Sample Answer
A glance at the table provided reveals the distances travelled by passengers
on five kinds of vehicles in a European country over a twenty years period,
from 1995 to 2015. It is evident that there were fluctuations in the distances
travelled in different modes of transports over the given period but trains and
buses were more popular.

One particularly interesting fact is that from a mere 2 billion kilometers travel in
the airway in 1995, it rose to ten times in 2015. This shows that the air travel has
become popular in the recent years. The rail travel, meanwhile, rose gradually
by 10 billion in 2005 and reached the 60 billion mark in 2015. From the given
figure it is clear that travelling in railways was the most popular form of
travelling in the given European country. On the contrary, travelling in a bus was
more popular in the 1990s, as 56 billion km were travelled using buses, but lost
Sample Answer
The bar graph illustrates how many British citizens devoting money to
charity by various age groups in the years 1990 and 2010. Overall, it is clear
that majority of people donating money aged 36 to 65 for both years and people
aged from 18 to 25 were the least to donate money.
First and foremost, the most striking feature is that there was an increasing trend
in the proportion of British people donating money in 1990 and peaked at people
aged 36 to 50 (just above 40%), which is then followed by a gradual drop. The
proportion of people who aged over 65 giving money to charity accounted for
about 33%.
Turning to 2010, it is revealed that there was a significant rise in the percentage
of British people who donate money (approximately 6% for those aged 18 to 25
and 24% for that age group of 26 to 35). A similar trend can be observed for the
next age group and hit its topmost at about 40%for those aged 51 to 65. In
contrary, an opposite trend can be seen in the last age group (people aged over
65).
Question: 3
The graph and bar chart below show the average monthly rainfall and
temperature for one region of East Africa.
Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features,
and make comparisons where relevant.
Write at least 150 words.
The line graph and bar chart illustrate the mean rainfall and temperature in
a month for a period of a year in part of East Africa.
Overall, it is clear that there is a direct link between the average temperature
and rainfall and both of them show fluctuation throughout the 12-month period.
First of all, the most noticeable feature of the line graph is that the temperature
reaches the first topmost in March and second in October (just above 23.5C and
well over 23.0C respectively). The next striking feature of this graph is the
temperature has the lowest point in July which is approximately 20.5C. To
compare, the temperature over the time setting, it is clear that temperature in
December is lower than that in January (around 21.5C and 22.0C respectively).
Turning to the bar graph, we can see the topmost of mean rainfall of the year is
in April which is the overall highest rainfall and in November with the figure
around 275mm and 150mm respectively. The lowest rainfall of the year falls in
July with just under 25mm. Not forgetting to mention that, there is more rainfall
in the first six months of the year than months after July.
Question: 4
The bar chart below shows the percentage of unemployed graduates, aged 20-24,
in one European country over a two-year period.
Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features,
and make comparisons where relevant.
Write at least 150 words.
Interestingly, unemployed female graduate decreases from October 2008 to April
2009 continually before a dramatic increase in July 2009. A sharp rise in the
unemployment rate for both genders can be observed after July 2009 and
eventually peaked at around 23% for men and just under 15% for female in
October 2009.

Sample Answer:
The bar chart illustrates the unemployment rate among the male and female
graduates who are in the age range of 20 to 24 in Europe in the years 2008
and 2009. In general, it is clear that male graduates had a higher unemployment
rate than female graduates over the time frame.
First and foremost, from January to April 2008, a decreasing trend was detected
for both men and women. There was 10% of male graduates who were
unemployed in January 2008 and dropped slightly to about 7.5% in April and
remained constant until July 2008 compared to about 7.5% and just above 5% in
January 2008 and April 2008 respectively for women. There were the same
percentages of unemployment for both male and female in April and July 2008.
A similar trend can be seen in the percentage of unemployed graduates starting
from October 2008 to July 2009. The male graduates unemployment rate was
just over 15% in October 2008 and decline moderately to almost 12% in January
2009, and reached just over 10% in July 2009.
