IELTS ACADEMIC WRITING TASK 1

The tables below are the results of research, which examined the average percentage marks scored by boys and girls of different ages in several school subjects. Write report for a university lecturer describing the information below. You should write a minimum of 150 words.

Sample answer

The tables show the average percentage of marks obtained in school subjects of Maths, Science, Geography, Languages and Sports by children aged 7,10,13 and 15 according to sex. Boys scored the highest in sports (78%), whereas girls scored the highest in languages (75%).

Apart from these two subjects the performance of boys and girls was comparatively similar. Boys tended to score higher in Geography, with scores ranging from 63-70%, while scores for girls ranged from 62-64%. However, at the age of 15, both boys and girls alike averaged a score of 64% for this subject. The differences between the sexes for scores for Maths and Science were negligible.

Comparing the scores for different age groups, for both boys and girls, children tended to improve as they got older. Boys improved in all subjects till age 13, but the scores were less for age 15 for all subjects except Sports. Among girls, the scores of all subjects grew as age grew, but in Sports the scores fell with advancing age.

Overall, it is clear that males in this age range performed better in sports and females in languages.
