IELTS ACADEMIC WRITING TASK 1
Three pie charts about young Australians secondary school leavers in years 1980, 1990 and 2000. Each pie showed the proportion of school leavers that continued studying, were employed or unemployed. Write a report to a university lecturer describing the pie charts below.
SAMPLE ANSWER
The pie charts illustrate the proportion of graduates in three different categories after graduating from schools over three separate years, namely 1980, 1990 and 2000.
Overall, the employed accounted for the greatest proportion in all years mentioned. Additionally, it is obvious that there was a significant increase in the proportion of people who were employed whereas unemployed and further education experienced a reduction over the period shown.
In 1980, further education was the primary source of school leavers at precisely 50%, however, after 20 years, its figure decreased dramatically to approximately 25%, remaining as the second position in the year 2000.
In terms of the employed, its proportion saw a considerable growth during the period of 20 years, from around 30% to about 70% in the year 1980 and 2000 respectively. Over the 20-year period, there was a fall in the number of people who were unemployed to approximately 10%, accounting for the lowest point in the year 2000.
