hello guy welcome back to my youtube
channel. This is K.J. speaking and today
I'm glad to share you guys how to write a
band 7 in IELTS Writing Task 1. Today's
topic is pie chart which I'm gonna focus
on movement Data. So now let's begin!
To begin with, let's have a quick look at
an action plan. Here, there are three
steps. Step one-task and data's analysis,
step two-
data classification, step three-
writing. All of these steps I'm going detail
one by one Later. So now let' s move on.
Now, let's move to the action plan. As
previously mentioned, there are three
steps to follow. First and foremost is
step one-task and data analysis, which is
the pre-writing stage. Let's have a look
at the exercise. For timescales, it is
the movement data because there are two time
periods here:
2010 and 2014. So, the tenses might be
used here are past simple,
present simple,future simple & future perfect. Turning to subject of data, it is
populations in two countries. Next is type of chart, they are pie charts. Concerning
unit,  unit here is in percent. Then regarding the number of charts, there are
4 given charts and each one was represented distribution of population
in different years and country. Lastly is
the legend. As you can see, in the
illustration, there are three legends
representing age groups: 0 to 14 years, 15
to 59 years and 60 plus years. Alright, let's precede to the next step.
 
step 2-data classification. There are
three crucial item here trends, grouping
and exceptions.
First of all, trends. Trends are the general
image that tell the reader what happen to the chart in general. In the exercise,
there are three trends. 1. In Country A, it will see rises in population in two mature groups:
15-59 years and 60 plus year, but 
a decline in the low-age (0-14 years).
2. In Country B, it will see falls in population among the two young groups:
0-14 years and 15-59 years, but a rise in the oldest (60 plus years)
3. Over the years, Country A will have had higher proportions of
young population than Country B. Turning to grouping, grouping means the way we
group or categorize all similar or relevant elements into one group/category.  In this
exercise,  in this exercise, there are 3 different groups: the 1st group is Country A. The second
group the second and the third group
is comparison between country A and B in
Both years. Finally, the exceptions. The
exceptions refer to all things that out
of group or different from other in the
group. In the exercise, there are two exceptions. The
the falling trend in 0-14 years population in Country A and the
2nd is the rising trend in the 60+ years in Country B. Well, let's move
to the next step!
 
Step 3 writing. Here, I divided the writing task into four sections:
introduction, trends, features and summary. First, let's begin with the introduction!
To utilize time efficiently, your introduction should be merely a paraphrase
of the question. Please keep it short and precise. Let's learn how to write a
straightforward introduction all together. The question is The charts belows
information about 
the populations of two countries: A and B in 2010 and 2040 (projections) split by
ages. So how did I paraphrase this? I paraphrased it as The pie charts compare
distributions of populations from two nations by ages in different years. As seen, I
employed other words, yet still maintain an identical meaning to the question:
e.g., I used the words pie charts instead of charts. I used the word compare instead
of give.
I used the words distributions of
populations instead of information about the populations. I used the words from two
nations instead of of two countries: A and B and finally I used the words different years
instead of of 2010 and 2040 (projections)
 
Alright, now let's move to trends.
Trends are what the charts show in general. Here is how I write the
general  trend.  Overall, Country A will have had far higher proportions of
young citizens than Country B. Over these years, Country A will see a remarkable rise
in two mature groups, but a marked decline in the low-age. However, Country B will
experience a significant fall in two young groups, yet a sharp climb in the oldest. You
see, I included all three trends: Comparison between Country A & B, trends in Country
A between 2010 and 2040 & trends in Country B between 2010 &
2040.
 
Next, main features. Here are some strategies to deal with pie charts with
movement data. 1st you should focus your writing on one specific item or
category before moving to another. Then in each item/category, you should begin your
writing from the early to the late period orderly. Next, please remember to
to include trends over period such as
rising, falling, constant or fluctuating.
As always, please 
present data from the most to the least significance
orderly, so readers will find it easier to follow. Also try to include both grouping
and exceptions into the report. The last
tip is to compare the trend across the
items or categories where relevant.In this exercise, I will start the writing with country A,
first by kicking off the early year. Then I will present data from the highest
to lowest: 50%, 45% and 5% serially.  Similarly, I will precede to
the 2040 projections such as 56%, 35% & 9% by
including trends over this period in each age range, with rising trend for 15 to 59 years and
30 plus years & falling for 0 to 40 years.
Follow the analogous pattern, in country
B, I will first describe the 2010's data such as 60%, 27% and 13%
consecutively and by 2040 such
as 47%, 43% and 10%
with decreasing pattern in two young
groups and rising in 60 plus.
Lastly, I will make comparisons between
these two countries over years.
 
The 1st main feature is Country A.  As you can see, I used clear openings in
Country A and in 2010 to guide readers what and when I was writing about. Then I
arranged the figures orderly from the highest to lowest with proper linking devices and
and word use. While continuing to describe 2040's figures, I used the
sentence connector Nonetheless to alert
the readers that the proportion will
change over the year. Beside describing data in order from 56% all the way to
9% I tried to include trends
between these two years. As it turn out, the
youngest group shows a stark contrast to
other. One takeaway from the section
is remember to show the trends over the
periods such as rising, falling, constant
or fluctuating.
 
The second main feature is country B.
Follow a similar strategy to the
previous one, I used  clear openings
turning to country B and in the beginning
to signalize the readers' attention to
move to the next category in 2010 period.
in 2010 I presented data from 60%
to 13% orderly with playful
use of advanced vocabulary such as a slim majority, residents, stand at, come
closer and the least proportion. Then I moved on to the next period by using the words
predicted time rather than 2040. Moreover, in each age range, I always show the
trend with a wider range of word use such as diminish dramatically, approximately
doubling and marginal curtailment. Among these, the senior is an exception because
it showed a rising trend, while others appeared decreasing. One take away from
this section is to use an abundant of advanced vocabulary.
 
The third main feature the comparisons
between country A to B. To be clear here, I
first compared both countries in 2010 and
then in 2040. As you can see, in 2010
Country A's population was roughly
dominated by two young categories, while in
Country B, the mid-range topped the chart,
followed by the senior and the young had
a tiny fraction. By 2040, Country B's
population will be fairly contributed by
two adult groups, whereas much younger in Country A. One takeaway from this section is
remember to make comparisons not only in the internal item or category but also
across the item or categories where relevant.
 
Finally, the last part of a report writing is a summary. In a report writing,
if you fail to include trends earlier or your trends are not fully covered the
general image of the given charts, you should utilize the summary section
to recap the key general trends of the given charts. Nonetheless, in this practice, since the general
trend is clearly presented, it is not much worth writing a summary; rather, you
you should utilize the remaining time to double-check grammatical errors and sentence
structures.
OK, now let's have a look at my full-length writing sample. Please pause the video to
read it and identify how I approached this task effectively.
 
Well, now it's time to recap all the
takeaways from this video. First of all, in
terms of task achievement. 1. Try to
paraphrase the question
using synonyms, word links and collocations to convey the original meaning.
2. Since this question contains lots of information, try to compare and
contrast as much as you can under time constraint. Do not be afraid to exceed the
maximum word limit up to 100 words as long as you are able to
demonstrate your high quality writing.
Secondly, in terms of coherence and cohesion.
1. the general trend might draw a general
image of the given charts. 2. Never flip
flop your writing. Be focused on clear
descriptions by describing from the most
to the least significant orderly.
Third,Lexical resource. Try to maximize
your vocabulary band and practice
them more frequently so that you would be able to show off your band 7
plus vocabulary in an actual test.
You may learn to broaden your IELTS  Writing
Task 1 vocabulary by classifying each word into list or group as you can see
the following sample.
 
Last but not least is grammatical range
and accuracy. 1. Be aware of tense use.
Here we used past simple to describe  past event in 2010. Future simple to
describe the protections in 2040 and
future perfect to describe continuation
to the future event. 2. Minimize
the misuse of a, an, the and plural
nouns.
Well, now it comes to the end of this section. Thank you so much for watching.
See you later.
