IELTS writing task 1
The line graph depicts the amount of fish, lamb, beef and chicken consumed per person per week in a European country from 1979 to 2004, a period of 25 years.
It is evident that beef was the meat most consumed at the beginning of the period starting at over 200 grams.
Apart from a brief increase until 1989, beef consumption dropped dramatically, finishing around 100 grams by the end of the period.
In 1979, Chicken and Lamb were consumed at a similar rate around 150 grams, but then they saw two opposite trends. On the one hand, chicken consumption increased exceeding beef consumption in 1989 and finishing approximately at 250 grams.
On the other hand, after 1979, lamb were eaten at decreasing rate accounting at just over 50 grams over the period.
Fish was the least type of food consumed over these twenty five years, starting being consumed around 60 grams and finishing approximately at 40 grams after a slight decreasing trend throughout the period.

In 1979, Cchicken and Llamb were consumed at a similar rate around 150 grams, but then they saw ("experienced"? "saw" is OK but slightly odd) two opposite trends. On the one hand, chicken consumption increased*,* exceeding beef consumption in 1989 and finishing approximately at 250 grams.
On the other hand, after 1979, lamb were was eaten at a decreasing rate*,* accounting at just over 50 grams over the period. (I'm not sure what you mean. Is this really over the whole period or at the end? You could say "accounting FOR just over 50 grams at the end (or over the whole period)."
Fish was the least type of food least consumed over these twenty five years, starting being consumed around 60 grams and finishing approximately at 40 grams after a slight decreasing trend throughout the period. ("starting being consumed" is grammatically correct but it would be awkward to say and can be left out. Better would be "starting at a consumption rate of around...")
In general, well done.
