Re: IELTS Academic Task 1: Essential Vocabulary (Graphs)
Once you have attempted writing the first two paragraphs, check the sample.
Note: before reading our answer, you should try to write your own using the information above. Once you have tried to write your own, read the first 2 paragraphs of our Task 1 response below:
It can be seen that from 2010 to 2012 there was a steady fall in the number of students studying full-time. However, from 2012 to 2013 there was a dramatic increase in full-time student numbers - rising from around 5 to 60. From this point, a significant fall to 40 followed by a slight increase can be seen. The downward trend is expected to continue, with numbers falling from 60 in 2013 to 15 by 2018. There will be a strong recovery from 2018 to 2019 with numbers rising to 50 and this number will remain stable until 2020.
