In the following pages, there are some samples for each category
focusing on their major and specific features. Note that these
designed samples are quite simple as my main intention for creating
them is to show how to structure and organize them. They also show
how to use the required language in describing trends and figures
effectively. However, candidates may face more detailed tasks on the
official IELTS test, but this should not impact paragraphing or any
other writing aspects.
Line graphs, bar charts, pie charts, and tables
As depicted below, in a line graph, trends are shown using lines, and in a
bar chart, trends are compared using bars. In a pie chart, trends are given in
percentages,
while in a table, trends are the given numbers for each
category. As mentioned earlier, these four possible
questions for writing
task 1 share quite a lot of similarities. Consequently, we take corresponding
steps in describing them. Among these categories, “line graphs” are the
easiest to describe as upward and downward trends with their fluctuations,
and plateaus are clearly shown using lines.
However, these trends and their changes
are more subtle in bar charts,
tables, and pie charts, where changes in trends are shown differently.
Understanding trends
In writing task 1, it is crucial to understand trends and figures and how they
change over a period to describe them using specific lexis for a high band
score regarding vocabulary. The following pages focus on different trends,
possible movements, and essential vocabulary in describing them.
Upward trends
Upward movements show an increase in a number, a rate, or a percentage in
a specific timeline. There is a wide diversity of nouns, verbs, and phrases to
describe these trends.
