Title DOL Sample Task 1 ✅

COMBO 1: 1T1C SAMPLE 1 The graph below gives information about international tourist arrivals in five countries. Purpose: - Trend - Compare Overview: - Trend: all => upward (France = biggest increase) - Compare: 1st = US + France at the end Body 1: Compare - At the start of the period, - 1st USA = 70 = 2xFrance - Malaya = 20 = 2xEgypt & Brazil Body 2: Trend - Thereafter, - USA => increase => a peak of 90 in 2005 => decrease - France => significant increase = USA at the end - Malay, Egypt, Brazil => similar pattern => 50, 20 and 15 million arrivals in 2010
The statistics set out how many international tourist arrivals were welcomed in five different countries over a 15-year period, ending in 2010. Overall, all five countries witnessed an ascending trend in the number of arrivals, with France experiencing the biggest increase. Among the five, the USA and France emerged as the most common destinations, attracting the highest number of international tourists in 2010. At the start of the period, by far the most popular country was the USA, with about 70 million international arrivals being recorded, which was double the figure for France. Malaysia followed with over 20 million arrivals, surpassing the figures for Egypt and Brazil, both of which welcomed fewer than 10 million arrivals each. Thereafter, international tourists arrivals in the USA increased gradually to a peak of around 90 million in 2005, after which a slight decrease was recorded at the end of the period. Meanwhile, France registered a significant increase until its figure matched that for the USA in 2010. The remaining countries also followed similar patterns, but less pronounced, with respective figures for Malaysia, Egypt and Brazil being 50, 20 and 15 million arrivals in 2010.

SAMPLE 2 The graph below shows information about the total oil consumption of four major consumers from 2009 to 2030. Version 1 The line chart compares how many barrels of oil were consumed daily by four main consumers since 2009 and shows projections for 2030. Overall, the consumption of China and the Middle East would witness an upward trend while the opposite would be the case for the USA as well as Western Europe and Japan. Among the four, the US would remain the largest market for oil. In 2009, the United States had by far the highest oil consumption, at 9 million barrels of oil per day (MBPD). Far below were Western Europe and Japan, with 4 MBPD, which was double the figures for China and the Middle East in the same year. Thereafter, the amount of oil consumed in the US increased, peaking at 10 MBPD in 2015, but predictions show that this number would decrease considerably to 7.5 MBPD in 2030. The trend for oil consumption in Western Europe and Japan would also be downward, ending the period with 2 MBPD. Having an opposite consumption pattern, people in the Middle East would consume more oil, with the estimated figure in 2030 being 3 MBPD. Similarly, the data for China, despite a slight drop forecast between 2025 and 2030, would generally increase, finishing at 3.5 MBPD. (208 words)
Version 2 Purpose: 1t1c Overview: - Trend: USA + WEJ descending trend // China + ME opposite - Compare: 1st => USA Body 1: In 2009, - USA by far 1st (9 million barrels per day) - WEJ (4) = double the figures for China and the ME Body 2: Thereafter - USA increased to a peak of 10 MBPD in 2015 => is predicted to decline to around 7.5 in 2030 - Meanwhile, China => witnessed an increase in the first 6 years => is expected to continue this trend to 2025, peaking at 4 before => s;lightly decline to 3.5 in 2030 - ME increase => 3 // WEJ => drop to 2 in 2030 The line graph illustrates how four primary consumers consumed oil since 2009 and shows projections for 2030. Overall, the US and Western Europe & Japan (WEJ) are expected to register a descending trend while China and the Middle East will take the opposite direction. Among these four, the USA is predicted remain as the top oil-consuming market. In 2009, by far the highest oil consumption belonged to the US, as this country consumed 9 million barrels per day (MBPD). This was followed by WEJ, at 4 MBPD, double the figures for China and the Middle East. Thereafter, US oil consumption increased to a peak of 10 MBPD in 2015 and predictions show that this figure would decline to around 7.5 MBPD in 2030. Meanwhile, China witnessed a marked growth in the first 6 years and is expected to continue this trend to 2025, peaking at 4 MBPD, after which a slight decline to 3.5 MBPD is estimated in 2030. Finally, it is anticipated that the data for the Middle East would rise to 3 MBPD whereas that for WEJ would drop considerably to 2 MBPD in 2030.
