The number of people rose. Then
the number of people fell. After,
the number increased.
These are all verbs

11. In IELTS, it is good to use adjectives and adverbs to show
that you can use good grammar.
Firstly, the number of people rose
sharply. Then there was a steady fall.
After, the number increased slowly.
Now we have some adj +
nouns and verbs +
adverbs, to show good
grammar.

12. Look at the lines again. Can you
make an adjective and noun?

15. Remember….
•You don’t need to learn all the vocabulary for
IELTS line graphs.
•Just make sure you know 2 or 3 ways to
describe each different change in the line.

18. What else is important?
•You should have about 4 paragraphs.
•You should use a range of vocabulary and
grammar.
•You should use connecting words-In addition,
Moreover, However etc
•You need an overview of the main ideas
•You need to make comparisons

19. The Introduction Paragraph
Be very specific about what you can see. How many years does
the graph show? What is the information about? Change the
words from the question (paraphrase), so you don’t lose points
for repetition.
For example if the question says:
This chart shows > change to > The graph illustrates/The
graph gives information about
The amount of people who went shopping > change to> The
number of customers who… etc

20. The summary

21. What people drink in Hue

Overall, milk tea was more popular than juice from 2005 to
present. Throughout the period, the trend for milk tea
rocketed upwards, whereas juice fell.

22. Overall
•Remember, to get overall trends you can look
at the first and last part of the line graph and
say that the overall trend is up or down.

23. Writing
Vocabulary for things that are different:
In contrast
Whereas
However
But

24. Why do we need to compare in IELTS?

25. Ways to compare-(1) –Linking Words
Vocabulary for things
that are different:
In contrast
Whereas
However
But
Vocabulary for things
that are the same
Both
Similarly
In the same way

26. Ways to compare-(2) –The
information
Group information together.
Which lines are similar and which ones are
different?
If you see 2 lines which have a similar idea, put
them in the same paragraph and compare them.
Use words like ‘more than’, ‘the biggest’, ‘the
most dramatic increase’. These words compare
one line to all the others.

27. Give an Overview
•The main trends (try not to write specific data)
•Words you might want to use: Overall,
‘most/least’
•Look at the start and end to get an overall
idea of the trend. If it is lower at the start and
higher at the end, the overall trend is
upwards.
Overall, the consumption of fish and chips declined over the
period, whereas the amount of pizza and hamburgers that were
eaten dramatically increased.

29. What can we group together?
In 1975, the most popular fast food with Australian teenagers was
fish and chips, eaten 100 times a year. This was far higher than pizza
and hamburgers, which were consumed approximately 5 times a
year. However, apart from a brief rise again from 1980 to 1985, the
consumption of fish and chips gradually declined over the 25 years
to finish at just under 40.

30. In contrast to this, teenagers ate the other two fast foods at much higher
levels with a similar trend. Pizza consumption increased gradually until it
overtook the consumption of fish and chips in 1990. It then levelled off from
1995 to 2000. The biggest rise was seen in hamburgers as the times they were
eaten increased sharply throughout the 1970’s and 1980’s, exceeding that of
fish and chips in 1985. It finished at a similar level that fish and chips began
with consumption around 100 times per year.
