‫Hello, everyone, and welcome to another task, one modeled writing lesson in this lesson, we're going
‫to be looking at a task, one question that involves bar charts.
‫Now, any task, one question that has charts, dress or tables is going to need a very similar report.
‫So the structure, the vocabulary, the language is going to be very similar.
‫However, I think it's highly useful to you to see me model write more than one question so you can
‫see me go through the process again from the very beginning, see in the question to making a plan and
‫then writing the report.
‫So before we take a look at the question, let's go over the checklist one more time.
‫This features checklist is exactly the same for any graph, chart or table question, because the language
‫is going to be the same in terms of the adverb plus verb, the adjective plus.
‫Now we can use both those features for any graph, chart or table question at the top.
‫The top four features in red.
‫We have our features for organization structure and answering the question and below engrain.
‫We have features for vocabulary and grammar.
‫I really do recommend trying to use this features checklist when you are practicing writing a report.
‫Let's move on to taking a look at this question.
‫The bar charts show household expenditure across four main areas in the UK, Australia and Japan in
‫2013, summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features and make comparisons where
‫relevant.
‫OK, so that is our question.
‫And now it's time to take a look at the visual information that we have.
‫Imagine that I have just been shown this on my actual test date.
‫I'm just going to spend a short amount of time having a look over this data and getting a better understanding
‫about the visual information given to me.
‫As always, begin with the title, Household Expenditure in Three Countries in 2013, so this title
‫is telling me exactly what the bar chart is showing me household expenditure in three countries.
‫Now, let's move along to having a better look at what we are being shown on the Y axis.
‫We have percentages from 25 percent down to zero, which is the total household expenditure along the
‫bottom.
‫On the x axis.
‫We have four types of household expenditure housing, health care, food and transportation.
‫Underneath this, we can see the three color coded countries, which is in orange, the UK, in black
‫Australia and in grey Japan.
‫So I've got a better understanding about the big picture of what that data is showing me, but I haven't
‫yet really looked at specific figures.
‫So I've taken a quick look at the visual information, and it's now time that we make a short plan.
‫So I now need to think about my grouping for this question, so let's take a quick look at the bar chart
‫again.
‫I need two groups.
‫So we've got three countries say maybe not grouping by country is it's an odd number and I need two
‫groups, but maybe it would make sense if we group housing and health care into Group One and Food and
‫Transportation Inter-Group two.
‫Let's go with that.
‫Group one, we have housing and health care and in group two will go with food and transportation,
‫transportation and OK, save for the overview.
‫Let's have H.H. for housing and health care and we'll say overall we can say high spending for both.
‫Hatake, housing and health care, although not high for health in the UK.
‫That's quite long, but that's okay is not going into too much specific detail, which we don't want
‫in the overview.
‫And let's do F.T., which is food and transportation, food and transportation seems to be all under
‫20 percent of total expenditure.
‫And I'll just show you now.
‫So for food and transportation in all three countries, there is not one country spending more than
‫20 percent.
‫So all countries spend less than 20 percent of their total expenditure on both food and transportation.
‫Now, you may think that I've gone into giving a figure or a fact for this, for the food transportation.
‫But it's an overall statement, and that's what the overview is.
‫It gives us an overall idea of what is happening in the data and then in the detailed paragraphs, we
‫can go into more specific figures.
‫OK, so that is my plan finished will now move on to actually writing this report.
‫So I'm going to need to start with my paraphrased introduction again.
‫Let's take a look at the first part of the question.
‫The bar charts show household expenditure across four main areas housing, health care, food and transportation
‫in the UK, Australia and Japan in 2013.
‫So let's begin the bar charts that given just change it a little bit that given bar charts present.
‫Total.
‫Household expenditure, household spending's I'm using a synonym here.
‫For expenditure across four common.
‫Areas.
‫In three countries.
‫And here I will use a semicolon to begin a list, the UK.
‫Australia and Japan
‫have three countries, the UK, Australia for three countries
‫and less at that date as well in 2013.
‫OK, so let's read that back and make sure it's OK.
‫Spending for given Bajada present total household spending across four common areas in three countries
‫in 2013, the UK, Australia and Japan.
‫Yeah, that sounds quite good to me.
‫So that's my paraphrased introduction complete.
‫Now we'll move on to our overview in the plan.
‫I greet Housing and Health Care Inter-Group one and Food and Transportation Inter-Group two, and I
‫noted that housing and health care were high expenditure areas at set for the UK in health care and
‫for food and transportation.
‫I noted that all countries spent under 20 percent, which you can see here.
‫So that's what I'll write for general statements in my overview.
‫And as ever, we begin with overall.
‫So let's begin with group on housing and health care.
‫Overall, housing and health care are mainly mostly high areas of expenditure for all three countries.
‫Now, I'm not going to mention the UK here, actually.
‫I'm just going to say a mostly, which indicates that not every single country spending high, but overall,
‫most countries are spending high on housing and health care.
‫So that's group one done for my overview and group to.
‫Let's take a look.
‫So are high energy expenditure for all three countries, on the other hand, for both food and transportation.
‫X y, food and transportation spending for all countries do not exceed 20 percent of total spending.
‫And here you can see the other added spending, spending twice.
‫I don't like repeating myself in my writing, so I need to think of another word for this.
‫I could use expenditure as, I mean, a different sentence.
‫So let's write expenditure here.
‫Expenditure.
‫OK, so let's read this back.
‫Overall housing and health care are mostly high areas of expenditure for all three countries.
‫On the other hand, and we've got a nice open there, both food and transportation spending for all
‫countries do not exceed 20 percent of total expenditure.
‫So there we have it.
‫That is my overview, complete, so it's time to move on to our detailed paragraphs and group one,
‫we have housing and health care.
‫So let's start writing for this.
‫I'll begin by making an overall statement about housing, I can see that all three countries are spending
‫over 20 percent on housing.
‫So that's what I will start with.
‫All three countries, the U.K., Australia and Japan spend over 20 percent of their total budget on
‫housing.
‫On housing, let's add a hyphen just to add a bit more detail, the highest being in great we have Japan
‫and it looks like they're spending around twenty six percent.
‫So let's say around twenty six percent, the highest being Japan with around twenty six percent of spending
‫of total outlay.
‫I don't want to repeat myself too often of total outlay going towards accommodation.
‫Again, I don't want to keep repeating myself with housing, housing, housing, accommodation is perfectly
‫fine.
‫OK, so that's my first part done for housing.
‫Let's describe health care.
‫And, of course, check the spelling.
‫OK, so health care is quite interesting because Australia and Japan both spend quite a lot on health
‫care, whereas in the U.K. it's definitely a lower figure, significantly lower we might.
‫Right.
‫So he could say, on the other hand, health care law, how can we compare them?
‫Health care is also a major area of spending for both Australia.
‫And Japan.
‫Who spend how much is Australia spending, let's say 20 to 30 who spend around twenty two percent and
‫Japan is 20 percent and 20 percent respectively, respectively.
‫It's a great way to link figures to nouns, to names.
‫So if I say respectively, it means twenty two goes to Australia, the first figures and Nankivell and
‫20 percent goes to Japan, the second name or second figure given.
‫So it links these together.
‫OK, and we also want to mention that the UK is spending significantly lower.
‫However.
‫Another great eye opener in the U.K., this figure is significantly lower at around seven percent of
‫total money spent.
‫OK, so that brings us to the end of our first detailed paragraph.
‫I've got lots of figures and detail in here.
‫It's now time to move on to food and transportation.
‫OK, so let's take a quick look at food costs so everyone seems to be spending between 10 and let's
‫say 18 percent or 10 yet 10 to 18 percent, let's say.
‫So let's start off with that food expenses.
‫For all three countries
‫lie between is it turn it around 11, 11.
‫To and I think the UK spends the most at around, let's say, 17, 11 to 17 percent of total money spent
‫on repeating myself again.
‫So let's try and change something.
‫Expenditure again is OK, because we haven't said that recently.
‫Expenditure.
‫OK.
‫Let's go into a bit more detail about the spending on food, so maybe I could describe the lowest and
‫highest amounts.
‫Australia is the lowest and the UK is the highest.
‫So Australia, Australia's total outlay for food was around 11 percent, whereas the highest spenders.
‫Standards for eating, we could say, just said we're not repeating food, the highest standards for
‫eating were in the U.K. at about 17 percent of total spending.
‫OK, I just have a quick read through, and I think that's food described food expenses for all three
‫countries lay between 11 to 17 percent of expenditure.
‫Australia's total outlay for food was around 11 percent, whereas the highest spenders for eating were
‫in the UK at about 17 percent of total spending.
‫Okay, that sounds good to me.
‫Let's take a look at transportation.
‫Is there anything that I notice comparing these two sets of data?
‫So I have Australia and Japan spend more on transportation than they do food, whereas the UK spends
‫the same amount per fact.
‫That's something that I can quite nicely describe here.
‫Both Japan and Australia spend more significantly, spend slightly more.
‫So I've got an adverb spend slightly more on transportation than food.
‫Whereas in the UK the figure for spending on food and transportation remains the same at around 17 per
‫cent.
‫And I've just noticed a slight spelling mistake that I take.
‫So let's read this second debate.
‫Both Japan and Australia spend slightly more on transportation than food, whereas in the UK the figure
‫for spending on food and transportation remains the same at around 17 percent.
‫And this is just giving a bit more detail and specific figures.
‫OK, so that's my second detailed paragraph complete.
‫Let's take a read through the whole report.
‫The given bar charts present total household spending across four common areas in three countries in
‫2013 the UK, Australia and Japan.
‫Overall, housing and health care are mostly high areas of expenditure for all three countries.
‫On the other hand, both food and transportation spending for all countries do not exceed 20 percent
‫of total expenditure.
‫All three countries, the U.K., Australia and Japan, spend over 20 percent of their total budget on
‫housing, the highest being Japan, with around 26 percent of total outlay going towards accommodation.
‫There you go.
‫Health care is also a major area of spending for both Australia and Japan.
‫So this figure here.
‫Who spend around 22 percent and 20 percent, respectively.
‫However, in the U.K., this figure is significantly lower at around seven percent of total money spent.
‫Food expenses for all three countries lay between 11 to 17 percent of expenditure, Australia's total
‫outlay for food was around 11 percent, whereas the highest spenders for eating were in the UK at about
‫17 percent of total spending, which is here.
‫Both Japan and Australia spend slightly more on transportation than food, whereas in the UK the figure
‫for spending on food and transportation remains the same at around 17 percent.
‫Now, taking a quick look over our features checklist, the one that stands out to me is the adverb,
‫verb, vocabulary, grammar, sentence type.
‫Now, we haven't really included much of this, and I think that's because we aren't comparing between
‫different times, different years.
‫But that's perfectly fine.
‫You will find that not always you need to use certain features.
‫And that brings us to the end of this lesson.
‫If you've got any questions, please go to the Q&A section and I will come and help you there.
‫See you in the next lesson.
