TABLE GRAPHS

The table displays the date opened, number of kilometers and passengers each year in millions
for subway systems in various cities. Looking from an overall perspective, it is readily apparent
that the earlier underground railways tend to be longer and now serve more passengers per year
relative to the more recent ones. Tokyo stands out for serving by far the most passengers and
London for being both the oldest and largest.

London opened first (1863) and is nearly twice as expansive (394 kilometers) as the second
largest subway, in Paris, which opened in 1900 and is 199 kilometers long. However, Paris now
has more passengers compared to London (1,191,000,000 to 775,000,000). Tokyo was the next
oldest having been constructed in 1927 with routes measuring a total of 155 kilometers and
being made use of by 1,928,000,000 passengers annually.

The more modern subways are Washington D.C. (1976), Kyoto (1981), and Los Angeles (2001).
Washington is the largest of the 3 at 126 kilometers with 144,000,000 yearly passengers. Kyoto
is by far the smallest (11 kilometers) and serves relatively few individuals (45 million). Similarly,
the Los Angeles subway is 18 kilometers in cumulative length and only 50,000,000 people travel
on it each year.

The following bar chart shows the different modes of transport used to travel to and from
work in one European city in 1960, 1980 and 2000.

Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features and make comparisons
where relevant.

Write at least 150 words.

Sample Answer:

The bar chart shows the changing patterns of transport use in a European city during the period
from 1960 to 2000. In brief, the chart shows that the use of the car as a means of transport
dramatically increased over the period shown, while the others fell.

In detail, in 1960 the motor car was used least as a method of transport with only about 7% of
the population using this method but car use grew steadily and strongly to finally reach about
37% of the population by 2000. This was a massive 5-fold increase in use.

Over this same period, however, the popularity of walking, which had been the most popular
means of transport with 35% of the population in 1960 having it as their preferred way of getting
around, fell to 10%. Bicycle use also fell from a high of about 27% in 1960 to just 7% in 2000.

On the other hand, bus use was more erratic being popular with almost 20% of the population in
1960 and rising to a peak of about 27% in 1980 before falling back to about 18% in 2000.

You should spend about 20 minutes on this task.


The Table below shows the results of a survey that asked 6800 Scottish adults (aged 16
years and over) whether they had taken part in different cultural activities in the past 12
months.

Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features and make
comparisons where relevant.

Write at least 150 words.

Model Answer

The table illustrates the results of research undertaken in Scotland with adults aged from 16-74
to assess their involvement in a variety of cultural activities over a 12-month period. Overall, it is
evident that participation in any performance and crafts were the most popular for all age
groups.

The highest participation in any activities was seen in the 16-24 age group, with 35% and 30%
respectively doing performance and visual arts. In contrast, other activities were much lower,
particularly those computer-based, at only 10%.

Turning to the older age groups, like the under 25s, the highest participation rate seen for 25-44
years olds was in performance, though this was much lower, at only 22%. A similar rate of 22%
was evident for the most popular activity for the 45-74 age group, which was crafts. Again, the
popularity of computers was very low for all those who were 25 plus, as was interest in writing.

Taking all age groups together, it can be seen that performance and crafts were the most
popular, at over 19%, whereas cultural purchases and visual arts were slightly less popular at
16% and 15% respectively. Finally, little interest was shown in writing and computing.
