Hi Lilie, Its late to comment by now, but your videos helped me to gain a 7.5 for writing and an overall of 8., Thank you very much for your methodical and clearly structured lessons!

[@dieungocnguyen2954]

And I gotta say, the main reason for poor scores in part 1 is mostly BC of the long and repeated sentence structure. Instead of giving a wide range of similarly phrased sentences, you give perfectly to-the-point samples for this part. Truely a savior. Went from 6.0 writing to this, i deeply appreciate your efforts, hope you can extend to other English test courses in the future🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤

The bar chart compares the proportion of weekly income that households spent on eight types of essential goods and services categories in one particular country in the years 1968 and 2018.

The chart illustrates the average percentages of expediture of families in one country weekly in 1968 and in 2018. Overall, majority of spent accounted for food while the minority of money was allocated to fuel and power. An average family in 1968 spent 35% of their income in a week while this rate decreased approximately to 18% which was the sharpest decrease among others. In contrast, housing expenditure experienced one-fifth of the total income in a week and this rate increased almost 20%, compared to food category. Another striking fact that, the money allocated for household goods did not see any change at about 8% in 1968 and 2018. The fuel and power that contributed the least percentage of money allocated for total expenditure saw 10% in 1968 and this rate went down under 5%. Same trend can be seen in clothing and footware category. Regular families spent 10% of their income in clothing and footware and this rate fell by half in 2018.

[@omjwad2661]

Hi Lillie, why did you say the proportion of weekly income, and not the proportions of weekly income in paragraph 1?

[@tenzin0405]

Hi, Lately i have been watching your videos and i really like it , i have one question regarding this chart ,accounting for 55% number of mature people i would love to hear your suggestion , is it okay to write the 1 body paragraph about the year 1968 and on the second paragraph for year 2018?

[@LilieIELTS]

Yes, there is more then one way to report data.

[@gemirygirl7629]

[@priyakaur5232]

The table chart depicts information regarding the both gender who were specialist in four different enterprise namely retailer, health, tourism manufacturing from 1970to 2010. The data is given in percentage. Overall looking at the graph in detail, it is apparent that manufacturing sector had maximum percentage of men whilst retailer had least. Bp1 it is clearly seen that in1970 the highest men was observed in manufacturing sector by 30/ whilst in 1990 and 2000 there had been declined by 5/ . Only 8/ female had been working in the same field however, it Rose to 3/ after a year. In term of retail sector the percentage of male was stood at more than a half whilst, the figure for women remained constant by making the difference of 2/ . approximately 25/ 23/and 21/ women were interested towards this domain respectively. A slight increase was seen in the number of male in the tourism sector to 13/followed by a sharp dwindle which accounted to be one in ten. A tiny fraction of men were specialist in health sector as opposed to 15/ women. Mam give me band score plz

[@sumaiyasiddiqua3860]

Is it line graph like arrow

[@user-ts6vt3te8c]

hello, Lilie, I am a big fan of yours. I wonder if you can answer a small question of mine, which is that is it ok to replace "accounted for 35% of the total expenses" with "35% of the weekly expenses". It would be genuinely nice of you to take a few time to answer my question. Thank you, love you.

[@LilieIELTS]

Hi, it is incorrect to use "total expenses". The percentages of the eight categories do not add up to 100%, which means those families didn't spend all their weekly income. Therefore, total expenditure must be lower than weekly income.

[@user-ts6vt3te8c]

@@LilieIELTS what about weekly expenses??

[@LilieIELTS]

@@user-ts6vt3te8c No, weekly expenses do not equal weekly income. As I already explained, they didn't spend all their income.

Hi, the graph doesn't provide data of a country. It provides data on weekly income. So it is inaccurate to say "depicts the data of a particular country".

Why THE average family ? In introduction

[@LilieIELTS]

The average family is a statistical concept, something we read about when journalists and statisticians wish to talk about typical characteristics. It's better than an average family.

[@heattransfer8003]

The chart gives information about the families’s weekly expenditure in one country between 1968 and 2018. Overall, majority of spent was allocated to food while the fuel and power category contributed the least amount of money among others. Looking into more details, in 1968, 35% of the income was spent for food which was the highest amount of money contributed to weekly spending, while this rate decreased to about 18% in 2018. Also, 10% of money allocated for housing in 1968 and this spending almost got doubled in 2018. Household goods remained constant in fifty-year period at roughly 7.5%. Clothing and footware consisted of 5% of families spending in 1968 and this got doubled in 2018. The other striking fact is that, while the food category contributed the most spending in 1968 at 35%, this category was replaced with leisure spending at about 23% in 2018. Finally, most families allocated their about 8% of their weekly income to transport, and this rate rose to almost 15% in 2018.

[@harpalsingh4240]

[@May-uo1lw]

The bar chart provides data on the mean weekly expenses of families based on their percentage of income per week in 1986 and 2018. Overall, in 1986 food was the highest expense in one week on average, while any of the other daily necessities were not given much priority. In 2018, however, money spent on leisure took the lead followed by housing. In 1986, 35% of the weekly funds were spent on food, which was the top necessity. Housing, clothing and footware came in second at only 10% of the income used on these commodities. Whilst any of the other items, such as fuel, transport, household and personal goods were all between 6-10% of the income range, with fuel and power being the least important item. In 2018, however, there was a change in the trend, with Leisure being at the top of the list of expenses at 22%, while housing came in second at around 19% of weekly income. Food and Transport were each given 17% and 13% of the funds respectively. Lastly, any of the other items namely, fuel, clothing, household and personal goods were not that popular being only at a range of 4 to 7% of the weekly income.
