IELTS Academic Writing Task 1 (Pie Chart Sample)

Recently, I've been doing a lot of writing practices for my personal improvement. I would often look for websites that contain writing samples to review and compare how other individuals interpret data as I am not really very confident with my skills. I should be honest to mention that I did not have a very strong foundation in this field. As a matter of fact, my IELTS writing official score was my lowest (Band 6.5)

Anyway, I found a web page that contains a lot of samples for both Academic and General test. Here's the link: http://www.ielts-writing.info/

That being said, what follows below is the most recent sample I've written during my free time. I'll also include the link to the page itself where you can also find the graph and their sample essay.

Sample essay:

The visual information compares the percentage of the number of people in Spain and Oman according to age groups in the years 2005 and 2055.

Overall, citizens aged 60+ years make up the highest proportion in both countries for both time periods while the other age groups in each country will show a different trend.

In Oman, the youngest and the oldest groups shared almost half of the country’s number of population. However, it is foreseen that there will be an almost 10% decrease in the totality of 0-14-year-olds while the eldest ones are projected to exhibit an opposite course to 57% in the next five decades. Those in the middle-aged will still be in the minority, in terms of population, despite a foreseeable 2% rise.

On the other hand, Spain, with more than two-thirds of elderly people in 2005, will reveal a noticeable decline of more than 15% after 50 years. Nonetheless, this age group will still be the largest sector in the country’s total number of citizens. Another highlight in this figure is the fact that the middle-aged Spanish individuals will display a significant growth of about 20% in the future.

Sample: The data from the line graph illustrates the carbon dioxide emissions of an average individual per metric tonnes in four European countries every decade from 1967-2007.A closer look at the data highlights the fact that among the 4 nations, the UK has the highest rate in carbon dioxide emissions per person in 40 years. In 1967, there was approximately 11 metric tonnes of carbon dioxide released by an average Englishman which was about ten times higher than the emissions made by an individual from Portugal.
