Cas 1

The document provides guidance on summarizing a line graph for an IELTS writing task 1. It recommends introducing the graph by paraphrasing the title and time frame. Next, an overview stating the main trends should be given without data details. For the sample graph, the introduction states it compares Australian teenagers' fast food consumption from 1975 to 2000. The overview notes fish and chips consumption declined while pizza and hamburgers increased.

1) Introduce the Graph

You need to begin with one or two sentences that state what the IELTS writing task 1
shows. To do this, paraphrase the title of the graph, making sure you put in a time
frame if there is one.

Here is an example for the above line graph:

The line graph compares the fast food consumption of teenagers in Australia
between 1975 and 2000, a period of 25 years.
You can see this says the same thing as the title, but in a different way.

2) Give an Overview
You also need to state what the main trend or trends in the graph are. Don’t give
detail such as data here – you are just looking for something that describes what is
happening overall.

One thing that stands out in this graph is that one type of fast food fell over the
period, whilst the other two increased, so this would be a good overview.

Here is an example:

Overall, the consumption of fish and chips declined over the period, whereas
the amount of pizza and hamburgers that were eaten increased.
This covers the main changes that took place over the whole period.

You may sometimes see this overview as a conclusion. It does not matter if you put
it in the conclusion or the introduction when you do an IELTS writing task 1, but you
should provide an overview in one of these places.
