IELTS Writing Task 1 - Sample 3

The graph below compares figures for the production and consumption of energy in the US from 1950 to 2013. It also predicts figures to 2023.

Describe the information in the graph, comparing and contrasting production and consumption levels.

You should write at least 150 words.

Here is my sample answer. I have forgotten to mention imports, which will reduce score in the real rest. Also, I have not divided the main body into paragraphs, which I should correct.

Another sample from a Nepalese student (corrected version)

The graph shows the changes in the amount of energy produced and consumed in the US since 1950 and projects trends until 2025.

Both the production and consumption of energy has been increasing. The gap is projected to be wider in the future, as we can see that consumption is consistently higher than energy produced in US (should be: in the US) . The deficit of energy is compensated by the imports ( by imports : do not use the).

In 1950, US (the US) produced 25 units of energy which has now increased to around 70 units in the year 2013. The energy production is anticipated to increase steadily to 90 units in 2025. It showed fluctuation for a small period time (period of time) in the years following 1975.

On the other hand, consumption of energy was above 25 units in the starting year. Since then, the consumption has been increasing consistently until the present year (add: reaching just below 100 units). In the following years, the demand is expected to rise sharply and by 2025, 140 units of energy is expected (are expected) to be consumed in US (the US).

My Answer with instructor's Correction

Model answer provided by my instructor at RTC ENGLISH with Guidelines.

1. Re-write / rephrase the title / task (try and make it simpler and more straightforward).

The graph shows the number of UK citizens who travelled overseas and the number of visitors to the UK between 1979 and 1999. The bar chart shows the most popular overseas destinations of British people.

2. Identify the main points described by the data ( look for a pattern in the data and describe it).
It can be seen that overseas travel by UK citizens grew substantially over the period and that the most popular destinations ( apart from the USA) were in Europe. Visits to the UK also increased, but at a slower rate.

3. Describe the data in a clear and organised way ( are you describing change or difference in this case a difference, but in the past tense).

In 1979, over 10 million overseas journeys were made by UK citizens. By 1984, this increased to 20 million and after that the rate of increase grew. In 1999, over 50 million UK residents traveled overseas.

There was a similar rate of increase in the number of people visiting the UK. In 1979, the number was 10 million and this number increased slowly until approximately 1986 and then the rate of increase became more marked. In 1999, almost 20 million people visited the UK.

By far the most popular destinations for UK residents in 1999 were France ( with approximately 11 million visitors) and Spain ( just under 10 million). The third most popular destination was the USA ( approximately 3 million visitors) followed by Greece and Turkey.

4. Give a summary statement.
In summary, overseas travel by UK residents grew five-fold between 1979 and 1999 while the number of visitors to the UK doubled. The most popular destinations for the British were France and Spain.

5. Write at least 150 words.
