The line graph shows the midyear populations of China, India, and the USA, measured in millions, from 1950 to the year 2000.
Overall, all three countries witnessed an increase in their populations, with China and India both increasing at nearly the same rate; whereas, America’s population growth rate was much more subdued and was far less than the other two nations.
In 1950, China’s population stood at approximately 580 million and India’s 200 million less, (1)a variance that rose only slightly to 250 million by the end of the whole period. Likewise, the United States also had roughly the same difference with India in 2000 as at the beginning of the period, but whose population number only increased slowly throughout the fifty years.
The only significant deviation from the parallel trend of China and India was between the years 1959 to about 1963, when China registered a brief period of stagnant population growth, standing at 650 million for those four years, which thereafter, resumed climbing.
Conversely, the United States saw an extremely gradual yet consistent increase to just below the 300 million mark, (2)almost a full billion fewer people than China by the turn of the century.

(1) By following a noun or adjective with a comma and then ‘a’ (an), it allows us to further identify the noun. This is a common technique, called an ‘appositive phrase’ (同位语), that can also be used in Task 2, especially in the introduction for an opinion essay, where we can identify the topic as: ‘, a viewpoint I agree with...’
(2) Same as point one, but with the adverb ‘almost’ placed before the ‘a’.
