参考范文：The bar chart demonstrates the number of rentals and sales of films in varying formats (VHS, DVD and Blu-ray) per year in a shop over a nine year period from 2002 to 2011.
As the information shown in the chart demonstrates, most people preferred to rent movies at the beginning of the period. The number of rentals was just over 180,000 in 2002, while the number of VHS and DVD sales were only 85,000 and 48,000. After that, the number of rented films and VHS sales showed downward trends, falling dramatically to just below 60,000 in 2011 and 10,000 in 2005 respectively and it is noticeable that no one bought VHS after 2006.
On the other hand, there was a rise of DVD sales, peaking at 215,000 in 2007. And then the figure experienced a gradual decline to nearly 180,000 in the final year. Blue-ray, a new movie format, which appeared in 2007, gained in popularity rapidly from 2,000 sales in 2007 to 13,000 in 2011.
Overall, it is clear that renting and buying DVDs were the two most popular ways to watch movies over the given period.
