The graph below shows the proportion of the population aged 65 and over between 1940 and 2040 in three different countries.
Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.
第一段：
The graph shows the increase in the ageing population （ 词汇替代aged 65 and over） in Japan, Sweden and the USA. It indicates that the percentage of elderly people （ 词汇替代aged 65 and over） in all three countries is expected to（预计=is projected to=is predicted to） increase to almost 25% of the respective populations by the year 2040.
第二段：
In 1940 the proportion of people aged 65 or more stood at only 5% in Japan, approximately 7% in Sweden and 9% in the US (占比多少的描述方法). However, while the figures for the Western countries grew to about 15% in around 1990, the figure for Japan dipped （微微下降，下降的描述）to only 2. 5% for much of this period （虽然一个数据上升，另外一个数据下降）, before rising to （先下降再上升的描述）almost 5% again at the present time.
第三段：
In spite of some fluctuation （尽管有波动） in the expected percentages, the proportion of older people （ 词汇替代aged 65 and over） will probably（涉及到将来的题目加上这种模糊语比较好） continue to increase in the next two decades in the three countries. A more dramatic rise is predicted （形容词加名词版上升的描述，而且这里用了被动） between 2030 and 2040 in Japan, by which time it is thought that the proportion of elderly people will be similar （数据相似） in the three countries.
