IELTS Writing Task 1 Sample Answer

The bar chart below shows the percentage of Australian men and women in different age groups who did regular physical activity in 2010.

Sample Answer 1

            This bar chart illustrates the frequency of physical exercise among men and women of different age groups in Australia in 2010. Overall, both genders tend to be more physically active as they grow older, with women over the age of 45 engaging in more physical activity than younger women.

      In 2010, over half of Australian men (53%) and women (47%) between the ages of 15 and 24 participated in regular physical activity. While women maintained similar activity levels between the ages of 25 and 44, men experienced a significant decline in activity beyond that age. Only 39.5% of men aged 35 to 44 engaged in regular exercise, whereas a much higher percentage of women in the same age group (52.5%) participated in physical activity.                                                                                                                 

     Conversely, women accounted for nearly 53% of the age group, comprising individuals aged 45 to 54. Interestingly, women aged 35 to 64 had a higher participation rate in sports training compared to teenagers, with the differences between the youngest and oldest age groups being less than 1%.

           This bar chart shows the proportion of men and women of various ages who often exercised in Australia in 2010. Overall, the data shows that both men and women tend to be more physically active than young adults, but women over 45 engage in more physical activity than younger women.

          In 2010, more than half of Australian men (53%) and women (47%) aged 15 to 24 participated in regular physical activity. While women engaged in similar activity levels between the ages of 25 and 44, men's activity levels dropped dramatically beyond that age. Just 39.5% of men aged 35 to 44 participated in regular exercise, whereas a much higher percentage of women in the same age group (52.5%) regularly exercise.

          On the other hand, women accounted for almost 53 per cent of the group comprising adults aged 45 to 54. Although females aged 35 to 64 had a higher participation rate in sports training than teens, the disparities between teens and the most senior adults were less than 1%.

            Regarding men's percentage, the proportion of men in the 15 to 24 age group did 52.8% of daily exercise, while the figure decreased by 10% for the 25 to 34 age group. The actual proportion of people aged 35-44  who were able to do physical exercise was..., where the figure constantly increased, reaching a high of 46.7 % of men over 65.

                             Turning to the figures of women, 53%, being the highest in proportion, was for women in the 45 to 54 age group and 55 to 64 age group, while 47.7%, being the lowest in proportion, was for youngsters. The proportion of women in the 35-44 age group who did physical activity was higher than that of women aged 65 and over. More women (25 to 34 age group) did regular exercise than younger ones.

                  This graph depicts the percentage of Australian men and women who engaged in regular physical exercise in 2010.

                  By analysing this graph, we can observe that males outnumber women by 4% in the age range of 15 to 24, i.e., men outnumbered women 52.8 percent to 47.7 percent.

                     Similarly, we discover that 42 percent of men and 48 percent of women exercise regularly in the age range of 25 to 34. Between the ages of 35 and 44, men's exercise percentage decreases to 42%, while women's proportion increases to 53.3 percent. Between the ages of 45 and 54, the graph reveals similar patterns, with males accounting for 43% and women accounting for 53%. Following that, we observe some equality between men and women between the ages of 55 and 64, when males exercised at 45.1 percent and women exercised at 53 percent, and finally, at the age of 65 and above, men and women exercised at the same rate of 46.7 and 47 percent, respectively. This is the entirety of the graph.

Band 6.5

                          The presented bar graph shows the proportion of boys and girls in distinct age clusters who performed regular physical exercise in Australia in 2010.

                  To begin with, in the 15-24-year-old group, more than half of the boys did regular physical activity, which was the second-highest proportion and outnumbered girls by 5.1 % in 2000. In the 25-34-age cluster, the percentage of men and women accounted for 42.2 per cent and 48.9 per cent, respectively. The figures for Australian men stood at 39.5 per cent, which was the lowest figure, whereas women accounted for 52.5 per cent.

                      Turning to the rest of the age clusters, the percentage of girls remained at 53.3 per cent, which was the highest among all other proportions, in the 45-54-age cluster. The 55-64 age group figures stood at 53% (women) and 45.1% (men), and for older adults, they remained almost the same at around 47% in 2010.

                  To sum up, we can see that the figures for women surpassed men for performing regular exercise in all different age groups, except young people.

Band 6.5

                                  The graph gives information about the daily physical activity done by men and women in different age groups in Australia during one year.

                                     To begin with, women aged 45-54 years old did the maximum physical activity, with 53.3%. However, women younger than 24 and older than 65 years old had the lowest percentage, at around 47%.

                               Turning to men, 15-24-year-old boys stood at 52.8%, which was the highest value, while the men in the 35 to 44 age group had the lowest value (39.5%), followed by the 45-54 age group (43.1%), and 55 to 64-year-old men ( 45.1%).

                                     Overall, it can be seen that in every age group, the percentage of women was higher than that of men, except in the 15-24 age group, where the percentage of boys was high compared to girls.

                                        We can see that after the sixties, the proportion of men and women who did regular physical activity was almost the same.
