IELTS JOURNAL 101 Sample Answer 54 The chart details the length of different quality water in rivers in England The bar chart shows the length
of water that was in good, fair or poor condition each year from 1993 to 2003. The largest increase given in the graph is from 1993 to 1994, where the amount of good quality water increased by over one third to 18,500 kilometres. A slight increase the following year was followed by a brief decline until 1998, when the length of good water increased from 19,500 kilometres to 24,000 in 2001 and 2002, although this was then followed by a drop of 3,000 km in 2003. The length of water that was deemed to be fair quality varied between 13,000 kilometres and 8,000, with the first five years being higher each year than the second half five years. The amount of poor water declined dramatically between 1993 and 1994, with figures falling by 6,000 kilometres, then to 2,000 kilometres for the next two years. There was a slight increase in 1997 and 1998, followed
by a gradual decrease until 2002. Overall, the length of good quality water increased while fair and poor quality both decreased.
(181 words) IELTS JOURNAL 102 Sample Answer 55 The chart shows the average life expectancy for males and females in 1990, 1950 and 1990 The table provides data on the median number of years people from 5 different countries lived in three different time periods. The most notable
point is that in all countries, women generally lived longer than men, and inmost cases the gap between the genders increases from 1900 to 1990. The countries that had the longest average lifespan in 1900 and 1950
were Denmark and Sweden, although by 1990, Danish life expectancy fell to the lowest age of all countries for both male and female, with figures of 72.6 and 78.8 respectively.
The variations between Austria, Belgium and Germany closed from nearly ten years difference at their peak into only one third of a year difference for women and one tenth of a year for men. Overall, it can be seen that statistically, Swedish people have had the highest life expectancy for both male and female for all three time periods.
