ietls writing task 1 This is an attempt to complete IELTS writing task 1. I was given a graph, and here they are my comments: The given line graph illustrates how the numer of elderly people has evolved in Japan, Sweden and USA throughout the period from 1940 to 2040. Overall, there has been a general rise in the elder population, but while Sweden and USA presents a gradual trend upward, the Japanese percentage has gone up incredibly fast in the later years. In 1940 all countries showed similar quantities of elderly people intheir population. Japan, with its 5%, and USA with its 9%, presented the biggest difference. Since then USA and Sweden has evolved similarly. They elder people percentage grew gradually, with USA keeping a slightly superior number until 1980, when its percentage levelled off, being overtaken by Sweeden in 2000. American percentage started to grow again in 2020, but they never outnumered Sweden again, that finished the period wit a figure of elder people just over 25% (against the American 23%). Japan, instead, suffered a dip after 1940, and carried on falling until the late 80's, when their percentage of elder population resumed its growth. In 2030, this percentage grew substantially fast, overtaking all the other countries and reaching a peak of 27% in 2040.
