IELTS Writing Task 1 question

The bar chart shows the typical weekday for students in three different countries.

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

Student answer (Band 6.0)

As a student from countries which are considered highly progressive when it comes to economic growth, it is observed that students from United Kingdom, Japan and Germany mostly spend their time during weekdays primarily through studying, sleeping, and relaxing. However, it can be notably varrying in which areas of these activities do the students spend more time, depending on the educational needs institutions may require.

First, it is shown in the graph that student population in the United Kingdom treats time allocation to sleeping, studying and relaxing without much gap. In the United Kingdom, students spend 8.5 hours in sleeping, 8 hours in studying and 7 hours in relaxing. This only proves that as much as studying is important for their educational attainment, sleep appears more valuable to them, where relaxing might just mean the same. This is understandable if students in the United Kingdom were taught to value their health due to the fact that rest is a priority by getting enough time to sleep. Relaxing can also contribute to reset their nervous system, freshen up their social battery, store more energy even just by sitting alone. This gives them enough backbone to spend eight hours for studying as they are well-rested within their mind and body.

Meanwhile, Japan is known as one of the busiest countries in the world because of their hustle culture. It is a widely spread information in the internet that people in this country are taught that working and studying is their top priority, leaving lesser time to focus on other aspects of life that should also matter. This is extraneously seen through this graph which shows that students in Japan spends thirteen hours on studying. How they spend significantly lesser time on other aspects of normal individuals is shown by alotting only seven hours for sleep and extremely fewer time for relaxing.

Lastly, students in Germany also knows how to balance time spent on studying alongside other aspects of life such as; sleeping and relaxing. Seen in the graph is how German students spends nine hours for studying, only an hour difference compared to the results from the United Kingdom. German students values sleep and relaxation just as much as as they give importance to their studies.

In conclusion, it is proven that students around the globe are strictly focused on achieving their academic goals. These goals could be stemming from the difference of abilities they wanted to hone or master which can greatly affect their future career and status in life. Asian countries are popular for the hardworking qualities of its people, however, it leaves the fact that, aside from the journery of reaching their dreams to become succesful in the future, students should not foresaken their need to rest and take their time to relax or enjoy life too. Both studying and living everyday can be rigorous and insurmountably stressful, I believe that a successful life is the one where a person does not have to sacrifice their own health, it is composed of a daily living wherein all aspects of life; just as basic as sleeping and relaxing are given time equally.

Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 5.5

Sinasagot ng tugon ang lahat ng bahagi ng gawain sa pamamagitan ng pag-uulat sa mahahalagang katangian ng pagtulog, pag-aaral, at pagpapahinga sa tatlong bansa, at may ilang paghahambing din. Gayunman, nasa antas na ito ang pagtataya dahil nagdagdag ang sumulat ng maraming personal na opinyon at haka-haka na lampas sa pag-uulat ng datos na makikita sa larawan. Halimbawa, ang pagpapaliwanag kung bakit pinahahalagahan ng mga estudyante sa UK ang kanilang kalusugan o ang pag-uugnay sa mga gawi sa pag-aaral ng mga Hapones sa mga pagbabago sa kultura ng internet ay naglilihis sa talakayan tungo sa isang sanaysay na nangangatwiran, sa halip na isang buod na nakabatay lamang sa datos. Bagama’t wastong nabanggit ang ilang mahahalagang bilang—gaya ng 13 oras na pag-aaral sa Japan at 8.5 oras na pagtulog sa UK—dahil sa mga komentaryong haka-haka, hindi datos ang pangunahing pinagtutuunan ng ulat sa kabuuan.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 6.5

Maayos ang kabuuang pagkakaayos ng sanaysay at lohikal ang daloy nito: mula sa panimula, patungo sa mga talatang nakatuon sa bawat bansa, at nagtatapos sa buod na konklusyon. Sapat ang paggamit ng mga talata upang paghiwa-hiwalayin ang mga ideya. Karaniwang malinaw ang pagkakaugnay ng mga pangungusap sa loob at pagitan ng mga talata; ginagamit ang mga panandang gaya ng "First", "Meanwhile", at "Lastly" upang isaayos ang tugon. Gayunman, kung minsan ay nagiging mekanikal ang pagkakaugnay, at may mga pagkakataong nagiging magulo nang bahagya ang pagtukoy sa mga ideya. Halimbawa, sa pangwakas na talata, nagiging masalimuot ang ugnayan ng mga datos at ng personal na payo tungkol sa pamumuhay. Para makamit ang mas mataas na band, kailangang maging mas maayos at mas sopistikado ang mga transisyon, at tiyaking tuwirang iniuugnay sa datos na nasa larawan ang bawat sumusuportang ideya, nang hindi lumilihis sa mga di-tuwirang salaysay.

Lexical Resource: Band 6.0

Sapat ang bokabularyong ginamit para sa gawain at matagumpay nitong naipapahayag ang mahahalagang numerikal na trend. Sinubukan ng sumulat ang mga salitang hindi gaanong karaniwan, gaya ng "progressive", "educational attainment", "hustle culture", at "extraneously seen", bagama’t may ilang bahagyang kamalian o hindi natural na pagsasama ng mga salita (halimbawa, hindi karaniwang angkop ang "extraneously seen" sa paglalarawan ng datos na nasa larawan). Mayroon ding paminsan-minsang pagkakamali sa anyo at baybay ng salita, gaya ng "varrying" sa halip na varying, "alotting" sa halip na allotting, at "foresaken" sa halip na forsake. Hindi naman nakahahadlang ang mga pagkakamaling ito sa pag-unawa, kaya madaling masundan ng mambabasa ang nilalayong kahulugan. Gayunman, pinipigilan ng mga ito ang bokabularyo na maging kasinghusay at katumpak ng kinakailangan para sa mas matataas na band.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 5.5

Pinagsasama sa tugon ang payak at masalimuot na mga anyo ng pangungusap, at sinusubukan nitong gumamit ng iba’t ibang sugnay na pantulong at mga pariralang panimula. Gayunman, nananatili sa buong teksto ang madalas na pagkakamali sa gramatika at bantas. Kabilang sa mga halimbawa ang mga problema sa pagtutugma ng simuno at pandiwa, gaya ng "students in Japan spends" sa halip na spend, at "German students values" sa halip na value. Mayroon ding mga pagkakamali sa pang-ukol at kayarian sa loob ng masalimuot na mga parirala, gaya ng "different of abilities they wanted to hone" at "the fact that, aside from the journery... students should not foresaken". Bagama’t bihirang tuluyang makahadlang sa pag-unawa ang mga pagkakamaling ito, sapat ang dalas ng mga ito—kasama ng mga pagkakamali sa bantas—upang ipakitang hindi pa kontrolado ang gramatika sa antas na walang pagkakamali na inaasahan sa mas matataas na band.
