IELTS Writing - Task 1 - Diagram (The water cycle) | IELTS PREPARATION

The diagram below shows the water cycle, which is the process by which water evaporates from the Earth's surface and is returned to it through precipitation. Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

You should write at least 150 words.

Model Answer:

The diagram illustrates the stages of the water cycle, a process in which water evaporates from the Earth's surface, rises into the atmosphere, and falls back to the Earth's surface as precipitation.

At the first stage of the water cycle, the sun's heat causes water to evaporate from oceans, lakes, and rivers. This water vapor then rises into the atmosphere and forms clouds through the process of condensation. At the third stage, precipitation occurs when the cloud droplets become too heavy to stay in the atmosphere and fall to the Earth's surface. Precipitation can take the form of rain, snow, or hail.

After precipitation, water can take different paths. Some of it can run off the Earth's surface and enter rivers and oceans through surface runoff. Some of it can seep into the ground and replenish groundwater through infiltration. Groundwater can then flow underground and eventually discharge into streams, lakes, and oceans.

Overall, the water cycle is a continuous process that ensures the availability of water for life on Earth.

IELTS Writing - Task 1 - Diagrams (Experimental Flu Vaccine)

You are advised to spend a maximum of 20 minutes on this task.

 

In June 1996, an experimental flu vaccine was trialled in a large country town on females only.

Write a report for a university tutor describing the information shown in the diagrams below. 

 

You should write at least 150 words.

The diagrams show data for a flu epidemic which hit a large country town in 1996. Figure 1 gives the number of persons who died; Figure 2 shows the percentage breakdown of females who received a new flu vaccine; and Figure 3 gives the number of cases of flu before and during the epidemic.

In Figure 1 it can be seen that the flu was responsible for the deaths of 2 females but no males in the period from March to May. However, from June to August, there were 4 female deaths and 1 male death.

According to the pie chart in Figure 2, only those females most at risk were given the new flu vaccine; 28% did not take part in the trial. Of those females who took part, 35% were aged (over 65 years old); 24% were babies or children; and 13% were either hospitalised or receiving other medical attention.

From Figure 3 it is clear that the new vaccine had a positive effect on the number of new cases of flu reported in females. There were just over 1000 cases reported in March, climbing rapidly to a peak of 3500 in June. Thereafter, the number of cases dropped slowly to about 2800 in August, before levelling off at 2500 for the rest of the year. For males, the figures were lower but showed a similar trend throughout the epidemic.

IELTS Writing - Task 1 - Diagram (The Hawaiian Island Chain)

You should spend about 20 minutes on this task.

The diagram below gives the information about the Hawaiian island chain in the centre of the Pacific Ocean.

Write a report for a university lecturer describing the information shown.

You should write at least 150 words.

Model answer:

The Hawaiian island chain, in the centre of the Pacific Ocean, is approximately 2,700 km in length. It is formed of volcanoes and the active ones are at the south-east tip of the archipelago, where Hawaii itself is located.

It is believed that the chain began to form nearly 80 million years ago. Each island started to evolve after an eruption on the sea floor. First, a `hot spot' existed on the ocean bed, which let out a plume of material called magma. This magma may originate as deep as 2,883km below the ocean bed. Next, further eruptions took place, which built up the volcano. Eventually, it emerged above the surface of the ocean.

Since that time, the spume of magma has remained static as the Pacific tectonic plate moves in a north-west direction across it at a speed of 7-9cm per year. As it moves, a volcano forms as it passes over the hotspot and then become inactive when it has passed it

IELTS Writing - Task 1 - Diagram (The Eiffel Tower in Paris)

You should spend about 20 minutes on this task.

The diagrams below give information about the Eiffel Tower in Paris and an outline project to extend it underground.

Write a report for a university lecturer describing the information shown.

You should write at least 150 words.

Model answer:

The Eiffel Tower is situated close to the Seine River in Paris. It is a metal structure that is 1,063 feet high and weighs 7,417 tonnes. The tower has been a tourist attraction since 1889, when it was built, and there are 1,665 steps that can be climbed in order to reach the two viewing platforms.

There are now plans to build below the foundations of the tower. These plans include the development of five underground levels that will incorporate the tower's ticket office, shopping facilities, a cinema and museum and two floors of underground parking.

Although details have yet to be finalised, the principle is that the five floors will be connected by two vertical passenger lifts on either side of the tower. In addition, the floor immediately below the tower, which is planned to house the ticket office, will also consist of a large atrium with a glass ceiling so that visitors can look directly up at the tower itself
