Explanatory sample writing
1) Introduction
The introduction is a short paragraph
to introduce the task while
paraphrasing the given topic. (Paraphrasing includes using synonyms,
similar words, or different sentence structures that will be discussed in more
depth later in the section related to writing task 2.)
The line graph compares the percentage of using two different means of
transportation in Vancouver between 1990 and 2015.
(The “line graph ” is introduced. The verb “shows ” is paraphrased to
“compares .” The noun phrase, “modes of traveling, ” is changed to “means
of transportation. ” The phrase “from 1990 to 2015 ” is paraphrased to
“between 1990 and 2015. ”)
2) Overview
This paragraph summarizes the main features of the graph in a comparative
structure without giving details. Using the word “
overall
” at the beginning
signals the role of this paragraph.
Overall, the percentage of traveling by car had a dramatic increase
while the figure for commuting by bus significantly declined over the
period.
(“overall ” at the beginning of the paragraph signals the graph’s general
outlook. There is a general and comparative sentence describing a contrast
between the two trends; a noun phrase and a verb
phrase have helped with a
clear description.)
