The Pie chart below shows why the agricultural land becomes less productive. The table shows how these causes affected three regions of the world during 1990s.

Summarize the information by selecting and reporting main features, and  make comparisons where relevant.

Ielts Writing Task 1

The given pie chart and table illustrate the causes of deterioration in quality of arable land and the three regions, namely North America, Europe and Oceania, affected by these causes in 1990s.

Pie  chart clearly shows that much of the arable land was lost due to use of land for cattle grazing (35%) followed by cutting down of forest cover (30%); over farming (28%); and other reasons (7%) respectively.

As per table, total area of land lost in America was 5%, out of which, most of land was left uncultivable by over cultivation (3.3%), followed by overgrazing (1.5%) and deforestation (0.2%). In Europe, out of the 23% of land deteriorated, a major portion (9.8%) was lost due deforestation, followed by over cultivation (7.7%) and use of land as pastures.

In Oceania, out of 13% of land lost much of land lost was due to overgrazing, followed by deforestation.  

To sum up, America was worst affected by over cultivation; Europe by deforestation while Oceania was suffered land loss due to overgrazing.

IELTS Writing Task 1: Process Writing  with Sample Answer

The diagram shows how electricity is generated by a hydroelectric dam.

Write a 150-word report for a university lecturer explaining how the process works.

 

Academic Writing Task 1- Hydroelectric 

The diagram depicts and elaborates the process of electricity generation with help of Hydro project.

The hydroelectric power generation process involves construction of a dam to store water in the reservoir; and a powerhouse to house generation equipment. The water from dam’s lake is channelized to the turbine through intake and a narrow channel called Pen stock. The water channels are usually narrow passages which are designed to add speed and force to the flow of water. The force of water is, in turn, used to turn the turbine which subsequently runs the generator unit, connected to it, in the powerhouse. The water that passes through channel; and turns the turbine is routed into the river through a second tunnel.  

The electricity resulting from such process is transmitted to distant locations with the help of long distance transmission lines.

**Hydroelectric power generation is a long term solution for meeting power requirements as it is renewable resources; and does not use fossils fuels.  
** can be alternated with - 

Hydroelectric electricity generation process involves four phases, i.e. storage in reservoir; directing towards the turbine through tunnel; electricity generation through generator; release of water into the river; and transmitting electricity through power lines.
