The graph below compares the number of visits to two new music sites on the web.
Write a report for a university lecturer describing the information shown below.
You should write at least 150 words.

The line graph shows the number of visitors to two new websites over a period of fifteen days.
Both websites end the period with a higher number of visitors than at the beginning, but there are
some extreme fluctuations in between.
At both the beginning and end of the fifteen day period, Pop Parade had a higher number of
visitors than Music Choice. It started with almost 120,000 visits, but fell at varying rates until the
ninth day, after which it rose sharply for two days, nearly quadrupling, before falling by almost
half by day twelve. It ended the period with another steep rise, more than doubling from eight
thousand to more than one hundred and sixty thousand.
Music Choice fluctuated at lower levels than Pop Parade for most of the period, although on day
three it experienced a sudden jump in number of visitors, before falling back to previous levels.
On day eleven, however, the number of visitors soared from around 25,000 to 120,000 in a single
day, which was higher than the daily visitors for Pop Parade. It remained higher than Pop Parade
for two days before falling back to lower levels, ending its fifteen day period at about 70,000
visitors, a little less than double its first day.
-BAR CHARTS-

The graph below shows female unemployment rates in each country of the United Kingdom in
2013 and 2014.
Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons
where relevant.
Write at least 150 words.

The bar chart shows the unemployment rates for women in four countries during a two-year
period. In three of the countries, the unemployment rate fell between 2013 and 2014; however, in
Scotland it increased.
The highest unemployment rate recorded in these four countries was in England in 2013, at a rate
of 6.8%. However, the following year this number fell to 6.5%. Although it dropped, that still
gave England the second highest unemployment rate during 2014. The only country higher
than 6.5% was Scotland, which had risen from 6.1% to 6.7% over the recorded period.
Both Wales and Northern Ireland had comparatively lower unemployment rates. Northern
Ireland recorded the greatest fall in female unemployment, with a drop of 1%, while Wales fell
4%, ending slightly higher than Northern Ireland, whose 2014 unemployment rate was
the lowest of all four countries at just 4.6%
. –PIE CHARTS-
The charts show the main methods of transport of people travelling to one university in 2004 and
2009.
Summarise the information be selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons
where relevant.

The given pie charts compare the percentage of students using five different means of
transportation (Car, Train, Bus, Bicycle, and Walking) to travel to a particular university during
2004 and 2009.
It is noticeable that travelling by train was the least favored form of transportation, while there
was a change, from cars to buses, for the most commonly used form of transport over the five
year period.
In 2004, just over half of students traveled to the university by car, with only a third taking a bus.
The remaining students rode a bike, went on foot or took a train, with the figures being 9%, 4%,
and 3% respectively.
However, with the construction of a new bus stop in 2008 and the introduction of car parking
fees in 2006, in 2009 the number of students commuting by car dropped to 28%, and
consequently the number of students travelling by all other methods increased. Those travelling
by bus increased to 46%, bicycle user’s rose to 16%, and both train travelers and walkers
increased by 1% and 2% respectively.
. –TABLES-
The table below gives information about consumer spending on different items in five different
countries in 2002
Summarise the information be selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons
where relevant.

The table illustrates the proportion of national expenditure in Ireland, Italy, Spain, Sweden and
Turkey on the three types of consumer items in 2002.
Overall, the catagory of consumer goods that all contries spent most on was food, drinks and
tobacco, which was three times higher than on the other types of goods, the lowest spending
could be seen in the category of leisure and education in all five countries. The outlay of Turkey
was generally the highest.
in terms of food, drinks and Tobacco, Turkey spent the most at 32,14%. The expenditure of
Ireland was also high compared to Sweden which spent the least. Spain and Italy spent 18,80 and
16,36% respectively. On the other hand, the lowest expenditure was on leisure and education
which accounted for under 5% in all countries. Turkey spent the most on these items at just
4,35% of their national expenditure which is around double at that of Spain(1,98%).
Clothing and footwear was the third category of consumer goods and outlays for those items
were between 9% in Italy and 5,40% in Sweden. The national spending in this area for the
remaining countries averaged around 6,5%.
. –PROCESS-

The process diagram shows how coffee is produced by using a dry method. There are twelve
stages altogether, beginning with the beans being sorted and ending with the coffee being packed
and sold at a supermarket or shop.
To begin with, the beans are sorted by hand and then cleaned by using a sieve. Next, they are
dried in the sun for four weeks, before being raked and turned. Then they are stored in a silo until
the time when they are sent to a mill in a truck.
At the mill, the beans are hulled and graded before they are bagged. After the process of being
bagged, the coffee is sold in bulk to retailers, who will undertake the last two steps of the
process. Finally, it is roasted, packed, and then sold again to the consumer in a shop. The bag of
coffee is the final product.
–MAP-

There are two maps showing the development of an island. The first map shows the island prior
to its development, and the second shows the new tourist facilities that have been installed.
Before the construction of the new tourist infrastructure, the island had no buildings. There were
only trees and empty spaces. The island is surrounded on all sides by sea, and there was a beach
on the far western shore.
There have been various changes to the island, starting with the pier on the southern coast, which
allows tourists to reach the island by boat. From there, they can follow a vehicle track to the
reception, in the center of the island. Located slightly to the north of the reception is a restaurant,
which sits on the northern coast. These are bordered on both sides by accommodation, in the
form of huts. The huts are laid out in circular patterns and connected to the reception and
restaurant by footpath. There is also a footpath now leading to the beach, which is suitable for
swimming.
–MIXED CHART-
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.
