The document explains the importance of understanding static and dynamic graphs for the IELTS Writing Task 1, emphasizing that clear presentation of key features is crucial for achieving a high band score. It distinguishes between static graphs, which present data from a single time frame, and dynamic graphs, which show trends over multiple time periods. The document also provides examples and analysis of household data in owned and rented accommodations in England and Wales, as well as insights into post-graduate employment outcomes.

2. Static & Dynamic
Graphs.
IELTS Writing Task 1
(Academic).

3. Why it is important
to understand
graphs for the IELTS
Writing Task 1?

4. IT IS A VERY VALID QUESTION.
IELTS is a proficiency test for the
English language, why I need to
worry about graphs?

5. “Task Achievement” of Task 1
clearly states that you will not
get band 7 if you do not clearly
present key features of the chart.
The reason why it is important to understand graphs is:

6. Task Achievement Criteria – Writing Task 1.Band Here is IELTS
“TASK ACHIEVEMENT ” for Task 1.
It is clearly mentioned in the
“Task Achievement” that you will
get Band 5 if you:
“presents but inadequately covers
key features”
Band 6 if you:
“presents and adequately
highlight key features”
Band 7 if you:
“ clearly presents and
highlight key features”

7. Static & Dynamic
Graphs.
IELTS Writing Task 1
(Academic).

8.  Before writing your answer to Task 1, the first thing you need to do is to decide if
the chart is static or dynamic.
Static means that the data comes from one point in time.
STATIC Charts contain data points belonging to either a
single time frame - such as one year, one month etc. - or
have no time reference at all.
Dynamic means the data comes from more than
one point in time. DYNAMIC charts contain data
points in several time periods – for example 24
hours from 10 am to 10 pm, 10 years from 2000
to 2020 or days from Monday to Sunday.

9. Example of
Dynamic
GraphsThe graph is dynamic because it represents
trends/changes over a period of time from
2011 and 2014

10. Another example of a dynamic Graph. Again, it represents
trends/changes in three different categories over five years.

11. Another example of a dynamic graph. It show
tends over three different periods of time.

12. One more example of a dynamic graph. It shows
changes/trends over four periods of time.

13. Example
of Static
GraphsThe static graph does not have any timeline. It does not represent trends
over a period of time. In this example, you have to simply compare counties
and their average wealth. Here you can not describe the increase or decrease
over any period of time because there is no timeline.

14. Another example of a static charts used for comparing data.

15. Another example of a
static charts used for
comparing data.

16. IN A DYNAMIC CHART, YOU DESCRIBE
HOW THINGS GO UP AND DOWN,
CHANGE OR STAY THE SAME OVER
DIFFERENT TIME PERIODS.
IN A STATIC CHART, YOU DESCRIBE
HOW THINGS ARE SIMILAR OR
DIFFERENT, BIGGER OR SMALLER
INSIDE ONE TIME PERIOD.
 The important point that you must remember when writing an
essay in IELTS Task 1 is that:

17. In 1918 households in owned accommodations were
approximately 23%.
Their numbers increased to almost 32% in 1939 and stayed
there till 1953.
Then, the figures improved significantly from around 32% to
almost 68% in between 1953 and 2001. However, they
slightly dropped to about 64% in 2011.
As far as households in rented accommodations were
concerned, 1918 was the boom year with figures reaching
as high as almost 80%, however, they started to drop
afterwards.
Though they remained constant at around 68% between
1939 and 1953, they continued to go down and reached
only 30 % in 2001. In the year 2011 they slightly increased
to around 36%.
The chart shows the percentage of households in owned and rented
accommodation in England and Wales between 1918 and 2011
Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main
features and make comparisons where relevant.

18. The charts below show what the UK graduate and
postgraduate students who did not go into full-time work did
after leaving college in 2008.
Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the
main features and make comparisons where relevant.
An essay on a static chart.
Majority of both undergraduate and postgraduate
students went for higher studies. Almost thirty thousand
graduate students opted for further study and 2725
postgraduate students went for higher studies.
There was a significant difference between the student
undergoing part-time work and higher studies among the
undergraduate. While for the postgraduates this the
difference was negligible Almost eighteen thousand
undergraduate students took a part-time job compared to
the twenty-five hundred postgraduate.
Student opting for voluntary work was the lowest choice
in both cases.
It is also noticeable that a large proportion of
undergraduate and post-graduate students were
unemployed after the completion of their degree, that is
about 16,236 and 1,625 respectively.
