Page name update

I have been receiving and reading comments about some of the essays I posted on my blog. Some were about what I need to change in my outputs, while some are negative comments about them. Well, to be honest, I always appreciate whatever people think about my work. Whether they like it or not will depend on them. I apologize if my blog's name misleads other fellow IELTS learners into thinking that my essays and posts are "perfect" or the "best". Although it is mentioned on the home page that these posts are only practice writings that I did when I was learning to write academic essays before sitting for the exam roughly 2 years ago.

As I recall, I couldn't find sample essays of sample tests that I used at that time. And because of this, I decided to make this blog and post my writings so that those who are also practicing and trying to answer the same writing tasks can have at least a resource of how other people might interpret these graphs and problems. 

Anyway, to cut this short, I have decided to update the name of my page and add the words "practice essays" in my page name to help clear things a bit. If by chance you have read and maybe will read some of the posts I made, please understand that I am NOT a native English speaker and that I am ALSO doing my best to improve my language skills, especially my writing, just like a lot of people.

Cambridge 11 Test 3 Writing Task 1

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

In general, the number of guests multiplied in seven years.   In 2010, there were a million travelers who went to the island. This total rose consistently over the years until 2015 and 2016 where it stayed at less than 3 million. However, in the last year, 2017, the number shot up to 3.5 million people.   From the graph, there were more vacationers staying on the island during most of the years.

Cambridge 15: Academic IELTS Writing Test 4: Task 1 (Pie Chart and Table)

The pie chart illustrates the percentage of what Anthropology graduates from one university did after their graduation. The table reveals the earned income they make after 5 years’ work according to three kinds of employment. Overall, in the first graph, most of the graduates worked fulltime after finishing university while the table shows that those who rendered work for 5 years earn a different range in payment in various work sectors.   According to the pie chart, among the six destinations provided, a little over half of the alumni went straight on to working fulltime. Part-time workers garnered the second place with 15%. Surprisingly, the rate of unemployed graduates came in third with 12%.
