Model Answer with Future Predictions

ielts table future predictions

The table gives information about the proportion of the population who are 65 years old and over in 3 countries (Canada, Germany and the UK) in 1988, 2000 and an estimated percentage in 2030.

Overall, the population of elderly people is predicted to rise in all three countries from 1988 to 2030. The highest percentage of older people was in Germany, which will continue to remain the highest in 2030, while the lowest proportion can be seen in the UK over the period given.

Between 1988 and 2000, the aging population of Canada and Germany went up by around 5% to 20.67% and 25.32% respectively. The UK, on the other hand, showed relatively little change in the proportion of its population aged 65 plus and remained at just under 15% in both years.

By 2030, it is expected that the population of people aged 65 and above will increase by approximately 5.5% in all three countries. The percentage is forecast to reach 30.42% in Germany, 26.35% in Canada and 20.35% in the UK.

    The table presents data about the population of those aged 65 and older in 1988 and 2000, as well as a forecast for 2030 for Canada, Germany and the UK. Units are measured in percent.

    Overall, it can be clearly seen that over the years the amount of the elderly in all countries was constantly growing and this trend is predicted to keep on going.

    In 1988, Germany had the biggest population of the elderly at 20.45%. The proportion of those aged 65 and above in Canada was by nearly 5% less and was followed by the UK with 14.23%. Twelve years later, the older population of Germany and Canada increased at the same rate to just over a quarter and above one fifth respectively; there was an upward trend for the UK as well, however the changes were not as significant and the population inched up by only 0.26%.

    It is predicted that by 2030, the proportion of people 65 and older will increase by around 5% for Germany and by nearly 6% for Canada and the UK. Thus, compared to 1988, in future it is forecast for the proportion of the German and the Canadian of 65 and older to witness around 10% growth, which is expected to be nearly 6% for the British

    The table illustrates and gives information about the proportion of the population who are 65 and over in 3 countries( Germany, Canada, and the UK) in 1988, 2000, 2023 and the expected percentage in 2030.

    Overall, the population of elderly people rose and is predicted to rise in all three countries from 1988 to 2030. The most dominant percentage of older people was in Germany, which is predicted to continue to dominate in 2030, whilst the least dominant proportion can be seen in the UK over the period given.

    Between 1988 and 2000, both Germany and Canada went up approximately 5% to reach 25.32% and 20.67% respectively. On the contrary, the UK showed relatively little change in the proportion of its population aged 65 plus and recorded at just under 15% in both years.

    By 2030, it is expected that the population of people aged 65 and above will increase by an approximate rate of 5.5%in the three countries. The percentage is forecast to reach 30.42% in Germany, 26.35% in Canada, and 20.35% in the UK.

    The table gives information about the changes in the proportion of population of people who are 65 years old and above in three different countries in the year 1988, 2000 and estimated percentage in 2030.

    Overall, it is predicted that the aging population in three countries will rise from 1988 to 2030. The highest percentage of old people was in Germany and it is expected to continue in 2030, while the lowest percentage was from the United Kingdom and can be seen over the period of time given.

    In the beginning of time, Germany had the highest numbers of aging people at 20.45, with five percent increased in 2000, from then it is predicted to continue to rise in the next 30 years to an estimated 1 percent of the total population in Germany. As with Canadian people, older population in 1988 was less than a fifth percent of the general population and it is expected to increased only by approximately 10 percent in the later year.

    In the United Kingdom, they got the lowest numbers of aging people in 1988 at 14.23, and it rose to only less than one percent in the next 12 years at almost 15 %, then it is assumed to be 20.35 % in 2030 and still to be having the lowest aging population among the three countries.

  4. Jamshaid Khan says

    The provided table chart outlines data about the proportion of people who are aged 65 or above over three countries in the year 1988 and 2000, and also makes projections with regard to the estimated increase by the year 2030.

    As an overall trend, the population of elderly people was the highest in Germany which is also predicted to stay dominant over the given period, whereas the opposite was true in the case of the UK which shows the lowest percentage of all the mentioned countries throughout the period.

    In terms of Canada and Germany for the year 1988 and 2000, there was a marked increase in number of aging people which went up fairly steadily by roughly over 4% from 16.32 and 20.45 respectively. At the same time, although there was a rise in the UK’s percentage, but it was minimal as compared to that of Canada and Germany, rising from 14.23 in the year 1988 to 14.89% in 2000.

    By 2030, the percentages of aged people are expected to increase by at least 5% over all the countries The percentage is forecast to reach 26.35 in Canada, 30.42 in Germany and 20.35 in the UK.

    The table illustrates the current data about the percentage of people above the age of 65 in three countries, namely, China, Germany and UK in 1988,2000 and predictions regarding possible changes in these numbers in 2030.

    Overall, it can be observed that Germany has the highest percentage of people above the age of 65, whereas, UK has the least. All the mentioned countries show increase in the population compared to the past and is expected to increase further in the coming years.

    Canada and Germany show a similar trend of increase in the population from 1988 to 2000 where a rise from 16.32 to 20.67 is seen in Canada and from 20.45 to 25.32 in Germany. These numbers are expected to rise further by 2030 where Germany is expected to be at 30.42 which is almost 4 % higher than China’s prediction at 26.35 in the same year.

    Furthermore, elderly population (above age 65) in UK was almost the same in the years 1988 and 2000 (14.23 and 14.89 respectively). However, it is expected to reach 20.35 by 2030.

  10. Nedjmeeddine says

    The table illustrates the percentage of people who are 65 and older in three different countries (Canada, Germany and the UK) from 1988 to 2000, and gives an estimation of their numbers in 2030.

    Overall, the least number of old people per total population was recorded in the UK. However, the population of old people is predicted to rise in all three countries over the period from 1988 to 2030, to reach a record high in Germany in the year of 2030.

    between 1988 and 2000, Both Canada and Germany faced an increase in elderly proportions from 16.32% to 20.67% and 20.45% to 25.32% respectively, with an average of around 4%. However, the UK maintained a more or less constant elderly percentage, slightly above 14% through the given period.

    By 2030, the percentage of people who are 65 and older is predicted to rise by around 5% to reach 30.42% in Germany, 26.35% in Canada and 20.35% in the UK.

  11. MaiDee P says

    The table provides information about the changes in proportion of the population for people aged 65 and over in Canada, Germany and UK in the year 1988, 2000 and predictions for the year 2030.

    Overall, among the 3 countries, Germany accounted for the highest percentage of the population aged 65 and above, while United Kingdom was the lowest within the 3 periods given. Moreover, an increasing trend was observed for all 3 nations including for the future prediction.

    In 1988, Germany’s population for persons aged 65 and older was around 20.45%, followed by Canada and the UK which was around 16.32% and 14.23% respectively. It increased for about 5% by the year 2000 for Germany (25.32%) and Canada (20.67%), while UK increased less than 1% on the same year.

    By 2030, all 3 countries are predicted to increase the population of people aged 65 and above. The population will reach to an estimated percentage of 30.42% for Germany, 26.35% for Canada and 20.35% for the UK.

  12. The table presents the actual and projected data for the people of the age of 65 in three countries (Canada, Germany, and the UK) on different time slots.

    Overall, Canada and Germany have experienced high growth in percentages of this age group in 1988 and 2000 compared to the UK. While the expected growth rate of all three counties is ranging almost between 5-6%.

    It is noticeable that Germany among all was having the highest numbers of population aged around 65 in years 1988 to 2000. It is expecting to reach at 30.42% which will maintain its top spot in the list. On the other hand, the UK’s growth rate was almost minimal in the period between 1988 and 2000. Canada recorded the highest increase which was more than 4% during same period.

    On the other hand, the forecasted numbers depicts a considerable increase in the British population of 65 years old in year 2030. Germany will be having a highest proportions but Canada will record the highest growth of around 6%.

  13. Jason says

    The illustration describes the variance of population proportion aged 65 and older in three countries, Canada, Germany, and the UK, in 1988, 2000, and 2030, respectively. Overall, Germany is predicted to have the largest portion of elders, while the UK is estimated to have the least percentage of old people among the three countries during the given period.

    The elder population of Germany increased from 20.45 percent to 25.32, by 4.87 percent between 1988 and 2000. Their population aged 65 and above will rise to 30.42 percent by 5.10 percent after 30 years. The senior population of Canada was 16.32 percent in 1988 and jumped to 20.67 percent after 12 years. It is remarkable that the most noticeable leap, 5.68 percent will be observed in Canada after the following 30 years.

    Meanwhile, the UK elder population remained nearly constant, 14.23 percent and 14.89 percent, in 1988 and in 2000. Yet, its figure is expected to skyrocket to 20.35 percent after the next 30 years.

  14. Arshnoor Singh says

    Hey Liz , I actually made a report of a chart given on your page which talks about ” Sales of Digital Games from 2000-2006″ , you haven’t given the answer but can you please have a look at mine? Its my first time and would be very helpful for me . It contains around 180 words.

    The bar chart illustrates the sales of 4 types of games (mobile phone games, console games, online games, handheld games) globally from year 2000 to 2006. Units are measured in billion dollars.

    Overall, Handheld Games were the most sold throughout the years, the sale of Mobile Games and Online Games which were around $0 billion in 2000 rose to more than $6 billion and about $9 billion respectively in year 2006.

    The sale of Console Games kept on falling and got almost half within these 7 years that is from slightly under $6 billion in the beginning to around $3 billion in the end whereas the sale of Handheld Games increased rapidly from being slightly under $12 billion in 2000 to approximately $18 billion in 2006.

    Online Games and Mobile Phone Games shared almost equal worth of sales in both 2002 and 2004 that was around $1 billion and $5 billion respectively, sales of both the games increased tremendously without any fall. In comparison between these both, Online Games gained an edge in sales over Mobile Games in the final year.

    hi lizz, your lessons are really efficient and I am trying to write writing task 1 thanks to you. can you check my writing, thank you in advance.

    The table illustrates us information and expectations about the proportion of people who are 65 years old and over of population in three various countries in 1988,2000 and 2030.
    Overall, what stands out from the table is that Germany had the highest rate of people who were 65 and over also this rate will be expected to increase from 1988 to 2030.on the other hand the least percentage of people who are 65 and over were in the UK .also percentage of elderly people are increased slightly in the UK when compared to Canada and Germany.
    When examining exhaustively, Germany has been shown the highest increased rate from 1988 to 2030. In 1988, the highest percentages of people who were 65 and over were in Germany with 20.45% while the least rate in the UK with 14.23%. when it comes to 2000, the country which was shown most increased was Germany and Canada approximately %5 and these countries reached to 25.32% and 20.67% respectively.
    It is predicted that people who will be 65 years and over in Germany will increase to 30.42% in 2030. But the significant rise will be seen in Canada from 20.67% to 26.35%,in The UK from 14.89% till 20.35% between 2000 and 2030.

  16. The table illustrates both the recent and projected change of gerontologic age of 65 and above in Canada, Germany and the UK from 1988, 2000 and 2030. Overall, every nation shows a rising trend and germany remained consistently as the peak in rapid growth of aged population both before and in the future; followed by Canada and the UK.

    The senile population in Germany started at 20.45% in 1988. This figure rose to a quarter cumulatively in the year 2000 and 2030 with proportions of 25.32% and 30.42% respectively. Furthermore, Canada continued the second place, with an aged population of 16.32% in 1988, and is predicted to be so in 2030 with an estimated rise of 10.03%.

    The UK, on the other hand, started with a population of 14.23% and had the shortest leap in the year 200 with around 0.66%. It is seen that the UK remained as the nadir in the entire time and will be so in the future with above 5% estimated rise by 2030.

  17. Hii Liz ,In the last paragraph end ,you mentioned “the UK” but not mentioned “the CANADA and the GERMANY ” Can i know the reason ?

    • Because it is grammatically incorrect to use “the” in front of the words “Germany” and “Canada”. Check in your grammar book which countries do and don’t use “the”.

  18. Marianna says

    Hello, Liz. I want to thank you very much for a great work you are doing for us, wishing to help us with preparation for an exam. I want to mention some mistakes in one of the table you used in your list of diagrams for the task 1. Its the second table sample with the proportion of income spent for 4 common items in UK in 1998. There is a wrong amount for adults for electrical equipment (it should be 5,5%), as well as for children (11,5%), and videos for children could not be 12% but 17,5%. If I am wright, and the table is incorrect, may be it is worth to write some note to inform students? I understtand that they all are not made by you, and all of them were used in real IELTS at some point. So, the students should be prepared, that it might be incorrect information given in a table, but they will be able still to do the task 1 writing, trying to avoid mistakes and contradictions. I am sorry to write it here and not on the page itself, but there is no comment section.. Wish you all the best and once again thank you for your great effort!

    • IT is not your task to decide if the data makes sense. It is not your task to add up or subtract. It is not your task to do anything except report what you see as it is given. It is not your task to provide an opinion. It is a report which is based on data given, not interpretation of data.

  19. alpha220252013 says

    Hi Liz, I came across a video (not yours) which advised against writing any conclusions, opinions and the likes. Can you please clarify when and when not to include this paragraph.

    • Writing task 1 is not an essay. Essays have conclusions which summarise the points already given – it repeats them. Writing Task 1 is a report – a short factual report. It does not include your opinion – it is factual – you report what you see. It should contain NO repeated information which means no conclusion. However, it must contain an overview which gives a collection of the key features so the reader can get a grasp on the main content.

    I have my ielts exam tomorrow.wish me good luck.Your lessons are so helpful 🙂
    Thank you Liz.

  21. Hi Liz, how much do you charge to review a writing essay? thank you

  22. hay liz,
    everybody said to me that overall should at the end in writing task 1
    but your sample answers on this website,there are overall always in 2nd paragraph
    so is it right ? if i write overall in 2nd paragraph…my exam on 5th Jan

  23. Hi Liz, can you check this for me and give me some feedbacks, please.

    There is a table showing information and prediction regarding the change in percentage of population aged 65. They were in three different countries (Canada, Germany and UK) in three different years (1988, 2000 and 2030).

    Overall, you can seen from the table that the highest number will be Germany in each years. On the other hand, the lowest number was in UK in each years.

    In 1988, the highest number was in Germany with exactly 20.45. The lowest number was in UK with almost 15. Taking year 2000 next, the largest number was approximately 25 in Germany. The smallest number was just under 15 in UK. Exactly 30 in Germany in 2030, while in UK was only 20.

    Regards,
    Tana

  24. Ameer Oudah says

    Hello Liz, Please is it possible to say in the first sentence of the overall of this equestion :

    Overall, in the Past, there was a gradual increase in the proportion of people aged 65, and it is expected to coninue rising in 2030.

    Thank you in advance.

    • This is a minimal overview which would not give you a high score. You’ve included only one key feature. You need to mention more. Also mention that this applies to all countries. Furthermore, don’t use a capital letter for the word “past”.

  25. KHIZAR QURESHI says

  27. Srikar says

    Hi Liz,

    I have a query. In the above task, you dived the paragraphs such that the first one compared the trends from 1988 to 2000 for all three countries and the next one compared them from 2000 to 2030.
    I was wondering if I can write in a way so that I compare each country over the three given years. For example, talk about the trends in Canada for all the years followed by Germany and the UK?

    Thanks

    • When you get a table, you can choose to divide your body paragraphs by column, by row, or by distinguishing features. There’s no right or wrong way. When you look at this table, you can see that the UK was always lowest and Germany always highest. So, sure it’s possible to divide it by country. This is why you need to spend time planning your organisation before you start writing. Do you want to highlight countries rankings? Or do you want to highlight that all countries population increased and then later decreased. It’s a choice you make. As long as the examiner can easily understand your organisation (by using linking words and signposting), but ways are possible for the table above.

  28. Hi Liz
    I am not good at writing how can I improve this skill it is realy annoying for me please help in my home town there is not a good teacher to help me

    • Go to the main pages of my website. There are over 300 pages of free tips and lessons. The main pages are accessed through the red bar at the top of the website.

      • that might help because I’m not a good writer either? any prediction to what will be coming for the next test. February 1 2018? either a bar graph? chart?

        • No one can predict and you should not believe anyone who says they can predict the future.

  29. Dear Liz,
    Can we add this the word ” rose ” to the overview by saying this ( the population of elderly people rose and is predicted to rise in all three countries from 1988 to 2030).

    Thank you very much 💐

  30. comfort Stephen Aguiyi says

    Thanks for sharing. May God bless you.

  31. Richard says

    Hi Liz, thanks very much for the model answers. Just a question on the last sentence of this answer, I usually write “The percentage is forecasted to ….” should i used forecasted or forecast in this case?

    • You write “is forecast to” (without “d”). You can also write “is expected to” or “is estimated to” (with “d”)

  32. Hi Liz

    Dear Liz,

    I gave academic test on 24th of June in Sydney and writing task 1 was exactly the same as your model bar graph given above. The only difference was that it was in horizontal way.

    Writing task 2 was
    Scientists predict that computers will drive cars in near future.
    What are the reasons for this?
    Is this negative or positive development?

    See how useful this website is? I will recommend all my fellow ielts students to go through each and every model answer and tips given by Liz. 3 times I got the questions which are here already. It is very helpful. It doesn’t happen every time but still you never know.

    • It’s certainly useful to follow recent topics for both writing and speaking 🙂

  34. Hi dear Liz,

    I’m Zahra, your website and most of its pages are great. I was confused about writing tasks before I visit this website, because every book presents a different and complex structure for writing. I think your strategy is more logical, clear and easy.

    Thanks so much

  35. Hi Liz
    Your site is definitely a great source of learning.
    I am just wondering about the last sentence in the essay above. Is it ‘forecast’ or ‘forecasted’?
    I think you meant ‘forecasted’. Looking forward to hearing from you soon.

  36. Thank you liz

    Does bad handriwriting lead to low marks? I am quite bad at it . Punctuation is also a place where i lack.

    • If the examiner can’t read your writing, then it’s a problem. Punctuation is part of the grammar score.

    Dear Liz,

    Could you give me some advice about my essay?
    Thank you so much.

    Regards

    The table gives information in relation to the ageing population in Canada, Germany and Britain in three different times.
    Overall, in all countries, the proportion of people aged 65 or more increased and will continue to rise over the period shown. Germany had the highest percentage of older population, and the same is predicted for the year 2030 while the least proportion can be seen in the UK in the same period.

    In 1988, the proportion of elderlies was higher in Germany (20.45%), while the figures were comparatively lower in both Canada (16.32%) and England (14.23%), but quite similar percentages. By 2000 a steady increase in the proportion of older population could be seen in both Canada and Germany, rising by around 4%, at 20.67% and 25.32% respectively, whilst the rise in the UK was marginal.

    By 2030, the ageing population is predicted to increase, with a noticable growth of approximately 5% in all three countries. Germany is expected to have the highest rate of 30.42%, followed by Canada(26.25%) and the UK (20.35%).

  49. First and foremost Thank You for these useful informations ……I face only one problem when there are so many figures in chart or grap like i done today then its become difficult too complete it in 150 words because some information always left if care about word limit if not then the word limit exceeds :/

  51. Dear Liz,

    I would be grateful to you if you could assist me in one question….sometimes in listening answers we write an optional answer in bracket …..would that be correct or wrong? …. for example if the answer is cabs….and we write cab (s) then would it be correct or wrong ?

  52. Your works are inspiring, may the Almighty God bless you.

    Thanks in advance .

  55. Areej says

    Hi liz , can you help me and tell me from where should I start to study, it will be the first exam . I hope to get high grade.
    Thank you.❤

  56. Thanks Liz for sharing your model answer. I have been looking for it.

    May I have a quick question? In the last sentence of the last paragraph, would that be possible for me to write “The percentage is forecasted ….” (NOT forecast).

    Thanks again for all of your great work here. They all have been very helpful to me.

  57. Leonard says

    thank you so much Liz,really enjoying your tips as i prepare for my academic exams in June

  58. Miguel Hilario says

    Maam liz, why is that the model answer has no conclusion? Is it allowed without conclusion?

  59. Anandit says

    Hi Liz!
    First of all ,thanks for all the hard work you do for us.
    I had a question. By adding “Overall” in front of overview ,aren’t we using a memorised word every time?

    • It is a connective device which indicates to the reader the content of the paragraph. Without such linking words, you will get a low score. 25% of your marks is based on paragraphs and linking words.

      • Anandit says

        Thank you so much!My examination is tomorrow and i have been studying through your website only. I will post the questions I remember tomorrow positively.

    Thanks liz

  61. My answer for this graph… Could you give feedback ?

    The table given demonstrates the proportions of elderly in three countires; Germany, Canada and the UK in 1980 and 2000 and it also shows the predictions in 2030. Overall, it can be clearly seen from the table that the population of aged 65 and over has been increasing in these three counties.

    First of all, in 1988, the percentage of old people in Germany was more than other countires with 20,45%. That of in Canada and the UK was 16% and 14% relatively. In 2000 the rates of Canada and Germany increased by approximately 5% whereas there was no significant change in the rate of elderly in the UK. The gap between Canada and the UK’s aged population went up in 2000. On the other hand, it is predicted that the number of aged 65 and over will rise in 2030. The proportions will go up by about 6 points and will reach 26%, 30%, 20%. The population of aged in Germany will remain the highest in the graph.

    To sum up, the quantity of old people will be increasing gradullay in these three countires in 2030. Populations will have became more older.

        DEAR LIZ, you have written “continue remain” while writing overview of the given table.should’nt it be “continue remaining” (a verb followed by adjective), “the highest proportion of older people was in Germany,which will continue remaining the highest in 2030” or which will continue to remain the highest .regards
