The bar chart and pie charts illustrate the percentage of people in Glasgow having three levels of education (university, school and those with no qualifications) in 2010. Information is divided into five age groups in the bar chart and by gender in the pie charts.
Overall, the majority of people with university education were in younger age groups, while in the oldest age group most people did not have any qualifications. The proportions of men and women were similar and showed little different between the levels of education.
The percentage of people with university education was up to 76% in the younger three age groups compared to only 50% in those ages 50 to 75 and just 25% in those over 75. This trend was reversed in those with no qualifications (9% in younger people rising to 72% in the oldest age group). The figure for those with school education was relatively constant at around 20% but was as low as 3% in the over 75’s.
The proportion of men and women in each level of education was around one third with only a slightly difference of 3% in university graduates as well as those who didn’t have educational qualifications.

Hello, Liz! First of all, thank you for your website and knowledge sharing!
I’ve been racking my brain for over an hour now about paraphrasing percentages in WT 1 essays. They teach to paraphrase them using approximation, and I read quite a few essays on the Internet with percentages in the tasks. Almost all of them used the percentages the way they are given in the tasks. I didn’t meet any paraphrased phrases such as “one fifth”, “a quarter”, etc. in any essay with percentages. Could you explain to me if there’s no need to use them as they elongate the essays rather than being direct. But then why do we still learn those paraphrasing phrases, if we don’t use them or still can get a high band score even if we don’t use them.
Lets start with the basics. Task 1 is not an essay, it’s a report. That is important to realise because report writing is different to essay writing.
When you look at a model answer to learn from, you must be sure that the person who wrote it is someone you wish to learn from. You must choose your teachers in life as well as in IELTS. If you aren’t impressed with their understanding of the test, their qualifications and their experience, then don’t learn from them. I take time to write my model answers for task 1 and task 2 to be sure they are safe to learn from.
When you refer to parts of a whole, such as one fifth, this is usually because you are writing about pie charts which are designed to show parts of a whole. So, although this isn’t a fixed rule, most language, for example three quarters, will belong to pie chart reports. For other kinds of reports such as line graphs, bar charts and tables, you will mostly be reporting the percentage as given.

Hi Liz,
Thanks a lot, Liz. I just got my IELTS results 5 minutes ago, and I received an overall band score of 8.
That’s wonderful. Very well done to you 🙂
Hello Liz, please I need improvement on my writing skills I would really appreciate if you reply to this with corrections,thank you.
The charts show the education levels by age range and gender in Glasgow in the year 2010.
Overall the age groups with the most percentage of education level were the younger groups, the older groups had the highest percentage for no qualification hence they were the group with the lowest education level. The education level of men and women are both within the same range with slight differences.
The percentage of education level in the younger groups (16-24/24-35/35-50) was high with the highest being 76% for university degree and 15-20% for school certificate. The case was different for the older groups as the level of education in their set was quite low. The percentage for no qualification in this category was high with age 50-75 having 30% and 75 above having 72%.
The proportion of education level between men and women was relatively similar. They both had a percentage of 33% for school certificates. However, there was a slight difference in the rate of university degree and no qualification, men had a rate of 32% and 35% respectively. Women on the other hand had a proportion of 38% for no qualification and 29% for university degree.

And finally, review the sentence structures in my model answer – note plural nouns, adjectives, language etc.
The image presents data on education levels in Glasgow in 2010, categorized by age range and gender.
Overall, university degree attainment was highest among younger age groups and declined with age, while the proportion of those with no qualifications increased in older demographics. There was also a slight difference in educational achievement between men and women across all ages.
For age ranges, university degree holders were most prevalent in the 24-35 group at 76%, followed closely by 16-24 and 35-50 at 71% each. This percentage dropped significantly to 50% for ages 50-75 and only 25% for those 75+. Conversely, those with no qualifications increased from 9% in younger groups to 30% for ages 50-75 and 72% for 75+.
Regarding gender differences, 32% of men held university degrees compared to 29% of women. The proportion with school certificates was equal at 33% for both genders. However, slightly more women (38%) than men (35%) had no qualifications. These figures suggest a marginal educational advantage for men overall in Glasgow in 2010.

The provided image depicts the educational attainment of residents in Glasgow, Scotland, as of 2010. The data is presented in two charts: one illustrating the distribution of educational levels across different age groups, and the other comparing the educational attainment of women and men.
An analysis of the age-based chart reveals that while the majority of individuals in all age groups possess at least a school certificate, the proportion of those with university degrees increases with age. Notably, the highest percentage of university graduates is observed in the 50-75 age range, suggesting a trend towards higher education in recent decades. Conversely, the percentage of individuals with no qualifications is relatively low across all age groups, with a slight peak in the youngest age bracket (16-24).
When examining the gender-based chart, it becomes evident that women have achieved higher educational levels than men across all categories. A larger percentage of women hold university degrees compared to men, while a smaller percentage of women lack any qualifications. This disparity is particularly pronounced in the category of school certificates, where men outnumber women by a small margin.
In conclusion, the data presented in the charts highlights a positive trend towards increased educational attainment in Glasgow, Scotland, with a particular emphasis on higher education among older age groups and a notable disparity in favor of women in terms of overall educational achievement.

Hi there, could you please give some comments and a grade of my output?
The charts provides a general view of the informations about levels of education in Glasgow, a city in Scotland, in 2010, where the three levels are university degree, school certificate, and no qualifications. The bar chart presents the levels by age range, while the pie charts presents the levels by gender in 2010.
Overall, the majority of people in university degree are in the young-aged zone, while the majority of people in no qualification are in the old-aged zone. There isn’t much difference of the percentage of different education levels between women and men at all ages in 2010.
Staeting from age 24, the average education level of the age zone is higher than the average education level of the younger age zone was higher than the average education level of the older age zone. This means that the average education level was increasing during the development of times. The proportion of university degree in people aged between 16 and 24 is slightly lower than the university degree in people aged between 24 and 35. This might because that there exist teenagers in the range of 16 and 24 who cannot participate in the university in 2010 due to the age limitations.
In conclusion, these pie charts and bar charts illustrates that the education level of Glasgow was developing during the development of times in 2010. And there nearly wasn’t exist differences of education levels between women and men in Glasgow in 2010.
The bar-charts and the pie-charts show informations about education levels by age and gender in 2010 for a city in Scotland. Education level by age is shown by a bar-chart and education level by gender is shown by pie-charts.
Overall, the most noticeable information we can see from the charts is that people who are 75 years or older have the highest percentage of having no educational qualifications.
Looking at the bar-chart, we can learn that the number of people who have any sort of qualifications are getting lower and the age group of 75+ being the lowest, with the record of 72 people out of 100 people sample.
Next, the education level by gender. Looking at the chart, we can see that there is almost no difference with the negligible amount of 38% of women having no qualifications and 35% having no qualifications as well. For school qualifications, both genders have equal percentage of 33%. Lastly for university qualifications, 29% on women and 32% on men.
Hi, Liz. Thank you for your continued dedication to IELTS learners!
The bar chart illustrates the education levels of different age groups in Glasgow in 2010, and the pie charts show the education levels of women and men across all ages. Overall, most people aged below 50 years old had a university degree, and there was little difference between women and men in terms of education levels across all ages.
Starting with the education levels by age range, the proportions of three education levels (university degree, school certification, and no qualifications) were almost the same in the younger generations (16-24, 24-35, and 35-50). However, in the older groups, the percentage of the no qualifications population increased sharply with age. In the 50-75 age range, 30 percent of the population had no qualifications, the proportion of those with a school certificate remained at 20 percent, while only 50 percent of the population had a university degree. By contrast, for people aged above 75 years old, the no qualifications proportion rose to 72 percent, while the proportions of the other two education levels shrank significantly to 3 percent and 25 percent, respectively.
Regarding the education levels by gender across all ages, there was little difference among those three levels. 32 percent of men had a university degree, which was 3 percent higher than that of women. Both the proportion of women and men with a school certification was 33 percent. Lastly, 38 percent of women had no qualifications, which was 3 percent higher than that of men.
Your aim is to write between 170 words and 190 words. Occasionally, it might reach 200, but not over. You are marked down for too much detail. You need to plan carefully and group similar information together. By doing that, you’ll reduce your word count and show better organisation of information as well as highlighting.
Hi Liz! I want to say thank you so much. I have scored an overall 8 bands in the IELTS and I am thankful for your content, especially the writing tasks. It is safe to say that whatever writing I have learnt while IELTS prep is from you.
That’s brilliant!! Very well done! A band score 8 is excellent. I hope you celebrated. Thanks for coming back to share your results 🙂
Hello Liz. For Academic Writing Task1, is it okay to use a “/” ? for example, can I write the percentage of urban/suburban, or should I write urban and suburban?
It was mentioned as urban/suburban in the question.
You must use linking words (for example, “and”) because you are being marked on your use of linking words.
Hello Liz.
After I practiced this question, I cross checked it with your model essay. My introduction was “The bar chart shows the education levels among different age groups while the pie charts illustrate the proportion variation by gender in the Scottish city of Glasgow for the year 2010.” Is it okay to mention the two charts like this or should I use the approach of “the bar chart and pie chart”, like mentioning them both together in the start instead or splitting them up?
Thank you, and apologies if the question is too long.
This isn’t about what is best for IELTS. It’s about what is logical. As they are two separate charts with different information, you would keep it that way in the introduction. Remember the model is a band 8, not a band 9. It is best to mention levels of education and the number of age groups as well.
The charts provide information about the comparison of education levels according to group of ages and gender classification in all ages in 2010.
Overall, the study was classified under 5 age group. It is clear that the age group of 50 and below had the most university degree, while both genders (regardless of age) neither had a degree in university nor a school certificate.
In detail, the age group from 16 to 50 years had the highest number of degree holders in university accounting an average of 73%. The same age group made up 18% for those who only had school certificate while less than a tenth had no qualification. Moreover, ages 50 to 75 had 50% of university graduates while the other 50% accounted for those people who had no education (30%), and who acquired certification in schools (20%). The last age group (75 plus) had the highest rate for “no qualifications” at 72%. Only a quarter of them had university degrees and 3% had school certificate.
The education level based on gender classification charts present both genders recorded 33% of university graduates. It can be observed that men were 3% higher than women who had school certificate (32% and 29% respectively. These figures opposed the number of men and women who had no education, which recorded 38% for women while 35% of their counterpart.
The bar chart illustrates the data about education levels by age range in Glasgow, a town in Scotland, in 2010. Additionally, the pie chart presents the proportion of education levels by gender in 2010.
Overall, it can be seen from the bar chart that most younger people, with education levels above 70 in a University degree. On the other hand, the older people, with no Qualifications, are above 70 too.
Looking at the bar chart, it is apparently that people who are age between 16 to 50. They have the University degree for 71, 76 and 71, respectively. Moreover, they also have the School certificate for 20, 15 and 20, respectively. Although younger people who are graduated from those education levels, there are few younger people who have no Qualification, accounting for 9, 9 and 9, respectively. On the one hand, the majority of older people who are age over 50, they have no Qualifications for 30 and 72, followed by older people who have the University degree for 50 and 25. Furthermore, older people who have the School certificate for 20 and 3.
Lastly, the pie charts show the information in different education levels by gender. it is clear that men(all ages), they are more graduated in a University degree than women(all ages) by 3%. In contrast, women(all ages), they have more no Qualifications than men(all ages) by 3%.
I did read your essay and I have a question for you.
” How do you manage to brainstorm for an idea and organize the information for writing an essay?”
My essay is quite long and boring, not clearly like your essay :(. You compared the information so clearly. I’m looking forward for the tricks.
**Lastly,please score for me. Thanks for your service ** 😀
The bar chart shows the percentage of student that owns computer by their 5 various educational levels in two different years 2002 and 2010.
Overall, from no high school diploma to post graduate level, the number of ratio for computer ownership dramatically increased from 2002 and 2010. As the education level goes up, the computer own by people increases.
In first main paragraph, we will talk about the first three education level and their proportion. Firstly, we are going to talk about ”No high school diploma”, the total percentage of student who own computer are , between 10% to 20%, and slightly above from 40% in 2002 and 2010 respectively. Now for ”high school”, in 2002 slightly lower than 40%, in 2010 the percentage lies in the range of 60% to 70%.As we going forward, we are now talking about the third level which is ”collage (incomplete)” , in 2002 the percentage lies above from 50% but below from 60%. As for 2010 it is lies between 80% to 90%.
As i mentioned above, the percentage is increasing as the level of education increases.now talk about the ”Bachelor’s degree” the percentage is 70% and 90% in 2002 and 2010 respectively.sames goes for ”Post graduate qualification” in 2002 and 2010 the percentages are between 70% to 80% and 90% to 100% individually.
Try to review all my model answers for the academic test in writing task 1. There is no “I”, there is no “we”, there is no “going to”. Review the language I use, review the sentence structures. Go back and compare your writing to mine. Then write a list of all the expressions and grammar points that you see different. This is the only way to learn on your own and it is the purpose of providing model answers. IELTS writing task 1 reports are formulaic. This means there are particular expressions, sentence structures, linking devices etc for all types of task 1. It’s your task to learn them so that you write appropriately.
This bar chart shows the detail breakdown of the educational qualification against five age
groups in Glasgow, Scotland in 2010. And the Pie chart below shows how the education level differs according to the gender.
In the bar chart two age groups had same educational qualifications. Age 16-24 and 35-50 groups got same percentage in all 3 categories.

However the highest proportion of level of education are represent among the age group 24_35 with university degree while the others are accounted for equal level of education (16-24,35-50) followed by 50-75 and the least remains with 75+.The school certificate are accounted to have consistent proportion among the age group of 16-24,35-50 and 50-75 while 75+ remains the least. Levels of education with no qualification tends to increase among the 75+and a consistent proportion at 16-24, 24-35, 35-50 (9) then followed by 50-75(30).

The proportion of university degree and No qualification are said to be dominated among both chart.
Please I stand to be corrected by any one on this platform

Hello Liz,
I have two questions which I would appreciate if you answer.
If I forget a word while writing, can I just add the word in the middle with pointer in my paper based IELTS exam?
If I make a mistake while writing, is it fine to cancel the word/ words with pencil instead of erasing to save time.
For the paper based test, yes, you can do that. As long as it is all easy to read, it’s fine. You can add words and delete words. When you delete words, make sure the word is clearly deleted so that the examiner knows to ignore it.
hello liz
i dont have any question
just wants to thank you for your work
may ALLAH bless you
Thanks

This trend was reversed for elderly people (25% and 50% for those who have university degree and 72% and 30% for those with no qualifications, for the ages 75+ and 50-75, respectively). The school educational level was around 20% for nearly all ages except people who are more than 75, which was only 3%.
In terms of gender, the proportion of men and women who had university degree and those with no qualifications was around a third with a slightly difference (3%). Both of them have the same school educational level percentage.
the pie charts and bar chart illustrate the percentage of poeple in Glascow prsuing education per level (university, school, and these with no qualifications) in 2010. Information was divided into five age groups in the bar chart and gender in the pie charts.
Overlall, the number of males and females pursuing studies in Glascow surpassed that of these with no qualifications in 2010. Furthermore, most young people went to university while a significant proportion of peole above the age of 75 had no qualifications.
with regards to the age, aound 73 percent of the people in Galsgow between the age of 16 and 50 were going to univercity in 2010 with only about 20 percent and only a mere 9 percent going to shcool and with no qualifications respectively, the number of people with no qulification grow significantly to 72 percent as the age went up to above 75, with only 3 percent of old people in shcools and 25 percent in universities.
in terms of gender,33% was the proportion of both men and women going to school, in addition to that, the proportion of people going to the university was 32% for men and 29% women leaving 35% and 38% of men and women with no qualifications respectively.

The charts highlight the numerous qualifications obtained in 2010 by people in the city of Glasgow situated in Scotland.
They depict the number of people availing university degrees, school certificates and having no qualifications between five age groups, namely 16-24, 24-35, 35-50, 50-75 and above 75 years.
Up to 71 people have obtained university degree, followed by 20 people completing schooling and the rest 9 having no qualifications in the age group of 16-24. Similarly, the people in the age group 35-50 have the same statistics as that of 16-24. The highest share of completing college education can be contributed by the age group 24-35, being 76. Consequently, the least number of people getting school certificates is also in the same group. Almost, three fourth quarters of people in the age group of 50-75 has finished some kind of education. Meanwhile, the senior citizens group of above 75 years of age has the highest share of people not qualified whereas only 3 of them getting a school degree.
Two pie charts have demonstrated the percentages of qualifications based on gender. Firstly, 38% female students have passed out of universities, following with 33% finishing school and finally 29% having no qualifications at all. Lastly, a similar pattern can be observed from male students with having the larger share of university degrees meanwhile having the least share of no degrees.
The bar chart and pie chart illustrate three level of education in Glasgow city in Scotland in 2010. Education is divided into three parts College, university, no qualifications. Bar chart indicates education levels by age group and pie charts indicates education level by gender.
The information in bar chart is by age range. In Age 16 to 24, denotes that 71% is University degree , 20% is School certificate, 9% is no qualification . In Age 24 -35, 76% have University Degree, 15% have school certificate, 9% people doesn’t have qualification. Age 35-50, 71% have university degree, 20% have school certificate and 9% doesn’t have qualification. Age group 50-75, 50% have university degree, 20% have school certification & 30% doesn’t have qualification. In age group 75+, 35% have university degree, 3% have school certificate & 72% doesn’t have qualification.
The information in pie chart is by gender all ages. 38% women don’t have qualification, 29% have university degree, 33% have school certification. In men 35% don’t have qualification, 32% have university degree & 33% have school certification.
The bar chart provides the percentage of education level in different age groups in the city of Glasgow in Scotland in 2010. however the two pie charts classifies the study level of the same population based on their gender.
Overall the majority of the population with higher education (university degree) were within the age of 24 to 35 years, while seniors above 75 years of old were the least educated. furthermore the classification of the study criteria among the people of Glasgow based on their genger showed a similar pattern between males and females.
Moreoever the percentage of the people in the age group of 24 to 35 years old who had a university degree were 76 which was slightly more than the other two groups with 71 percent. also 15-20 percent of the people up to 75 years of old were graduated from school, as oppose to the people above 75 years of old who 72% of them were uneducated and barely had a school degree (3%).
In addition, the amount of men regardless of their age who undergone higher education were 3% more compared to that of the women whereas it was the same for school education and 3 percent less for no education at all. it is evident that the education level is divided into almost three equal portion of population in both genders
The bar chart and pie chart illustrates the percentage of people in glasow have three levels of education( university,school and no qualification). Information divided into 5 different age groups in barchart and two two genders in pie chart.
Overall,majority of young people have university degree,while in older age group did not have any qualifications. The proportions of men and women were shown same similarity but little margin by percentage in university and school certificate.
The percentage of people with university degree almost touch to 76 in three different age groups compared to only 50% in those age group between 50-75 and just 25% over 75+ age group. This trend was reveresed with no qualification( 9% younger people rising to almost 75% in older age group). Those with school education is constant at around 20% but as low as 3% in older age group (above 75 years).
The proportions of men and women have slightly 3% difference in university degree and didn’t have any qualifications.

HI Liz,
Thanks for explaining the IELTS in a such a calm and easy way. I’m about to take my test in February. This is page is really helpful.
Thanks a lot.
Good luck with your test!
Hello, Liz
I hope millions of people are appreciating for your site, thank you so much!
I have some question.
Is it not proper to write didn’t on writing task? Cause you marked it as mistake.
Looking forward your reply!
Thank you.
Writing Task 2 is formal and you shouldn’t use contractions.
150 is the minimum and you can go up to 180-190 max.
There is no maximum. But it recommended not to go above 200 for task 1.
Hi Liz,
Please I would really appreciate it if you correct me on this academic writing task one practice. I got it from your IELTS Sample Charts for writing task 1 Practice.
This is the question
The chart below shows the global sales of different kinds of digital games from 2000 to 2006.
This question is the third chart on the practice sample to be precise.
Here is my answer
The bar chart illustrates the global trades of various kinds of digital games (mobile phone games, online games, console games handheld games) from 2000 to 2006. The sales were recorded in dollars.
Overall, the game with the highest sale for each year is the handheld games while the game with the lowest trade varies between online games which had low income between 2001 and 2003 and console games which had low trades between 2005 and 2006. The first and second year had two and three games sales respectively.
The trades for the handheld games rose steadily from about 11 billion dollars in 2000 to about 18 billion dollars in 2006 unlike the console games which declined steadily from about 6 billion dollars in 2000 to about 3 billion dollars in 2006.
Although the online games started sales in 2001 for 1 billion dollar, it increased significantly to about 9 billion dollars in 2006 while the mobile phone games which started trades in 2002 for about 2 billion dollars rose considerably to about 7 billion dollars in 2006.

Hi there, I would like to hear comments about my output, please. thank you
The diagram presents the 2010 information on the percentage of people in Glasgow, Scotland based on 3 education levels, such as University degree, School certificate, and those without qualifications. Moreover, it illustrates the percentages of the population for such educational levels as expressed across 5 age ranges in the mekko chart and across both genders in the pie charts.
Overall, the mekko chart shows that people holding a university degree comprise the largest proportion according to age range, except for the one falling under the category of 75 years old and above. Conversely, the pie charts report that people with no qualifications have the largest percentage for both genders.
Pertaining to the distribution of educational levels across age ranges, there is a greater proportion (71-76%) among individuals holding a university degree as opposed to among those holding no qualification (9%) from the age of 16 until the age of 50. This score among university degree holders dramatically decreases to half of the population among those between the ages of 50-75 until to only a quarter of the population among older people at age 75 and beyond, while such trend is oppositely portrayed among people with no qualifications as they advance in age.
On the other hand, about the percentage distribution across both genders, there is not much significant difference between the three educational levels. While people with no qualifications comprise the largest percentage of 35% and 38% among both the males and females respectively, school certificate holders come next at 33% among both genders and university degree holders place third only at 29% and 32% among female and male university degree holders respectively.
Thank you soo much liz for giving video lessons on YouTube and for giving soo many practice papers of different sections along with some solved ones to give us the idea . During this lockdown I was worried about how will I prepare for ielts with going to institute’s but now I fell relaxed . Your lessons are quite helpful . Thanks for your support and service . May you live long life full of happiness and joy . God bless you liz
I’m glad you found my site and can benefit from my free lessons 🙂 Good luck with your preparation 🙂
Dear Liz,
I would like to ask you if the writing part is corrected by an examiner or by a machine, a sort of text checker.
Thank you very much,
Alice
Only a human being can assess ideas, signposting, coherence etc. The writing test is not just language based. Please go to the band score page on this site and learn more about how writing is marked.
Thanks for providing useful material.
God bless you.
I#m glad it’s helpful 🙂
Hi Liz,
First of all, Thank you for everything! God bless!
I’d like to ask you about one thing, here it is:
Is it appropriate to use symbol ‘ – (minus) ‘ in writing task one as a explanation. For example: The sales of computer increased gradually from 4 to 5 thousands – a rise of 25%.
Thank you!
No, don’t use it. You should be showcasing your grammar: “The sales of computer increased gradually from 4,000 to 5,000, which was a rise of 25%.” This is your chance to use a clause.
Stay blessed.
Hey Liz ,
Thank you so much for providing us with materials.
Hi Liz. My name’s Namrata. Today I completed my speaking assessment. Accordingly, I feel I was not able to do good I was stressed up. And I answered the questions properly but not able to use high words in sentence. I was grammatically good and fair.
I wittness that your word counting is more than as campared to requirement
The instructions tell you to write “at least 150 words”. The words “at least” means that 150 words is the minimum – you must write OVER 150 words.
I think that the one is 198 words whereas the word is given only range of 150 words
Dear Liz,
Thank you so much for your good works. I learnt about you from a sister whom through your site’s aid made her IELTS and has gained admission in the UK.
Kindly check through my solution attempt to the question above and give me corrections.
The charts illustrate the proportion of people in Glasgow which is a city in Scotland having three academic qualifications (university degree, school certificate and no qualification) in 2010. Furthermore, the classification of people with these qualifications were graded by age and gender.
Overall, the most popular academic level was the university degree for all ages while the school certificate had the least population. Also, the younger generation were more into the university education as opposed to the older generation who preferred the no qualification. On the other hand, male and female shared a similar fate as regards the educational qualifications as is evident in the little disparity in percentage between the two genders..
The university education was dominated by the age bracket 16-50 while age 75+ made the least proportion of this degree holders and vice versa. Age 16-24 constituted a high percentage (71%) of university degree holders which rose to the peak of 76% for 24-35 and slightly dropped to 71% for age 35-50 but reduced further to 50% and 25% for ages 50-75 and 75+. Moreover, the no qualification was on the reverse as it’s population peak of 72% was constituted by age 75+, it came down to 30% for age 50-75 and drastically reduced to 9% (constant) for the remaining 3 younger age brackets (16-24, 24-35 and 35-50). The school certificate which was the least popular had the highest population of 20% in the following age brackets (16-24, 35-50 and 50-75), while age 24-35 made 15% and 75+ was only 3%.
In addition, a rather similar population range for both men and women was reflected in the pie chart which is evident in the very close percentage margin for the academic levels under review. For the school certificate, both gender had the same proportion of 33% while the other two educational qualifications had just 3% margin as disparity for each.
Sorry I don’t comment on writing. However, I will say – you are aiming for between 170 and 190 words. Part of the marking criterion of Task Achievement is your ability to select information. This means a lower band score is characterised by someone who gives too much detail. You’ve written over 300 words!!
The bar graph and pie chart illustrates the degree of educational attainment by gender in Glasgow, Scotland in 2019.
In general, it is evident that people without qualifications was inversely proportional to those that have earned a degree in college and school certificates. In addition to that, apparently males have a higher percentage of earning their university degrees as compared to women.
The bargraph displays that a majority of people have earned their university degrees in glasgow apart from those aged 75 and above, the level started from 71, had a slight increase to 76 before it constantly declined and ultimately ended up with only 25. People with school certificates began with 20, fell by 5, and remained constant from ages 35 to 75 then plummeted with only 3. People without qualifications seem to increase with age from a constant 9 to a peak of 72 in ages 75 and above.
Moreover, the piechart shows that men have a Higher percentage of gaining university degrees than women with 32% and 29% respectively. A big chunk of both genders earned their school certificates with 33%. Women in all ages is seen to have a higher percentage of those without qualifications than men with 38% and 35% respectively. (207)
Hi madam,
I wrote the report as it is required, How much band score it is deserved for?
This bar charts and pie charts illustrates percentage of people in Glagow who have tree different type of education qualification (University degree, School certificate and No qualification) according to the age and gender respectively.
Overall, the youngest age group( age of 16- 24 and 24-35) have higher percentage of University degree, while oldest people who are in majority of no qualification, and men and women showed analogous proportion in all format of qualification,but there is a little different in percentage.
Further, more than 70% of people in the age group of 16- 24, 24- 35 and 35- 50 are having University degree, in the mean while 50% is indicated by the age group of 50-75 .However people who are aged more than 75 years old showed 25% University degree.Then this trend is reversed for no qualification in which 9% and 72% for age group of 16-24 and more 75 respectively.School certificate remains pretty much constant as 20% except older people who has 3% .
Moreover, men and women imply relatively same proportion in every in every qualification but there was 3% different in University degree and no qualification between men and women while school was stable in both.
you are good
i write my answer on a word doc and i cant re-type it again how can i send it to you??????????????????/
I don’t mark writing.
well, there is a mistake in third para, it should be- ‘aged 50-75’, and second mistake in last para- slightly to ‘slight’
Check the answers on the page above. Click on the word “Answers”.
Hi Liz
Thanks for this beneficiary tool.
I heard that the words which are used once are not counted again?
Looking for a revert
Thanks
Words are counted in the normal way – each word is one word. “a man walked into a shop” = 6 words.
Liz u gotta chill…it was just a doubt
A completely illogical one. But yes, I need to chill 🙂
Hi Liz. After a full stop can we start a sentence with “BUT”?
“But” is a conjunction between two sentences. It is not used to start a sentence in formal writing. See the linking words on this page: https://ieltsliz.com/ielts-writing-task-2/
Hi Liz,
How the words are count? (I mean I, a, it, is, this, of… and numbers are counted like words?)
Thanks for your lessons!
All words are counted regardless of their length.
Can we use this abbreviation “i.e.,” to explain?
It is best to show the examiner a range of language: for example, such as, namely, for instance. See this page: https://ieltsliz.com/ielts-writing-task-2/
Thank you, Liz.
just now I found your website. I feel, I have a guide now.
God Bless You for doing this amazing work
Hi Liz,
Thanks for the wonderful tips,
just a quick question, I am a little bit confused here! In the above sample the writer has given an overall view in paragraph 2 and then the details in following paragraphs. is this a correct practice? I thought we put the summary in the last paragraph. I would appreciate if you clarify that.
Best
Learn about paragraphing on this page: https://ieltsliz.com/ielts-writing-task-1-lessons-and-tips/
Thanks heaps.
I noticed that you were sick late last year…hope you feel better nowadays.
Regards
Hi Liz, can I get a link of IELTS exam pass papers in 2018 plz…
IELTS have not published them.
Okay Liz, thank you very much…
Dear Liz,
It is written in the brackets of paragraph 3 “(9% in younger people rising to 75% in the oldest age group)”. Shouldn’t it be 72% as it is shown in the bar chart or Do I get something wrong?
Thanks a lot for your help,
Muhammed
Well spotted 🙂
Hi Liz,
can I confirm that using brackets like yours will not be penalized/ignored?
Thanks in advance!
It is fine to use brackets in writing task 1. See my model answers: https://ieltsliz.com/ielts-writing-task-1-lessons-and-tips/
I saw your last sentence using (didn’t have). I thought (did not have) was the only sentence would be accepted by examiner compared to didn’t have.
Please read the page above carefully. The page is about spotting mistakes and the answers are given below the model answer.
Thanks Liz for your good work.
In the writing the tasks on the writing sheets, do we have to leave a line line between paragraphs
See this page: https://ieltsliz.com/should-i-indent-my-paragraphs-in-ielts-writing/ and then review all the links on this page: https://ieltsliz.com/ielts-writing-task-2/
Hello Liz,
Thanks for such a wonderful and helpful website. I want to know that is this necessary that we have to include all the percentages or numbers mentioned in the graph for a various property during our writing. like do we have to provide numbers/percentages of all the properties mention in the graph. or just we have to mention the percentages/number of the extreme values.
Regards
Muneez
You can’t ignore a category. But whether you will present all data relating to that category is something you decide when you look at the chart or table. You must decide if you will present it all or if you will group information together.
Dear Liz, could you please advise whether it is critical to use the printed letters instead of capital when writing an essey?
It is possible to write your essay using all capital letters but it is NOT recommended.
Good evening teacher
I have a question is the pie chart and the bar graph the same ? I need to know
Regards,
Salem Alkaabi
See this page: https://ieltsliz.com/ielts-writing-task-1-lessons-and-tips/
Why can’t we use contractions in writing task ?
IELTS writing is formal – contractions are not used in formal writing.
For eg if 2 different graphs are given with one pie chart describing the trends in 2000 and another table describing trends in 2005 then can we compare this pie chart and table and write a body paragraph???
Hello liz,
I think that in first line itself there is a mistake, it should have been ‘illustrates’ instead of ‘illustrate’, right?
And one more thing, while writing in paragraphs, each para should start on next line with some space left blank at starting of the the para right?
The verb is correct. It = illustrates / They = illustrate.
To learn about empty lines and indenting see this page: https://ieltsliz.com/should-i-indent-my-paragraphs-in-ielts-writing/
Then see my writing task 1 main page: https://ieltsliz.com/ielts-writing-task-1-lessons-and-tips/
I really appreciate your effort.
Thank you very much.
thanks Liz.
I want to know that is your practice test are according to every country order or its related to uk conditions because my ilets tution teacher is suggesting me to write conclusion in task1????
The examiner is looking for an overview in task 1 and a conclusion in task 2. This is clearly defined in the band score descriptors published by IELTS which is the same for every country and has never changed.
Thankyou .
I know that stating an overview in the middle of the essay is completely wrong, but does writing the overview in the last paragraph rather than the second affect the band score?
You can put the overview after the introduction or at the end – both places are fine.
Hi Liz,
I have been told by my tutor that the overall is written at the end, as the last paragraph, but i see here that you always write it after the introduction.
Could you tell me which way is right?
Thanks very much.
In IELTS, you are marked on a logical order of information. In writing task 1, you can present your key features after the introduction or at the end of the report. It is more logical to present key features before smaller details. However, both locations are accepted by IELTS.
Hello Liz. Firstly, thank you so much for all the content that you share. It is all so useful.
Secondly :-), I would like to know if I can write first the writing task 2 and second the writing task 1. Thank you so much.
You can use the one hour as you wish. It is your time to manage. If you want to do task 2 first, you can. I personally don’t recommend it because students tend to use too much time on task 2 and then don’t have enough time on task 1. But this is your test and you decide what works for you 🙂
I find task 2 easier than task 1, and it is worth a higher score I think. So I’m doing task 2 first.
nouns should be written in capital or what in ielts listening
Red=red
Electricity=electricity
Biology=biology
You can use capital letters in any way you want in listening – they are not marked at all.
Hi, Liz 🙂 I think there is a mistake in the 2nd paragraph “the majority of people with university education were”. I suggest it is “was” because the subject is just a proportion or percentage “majority”, Right?
I’m very glad you are thinking about grammar. See this page to learn more about this grammar issue: https://jakubmarian.com/majority-is-vs-majority-are-collective-nouns-in-english/
Appreciate it Liz 🙂
Many thanks for the useful resource!
Dear Liz,
Many thanks for your informative and inspirational insights into the IELTS. While going through your comments on the grammatical error on a paragraph; I realized that we’ve been using short forms of negation since ages. Such as didn’t instead of did not, shouldn’t instead of should not etc etc. So, will it lead to marks deduction in IELTS? Thank you for your answer so that I may not do this mistake.
Regards
I think you are referring to using contractions, for example it is = it’s. You can use contractions in speaking – it’s a good idea because they are a pronunciation features and will help your score. However, you should NOT use them in IELTS writing.
Thank you so much. I did not know that. From your classes on speaking session i gained a knowledge regarding use of didn’t isn’t i’d to improve the band score…. But here its other way round. Thanku so much liz
Me, too! I only know it recently and had used contractions in my writing for many years when none of my teachers at school mentioned this kind of mistakes. They are even in model answers on our high school papers. OMG…
Thank you so much, Liz, you are indeed a great help to all of us trying to pass the IELTS. I am very much convinced that with a lot of practice, getting techniques from the experts like you and with God’s favor, according to His will, we will pass. We may not pay you dear, but the Lord who sees your kindness will reward you thousand folds.
Thank you so much for your kind comment. I really appreciate it 🙂 Lots of luck in your test !! 🙂
Hi Liz.
I want to ask about the words in this task 1.
Aren’t 198 words too many for task 1?
Most task 1 will be between 170 and 190 words. There is no upper limit but you don’t want to add too much detail. And certainly lower level students should not aim for a longer report.
First of all, I would say many thanks for your useful guidance.
Could you please tell me, what kind of tense is better to use for writing task 1?!
Can we use perfect tense for this part?!
You use appropriate tenses. Past tense for charts in the past, present tense when no dates are given. You use passive voice or perfect tenses only when they are right and appropriate to use.
When I watch your video or navigate through your website, I become very hopeful. The moment I watch a video from British council I become anxious and feels a sense of doom.
Then keep watching my videos 🙂 Make sure you get a clear understanding of the test – confusion is probably the most common problem people have with IELTS. See this page: https://ieltsliz.com/ielts-help-faq/. Go through each of the main pages accessed through the red bar on my website at the top. Prepare ideas for topics, follow recent topics so you know what is trending in IELTS: http://www.ieltsliz.com/recent-ielts-questions-and-topics.

Dear Liz,
I would give some feedback on my answer version that I know what it is because of a wish a good score.
The two graphs tell us about education levels by varieties of age and gender in Glasgow, in Scotland, in 2010. The pie chart shows the separation of the gender. The list of figures presents the age difference. We can see that the range of gender is very balanced though the figures of age is contrary to.
About one third of people finished University and belongs to the ca. 73% of working-aged part and to the half of the 50 to 75 years old ones, do not speak of the one fourth of the group of more than 75. The second third of the people has got scholar certificate and they belong to the 20% of all ages, except the 3% of the more than 75. The third 30% has no qualification and is 16 to 75 years old.
We can say that the younger people recognise the importance of the learning and the woman can be able to keep pace with the men in the world of education.
Avoid using “we”. Don’t use “the graph tells us” use “the graph illustrates”. Also make sure you start your overview with “Overall” – it helps the examiner locate your overview statement.
Thank you, Liz for your sent feedback. I shall use ‘I should say that the younger…’ instead of we, and at the begining the ‘overall’ to help the examiner put my survey statement and won’t write ‘tell’ rather illustrate or show. Thank you again.
Could you say circa how many scores I should receive for my original answer and the corrected one?
Don’t write “I should say that” – you don’t add opinions. Task 1 is not an essay. It is a report where you present the data provided. “Overall, younger people …”
The charts illustrate the proportion of people in Glasgow with different levels of education. This proportion is divided on the basis of age and gender.
The percentage of people with university degree was up to 73% among the younger age group. This was 50% with 50-75 age group and 25% with people above the age of 75. The percentage of school education was between 15-20 with the youngest age group and those ages 50-75. This figure was as low as 3% with those ages above 75. In the category of people with no qualifications, this trend was reversed, in which younger age groups recorded 9%, those with 50-75 had 30% and 72% for the oldest.
The proportion of education levels of men and women in all the three categories was more or less similar. The rate of school education was 33% among both the genders. 32% of men and 29% women were graduates with a university degree. As far as the unqualified are concerned, women outnumbered men with 38 – 35%.
Overall, people with a university degree were the highest among youngsters, while majority of the elderly were unqualified. When it comes to gender,both the group had almost more or less equal level of education.
Hi Ma’am,
It’s is going to be helpful for those who are going to sit in IELTS now and then.

Very well done! That’s really good news. Band 8.5 in speaking is excellent 🙂
Hi Liz,
There are teachers giving various advices on writing tasks, some tells we need to write a summery after task one, some tells “No i am updated…, dont write a summery, what should i do? As IELTS check english , will it change the band score weather i write the summery or not?
Read the band score descriptors which IELTS have published. They clearly show that the examiner is looking for an overview in task 1 and a conclusion in task 2.
Yep. It says “presents a clear overview.”
Hi Liz,
Thanks for your guide and information. It helped me a lot on my IELTS exam however I didn’t do well on reading. Can I still take another exam? And how will my 1st take affect my 2nd take where I only need to pass is the Reading.
Thank you and keep inspiring us..

When you take the test again, you will get all new results. This means that you might get lower or higher in any part of the test. Some students get 6.5 in writing in one test but only 6 in the second test. After the second test, you will have two test results. You can chose which set of results to use for your future.
Hi madam, I started watching your video lesson and trying to reduce of making mistakes. Those videos are really helpful. Am very thankful for your tips and advises… I have a question im my mind i.e about general test writing task 1 question types. can u give details please.
See this page: https://ieltsliz.com/ielts-letter-writing-essential-tips/ and also the model answers for GT task 1 on this page: https://ieltsliz.com/ielts-writing-task-1-lessons-and-tips/
Is there any one willing(for free) to evaluate my essay ? I am not confident on my writing skill, and i have only 1 month for the preparation of my ielts exam. I must have an ielts score of 6.5+ to be admitted in the university which i plan to apply. any suggestion and tips ? thanks
Same situation here
Use the Grammarly app…I suggest availing the premium account. It helps a lot to check grammatical errors and other advanced issues. Visit http://www.grammarly.com….I‘m also IELTS taker, I do self-study at home only.

What can i do else to contact you??

Thank you very much liz for your well crafted lessons.You are my heroine.Since i started following lessons,my level of confidence has risen dramatically.God bless yu.
I’m glad to hear your confidence is rising 🙂
Thanks Liz, it was so nice of you teaching in best method with more kindness,
In paragraph A, should it be …”but was as low as 3% among the over 75s” ? I mean should we add the word “among”?
Using the word “among” would be excellent and would, in fact, improve the sentence. Well done!
this task came in 3rd December exam in UK
