IELTS Writing Task 1: Two-sided Bar Chart

In this article I’ll show you how to write the introduction and overview for a two-sided bar chart. Next week I’ll include the “detail” paragraphs.

The chart below shows the number of men and women in further education in Britain in three periods and whether they were studying full-time or part-time.

Introduction

The bar chart compares the enrollment of men and women into full-time and part-time British further education programs in the 1970, 1980, and 1990 school years.

Overview

Overall, part-time education was several times more popular than full-time education throughout the entire period. In addition, while initially men had larger enrollment numbers in both part-time and full-time programs than women, by the end of the period women had surpassed men in part-time study and matched them in full-time.
