Map Make sure you organize your response into three main parts, the
introduction, an overview, and the main features supported by figures
from the diagram.

 What does the IELTS Writing Task 1 Academic consist of?

The IELTS Writing Task 1 asks you to write a summary of at least 150 words
about some visual information, usually in the form of a graph or chart. You
will need to pick out the main features and describe and compare the
data given.

As part of the task, you will need to

1. Write an introduction
2. Write an overview (a summary of what you see)
3. Present and highlight the key features with figures (data)
4. Academic Task 1 does NOT need a conclusion.

Before that make sure to do the following:

● Comprehend the writing task 1 marking criteria first.

● Ensure to use of a variety of vocabulary
● Craft the overview paragraph.
● Check the IELTS Writing task 1 grammar and sentence structure.

Ideally, your essay should have 4 paragraphs:

Paragraph 1 – Introduction
Paragraph 2 – Overview
Paragraph 3 – 1st main feature
Paragraph 4 – 2nd main feature

 How Am I Going to be Marked Writing Task 1 Academic?

IELTS examiners must hold relevant teaching qualifications and extensive

teaching experience to be able to become qualified IELTS examiners.
These qualified examiners mark your Writing test against clearly defined
assessment criteria and their performance is subject to an extensive and
detailed review on a regular basis.

Your Writing test is marked by between 2 and 4 examiners to ensure the

highest level of accuracy and fairness in the marks awarded. The
assessment criteria used by examiners are the same for both the General
Training and Academic tests.

Your answers in Writing Task 1 are assessed against the following criteria:
task achievement, coherence and cohesion, lexical resource and
grammatical range, and accuracy.

Let us give you a clear view with an example:

IELTS Writing Score Task 1 IELTS Writing Score Task 2

Task Achievement: Band 7 Task Achievement: Band 6

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 6 Coherence and Cohesion: Band 7

Lexical Resource: 8 Lexical Resource: 8

Grammar: 7 Grammar: 6

Adding all these scores makes a total of 82. To make an average score,
82 must be further divided by 12. So, 82÷ 12 = 6.83 . Hence, 6.83 is the total
IELTS writing score of the candidate.

 Common Types Of Questions In IELTS Writing Task 1
Academic
Let’s dig in deeper into the types of questions asked in Writing Task 1
Academic.

Map
Task 1 map questions usually consist of two maps that have undergone a
change. The maps are usually of a landscape, an island, or a town. In the
introduction – you may use “illustrate”, to describe a location – you may
use the “cardinal directions like north, east, etc” and in the conclusion –
you may use “Overall”.

Bar Chart/ Graph

Bars charts or bar graphs consist of rectangular bars, which can be
oriented horizontally or vertically, with the lengths proportional to the data
values that they represent. They are typically used for comparing two or
more values. In short, the IELTS bar graph represents a diagrammatic
comparison of distinct variables.

Pie Chart
Pie charts are circular charts divided into sectors or ‘pie slices’, usually
illustrating percentages. The size of each pie slice shows the relative
quantity of the data it represents. Together, the slices create a full circle.

Table Graph
In the Table Graph, you need to describe some visual information. Tables
contain words, numbers or signs, or a combination of these, displayed in
columns or boxes to illustrate a set of facts and the relationship between
them. Vocabulary for table graphs is similar to Bar graphs and line
graphs.

8
Process Diagram
A process diagram is an illustration that shows you how something is
done. It could be anything from the creation of a product to the recycling
cycle. Generally, there’ll be two types of process questions, the first is a
manufacturing process: something that humans do, and the second is a
natural process: something that occurs in nature.

Flow Chart
Flow chart is a diagrammatic representation that explains the workflow of
a process. a conventional flow chart represents an algorithm whereas an
IELTS Academic flow chart might be about a process too.

Line Graph
Line graphs can be used to show how information or data changes over
time. They have an x-axis (horizontal) and a y-axis (vertical). Line graphs
can be used when you are plotting data that have peaks (ups) and
troughs (downs). In other words, they highlight trends and are easier to
interpret than they may look.

Combinations
In IELTS Writing task 1, sometimes, there will be two or more different types
of charts and graphs. For instance, pie charts and bar charts, line graphs,
and pie charts. Combinations or Multiple charts usually include two
diagrams such as a bar chart and a line graph or a pie chart and a table
as in this sample question.

 Writing Technique
Tips & Tricks to Ace Academic Writing Task 1

● When you write your answers, remember the examiners are

grading you on your expression. There are no wrong or right
answers.

● Examine the questions properly and see that you cater to all parts
of the question.

● Remember to stick to the word limit. If you happen to write lesser

than 150 words in Task 1 or lesser than 250 in Task 2, you will lose
marks.

● Always write the answers in your own language. If you use the
words from the question exactly, you will not be given marks for
the same.

● Do not use bullets in your answers, always write them in full.

Arrange your basic ideas into different paragraphs. This shows
the examiner how well you can organize your points.

● Do not concentrate on writing long and complicated answers.

Write well, coherently, and organize your thoughts well. Ensure,
your grammar is immaculate.

● When attempting Academic Writing Task 1, you will have to select

and compare relevant information from data presented in a graph,
table, or diagram. When writing the introduction, never copy the text
from the question. Always use your own words.

● In your essay, keep the last paragraph for a valid conclusion of all
the points you’ve made in the answer.

12
 ● Do not confuse singular and plural nouns. Always double-check
your answers for this common mistake.

● Remember, spellings are everything. Standard American, British,

and Australian spellings are all acceptable in IELTS.

How Do I Score Band 9 in IELTS Academic Writing Task 1?

You can improve your IELTS Task 1 (graph writing) band score and your
English proficiency by maintaining the subject, improving your grammar,
applying a wide-ranging and precise vocabulary, and generating
coherence and cohesiveness. Once you have mastered this task, keep in
mind the bigger picture by focusing on scoring highly on the entire exam.
To begin achieving that bigger objective, make sure you practice as much
as possible.

13
 Practice With Help
Here is a typical example of a question you could be asked in IELTS Writing
Task 1.

14
Here’s what you can do to write the Writing Task 1 Academic Essay
A. Introduce the graph/chart
B. Give an overview
C. Describe the main features
D. D. Give a short conclusion

A. Explain the graph or chart

To do this, you must rephrase the given information and explain what the
IELTS writing task represents. Develop paraphrasing skills to write an
introduction to the given chart or graph.

B. Provide an Overview

The major theme or standout fact from the graph or chart should be
clearly stated in this summary/ overview. Just describe what you see from
the chart in general, do not include information from the chart.

C. Identify the key characteristics.

Here, you can go into greater depth about the graph. Only the data should
be used as a reference. You must list the similarities and differences
between the two graphs. Here, comparative structures can be helpful.

D. Compose a short conclusion.

Although it's not quite compulsory, it is recommended that you add a

succinct conclusion. This should bring the entire essay together and might
even contain an important examination of the reasons why the trends
have occurred. Make sure you don’t go too far from the subject.

 Sample Answers

Exercise 1:

The map describes how a university sports court area has changed from
1990 to the present day. Looking from an overall perspective, it is readily
apparent that the number of total courts for tennis and basketball has
increased at the expense of parking and a park, while a formal building
with a gym now houses various exercise facilities. These changes allow for
more varied activities.

In 1990, on the left side of the map was a park with trees and grass as well
as a car park. Today, the park has been replaced by a large basketball
court and the car park by 4 tennis courts.

On the right side of the map, a structure to contain the various athletic
facilities has been erected with only the indoor pool and reception area in
the same position in the new building. The changing room beneath the
reception area and the pool has been lengthened and moved slightly to
the right so as to line up directly above a new, large fitness center. The
fitness center has replaced two tennis courts, now outside the main
building.

25
Exercise 2:

The bar chart shows the percentage of people who have part-time jobs in

the countries that make up the United Kingdom, both in 1980 and in 2010.

There has generally been a small increase in part-time workers from 1980

to 2010, except in Northern Ireland. The graph also shows that England and

Wales have far more part-time workers than Northern Ireland and

Scotland.

In 1980, 25% of people in England worked part time. The only country with a

greater percentage of part-time workers was Wales, with around 33%

working part-time. Both countries saw an increase in the percentage of

people working part time in 2010. In England, the percentage rose to over

30%, and in Wales, the percentage rose to just over 35%.

Scotland had the smallest percentage of part-time workers in 1980, with

just over ten percent. However, this rose to almost 20% in 2010 which is a

large increase. Lastly, Northern Ireland was the only country which had a

decreasing percentage of part-time workers. In 1980, it had around 15% of

people in part-time work. This decreased by a couple of percents in 2010.

26
Exercise 3:

The charts compare four retail sectors in Canada in terms of the

proportion of their internet sales in two years, 2005 and 2010.

Overall, the proportion of online sales for each of the four sectors changed
significantly from 2005 to 2010. While the figures for food and beverages
and video games increased, the statistics for the other two sectors fell. In
2005, the proportion of online sales of food and beverages was 22%, but
this rose to 32% in 2010. The percentage for internet sales of video games
also went up, by 5% from the 2005 figure of 18%.

In contrast, the percentages of online sales in the other sectors decreased.

The most dramatic fall was in the home furnishings retail sector. While this
figure was 25% of these four sectors’ total online sales in 2005, it fell to 15%
in 2010. There was also a decrease in the electronics and appliances
sector, which saw a fall from 35% in 2005 to 30% in 2010.

Exercise 4:

The table details age demographics and their relation to poverty in three
states in the United States of America. Looking from an overall
perspective, it is readily apparent that there are more young individuals in
Utah, while those over 60 in poverty are more common in California and
especially Florida. Average incomes are generally highest in California
and Florida and the largest proportion of total residents in poverty is
highest in California, followed by Florida, and lastly Utah.

27
In California, 16% of all residents are under the official poverty line, with 17%
of all residents under 18 years old and 13% over 60. These figures are
broadly similar to Florida where 12% of the population is in poverty (16% of
total residents under the age of 18 and a notable 23% over 60). In terms of
average income, California was recorded at $23,000 and Florida was
slightly lower at $22,000.

The figures in Utah are markedly different as only 9% of residents are

considered poor. Of the total population age demographics, 28% are
under the age of 18 but just 8% are elderly individuals. Additionally,
average earnings are lower than the other two states at just $17,000.

Exercise 5:

The diagram displays the production of instant noodles. Overall, it is an

automated process that consists of six main stages: mixing raw materials,
producing dough strips, making noodle discs, cooking, drying, and
packaging.

First of all, flour kept in storage silos is transported to a manufacturing

center by truck. There, it is combined with water and oil in a mixer to
create dough. The dough then passes through several rollers which knead
it until it becomes dough sheets that have a consistent texture and the
perfect thickness for instant noodles. Next, the sheets are cut by slitters
into dough strips, which are subsequently placed in molds to form noodle
discs.

The discs then go through the cooking process in which they are fried in
oil. Once fried, they are cooled and dried before being put into cups along
with packets of vegetables and spices. Finally, the cups are labeled and
sealed.

28
Exercise 6:

The provided illustration gives essential information regarding the impact

of deforestation. At a glance, deforestation brings an array of negative
consequences, including floods, reduced biodiversity, drought, and soil
erosion.

As per the presentation in the illustration, the primary consequence and

result of deforestation could be divided into four significant categories.
First of all, heavy logging tools and equipment compress the soil, making
it harder and baked. Owing to this, rainwater runs off, and devastating
floods hit.

Secondly, only a few roots manage to hold the topsoil in place, courtesy of
cutting trees from the forest, which ultimately leads to soil erosion.

Third, the risk of accidental or deliberate burning uprises and waste woods
from the logging is demolished. Micro-organisms depend upon the waste
lost, and pioneer species move in while the vegetation gets reduced. The
entire process turns out to be a massive loss of biodiversity.

Finally, deforestation leads to lesser moisture returning to the air by plants,

causing lesser precipitation. In turn, it gives rise to drought—all of this
cause less biodiversity.

29
Exercise 7:

The diagrams compare the male and female employment status in six
different job sectors in two different years – 1975 and 1995. As is seen from
the given illustration, men were well ahead of women in all the job sectors
in Freedonia in 1975. However, the scenario changed in 1995 and women's
employment scenario showed remarkable progress.

According to the charts, men in Freedonia were visibly ahead of females in

manufacturing, finance/banking, wholesale & retail trade, defense, and
non-defense sectors. In manufacturing, more than 600 male employees
could be seen against only 300 female employees out of a thousand
employees. Except in the communication sector, the proportion of male
employees was far greater than that of females. Among the given job
sectors, the public /non-defense sector had the highest number of
employees while the defense sector had the least ratio of employees.

After 20 years, women showed an outstanding advancement in these job

sectors and they went well ahead of men in the communication,
wholesale & retail trade sectors. They become almost equal in number in
finance and banking jobs while the gap between male and female
employees number reduced in defense jobs. The only sector still
dominated by males was manufacturing and the job ratio in this sector
remained almost the same as it was 20 years earlier.

30
Exercise 8:

The bar graph compares the proportion of XCountry foreign visitors in

2007 and 2008, while the table outlines the revenue of several businesses
yearly. The number of visitors is presented in thousands while the revenue
is measured in millions of dollars.

The bar graph indicates that there has been a decrease in the number of
foreign visitors. American and Canadian tourists witnessed the most
significant fall from around 2500 visitors to less than 500 visitors. The
same trend is also shown by European tourists. In 2007, the percentage
was almost the same as that of Americans and Canadians but then
reduced by more than half in 2008. Moving to Chinese and Japanese
tourists, there were around 3000 people visiting XCountry in 2007, but the
number declined by a third a year later. As far as Australian tourists are
concerned, the number experienced the slightest decrease and still made
up more than 2000 visitors in 2008.

The table shows that the income of several businesses has plummeted in
2008. In 2007, the annual income of hotels and resorts was 3.5 million
dollars. The number shrank to only half a million in 2008, representing the
biggest fall in the hospitality industry. Likewise, restaurants, bars, and
souvenir shops had an annual revenue of 2.4 million dollars in 2007. The
number decreased by half a year later. As for transportation and travel
agent, their income decreased by more than half to less than half a million
dollars. Unlike the three businesses aforementioned, tour guides, small
vendors and other services witness the slightest fall in yearly income and
still earned more than a million dollars in 2008.

The two maps show the same island while first one is before and the second
one is after the construction for tourism.

Looking first at the one before construction, we can see a huge island with a
beach in the west. The total length of the island is approximately 250
meters.

Moving on the second map, we can see that there are lots of buildings on
the island. There are two areas accommodation.

One is in the west near the beach while the other one is in the centre of the
island. Between them, there is a restaurant in the north and a central
reception block, which is surrounded by a vehicle track.

This track also goes down to the pier where people can go sailing in the
south sea of the island. Furthermore, tourists can swim near the beach in
the west. A footpath connecting the western accommodation units also
leads to the beach.

Overall, comparing the two maps, there are significant changes after this
development. Not only lots of facilities are built on the island, but also the
sea is used for activities. The new island has become a good place for
tourism.

This pair of maps depicts change over the course of a century in the Sawry
District neighborhood by showing the area in 1920 and 2020.

The overall change in the neighborhood is one of growth. By 2020 there are
more businesses, more housing, and greater public services. However, not
all businesses and services remained intact after 1920.

Business and housing saw the most change and growth. The cannery
present in 1920 was replaced by an office complex. Two of the houses near
the Elmwood River were demolished and replaced by a road and an
apartment complex. Oak Avenue went from having two houses and a shop
to having three houses, two shops, an apartment complex, and a petrol
station.

The change in public services was less significant than the change in
housing and businesses. Prestwich Primary School was demolished and
then rebuilt as a bigger school, closer to Oak Street’s shops. And Elmwood
River gained a bridge and a bike path, the latter of which replaced the small
beach seen on the 1920 map.

The two maps of Paradise Island in the past and the present depict the
many changes that occurred over a period of time.

Overall, Paradise island now has been transformed into a well-facilitated

tourist destination.

The island seemed undeveloped in the past, with palm trees dotted around
it. The only establishment at that time was the scientific research station. A
pier was located on the west coast of the island, allowing boats to access
the shores and a beach was towards the Northwest of the island. To the
East, there existed a natural spring, which was not far away from some
rocks in the Northeast.

At present, the research station is replaced by a huge hotel with swimming

pool access towards its North. The pier is enlarged, where cruise ship
passengers enter the island. An open restaurant and a BBQ area were
constructed in the center of the island. To the south of the spring, a cafe is
set up. A scenic lookout is opened at the Northwest of the rocks. People are
now permitted on the beach. Interestingly, there is a cycle path connecting
to all mentioned facilities.

The two maps show the radical changes that Happy Valley Shopping Center
underwent during the period between 1982 and 2012. Overall, it is clear that
the redevelopment resulted in expansion of the shopping mall and
rearrangement of its in-house facilities.

By 2012, the indoor shopping area spread to the west, and the outdoor lake
was replaced by a furniture retailer. Additionally, considerable changes
were made to the north-west part where a coffee shop was removed and
an adjacent food store was relocated to the south-east corner of the mall.
Two stores selling sports and electronic goods took over their previous
locations along the northern wall. A linear array of themed restaurants
moved in along the eastern wall of the shopping centre, replacing sports
and electronics shops. On the western side, the lobby area at the main
entrance was removed to allow for a bigger central entertainment area.

Yet another alteration was made outside, where a path leading to the main
entrance of the mall was removed and instead a spacious car park was
built. The entrance, however, was kept in the same location and the lines of
trees surrounding the shopping centre remained largely unchanged where
possible.

The two charts give information about the gender and number of athletes
who have entered the Games since they started. The bar chart illustrates
the number of men and women entering the Games, whereas the line graph
shows the number of participants.

It is evident from the bar chart that, until 2012, there were always
significantly more men entering the Games than women. In 1924 and 1952,
there were hardly any women entering the Games, yet in 1952 there were
over 4,000 male participants. In 2012, however, the number of female
athletes rose significantly to nearly 5,000, only approximately 1,000 lower
than male participants.

The line graph shows a similar trend, with the number of participants
increasing throughout the century. The most significant increase occurred
between 1984 and 2012, when the number of athletes rose from just over
6,000 to over 10,000 in 2012.

To summarise therefore, since 1924 the number of athletes entering the

Olympic Games has increased dramatically. This is particularly the case for
women, who are now represented in nearly the same numbers as male

The given diagram shows different stages of brick manufacturing for the
building industries. Generally speaking, brick production involves 7 steps,
starting from the digging stages and ending at the delivery stage.

As is given in the graph, the first step of brick manufacturing is digging the
clay with a large digger. This clay is then filtered and processed in a roller
machine and then mixed with sand and water. In the third stage, the
mixture is either kept in a mould or cut in a wire cutter to make the raw
shape of the bricks. In the next step, the shaped raw bricks are dried for 24
to 48 hours in a drying oven. After that, the dried raw bricks are kept in a
kiln, both in moderate and high temperature, up to 1300 degree centigrade
and then placed in a cooling chamber for about 48 to 72 hours. This process
makes the brick to be packed and delivered in the final two steps. The
delivery process is the final process of brick manufacturing and as it is
noted, brick making is a moderately complex process that requires some
predefined works to make it usable.

The diagram detailed above delineates how plastic bottles are recycled.
Looking from an overall perspective, it is readily apparent that this circular
process is comprised of 3 main stages including initial collection and
sorting, followed by processing and cleaning, and finally reconstitution into
a novel material for further usage.

Recycling commences when an individual places their rubbish in a

designated recycling bin, prior to being loaded into specialized garbage
trucks. After transportation to the recycling center, the plastic bottles are
sorted by hand, compressed tightly to form blocks and then crushed into
small pieces and washed.

The next stages involve transformation into a reusable material. The pieces
of plastic are first poured into a machine that turns them into pellets. These
pellets are then heated in order to create a raw material that can be used in
the manufacture of products ranging from clothes and bottles to containers
and pencils. These items are themselves recyclable and the process begins

The diagram shows a process for producing electricity for home use. The
equipment consists of a large tank, boxes and pipes that would be able to
fit into a garage-sized room.

Electricity is produced using methane gas, generated from a mix of

compost and water in a large steel tank. The tank is about the same height
as a person and about twice as wide. Methane rises to the top of the tank
and is collected and stored in a gas storage system. The stored gas is the
fuel source used in the energy conversions that happen next.

Once compressed in a gas compressor, the methane fuels a combustion

engine, which in turn produces mechanical energy. Having been transferred
to a generator, the mechanical energy is then transformed into electrical
energy, which is then stored in a battery. At this stage the electricity is ready
for home use.

The flow chart shows what happens after too many trees have been cut
down in a forest or jungle. There are four immediate results of this
deforestation; however, they lead to two main consequences, which are
flooding and a loss of biodiversity in the region.

One of the immediate results of forests being clear cut is that the heavy
logging machinery that is used compresses the soil, thus causing the
ground to become hard and developing a “baked” texture. When it rains,
instead of soaking into the ground, water simply runs off. This causes
flooding, which is the first of the two main negative outcomes.

Other results of clear cutting are that fewer roots are left to hold the top soil
in place, causing erosion. There is also an increased risk of forest fire, which
causes waste wood and thus a loss of the organisms that would otherwise
feed upon it. Additionally, with fewer plants and trees, there is less moisture
returned to the air, resulting in less precipitation and therefore more
drought in the area. All of this leads to a degradation of vegetation and, as
a result, less biodiversity.

and sales together with the feedback supplied towards the earlier stages
which allows improvements and modifications throughout the process.

The product manufacturing process is initiated with the purchase of raw

materials and manufactured components which are kept in storage until
the production process is planned. Production planning stage involves
product research and design. The process is carried through the stages of
assembly, inspection, testing and packaging of the final product
sequentially which is then dispatched for sales to the consumers.

Production planning provides feedback for storage. Likewise, sales provide

feedback for both production planning and market research, which in turn

Between 1901 and the present day, the birth rate has been consistently
higher than the death rate. It stood at 20,000 at the start of this period and
increased to a peak of 66,000 in 1961. Since then the rate has fluctuated
between 65 and 50 thousand and it is expected to decline slowly to around
45,000 births by the end of the century.

In contrast, the death rate started below 10,000 and has increased steadily
until the present time. This increase is expected to be more rapid between
2021 and 2051 when the rate will probably level off at around 60,000, before
dropping slightly in 2101.

The graph shows how the populations of India and China have changed
since 2000 and how they will change in the future.

In 2000, there were more people living in China than in India. The number of
Chinese was 1.25 billion, while India’s population was about 1 billion.
Between 2000 and 2010, there has been a 0.2 billion rise in the number of
Indian citizens. Over the same period, China’s population has increased by
0.1 billion to reach over 1.35 billion.

According to the graph, the population in India will increase more quickly
than in China, and experts say that by 2030, both countries will have the
same population of 1.45 billion. After this, China’s population is likely to fall
slightly to 1.4 billion in 2050, while India’s population will probably increase
and reach 1.6 billion.

Thus, over the 50-year period, India is going to experience steady growth in
its population and it will overtake China. On the other hand, China’s
population will peak in 2030 and then begin to fall.

The line chart outlines how much waste was recycled in the US between
1960 and 2011. The garbage recycling is presented both in quantity, in million
tons, and percentage. Generally speaking, waste recycling in the US after
1985 increased remarkably despite a big proportion of litter remained
unrecycled. As the data suggests, 5.6 million tons rubbish was recycled in
the USA in 1960 which accounted for 6.4% of the trash production in this
year.

The recycling in 1965 slightly declined but increased in 1970 when 6.6%
waste recycling took place. In 1980, more than 14 million tons of garbage
was recycled and it developed by almost 2% after 5 years. After a decade,
16% of total waste was recycled and this ratio after that increased steadily.

Almost one-third of the surplus was recycled in 2005 which amounted

nearly 80 million tons. A through observation indicates that a great
percentage of scrap in the US is not recycled. For instance, 80 million tons,
about 31% waste recycling figure in the US shows that another 160 million
tons are not recycled. Finally, in 2011, more than one-third rubbish was
recycled which accounted for around 87 million tons of waste produced in
the USA.

The first graph shows the trend in world population growth between 1800
and 2100, while the second graph gives predicted urban population figures
for the next 25 years.

The world population has experienced continuous growth since 1800.

Between 1800 and 1950, the population grew slowly from just under 1 billion
to 2.5 billion people. After that, the growth rate increased and currently the
figure is around 6.5 billion. Projections show a continued increase in
population in the near future, but a steady decline in the population growth
rate. The global population is expected to peak at 8.2 billion by 2050, and
then decline to around 6.2 billion by 2100.

The predictions also show that almost all urban population growth in the
next 25 years will occur in cities of developing countries. In developed
regions, on the other hand, the urban population is expected to remain
unchanged at about 1.3 billion people over the next two decades.

The graphs show that the global population increase will not occur evenly
throughout the world, but will be greater in some areas than others.

The table and pie charts provide information about the 2017–18 police
budget of one area of Britain. The table displays the sources of the budget’s
funds while the charts show where the funds went.

Overall, the total police budget increased with the national government
being the biggest funder in both years. In terms of expenditure, salaries
remained the primary form.

In 2017, the police had a total budget of £304.7 million, which rose
significantly to £318.6 million in 2018. The majority of this money was
sourced from the national government, with an increase from £175.5 million
to £177.8 million. Of all sources of funding, local taxes saw the largest growth
from £91.2 million to £102.3 million, whilst other sources accounted for £38.5
million of the total budget in 2018, £0.5 million more than the previous year.

Expenditure primarily consisted of officer and staff salaries, although the

proportion decreased from 75% of the total to 69%. However, spending on
technology almost doubled from 8% to 14%, whereas expenditure on

One interesting change is that a new trans line has been built, to connect
the university with the town centre. In 2000, there wasn't any
accommodation for students, but a hall of residence has been built near
the university. Another striking change is that the old market in the west of
the city has been knocked down to make way for new shops. A completely
new covered market has also been built on the other side of town.

If we look at the port area, it has been pedestrianized since 2000, and a

and clubs. The north-east of the city used to be a green area, with lots of
trees, but the trees have been cut down, and a new shopping complex has

The bar chart reveals the daily number of hours that British people from
various age groups spend engaged in leisure activities by themselves and
with other people.

Overall, it can be seen that the British spend more of their leisure time with
others than alone across all age groups, with the youngest and oldest
members of the population spending the most leisure time with others. In
addition, time spent alone generally increases with age.

The amount of leisure time that people in the United Kingdom spend with
others peaks between the ages of 8 and 15 at a little over 5 hours per day. It
then declines to a low of approximately 3.5 hours a day between the ages of
25 and 34, before gradually rising again as people age, reaching around 4.5
hours per day for those aged over 65.

When it comes to leisure time spent alone, the overall trend is similar for
those aged over 16, albeit from a lower base. Leisure time spent alone drops
from just under 2 hours per day for those aged 16 to 24 to a little over 1 hour
per day for those aged 25 to 34, before slowly rising to just under 3 hours per
day for the oldest age group. However, whereas those between the ages of

The graphic explains many architectural techniques for building houses in
both hot and cold climates.

Overall, a house in a cold environment employs thermal materials because

it concentrates more on storing heat, whereas a house in a hot climate
prioritizes reflecting roof materials and an effective ventilation system.

In cold climates, heat storage is a key consideration in home design. In

order to face the sun, the high angled roof is a large, open surface area.
Right underneath the roof, which is intended to store heat, is the thermal
building material. Additionally, the house has insulation on its walls to
prevent heat loss, and each window is positioned to allow in as much
natural sunshine as possible.

The architecture of houses in warm climates varies depending on the time

of day. External insulation, roof materials, and notably the roof itself create
shade to survive the heat throughout the day. Additionally, windows are
covered and shuttered during the day, but left open at night to allow the
home to breathe its interior and release any accumulated heat.

pipes into a water filter and then a storage tank.

From the storage tank, it next flows by more piping to a water treatment
tank where a chemical process makes the water clean enough for residents

Overall, it is clear that canning of fish is a lengthy and tedious process

involving many steps. Each step is very important to retain the freshness of
the fish and to make it consumable for a long time.

The diagrams show the structure and processes of generating electricity
from the wave power. As is observed from the presented illustration, the
wave is used to produce the electricity and both the tide and ebb the
structure is used to rotate a turbine to produce the electricity.

According to the given pictorial, the electricity producing machine works in

two ways. Firstly, the structure is placed near a sea so that the wave water
gets inside the chamber and creates an air pressure that would rotate the
turbine placed inside a column. The rotation of the turbine produces
electricity which is stored in the cells and this electricity can be passed and
used. The whole structure is placed near the sea, adjacent to a cliff or sea
wall.

The second illustration depicts how the electricity can be produced using
the ebb tide of the sea. During the ebb, the water gets off from the chamber
and the air pressure is created again from the opposite direction and this
rotates the turbine. The rotation of the turbine produces electricity and
supplies it to the storage.

In summary, the electricity can be produced using a structure near the sea
and both the tide and the ebb-tide is used to rotate the turbine to produce
the electricity.

The chart illustrates the proportion of people using different methods to
access news from 1995 and the prediction to 2025.

Overall, while the internet gained more popularity during the given period,
the opposite was true for the remaining figures. These trends are likely to
continue in the future.

The percentage of people who watched news programs on TV was nearly

70% in 1995. The figure then decreased gradually to 55% in 2020, despite a
slight rise of 3% in 2010. It is then likely to finish at exactly 50% in 2025.
Additionally, starting at about 55%, the figures for newspapers and radios
experienced similar downward trends, declining to about 30% in 2020. The
expectation is that approximately 30% of people will use newspapers, and
roughly 23% will listen to the radio to get news.

Despite only becoming available in 1995 and attracting only a small

proportion of people in 2000, the internet quickly became prevalent in the
next 20 years, with 40% of people using it. The figure is predicted to increase
to about 55% in 2025, overcoming newspapers to become the most
common method to access news in 2025.

the unemployment rate decreased as the figure for workforce rose
steadily,becoming above 4%.

The percentage of workforce in America fell over next three years,reaching

5% in March 1999. There was an overall fall of 2% in the US workforce over
this period of six years.

On the other hand,the proportion of Japanese workforce rose over to 5% in

march 1998. The figure plateaued between March 1998 and March 1999.
There was an overall rise of 2.5% in workforce over a period of six years.

It is interesting to note that both the US and Japan had 5% of workforce by

the end of the period shown.

The graph shows the number of hours per day on average that children
spent watching television. The graph covers the period between 1950 and
2010.

From 1950 to 1960, there was a modest rise in the average number of hours
children spent in front of the television set. This was followed by a marked
increase from approximately one hour to four hours of viewing per day
among children between 1965 and 1982. Over the next five years, there was
a decrease. However this trend proved negligible as the viewing figure then
rose again marginally, and it reached a peak of over four hours in 1995.

Between 1995 and 2010, there was another modest decline in the hours
children spent watching television.

Overall, it can be concluded that there has been a significant rise in

television viewing over the sixty-year period, though there is some
indication that this trend may be changing.

The given line graph illustrates information on the number of overseas
visitors traveling to Australia in millions of people. Overall, one notable trend
seems to be that Australia has steadily become more popular as a
destination spot. For example, there were 20 million more visitors to
Australia in 2005 than in 1975. That's a jump from 10 million to 30 million in
20 years.

of visitors came from Japan, followed by South Korea and Europe. Britain,
the United States and China also had many people traveling to Australia in
these years. In fact, the number of people visiting Australia grew in every
one of these countries. For example, in 2005, 12 million people went there
from Japan compared with only 3.2 million in 1975.

The line graph presents the number of cars sold in a five-year period
starting from 2015, while the pie chart outlines five types of cars purchased
within that period. There are three car brands shown in the graph, which are
Xbrand, Ybrand and Zbrand. Units are presented in millions.

The line graph indicates that the sales of Xbrand cars constantly increases.
There were less than 1 million units of Xbrand cars sold in 2015, much lower
compared to the two other brands. The number doubled two years later,
surpassing the sales of Zbrand cars in 2017. In the following year, the sales of
Xbrand cars surpassed Ybrand car. By the year of 2020, nearly 3 million
units of Xbrand cars were sold. Unlike Xbrand, Zbrand used to have the
highest sales in 2015, selling around 4 million units of cars. The sales was
reduced almost by a half only a year later. In 2017, the sales hit its lowest
point. Despite the dramatic fall, the sales of Zbrand cars slightly increased
in the following period. As far as Ybrand is concerned, the sales experienced
a slow but steady growth. The sales reached its peak in 2017, in which nearly
3 million units of car were sold. However, the sales decreased two years
later.

Moving to the pie chart, it can be seen that the majority of car buyers
purchased an MPV, which accounted for 35% of the sales. Hatchback city
car and SUV were the second most favorite cars, which together made up
more than half of the total sales. Sedan and sportscar together made up
less than 15% of the sales.

TYPE 8: COMBINATIONS

Sample Answer

The line graph shows global water consumption in three different sectors
between 1900 and 2000, while the table compares water use in Brazil and
the Democratic Republic of Congo in 2000.

Overall, water consumption increased in all three sectors but agriculture

consumed far more water than the other two. Brazil was a much bigger
water consumer than Congo.

Agriculture remained the most water-consuming industry. It used about

500 km3 of water in 1900 and this number increased dramatically to around
3,000 km3 in 2000. Less than 100 km3 of water was used for either industrial
or residential purposes in 1900. Not until around 1950 did water
consumption rise significantly, eventually reaching by 2000 roughly 1000
km3 for the former and 500 km3 for the latter.

Brazil had a population of 176 million, an irrigated land area of 26,500 km2,
and a per capita water consumption of 359 m3. In comparison, the
corresponding figures for Congo were only 5.2 million, 100 km2, and 8 m3.
This made Brazil a much larger water user than Congo.

TYPE 8: COMBINATIONS

Sample Answer
The pie chart shows what one university’s graduating Anthropology
students went on to do after completing their undergraduate degree, while
the table illustrates how much the anthropologists who found jobs earned
after 5 years.

Overall, the majority of the graduates had full-time jobs. In terms of salaries,
while a significant proportion of the freelance consultants and government
employees earned at least $75,000, only roughly half of the private sector
employees did.

Just over half of the graduates went on to work full-time, compared with
only 15% working part-time and 12% unemployed. Those who did full-time
postgraduate study and those who did postgraduate study while working
part-time each only made up a small minority of the graduates, at 8% and
5% respectively.

Moving on to their salaries, 80% of the freelance consultants earned at least

$75,000, half of whom were in the highest salary range of more than
$100,000. Although there were also 80% of the government employees
making no less than $75,000, a relatively high proportion of the government
employees, at 50%, earned at least $100,000. In comparison, only 55% of
those working for private companies made a minimum of $75,000. The
proportions of the freelance consultants and government employees who
were in the lowest salary bracket of $25,000 to $49,999 both stood at only
5%, versus 10% for those employed in the private sector.

The given table talks about the amount of money an average family in the
city of the UK earned and paid to buy food as well as clothes. On the other
hand, the pie charts illustrate the spending proportion in such categories
between 2010 and 2013.

It is evident that although the total income of an average British family

subsided between 2010 and 2013, the money spent on food as well as
clothing ascended significantly. In addition to this, Britishers spent a lot on
food in comparison to clothes in both the years.

As per the table, in 2010, an average British family earned the amount of
£29,000. However, almost half of it was spent on clothes and food. In 2013,
the average income of a British household diminished to almost £25,000.
And, in terms of the expenditure on food and clothes, the number inflated by
£1,000.

In association with the pie charts, the percentage for spending on meat and
fish turned out to be the utmost among all of the categories, at 29%, in 2010.
However, after three years, this proportion dropped to 23%. In the same way,
a downward trend could be seen in the proportion of clothes, from 15% to
13%. On the other hand, people seemed to disburse more money on fruit,
vegetables, and dairy products as the figures went up to 30% and 16%
respectively. Meanwhile, the proportion of spending on other food remained
unruffled at exactly 18%.
