WRITING IELTS TASK 1 – LESSON 1
BAR CHART AND LINE GRAPH ( TIME CHANGE )

1. The graph below shows the proportion of the population aged 65
and over between 1940 and 2040 in three different countries.
The graph presents the percentage of elderly people aged 65 and over from
1940 to 2040 in three different nations.
Overall, it is clearly seen that the proportion of the elderly in each country
increases has increased/ has been increasing throughout the period. The
most noticeable trend is of growth has been seen in Japan, where the life
expectancy is expected to rise considerably in the future.
According to the chart, there was a small growth in elderly people in Sweden
and US in the first ten years of the period. In 1940, around 9% of Americans
were aged 65 or over, compared to about 7% of Swedish people and 5% of
Japanese people. The proportions of elderly people in the USA and Sweden
rose gradually over the next 50 years, reaching just under 15% in 1990. By
contrast, the figures for Japan remained below 5% until the early 2000s.
Looking into the future, there will be a dramatic rise in the old population of
Japan between 2030 and 2040, with a jump of over 15%. By 2040, it is
predticted predicted that around 27% of the Japanese population will be 65
years old or more, while the figures for Sweden and the USA will be slightly
lower, at about 25% and 23% respectively.
2. The graph below shows the average number of UK commuters
travelling each day by car, bus or train between 1970 and 2030.
The graph illustrates the average figure of English commuters travelling daily
by car, bus or train over a period of 60 years.
Overall, it is clear that the car is has been the most popular means of
transport for UK people throughout the period. Also, while the numbers of
people who use cars and trains increases have increased gradually, the
number of bus users falls has fallen steadily.
In 1970, around 5 milion million UK people used the cars to commute in on
a daily basis, while the bus and train users were about 4 milion and 2 milion
respectively. In the year 2000, the number of those driving to work rose to 7
milion and the figure of railway passengers reached 3 milion. However, there
was a small drop of approximately 0,5 milion in the number of bus travellers.
Looking into the year of 2030, the quantity number of English who
commute by car is expected to reach nearly 9 milion, and the number of train
users is also predicted to rise, to closely 5 milion. In contrary, buses will be
predicted to become a less popular choice, with only 3 milion users.
3. The bar graph shows the global sales (in billions of dollars) of
different types of digital games between 2000 and 2006.
The bar graph illustrates the international sales (in billions of dollars) of
different kinds of digital games from 2000 to 2006.
Overall, it is obviously seen that sales of games for three out of the four
platforms increased each year, which led to a significant rise in total global
income over the period of 7 years. Sales figures for handheld games were
twice as high as those for any other platform in almost every year the most
significant/ significantly higher than other platform.
In 2000, the worldwide sales of handheld games were well under 12 billion
dollars, while console games stood nearly at 6 billion dollars and there were
no figures for mobile games and online games. Over the next three years,
the number of sales of handheld games rose by about $4 billion, but the
figure for consoles decreased by $2 billion. By In 2003, mobile games and
online games became popular, with sales reaching around $3 billion.
In the year 2006, sales of handheld, mobile and online games reached their
peaks of 17,9 and 7 billion dollars respectively. By contrast, revenue from
console games dropped to its lowest point, at around $2,5 billion.
4. The graph below gives information about international migration
to the UK, 1990-2008. Write a report for a university lecture
describing the information shown below. Make comparisons where
relevant.
The graph shows information about UK immigration, emigration and net

migration between 1999 and 2008.
Overall, it is clear that both immigration and emigration rates increased over
the period, but the figures for immigration were significantly higher. Net
migration peaked in 2004 and 2007.
In 1999, over 450,000 people came to live in the UK, while the number of
people who emigrated stood at just under 300,000. The figure for net
migration was around 160,000, and it remained at a similar level until 2003.
From 1999 to 2004, the immigration rate rose by nearly 150,000 people, but
there was a much smaller growth in emigration. Net migration peaked
approximately at 250,000 people in 2004.
After 2004, the rate of immigration remained high, but the number of people
emigrating fluctuated. Emigration went down suddenly in 2007, before
peaking at about 420,000 people in 2008. As a result, the net migration figure
grew to around 240,000 in 2007, but fell back to around 160,000 in 2008.

5. The graph below shows the changes in UK birth rate of women in
6 different age groups from 1973 to 2008.
The graph illustrates the differences in the birth rate of females of 6 age
groups in the UK over a period of 35 years from 1973 to 2008.
Overall, it is obviously seen that women who are were over 40 presented the
lowest rate of birth during the time surveyed. Additionally, the figure for
those aged between 30 and 39 increased, and the birth rate of the remaining
four age groups dropped over the 35-year period. (Nên nhắc đến đối tượng

In 1973, the number of birth per 1000 of 25-to-29 women was the highest of
all age groups, at about 140, followed by the figure for females between 20
and 25 years old. On the other hand, the rates of birth of female adults in the
30-35, under 20 and 35-39 age groups were lower, at 70%, 60% and 40%
respectively. The fertility rate of women who are over 40 accounted for the
lowest percentage of 20% at the beginning of the survey in 1973.
During the 35-year period, despite significant decreasing fluctuations, the
birth rate of females aged 25 to 29 still showed the most enormous number of
approximately 120 by the year 2008. There were steady decreases in the birth
rate of UK women between 20 and 25 as well as under 20 years old, which
resulted in the birth rates standing at about 100 and 40 respectively by 2008.
In contrary, the 35-to-39 age group experienced a remarkable increase,
especially after the year 1988, and grew by more than 20 births by the end of
the survey.
6. The graph compares changes in the Oil Production Capacity in
millions of barrels per day in six countries between 1990 and 2010.
The graph compares changes in the Oil Production Capacity in millions of

barrels per day in six different nations from 1990 to 2010.
Overall, it is clear that oil production capacity increased in almost all
countries over the period and only Qatar followed a different trend.
However, the most dramatic rise was apparently seen in Saudi Arabia, which
increased more than any of the other countries. (Câu này bằng câu đằng
trước rồi em)
In 1990, Saudi Arabia produced well over 8 millions barrels per day, which
rose significantly to a little above 12 million barrels per day in 2005 before
soaring to just over 14 million barrels per day by the year 2010. By contrast,
the lowest oil producing nation was Qatar at well under 1 million barrels per
day throughout the given years although there was a modest increase in 2000
and then it fell to a low level.
Oil production capacity in Iran went up gradually from about 3 million
barrels per day to well over 4 million barrels per day in 2010. Although the
creation of oil in UAE, Kuwait and Iraq tended to rise between 1990 and
2010, their production capacities reached under 4 million barrels per day by
the year 2010.
7. The bar chart shows the scores of teams A, B and C over
four different seasons. Summarize the information by selecting and
reporting the main features and make comparisons where relevant.
The bar chart illustrates the scores of three teams, A, B and C, in four
dissimilar seasons.
Overall, it is clear that team B scored far higher than the other two teams over
the seasons, though their score decreased as a whole over the period.
In 2002, the score of team B far exceeded that those figures of the other two
teams, standing at 82 points compared to only 10 of team C and a very low 5
of team A. Over the next two years, the points of team B decreased quite
considerably, dropping by around half to 43 by 2004, but they still remained
above the points of the other teams.
Although team A and C’s points were lower, they were rising. Team A’s
points had increased by 600% from 2002 to reach 35 points by 2004, nearly
equal to team B. Team C, meanwhile, had managed had only a small
increase over this time. In the final year, team B remained ahead of the others
as their points increased again to 55, while team A and C saw their point
scores reverse and drop to 8 and 5 respectively.
8. The graph below shows the different modes of commuter

transport used in London in 1960, 1980 and 2000.
Write a report for a university lecturer describing the information
shown. You should write at least 150 words.
The graph illustrates how people commuted to and from work over a 40-year
time period in London in three specific years 1960, 1980 and 2000.
Overall, it is obviously seen that commuters dropped the bus in favour of the
car as their chosen mode of transport over the 40 years, whereas there were
not any strong trends in the use of railway travel.
In 1960, almost 40% of commuters used the bus, which was the most popular
mode of transport in that year. However, that number had decreased to 15%
by 1980 making it the least used conveyance mode. During the same time
period, the proportion of people commuting to work by car increased from
just above 5% to approximately 38%.
Usage of the train and tube remained comparatively more stable over the 40
years. Numbers for the tube stabilized around 25%, while the train showed
slightly more variability around 23%.
