Sample Answer:

The line graph illustrates the number of UK residents going abroad from the UK and overseas residents visiting the UK between 1979 and 1999, while the bar chart gives information about how many UK residents travelled to five of the most popular countries in 1999. Units are measured in millions of people.

Overall, there was an increase in the number of visits to and from the UK and there were more visits abroad by UK residents than visits to the UK by overseas residents over the period given. Furthermore, the most popular country to visit by UK residents was France in 1999.

The number of UK residents visiting overseas began at just under 15 million in 1979 and rose significantly to reach over 50 million in 1999. Around 10 million overseas residents visited the UK in the first year before climbing steadily to just under 30 million by the final year.

In 1999, France was visited by over 10 million UK residents, followed by Spain at approximately 9 million. The USA and Greece had about 4 million and 3 million visitors respectively. The least popular country to visit was Turkey which had only about 2 million UK residents visiting. 

Paraphrasing에 유용한 상요어구들을 적어 보겠습니다. 

• shows = illustrates / gives information about

• the number =  how many

• visits abroad by UK residents = UK residents going abroad = UK residents travelling to...

• from 199 to 1999 = between 1979 and 1999 = over the period given

• rose = climbed

• about = approximately = around

첫번째 문단은 역시 주어진 그래프가 무엇에 관한 건지에 대해 설명하고 있습니다. 두개의 다른 유형의 그래프 때문에 많은 분들은 각각 따로이 설명을 적는 경우가 많습니다. 물론 그게 틀린 것은 아니지만 더욱 자연스럽고 잘 읽히게 하기 위해서는 두개의 그래프의 연계점을 보여주고 한 문장 안으로 설명을 끝내는게 좋습니다. 

The line graph illustrates the number of UK residents going abroad from the UK and overseas residents visiting the UK between 1979 and 1999, while the bar chart gives information about how many UK residents travelled to five of the most popular countries in 1999. Units are measured in millions of people.

여기서 while을 써서 두개의 그래프를 자연스럽게 연결 했습니다. 굳이 따로 쓰지 않으니 더욱 자연스러워 보입니다. 

맨 마지막에서 Units are measured in millions of people. 은 모든 리포트에 적용되는 건 아닙니다. 하지만 만약 쓸 수 있다면 적어주는게 좋겠죠? Units are measured in 이 상용어구를 외워두시면 유용히 쓸 수 있습니다. 

역시 두번째 문단에서는 전반적인 상황을 설명합니다.

Overall, there was an increase in the number of visits to and from the UK and there were more visits abroad by UK residents than visits to the UK by overseas residents over the period given. Furthermore, the most popular country to visit by UK residents was France in 1999.

전반적으로 UK 사람들이 외국을 방문하는게 외국인들이 UK를 방문한 것보다 높습니다. 그래서 첫번째 문장에서 주어진 기간 중에 외국인들이 UK를 방문한 것 보다는 UK사람들이 외국을 방문하는 게 증가 됬다고 합니다. 그에 더해 1999년에 UK 사람들이 가장 잘 방문한 나라는 프랑스라고 합니다. 

세번째 문단은 Line Graph를 자세히 설명하고 있습니다. 

The number of UK residents visiting overseas began at just under 15 million in 1979 and rose significantly to reach over 50 million in 1999. Around 10 million overseas residents visited the UK in the first year before climbing steadily to just under 30 million by the final year.

Line Graph의 라인이 어떻게 어디까지 올랐는지에 대해 숫자까지 적으며 자세히 설명하고 있습니다.

마지막 문단은 Bar Chart를 자세히 설명하고 있습니다. 

In 1999, France was visited by over 10 million UK residents, followed by Spain at approximately 9 million. The USA and Greece had about 4 million and 3 million visitors respectively. The least popular country to visit was Turkey which had only about 2 million UK residents visiting.
