IELTS WRITING TASK 1- LINE GRAPH

Question

Hi! I'm preparing for my IELTS exam. Can you please review my report? Thank you so much! ^^

The line graph illustrates information about how much fish and various kinds of meat, namely chicken, beef and lamb was consumed per person per week in a European country in over a period of 25 years from 1979 to 2004.

In general, while the amount of chicken consumed increased significantly, the opposite was true for the figures for beef, lamb and fish. Meanwhile, the consumption of fish was lowest.

In 1979, the amount of beef consumed was ranked in first place at about 220 grams per person per week, making it higher than the lamb and chicken consumption, at about 150 grams ineach category. Meanwhile, around 60 grams fish was eaten.

Over the period, the amount of chicken which was consumed rose considerably to around 250 grams in 2004. Conversely, the opposite pattern was seen for the figure for beef which dropped significantly to nearby 110 grams by 2004. Likewise, a substantial decrease to approximately 60 grams was seen in the amount of lamb consumed. Similarly, there was a slight fall to under 50 grams in the consumption of fish.

In general, while the amount of chicken consumed increased significantly, the opposite was true for ~~the figures for~~ (They did not consume figures.) beef, lamb and fish. ~~Meanwhile~~, The consumption of fish was lowest throughout the period.

In 1979, the amount of beef consumed was ranked in first place at about 220 grams per person per week, making it higher than the lamb and chicken consumption, at about 150 grams ineach category. Meanwhile, around 60 grams fish was eaten.

That was very good work.

Here is my "model essay" for this line graph. You might pick up some more ideas for your essays.

The line graph compares the amounts of beef, chicken, lamb and fish that people in a European country ate on a weekly basis during a specific 25-year period, 1979 to 2004. The units of measure are grams (of meat) per person per week. The values in the graph range from a low of about 50 to a high of 250.

Overall, there was more variation in the amounts of meat (chicken, beef, or lamb) that people ate than in the amount of fish that they ate. People tended to eat the same amount of fish per week, but it decreased slightly over the period, from a little over 50 grams in 1979, to under that value in 2004.

The values for chicken and lamb consumption started out in 1979 as being nearly the same, (150 grams) but their data had opposite trends; the data for chicken showed an increase and lamb a decrease. The ending values were substantially different: 250 (chicken) and about 60 (lamb). Except for the first two or three years, people ate more chicken than lamb.

The total amount of meat and fish eaten per week was 20% lower at the end of the period than at the beginning (570 versus 450 grams), but the proportion of chicken in their diet nearly doubled, from 36% (220/570) in 1979 to over 75% (250/450) in 2004.
