Cambridge 12: Academic IELTS Test 5 Writing Task 1 Sample (Bar graph: Percentage of Australian men and women doing regular physical activity: 2010)
Sample essay:
The visual information represents the proportion of physically
active males and females from 15 to 65 years old and over in Australia in the
year 2010. It can be noted from the graph that women exercised more than men.
There was an evidence of a gradual increase in the number of
women who regularly worked out while men showed a significant decrease in percentage.
More than 50 percent of men from 15 to 24 exercised daily. This is
approximately 5 percent higher than women from that age group. However, almost
10 percent of males stopped working out regularly from ages 25 to 34 while
females slightly increased to almost 50 percent. This rise continued from ages
35 to 64 wherein the proportion was approximately around 52-53% then declined to
less than 50 percent.
As for the men, although they gained the largest proportion
of people doing regular physical activity in their early twenties, their
percentage saw a sudden more than 10 percent downfall from their early thirties
until they reached their lowest, 39.5 percent, from 35 to 44 years. This however,
did not last since a slow rise in the number of men exercising daily was shown
from 45 years to 65 and over.
It can also be highlighted from the bar graph that there was
a very small difference between the percentages for both genders who did daily
physical workout in the age group 65 and over. More than two-thirds of
Australian men and women were physically active from this age group in 2010.
