Hello, thank you for joining me today for this IELTS academic writing preparation lesson.

Today we are talking all about task one bar charts, but the types of bar charts that function as line graphs.

This is quite tricky because it is a task that will be presented to you as a bar chart,

but you'll have to know that the strategy is actually very similar to that of a line graph.

So think of this as a line graph disguised as a bar chart, and this will, of course, affect our strategy.

So today I'm going to take you through a general guide

that you can use for these types of writing prompts

when it comes to the Academic IELTS Task 1 in the Writing section.

And then, of course, we'll go through a couple of step-by-step examples so that you can see our strategy put in use.

So without further ado, let's get started.

Now, I just want to call your attention to the three types of bar charts

that you are likely to see on the academic version of the IELTS, specifically for the writing section task one.

We're going to look at number two, the second type in our video today, but just be aware that these three exist.

The first one is a bar chart with categories on the x-axis.

So this is a classic bar chart with various categories, different things that you see along the x-axis.

The second type is what we're going to be looking at today.

This is a bar chart with dates or years on the x-axis, and so it functions as a line graph.

And the third type is two bar charts together, and that will require a strategy that looks at both of these bar charts.

Again, today we are going to focus on a number two.

In general, you can use more or less the same guide for all three of these, but note that the language

and a little bit of the strategy will change just a bit when looking at these three different types.

So the general guide that you can be expected to use looks like this.

You've got two steps.

The first step is to analyze the chart and plan how to group the information.

This is very important because you don't want to just start writing your essay.

You want to actually analyze the chart, pick it apart a little bit, like I'll show you today, and know what to write about.

And then step two, very simply, is to write an essay using the recommended essay structure.

This is also something else that you should keep in mind.

You never want to write blindly without any paragraph structure or without different groups because this will affect your score.

So you want to use the recommended essay structure that I'll show you in just a bit.

For now, let's look at step one, and there are different parts to step one to keep in mind.

This is basically what we're going to do on a very general level, but if we really look at the detail of step one, we're going to do two things.

First, we're going to organize the information that we see in our writing prompt and in our bar chart into groups.

Now, they're most likely going to be two groups, but keep in mind that you may have different groups.

And basically you're just going to organize what you see, the information in your bar chart, into these two groups.

And then you're going to find information that stands out, something that is perhaps surprising, like a huge decrease or a sharp increase.

Remember these function as line graphs.

So I'll show you how that will play into this.

So these are the first two things to do in step one.

And then you want to figure out the overall trend.

This is very important because we can't just look at detail when it comes to this.

We have to understand the overall trend.

And so there are two ways to do this as well.

Like I said, we want to analyze the chart as a line graph.

This really makes it easy.

I'll show you in our example, but don't just think in terms of bars, but think in terms of lines.

And this will help you understand general trends, sharp decreases, sharp increases, and the like.

And then, of course, with this, we're going to understand the general trend, like I just said, and understand whether or not there's an increase or there's a decline.

And we can actually look at great language also to use in order to describe this.

Okay, so that is the first thing we're going to do.

This is all part of step one.

This is the preparation work

and the outline work in order to really dissect the writing prompt and the bar chart that we have.

With that being said, let's go ahead and look at our writing prompt today, and then we'll get started with this example.

Okay, and here is our example for today.

We have our writing prompt,

which says, the bar chart below shows the estimated sales of jeans for two companies next year in Turkey.

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

Write at least 150 words.

All right, so of course we know that our minimum is 150 words, and we see here that we basically do have two groups.

So we have Mango Company and Jack and Jones Company, and we have months on the x-axis.

So this works as our dates.

We have months here and these are next year.

So this is also a great clue that we'll have to be speaking in the future tense because this is not present, not past, but it is estimated sales in the future.

Then on the y-axis, we have the thousands of pairs.

So that will also help us when looking at what we are examining today.

So notice how we have bars here.

technically these are bars and this is a bar chart, but it's really best to look at this as a line graph.

So let me show you what I mean.

Let's look at step one.

And remember step one is analyzing the chart and planning out how to group the information. And

so the first thing you should be doing in step one

is really analyzing the chart as though it were a line graph.

And so all you really have to do is just draw a line for Jack and Jones and also for Mango.

Draw a line and this will give you a better idea as to the increase,

the decrease, and really how you can compare and understand these two companies and the estimated sales.

So note that Jack and Jones is shown here in blue and it starts out higher than Mango, but then it drops.

And then after that you see a steady increase, and then it increases all the way.

Mango, on the other hand, starts off much lower, but then makes a steady increase.

So this shows you the two groups that we talked about in step one.

And so now I'm going to organize the information on the right-hand side here into two groups.

So I got my first grouping, which is going to be my first paragraph in the body, and the second grouping, which is going to be the second paragraph in the body.

I'll show you the outline in just a bit, But just know for now that mango is going to be my first grouping,

which is the orange, and Jack and Jones will be my second grouping, which is the blue.

I'm just going to make a couple of notes here, things that really stand out to us.

Remember, that's the second part of what we're going to do here.

And for mango, really something that stands out to me is that you see an increase from January to August.

Now this is not a sudden increase, but it's quite subtle, but I'm still going to put January to August just to give me an idea Increase

and remember your outline does not have to be perfect.

No one is going to see it This is just for you to base your writing off of

so that's the first thing I'm going to write about mango Then I am going to talk about this plateau

that you see here So from August September October November, there's quite a plateau So then I'm going to say plateau.

I'll abbreviate it there.

And then I'll talk about how after that, there's going to be a rise to December.

Okay.

Now I will talk about numbers later as I'm actually writing out the essay, but this is basically what I'm going to say about mango.

I'm going to do the same thing for Jack and Jones.

And basically what I see here that is quite clear to me

when I make comparisons is that Jack and Jones is going to outsell Mango at the beginning and also at the end.

100

Note how I don't talk about the middle

101

because it looks like Mango is actually going to outsell Jack and Jones in the middle, but in the beginning and the end,

102

it's quite clear that they are going to outsell Mango.

103

I'll put here beginning and end.

104

This is just for me to understand.

105

And then I am going to talk about how sales dip.

106

So this is a great way to say that sales will decline, dip a little bit, but then come back up right around February.

107

You see how it dips and then it comes back up.

108

So I'm going to say sales dip.

109

I'll talk about February and then see how this is sort of like a stagnant, slight increase, but it's also just stagnant.

110

So I'm going to say something about how sales stagnate until August.

111

So I'll say sales dip, then sales stagnates, and then I'll talk about August.

112

And then I'll just talk about the increase that we'll see for the rest of the year,

113

specifically with September, October, and then we'll talk about the end of the year.

114

So these are my two groups here with Mango, Jack and Jones.

115

I have included some details that I'm going to include in the essay.

116

This just gives me a good idea of what I'm going to write, and it really prepares me for writing with a clear view

117

and really just making sure that I touch on all the points.

118

Now, remember the second part of step one

119

and the last part we're going to do before we actually write our essay is analyzing the chart as a line graph, which is what we have done for our first section,

120

and then understand the general trends.

121

We don't really need details here.

122

We just have to understand if there is an increase or a decline.

123

And basically you see

124

that there is a prediction of an upward trend in sales of jeans for both Mango and Jack and Jones.

125

And it just looks like the customers in Turkey are expected to purchase more jeans from Jack and Jones.

126

So we can say that there is an overall upward trend,

127

but we do want to make a note that more jeans will be purchased from Jack and Jones.

128

So this is something that we can talk about briefly in our overview paragraph.

129

We've basically done all of step one.

130

So we have analyzed the chart, grouped everything.

131

We've understood the trend.

132

And now the last thing to do is just look at our outline, which is going to be looking at step two and writing the essay.

133

I'm going to briefly show you the outline that we're going to follow, and then we are going to start writing our essay based on this information.

134

Okay, and just to remind you, we have step two, writing an essay using the recommended essay structure, and that structure is as follows.

135

So we are going to organize our paragraphs.

136

Now, we have first, obviously, the introduction, then an overview paragraph, body paragraph one, and body paragraph two.

137

Now, to go into detail here, the introduction is going to paraphrase the task question.

138

This is pretty much just a sentence, perhaps two sentences maximum.

139

Then the overview is going to be about the overall trend or a general overview of the main groupings.

140

This is the last part of step one.

141

It is what we just did in our writing example, looking at the overview, the general increases.

142

And then the last two paragraphs are going to be about our two groups.

143

So we're going to write about the first grouping of lines with similar trends and values in body paragraph one.

144

And then of course, in body paragraph two, we are going to write about the second grouping of lines with similar trends and values.

145

And this is it.

146

This is a foolproof outline that will guarantee that you're writing all of the necessary information.

147

You're introducing it professionally and also analytically.

148

You are looking at trends and then you are going into detail with your two groups.

149

So using this, let's start writing.

150

Okay, so I've made things just a bit neater.

151

I've replaced the original picture of the bar chart with the line graph version just so that it's easier to follow along.

152

And our notes are right here on the lower left-hand side.

153

We've got our groupings and we've got our overall trend.

154

I'm going to write here on the right-hand side.

155

And of course, when you are doing your own practice or the actual exam, you do not want to write these headings.

156

So I'm just using this so that you can follow along and see the introduction, the overview, and the different paragraphs.

157

At the end of writing everything, I will talk about some key language, and we'll look at the word count and everything else together.

158

For now, I'm just going to write it as though I would write the essay based on the notes.

159

So first thing first, we have our introduction, which is basically just going to be a different version of the writing prompt.

160

I'm going to paraphrase it and write the task question and just provide a nice introduction.

161

So I'm going to say

162

that the bar chart illustrates the predicted sales in Turkey of denim jeans for Mango and Jack and Jones companies.

163

Transactions are measured in thousands of pairs.

164

This is very important because I need to know exactly what I'm talking about.

165

So this is thousands of pairs.

166

Note that this would not be 1,000.

167

It would be 100,000.

168

So keep that in mind.

169

Basically, I've just said exactly what the writing prompt says.

170

It's talking about the predicted sales.

171

So I know I'm talking in the future.

172

We're talking about Turkey, the mango and Jack and Jones.

173

And keep in mind that I have this ampersand only because it is in the label.

174

I usually would not use symbols or any sort of abbreviations in the exam, but in this case it's fine because it is the title of the company.

175

Okay, now for our overview paragraph, we're going to use this information down here, which is talking about the overall trend.

176

And so just to start off, I'm going to use this great word, overall, basically, and it says overall,

177

the chart predicts an upward trend in sales of jeans.

178

Remember, this is what we looked at.

179

Furthermore, Turkish customers are predicted to purchase more jeans from Jack and Jones Company.

180

And this is what we looked at in the end of step one.

181

So overall upward trend, which is what I've said, and of course, more jeans for Jack and Jones.

182

That is sufficient for our overview.

183

Now with body paragraph one, we're talking all about mango.

184

So this is our first grouping.

185

So when I start talking about mango, I'm going to say regarding mango, and we'll talk about January and August.

186

So I'll say between January and August, Mango sales will increase by,

187

now I want to understand how much it's going to increase.

188

So I look at January for Mango and I look at August,

189

we're starting at right around 100,000 and we're going up to almost 500,000.

190

It looks like it's right in the middle there.

191

So the fact that we're starting here,

192

I'm going to say it's going to increase by 350,000 because remember we're starting at almost 200,000.

193

So I'm going to say 350,000 pairs.

194

Following this, I'm going to talk about the plateau.

195

So again, I'm right here in August and I'm talking about this plateau.

196

So this is a great word to talk about something that just remains the same.

197

I'm going to say they will plateau until November and will finally show a positive rise,

198

which is going to be right here in November up until December.

199

So I'll say they're going to show a positive rise in December to end the year at,

200

and I want to say approximately, because it's not quite clear.

201

So I'm going to say approximately 600,000 pairs.

202

And there we go.

203

So that is everything I wanted to say for Mango.

204

And now we're going to focus on Jack and Jones.

205

There's a little bit more that I wanted to say about Jack and Jones.

206

So again, I'm going to not say regarding, but I'm going to use another way to talk about something specific.

207

And so I'm going to say, in terms of Jack and Jones, they will begin and end the year.

208

Because remember we talked about outselling in the beginning and end.

209

So I'm going to say they will begin and end the year outselling Mango by, and I want to look at how many pairs.

210

Now it looks like 900,000 is the end for Jack and Jones.

211

And we said that Mango was around 600,000.

212

So that's about 300,000 as a difference.

213

So I'm going to say they're going to outsell Mango by 300,000 pairs at the end.

214

So I'll just write that here.

215

Then I do want to talk about this sales dip that I talked about in February.

216

So I will say, however, since this introduces a contrasting piece of information,

217

sales will dip in February to about 250,000.

218

Because if you look here in February, it goes down.

219

It's not quite at 300,000.

220

It decreases to about 250,000 before increasing to around 400,000 in June,

221

because you see how it starts quite low in February.

222

But then in June, you're right around 400,000.

223

So I'm going to write 400,000 in June.

224

And then I wanted to talk about that stagnation of sales.

225

So I'm going to say after June, basically sales will stagnate until August.

226

So my next sentence will say then sales are expected to stagnate until August.

227

And then I wanted to talk about the increase.

228

So after that, I will say Jack and Jones companies sales will more than recover in September and October.

229

And I see that in September and October, they're going to sell around 600,000 pairs.

230

So I'll say selling 600,000 pairs of jeans in both months.

231

This is interesting because it stays the same for September and October.

232

So I'm going to say both months.

233

Keep in mind, this is not necessarily a plateau like we saw in mango,

234

just because it's for a shorter amount of time and it comes right after a decrease.

235

So this is actually an increase.

236

It's a steady increase.

237

It doesn't stay like this for too long.

238

So then I'm going to talk about the ending months and I'll say in the subsequent months,

239

a steady rise is predicted and sales will hit a peak of,

240

again, this says approximately 900,000 and it isn't exactly clear.

241

So I'm going to say a peak of approximately 900,000 by the close of the year.

242

And there you have it.

243

I have talked about all of my information that I wanted to include for Jack and Jones in the second body paragraph.

244

It is normal that one paragraph is a little bit longer than the other.

245

It really depends on the information you have.

246

So with Mango, it was pretty clear.

247

We saw a plateau.

248

We saw a steady increase up until August.

249

However, with Jack and Jones, there was actually much more to talk about because you see a dip

250

and then you see a steady increase and then it just keeps increasing.

251

And that seemed to be a more interesting piece of information.

252

It was a more interesting group in terms of all the changes.

253

So that's why it's a bit longer.

254

So this is our essay.

255

Now I'm going to show you a cleaner version with different types of language that we can analyze.

256

Okay, now we can really analyze this for its language and its word count.

257

I've looked at all of these words and the word count here is 172 words.

258

That's perfect.

259

We have fulfilled our minimum and we've gone a little bit over, but not too much.

260

So we've definitely fulfilled what we have to say.

261

Now I've separated some important words and phrases by color.

262

Let's look at blue first.

263

This is synonyms and topic vocabulary.

264

So this is specific to this writing prompt.

265

There aren't so many things here.

266

We have predicted sales, which is what we saw here in the prompt.

267

We saw estimated sales, but predicted sales is another way to say that.

268

The more you're able to paraphrase and provide synonyms, the more your examiner will understand that you've got a rich vocabulary,

269

and this will definitely help you in terms of the lexical resources that you're using.

270

So try to use synonyms as much as you can.

271

You see here Turkish customers.

272

This was a different way to say customers from Turkey or customers in Turkey.

273

So using the adjective here.

274

And also we see outselling mango.

275

That is very specific to estimated sales.

276

So the more you study and practice your synonyms, the more these will be at the ready for you.

277

And it'll just be more natural to use these synonyms.

278

When it comes to useful vocabulary and phrases for the writing task one,

279

we have a lot of great things that would work for this specific bar chart because it's treated as a line graph, but also line graphs in general.

280

So we see that the chart predicts an upward trend.

281

This is great.

282

This is a way to say the increase that we see here

283

and predicted to is wonderful because we're talking in the future.

284

This is a prediction.

285

So you really have to make sure you understand the writing prompt because we're not talking in the present or the past.

286

This is the future.

287

So these are all predictions.

288

In our first body paragraph, it says the sales will increase by, so this buy is very important.

289

Make sure you know that they will come together.

290

If you didn't have buy and you just had increased 350,000 pairs,

291

you would lose points on your lexical resource because that's just not the correct way to say it.

292

Plateau is another great way to talk about something that is stagnant for more than two months, like we saw here.

293

And show a positive rise is another way to say an increase.

294

And then approximately is a great way to just say around because we don't know exactly the correct numbers.

295

We just have this y-axis as a guide.

296

Then in our second body paragraph for more useful vocabulary, a dip.

297

This is great.

298

So we use this for Jack and Jones in February.

299

It's a very sharp decline.

300

So a dip is a great way to say that.

301

Stagnate is another great way to say that it is steadily increasing, but it's just a bit stagnant.

302

It isn't anything too exciting.

303

And then in the subsequent months, so in the following months,

304

a steady rise, which is exactly what we talked about from September to October, and then hit a peak.

305

So this is the highest point, like we saw for Jack and Jones, which is around 900,000.

306

When it comes to the important functional words, let's look at red.

307

These are great things for just organizing your information and your paragraphs and really just making it flow.

308

So in our overview paragraph, we have overall because we're talking in general.

309

Then in our first and second body paragraphs, when we want to get into more detail or talk about something specific.

310

We can say regarding, or we can say in terms of, and then to talk about a process or to say something next,

311

you could say following this when you want to include a contrasting argument or a contrasting piece of information.

312

However is a great word to use.

313

And then you can also say then when you want to continue, it's very similar to following this and you just continue on with your information.

314

So you see how all of these synonyms, useful vocabulary, and functional words really help make your essay a success.

315

This is a high-scoring essay because of the four scoring parts.

316

We have the task achievement.

317

This definitely fulfills the task.

318

It reports on the main features.

319

It makes relevant comparisons.

320

It does so with a minimum of 150 words.

321

The second part is it's coherent.

322

It is cohesive with our foolproof outline.

323

So you've got these different paragraphs.

324

It's easy to read and it makes sense.

325

And then the last two parts, the lexical resource and the grammatical range are also excellent here.

326

We have a nice variation of words.

327

We've talked about this in the future tense as was necessary.

328

So keep in mind that your outline

329

and all of your preparation work will really help you organize your essay and make it a success.

330

I took a bit longer today because I just wanted to show you the reasons that I was writing certain things, and I wanted to show you the lines.

331

But with practice, I guarantee you that you can do this quickly.

332

You should be spending about 20 minutes on this.

333

Now, the next example is going to show you something similar, but it is, of course, going to be a bit different.

334

Let's speed it up a little bit and we'll show you the preparation work and a model essay.

335

Okay, so we have our second example for today.

336

It looks to be a bit more complicated and we see three different bars for each year.

337

So let's read our prompt and see exactly what we're dealing with.

338

It says the chart below shows the total number of minutes

339

in billions of telephone calls in the UK divided into three categories from 1995 to 2002.

340

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

341

Of course, we have 150 words as a minimum.

342

Now, just looking at this chart, like I said, it looks to be a bit more complicated because we've got three categories per year.

343

This is exactly what we're looking at, though.

344

We have our years on the x-axis here and the minutes in billions on the y-axis.

345

So don't worry about this.

346

We can still approach this like we did the first example.

347

We're going to look at it as a line graph in order to understand exactly what we're dealing with.

348

And so here we are.

349

I've just included how I would draw these lines.

350

So let's take a look at this.

351

We see first this gray type of bar is local fixed line.

352

So basically I have traced the general curve and you see that it starts as an increase and then it decreases.

353

So I've used this in red to show you what that looks like.

354

Our second category is national and international fixed line, which is in our white bar.

355

And that is a steady increase.

356

And then we have mobiles, all calls in the black bar.

357

And that also is a slight increase from 1995 to 2002.

358

Now, this is extremely important because whenever students see three different categories with a bar chart like this,

359

they tend to get nervous about how they're going to group this information.

360

And since we've just analyzed the chart, we can see that there are two very different groups.

361

The first group is a decreasing in the local fixed line, and the second group has the steady increasing,

362

which would be national and international fixed lines and mobiles, all calls.

363

So in this case, I would start out by writing about national, international fixed calls, and mobiles.

364

I would have the white and the black bars as one group, and then our second grouping will be the local fixed line, which you see here in gray.

365

That's just because we are grouping them based on the trend.

366

One is decreasing and one is increasing.

367

So I'm going to start with the first grouping and I'm just going to make notes about it.

368

So I'm going to say national and international plus mobiles.

369

And for my second grouping, I'm just going to say local fixed line.

370

Now, in terms of things I want to say for national and international and mobiles, I want to talk about how we see a gradual increase for both.

371

So for both national, international fixed line and mobiles, this is the biggest thing I'm going to talk about.

372

And when we look at our essay, you will see how I've included the numbers

373

because I am going to give examples in terms of numbers and in terms of dates, but this is the main thing you would have to understand for this first group.

374

The second group, on the other hand, is going to look a little different because they have a different trend.

375

So for local fixed line calls, which is going to be the topic of my second body paragraph, I'm going to talk about how it rose steadily.

376

I'll talk about how it was a peak at around looks like 90 billion.

377

So I'll put 90 billion here just to remind myself.

378

And then I'm going to talk about the gradual decline up until 2002.

379

And this is it.

380

So you really don't have to freak out about grouping things that have three categories.

381

In this case, you just want to look for a trend

382

because I can guarantee you there is going to be some sort of trend that you can group together.

383

And now speaking of trend, we're just going to finish up our step one and really just talk about a general trend.

384

We're not talking about details.

385

The details, remember, are in our body paragraphs.

386

So in general here, I'm just going to talk about local fixed line calls.

387

I'm going to talk about the peak and then the decline.

388

and then when it comes to national and international calls, I'm going to talk about the gradual rise,

389

specifically focusing on mobile calls rising towards the end.

390

Now again, my notes are abbreviated.

391

This is just to remind me of what I've planned when I write out the essay,

392

but keep in mind that we were sort of able to combine all of the various points in step one.

393

I was able to immediately see the overall trend just by drawing these lines for each category.

394

And I was able to also see the overall trend just by looking at our groupings more in depth.

395

So that's really all it takes.

396

The more you practice, the more these things will jump out at you quite quickly, and you'll be able to see this right away.

397

And now I'm going to show you the model essay.

398

Okay, so we have our essay here on the right hand side.

399

We're going to read it together while paying attention to these color coded words.

400

So we have blue synonyms and topic vocabulary, green useful vocabulary and phrases, and red important functional words.

401

So remember we have our introduction statement right here, which is basically just paraphrasing the prompt.

402

And it says the bar chart illustrates the total number of

403

calls in the UK in billions of minutes with three call types over an eight year period from 1995 to 2002.

404

Basically here I've added eight-year period because I see 1995, 2002, and call types.

405

So we see here telephone calls, three categories.

406

I've basically just said call types because that is what these three categories are.

407

Very short and simple and to the point.

408

Our overview paragraph here talks about the general trend.

409

So a nice way to introduce that is to say on the whole, local fixed line calls reached a peak by the middle of the period,

410

which is true here, and then gradually declined.

411

National and international calls showed a gradual rise over the whole period, so from 1995 to 2002,

412

with mobile calls rising considerably toward the end of the period.

413

This is the general overview.

414

Notice that a whole period is a good way to say the entire eight-year span.

415

And all of these things in green are great for line graphs and also for these types of bar charts.

416

Now our first body paragraph, which is talking about national and international plus mobile calls,

417

says with regards to national and international fixed calls, along with mobile calls.

418

Mobile calls stood at around 2 billion minutes in 1995.

419

Over the next four years, they showed a gradual increase, which is exactly what we see here,

420

with a marked increase in call numbers from 2000 to 2002.

421

National and international fixed calls showed a similar pattern, which is here in white,

422

starting at just under 40 billion minutes of calls in 1995,

423

then rising steadily to around 60 billion minutes of calls in 2002.

424

So notice how I have stood at.

425

Again, we're talking all in the past because this is 1995, 2002.

426

So it stood at is a great way to just say what it was around 2 billion minutes in 1995,

427

for example, then showing a gradual increase.

428

You want to show that it was not sharp.

429

And then a similar pattern is what we see with the national and international calls.

430

And then a rising steadily is another way to say that it was quite gradual.

431

Now our second grouping for fixed line, it says turning to local fixed line calls.

432

This is a great way to shift focus.

433

So turning to local fixed line calls in 1995,

434

they began at slightly over 70 billion minutes and rose steadily to a peak of 90 billion.

435

So this is the highest point, the peak, 90 billion minutes by 1999.

436

However, from 2000, the trend showed a gradual decline in numbers of calls,

437

ending in 2002 at the same amount as the start of the period.

438

So we made a note that said 2002 was equivalent basically to what we saw in 1995.

439

So note that, however, is also a great functional word.

440

It shows a contrasting point.

441

And if you take a look at all of this color-coded language, you see that we use a lot of great lexical resources.

442

Our grammar was excellent as well in the past tense.

443

And in terms of the task achievement, everything has been answered.

444

Our word count is 200.

445

So we've definitely fulfilled the 150-word minimum while elaborating as necessary, but not going overboard.

446

And of course, it is coherent.

447

It's cohesive we have used the excellent foolproof outline, which makes sure that everything is organized and makes sense.

448

Again, like I said, with more practice and time, you'll be able to do all of this quickly and really use your 20 minutes in a very efficient way.

449

Excellent job.

450

Let's wrap up this lesson.

451

All right, let's wrap up bar charts part two, which was looking at years on the x axis.

452

When looking at do's and don'ts, first thing you want to do is, of course, analyze your chart as a line graph.

453

It's not very different from a line graph, so keep that in mind.

454

It's always helpful to draw a line like I did to really understand the bars that you see.

455

Then you want to plan how to group the information, just like we did, into our body paragraphs and also understand your trends.

456

Is there an increase?

457

Is there a decline?

458

Is there perhaps a little bit of both?

459

You'll have to write this.

460

And remember, you can actually combine the various aspects of step one, so be on the lookout for that.

461

And then you want to organize your essay just like we did with the various groupings and the trend.

462

Things you don't want to do, definitely don't start writing your essay immediately.

463

You want to make sure you are allotting the appropriate amount of time to outline and then write.

464

So the more you practice, the more you'll understand various trends that will pop out at you and different ways to group your information.

465

So don't worry if you're taking things a little bit slowly right now, just practice, practice, practice.

466

It really makes perfect when it comes to time management.

467

Of course, you don't want to write the wrong amount.

468

We stayed at our 150 word minimum and went up to 200 in our last example.

469

You don't want to stray too far from that because you don't want to spend too much time on this task.

470

And of course, don't get confused over the numerous bars.

471

I'm talking specifically about our second example where we had three categories per year.

472

Don't worry about it.

473

Just stick back to this first tip with analyzing your chart as a line graph,

474

and that should definitely help you understand trends to group things more efficiently.

쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법

쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
