Writing for IELTS I'm considering taking IELTS. Though I haven't made my decision yet, I thought that I might as well study for it from now. Even if I decide on not to take the test, the studying will still do me some good. There are a lot of points that I need to improve regarding my English proficiency. WRITING TASK 1 The chart shows the percentage of male and female teachers in six different types of educational setting in the UK in 2010. Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant. This is the exam practice text that I wrote. ----- The bar chart represents the percentage of male and female teachers in the UK in 2010/ The data was taken from six different types of educational institutions. There is a striking difference between the number of male and female teachers in the university. Men holds 75 percent of the whole occupation. On the other hand, women dominate the workplace in nursery/pre-school and primary school. The difference is noticeably higher; women fill almost 100 percent of the job. In secondary school, college, and private training institute, the numbers do not differmuch. In college, male and female teachers are in equal number, while in secondary school and private training institute, the number only differ by less than 10 percent. By looking at the chart, we can see that inequality in the number of male and female teachers exists in nursery/pre-school, primary school and university. ----- After I finished writing, I read the model answer, and realized my mistake. I merely describe the chart, while the model answer provides the main features in the chart. The model answer tells that women predominate in the educational institutions for young children, while men predominate in the higher-level institutions (such as university). I might have done other mistakes, maybe in word choices or grammar. I intend to improve by practicing regularly.
