Model Answers for Two Charts or Graphs in IELTS Writing Task 1. Below you will find combinations of different types of multiple tasks for your writing task 1 report. You can find more examples of multiple tasks in the Main Writing task 1 section of this website (for free).
Multiple Task Tips for Writing Task 1
- Be aware of your word count when you have more than one task. Try not to go over 200 words.
- Because there is a lot of information, you must be careful not to get lost in too much detail. Too much detail lowers your score.
- You probably can’t give all numbers so you must select key features without missing categories.
- The introduction must introduce both tasks. See this free video: How to write an introduction for Writing Task 1
- The overview must have key features of both tasks.
- The body paragraphs will be split between each task.
- Use the right language and linking words suitable for each type of task.
IELTS Multiple Writing Task 1: IELTS Single Pie Chart with Table
Two Chart Model Answer A:
The pie chart illustrates the destination of history graduates from a British university after they finished their undergraduate degree, while the table gives information about the areas of employment they chose and their typical incomes within six years of their graduation.
Overall, the overwhelming majority of history graduates were employed in full-time work, while the lowest percentage of graduates entering part-time postgrad courses. Most graduates were employed as history teachers and the least as archaeologists, with the lowest income. The highest income was those working as a solicitor.
Well over half of all history graduates were in either employed in full-time or part-time work (56% and 15% respectively) as opposed to only 12% who became unemployed. For those on postgrad courses, 7% were on full-time courses and 4% on part-time courses. 6% of graduates had unknown destinations.
Regarding employment, 30% became history teachers with an income of £32,000 , whereas only 9% were employed as historians, earning £49,000. Only 6% worked as archaeologists with an income of £29,000.

Two Charts Model Answer B:
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 under the age of 50 had university education, while for those 75 years old and above, they mostly had no qualifications. The proportions of men and women in all levels of education were similar.
Around 70% of people under 50 years old had university education, dropping to 50% between those aged 50 and 75. However, for people aged 75 and older , it was only 25%. In terms of school certificates, this was 20% or 15% for 16 to 75 year olds as opposed to only 3% in the oldest age group. Most people 75 years old and above, had no qualifications as opposed to only 9% in those under 50 years old.
The proportion of men and women with school certificates was exactly the same (33%). Regarding university certificates, there were 3% more men than women (32% and 29% respectively). Conversely, 3% more women than men had no qualifications (38% and 35% respectively).
Words = 204 (under 200 is ideal, but up to 210 is acceptable if the task has a lot of information. Over that will lower your score)

ALL WRITING TASK 1 MODEL ANSWERS AND TIPS
.
Hi Liz,
For task 1 questions that involve 2 charts, can we put the overview together with the introduction in one paragraph?
Ive noticed that in all the model answers in your 2 charts essays, all the information are being described. I’ve been taught that we are only supposed to choose the most important features to talk about. Should I be describing all the information instead?
Thank you.
The overview is usually a separate paragraph.
Certainly, you should not swamp your writing with every small detail to create a report that is too long. As long as your report is between 170 and 190 words (total max 210 words), then it’s fine. You can review all model answers and tips on this page: https://ieltsliz.com/ielts-writing-task-1-lessons-and-tips/
Thank you!
Hello Liz,
for the second essay, is this introduction valid?
“The bar chart illustrates the educational demographic profile of people in Glasgow, while the pie charts show the gender distribution across these categories in 2010.”
Your introduction does not introduce a key aspect of the task. It fails to introduce the specific categories of education or just how many categories of education there are – choose either one or the other. Certainly, it is great to write about the “educational demographic profile of people” and this will boost your score for vocabulary, but writing task 1 isn’t just about vocabulary, it’s also about presenting full, comprehensive information. Another point is that when it comes to the pie chart, you’ve written “across these categories” – which categories? You didn’t introduce the categories so you can’t refer to them. Remember, never aim to impress, aim for complete accuracy with complete information. Here is your introduction as it should be:
“The bar chart illustrates the demographic profile of people in Glasgow within three educational levels in 2010, while the pie charts show the gender distribution across the same categories in the same year.”
Thank you so much Liz 🙂
Hey Liz is it okay if I paraphrase my introduction like this
The pie chart illustrates six proportions of undergraduate degree courses from a university in the UK history graduates. At the same time, the table provides information about the five employment sectors of these graduates and their average income.
The word “proportions” is a paraphrase for “percentage”. So, we would not write “six percentages of undergraduate degree courses”. We would write “the proportion of people taking six degree courses”.
you are a true angel. God Bless you,
You’re welcome 🙂

Dear Liz,
I do appreciate your generosity and enthusiasm in helping English learners prepare IELTS test. I bought your books on grammar as well as generating ideas, which greatly helped me. Unfortunately, I failed to achieve the desired score, so I will re-sit the test this September.
For the Writing task (1) question types, I noticed there has been a rise in the number of diagrams, processes or airport/ park/ housing change plans that I find hard to answer. I wonder if you can produce these teaching videos for us. Thanks in advance
I’m glad my e-books were useful. You can find model answers to diagrams/processes on this page: https://ieltsliz.com/ielts-writing-task-1-lessons-and-tips/. You’ll also find a model answer for a map as well. I’ll upload more map model answers in the coming weeks.
