This is an IELTS writing band 5.0 sample
Thank you indeed for writing this report. The report can use multiple areas to improve its final score; for instance, the use of words like “… it jumped to a fifth …” or phrases like “That being said,” without sufficient context, or grammatical structures like “Moving to the Superior, in 1973 covered nearly, a quarter of ice” where the subject is missing, cause massive confusion for the reader. It is best to produce correct and healthy sentences even if they tend to be more straightforward. The report, however, is successful in identifying and addressing the main areas of the visual although it could have more clarity in reporting data; comparing lakes should have been based on a more logical ground; in other words, the ice-covered area from one lake did not decrease to reach another ice-covered area for another lake; the word “decrease” may not be a good fit here as this comparison does not make much sense.

A very good sample

The given bar chart depicts the percentage of people living in urban areas in three different continents: Europe, Asia, and Africa.
The chart displays data for the year 2007 and projections for the year 2030. In 2007, Europe had the highest percentage of urban population at around 75%, followed by Asia at approximately 40%, and Africa at only 38%. By 2030, the projections show that Europe's urban population will increase slightly to almost 77%, while Asia's urban population is expected to increase significantly to almost 60%. However, Africa's urban population is expected to experience the most substantial increase, with projections indicating that it will more than double to reach nearly 60%.
In conclusion, the chart illustrates the significant differences in the percentage of people living in urban areas in Europe, Asia, and Africa in 2007, as well as the projections for 2030. It also highlights the expected changes in these percentages by 2030. This chart could be used to discuss the urbanization trends in different regions of the world and their implications for urban planning and sustainable development.
