Simon考官雅思口语范文part1-word版(汇总-59页)
1) At what age did you start studying mathematics?I can't exactly remember, but it was probably in my first year at primary school when I was 5 years old. I probably learnt simple addition at that age.2) Do you like mathematics? Why / why not?I don't dislike maths, but I wouldn't say that I've ever really liked the subject either. I'm happy to do simple calculations, but my brain can't cope with the complex stuff!3) Is it necessary for everyone to learn mathematics?Yes, I think it is. We all need a basic grounding in maths so that we can do daily tasks, like managing our money, working out bills, and so on.4) Do you prefer to use a calculator when doing mathematics?It depends. I quite like exercising my brain with anything that's easy enough, but I use the calculator on my phone for anything tricky.1) Do you have a favourite number or a number that is special to you?Yes, my favourite number is... because it's the day I was born on, and it's my lucky number.2) Do any numbers have special importance in your country?Yes, certain ages are special. For example, your 18th birthday is important because it's when you are considered to become an adult.3) Are you good at remembering numbers? Why / why not?No, I'm not very good at remembering numbers. I don't think it's necessary to learn them by heart; I just save them on my phone.4) What numbers do people often have to memorise?The most important number to remember on a daily basis is the pin number for your bank card. Without this you can't pay for anything or get cash out.建议：Remember that part 1 is supposed to be easy, so you should give short, direct answers.题目1：How well do you know your next-door neighbours?I know my neighbours quite well. They're really nice people, and I always stop to talk whenever I see them. I think it's important to get on well with the people who live next door.题目2. How often do you see them?I see my neighbours at least a few times a week. We usually see each other when we're leaving for work in the morning or coming home in the evening.题目 3. What problems do people sometimes have with their neighbours?I think the most common problem is probably noise. It's difficult to live next to people who have a dog that barks at night, or who play loud music or have too many parties.Here are my sample answers for the 'chocolate' topic. Remember that your priority in speaking part 1 is to demonstrate fluency by giving answers that are short, direct and natural, without hesitating too much.1) Do you like chocolate? Why / why not?Yes, I love chocolate. I like the taste, the texture and the feeling that you get when you eat it. And it goes really well with my favourite drink, coffee.2) What type of chocolate do you prefer? Why?I prefer dark chocolate to milk chocolate, because it has a stronger taste. I also like chocolate when it's in a cake, and I love drinking hot chocolate too.3) When do you usually eat chocolate?I try not to eat too much, but I probably eat or drink something that contains chocolate every couple of days.4) Do people give chocolate as a present in your country? When?Yes, it's very common to give boxes of individual chocolates as a gift. You can give chocolates on any special occasion really: birthdays, Valentine's day, Easter, Christmas, and so on.1. Do you like cooking? Why / why not?Sometimes. I like preparing a special meal for family or friends who visit, but everyday cooking is a bit boring; it's something that has to be done, but it's not really fun.2. Who did the cooking in your family when you were a child?My mother almost always did the cooking when I was young. I don't think she trusted my father to make a nice meal.3. Do you think that it's important to know how to cook well?I'm not sure whether it's important to cook well, but I do think that everyone should know the basics. It definitely isn't healthy to rely on pre-prepared meals or fast food.4. Do you think that children should be taught cookery at school?Yes, that's probably a good idea. If all children knew how to cook a few basic, healthy meals, that would surely be a good thing.1. What’s the weather like today?It’s really freezing today. If I don’t have to take the IELTS exams, I would prefer to stay at home.2. What kind of weather do you like (best)? (Why?)Actually I prefer the cloudy day as it’s neither too hot nor too cold. And what’s more important to me is that this whether is perfect for photography as the light is soft and tender. So at this time of day, I’ll always go out with my camera to the forest parks to take photos.3. What’s the weather (usually) like in your hometown?In my hometown, as it is surrounded by mountains, the whether is quite pleasant, neither too hot nor too cold. Even in winter, the temperature is still quite mild. The weather is good almost all year round as my hometown is a tourist city and there is no any industrial pollutionout there.4. Do you like that weather (or, that kind of climate)? (Why?/Why not?)The bad points about the weather in my hometown are that it doesn’t snow as heavily as up north like Beijing. It does snow, but is just a little bit. Every time I saw children having a snowball flight or making a snowman on TV, I really envied them. It was really pity.5. What is the typical weather in China like?I believe though China is a vast country, there are four distinct seasons in most places. But unfortunately in recent years, many places in summer are becoming boiling hot. I guess the changes are primarily due to the green-house effect. So in this extreme whether, I will really prefer to work at home, and the air-conditioning is working all day long, and at night, I even sleep on the floor.6. Have there been any changes in the weather over the past few years?Yes, as Beijing is facing more and more oppressive haze, I always keep a watchful eye on the weather forecast. I installed an app in my mobile phone, and see the indicator of PM 2.5. It has been a routine for me.7. Do you always pay attention to the unusual weather?As for the unusual weather, the global warming has really become a heated topic around the world. It is caused by the greenhouse effect as the a sheer volume of carbon dioxide have been emitted into the air, preventing the atmosphere from cooling off at night. And another unusual weather, I’m afraid is the hurricane which can easily flatten thousands of homes near the coast in a short period of time.8. Would you prefer to live in a place that has just one, warm season that lasts the whole year or a place with different seasons?Well, if I were to choose between the two, I’ll probably go with the distinct seasons in each year because each season has its own merits. Whereas I will get bored if it is warm all year round.19. Do people in China play the same sports in different seasons ofthe year?No, when in spring and autumn, the temperature is neither too cold nor too hot, people in China tend to hike in the mountains, or go running. When it comes to summer, people can choose more physical activities like swimming, camping in the forests and playing balls, etc. But in winter, people believe it not suitable for outdoor exercises, so they prefer to stay at home for resting.1. What kinds of thing make you laugh?I laugh most when I'm with friends talking about funny things that have happened to us. I also like watching comedians and comedy films.2. Do you like making other people laugh?Yes, it's a nice feeling when you can make someone laugh because you can see that you've made them happy. It's great to share a funny moment with someone.3. Do you think it's important for people to laugh?Yes, of course. It's important to see the funny side of things; humourhelps us not to take life too seriously. I think that laughter is good for our health.4. Is laughing the same as feeling happy?It's not exactly the same because you can be happy without laughing, and sometimes we laugh when something bad has happened; a sense of humour can help us to cope with difficult situations.1) How much time do you spend at home?Obviously I sleep at home, but I don't spend very much time at home during the day, because I'm usually busy with work.2) Do you prefer to spend your free time at home or outside the house?During the day I prefer to be out of the house, so I like visiting family or meeting up with friends. But I do like relaxing at home in the evenings.3) What do you do when you have some free time and you're at home?I usually sit and watch some TV or a film, or I listen to some music. I also like sitting outside if the weather is nice.4) Would you like to have more spare time to spend at home in the future?No, not really. I get bored if I'm at home for too long. In the future, I imagine I'll still prefer to go out and do things rather than stay indoors.1. Are there many advertisements in your country?Yes, there are adverts everywhere in the city. You can easily see them near the subway station, along the express way and in the elevator.2. Why do you think there are so many advertisements now?The main factor is that adverts are the most efficient way for the companies to reach their end users, and also every company wants to stand out from the crowd in such fierce competition.3. How do you feel about advertisements?I’m afraid that the advertisements are really annoying in some way,and they always exaggerate the true functions of products. So I guess they are not as reliable as they seem to be.4. What kind of advertisements do you like the most?I am fond of the adverts that are well-designed and deliver the high quality contents, but that doesn’t mean I will go and buy that products.5. Do advertisements influence your choice about what to buy?No, I believe buying things totally based on adverts is unreasonable.6. Do you like advertisements on TV?I’m not into TV adverts, because I am often interrupted by the adverts when watching the TV programmes. It is really annoying.7. Do you prefer advertisements on TV or those in magazines?Well, if I were to choose between the two, I’ll probably go with the adverts in magazines because they are well-designed and I can have plenty of time to look through them, whereas the TV adverts are reallyannoying.8. Do you think adverting plays an important role in today’s world?In general, it’s a prosperous industry. The number of enterprises that pay attention to adverts is growing, and there are more students who apply to study advertisement in university.1) Have you ever collected anything as a hobby? (What?)Yes. When I was younger I used to collect keyrings. I remember that my favourite was a Lego man keyring that someone bought me as a present.2) What kinds of thing do people often like collecting?Some people collect cheap items like stamps, keyrings or toys. Others collect expensive antiques, watches, jewellery or even cars.3) Why do you think people collect certain objects?Maybe they like the constant search for a new item, or they want to remember past experiences. Others might like the feeling of organisingand presenting what they own.4) Is there anything that you would like to collect in the future?Yes. If I could afford it, I'd love to have a collection of guitars in different colours, shapes and sizes!1. Do you often do any cooking?Normally I don’t frequently cook at home on weekdays because I have no time. But on weekends, I usually cook food at home for my family.2. Do you like cooking? (Why?/Why not?)Yes, I’m quite into cooking because I believe that good dinner could guarantee our health and also I’m a foodie, I’d like to taste all kinds of tasty food. I always do some cooking in my home with my family during the weekend to enjoy the family time.3. What cooking experience have you had?Obviously, in my opinion, a fabulous cooking can’t be done withoutfresh food resources. So I always try to go to the super market early in the morning and select today’s vegetables and meat. Besides, I always put several vegetables such as carrot, bamboo shoots, pepper, tofu, along with meat to cook in order to get the balanced diet.4. Who taught you to cook?My mother is an expert at cooking, and she taught me how to cook when I graduated from university and started to live independently. She told me that the ability to cook was fairly important because good dinner could guarantee our health.5. When you were a child, did you ever help your parents to preparea meal?I remember when I was a little boy, I was used to help wash the vegetables, go out to buy some flavours, etc. I strongly recommend that children should take part in this kind of housework because it can help cultivate the hands-on abilities, a sense of achievement and even learn some table manners.1. What is your favourite food?The fish is my favourite, especially with red hot chilies, cos it is so tasty and colourful and beside fish is nutritious too. I will cook it myself at home during the weekends for my family.2. When do you usually eat that food?When I was a child, I liked the food made by my mother. She was an expert at cooking, and the fish was my favourite. I’m still fond of eating fish when I became an adult, and now I always cook it myself at home during the weekends for my family, once a week maybe.3. Is food important to you?Yes, definitely. I believe good food is very important because it is not only very tasty, but could also guarantee our health.4. What food do you usually eat?In general, I eat a lot of rice and vegetables every day. And once a week, I will cook a fish myself at home during the weekends for my family which is my favourite.5. Do you usually eat the same food every day?No, it will be boring to eat the same food every day. I also like noodles, dumpling, and sometimes I eat pizza and curry which are both delicious.6. Is there any food you don’t like?I’m really not into Japanese food because they are sometimes cold, or even are raw food, like sushi. I once bought them in the supermarket, but the taste really disgusted me.1. What sports or physical activities do you regularly do?Unfortunately I don't have time to do any sports or physical activities because of my work commitments. I'd like to find more time for regular exercise.2. Which sport or game would you like to be good at?I'd like to be good at tennis. It must be great to be able to hit the ball as hard as you can and watch it land exactly where you wanted it to.3. Do you prefer watching or playing sports?I don't watch much sport on TV and I'm not a big sports fan, so I think I would probably enjoy doing sports more than watching them.4. Do you think children should be encouraged to do more sport?Yes, I think that sport is really important for children. Sports and games teach children to play together and try their best.题目：1. Do you like (to learn about) history?2. What historical event do you find most interesting?3. Do you think history is important?4. Do you like to watch programmes on TV about history?5. Do you think you can really learn history from films and TV programmes?6. Do you think the internet is a good place to learn about history?7. Can you name a person from history who you would like to learn more about?8. Why would you like to learn more about him/her?参考答案：Yes, I am a big fan of reading historical stories. When I was a little boy, I always took some historical books from my father’s bookshelf and read the historical events. I feel that history not only can cultivate my mental development, but also give me a better picture of human society.Personally I am fond of the Battle of Red Cliffs happened in the early period of Three Kingdoms, which was a decisive battle at the end of the Han Dynasty. It was also the typical battle in Chinese history renowned for the fewer and weaker defeating the more and stronger.Yes, the main factor is that like our native language, history forms a cultural identity and keeps a unique record of country, and also we can learn the experiences from history to correct our current actions.Yes, I enjoy watching some documentaries about history on TV because I can see a lot of video materials that can not bee seen in the textbooks. I always watch them at home.I don’t feel that watching the current TV series can make you be aware of the history, you know, TV programmes are more engaging than books, however the true historical events in most of the TV series have been distorted by the producers to cater for the audience. It’s really shame as the young people will misunderstand the history by these irresponsible productions.Yes. History is full of debates so you can find both of the two sides of opinion online which will help you be aware of the true facts and think critically. I always google some engaging historical materials about the Song Dynasty, for example, to know about the truth.The people I’d like to learn about is Wu Chengen, the author of A Journey to the West. He combined the folk tales and his own imagination to write the great fairy story in the 16th century. I want to know about his personality as much as possible and I believe that his imagination is what is lack of nowadays.必备词汇：1.很喜欢：I am big fan of XX2.熏陶我的心灵发展：cultivate my mental development3.人类社会：Human society4.个人地来说：Personally5.三国时期：the period of Three Kingdoms6.文化属性：cultural identity7.纪录片(复)：documentaries8. 被曲解：have been distorted by9.误解历史：misunderstand the history10.西游记：a journey of the West1. Are there many (or, any) museums in your hometown?Not so many, actually there is only one museum in my small county about the local history. It allows the local residents to know better about their traditions and historical celebrities.2. Do you think museums are useful for visitors to your hometown/country?I go to the museum a lot, when I come to the new place, I’ll find some local museums that have interesting features. The museum I visited last time was the Guanfu Museum located in the rural area of Beijing. It is a private-owned museum featuring Chinese antiques like porcelain, furniture, jade and some paintings.3. Do you think museums are important?Museums are really important in protecting, preserving, propagating and researching numerous human treasure. Once the antiques are in the museums, they are permanently out of circulation, which means they can be seen by public.4. Do you think it’s suitable for museums to sell things to visitors?Yes, the reason is that generally, most museums are nonprofit organisations, and these goods are their large portion of income, except the tickets, and also partly because these items are closely related to the theme of the museums, which cannot be bought in most other bookstores or shops.1. Do you like visiting natural places?Yes, I am fond of getting close to the nature. Once I am free, I’d like to visit one of the forest parks around Changsha. These places are not only really perfect for physical activities, but also can help me let off steam.2. What are some well-known natural attractions in your country?There are so many natural attractions in my country, for example, the best one, in my opinion, is the Huangshan Mountain, which earns a high reputation for its magnificent natural scenery. Besides, I travel to the Inner Mongolian grasslands every year to see the vast grassland as well as the blue sky and the white cloud which can be rarely seen in Beijing.3. Have you ever gone camping?Yes, just once, but really memorable. I went to the Lingshan Mountain with my friends this year. We slept in the forest in the camps at night. It was totally dark outside, but we sang the songs loudly with others and heard the sound of rain dropping on my camp gently. It was really an interesting experience.4. How do city kids in your country have contact with nature?Cities in China usually have many parks in them so that children can visit with their parents. Most of these parks have plenty of trees, meadow, rockery and even lakes, which are good enough for children to get close to nature. Besides, on holidays, children will have opportunities to go for an outing to some natural sceneries.5.. What are the benefits of learning about nature?People can definitely benefit a lot from nature. Apart from the physical fitness, people can loose up in the natural environment and inspire their love to life. As for children, I believe getting close to nature can cultivate their natural motivations to investigation and discovery theworld around them based on their interests.1. What do you do in your spare time?Well, there are lots of things I can do if I’m free. For instance, I stay at home sometimes to read books to enjoy the leisure hours with myself, or I’ll go with my friends to do some outdoor activities such as playing football and hiking.2. Do you like outdoor activities?Yes, I’m really into outdoor activities. You know, the main factor is that I can take some physical to keep me fit, so I always go hiking or jogging if I am free.3. What outdoor activities do you most like to do?Normally I’ll go for a jogging around my house in the morning so that I can take some physical exercises while enjoying the fresh air, but if I can invite some more friends I would go for a simple football match with them because football is a sociable activities so that I can have more fun with my friends and make new friends as well.4. How often do you do that?Well, I do these physical exercises from time to time. Normally if I’m not busy with my work, I will go for a jogging around my house in the morning to take some physical exercises while enjoying the fresh air, probably four times in a week; but if I have lots of on things my hands I’ll probably focus on my work.5. What (types of) outdoor activities are popular in your country?It’s kind of hard to say but people that I know around me tend to go jogging in the morning or take a walk after dinner, but maybe for others, they probably like to take some indoor activities like swimming and yoga.1. Do you like to take photographs? (Why?)Yes, I am a big fan of photography in my spare time. I always travel around to the stunning natural scenery with my camera. I have been in the habit of it for almost 8 years. The main factor is that I can capture the precious moment in my life, such as the graduation ceremony, or the sweet moment with my girlfriend, and also I believe the photography will cultivate my mental development.2. Do you prefer to take photos yourself or to have other people take photos? (Why?)If I were to choose between the two, I’ll probably go with taking photos of others because I feel that different people have different characteristic, so the photos will be distinguishing. Whereas, I barely take a selfie because it will make me embarrassed.3. Do you prefer to take pictures of people or of scenery?Normally, I’ll probably go with the scenery to take photos because I really enjoy the marvellous natural scenery such as the seashore, sunset and twilight, but if I take my son travelling around, I’ll take photos of him to capture his happiness.4. How do you keep your photos?I store my photos both in my computer disk and Internet for backup. And besides I have a photography website running for 4 years, keeping all my premium photos there.5. Do you frame (of have you framed) any of your photos? (If yes,which?&why?)Yes, I used to print some photos of my kid to hang them in his room, which can help us memorise the warm moment we had together.6. Do you prefer to send postcards to people or to send photos that you took yourself? (Why?)Well, if I were to choose between the two, I’ll probably go with my own photos because they are unique and seeing a lot of comments from friends is really a pleasant thing. Whereas postcards are not as meaningful as photos taken by myself.1. What public holidays do you have in your country?We celebrate a lot of public festivals in my country. I am sure you know about the Spring Festival which is the most important one. In addition, we get together with our family for the Mid-Autumn Day and the National Day.2. Do people in your country celebrate Christmas?Yes, there are so many people in my country, it’s really hard to say,probably most people tend to go shopping with families or friends to take advantage of the sales the shops are offering, but personally speaking, I am afraid we don’t celebrate Christmas like the way in Western countries.3. Do you like public holidays?Yes, I am fond of holidays. The main factor is that on these days, I don’t have to work and have plenty of time travelling around to unwind myself and also I will have more consecutive time with my family.4. Which public holidays do you like the most?I believe my favourite public holiday would be the National Day because I will have at least seven days to go travelling and also it’s the best time to go around, the weather is neither too cold nor too hot, and the foliage of trees have turned yellow or red, which will give you picturesque views.5. What do other people in your country usually do on public holidays?It’s kind of hard to say but people that I know around me tend to go shopping with families or friends to take advantage of the sales the shops are offering, but maybe for others, they probably stay at home for resting.6. Do you think public holidays are important?I believe the public holidays are rather important and there should be more of them in my country. The main factor is that people really need unwind themselves without any distractions after tiring work and also public holidays can dramatically boost consumption as the goods will be sold at a discount during these days.1. Do you like science?I love science so much because it can explain everything in life. It allows me to know where things come from and how we act, why roses are red, how airplanes fly, and so much more! Besides, it is never ending, which means that there is always something new to discover because the topic of science is so huge.2. What science have you studied (or learned)?I have studied several science in the middle school and university, such as maths, physics, chemistry, biology, geography and computer science. I found most of them were very challenging and thought-provoking.3.Is your work related to science?Yes, I’m an IT engineer now so I think it’s belong to the computer science. I learned lots of them from the university lessons.4. What’s the most interesting (part of) science to you?I like physics better than any other science because it makes me feel ignorant and it has helped me realize how big and interesting the universe is, how relative our reality is, how small we are and how many questions there are unanswered. I also adore the fact that I feel like a kid when I learn new stuff, for me, it is like opening a Christmas present because you don’t expect what’s coming.1. What’s your favourite season?I guess the autumn is the best time to travel. As it is neither too hot nor too cold, people will feel comfortable to go out. Besides, as the。

然后：①大作文：Simon的一篇自编书籍《idea books for IELTS topics》总结了雅思作文24个topic，关于家庭，政府，教育之类的各种话题素材，每个话题都给出了简洁精辟的idea，这些话题一定要一遍遍的过，亲测非常有效！我这次考的题目是“男人和女人之间对家庭和工作有各自分工”，我用的就是他给的Gender role（性别角色）这个topic里的观点。
此外，我分享的资料里面还有他的范文，我希望大家在读他的范文的时候不要去死记硬背，要去看里面可以模仿和运用的词汇和短语（比如“持续增长”这个词，可以用growing代替continues to increase），Simon的表达和用词非常地道，这些词汇都是可以用来学习在写作里面是要加分的哦！他还有28篇流传很久的经典范文，涵盖了几乎所有的题型，我建议是先不要看范文自己对着题目先写，最后在用范文对比看自己的薄弱点在哪里。
切记不要忘记了他的素材技巧书的24个话题，写的时候去翻前面提到的Simon的idea，看过idea之后再去写，你会发现和自己之前比起来有质的飞跃。
准备一个专门的作文本，每次自己写完之后对照Simon写的把自己的句型和词汇用的不好的都记下来，等复习的时候可以及时发现自己的缺点。
当然我们有时候很难完全自己发现问题，可以去找专门的雅思老师给你修改作文，不是说每篇都得改，你可以根据个人情况自己决定。
浪费是必不可少的英语作文
浪费是必不可少的英语作文Waste: An Inevitable Component of ProgressIn the grand tapestry of human endeavor, waste is often seen as a negative byproduct, a sign of inefficiency or excess. However, when examined through a different lens, waste can be understood as an essential element in the process of innovation, learning, and ultimately, progress. This essay will explore the paradoxical role of waste in the journey towards advancement.Firstly, waste in the context of resource usage is a catalyst for innovation. When resources are scarce, the need to conserve and optimize becomes paramount. This necessity drives the development of new technologies and methods that can make better use of what is available. For instance, the rise in electronic waste has spurred the creation ofrecycling programs and the development of more sustainable materials for electronics.Secondly, waste can also refer to the process of trial and error, which is fundamental to learning and discovery. In scientific research, many experiments result in failure, but these 'wasted' efforts are crucial for understanding what does not work, thereby guiding the path to success. The same principle applies to education, where students often make mistakes that are invaluable for their intellectual growth.Moreover, waste can be a measure of abundance and choice, which are indicators of a thriving society. In a world where every item is precious and scarce, there is little room for diversity and personal preference. The ability to discard items that do not meet our needs or desires is a sign of a society that has the luxury of options and the freedom to make choices.However, it is important to recognize the limits of waste. While waste can be a necessary component of progress, it becomes problematic when it exceeds sustainable levels or when it is the result of thoughtless consumption. The key is to find a balance where waste is minimized without stifling creativity, innovation, and the freedom of choice.In conclusion, waste is not merely a sign of extravagance or carelessness. It is a complex phenomenon that can be both a symptom of societal progress and a driver of it. By understanding and managing waste responsibly, we can continue to advance without compromising the health of our planet or the well-being of future generations.。
Simon雅思小作文真题范文 Task 1： 'coffee and bananas' table
题目：The tables below give information about sales of Fairtrade*-labelled coffee and bananas in 1999 and 2004 in five European countries.*Fairtrade: a category of products for which farmers from developing countries have been paid an officially agreed fair price.范文：The tables show the amount of money spent on Fairtrade coffee and bananas in two separate years in the UK, Switzerland, Denmark, Belgium and Sweden.It is clear that sales of Fairtrade coffee rose in all five European countries from 1999 to 2004, but sales of Fairtrade bananas only went up in three out of the five countries. Overall, the UK saw by far the highest levels of spending on the two products.In 1999, Switzerland had the highest sales of Fairtrade coffee, at 3 million, while revenue from Fairtrade bananas was highest in the UK, at 15 million. By 2004, however, sales of Fairtrade coffee in the UK had risen to 20 million, and this was over three times higher than Switzerland’s sales figure for Fairtrade coffee in that year. The year 2004 also saw dramatic increases in the money spent on Fairtrade bananas in the UK and Switzerland, with revenues rising by 32 million and 4.5 million respectively.Sales of the two Fairtrade products were far lower in Denmark, Belgium and Sweden. Small increases in sales of Fairtrade coffee can be seen, but revenue remained at2 million or below in all three countries in both years. Finally, it is noticeable that the money spent on Fairtrade bananas actually fell in Belgium and Sweden.。
前考官Simon 篇雅思小作文范文
前考官simon：34篇雅思小作文范文由雅思达人预测哥整理发布IELTS Writing Task 1: bar chart sample answer题目：The chart below shows the total number of minutes (in billions) of telephone calls in the UK, divided into three categories, from 1995-2002.Here's my suggested outline for a 4-paragraph report:Introduction: rewrite the question statement in your own words.Overview: point out which category was highest in each year, which was lowest, and which saw the biggest changes.Details: compare the 3 categories in 1995, then say what happened up until 1999.Details: notice what happened to local calls from 1999 onwards, and contrast this with the other 2 categories. Finish with a comparison of the figures in 2002.范文：The bar chart compares the amount of time spent by people in the UK on three different types of phone call between 1995 and 2002.It is clear that calls made via local, fixed lines were the most popular type, in terms of overall usage, throughout the period shown. The lowest figures on the chart are for mobile calls, but this category also saw the most dramatic increase in user minutes.In 1995, people in the UK used fixed lines for a total of just over 70 billion minutes for local calls, and about half of that amount of time for national or international calls. By contrast, mobile phones were only used for around 4 billion minutes. Over the following four years, the figures for all three types of phone call increased steadily.By 1999, the amount of time spent on local calls using landlines had reached a peak at 90 billion minutes. Subsequently, the figure for this category fell, but the rise in the other two types of phone call continued. In 2002, the number of minutes of national / international landline calls passed 60 billion, while the figure for mobiles rose to around 45 billion minutes.(197 words, band 9)IELTS Writing Task 1: 'living alone' chartsThe bar chart below shows the proportions of English men and women of different ages who were living alone in 2011. The pie chart compares the numbers of bedrooms in these one-person households.Living alone in England by age and gender, 2011Number of bedrooms in one-person households (England, 2011)范文：The two charts give information about single-occupant households in England in the year 2011. The bar chart compares figures for occupants' age and gender, and the pie chart shows data about the number of bedrooms in these homes.Overall, females made up a higher proportion of people living alone than males, and this difference is particularly noticeable in the older age categories. We can also see that the most common number of bedrooms in a single-occupant home was two.A significant majority of the people aged 65 or over who were living alone in England in 2011 were female. Women made up around 72% of single occupants aged 75 to 84, and 76% of those aged 85 or over. By contrast, among younger adults the figures for males were higher. For example, in the 35-49 age category, men accounted for nearly 65% of people living alone.In the same year, 35.4% of one-person households in England had two bedrooms, while one-bedroom and three-bedroom homes accounted for 28% and 29.8% of the total. Under 7% of single-occupant homes had four or more bedrooms.(189 words, band 9)Tip:Notice that I was forced to leave out some of the information from the bar chart. This is normal when you only have 20 minutes; examiners expect you to select some key figures, not to try to include everything.IELTS Writing Task 1: 'coffee and bananas' table题目：The tables below give information about sales of Fairtrade*-labelled coffee and bananas in 1999 and 2004 in five European countries.*Fairtrade: a category of products for which farmers from developing countries have been paid an officially agreed fair price.范文：The tables show the amount of money spent on Fairtrade coffee and bananas in two separate years in the UK, Switzerland, Denmark, Belgium and Sweden.It is clear that sales of Fairtrade coffee rose in all five European countries from 1999 to 2004, but sales of Fairtrade bananas only went up in three out of the five countries. Overall, the UK saw by far the highest levels of spending on the two products.In 1999, Switzerland had the highest sales of Fairtrade coffee, at €3 million, while revenue from Fairtrade bananas was highest in the UK, at €15 million. By 2004, however, sales of Fairtrade coffee in the UK had risen to €20 million, and this was over three times higher than Switzerland’s sales figure for Fairtrade coffee in that year. The year 2004 also saw dramatic increases in the money spent on Fairtrade bananas in the UK and Switzerland, with revenues rising by €32 million and €4.5 million respectively.Sales of the two Fairtrade products were far lower in Denmark, Belgium and Sweden. Small increases in sales of Fairtrade coffee can be seen, but revenue remained at €2 million or below in all three countries in both years. Finally, it is noticeable that the money spent on Fairtrade bananas actually fell in Belgium and Sweden.IELTS Writing Task 1: 'school buildings' answer 题目：The diagrams below show the site of a school in 2004 and the plan for changes to the school site in 2024.范文：The two pictures compare the layout of a school as it was in the year 2004 with a proposed site design for the year 2024.It is clear that the main change for 2024 involves the addition of a new school building. The school will then be able to accommodate a considerably larger number of students.In 2004, there were 600 pupils attending the school, and the two school buildings were separated by a path running from the main entrance to the sports field. By 2024, it is expected that there will be 1000 pupils, and a third building will have been constructed. Furthermore, the plan is to join the two original buildings together, creating a shorter path that links the buildings only.As the third building and a second car park will be built on the site of the original sports field, a new, smaller sports field will need to be laid. A new road will also be built from the main entrance to the second car park. Finally, no changes will be made to the main entrance and original car park.(183 words, band 9)IELTS Writing Task 1: 'age distribution' answer The charts below compare the age structure of the populations of France and India in 1984.The two charts compare the populations of France and India in terms of age distribution by gender in the year 1984.It is clear that the population of India was younger than that of France in 1984, with a noticeably larger proportion of people aged under 20. France, on the other hand, had a significantly larger percentage of elderly inhabitants.In India, close to 14% of people were aged 5 or under, and each five-year age bracket above this contained an increasingly smaller proportion of the population. France’s population, by contrast, was more evenly distributed across the age ranges, with similar figures (around 7% to 8% of all people) for each five-year cohort between the ages of 0 and 40. Somewhere between 10% and 15% of all French people were aged 70 or older, but the equivalent figure for India was only 2%.Looking more closely at gender, there was a noticeably higher proportion of French women than men in every cohort from age 50 upwards. For example, almost 3% of French 70- to 75-year-olds were women, while just under 2% were men. No significant gender differences can be seen on the Indian population chart.(199 words, band 9)IELTS Writing Task 1: pie chart answerThe pie charts below show how dangerous waste products are dealt with in three countries.范文：The charts compare Korea, Sweden and the UK in terms of the methods used in each country to dispose of harmful waste.It is clear that in both the UK and Sweden, the majority of dangerous waste products are buried underground. By contrast, most hazardous materials in the Republic of Korea are recycled.Looking at the information in more detail, we can see that 82% of the UK’s dangerous waste is put into landfill sites. This disposal technique is used for 55% of the harmful waste in Sweden and only 22% of similar waste in Korea. The latter country recycles 69% of hazardous materials, which is far more than the other two nations.While 25% of Sweden's dangerous waste is recycled, the UK does not recycle at all. Instead, it dumps waste at sea or treats it chemically. These two methods are not employed in Korea or Sweden, which favour incineration for 9% and 20% of dangerous waste respectively.(159 words, band 9)IELTS Writing Task 1: 'flood diagram' answer The diagrams below show how houses can be protected in areas which are prone to flooding.Here's my full band 9 report:The diagrams compare two different methods of defence for homes which are at risk of being flooded.The key difference between the diagrams is that they show flood protection with and without a stopbank. In either case, the at-risk home is raised on stilts above ground level.The first diagram shows how a stopbank acts as a flood barrier to stop river water from flooding homes. The stopbank is a small mound of land next to the river that is higher than the 100-year flood level, and prevents the river from bursting its banks. Nearby houses can be built on stilts to prevent flooding from rainwater, and a floodgate beneath the stopbank can be opened to allow this ‘ponding’ to drain off into the river.When there is no stopbank, as shown in the second diagram, there will be nothing to stop the river from flooding. In this case, the solution is to put buildings on stilts. The height of the stilts is measured so that the floor of the house is 300mm above the 100-year flood level. This measurement is called the ‘freeboard’.IELTS Writing Task 1: 'waste table' essayThe table below shows the amount of waste production (in millions of tonnes) in six different countries over a twenty-year period.The chart compares the amounts of waste that were produced in six countries in the years 1980, 1990 and 2000.In each of these years, the US produced more waste than Ireland, Japan, Korea, Poland and Portugal combined. It is also noticeable that Korea was the only country that managed to reduce its waste output by the year 2000.Between 1980 and 2000, waste production in the US rose from 131 to 192 million tonnes, and rising trends were also seen in Japan, Poland and Portugal. Japan’s waste output increased from 28 to 53 million tonnes, while Poland and Portugal saw waste totals increase from 4 to 6.6 and from 2 to 5 million tonnes respectively.The trends for Ireland and Korea were noticeably different from those described above. In Ireland, waste production increased more than eightfold, from only 0.6 million tonnes in 1980 to 5 million tonnes in 2000. Korea, by contrast, cut its waste output by 12 million tonnes between 1990 and 2000.IELTS Writing Task 1: table essayThe table below shows changes in the numbers of residents cycling to work in different areas of the UK between 2001 and 2011The table compares the numbers of people who cycled to work in twelve areas of the UK in the years 2001 and 2011.Overall, the number of UK commuters who travelled to work by bicycle rose considerably over the 10-year period. Inner London had by far the highest number of cycling commuters in both years.In 2001, well over 43 thousand residents of inner London commuted by bicycle, and this figure rose to more than 106 thousand in 2011, an increase of 144%. By contrast, although outer London had the second highest number of cycling commuters in each year, the percentage change, at only 45%, was the lowest of the twelve areas shown in the table.Brighton and Hove saw the second biggest increase (109%) in the number of residents cycling to work, but Bristol was the UK’s second city in terms of total numbers of cycling commuters, with 8,108 in 2001 and 15,768 in 2011. Figures for the other eight areas were below the 10 thousand mark in both years.(172 words, band 9)IELTS Writing Task 1: process diagramThe diagram below shows how solar panels can be used to provide electricity for domestic use.The picture illustrates the process of producing electricity in a home using solar panels.It is clear that there are five distinct stages in this process, beginning with the capture of energy from sunlight. The final two steps show how domestic electricity is connected to the externalpower supply.At the first stage in the process, solar panels on the roof of a normal house take energy from the sun and convert it into DC current. Next, this current is passed to an inverter, which changes it to AC current and regulates the supply of electricity. At stage three, electricity is supplied to the home from an electrical panel.At the fourth step shown on the diagram, a utility meter in the home is responsible for sending any extra electric power outside the house into the grid. Finally, if the solar panels do not provide enough energy for the household, electricity will flow from the utility grid into the home through the meter.Note:I've underlined examples of the two language features that make process diagram descriptions special: 'steps' language, and passive verbs.IELTS Writing Task 1: bar chartThe bar graph shows the global sales (in billions of dollars) of different types of digital games between 2000 and 2006.The bar chart compares the turnover in dollars from sales of video games for four different platforms, namely mobile phones, online, consoles and handheld devices, from 2000 to 2006.It is clear that sales of games for three out of the four platforms rose each year, leading to a significant rise in total global turnover over the 7-year period. Sales figures for handheld games were at least twice as high as those for any other platform in almost every year.In 2000, worldwide sales of handheld games stood at around $11 billion, while console games earned just under $6 billion. No figures are given for mobile or online games in that year. Overthe next 3 years, sales of handheld video games rose by about $4 billion, but the figure for consoles decreased by $2 billion. Mobile phone and online games started to become popular, with sales reaching around $3 billion in 2003.In 2006, sales of handheld, online and mobile games reached peaks of 17, 9 and 7 billion dollars respectively. By contrast, turnover from console games dropped to its lowest point, at around $2.5 billion.IELTS Writing Task 1: map essayThe map shows the growth of a village called Chorleywood between 1868 and 1994.It is clear that the village grew as the transport infrastructure was improved. Four periods of development are shown on the map, and each of the populated areas is near to the main roads, the railway or the motorway.From 1868 to 1883, Chorleywood covered a small area next to one of the main roads. Chorleywood Park and Golf Course is now located next to this original village area. The village grew along the main road to the south between 1883 and 1922, and in 1909 a railway line was built crossing this area from west to east. Chorleywood station is in this part of the village.The expansion of Chorleywood continued to the east and west alongside the railway line until1970. At that time, a motorway was built to the east of the village, and from 1970 to 1994, further development of the village took place around motorway intersections with the railway and one of the main roads.IELTS Writing Task 1: flow chart essayThe chart below shows the process of waste paper recycling.The flow chart shows how waste paper is recycled. It is clear that there are six distinct stages in this process, from the initial collection of waste paper to the eventual production of usable paper.At the first stage in the paper recycling process, waste paper is collected either from paper banks, where members of the public leave their used paper, or directly from businesses. This paper is then sorted by hand and separated according to its grade, with any paper that is not suitable for recycling being removed. Next, the graded paper is transported to a paper mill.Stages four and five of the process both involve cleaning. The paper is cleaned and pulped, and foreign objects such as staples are taken out. Following this, all remnants of ink and glue are removed from the paper at the de-inking stage. Finally, the pulp can be processed in a paper making machine, which makes the end product: usable paper.(160 words, band 9)Note: I joined the introduction and overview together because they were both short. Try to analyse the essay - why is it worth band 9?IELTS Writing Task 1: stacked bar chart essay The chart below shows the total number of Olympic medals won by twelve different countries.The bar chart compares twelve countries in terms of the overall number of medals that they have won at the Olympic Games.It is clear that the USA is by far the most successful Olympic medal winning nation. It is also noticeable that the figures for gold, silver and bronze medals won by any particular country tend to be fairly similar.The USA has won a total of around 2,300 Olympic medals, including approximately 900 gold medals, 750 silver and 650 bronze. In second place on the all-time medals chart is the Soviet Union, with just over 1,000 medals. Again, the number of gold medals won by this country is slightly higher than the number of silver or bronze medals.Only four other countries - the UK, France, Germany and Italy - have won more than 500 Olympic medals, all with similar proportions of each medal colour. Apart from the USA and the Soviet Union, China is the only other country with a noticeably higher proportion of gold medals (about 200) compared to silver and bronze (about 100 each).(178 words, band 9)IELTS Writing Task 1: mobile phones essay范文：The table compares the percentages of people using different functions of their mobile phones between 2006 and 2010. Throughout the period shown, the main reason why people used their mobile phones was to make calls. However, there was a marked increase in the popularity of other mobile phone features, particularly the Internet search feature.In 2006, 100% of mobile phone owners used their phones to make calls, while the next most popular functions were text messaging (73%) and taking photos (66%). By contrast, less than 20% of owners played games or music on their phones, and there were no figures for users doing Internet searches or recording video.Over the following 4 years, there was relatively little change in the figures for the top three mobile phone features. However, the percentage of people using their phones to access the Internet jumped to 41% in 2008 and then to 73% in 2010. There was also a significant rise in the use of mobiles to play games and to record video, with figures reaching 41% and 35% respectively in 2010.Note:The above essay isn't perfect, but it's still good enough for a band 9. You are not expected to write a masterpiece in only 20 minutes.IELTS Writing Task 1: line graph essayThe line graph compares average yearly spending by Americans on mobile and landline phone services from 2001 to 2010.It is clear that spending on landline phones fell steadily over the 10-year period, while mobile phone expenditure rose quickly. The year 2006 marks the point at which expenditure on mobile services overtook that for residential phone services.In 2001, US consumers spent an average of nearly $700 on residential phone services, compared to only around $200 on cell phone services. Over the following five years, average yearly spending on landlines dropped by nearly $200. By contrast, expenditure on mobiles rose by approximately $300.In the year 2006, the average American paid out the same amount of money on both types of phone service, spending just over $500 on each. By 2010, expenditure on mobile phones had reached around $750, while the figure for spending on residential services had fallen to just over half this amount.(162 words, band 9)IELTS Writing Task 1: life cycle essayThe diagram shows the life cycle of the honey bee. Two things to consider are:how to summarise the diagram before describing the stages in detailwhether to use active or passive verb formsThe diagram illustrates the various stages in the life of a honey bee. We can see that the complete life cycle lasts between 34 and 36 days. It is also noticeable that there are five main stages in the development of the honey bee, from egg to mature adult insect.The life cycle of the honey bee begins when the female adult lays an egg; the female typically lays one or two eggs every 3 days. Between 9 and 10 days later, each egg hatches and the immature insect, or nymph, appears.During the third stage of the life cycle, the nymph grows in size and sheds its skin three times. This moulting first takes place 5 days after the egg hatches, then 7 days later, and again another 9 days later. After a total of 30 to 31 days from the start of the cycle, the young adult honey bee emerges from its final moulting stage, and in the space of only 4 days it reaches full maturity. (169 words, band 9)IELTS Writing Task 1: climate essayThe climograph below shows average monthly temperatures and rainfall in the city of Kolkata.The chart compares average figures for temperature and precipitation over the course of a calendar year in Kolkata.It is noticeable that monthly figures for precipitation in Kolkata vary considerably, whereas monthly temperatures remain relatively stable. Rainfall is highest from July to August, while temperatures are highest in April and May.Between the months of January and May, average temperatures in Kolkata rise from their lowest point at around 20°C to a peak of just over 30°C. Average rainfall in the city also rises over the same period, from approximately 20mm of rain in January to 100mm in May.While temperatures stay roughly the same for the next four months, the amount of rainfall more than doubles between May and June. Figures for precipitation remain above 250mm from June to September, peaking at around 330mm in July. The final three months of the year see a dramatic fall in precipitation, to a low of about 10mm in December, and a steady drop in temperatures back to the January average.(173 words, band 9)IELTS Writing Task 1: full essay about 2 bar chartsThe bar charts compare students of different ages in terms of why they are studying and whether they are supported by an employer.It is clear that the proportion of students who study for career purposes is far higher among the younger age groups, while the oldest students are more likely to study for interest. Employer support is more commonly given to younger students.Around 80% of students aged under 26 study to further their careers, whereas only 10% study purely out of interest. The gap between these two proportions narrows as students get older, and the figures for those in their forties are the same, at about 40%. Students aged over 49 overwhelmingly study for interest (70%) rather than for professional reasons (less than 20%).Just over 60% of students aged under 26 are supported by their employers. By contrast, the 30-39 age group is the most self-sufficient, with only 30% being given time off and help with fees. The figures rise slightly for students in their forties and for those aged 50 or more.(178 words, band 9)IELTS Writing Task 1: 'chart without years' essayThe chart below shows numbers of incidents and injuries per 100 million passenger miles travelled (PMT) by transportation type in 2002.The bar chart compares the number of incidents and injuries for every 100 million passenger miles travelled on five different types of public transport in 2002.It is clear that the most incidents and injuries took place on demand-response vehicles. By contrast, commuter rail services recorded by far the lowest figures.A total of 225 incidents and 173 injuries, per 100 million passenger miles travelled, took place on demand-response transport services. These figures were nearly three times as high as those for the second highest category, bus services. There were 76 incidents and 66 people were injured on buses.Rail services experienced fewer problems. The number of incidents on light rail trains equalled the figure recorded for buses, but there were significantly fewer injuries, at only 39. Heavy rail services saw lower numbers of such events than light rail services, but commuter rail passengers were even less likely to experience problems. In fact, only 20 incidents and 17 injuries occurred on commuter trains.(165 words, band 9)IELTS Writing Task 1: graph showing future yearsThe graph below shows the proportion of the population aged 65 and over between 1940 and 2040 in three different countries.The line graph compares the percentage of people aged 65 or more in three countries over a period of 100 years.It is clear that the proportion of elderly people increases in each country between 1940 and 2040. Japan is expected to see the most dramatic changes in its elderly population.In 1940, around 9% of Americans were aged 65 or over, compared to about 7% of Swedish people and 5% of Japanese people. The proportions of elderly people in the USA and Sweden rose gradually over the next 50 years, reaching just under 15% in 1990. By contrast, the figures for Japan remained below 5% until the early 2000s.Looking into the future, a sudden increase in the percentage of elderly people is predicted for Japan, with a jump of over 15% in just 10 years from 2030 to 2040. By 2040, it is thought that around 27% of the Japanese population will be 65 years old or more, while the figures for Sweden and the USA will be slightly lower, at about 25% and 23% respectively.(178 words, band 9)IELTS Writing Task 1: graph showing future yearsThe graph below shows the proportion of the population aged 65 and over between 1940 and 2040 in three different countries.The line graph compares the percentage of people aged 65 or more in three countries over a period of 100 years.It is clear that the proportion of elderly people increases in each country between 1940 and 2040.

On the other hand, the leisure/education category has the lowest percentages in the table.Out of the five countries, consumer spending on food, drinks and tobacco was noticeably higher in Turkey, at 32.14%, and Ireland, at nearly 29%. The proportion of spending on leisure and education was also highest in Turkey, at 4.35%, while expenditure on clothing and footwear was significantly higher in Italy, at 9%, than in any of the other countries.It can be seen that Sweden had the lowest percentages of national consumer expenditure for food/drinks/tobacco and for clothing/footwear, at nearly 16% and just over 5% respectively.

雅思小作文垃圾处理方式范文英文回答：Waste Management Practices for a Sustainable Environment.Waste management plays a pivotal role in safeguarding our planet's ecological balance. By adopting responsible waste disposal practices, we can effectively mitigate the detrimental impacts of waste accumulation on human health, terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, and the overall well-being of our communities.Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle.The fundamental principles of waste management emphasize reducing waste production, reusing materials, and recycling recyclable items. By adopting a minimalist lifestyle, we can substantially minimize the amount of waste generated. Reusing items such as shopping bags,containers, and clothing extends their lifespan, reducing the need for new production. Recycling processes, such as paper, plastic, metal, and glass recycling, recover valuable materials from waste, conserving natural resources and reducing waste volumes.Composting and Biodegradable Waste.Organic waste, such as food scraps, yard trimmings, and paper waste, can be composted to create a nutrient-rich natural fertilizer for gardens and agricultural purposes. Composting diverts biodegradable waste from landfills, reducing methane emissions and improving soil health. Additionally, biodegradable packaging materials, such as cornstarch-based plastics, can further reduce the environmental footprint of waste management.Waste-to-Energy Technologies.Advanced waste-to-energy technologies, such as incineration and gasification, can recover energy from waste. By burning waste in controlled environments, theseprocesses generate electricity or heat, reducing the need for fossil fuel consumption. However, they also require careful emission control measures to minimize pollutants released into the atmosphere.Landfill Management and Methane Capture.Despite our efforts to reduce waste, landfills remain a necessary component of waste management systems. Modern landfills are designed to minimize environmental impacts by employing liners, leachate collection systems, and methane capture technologies. Methane, a potent greenhouse gas, is collected from landfills and utilized for energy production or converted into less harmful carbon dioxide.Extended Producer Responsibility.Extended producer responsibility (EPR) schemes shift the responsibility for waste management beyond manufacturers and consumers. Producers are held accountable for the entire lifecycle of their products, including end-of-life disposal. EPR programs incentivize eco-friendlypackaging, product design, and waste recovery systems, promoting a more sustainable circular economy.Education and Awareness.Educating the public about responsible waste disposal practices is crucial for fostering a culture of sustainability. Community outreach programs, school initiatives, and media campaigns can raise awareness about waste reduction, recycling, and composting. By empowering individuals with knowledge and resources, we can collectively contribute to more sustainable waste management practices.中文回答：垃圾处理方式之可持续环境。

By contrast, insurance was the smallest cost in each year.In 1981, 40% of the school’s budget went on teach ers’ salaries. This figure rose to 50% in 1991, but fell again by 5% in 2001. The proportion of spending on other workers’ wages fell steadily over the 20-year period, from 28% of the budget in 1981 to only 15% in 2001.Expenditure on insurance stood at only 2% of the total in 1981, but reached 8% in 2001. Finally, the percentages for resources and furniture/equipment fluctuated. The figure for resources was highest in 1991, at 20%, and the proportion of spending on furniture and equipment reached its peak in 2001, at 23%.Cambridge IELTS book 7, page 101:The pie charts compare the amount of electricity produced using five different sources of fuel in two countries over two separate years.Total electricity production increased dramatically from 1980 to 2000 in both Australia and France. While the totals for both countries were similar, there were big differences in the fuel sources used.Coal was used to produce 50 of the total 100 units of electricity in Australia in 1980, rising to 130 out of 170 units in 2000. By contrast, nuclear power became the most important fuel source in France in 2000, producing almost 75% of the country’s electricity.Australia depended on hydro power for just under 25% of its electricity in both years, but the amount of electricity produced using this type of power fell from 5 to only 2 units in France. Oil, on the other hand, remained a relatively important fuel source in France, but its use declined in Australia. Both countries relied on natural gas for electricity production significantly more in 1980 than in 2000.(170 words)BARThe bar charts compare students of different ages in terms of why they are studying and whether they are supported by an employer.It is clear that the proportion of students who study for career purposes is far higher among the younger age groups, while the oldest students are more likely to study for interest. Employer support is more commonly given to younger students.Around 80% of students aged under 26 study to further their careers, whereas only 10% study purely out of interest. The gap between these two proportions narrows as students get older, and the figures for those in their forties are the same, at about 40%. Students aged over 49 overwhelmingly study for interest (70%) rather than for professional reasons (less than 20%). Just over 60% of students aged under 26 are supported by their employers. By contrast, the 30-39 age group is the most self-sufficient, with only 30% being given time off and help with fees. The figures rise slightly for students in their forties and for those aged 50 or more.The bar chart compares the number of incidents and injuries for every 100 million passenger miles travelled on five different types of public transport in 2002.It is clear that the most incidents and injuries took place on demand-response vehicles. By contrast, commuter rail services recorded by far the lowest figures.A total of 225 incidents and 173 injuries, per 100 million passenger miles travelled, took place on demand-response transport services. These figures were nearly three times as high as those for the second highest category, bus services. There were 76 incidents and 66 people were injured on buses.Rail services experienced fewer problems. The number of incidents on light rail trains equalled the figure recorded for buses, but there were significantly fewer injuries, at only 39. Heavy rail services saw lower numbers of such events than light rail services, but commuter rail passengers were even less likely to experience problems. In fact, only 20 incidents and 17 injuries occurred on commuter trains.The chart below shows information about changes in average house prices in five different cities between 1990 and 2002 compared with the average house prices in 1989.The bar chart compares the cost of an average house in five major cities over a period of 13 years from 1989.We can see that house prices fell overall between 1990 and 1995, but most of the cities saw rising prices between 1996 and 2002. London experienced by far the greatest changes in house prices over the 13-year period.Over the 5 years after 1989, the cost of average homes in Tokyo and London dropped by around 7%, while New York house prices went down by 5%. By contrast, prices rose by approximately 2% in both Madrid and Frankfurt.Between 1996 and 2002, London house prices jumped to around 12% above the 1989 average. Homebuyers in New York also had to pay significantly more, with prices rising to 5% above the 1989 average, but homes in Tokyo remained cheaper than they were in 1989. The cost of an average home in Madrid rose by a further 2%, while prices in Frankfurt remained stable.The charts below show the levels of participation in education and science in developing and industrialised countries in 1980 and 1990.The three bar charts show average years of schooling, numbers of scientists and technicians, and research and development spending in developing and developed countries. Figures are given for 1980 and 1990.It is clear from the charts that the figures for developed countries are much higher than those for developing nations. Also, the charts show an overall increase in participation in education and science from 1980 to 1990.People in developing nations attended school for an average of around 3 years, with only a slight increase in years of schooling from 1980 to 1990. On the other hand, the figure for industrialised countries rose from nearly 9 years of schooling in 1980 to nearly 11 years in 1990.From 1980 to 1990, the number of scientists and technicians in industrialised countries almost doubled to about 70 per 1000 people. Spending on research and development also saw rapid growth in these countries, reaching $350 billion in 1990. By contrast, the number of science workers in developing countries remained below 20 per 1000 people, and research spending fell from about $50 billion to only $25 billion.selecting detailsUnited StatesThe United States had the highest number of prisoners in four out of the six years shown on the chart, and in 1980 the figure for this country peaked at nearly 140,000 prisoners. CanadaCanada had the highest figures for imprisonment in 1930 and 1950, with about 120,000 prisoners in both years.New Zealand and AustraliaThe figures for New Zealand an Australia fluctuated between 40,000 and 100,000 prisoners, although New Zealand's prison population tended to be the higher of the two.Great BritainIn contrast to the figures for the other countries, the number of prisoners in Great Britain rose steadily between 1930 and 1980, reaching a peak of about 80,000 at the end of the period.The following bar chart has a total of 24 bars. It's impossible to describe 24 pieces of information in only 20 minutes, so you need to select.The bar chart compares consumer spending on six different items in Germany, Italy, France and Britain.It is clear that British people spent significantly more money than people in the other three countries on all six goods. Of the six items, consumers spent the most money on photographic film.People in Britain spent just over £170,000 on photographic film, which is the highest figure shown on the chart. By contrast, Germans were the lowest overall spenders, with roughly the same figures (just under £150,000) for each of the six products.The figures for spending on toys were the same in both France and Italy, at nearly £160,000. However, while French people spent more than Italians on photographic film and CDs, Italians paid out more for personal stereos, tennis racquets and perfumes. The amount spent by French people on tennisLINEThe line graph compares the percentage of people aged 65 or more in three countries over a period of 100 years.It is clear that the proportion of elderly people increases in each country between 1940 and 2040. Japan is expected to see the most dramatic changes in its elderly population.In 1940, around 9% of Americans were aged 65 or over, compared to about 7% of Swedish people and 5% of Japanese people. The proportions of elderly people in the USA and Sweden rose gradually over the next 50 years, reaching just under 15% in 1990. By contrast, the figures for Japan remained below 5% until the early 2000s.Looking into the future, a sudden increase in the percentage of elderly people is predicted for Japan, with a jump of over 15% in just 10 years from 2030 to 2040. By 2040, it is thought that around 27% of the Japanese population will be 65 years old or more, while the figures for Sweden and the USA will be slightly lower, at about 25% and 23% respectively.In 1990, almost 90% of 14 to 24 year olds went to the cinema at least once a year. Cinema attendance was about 30% lower than this among people aged 25 to 34 and 35 to 49, while the figure for those aged over 50 was the lowest, at only 40%.The line graph compares the percentage of people in three countries who used the Internet between 1999 and 2009.It is clear that the proportion of the population who used the Internet increased in each country over the period shown. Overall, a much larger percentage of Canadians and Americans had access to the Internet in comparison with Mexicans, and Canada experienced the fastest growth in Internet usage.In 1999, the proportion of people using the Internet in the USA was about 20%. The figures for Canada and Mexico were lower, at about 10% and 5% respectively. In 2005, Internet usage in both the USA and Canada rose to around 70% of the population, while the figure for Mexico reached just over 25%.By 2009, the percentage of Internet users was highest in Canada. Almost 100% of Canadians used the Internet, compared to about 80% of Americans and only 40% of Mexicans.TABLEThe table below gives information on consumer spending on different items in five different countries in 2002.Percentage of national consumer expenditure by category - 2002The table shows percentages of consumer expenditure for three categories of products and services in five countries in 2002.It is clear that the largest proportion of consumer spending in each country went on food, drinks and tobacco. On the other hand, the leisure/education category has the lowest percentages in the table.Out of the five countries, consumer spending on food, drinks and tobacco was noticeably higher in Turkey, at 32.14%, and Ireland, at nearly 29%. The proportion of spending on leisure and education was also highest in Turkey, at 4.35%, while expenditure on clothing and footwear was significantly higher in Italy, at 9%, than in any of the other countries.It can be seen that Sweden had the lowest percentages of national consumer expenditure for food/drinks/tobacco and for clothing/footwear, at nearly 16% and just over 5% respectively. Spain had slightly higher figures for these categories, but the lowest figure forleisure/education, at only 1.98%.The table below shows the proportion of different categories of families living in poverty in Australia in 1999.The table gives information about poverty rates among six types of household in Australia in the year 1999.It is noticeable that levels of poverty were higher for single people than for couples, and people with children were more likely to be poor than those without. Poverty rates were considerably lower among elderly people.Overall, 11% of Australians, or 1,837,000 people, were living in poverty in 1999. Aged people were the least likely to be poor, with poverty levels of 6% and 4% for single aged people and aged couples respectively.Just over one fifth of single parents were living in poverty, whereas only 12% of parents living with a partner were classed as poor. The same pattern can be seen for people with no children: while 19% of single people in this group were living below the poverty line, the figure for couples was much lower, at only 7%.The table below gives information about the underground railway systems in six cities.The table shows data about the underground rail networks in six major cities.The table compares the six networks in terms of their age, size and the number of people who use them each year. It is clear that the three oldest underground systems are larger and serve significantly more passengers than the newer systems.The London underground is the oldest system, having opened in 1863. It is also the largest system, with 394 kilometres of route. The second largest system, in Paris, is only about half the size of the London underground, with 199 kilometres of route. However, it serves more people per year. While only third in terms of size, the Tokyo system is easily the most used, with 1927 million passengers per year.Of the three newer networks, the Washington DC underground is the most extensive, with 126 kilometres of route, compared to only 11 kilometres and 28 kilometres for the Kyoto and Los Angeles systems. The Los Angeles network is the newest, having opened in 2001, while the Kyoto network is the smallest and serves only 45 million passengers per year.MIXThe chart gives information about UK immigration, emigration and net migration between 1999 and 2008.Both immigration and emigration rates rose over the period shown, but the figures for immigration were significantly higher. Net migration peaked in 2004 and 2007.In 1999, over 450,000 people came to live in the UK, while the number of people who emigrated stood at just under 300,000. The figure for net migration was around 160,000, and it remained at a similar level until 2003. From 1999 to 2004, the immigration rate rose by nearly 150,000 people, but there was a much smaller rise in emigration. Net migration peaked at almost 250,000 people in 2004.After 2004, the rate of immigration remained high, but the number of people emigrating fluctuated. Emigration fell suddenly in 2007, before peaking at about 420,000 people in 2008. As a result, the net migration figure rose to around 240,000 in 2007, but fell back to around 160,000 in 2008.The graph and table below give information about water use worldwide and water consumption in two different countries.The charts compare the amount of water used for agriculture, industry and homes around the world, and water use in Brazil and the Democratic Republic of Congo.It is clear that global water needs rose significantly between 1900 and 2000, and that agriculture accounted for the largest proportion of water used. We can also see that water consumption was considerably higher in Brazil than in the Congo.In 1900, around 500km³ of water was used by the agriculture sector worldwide. The figures for industrial and domestic water consumption stood at around one fifth of that amount. By 2000, global water use for agriculture had increased to around 3000km³, industrial water use had risen to just under half that amount, and domestic consumption had reached approximately 500km³.In the year 2000, the populations of Brazil and the Congo were 176 million and 5.2 million respectively. Water consumption per person in Brazil, at 359m³, was much higher than that in the Congo, at only 8m³, and this could be explained by the fact that Brazil had 265 times more irrigated land.The diagram below shows the water cycle, which is the continuous movement of water on, above and below the surface of the Earth.The picture illustrates the way in which water passes from ocean to air to land during the natural process known as the water cycle.Three main stages are shown on the diagram. Ocean water evaporates, falls as rain, and eventually runs back into the oceans again.Beginning at the evaporation stage, we can see that 80% of water vapour in the air comes from the oceans. Heat from the sun causes water to evaporate, and water vapour condenses to form clouds. At the second stage, labelled ‘precipitation’ on the diagram, water falls as rain or snow.At the third stage in the cycle, rainwater may take various paths. Some of it may fall into lakes or return to the oceans via ‘surface runoff’. Otherwise, rainwater may filter through the ground, reaching the impervious layer of the earth. Salt water intrusion is shown to take place just before groundwater passes into the oceans to complete the cycle.BrickmanufacturingHere are my 2 main paragraphs describing the steps:At the beginning of the process, clay is dug from the ground. The clay is put through a metal grid, and it passes onto a roller where it is mixed with sand and water. After that, the clay can be shaped into bricks in two ways: either it is put in a mould, or a wire cutter is used.At the fourth stage in the process, the clay bricks are placed in a drying oven for one to two days. Next, the bricks are heated in a kiln at a moderate temperature (200 - 900 degrees Celsius) and then at a high temperature (up to 1300 degrees), before spending two to three days in a cooling chamber. Finally, the finished bricks are packaged and delivered.'process diagram' detailsLooking at the coffee production process in detail, coffee beans must first be picked in the fields. These beans are then dried, roasted, and cooled before being put in a grinding machine, which turns the beans into coffee granules.At the sixth stage in the process, the ground coffee is mixed with hot water, and the resulting mixture is strained. Next, the mixture is frozen and then passed once again through the grinder. After that, the ground, frozen liquid is dried in a vacuum so that the water evaporates, leaving the coffee granules. Finally, these granules are packed into coffee jars for delivery to shops.Did you notice the passives and sequencing phrases?- Passives: must be picked; are dried, roasted and cooled; is mixed...- Sequencing: then; and; at the sixth stage; next; after that; finally...。
家庭浪费被回收的雅思小作文
家庭浪费被回收的雅思小作文在当今社会，家庭里的浪费现象那可真是不少见，不过呢，值得庆幸的是，现在越来越多的家庭浪费开始被回收利用了。
先来说说那些最常见的家庭垃圾吧，像塑料瓶。
以前啊，家里喝完饮料的塑料瓶，可能就随手一扔，要么扔到垃圾桶里，等着被填埋，要么就被风吹得到处都是，很不环保。
现在可不一样喽。
很多家庭都养成了把塑料瓶收集起来的好习惯。
你知道吗？这些塑料瓶回收之后可以变成好多有用的东西呢。
比如说，可以加工成新的塑料瓶，还能做成纤维用来做衣服。
我就有一件T恤，据说里面就有回收塑料瓶的成分，这可太酷了，感觉就像是把家里以前扔掉的东西重新变成了身上的时尚单品。
还有纸张浪费。
家里打印东西，有时候不小心打错了，或者是看完的报纸杂志，以前可能就直接丢进垃圾桶。
现在大家都开始意识到纸张回收的重要性了。
把这些废纸收集起来，送到回收站，它们就会被重新加工成新的纸张。
这不仅节省了大量的树木资源，还减少了垃圾填埋场的压力。
想象一下，如果每个家庭都把用过的纸张回收，那得少砍多少树啊，那些树就可以继续在森林里好好地生长，给我们提供清新的空气，还能给小动物们一个温暖的家。
再看看厨房垃圾。
像剩菜剩饭，果皮之类的。
以前这些东西除了倒掉好像没有什么别的办法。
但现在呢，有了堆肥这个好办法。
很多家庭都开始自己制作小堆肥箱。
把这些厨房垃圾放进去，经过一段时间的发酵，就变成了非常肥沃的有机肥料。
可以用来给家里的花花草草施肥，让它们长得更加茂盛。
我邻居家的老奶奶就是个堆肥高手，她种的花那叫一个鲜艳啊，每次看到她那些花，我就想这都是厨房垃圾变废为宝的功劳啊。
不过呢，虽然家庭浪费被回收已经有了很大的进步，但还是存在一些问题的。
比如说，有些家庭虽然知道要回收，但是回收的分类做得不好。
把塑料瓶和一些不可回收的垃圾混在一起，这样就会给回收站的工作人员带来很大的麻烦。
还有啊，有些社区的回收设施不够完善，导致家庭想要回收某些东西的时候找不到合适的地方投放。

The chart below shows the process of waste paper recycling.The flow chart shows how waste paper is recycled. It is clear that there are sixdistinct stages in this process, from the initial collection of waste paper to theeventual production of usable paper.At the first stage in the paper recycling process, waste paper is collected either from paper banks, where members of the public leave their used paper, or directly from businesses. This paper is then sorted by hand and separated according to its grade,with any paper that is not suitable for recycling being removed. Next, the graded paper is transported to a paper mill.Stages four and five of the process both involve cleaning. The paper is cleanedand pulped, and foreign objects such as staples are taken out. Following this, allremnants of ink and glue are removed from the paper at the de-inking stage. Finally,the pulp can be processed in a paper making machine, which makes the end product: usable paper.(160 words, band 9)Note: I joined the introduction and overview together because they were both short. Try to analyse the essay - why is it worth band 9?。
Simon雅思小作文真题范文 Task 1 bar chart sample answer
this 题目：The chart below shows the total number of minutes (in billions) of telephone calls in the UK, divided into three categories, from 1995-2002.Here's my suggested outline for a 4-paragraph report:Introduction: rewrite the question statement in your own words.Overview: point out which category was highest in each year, which was lowest, and which saw the biggest changes.Details: compare the 3 categories in 1995, then say what happened up until 1999.Details: notice what happened to local calls from 1999 onwards, and contrast with the other 2 categories. Finish with a comparison of the figures in 2002.范文：The bar chart compares the amount of time spent by people in the UK on three different types of phone call between 1995 and 2002.It is clear that calls made via local, fixed lines were the most popular type, in terms of overall usage, throughout the period shown. The lowest figures on the chart are for mobile calls, but this category also saw the most dramatic increase in user minutes.In1995,people in the UK used fixed lines for a total of just over70billion minutes for local calls,and about half of that amount of time for national or international calls.By contrast,mobile phones were only used for around4billion minutes.Over the following four years,the figures for all three types of phone call increased steadily.By1999,the amount of time spent on local calls using landlines had reached a peakat90billion minutes.Subsequently,the figure for this category fell,but the rise in the other two types of phone call continued.In2002,the number of minutes of national/international landline calls passed60billion,while the figure for mobiles rose to around45billion minutes.(197words,band9)。
