Overall, even though the proportion of people having their meals at fast food restaurants only once per week was the most significant between 2003 and 2006, it was replaced by a group representing people who ate there either one or two times a month in 2013. Furthermore, the lowest percentage was reached by people eating there on a daily basis.

First of all, in the start of the period, people having fast food once a week stood at just over 30% and rose to around 33% in 2006, after which it experienced a drop to approximately 5% in 2013. In contrast, the group comprised of people who went to restaurants once or twice a month witnessed a decline of 10% between 2003 and 2006. Following this, it surpassed people eating fast food every week by rising to roughly speaking 33% in the final year of the period.

The bar chart illustrates how often the Americans consume fast food in restaurants in the three years (2003, 2006, 2013).

Overall, the highest frequency of people eating in fast food restaurants for 2003 and 2006 was once a week as opposed to one or two times a month which was the highest in 2013, whereas the proportions of people consumed on daily basis or never in restaurants serving fast food accounted for insignificant minorities in a given period.

The percentage of people who ate out in a restaurant weekly showed just above 30% in the first year, which climbed to approximately a third in 2006 and then dropped significantly to about 28% in the final year. Furthermore, there was a growth in the percentage of people eating out several times a week from about 17% in 2003 to one fifth in 2006, which resulted in a decline of nearly 4% in 2013. In contrast, once or twice a month category started at 30%, falling to one fourth in 2006 which rose dramatically to about 33% in 2013.

Regarding the lowest percentages, all the remaining three categories left unchanged in the years 2006 and 2013 (about 3% for every day, 15% for a few times a year and around 4% for never) although every day and never groups were just under 5% and a few times a year group was about 13% in the first year.

No because you don't have a general overview which picks out the key trends of the graph. This will limit your TA score to around band 5. Check out the Task 1 Lessons on this site to make sure you know what you need to do.

Although you have used a good range of vocabulary, there was a mistake in your writing. In ielts writings when we don't have any shares between the percentage we can't compare them and we have to talk about each a little, so it would be great if you were more careful about the tiny tips.

Good luck^^
