The line graph below shows changes in the amount and type of fast food consumed by Australian teenagers from 1975 to 2000.

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

There Are Three Basic Things You Need To Structure An IELTS Writing Task 1.

1)Introduce the graph

2)Give an overview

3)Give the detail

Introduce The Graph

The line graph illustrates the amount of fast food consumed by teenagers in Australia between 1975 and 2000, a period of 25 years.

Give an Overview:

Overall, the consumption of fish and chips declined over the period, whereas the amount of pizza and hamburgers that were eaten increased.

Give the Detail:In 1975, the most popular fast food with Australian teenagers

was fish and chips, being eaten 100 times a year. This was far higher than pizza and hamburgers, which were consumed approximately 5 times a year. However, apart from a brief rise again from 1980 to 1985, the consumption of fish and chips gradually declined over the 25 year timescale to finish at just under 40 times per year.

In sharp contrast to this, teenagers ate the other two fast foods at much higher levels. Pizza consumption increased gradually until it overtook the consumption of fish and chips in 1990. It then leveled off from 1995 to 2000. The biggest rise was seen in hamburgers, increasing sharply throughout the 1970’s and 1980’s, exceeding fish and chips consumption in 1985. It finished at the same level that fish and chips began, with consumption at 100 times a year.

Bar Diagram:

The charts show information on life expectancy and average income (GNI) in six countries. Summarize the information and make comparison where relevant.

Average Income:Gross National Income (GNI):

Life Expectancy And Average Income (GNI)

The diagrams compare average life expectancies for men and women and average personal income in six very different countries around the world.

If we look at the first chart, we can see that overall, women live roughly five years longer than men in all the countries. At 85 years, women in Japan have the longest life expectancy, closely followed by Australian and German women (83 and 81 years respectively). Malaysians and Brazilians have shorter life expectancy, and people in India have the lowest, with women only expecting to live to their mid-sixties.

In chart two, we can see there is a massive difference in average incomes. Japanese, Germans and Australians all earn over $30,000 a year. The figures for Malaysia and Brazil are much lower, at around $5000. In India, the average is only a few hundred dollars.

In conclusion, it seems obvious that there is a strong link between a country’s wealth and the health of its citizens.

PIE CHART:

You should spend about 20 minutes on this task.

The pie chart shows the amount of money that a children's charity located in the USA spent and received in one year.

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

Write at least 150 words.

PIE CHART:

The pie charts show the amount of revenue and expenditures over a year of a children’s charity in the USA. Overall, it can be seen that donated food accounted for the majority of the income, while program services accounted for the most expenditure. Total revenue sources just exceeded outgoings.

In detail, donated food provided most of the revenue for the charity, at 86%. Similarly, with regard to expenditures, one category, program services, accounted for nearly all of the outgoings, at 95.8%.

The other categories were much smaller. Community contributions, which were the second largest revenue source, brought in 10.4% of overall income, and this was followed by program revenue, at 2.2%. Investment income, government grants, and other income were very small sources of revenue, accounting for only 0.8% combined.

There were only two other expenditure items, fundraising and management and general, accounting for 2.6% and 1.6% respectively. The total amount of income was $53,561,580, which was just enough to cover the expenditures of $53,224,896.

PROCESS DIAGRAM:

Task 1 Question:

The diagram shows how electricity is generated by a hydroelectric dam.

Write a 150-word report for a university lecturer explaining how the process works.

Electricity Is Generated By A Hydroelectric Dam

The diagram illustrates the basic principles of hydroelectric power. The process requires the construction of a large dam connected to a powerhouse. The dam creates a large reservoir and the powerhouse is where the electricity is generated.

First of all, water trapped in the reservoir behind the dam is forced through an intake. It then flows into a narrow chamber called a penstock, where the resulting high pressure turns a turbine. The turbine is connected to a generator in the powerhouse above, and this is where the movement of the turbine is converted into electricity. The resulting electricity leaves the powerhouse via cables that carry it over long distances to where it can be used.

It is interesting to note that a hydroelectric dam creates no harmful byproducts and relies entirely on natural forces to produce electricity. After the turbine stage, water flows out through a second channel and into a river. The process is renewable, thanks to the water cycle in nature.
