WRITING TASK 1

You should spend 20 minutes on this task

The bar chart below illustrates five different industries’ percentage share of
Country B’s economy in 1995 and 2015 with a forecast for 2025.

Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and
make comparisons where relevant.

Write at least 150 words.

This model answer has been prepared by an examiner as a very good answer.
However, please note that this is just one answer out of many possible
approaches.
The bar chart shows the actual and projected share of the economy of Country
B held by the five key business sectors for the years 1995, 2015 and 2025.

Beginning with the real figures, the sectors that saw growth between 1995 and
2015 are Finance, Fossil Fuels and Food Processing with rises of around 5
percent for the two former and around 10% for the latter. However, both
Tourism and Manufacturing saw falls of around 5% for that period.

Turning next to the projected figures for 2025, only the Finance sector is
predicted to see a continued growth in 2025, again by 5%. Of the remaining
sectors, tourism stays at 2015 levels with around 21% and both Food
Processing and Oil, Coal and Gas return to 1995 levels (11 and 26%
respectively). Meanwhile, Manufacturing sees a further drop in its share,
falling by a further 10 percent to around 5 percent.

Overall, for the period covered, the Finance sector stands out in terms of
having the largest share of Country B’s economy and its share shows continued
growth. The big loser is manufacturing, which starts as the joint smallest sector
and sees both real and projected falls.
