45. Just over 50% of 16 to 24yearolds watch game shows, but this share is not as high as the share of people aged 45 and over watching game shows, at nearly 70%. Only 41% of 35 to 44yearolds watch game shows, and the share of 24 to 34yearolds is slightly / even lower at 38%.107.You should spend about 20 minutes on this task.The graph below shows the changes in food consumption by Chinese people between 1985 and 2010.Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make parisons where relevant.Write at least 150 words.Writing TipIt is best to use amount and quantity for uncountable nouns, although both are used for countable nouns as well, particularly quantity.The amount of consumption decreased in the last 25 years.AnswerThe graph shows changes in the amount of fish, salt and meat eaten per person per week in China between 1985 and 2010.From the graph we can see that people in China consumed more fish than either meat or salt throughout the period. In 1985, the consumption of fish stood at 610 grams, then increased to 700 grams in 1990. Although it dipped in 1995, it then rose steadily and reached 850 grams in 2010.In contrast, there was a consistent drop in salt consumption. The amount consumed decreased steadily from almost 500 grams per person to only 200 grams by 2010. The amount of meat consumed weekly started at about 100 grams. However, this gradually increased throughout the period. By 2010 it was at the same level as the consumption of salt.Overall, the consumption of fish rose, while the consumption of salt fell. In addition, the consumption of meat, while at a relatively low level, rose significantly during this period.108.You should spend about 20 minutes on this task.The graph below shows the population change between 1940 and 2000 in three different counties in the . state of Oregon.Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make parisons where relevant.Write at least 150 words.IELTS TipThe structure of your answer would look like this:Introduction Explain briefly in your own words what the information shows. Give more detail than the question and make parisons where appropriate.Main Body Decide how to organise your paragraphs. For example, in the model answer below, paragraph 2 is about 19401970, paragraph 3 is about 19702000 for Columbia and Yamhill, and paragraph 4 is about 19702000 for Washington. Use words such as although and however to make contrasts, and words such as likewise to introduce similarities. Always include the actual data you have been given. The final paragraph is not a conclusion in this type of task.Model answerThe graph shows the increase in population of three counties, Columbia, Yamhill and Washington in the . state of Oregon, between 1940 and 2000. In 1940, Columbia had the lowest population of the three counties, at around 25,000. This pared with about 30,000 in Yamhill and approximately 75,000 in Washington.By 1970, Columbia’s population had risen to just under 36,000. Although this appears on the graph to be a gentle increase, it is in fact an increase of approximately 50%. Yamhill’s population also rose by nearly 50% between 1940 and 1970: from 30,000 to just under 45,000. However, the greatest real increase was in Washington, where the population in 1970 had increased by approximately 75,000, to 125,000.The years 1970 to 2000 saw the populations of Columbia and Yamhill increase by approximately the same amounts that they had increased by the thirty years before. In 2000, Columbia’s population – at approximately 76,000 – was triple what it had been in 1940. Likewise, Yamhill’s population, at around 90,000, was almost triple what it was in 1940.Although Washington’s increase in population between 1940 and 1970 was large, its increase in the following thirty
