IELTS ACADEMIC WRITING TASK 1
The graph below shows the number of visitors each month to the zoo’s most popular exhibits. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

SAMPLE ANSWER
The line graph illustrates the monthly number of visitors to three of the zoo’s most popular exhibits: the Aquarium, Giant Pandas, and the Penguin Encounter, over the course of a year.
Overall, all three exhibits followed a similar trend, with visitor numbers rising steadily from January to a peak in August, followed by a sharp decline until November. The Giant Pandas attracted the most visitors overall, while the Penguin Encounter saw the lowest numbers for most of the year.
In January, all three exhibits had around 150,000 to 180,000 visitors. The number of visitors increased gradually for all attractions, with the Giant Pandas reaching a peak of about 520,000 in August. The Aquarium followed closely behind at around 500,000, while the Penguin Encounter peaked at approximately 470,000. From September onwards, visitor numbers dropped significantly for all exhibits, hitting a low point in November. There was a slight recovery in December for all three.
