IELTS ACADEMIC WRITING TASK 1

The table below presents the food consumption per person weekly in a European country in 1992, 2002 and 2012. Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

SAMPLE ANSWER

The table depicts the average amount of food, divided into 5 types, eaten every week in a European country from 1992 to 2012.

On the whole, it is apparent that the consumption of vegetables, wheat, beans and cheese experienced a constant rise, while that for meat saw a reverse trend after a small fluctuation.

According to the chart, in the first year given, there were over 2 kilograms of vegetables consumed weekly. Also, this data was two times higher than that for meat and ranked the highest. Additionally, the former for wheat, bean and cheese was above 800 and over 500 grams, respectively. Meanwhile, roughly 100 grams of cheese were taken each week, which was the lowest.

In the next two decades, the category of vegetables climbed continuously to higher than 2220 and still took the lead. In the meantime, the quantity of wheat went up moderately, reaching nearly 1 kilogram in 2012, doubling that of beans. Moreover, the figure for cheese witnessed a slight increase to125 grams in 2002, yet remained unchanged in the last10 years and stood at the bottom point. Contrastingly, despite a minimal growth to around1200 grams, the category of meat declined significantly to about 1100 grams, which was less than its initial amount.
