This model line graph for IELTS is estimated at
band score 9. The model answer below is for
IELTS writing task 1 academic paper. Use this
sample writing as a template for structure, key
features and language for any IELTS line
graph. There are also some tips given below to
guide you and help you understand how to
describe this type of graph.

consumption of 3 spreads from
1981 to 2007.

IELTS Line Graph Answer
The line graph illustrates the amount
of three kinds of spreads (margarine,
low fat and reduced spreads and
butter) which were consumed over 26
years from 1981 to 2007. Units are
measured in grams.
Overall, the consumption of margarine
and butter decreased over the period
given, while for low fat and reduced
spreads, it rose. At the start of the
period, butter was the most popular
spread, which was replaced by
margarine from 1991 to 2001, and
following that low fat and reduced
spreads became the most widely used
spread in the final years.
With regards to the amount of butter
used, it began at around 140 grams
and then peaked at 160 grams in 1986
before falling dramatically to about 50
grams in the last year. Likewise,
approximately 90 grams of margarine
was eaten in the first year after which
the figure fluctuated slightly and
dropped to a low of 40 grams in 2007.
On the other hand, the consumption of
low fats and reduced spreads only
started in 1996 at about 10 grams.
This figure, which reached a high of
just over 80 grams 5 years later, fell
slightly in the final years to
approximately 70 grams in 2007.
