IELTS Writing Task 1 question
The charts below give information about a public library in a town called Little Chalfont.
Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.
Student answer (Band 6.5)
The presented charts elucidate comparisons between data in 2016 at Little Chalfont Library: the number of library user by age and the number of loans by different genres (in percentages), and information about the total number of loans from 2007 to 2016, measured in thousands.
Overall it is immediately apparent that those aged 18-64 had the highest figures for library members in 2016. In addition, children’s fiction and adult fiction had the highest. Between 2007 and 2016, the general trend was for the loans to maintain a steady trajectory.
At the outset, we can see the data for age of library members that adults 18-64 accounted for 51%. Following this, young adults 13-17 stood at 22%. Moreover, young adults (13-17) stood at 15%, elderly people (65 and over) were listed at 12% (the lowest recorded).
Turning to categorized loans in 2016, children’s fiction and adult fiction represented similar shares at 38%. Adult non-fiction and children’s non-fiction accounted for 13% and 6%, respectively. Then, young adults and adult audio books had the same percentages at 2%. Lastly, children’s DVDs recorded just at 1% (the lowest shown).
Looking at the trend of total number of loans from 2007 to 2016, the figures for loans in 2007 accounted for around 16,000, and increased gradually by 2011 to 22,000. Afterwards, they witnessed a downward trend to 19,000 by 2013. Lastly, the total of loans showed slight growth steadily, rising to 23,000 in 2016.

Task Achievement / Task Response — Band 6.5
Anda telah berhasil mengidentifikasi fitur utama dari ketiga bagan dan memberikan perbandingan yang relevan. Ringkasannya jelas dan mencakup tren utama. Namun, ada ketidakkonsistenan kecil dalam pelaporan data Anda: Anda menyebutkan 'young adults 13-17' dua kali dengan persentase yang berbeda (22% dan 15%), yang membingungkan bagi pembaca. Selain itu, pastikan semua poin data disalin dengan akurat. Secara keseluruhan, Anda telah memenuhi persyaratan tugas dengan baik dengan memilih dan melaporkan informasi yang paling signifikan.
Coherence and Cohesion — Band 6.5
Respons disusun secara logis dengan pendahuluan, ringkasan, dan paragraf isi yang jelas untuk setiap bagan. Anda menggunakan berbagai perangkat kohesif seperti 'At the outset', 'Turning to', dan 'Lastly' untuk memandu pembaca melalui data. Pembuatan paragraf digunakan secara efektif untuk memisahkan kumpulan informasi yang berbeda. Meskipun alurnya umumnya lancar, beberapa transisi antar kalimat bisa lebih canggih untuk menghindari kesan yang agak mekanis. Secara keseluruhan, informasi disajikan dengan cara yang koheren dan mudah diikuti.
Lexical Resource — Band 6.0
Anda menunjukkan rentang kosakata yang cukup untuk menyampaikan informasi dengan jelas. Frasa seperti 'maintain a steady trajectory', 'witnessed a downward trend', dan 'accounted for' sudah tepat untuk respons Academic Task 1. Ada beberapa masalah kecil dengan pilihan kata, seperti 'categorized loans' dan 'recorded just at', yang terasa sedikit tidak alami. Namun, kosakatanya cukup tepat untuk mengomunikasikan data secara efektif tanpa kebingungan. Anda telah menggunakan campuran kata kerja pelaporan dan kata benda yang baik terkait dengan analisis data.
Grammatical Range and Accuracy — Band 6.0
Anda menggunakan campuran struktur kalimat sederhana dan kompleks, seperti penggunaan klausa relatif dan frasa partisipial (contoh: 'rising to 23,000 in 2016'). Meskipun ada beberapa kesalahan tata bahasa kecil, seperti 'the number of library user' (seharusnya bentuk jamak 'users') dan 'recorded just at 1%', kesalahan ini jarang terjadi dan tidak menghambat komunikasi. Kontrol Anda terhadap tanda baca dan struktur kalimat umumnya baik, sehingga memungkinkan penyajian data statistik yang jelas.
