A glance at the two pie charts provided reveals the relative popularity of various leisure activities among European adults in 1985 and 1995.

Of these activities, watching TV was the most widely enjoyed in both years, at 32 percent in 1985 and a slightly lower 30 percent in 1995. Yet, by far the most significant change to take place during this period was the increased popularity of computer games. Not a single respondent to the survey rated playing computer games as their preferred leisure activity in 1985. However, by 1995 this figure stood at 27 percent – the second highest overall. Also more popular in 1995 was talking with friends, at 26 percent compared to 21 percent a decade earlier.

In stark contrast, however, all other activities decreased in popularity. Eating out – which was the second most widely enjoyed pastime in 1985, accounting fot 23 percent of respondents – slipped to a mere 8 percent in 1995. Likewise, there were also considerable decreases in the popularity ratings of talking with family, other activities and (as previously mentioned) watching television.

✅Writing Task 1 "SUPER COHESION"

I chose the name 'super cohesion' for two reasons: first, because I think it's a great way to structure a task 1 answer; and second, because it's a name that I hope people will remember (nobody remembers the word 'good', but maybe you'll remember 'super').

You'll need to practise this way of writing several / many times before you become confident enough to use it in a real exam.

I don't always use the 'super cohesion' structure myself. It's a nice option, but it's not something that you must do.

The idea is that you write two sentences in your overview paragraph, and then you write each 'details' paragraph (3 and 4) by developing one of these overview sentences.

I'm calling this 'super cohesion' because it creates a very logical and connected structure. There is cohesion acrossthe paragraphs, as well as within them.

I tried the same technique when I wrote last week's task 1 answer. Here it is again, with the 'super cohesion' highlighted:

..........

The bar chart illustrates the frequency with which Americans ate in fast food establishments from 2003 to 2013.

It is clear that the majority of Americans ate in fast food restaurants between once a week and once a month in all three years. We can also see a shift towards eating in these restaurants less frequently by the end of the 10-year period.

In each of the years shown on the chart, close to 60% of people in the US ate in fast food restaurants between once and four times a month. Roughly 15 to 20% of Americans reported eating in fast food outlets several times per week, while 3 to 4% of people ate in these outlets daily. At the other end of the scale, around 4% of people avoided fast food restaurants completely.

Between 2006 and 2013, the total proportion of Americans who ate in fast food establishments either once a week or several times a week fell by almost 10%. At the same time, there was an increase of around 8% in the ‘once or twice a month’ category. In other words, the weekly fast food habit that was common in 2003 and 2006 became a monthly or twice monthly habit in 2013.

..........

Can you see what I've done? The first sentence of the overview )is developed in paragraph 3, and the second sentence of the overview is described in more detail in paragraph 4.

Tip: Try reading all of the 3rd paragraph's sentences together, then read the 4th paragraph's sentences separately. This should help you to see how the overview and main paragraphs are connected.

Your Guide To Magical Results In IELTS WRITING
(Today’s focus is on the CONTENT OF PARAGRAPHS.)

Everyone says you should give Extended Answers to get a high band score for task achievement. But how extended should they be?

Let’s not talk about bands 0-4 because if these were your bands, you wouldn’t be reading this post now. So let’s focus on bands 5-9. Let’s imagine that we are writing an essay about health. I’ll try to show you the difference between bands using a simple example. At least, this example usually helped my students, so I assume that it can help you as well.

Band 5: ‘Doing exercises is good for health.’
Comment: TOO GENERAL. What exercises? What does ‘good’ mean? So it’s 5.

Band 6 ‘Doing exercises such as swimming and jogging is beneficial for health.’
Comment: NOT EXTENDED ENOUGH. We know what exercises are good but we still don’t know why they are good. Although ‘beneficial’ looks a bit better than just ‘good’, it doesn’t bear a lot of meaning.

Band 7+: ‘Doing exercises such as swimming and jogging is beneficial for health. These exercises, if done regularly, stimulate a person’s cardiovascular system, leading to something bla-bla-bla. Another positive outcome is developing muscles + bla-bla-bla.
Comment: FULLY EXTENDED. You say what is good for health, give examples of this good activity, explain why it is good, under what conditions, where and when.

Now let’s analyse some real piece of writing.

Topic: Some people believe that zoos where animals are kept in man-made environment should no longer exist in the 21st century. Do you agree or disagree?

Main Body Paragraph 1: Undoubtedly, the main necessity zoos are created for is preserving rare species of animals from extinction. This includes research programmes aimed at breeding and expanding the populations of these species as it is in zoos that animals receive medical care, food and safety. One more beneficial function no one would dare to gainsay is providing shelter and care to those that are either too young or too weak to survive in the wild. For this reason, we can certainly say that if it weren’t for zoos, the majority of vulnerable animals would be doomed to death.

ESSAY ANALYSIS:
Comment: The first sentence presents the idea that zoos are important to preserve rare species of animals from extinction. It’s good. Then the second statement gives some explanation of how zoos can help to preserve rare species. This makes this paragraph more or less extended, so this essay can score 6 for task achievement. Now let’s read the second sentence one more time carefully. ‘bla-bla-bla...animals receive medical care, food and safety…’ What kind of medical care? Why is it important that they are fed in zoos? What does the author of this paragraph mean by ‘safety’? Let’s read the third sentence. ‘bla-bla-bla… too weak to survive in the wild’. Again, what threats do they have? Why does the author think that they won’t survive?

TASK ACHIEVEMENT: So, task achievement is definitely better than 5, but not so good to score 7. I guess task achievement here would be 6.

COHERENCE & COHESION: This paragraph is fully coherent. The author uses both linking words and phrases such as ‘undoubtedly’, ‘for this reason’ and linking devices such as ‘this includes’, ‘one more beneficial function is…’. It would definitely score either 7 or even 8.

VOCABULARY: Vocabulary is probably not good enough for 8, but it’s definitely worth 7.

GRAMMAR: ‘are created’ (passive voice), ‘it is in zoos that animals receive…’ (cleft sentence), ‘providing’ (gerund), (either … or…), ‘if it weren’t for zoos, the majority of vulnerable animals would be doomed to death’ (conditional type 2) This would give 7 or even 8.
If the whole essay was of the same quality, this would be 6 + 7 + 7 + 7 = 7,0 or even 6 + 8 + 7 + 8 = 7,5
