IELTS JOURNAL 95 Sample Answer 48 The chart shows the percentage of people who have moved house either in the last 3 years, between 3 to 5 years or not within the last 5 years The chart illustrates the breakdown between people who have changed address or remained in the same house, with the numbers split between those who have moved within 5 years, within 3 years or not moved for at least 5 years. Those in their twenties and thirties have less than a quarter of people living in the same home for more than 5 years and those who moved house three to 5 years back being the highest. Those aged between 40 and 49 had the highest figure for having moved 3 to 5
years ago, with 55% of people compared to 31% that had moved more recently and only
14% who had not moved in the last 5 years.
By the next age group, the percentage of people who had moved over 3 years ago and those who had not moved for at least 5 years was almost the same, with only 17% of people having moved more recently. Overall, it can be seen that there are wide variations in the percentage of people who move during certain ages.
(178 words) IELTS JOURNAL 96 Sample Answer 49The charts show information about the number of kilometres travelled in an average month and the distribution of vehicle types in Britain Data is given for the distance travelled
for three different reasons, as well as charts indicating the percentage of vehicle types in the UK in 1990 and 2010. The most significant trend is that the most kilometres were travelled for transporting and delivery reasons. In 1990, this figure was approximately 6500 kilometres, rising to almost 8000 kilometres by 1995 and 2000 but falling to 6,000 by 2010. Personal travel accounted for about 1,200 kilometres a month more than commuting for 1990 to 2000, but commuting distances increased from 2000 to be within approximately 700
kilometres of personal driving, with the former being on 3,000 and the latter being around 2,300. The pie charts indicate that in the twenty year difference, the percentage of cars fell by 4% while the number of trucks increased by 5%.
Over the same period, buses and motorcycles both fell by 1% while the category labelled 'other' increased by 1%. Overall, it is clear that there was a number of changes in the distance travelled and type of vehicles from 1990 to 2010.
