IELTS Writing Task 1: Line Graph 5

Annual cinema admissions: by age (United Kingdom)

Writing Tip

Introduction should describe the purpose of the report and say what the overall trends are. For example, if the graph is climbing up or dropping down, you should mention the change or the changes accurately and meaningfully. You need to remember that you are describing a graph to someone who does not see it, so your words must draw the picture. 

Write what the graph is about, its dates and location as well as the right kind of measurements used. You must write in complete sentences. Notes are not acceptable.

You should spend about 20 minutes on this task.

The graph shows annual cinema admissions by age in the UK. 

Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

Write at least 150 words.

  1. The chart presents statistics about cinema attendance in the UK using some details such as ages and
    the period from 1997 to 2009.

    We can notice that number of people aged 45 and over was rose considerably from 19 millions in 1997 to 46 millions in 2008, but after that, the figures fell slightly to 40 million in 2009. We can also mention a similar growth for visitors aged 35-44, whose huge peak of 35 million was at the end of 2001, then the figures were unstable, although there was a significant increase at the end of 2009.By comparison, for those in the 35-44 age group, the overall trend was the only one where we can see sharply decrease between 2004 and 2005.

    Finally, if we talk about the group that goes to the cinema much more than others (this is exactly people of age 15-24), their figures were fluctuating, but still had the highest numbers for the entire period from 1997 to 2009. A serious drop in integers was only in early 2004 and amounted to 50 million, after which growth was again noted.

Finally, if we talk about the group that goes to the cinema much more than others (this is exactly people at the age of 15-24), their figures were fluctuating throughout the whole period, with a serious drop in attendance in 2004 and amounted to 50 million, but rising to 61 million in 2005. After that, the numbers plummeted again to 55 million and show an upward trend to the 63 million at the end of 2009.

      Summing up, all trends are grown dramatically, interest in visiting the cinema increases for all ages, despite the fact that all figures were fluctuating for the whole period.

    2. Good job! The essay has a good structure, all the data is used and all the ideas are fully explained.
      Pay attention to your mistakes: 9 million (without -s), if the numbers are in the past, you have to use past tenses.
