Feedback ❗️❗️


Nice 👍 These are both good, and you’re very close to a high-band introduction. Let’s examine them precisely.
🔹 Introduction 1 – Feedback
“The bar chart shows the proportion of men and women aged 18 to 20 who took part in five different activities in 2015.”
✅ Strengths
Very clear and accurate
“took part in” is natural ✔️
Correct tense for past data ✔️
🔧 Small improvement
IELTS usually prefers “aged 18–20” (with a hyphen)
“proportion” is fine, but “percentage” matches bar charts slightly better
✔️ Polished version

The bar chart shows the percentage of men and women aged 18–20 who took part in five different activities in 2015.

🔹 Introduction 2 – Feedback
“The bar chart illustrates the percentage of men and women aged 18-20, participating in five different activities in 2015.”
⚠️ Main issue
The comma is wrong here.
❌ aged 18–20, participating…
This creates a dangling participle and sounds unnatural.
✔️ How to fix it
You need “who participated” or remove the participle.
✔️ Corrected version

The bar chart illustrates the percentage of men and women aged 18–20 who participated in five different activities in 2015.

🏆 Final verdict (examiner-style)
Best original: Introduction #1
Best overall (after correction): either polished version
Estimated band for introduction: 7.5–8

1) The table demonstrates how much people consume three basic foods (rice, wheat, and maize) in four different nations.

2) The table shows how much calories people get from three basic foods in four different countries.

Nice job — both are clear and relevant 👍 Let’s look at them one by one and see how they could be improved for IELTS Task 1.

1️⃣ “The table demonstrates how much people consume three basic foods (rice, wheat, and maize) in four different nations.”

What’s good:

Clear and accurate

Correctly mentions foods and countries

Appropriate academic tone

Issues:

Missing measurement unit (calories per person per day)

Slightly incomplete for Task 1

✅ Improved version:

The table demonstrates the consumption of three basic foods—rice, wheat, and maize—in four different countries, measured in calories per person per day.

2️⃣ “The table shows how much calories people get from three basic foods in four different countries.”

What’s good:

Simple and easy to understand

Mentions calories ✔️

Issues:

Grammar: should be “how many calories”, not how much calories

Doesn’t name the foods

❌ Grammar issue:

“how much calories” → how many calories

✅ Improved version:

The table shows how many calories people obtain from three basic foods—rice, wheat, and maize—in four different countries.

⭐️ Best option (Band 7–8 style)

If you want one strong introduction:

The table illustrates the daily calorie intake from three staple foods—rice, wheat, and maize—among people in four different countries.

2) The bar chart illustrates the proportion of the musical instrument learners at school in 2005, 2010, and 2015.

Nice 👍 You’re clearly improving. Let’s check both introductions carefully.

1️⃣ “The bar chart depicts the percentage of school pupils who learned to play four different musical instruments in 2005, 2010, and 2015.”

What’s good:

Grammatically correct ✅

Mentions percentage, who, what, and when

Very suitable for IELTS Task 1

🔹 Minor improvement (optional):
“learned” → were learning (more natural for describing data)

✅ Polished version:

The bar chart depicts the percentage of school pupils who were learning to play four different musical instruments in 2005, 2010, and 2015.

Band estimate: ⭐️ 7–8

2️⃣ “The bar chart illustrates the proportion of the musical instrument learners at school in 2005, 2010, and 2015.”

What’s good:

Uses academic vocabulary (illustrates, proportion)

Correct tense

Issues:

Sounds a bit unnatural

Doesn’t mention how many instruments

“the musical instrument learners at school” is awkward phrasing

❌ Awkward phrase:

the musical instrument learners at school

✅ Improved version:

The bar chart illustrates the proportion of schoolchildren learning musical instruments in 2005, 2010, and 2015.

Band estimate: ⭐️ 6–7

⭐️ Best introduction (clean & high-scoring)

If you want a strong model sentence:

Nice ones, bro 👍 Both are clear, but we can polish them a bit for natural IELTS style. Here’s a quick review:

Sentence 1

✅ Clear meaning

Sentence 2

The pie charts compare three different ways people used to learn English in three countries in 2010 and 2015.

✅ Very good overall
⚠️ “used to learn” can sound slightly informal or unclear for Task 1

🔹 Improved version (more academic):

⭐️ Best choice for IELTS
