00:00:01,530 --> 00:00:09,720
‫Hello, everyone, and welcome back to another Alt's writing task, one lesson and this video lesson,

2
00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:16,760
‫you're going to watch me write a full task, one report from start to finish.

3
00:00:17,250 --> 00:00:24,240
‫This is going to be the full process of receiving the question, analyzing the visual information and

4
00:00:24,240 --> 00:00:28,110
‫data, and then moving on to writing a plan.

5
00:00:28,110 --> 00:00:29,670
‫And, of course, the task.

6
00:00:29,670 --> 00:00:37,560
‫One report, unlike other lessons in about seven plus I'm recording this life, so I may need to correct

7
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:40,970
‫myself at certain points throughout this video lesson.

8
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:48,720
‫If you do find this type of lesson useful, then please let me know because I can create more lessons

9
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:52,410
‫like this to help you in your ELT's preparation.

10
00:00:53,400 --> 00:01:00,570
‫OK, before we move on to take a look at our question, let's take a look at a features checklist.

11
00:01:01,950 --> 00:01:11,250
‫This features checklist is an eight point guide for some things that you must include in your out task

12
00:01:11,250 --> 00:01:12,360
‫one report.

13
00:01:13,740 --> 00:01:21,940
‫In red, we have features that cover the band descriptors of TASC achievement and cohesion and coherence.

14
00:01:22,470 --> 00:01:30,520
‫So the red features are all about answering the question and organizing your report in green.

15
00:01:30,540 --> 00:01:34,560
‫We have features that cover vocabulary and grammar.

16
00:01:35,490 --> 00:01:42,660
‫As I'm going through the process of writing my report, I can use this features checklist to make sure

17
00:01:42,660 --> 00:01:47,820
‫that I've included some of the most important parts of my report.

18
00:01:48,510 --> 00:01:55,380
‫I suggest that you also try and use a features checklist like this when you are practicing writing your

19
00:01:55,380 --> 00:01:56,040
‫report.

20
00:01:56,400 --> 00:02:02,760
‫Of course, on the day of your test, you won't be able to use one, but it's really good to try and

21
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:06,040
‫use one of these whilst practicing your writing.

22
00:02:06,930 --> 00:02:08,910
‫So that's all for the features checklist.

23
00:02:08,940 --> 00:02:12,740
‫Let's move on to the question that I'll be answering today.

24
00:02:14,310 --> 00:02:24,900
‫The pie charts below show energy production in Spain in 2008 and 2017 summarized the information by

25
00:02:24,900 --> 00:02:31,120
‫selecting and reporting the main features and make comparisons where relevant.

26
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:37,700
‫So before I even start writing a plan, I'm just going to spend a minute looking over the data.

27
00:02:38,190 --> 00:02:44,490
‫On the left, we have a pie chart, which is energy production in Spain for two thousand and eight.

28
00:02:44,790 --> 00:02:54,180
‫On the right, we have the same information, but for the year 2000 and 17 in 2008, I can very quickly

29
00:02:54,180 --> 00:02:59,790
‫see that oil and coal make over 50 percent of energy production.

30
00:03:00,150 --> 00:03:04,230
‫Gas is at 22 percent and not quite as important.

31
00:03:04,230 --> 00:03:08,600
‫We have renewables, nuclear and other in comparison.

32
00:03:08,610 --> 00:03:13,380
‫In 2017, I can see that oil and coal have both decreased.

33
00:03:13,740 --> 00:03:20,550
‫Nuclear is increased by six percent, gas increased by one percent, renewables and other.

34
00:03:20,580 --> 00:03:22,920
‫It looked like they both nearly doubled.

35
00:03:24,090 --> 00:03:31,770
‫So that's just me quickly taking a shot at the data and getting a better idea of what I will need to

36
00:03:31,770 --> 00:03:33,270
‫write in my report.

37
00:03:33,780 --> 00:03:36,960
‫It's now time for me to write a quick plan.

38
00:03:39,790 --> 00:03:46,000
‫OK, so let's start writing our plan, and I'm sure that you remember the structure we use for this

39
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:46,340
‫plan.

40
00:03:46,670 --> 00:03:50,050
‫Remember, it's a very quick thing to write.

41
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:57,070
‫So the first thing I want to do is to group my data into two different groups, group one and group

42
00:03:57,070 --> 00:04:03,670
‫to my initial thoughts are to go with 2008 and 2017.

43
00:04:04,060 --> 00:04:10,180
‫But I don't think that's great because it will make it more difficult to compare between the two years.

44
00:04:10,210 --> 00:04:18,460
‫So I think it makes more sense to go with fossil fuels, which is oil, coal and gas, and then to go

45
00:04:18,460 --> 00:04:21,820
‫with everything else, which is other renewables and nuclear.

46
00:04:22,510 --> 00:04:25,240
‫Just for the sake of this plan, I'll just put others.

47
00:04:25,810 --> 00:04:29,370
‫So they're my two groups, fossil fuels and everything else.

48
00:04:29,830 --> 00:04:36,170
‫The next thing I want to do for my plan is to write a bit of an overview just to give me a general idea.

49
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:39,400
‫I'm going to want to write something for fossil fuels.

50
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:50,980
‫So generally I can see there is an overall decrease in the use of fossil fuels, which is, you know,

51
00:04:50,980 --> 00:04:56,400
‫understood, and then will go to others, which is other renewables and nuclear.

52
00:04:56,830 --> 00:05:04,000
‫And overall, there is an increase in use of everything else.

53
00:05:05,530 --> 00:05:08,470
‫OK, so that's my plan finished.

54
00:05:10,210 --> 00:05:18,130
‫OK, so it's now time for us to write our full task one report, you can see that I have my pie charts

55
00:05:18,130 --> 00:05:26,170
‫here and I have the question and the features checklist, which I'll try and make sure I'm using throughout

56
00:05:26,170 --> 00:05:28,540
‫the process of writing this report.

57
00:05:29,050 --> 00:05:32,470
‫We'll begin with the paraphrased introduction.

58
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:36,780
‫So I need to rewrite the first part of this question.

59
00:05:37,150 --> 00:05:44,780
‫The pie charts below show energy production in Spain in 2008 and 2017.

60
00:05:45,070 --> 00:05:51,910
‫So let's begin my introduction paragraph or sentence the pie charts.

61
00:05:51,910 --> 00:05:55,370
‫I can just keep that the same as really they only have one name.

62
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:57,470
‫The pie charts below show.

63
00:05:58,150 --> 00:06:01,600
‫Let me try and change the wording of this and paraphrase it.

64
00:06:01,630 --> 00:06:19,480
‫The pie charts represent the types and amounts of energy produced in Spain in two separate years and

65
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:23,230
‫I might add a hyphen just to change my grammar somewhat.

66
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:28,000
‫2008 and 2017.

67
00:06:30,060 --> 00:06:38,610
‫So that is my introduction paragraph complete, I now need to move on to my overview paragraph, and

68
00:06:38,610 --> 00:06:44,540
‫you'll remember in the plan I split this into fossil fuels and everything else.

69
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:48,210
‫So, as always, let's begin with overall.

70
00:06:48,990 --> 00:06:57,660
‫We can see that fossil fuels soar and decrease in use.

71
00:06:58,390 --> 00:07:10,260
‫And between the years of 2008 and 2017, looking at mixed opener's, let's try and use something else

72
00:07:10,260 --> 00:07:13,950
‫to start our discussion about the other types of energy.

73
00:07:15,060 --> 00:07:20,160
‫On the other hand, that's a great way to compare two different things.

74
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:36,060
‫On the other hand, other types of energy produced, such as nuclear saw an increase in production.

75
00:07:37,170 --> 00:07:37,800
‫There we go.

76
00:07:37,810 --> 00:07:42,170
‫So that is my overview paragraph complete.

77
00:07:43,020 --> 00:07:46,560
‫Let's now move on to our detailed paragraph.

78
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:53,970
‫And I'm sure you remember from the plan that group one was oil, coal and gas or fossil fuels.

79
00:07:54,270 --> 00:07:58,290
‫So I'm going to talk about fossil fuels in these two years.

80
00:07:58,290 --> 00:08:05,880
‫In my first detailed paragraph, let's make a general statement for fossil fuels in two thousand and

81
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:09,030
‫eight in 2008.

82
00:08:09,750 --> 00:08:17,730
‫One moment I will just make this slightly smaller to fit everything on screen in 2008, fossil fuels,

83
00:08:18,270 --> 00:08:22,620
‫which are oil, coal and gas.

84
00:08:22,980 --> 00:08:30,090
‫And you can see here by adding these separate pieces of information that I'm actually using a mix of

85
00:08:30,090 --> 00:08:44,100
‫sentence types which are oil, coal and gas, made up the largest portion of energy produced in 2008,

86
00:08:44,970 --> 00:08:46,050
‫the figure.

87
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:50,370
‫So I'm going to go into a figure now, be more specific in my details.

88
00:08:50,730 --> 00:08:56,550
‫The figure stood at twenty seven, twenty eight, twenty two.

89
00:08:56,550 --> 00:09:01,830
‫So we can say that that is just over seventy five percent.

90
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:06,870
‫The figure stood at just over seventy five percent.

91
00:09:07,260 --> 00:09:13,740
‫I should say that when you are quoting figures, you need to make sure that you are being accurate or

92
00:09:13,740 --> 00:09:15,860
‫you will lose marks in TASC achievements.

93
00:09:15,950 --> 00:09:17,180
‫Let me just check this again.

94
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:20,160
‫Yeah, that's seventy seven.

95
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:28,980
‫OK, a figure that stood at just over seventy five percent in comparison and it's good to make comparisons

96
00:09:28,980 --> 00:09:29,940
‫in your report.

97
00:09:30,450 --> 00:09:34,070
‫This figure dropped a sick.

98
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:35,730
‫I'm going to use an adverb now.

99
00:09:35,730 --> 00:09:39,480
‫So an adverb and a verb significantly.

100
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:44,940
‫Significantly and dropped to.

101
00:09:46,050 --> 00:09:46,590
‫Let's see.

102
00:09:46,590 --> 00:09:48,180
‫So we've got twenty three.

103
00:09:48,180 --> 00:09:56,730
‫Seventeen that makes up thirty, forty, sixty three percent significantly dropped to sixty three percent

104
00:09:56,730 --> 00:10:01,500
‫of total use in two thousand and seventeen.

105
00:10:01,860 --> 00:10:07,590
‫So I've given an overall picture of fossil fuels, which is my first group, and now I'm going to go

106
00:10:07,590 --> 00:10:12,750
‫into even more detail and discuss each type of energy separately.

107
00:10:12,990 --> 00:10:17,520
‫So let's start with oil on it.

108
00:10:17,550 --> 00:10:21,780
‫We'll start with coal, which is the largest amount, and I'll describe the drop.

109
00:10:22,110 --> 00:10:35,610
‫So in 2008, coal was the largest type of energy used at 28 percent.

110
00:10:37,470 --> 00:10:40,550
‫It also saw twenty eight percent.

111
00:10:40,560 --> 00:10:41,940
‫So here we got it.

112
00:10:42,450 --> 00:10:54,030
‫Also saw the largest drop in use in two thousand and seventeen to seventeen percent.

113
00:10:56,300 --> 00:11:04,100
‫OK, so that is coal, and we have described that we can now probably describe oil as that also saw

114
00:11:04,100 --> 00:11:07,730
‫a decrease in gas actually went up one percent.

115
00:11:07,730 --> 00:11:09,320
‫So we'll describe that last.

116
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:10,970
‫But let's move on to oil.

117
00:11:10,980 --> 00:11:16,550
‫So oil fell from twenty seven to twenty three percent in the same way.

118
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:22,130
‫And I'm using a different kind of opener here to make my report more interesting.

119
00:11:22,490 --> 00:11:35,150
‫In the same way, oil also saw a drop in production from twenty seven percent to twenty three percent.

120
00:11:36,380 --> 00:11:42,980
‫And I want to show a difference in the trend here because gas as a fossil fuel actually increased,

121
00:11:43,460 --> 00:11:48,050
‫on the other hand and really organized in my language.

122
00:11:48,050 --> 00:11:52,930
‫Now, gas rose slightly.

123
00:11:52,940 --> 00:12:00,530
‫I'm using an adverb slightly rose by one percent in use.

124
00:12:00,530 --> 00:12:01,190
‫That's fine.

125
00:12:01,190 --> 00:12:03,050
‫I'm not going to give specific dates.

126
00:12:03,260 --> 00:12:06,670
‫On the other hand, gas slightly rose by one percent in use.

127
00:12:06,680 --> 00:12:09,140
‫Let's take a quick look at our features checklist.

128
00:12:09,140 --> 00:12:12,340
‫So I have the paraphrased introduction and the overview.

129
00:12:12,350 --> 00:12:14,840
‫I don't my first detailed paragraph.

130
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:16,280
‫Clear grouping.

131
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:21,740
‫Yeah, I did that because I went in my plan with fossil fuels and other types of energy.

132
00:12:21,740 --> 00:12:23,210
‫So it's clear to see.

133
00:12:23,660 --> 00:12:25,910
‫And for the other points, let's take a look.

134
00:12:26,990 --> 00:12:28,730
‫Adverb and verb.

135
00:12:28,730 --> 00:12:35,390
‫Yeah, I've definitely been using adverbs and verbs adjective and now let's take a look for that.

136
00:12:36,570 --> 00:12:43,950
‫I can see here the largest portion that covers that one, so I've checked all these boxes, a mix of

137
00:12:43,950 --> 00:12:44,600
‫openers.

138
00:12:44,610 --> 00:12:48,620
‫Yes, I've definitely done that so far and mix of sentence types.

139
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:51,810
‫I've got some simple sentences.

140
00:12:51,810 --> 00:12:53,310
‫Complex sentences.

141
00:12:53,860 --> 00:12:54,180
‫Yes.

142
00:12:54,180 --> 00:12:58,230
‫So I'm using different structures in terms of sentence.

143
00:12:58,230 --> 00:13:03,060
‫Types will be going more detail in the next section of the course.

144
00:13:03,060 --> 00:13:06,750
‫So don't worry too much if you don't know a lot about that yet.

145
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:16,290
‫OK, so let's move on to my second detailed paragraph, which is describing other renewables and nuclear.

146
00:13:18,050 --> 00:13:30,620
‫I can start this off by saying other types of energy, other types of energy used in Spain, and I'm

147
00:13:30,620 --> 00:13:35,350
‫going to use brackets, which again is the grammar aspect of this report.

148
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:46,940
‫I'm using different punctuation to add detail outputs, nuclear, renewables, renewables and other

149
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:49,850
‫spelling mistake.

150
00:13:50,030 --> 00:13:58,640
‫You also must make sure that your spelling is accurate throughout this report, which also saw the largest

151
00:13:58,640 --> 00:13:58,940
‫drop.

152
00:13:59,060 --> 00:14:09,410
‫OK, so other types of energy used in Spain and nuclear renewables and other were less used in 2008,

153
00:14:10,970 --> 00:14:23,090
‫but saw an overall increase in use between increase in use in the next.

154
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:24,230
‫How many years?

155
00:14:24,230 --> 00:14:26,570
‫Between two thousand nine years.

156
00:14:28,310 --> 00:14:33,920
‫OK, so that's a kind of overall statement to start off paragraph to detail.

157
00:14:33,930 --> 00:14:36,860
‫Paragraph two, I'm now going to go into more detail.

158
00:14:37,340 --> 00:14:44,870
‫I will start with other, which moves from three percent to six percent and that is actually a double

159
00:14:44,870 --> 00:14:46,070
‫amount in.

160
00:14:46,070 --> 00:14:46,490
‫Right.

161
00:14:46,510 --> 00:14:48,530
‫So I'm going to write that in my report.

162
00:14:48,920 --> 00:15:07,100
‫And other types of energy production rose doubled in use from three percent to six percent in two thousand

163
00:15:07,100 --> 00:15:11,240
‫and seventeen, and renewables actually almost doubled as well.

164
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:15,920
‫So I'm going to say that it's a similar increase.

165
00:15:19,850 --> 00:15:20,870
‫Likewise.

166
00:15:22,830 --> 00:15:35,430
‫Renewable, green, renewable energy sources, energy sources almost doubled to almost two from nine

167
00:15:35,430 --> 00:15:41,670
‫percent to 16 percent of total use.

168
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:55,920
‫Nuclear also saw an increase in energy production from 11 percent to 17 percent.

169
00:15:57,060 --> 00:16:03,660
‫OK, so there might to detail a paragraph, let's have a read back through and make sure everything

170
00:16:03,660 --> 00:16:04,350
‫is that.

171
00:16:07,060 --> 00:16:13,600
‫So let's take a read back through the pie charts represent the types and amounts of energy produced

172
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:19,150
‫in Spain in two separate years, 2008 and 2017.

173
00:16:19,900 --> 00:16:29,110
‫Overall, we can see that fossil fuels saw a decrease in use between the years of 2008 and 2010 17.

174
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:32,500
‫That's my fossil fuel sensors and the other types.

175
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:39,400
‫On the other hand, other types of energy produced, such as nuclear saw an increase in production.

176
00:16:39,790 --> 00:16:44,960
‫Okay, so that's definitely these two boxes that I know that I've got the detailed paragraphs and great.

177
00:16:45,030 --> 00:16:47,410
‫And so these are very much ticked off.

178
00:16:47,410 --> 00:16:56,440
‫My features checklist in 2008, fossil fuels, which are oil, coal and gas, made up the largest portion

179
00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:58,840
‫of energy produced in 2008.

180
00:16:59,350 --> 00:17:03,190
‫The figure stood at just over 75 percent.

181
00:17:03,670 --> 00:17:11,950
‫In comparison, this figure significantly dropped to 63 percent of total use in 2010 17.

182
00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:19,230
‫In 2008, coal was the largest type of energy used at 28 percent.

183
00:17:19,540 --> 00:17:24,640
‫You can see that I'm really being specific about details and times.

184
00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:32,500
‫It also saw the largest drop in use in 2000 and 17 to 17 percent.

185
00:17:33,070 --> 00:17:41,770
‫In the same way, oil also saw a drop in production from twenty seven percent, which is here to 23

186
00:17:41,770 --> 00:17:42,340
‫percent.

187
00:17:42,890 --> 00:17:44,800
‫And I've got this open, which I like.

188
00:17:44,980 --> 00:17:49,900
‫On the other hand, a gas slightly rose by one percent.

189
00:17:51,340 --> 00:18:00,760
‫Other types of energy used in Spain, nuclear, renewables and other were less used in 2008, but saw

190
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:04,580
‫an overall increase in use in the next nine years.

191
00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:13,180
‫Other types of energy production doubled in use from three percent to six percent in two thousand and

192
00:18:13,180 --> 00:18:13,850
‫seventeen.

193
00:18:14,980 --> 00:18:24,600
‫Likewise, renewable energy sources almost doubled to from nine percent to 16 percent of total use of

194
00:18:25,380 --> 00:18:33,100
‫nuclear also saw an increase in energy production from 11 percent to 17 percent.

195
00:18:34,630 --> 00:18:38,030
‫So that really brings us to the end of this task.

196
00:18:38,050 --> 00:18:46,840
‫One report alive writing session, please do let me know if you found this useful, because I want to

197
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:51,720
‫keep creating lessons for you to help with your child's preparation.

198
00:18:52,450 --> 00:18:53,200
‫All the best.
