Cambridge 12: Academic IELTS Test 7 Writing Task 1 Sample Version 1 (Frequency of Americans eating at fast food restaurants)



Sample:

The visual information exhibits the regularity of Americans dining out at fast food restaurants from 2003 to 2013.

Looking at the data, in 2003, less than 5% of Americans eat out daily. This number is almost equal to the total number of Americans who never dine out in these places. Another highlight is that 3 out of 4 Americans preferred to eat at restaurants once a week, which gained the highest percentage among all the other categories. Surprisingly, people who visit these kinds of restaurants once or twice a month almost showed the same percentage, about 30, to the ones who eat out one time a week. In addition, an average of 12-17% of individuals opt to eat junk food a few times a year and several times a week.

Fast forward to 2013, a similar trend can be seen wherein fewer Americans choose to dine at fast food restaurants every day while the others do not at all which is around less than 5%. On the other hand, citizens who eat junk food once or twice a month showed the largest proportion with a little over 30% while Americans who dine out once a week is just approximately 3% shy. Finally, less than a quarter of citizens regularly visit fast food restaurants several times a week and a few times a year.


All in all, it can be said that, for 10 years, the pattern of how frequently Americans eat at fast food chains are somewhat similar.

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. However, it can be seen that as time went by, the carbon dioxide emitted by Englishmen decreased gradually to over 8 metric tonnes in 2007. On the other hand, a different trend can be noted in the countries Italy and Portugal where the emissions slowly rose from an initial rate of approximately 4 and 1 metric ton to about 7 and 6 metric tonnes in 4 decades. In Sweden, emissions increased to its record highest in 1977 w

Part-time workers garnered the second place with 15%. Surprisingly, the rate of unemployed graduates came in third with 12%.

Sample: The given data presents the changes in the number of guests and their levels of satisfaction during the pre- and post-renovation period of Ashdown Museum. An overview of the table shows the notable rise in the overall number of visitors who went to the museum after the year of its renovation. While the two pie charts reveal the decline of guests’ dissatisfaction and the surge of their satisfaction. According to the graphs, there was a higher number of people who seem to be unhappy with their trip to the museum during the year before Ashdown museum’s refurbishment. However, these figures changed significantly after the revamping of the building. The dissatisfaction percentage went down to an average of 50 percent. In contrast, guests’ fulfillment climbed up from 30% to 40% (satisfied) and 15% to 35% (very satisfied).
