The structure of a Writing task 1

The line graph shows the percentage of tourists to Scotland who visited four different types of attractions from
1980 to 2010.

Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where
relevant.
Introduction The line graph illustrates the proportion of visitors to four places in Scotland, including Aquarium,
Castle, Zoo and Festival over a period of 30 years.

Overview Overall, while the percentage of tourists visiting Castle and Zoo increased, the opposite was true
for Aquarium and Festival over the given period.

Analyzing In 1980, the percentage of tourists who chose to visit Castle started at nearly 25%. Over the
paragraph 1 following 20 years,this figure increased dramatically to reach a peak of about 45% in 1995,
followed by a considerable drop to just over 30% in 2010. Still, this destination remained the most
visited by tourists. Meanwhile, the figure for Zoo was much lower, at only 10% in the first year.
Despite some slight fluctuations between 10% and 15% during the first 20 years, this figure then
gradually rose to 20% in the last year.

Analyzing Regarding the other attractions, Festival was the most attractive place in Scotland in 1980 (30%),
paragraph 2 compared with 20% for Aquarium. Over the next 5 years, the percentage of travelers paying a
visit to the Aquarium reached a peak of nearly 35% in 1985 before falling considerably to just
under 10% in 2010. Similarly, the percentage of Festival’s tourists witnessed a gradual decrease
and finished at roughly 18% at the end of the period.
