Looking from an overall perspective, it is readily apparent that the percentages for women, children, and men all rose over the period, however women achieved the highest numbers throughout. The relative increase for children was modest. Women began the period with 20% consuming more than five portions of vegetables and fish per day and this figure was stable until 2013 when it began to rise and almost double to eventually reach a high of 36% in 2016, before a fall to 30% to end the period. The number for males finished slightly lower at 26%, however their growth was steadier, rising each year (besides 2016) from a starting point of 16% in 2011. The figures for children were much lower to begin with at 10%, preceding a relative surge to 14% the next year. Percentages then fluctuated around 14% and finished at a peak of 15% by the end of the period.

Here's an example Task 1 Essay for General IELTS: QUESTION: LETTER TO A MANAGER You recently attended a conference and would like to give a presentation to your colleagues about it. Write a letter to your manager and include the following: • The topic of the conference you attended • Why you want to do the presentation • When you would like to do it ANSWER: Dear Lisa, How are you? I am writing because I recently attended a conference while I was out of town last week on the topic of ‘Marketing in the Digital Age’. The conference pooled together a collection of researchers, influencers, and corporate figures who shared novel strategies and developments taking place recently. I would like to do a presentation for all the employees at our office because I feel what I learned was pertinent to our current transition. We are increasing our social media presence, and the majority of our marketing budget is now online but many of my colleagues are not up to speed with changes in the field. My suggestion is at the next all-staff meeting, I can take a ten minute slot before or after lunch to go over the key points. It should not take much longer than that as I can send out my notes and some research articles by email afterwards. Let me know if you think this is a viable idea. Regards, Abdul

The bar graph details the changes in travel habits by mode of transport in the years 1990 and 2000 in the UK. Looking from an overall perspective, it is readily apparent that the rise in total figures over the period was a result of increases from rail, bus, and air, as bicycle and motorbike usage actually fell. The most common forms of travel were by far, bus and rail. Looking first of all at the two leaders, bus use accounted for precisely 40 kilometres per week in 1990, before a small increase of about 5% to about 42 by 2000. Rail travel was lower in both periods at roughly 36 and 38km, respectively. The lesser used modes of transport were all below 5km per week. Travel by bicycle started at about 2 and halved to 1km, while motorbike usage also halved from an estimated 4 to 2km. Finally, air travel in 1990 was just above 1km but quadrupled to about 4km per week per person by 2000. Overall totals constituted 100km in 1990 and a subsequent 110km by the end of the surveyed period, indicating an overall increase in travel of 10%.
