The next Writing Task 1 lesson that we practice together is the Table lesson! Do you know how to write Task 1 a complete Table? Let’s start the lesson!

We have a table as follows:

The table below gives information on consumer spending on different items in five different countries in 2002.

Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.
Write at least 150 words.

Percentage of national consumer expenditure by category – 2002

Let’s analyze and do the following work:

Sample:

The given data represents the amount of money spent by consumers in Ireland, Italy, Spain, Sweden and Turkey in three categories in the year 2002. As presented in the table data, people of those countries spent more on foods and tobaccos than they did for dresses, education and entertainment.

According to the given data, Turk people spent the highest percentage of food and tobaccos amounting one-third of their total expenses on consumer products. Irish people spent more than 28% on this category while people of Italy, Spain and Sweden spent just over 15% for food and tobaccos. For clothing and footwear, the people of these five countries spent around 5% to 9% of which Italian spent the highest percentage (9%).

Interestingly, the expenditure in leisure activities and education was much less than the amount spent on food, tobacco and dresses. The highest amount spent on education and entertainment was done by Turkish people (4.35%) and the least amount spent by the Spainish (1.98%).

PRACTICE:

Chart 5:

You should spend about 20 minutes on this task.

The chart below gives information about the number of social networking sites people used in Canada in 2014 and 2015.
Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

You should write at least 150 words.

The bar chart shows the number of social networking sites visited by internet users in Canada in 2014 and in 2015. In general, there was a growing tendency to use more than one site.

Although just over one fifth of internet users did not use any social networking sites in either of the years, the proportion in this category decreased from 22 percent in 2014 to 21 percent in 2015. In both years the highest proportion of users in any group fell into the ‘One site’ category. However, this group declined sharply from 36 percent in 2014 to 28 percent in 2015.

In contrast, the numbers who reported using two sites, three sites, four sites and five sites all grew over the period analyzed. In both years the proportion of internet users fell as the number of social networking sites increased, with only 2 percent using five sites in 2014 compared to 4 percent in 2015.

Chart 6:

You should spend about 20 minutes on this task.

The chart below shows the number of travelers using three major airports in New York City between 1995 and 2000.

Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

Write at least 150 words.

The bar chart gives information about how many people visited New York City through three major airports, over a six-year period between 1995 and 2000.

Overall, it can be seen that over the period, there was a fluctuant trend in the number of passengers who traveled via John F. Kennedy airport, while the other two airports saw an upward trend. Another interesting point is that LaGuardia airport was the most popular at the end.

Looking at the detail, the number of travelers at John F. Kennedy airport started at 26m in 1995, and then significantly increased to reach the highest point of 47m in 1997. In 1999, the figure dipped to 32m. At the last year, there was a slight growth to 44m. On the other hand, LaGuardia began at 35m in 1995, after that it rose significantly for the next three years, at 46m. In 2000, LaGuardia hit the peak point at 68m travelers.

However, if we look at Newark airport, it started at the lowest point of 16m passengers in the first year. After this point, the trend increased significantly to 42m in 1998. In the last two years it remained stable at 42m travelers.

Let’s consult and practice together. Besides, let’s practice the same topics again.
