Katika IELTS Academic Writing Task 1, kazi yako si kuorodhesha kila nukta ya grafu ya mistari. Unahitaji kufupisha taarifa: kuchagua mabadiliko makuu na kulinganisha mistari. Jibu lenye kila takwimu linaweza kuonekana kamili, lakini likaficha ujumbe muhimu. Hapa kuna swali, jaribio la kwanza lenye makosa ya kawaida, maoni kwa vigezo vyote vinne na jibu lililoboreshwa. LetsWords hukagua majibu kwa mtindo huo: inaonyesha kinacholizuia jibu zaidi, kisha unafanyia mazoezi kigezo hicho kwenye grafu mpya.
Swali: grafu ya mistari
The graph below shows the percentage of adults in one country who used three different book formats between 2014 and 2024.
Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.
Write at least 150 words.
Mambo ya kuona kabla ya kuandika
Jiulize maswali matatu. Majibu yake yanaunda overview, yaani muhtasari wa picha kuu. Bila hiyo, maelezo yanaweza kubaki orodha ya namba.
- Nini kiko juu zaidi mwanzoni na mwishoni? Vitabu vya kuchapishwa: 62% mwaka 2014 na 45% mwaka 2024. Matumizi yalipungua, lakini aina hiyo ilibaki ikitumika zaidi.
- Mistari ipi inabadilisha mwelekeo au kasi? Vitabu vya kielektroniki viliongezeka kwa kasi hadi 2020, vikabaki kwenye 30%, kisha vikapungua kidogo. Vitabu vya sauti viliongezeka polepole mwanzoni, halafu kasi ikaongezeka.
- Mistari inavukana wapi? Kufikia 2024, vitabu vya sauti vilikuwa 31%, vikavipita vya kielektroniki vilivyokuwa 28%.
Kwa maelezo ya kina, unahitaji takwimu za mwanzo na mwisho, kilele cha vitabu vya kielektroniki, na takwimu mbili za vitabu vya sauti zinazoonyesha mwanzo wa polepole na kasi ya baadaye. Maelezo rasmi ya Task 1 yanataka mambo muhimu na yanaruhusu kuacha maelezo madogo. Mwongozo wa grafu za mistari katika LetsWords unafuata utaratibu huo: kwanza mwenendo mkuu, kisha taarifa zilizopangwa kulingana na mwelekeo wa mistari, pamoja na namba zinazounga mkono muhtasari.
Jaribio la kwanza: kila takwimu bila picha kuu
The graph shows information about how many people used books in one country from 2014 till 2024. There are three types of books.
In 2014, 62% of people used printed books. In 2016 it was 59% and in 2018 it was 56%. In 2020 the percent of printed books decrease to 51% and in 2022 it was 48%. In 2024 it decrease to 45%. So the percent of printed books decrease during the whole period.
E-books were 12% in 2014. Then they increase on 7% and were 19% in 2016. In 2018 they increased to 26% and in 2020 they increased to 30%. In 2022 it was 30% again and in 2024 it was 28%.
Audiobooks were 4% in 2014 and 5% in 2016. In 2018 they were 8%, in 2020 they were 14% and in 2022 they were 22%. In 2024 the percent of audiobooks increased on 31%.
In conclusion, printed books decrease and e-books and audiobooks increase.
Jibu lina zaidi ya maneno 150 na limetaja takwimu zote, lakini baadhi zimeelezwa kwa lugha isiyo sahihi. Zaidi ya hayo, msomaji ndiye analazimika kujenga picha ya kilichotokea katika miaka kumi.
Mfano wa maoni ya LetsWords: muhtasari kwanza, maneno baadaye
Maoni yanahusu vigezo vyote vinne vya IELTS, lakini marekebisho hayana uzito sawa. Kwa jibu hili, Task Achievement ndiyo ya kuanza nayo. Bila muhtasari na ulinganisho, hata sentensi zisizo na makosa hazikamilishi kazi.
Task Achievement: muhtasari na ulinganisho vinakosekana. Sentensi ya mwisho pekee inajaribu kueleza picha kuu: In conclusion, printed books decrease and e-books and audiobooks increase. Kwa vitabu vya kielektroniki, inaacha jambo muhimu: baada ya 2020, matumizi yaliacha kuongezeka na baadaye yakapungua. Haitaji kwamba vitabu vya kuchapishwa vilibaki juu zaidi, wala kwamba mistari miwili ilivukana. Hakuna ulinganisho kati ya aina za vitabu. Hata utangulizi hauna usahihi kamili: grafu inaonyesha asilimia, si idadi ya watu.
Muhtasari ulioboreshwa unawekwa baada ya utangulizi bila namba:
Overall, printed books remained the most popular format throughout the period, although their use declined steadily. Both digital formats became more common, but while e-book use levelled off after 2020, audiobook use grew at an accelerating rate and had overtaken it by 2024.
Coherence and Cohesion: kufuata miaka badala ya kupanga kwa mwenendo. Kila aina ya kitabu ina aya yenye mfululizo wa in 2016 it was…, in 2018 it was…, bila uhusiano kati ya aya. Panga taarifa kwa mwenendo na tumia viunganishi kuonyesha uhusiano wa mambo:
Audiobook use grew slowly at first, reaching only 8% in 2018, but then accelerated. By contrast, e-book use levelled off at around 30% from 2020.
Lexical Resource: taja kinachopimwa. E-books were 12% in 2014 si maelezo sahihi ya kipimo. 12% ni sehemu ya watu wazima waliotumia vitabu hivyo. Badala ya the percent of printed books, andika the percentage of adults who used printed books au kwa ufupi printed book use. Nomino inayohitajika ni percentage, na asilimia ni ya watu wazima, si ya vitabu. Badilisha marudio ya it was kwa vitenzi vya mwenendo kama fell to, levelled off na overtook.
In 2014, 12% of adults used e-books.
Grammatical Range and Accuracy: miundo inayojirudia, nyakati na vihusishi vinavyotumika na namba.
- decrease to 51% → decreased to 51%: kipindi kimekwisha, hivyo tumia Past Simple.
- increase on 7% → increased by seven percentage points: ukubwa wa mabadiliko hutumia by. Tofauti kati ya asilimia mbili hupimwa kwa pointi za asilimia.
- increased on 31% → increased to 31%: kiwango kilichofikiwa hutumia to.
- from 2014 till 2024 → between 2014 and 2024: muundo wa pili unafaa zaidi katika mtindo wa maelezo haya.
- Takriban kila sentensi ina muundo uleule: In 2016 it was 59%, In 2018 they were 8%. Utofauti wa sarufi pia unahitaji miundo changamano, kama katika jibu lililoboreshwa: …, reaching 45% in 2024, which was still well above…
Zoezi la bure la go up linaeleza tatizo la on na tofauti kati ya by na to. Rise vs raise linaonyesha tofauti ya vitenzi hivyo.
LetsWords hukagua jibu unalowasilisha kwa namna hii: maoni yanarejea maneno uliyotumia na kumalizia kwa hatua maalumu, yaani pa kuandika upya kwanza na kigezo cha kufanyia mazoezi.
Jibu lililoboreshwa
The line graph compares the percentage of adults in one country who used printed books, e-books and audiobooks between 2014 and 2024.
Overall, printed books remained the most popular format throughout the period, although their use declined steadily. Both digital formats became more common, but while e-book use levelled off after 2020, audiobook use grew at an accelerating rate and had overtaken it by 2024.
In 2014, 62% of adults used printed books, compared with 12% for e-books and 4% for audiobooks. Over the following decade, the figure for printed books fell gradually, reaching 45% in 2024, which was still well above the figures for both digital formats.
E-book use, by contrast, rose sharply between 2014 and 2020, more than doubling to 30%. It remained at that level in 2022 before dipping slightly to 28% in 2024. Audiobooks followed a different pattern: their use grew slowly at first, reaching only 8% in 2018, but then accelerated, climbing to 22% in 2022 and 31% in 2024, which put audiobooks ahead of e-books. By 2024, the gap between printed books and the most popular digital format had narrowed from 50 to 14 percentage points.
Jibu hili linahifadhi takwimu tisa kati ya 18 za grafu, na kila moja inaunga mkono muhtasari. Kila aya ya maelezo inalinganisha aina za vitabu.
Lugha ya kueleza mwenendo
Mabadiliko: rise sharply, fall gradually, level off, dip slightly, overtake, a dramatic increase. Katika muktadha huu, dramatic hueleza mabadiliko makubwa na ya ghafla.
Takwimu: rise by seven percentage points hueleza ukubwa wa ongezeko; rise to 31% kiwango kilichofikiwa; peak at 30% kiwango cha juu kabisa. Kwa sehemu ya jumla, kama kwenye chati ya duara, tumia account for. Usizichukulie asilimia za grafu hii kama vipande vitatu vinavyounda jumla moja: 62% ni asilimia ya watu wazima waliotumia vitabu vya kuchapishwa, na mtu mmoja anaweza kutumia zaidi ya aina moja.
Ulinganisho: whereas, while, in contrast na unlike. Muhtasari kwa kawaida unaweza kuanza na overall, badala ya in conclusion. Mifano zaidi ipo katika Linking words.
Haya ni mazoezi ya bure ya LetsWords yenye kosa linalojirudia na ukaguzi wa jibu. Ili usemi utokee katika jibu unaloandika, unahitaji kuukumbuka bila kuangalia. Katika programu ya msamiati ya LetsWords, unaweza kuongeza misemo kwenye mkusanyiko, kuikumbuka kutokana na maana, kuandika sentensi na kupokea maoni. Marudio yenye nafasi kati yake huirudisha katika vipindi vya baadaye.
Kutumia mbinu hii kwa chati za nguzo, duara na majedwali
Maswali ya msingi yanabaki yale yale: ni nini muhimu zaidi, nini kilinganishwe na nini, na namba zipi zinaunga mkono hilo? Kinachobadilika ni sifa kuu unayotafuta.
- Chati ya nguzo: thamani za juu na chini zaidi, tofauti kubwa inayoonekana, au mpangilio wa makundi.
- Chati ya duara: sehemu kubwa na ndogo zaidi; kama chati ni zaidi ya moja, mabadiliko makuu kati yake.
- Jedwali: thamani za juu na chini, pamoja na safu au nguzo zenye kufanana. Usipitie kila kisanduku kimoja baada ya kingine.
Katika miongozo ya LetsWords, kila aina ya kazi ina muundo wa jibu na orodha ya kukagua. Hazina ya maswali ina grafu za mistari, chati za nguzo na duara, majedwali, chati mchanganyiko, ramani na michakato.
Zoezi linalofuata: andika muhtasari wa grafu mpya
Jaribu ujuzi huo kwenye taarifa tofauti. Chagua grafu nyingine ya mistari katika LetsWords na uanze na mazoezi ya Task Achievement. Huhitaji jibu kamili: andika muhtasari pamoja na sentensi mbili au tatu zinazoonyesha mwelekeo wa mistari, badiliko au tofauti kubwa zaidi, na ulinganisho wa mwanzo na mwisho. Maoni ya zoezi hilo yanahusu kigezo hicho pekee.
Kama maelezo bado yanafuata mwaka baada ya mwaka, fanya mazoezi ya Coherence and Cohesion: muhtasari pamoja na taarifa zilizopangwa kwa mwenendo. Kama vihusishi na nyakati ndivyo vinavyokukwaza, chagua Grammatical Range and Accuracy na utumie from… to…, while na by the end of the period.
Kisha andika jibu kamili. Kabla ya kuwasilisha, pitia orodha ya kukagua. Kipengele kimoja kinakuuliza kama umelinganisha mistari, badala ya kuieleza kila moja peke yake mwaka baada ya mwaka. Maoni ya vigezo vyote vinne yataonyesha pa kuanza kurekebisha. Unaweza pia kuwasilisha jibu ambalo tayari umeandika. Miundo ya Task 1 na namna ya kuifanyia mazoezi ipo kwenye ukurasa wa IELTS Writing Task 1.
Baada ya mfano huu, jaribu grafu mpya. Katika LetsWords, unaandika muhtasari au jibu kamili, unapata maoni na kufanyia kazi kigezo dhaifu zaidi. Lengo ni kuweza kuchagua picha kuu bila kuorodhesha kila takwimu. Anza mazoezi ya IELTS Writing katika LetsWords: jibu maswali machache kuhusu lengo na kiwango, kisha ujaribu maoni kabla ya kulipa.
