Five sentences for reporting information in IELTS Academic Writing Task 1
If, like many IELTS candidates, you find it difficult to report information from a graph, chart or table, then you may find the following IELTS Academic Writing Task 1 sentences useful to remember. (If you're not familiar with IELTS Academic Writing Task 1, you can see an example in our post 'The chart shows… (2)').
1. A useful sentence for reporting an increase or decrease in a number (in the past)
The number of _____ increased/decreased from _____ in ____ to _____ in ____ (e.g. The number of men taking full-time courses increased from just under 100 000 in 1970/71 to around 200 000 in 1990/91)
2. A useful sentence for reporting the highest or lowest percentage (in the past)
The percentage of _____ was at its highest/lowest in ____ with __ (e.g. The percentage of commuters who travelled by bus was at its highest in 1980 with over 25%)
3. A useful sentence for reporting increases or decreases in two percentages (in the past)
From ____ to ____, the percentage of _____ and _____ increased/decreased from __ to __ and __ to __ respectively (e.g. From 1960 to 2000, the percentage of commuters who cycled and walked to/from work decreased from around 27% to 7% and 35% to 10% respectively)
4. A useful sentence for comparing information (in the past or present)
There are/were _____ more _____ than _____ (e.g. There are nearly 245,000 more women aged 65 and over in the country than men)
5. A useful sentence for reported a percentage in relation to the total (in the past, present or future)
_____ accounted for / accounts for / will account for __ of _____ (e.g. People aged 60 and over will account for over 43 percent of Japan's population by 2040)
All of the example sentences above are from the IELTS writing samples on our blog and the slideshow I recommended in my post 'IELTS reading practice for the weekend'.
