IELTS Writing Task 1: how to describe future years
Several people have asked me how to write about future years on a graph or chart. For example, what tense should you use if the graph shows the year 2025? Try this exercise: take a description of past years, and rewrite it with future years. Past: In 1999, the proportion of people using the Internet in the USA was about 20%. The figures for Canada and Mexico were lower, at about 10% and 5% respectively. In 2005, Internet usage in both the USA and Canada rose to around 70% of the population, while the figure for Mexico reached just over 25%. Future (I've changed the years and the verbs): In 2015, the proportion of people using the Internet in the USA is expected to be about 20%. The figures for Canada and Mexico are likely to be lower, at about 10% and 5% respectively. In 2025, it is predicted that Internet usage in both the USA and Canada will rise to around 70% of the population, while the figure for Mexico should reach just over 25%. IELTS Writing Task 1: my thinking steps Today I'm going to explain my thinking process when I answer an IELTS Writing Task 1 question. We'll use this question (Cambridge IELTS 7, page 30): The table below gives information on consumer spending on different items in five different countries in 2002. Percentage of national consumer expenditure by category - 2002 Before I worry about what language to use, it's really important to understand the information, and decide how to organise it. This is what I'm thinking: 1. I know that I can write a short introduction by paraphrasing the question. 2. I look for an overall trend. I can see that the food/drinks/tobacco category has the highest percentages, and leisure/education has the lowest. 3. Now I want to write two main body paragraphs. I need to select something to say about each country. Remember, there is no rule about what information you select; everyone will do this differently. 4. I look for the highest figures in each category: I can see that Turkey has the highest figure for food/drinks/tobacco AND for education/leisure. Italy has the highest figure for clothing/footwear. 5. So, I'll write a paragraph about Turkey and Italy. 6. My final paragraph needs to talk about Ireland, Spain and Sweden. 4 7. Maybe I'll point out that Ireland has a high figure for the first category, Spain has the lowest figure for education/leisure, and Sweden has the lowest figures for the first AND second categories. 8. I don't need a conclusion because I have already mentioned a general trend in point 2. Download 177.02 Kb. Do'stlaringiz bilan baham: |
