Essay

The table given provides a comparison of the number of automobiles produced in three
countries between 2003 and 2009.

From an overall perspective, it is evident that Thailand was the largest car manufacturer
over the course of 6 years. In addition, the number of automobiles produced in Australia
showed an upward trend, whereas a reverse pattern can be seen in the figures for
Argentina over the years shown.

In 2003, the number of cars manufactured in Thailand was largest, at 700,000. The figure for
Argentina was lower, at 400,000. Motor vehicle production in Australia, however,
accounted for the lowest number, at 200,000.

After reaching a peak of 1,119,000 in 2005, the automobile industry in Thailand witnessed
a decline to a low of 999,000. There was a steady rise in the number of motor vehicles
manufactured in Australia, reaching 600,000 in 2009. In contrast, the period from 2003 to
20009 saw a constant decrease in the figure for Argentina to just 161,000 in 2009.

car = automobile = motor vehicle

Automotive industry = motor vehicle production = the automobile industry
