IELTS ACADEMIC WRITING TASK 1
The following graphs depict the reliability of print and non-print academic materials as voiced by undergraduates and postgraduates at 3 different British universities.
Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features and make comparisons where relevant.
SAMPLE ANSWER
The two charts compare the views of undergraduate and postgraduate students from 3 different British schools on the reliability of print and non-print academic resources. In all the three given universities, students feel printed materials to be more reliable than the non-print materials.
75% of undergraduate students at Cambridge and 80% of undergraduate students at both Oxford and Leeds rate printed material ‘reliable’. However, postgraduates support printed materials in strengths of 92% at Oxford, 87% at Cambridge and 96% at Leeds. Thus, more postgraduates than undergraduates’ rate printed material reliable at these 3 schools.
However, this trend is reversed for non-print academic sources. Only 59% at Oxford, 63% at Cambridge and 61% at Leeds support non-printed materials among the under graduates. The proportion of postgraduates who feel positive about non-printed academic items are 50%, 54% and 47% respectively, for the same 3 schools.
The charts depict that postgraduates find printed material more dependable and under-graduates find non-printed material more reliable.
