Trang 1IELTS WRITING TASK 1: PIE CHART
A GETTING TO KNOW
Read the sample answer and identify main parts in its outline.
Sample answer:
The pie charts illustrate the primary reasons that people came to and left the UK in 2007
At first glance it is clear that the main factor influencing this decision was employment
Having a definite job accounted for 30 per cent of immigration to the UK, and this figure was very similar for emigration, at 29% A large number of people, 22%, also emigrated because they were looking for a job, though the proportion of people entering the UK for this purpose was noticeably lower at less than a fifth
Another major factor influencing a move to the UK was for formal study, with over a quarter of people immigrating for this reason However, interestingly, only a small minority, 4%, left for this.
The proportions of those moving to join a family member were quite similar for immigration and emigration, at 15% and 13% respectively Although a significant number
of people (32%) gave ‘other’ reasons or did not give a reason why they emigrated, this accounted for only 17% with regards to immigration.

The pie charts show the electricity generated in Germany and France from all sources and renewables in the year 2009.
Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features and make comparisons where relevant.
Write at least 150 words.
Trang 5Sample answer:
The four pie charts compare the electricity generated between Germany and France during
2009, and it is measured in billions kWh Overall, it can be seen that conventional thermal was the main source of electricity in Germany, whereas nuclear was the main source in France.
The bulk of electricity in Germany, whose total output was 560 billion kWh, came from conventional thermal, at 59.6% In France, the total output was lower, at 510 billion kWh, and in contrast to Germany, conventional thermal accounted for just 10.3%, with most electricity coming from nuclear power (76%) In Germany, the proportion of nuclear power generated electricity was only one fifth of the total.
Moving on to renewables, this accounted for quite similar proportions for both countries, ranging from around 14% to 17% of the total electricity generated In detail, in Germany, most of the renewables consisted of wind and biomass, totaling around 75%, which was far higher than for hydroelectric (17.7%) and solar (6.1%) The situation was very different in France, where hydroelectric made up 80.5% of renewable electricity, with biomass, wind and solar making up the remaining 20% Neither country used geothermal energy.
