Here is a great little lesson from BBC Learning English to help you.
And here are some examples from IELTS Task 1 Writing reports.
However, the spending on furniture and other equipment experienced a dip in the middle year. It fell to just 5%. Ten years later, it had risen to almost a quarter of the total expenditure.
However, between 2006 and 2008, there was a steep rise to 38 screens in Bristopia.
The combined total of both animation and live action 3D releases in 2006 was 3, but by 2009 this number had risen to 15.
Globally, the average temperature has risen steadily over the past 150 years.
While temperatures rise throughout August and September, this rise is more gradual in Cape Town.
Notice in the final example you can use 'rise' as a VERB or a NOUN.
And don't forget the verb tense and form.
Present simple - rise / rises
Past simple - rose
Present perfect - has / have risen
Past perfect - had risen
Good luck!
