The bar chart below shows the different types of accommodation chosen by the British when they went on holiday in 2012. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant
SAMPLE ANSWER
This answer is not perfect. It is not meant to be. Rather you should note how it is logically organised, grouping similar information together. There is one paragraph for England, Scotland and Wales showing the main pattern. I start by noting the most evident feature of the chart. I also use England as a model and then compare the situation in Wales and Scotland. Then there is a separate paragraph for Northern Ireland, highlighting the key exception.
This bar chart shows illustrates the holiday accommodation chosen by people in the United Kingdom in 2010. Generally, it is possible to say that the English, Scottish, Northern and Welsh made very similar choices and that hotels were much the most popular form of accommodation.
In all four countries approximately half the people chose to stay in hotels. This figure was highest in England at around 55%, almost twice the number of people who cooked for themselves (27% of the sample) and far greater than the number who stayed in campsites (12%) and finally caravans (6%). A similar pattern was repeated for the Scots and the Welsh. In each case, around 50% of holidaymakers went to hotels with around 30% in self-catering apartments. The one difference being that caravan holidays at 12% were twice as popular as camping holidays in Scotland, while the opposite pattern could be seen in Wales.
The one country that shows a different pattern is Northern Ireland. It is notable how there just over 30% of the population chose caravan holidays in preference to self-catering accommodation and camping (both around 12%).
