Describing Trends In Writing Task 1

When explaining the graph in the writing section, you are usually asked to compare or show a particular trend. While doing so, it is preferred that you use verbs or nouns to express it. For example, to show a particular increase or rise in something can be expressed using the following verbs/nouns.

 GROWTH-: Certainly, there is growth amongst women wanting to pursue higher education.
 AN UPWARD TREND-: In recent times, an upward trend laying the importance of higher education can be seen in women.
