Graph #7

 

Question:
Write a report for a university lecturer describing the information in the graphs below.
Answer:
The above graphs show the number of deaths caused by six diseases in Someland in 1990 and the amount of research funding distributed for those diseases. It is obvious that the amount of research funding in most cases is not relevant to the seriousness of the disease in term of numbers of deaths.
In 1990, there were about 0.2 millions deaths from AIDS, 0.1 million deaths from leprosy, 0.3 million deaths from tropical diseases, 0.5 million deaths from diarrhoea, 0.4 million deaths from malaria and 1.8 million deaths from TB. These figures can be contrasted with the amount of funding allocated for each disease. In 1990 AIDS received 180 million dollars in research funding, leprosy 80 million dollars in research funding, tropical diseases 79 million dollars in research funding, diarrhoea 60 million dollars in research funding, malaria 50 million dollars and TB 20 million dollars in research funding.

In conclusion it is clear that funding allocation for disease research in Someland is not nearly determined by the number of deaths for which each disease is blamed in a given year.

Graph #6

 Question:

The diagram below shows the average hours of unpaid work per week done by people in different categories. (Unpaid work refers to such activities as childcare in the home, housework and gardening.)

Describe the information presented below, comparing results for men and women in the categories shown. Suggest reasons for what you see.

Answer:

the graph shows the inequality in hours of unpaid work per week done by both married men and women.

For the households without children, women seem to work for about 30 hours per week with such the tasks of house work and gardening, while men's contribution to the unpaid works accounts for less than 18 hours.

In the household with one or two children, the unequality gets even more greater. Although men keep rather constant in the amount of time for unpaid work in comparison with the group without children, women have to spend upto 52 hours per weeks on such unpaid tasks because of the childcare responsibilities.

For those with more than three children, it is interesting that men in this group work even fewer hours than when the children appear. Their amount of time reduces to about 16 hours per week. In contrast, the unpaid hours of women in this group rising remarkably to over 56 hours.

In conclusion, there is an unequality in sharing the unpaid works between men and women, and this trend seems to increase obviously especially when the children appear.

IELTS Graph #5

 Question:

Write a report for a university lecturer describing the information in the table below.

• You should write at least 150 words.
• Allow yourself 20 minutes for this task

Answer:
The table shows how people in different age groups spend their leisure time in Someland over a year. It can be obviously realized that the amount of leisure time varies remarkable across the age groups and that people from different age group have very different ways of spending their free time.

According to the figures on the table, the elder people get, the more the amount of free time they spend reduces. Teenagers and those at the twenties years old spend on average 500 hours per year on socializing and 350 hours of that time is with a group of more than 4 people. Although the total hours of socializing in the 30s, 40s, 50s and 60s group is quite constant (between 300-350), socializing with more than 4 people drops dramatically to 50 hours in the 30s and 40s age groups and only 25 from 50 years old group. Group and individual exercise follow a similar situation.

People of all ages spend a good part of their leisure time on entertainment such as TV/video viewing and cinema. In both cases, teenagers and retired people spend around twice as much time as those who are at working age. Home entertainment varies from over a thousand hours for teenagers and retired people and an average of 600 hours for everyone else. Cinema accounts for 100 hours of the teenagers and retired people’s free time and 25-50 hours for the rest.

In conclusion, it can be seen there is an important trend towards isolation. Teenagers and retired people seems to spend much more time on entertainment than those at working age do.
