IELTS WritingTask 1: Two Graphs

Explain how you would compare the data presented in the two graphs.

• Counting the number of data points in each graph

• Analyzing the variables, trends, scales, and patterns in each graph and considering the context and purpose of the data will help in comparing the data presented.

• Comparing the colors used in the graphs

• Looking at the font size of the titles in each graph

Describe the trends shown in the graphs and how they are related.

• Assuming the trends are random and not related

• Ignoring the trends and focusing on the colors used in the graphs

• Analyzing each graph individually and then comparing the trends across the graphs to identify similarities or differences will help in understanding how the trends are related.

• Comparing the graphs without analyzing them individually

Write about the similarities between the two graphs and their implications.

• Analyzing the paper quality, ink used, and printing method to find similarities

• Focusing on the legends, titles, and gridlines to understand the implications

• The correct answer is to compare shapes, trends, and key data points to identify similarities and understand the implications.

• Comparing colors, fonts, and labels to identify similarities

Discuss the differences in the data depicted in the graphs and their significance.

• Comparing font styles and colors in the graphs

• Analyzing variables, scales, patterns, trends, outliers, and relationships in the graphs will reveal the differences in the data and their significance.

• Identifying the paper quality used for printing the graphs

• Examining the weather conditions during the data collection

Interpret the data in the graphs and explain what conclusions can be drawn.

• The graphs are irrelevant

• The conclusions are obvious

• The correct answer would depend on the specific data and graphs provided.

• The data is inconclusive

Summarize the information presented in the two graphs in a concise manner.

• The first graph shows increasing sales over time, and the second graph shows improving profit margins.

• Both graphs display stagnant sales and profit margins.

• The first graph shows decreasing sales over time, and the second graph shows declining profit margins.

• The first graph illustrates fluctuating sales, and the second graph depicts inconsistent profit margins.

How would you compare the data trends in the two graphs and their impact?

• Analyze the colors used in the graphs to determine their impact

• Look at the font size of the labels in the graphs to understand their impact

• Compare the direction, rate of change, and similarities/differences in trends between the two graphs to understand their impact.

• Compare the paper quality on which the graphs are printed to assess their impact
