**IELTS Writing Task 1**

The graph illustrates the average monthly percentage change in the prices of three
metals—copper, nickel, and zinc—during 2014.

Overall, the prices of all three metals experienced fluctuations throughout the
year, with copper showing the most significant changes, while nickel and zinc
remained relatively stable with minor variations. In January, copper prices peaked
at around 6%, the highest among the three, whereas nickel and zinc started at
approximately 2% and 1% respectively. From February to May, copper prices dropped
sharply to about -3%, the lowest point, while nickel and zinc also declined but
less dramatically, reaching around 0% and -1%.

From June to August, all three metals saw a slight recovery. Copper prices rose to
about 1%, nickel stabilized around 0%, and zinc fluctuated between 0% and 1%. In
the latter half of the year, from September to December, copper prices increased
steadily to around 2%, overtaking nickel, which remained stable at 0%. Zinc showed
a slight upturn, reaching approximately 2% by December, matching copper’s final
value.

In comparison, copper exhibited the greatest volatility, with a notable peak and
trough, while nickel and zinc prices were more consistent, with zinc showing a
slight upward trend towards the year’s end.
