bar graph/line graph
by: Anonymous

The author may have been using the original question from a book of past papers.

One of my students is working with this line graph, and the question includes a bar graph showing consumption by different income levels.

So, the answer is correct, but the image is only half there.

Australian Fast Food Consumption

by Ala
(Oxford United Kingdom )


The graph illustrates, the changes in Consumption of fast food by the Australian Teenagers, including three types of food, Pizza, Fish and chips and Hamburgers, between 1975 and 200 . A period time of 25 year.

In 1975, there was an increase in each of Pizza and Hamburgers except the Fish and Chips went down. In 1980, It's still the same as before, for the Pizza and Hamburgers expect Fish and Chips still dropped down slowly as which shows in the graph. From 1985 to 1990 the Fish and Chips decline for about 30 per-cent and Pizza and Hamburgers still rise From 20 per-cent to 40 per-cent for Pizza and 57 per-cent for Hamburgers which demonstrates in the graph below. From 1995 to 2000 as we see the Pizza and Hamburgers still steady remains as the same number of times eaten per year. I think if the people didn't make any solution for this problem may Fish and Chips well not go make again.

1. Lack a clear overview
2. The language used in IELTS writing should be formal, meaning no contraction ( it's -> it is)

3. "I think if the people didn't make any solution for this problem may Fish and Chips well not go make again." This sentence is incomprehensible. Moreover, personal pronounce should be avoided in IELTS writing .

4. Missed key features, like which type of fast food was the most popular, least popular, and how they changed over the years.

the pie chart illustrates the food budget spendon restraurants and home cooked meals in percentage during aspan of 40 years from 1970 to 20000.

while the line graph compares the number of meals eaten either in fast food eataries or sitdown restaurants during the same span of period from 1970 to 20000.

in the pie chart during 1970, the budget spend on restaurants meals used to be 10% rose drastically to 50% by year2000 .though during 1980 there was a increase of only 5% in food budget on restaurants meals,it increased by more than double in the following 10 years reaching 35% . In this chart we can see that home cooked meals are becoming less favourable over restaurants tough there is hike in budget allowance.

in the line graph , during 1970 both the fastfood and sitdown restaurants meals enjoyed same number of meals around 20 per year.till 1980 both these eateries showed slight gain around 30 meals per year.By 1990 the trend changed , the fast food gained more popularity n sky rocketed in its numbers reaching 80 meals per year.the sit down restaurants also faired well in numbers but could reach 50 meals per year.

Fast Food

by isabelle

The line graph illustrates the fast food consumption by Australian teenagers between the years of 1975 and 2000. In overall, hamburger and pizza consumption shows almost parallel increase with slight changes.

To begin with, it can be said that fish and chips consumption is the only component as fast food that decreases rather than pizza and hamburger. Other than the slight increase between 1980 and 1985, apparently Australian teenagers reduces eating fish and chips. There is an obvious and drastic difference comparison to the other fast food lines in the chart.

secondly Hamburger is the most favorite fast food of young adults especially between the years of 1975 and 1985. after 1985, hamburger’s popularity seems to be decreased and in the year of 1995 pizza could catch with hamburger's charm.

Also, starting from 1995 hamburger and pizza shows a parallel path way for the next 5 years, however hamburger’s number of eaten times is still higher than the pizza and there is an extreme difference hamburger and fish and chips consumption numbers at the year of 2000.

Finally it is obvious that Australian teenagers like hamburger and pizza way better than the fish and chips.
