writing task 1 line graph model answer 1

Model answer The graph depicts waste recycling rates in the U.S from 1960 to 2011, in both percentage and tons The graph shows how the populations of India and China have changed since 2000 and how they will change in the future Between 1960 and 1970, the percentage of garbage being recycled annually remained relatively steady at just over 6% It then rose slightly over the next 15 years to 10.1% in 1985 In 2000, there were more people living in China than in India The number of Chinese was 1.25 billion, while India's population was about billion Between 2000 and 2010, there has been a 0.2 billion rise in the number of Indian citizens Over the same period, China's population has increased by 0.1 billion to reach over 1.35 billion On the other hand, the amount of garbage being recycled tripled during the same period, from 5.6 million tons in 1960 to 16.7 million tons in 1985 Following this sharp increase, the amount of waste material being recycled has risen significantly between 1985 and 2011 when it peaked at 86.9 million tons According to the graph, the population in India will increase more quickly than in China, and experts say that by 2030, both countries will have the same population of 1.45 billion After this, China's population is likely to fall slightly to 1.4 billion in 2050, while India's population will probably increase and reach 1.6 billion Similarly, the recycling rate continued to grow sharply from 1985 to 1995, and then at a slower rate over the next 15 years until it reached a peak of 34.7% in 2011 However, this figure is still disappointing compared to the total amount of waste being recycled each year Thus, over the 50-year period, India is going to experience steady growth in its population and it will overtake China On the other hand, China's population will peak in 2030 and then begin to fall (150 words) (173 words) https://www.ielts-exam.net/academic_writing_samples_task_1/996/ https://www.ielts-exam.net/academic_writing_samples_task_1/740/ https://www.ielts-exam.net/academic_writing_samples_task_1/1047/ Birth and death rates in New Zealand Model answer The graph shows changes in the birth and death rates in New Zealand since 1901, and forecasts trends tip until 2101 Between 1901 and the present day, the birth rate has been consistently higher than the death rate It stood at 20,000 at the start of this period and increased to a peak of 66,000 in 1961 Since then the rate has fluctuated between 65 and 50 thousand and it is expected to decline slowly to around 45,000 births by the end of the century In contrast, the death rate started below 10,000 and has increased steadily until the present time This increase is expected to be more rapid between 2021 and 2051 when the rate will probably level off at around 60,000, before dropping slightly in 2101 Overall, these opposing trends mean that the death rate will probably overtake the birth rate in around 2041 and the large gap between the two levels will be reversed in the later part of this century (164 words) https://www.ielts-exam.net/academic_writing_samples_task_1/1035/ Model answer This graph shows the kinds of activities done by old people in their spare time, covering a period from the 1980s to now in the United States We can see that generally the activities listed have been increasing in popularity amongst the elderly, with hiking increasing steadily throughout the years, and watching TV being the most popular overall In the 1980s, nearly all activities were growing in popularity The only activity which was becoming less popular over these years was going to the theatre Going to the theatre declined steeply from 50% to 30% This changed in the 1990s, and going to the theatre became more popular, whereas reading saw a dramatic drop in popularity The number of people doing all other activities increased This century, hiking, reading, going to the theatre and surfing the Internet have all been increasing in popularity However, watching TV has been decreasing in popularity Despite this, watching TV is still the second most popular activity nowadays amongst this group Most elderly people are hiking nowadays in their spare time (174 words) ...https://www.ielts-exam.net/academic _writing_ samples _task_ 1/ 1047/ Birth and death rates in New Zealand Model answer The graph shows changes in the birth and death rates in New Zealand since 19 01, and forecasts trends... 20 41 and the large gap between the two levels will be reversed in the later part of this century (16 4 words) https://www.ielts-exam.net/academic _writing_ samples _task_ 1/ 1035/ Model answer This graph. .. 210 1 Between 19 01 and the present day, the birth rate has been consistently higher than the death rate It stood at 20,000 at the start of this period and increased to a peak of 66,000 in 19 61
