1
00:00:02,030 --> 00:00:11,120
‫Hello, everyone, and welcome to another task, one modeled writing lesson in this lesson, we're going

2
00:00:11,120 --> 00:00:16,410
‫to be looking at a task, one question that involves bar charts.

3
00:00:17,180 --> 00:00:26,900
‫Now, any task, one question that has charts, dress or tables is going to need a very similar report.

4
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:33,150
‫So the structure, the vocabulary, the language is going to be very similar.

5
00:00:33,650 --> 00:00:43,400
‫However, I think it's highly useful to you to see me model write more than one question so you can

6
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:50,660
‫see me go through the process again from the very beginning, see in the question to making a plan and

7
00:00:50,660 --> 00:00:52,880
‫then writing the report.

8
00:00:53,660 --> 00:01:00,140
‫So before we take a look at the question, let's go over the checklist one more time.

9
00:01:01,490 --> 00:01:10,070
‫This features checklist is exactly the same for any graph, chart or table question, because the language

10
00:01:10,070 --> 00:01:16,630
‫is going to be the same in terms of the adverb plus verb, the adjective plus.

11
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:25,340
‫Now we can use both those features for any graph, chart or table question at the top.

12
00:01:25,340 --> 00:01:27,240
‫The top four features in red.

13
00:01:27,410 --> 00:01:35,660
‫We have our features for organization structure and answering the question and below engrain.

14
00:01:35,660 --> 00:01:39,680
‫We have features for vocabulary and grammar.

15
00:01:40,490 --> 00:01:48,440
‫I really do recommend trying to use this features checklist when you are practicing writing a report.

16
00:01:49,670 --> 00:01:53,530
‫Let's move on to taking a look at this question.

17
00:01:55,840 --> 00:02:04,270
‫The bar charts show household expenditure across four main areas in the UK, Australia and Japan in

18
00:02:04,270 --> 00:02:14,530
‫2013, summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features and make comparisons where

19
00:02:14,530 --> 00:02:15,310
‫relevant.

20
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:18,390
‫OK, so that is our question.

21
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:23,660
‫And now it's time to take a look at the visual information that we have.

22
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:29,080
‫Imagine that I have just been shown this on my actual test date.

23
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:38,020
‫I'm just going to spend a short amount of time having a look over this data and getting a better understanding

24
00:02:38,140 --> 00:02:41,320
‫about the visual information given to me.

25
00:02:42,920 --> 00:02:53,270
‫As always, begin with the title, Household Expenditure in Three Countries in 2013, so this title

26
00:02:53,270 --> 00:03:00,440
‫is telling me exactly what the bar chart is showing me household expenditure in three countries.

27
00:03:01,130 --> 00:03:08,000
‫Now, let's move along to having a better look at what we are being shown on the Y axis.

28
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:17,270
‫We have percentages from 25 percent down to zero, which is the total household expenditure along the

29
00:03:17,270 --> 00:03:17,780
‫bottom.

30
00:03:17,780 --> 00:03:19,330
‫On the x axis.

31
00:03:19,340 --> 00:03:28,370
‫We have four types of household expenditure housing, health care, food and transportation.

32
00:03:29,330 --> 00:03:38,510
‫Underneath this, we can see the three color coded countries, which is in orange, the UK, in black

33
00:03:38,510 --> 00:03:41,670
‫Australia and in grey Japan.

34
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:50,510
‫So I've got a better understanding about the big picture of what that data is showing me, but I haven't

35
00:03:50,510 --> 00:03:53,810
‫yet really looked at specific figures.

36
00:03:54,860 --> 00:04:01,430
‫So I've taken a quick look at the visual information, and it's now time that we make a short plan.

37
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:13,320
‫So I now need to think about my grouping for this question, so let's take a quick look at the bar chart

38
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:13,850
‫again.

39
00:04:14,430 --> 00:04:16,650
‫I need two groups.

40
00:04:16,650 --> 00:04:23,550
‫So we've got three countries say maybe not grouping by country is it's an odd number and I need two

41
00:04:23,550 --> 00:04:31,830
‫groups, but maybe it would make sense if we group housing and health care into Group One and Food and

42
00:04:31,830 --> 00:04:34,230
‫Transportation Inter-Group two.

43
00:04:34,620 --> 00:04:35,520
‫Let's go with that.

44
00:04:35,850 --> 00:04:48,150
‫Group one, we have housing and health care and in group two will go with food and transportation,

45
00:04:48,390 --> 00:04:52,500
‫transportation and OK, save for the overview.

46
00:04:53,520 --> 00:05:06,000
‫Let's have H.H. for housing and health care and we'll say overall we can say high spending for both.

47
00:05:07,430 --> 00:05:16,610
‫Hatake, housing and health care, although not high for health in the UK.

48
00:05:17,450 --> 00:05:23,150
‫That's quite long, but that's okay is not going into too much specific detail, which we don't want

49
00:05:23,150 --> 00:05:24,170
‫in the overview.

50
00:05:24,740 --> 00:05:36,890
‫And let's do F.T., which is food and transportation, food and transportation seems to be all under

51
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:41,980
‫20 percent of total expenditure.

52
00:05:43,370 --> 00:05:44,610
‫And I'll just show you now.

53
00:05:44,630 --> 00:05:52,310
‫So for food and transportation in all three countries, there is not one country spending more than

54
00:05:52,310 --> 00:05:53,340
‫20 percent.

55
00:05:53,360 --> 00:06:00,620
‫So all countries spend less than 20 percent of their total expenditure on both food and transportation.

56
00:06:01,310 --> 00:06:09,290
‫Now, you may think that I've gone into giving a figure or a fact for this, for the food transportation.

57
00:06:09,500 --> 00:06:13,420
‫But it's an overall statement, and that's what the overview is.

58
00:06:13,610 --> 00:06:21,230
‫It gives us an overall idea of what is happening in the data and then in the detailed paragraphs, we

59
00:06:21,230 --> 00:06:23,630
‫can go into more specific figures.

60
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:32,930
‫OK, so that is my plan finished will now move on to actually writing this report.

61
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:39,230
‫So I'm going to need to start with my paraphrased introduction again.

62
00:06:39,230 --> 00:06:42,280
‫Let's take a look at the first part of the question.

63
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:51,830
‫The bar charts show household expenditure across four main areas housing, health care, food and transportation

64
00:06:52,550 --> 00:06:57,660
‫in the UK, Australia and Japan in 2013.

65
00:06:58,070 --> 00:07:08,900
‫So let's begin the bar charts that given just change it a little bit that given bar charts present.

66
00:07:11,580 --> 00:07:12,540
‫Total.

67
00:07:13,630 --> 00:07:19,690
‫Household expenditure, household spending's I'm using a synonym here.

68
00:07:20,740 --> 00:07:26,260
‫For expenditure across four common.

69
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:28,190
‫Areas.

70
00:07:31,050 --> 00:07:33,570
‫In three countries.

71
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:41,890
‫And here I will use a semicolon to begin a list, the UK.

72
00:07:44,820 --> 00:07:48,420
‫Australia and Japan

73
00:07:51,030 --> 00:07:54,540
‫have three countries, the UK, Australia for three countries

74
00:07:57,990 --> 00:08:02,910
‫and less at that date as well in 2013.

75
00:08:02,970 --> 00:08:06,090
‫OK, so let's read that back and make sure it's OK.

76
00:08:08,180 --> 00:08:17,150
‫Spending for given Bajada present total household spending across four common areas in three countries

77
00:08:17,150 --> 00:08:21,650
‫in 2013, the UK, Australia and Japan.

78
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:23,820
‫Yeah, that sounds quite good to me.

79
00:08:23,930 --> 00:08:27,950
‫So that's my paraphrased introduction complete.

80
00:08:28,730 --> 00:08:34,400
‫Now we'll move on to our overview in the plan.

81
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:41,960
‫I greet Housing and Health Care Inter-Group one and Food and Transportation Inter-Group two, and I

82
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:50,720
‫noted that housing and health care were high expenditure areas at set for the UK in health care and

83
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:52,260
‫for food and transportation.

84
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:58,250
‫I noted that all countries spent under 20 percent, which you can see here.

85
00:08:58,260 --> 00:09:02,300
‫So that's what I'll write for general statements in my overview.

86
00:09:02,700 --> 00:09:05,590
‫And as ever, we begin with overall.

87
00:09:05,810 --> 00:09:08,540
‫So let's begin with group on housing and health care.

88
00:09:08,810 --> 00:09:28,460
‫Overall, housing and health care are mainly mostly high areas of expenditure for all three countries.

89
00:09:29,510 --> 00:09:33,500
‫Now, I'm not going to mention the UK here, actually.

90
00:09:33,500 --> 00:09:42,200
‫I'm just going to say a mostly, which indicates that not every single country spending high, but overall,

91
00:09:42,530 --> 00:09:46,030
‫most countries are spending high on housing and health care.

92
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:50,300
‫So that's group one done for my overview and group to.

93
00:09:51,050 --> 00:09:52,010
‫Let's take a look.

94
00:09:53,280 --> 00:10:04,880
‫So are high energy expenditure for all three countries, on the other hand, for both food and transportation.

95
00:10:08,650 --> 00:10:22,760
‫X y, food and transportation spending for all countries do not exceed 20 percent of total spending.

96
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:27,380
‫And here you can see the other added spending, spending twice.

97
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:33,430
‫I don't like repeating myself in my writing, so I need to think of another word for this.

98
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:37,760
‫I could use expenditure as, I mean, a different sentence.

99
00:10:37,780 --> 00:10:41,770
‫So let's write expenditure here.

100
00:10:42,550 --> 00:10:43,780
‫Expenditure.

101
00:10:43,820 --> 00:10:45,740
‫OK, so let's read this back.

102
00:10:46,090 --> 00:10:52,720
‫Overall housing and health care are mostly high areas of expenditure for all three countries.

103
00:10:53,140 --> 00:10:59,470
‫On the other hand, and we've got a nice open there, both food and transportation spending for all

104
00:10:59,470 --> 00:11:04,810
‫countries do not exceed 20 percent of total expenditure.

105
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:08,690
‫So there we have it.

106
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:16,870
‫That is my overview, complete, so it's time to move on to our detailed paragraphs and group one,

107
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:19,680
‫we have housing and health care.

108
00:11:19,910 --> 00:11:23,090
‫So let's start writing for this.

109
00:11:25,670 --> 00:11:33,410
‫I'll begin by making an overall statement about housing, I can see that all three countries are spending

110
00:11:33,410 --> 00:11:35,540
‫over 20 percent on housing.

111
00:11:35,540 --> 00:11:38,150
‫So that's what I will start with.

112
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:54,920
‫All three countries, the U.K., Australia and Japan spend over 20 percent of their total budget on

113
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:55,700
‫housing.

114
00:11:58,540 --> 00:12:08,850
‫On housing, let's add a hyphen just to add a bit more detail, the highest being in great we have Japan

115
00:12:09,490 --> 00:12:13,570
‫and it looks like they're spending around twenty six percent.

116
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:25,120
‫So let's say around twenty six percent, the highest being Japan with around twenty six percent of spending

117
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:27,700
‫of total outlay.

118
00:12:28,090 --> 00:12:36,280
‫I don't want to repeat myself too often of total outlay going towards accommodation.

119
00:12:36,460 --> 00:12:41,830
‫Again, I don't want to keep repeating myself with housing, housing, housing, accommodation is perfectly

120
00:12:41,830 --> 00:12:42,230
‫fine.

121
00:12:43,090 --> 00:12:46,900
‫OK, so that's my first part done for housing.

122
00:12:46,900 --> 00:12:49,720
‫Let's describe health care.

123
00:12:51,750 --> 00:12:53,520
‫And, of course, check the spelling.

124
00:12:54,330 --> 00:13:01,740
‫OK, so health care is quite interesting because Australia and Japan both spend quite a lot on health

125
00:13:01,740 --> 00:13:08,310
‫care, whereas in the U.K. it's definitely a lower figure, significantly lower we might.

126
00:13:08,310 --> 00:13:08,940
‫Right.

127
00:13:10,020 --> 00:13:15,360
‫So he could say, on the other hand, health care law, how can we compare them?

128
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:28,550
‫Health care is also a major area of spending for both Australia.

129
00:13:30,630 --> 00:13:32,010
‫And Japan.

130
00:13:33,590 --> 00:13:45,560
‫Who spend how much is Australia spending, let's say 20 to 30 who spend around twenty two percent and

131
00:13:45,560 --> 00:13:53,010
‫Japan is 20 percent and 20 percent respectively, respectively.

132
00:13:53,030 --> 00:13:58,690
‫It's a great way to link figures to nouns, to names.

133
00:13:58,940 --> 00:14:06,800
‫So if I say respectively, it means twenty two goes to Australia, the first figures and Nankivell and

134
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:12,620
‫20 percent goes to Japan, the second name or second figure given.

135
00:14:12,650 --> 00:14:14,530
‫So it links these together.

136
00:14:15,830 --> 00:14:22,260
‫OK, and we also want to mention that the UK is spending significantly lower.

137
00:14:23,810 --> 00:14:24,440
‫However.

138
00:14:25,580 --> 00:14:38,990
‫Another great eye opener in the U.K., this figure is significantly lower at around seven percent of

139
00:14:38,990 --> 00:14:42,320
‫total money spent.

140
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:49,430
‫OK, so that brings us to the end of our first detailed paragraph.

141
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:52,790
‫I've got lots of figures and detail in here.

142
00:14:53,110 --> 00:14:57,010
‫It's now time to move on to food and transportation.

143
00:14:58,390 --> 00:15:07,060
‫OK, so let's take a quick look at food costs so everyone seems to be spending between 10 and let's

144
00:15:07,060 --> 00:15:12,920
‫say 18 percent or 10 yet 10 to 18 percent, let's say.

145
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:17,680
‫So let's start off with that food expenses.

146
00:15:19,230 --> 00:15:22,020
‫For all three countries

147
00:15:24,540 --> 00:15:31,440
‫lie between is it turn it around 11, 11.

148
00:15:33,150 --> 00:15:46,350
‫To and I think the UK spends the most at around, let's say, 17, 11 to 17 percent of total money spent

149
00:15:46,380 --> 00:15:47,920
‫on repeating myself again.

150
00:15:47,940 --> 00:15:50,340
‫So let's try and change something.

151
00:15:51,390 --> 00:15:54,990
‫Expenditure again is OK, because we haven't said that recently.

152
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:56,460
‫Expenditure.

153
00:15:57,330 --> 00:15:58,160
‫OK.

154
00:15:59,230 --> 00:16:06,820
‫Let's go into a bit more detail about the spending on food, so maybe I could describe the lowest and

155
00:16:06,820 --> 00:16:08,350
‫highest amounts.

156
00:16:09,130 --> 00:16:13,080
‫Australia is the lowest and the UK is the highest.

157
00:16:13,100 --> 00:16:31,180
‫So Australia, Australia's total outlay for food was around 11 percent, whereas the highest spenders.

158
00:16:33,220 --> 00:16:38,590
‫Standards for eating, we could say, just said we're not repeating food, the highest standards for

159
00:16:38,590 --> 00:16:47,650
‫eating were in the U.K. at about 17 percent of total spending.

160
00:16:49,220 --> 00:16:55,790
‫OK, I just have a quick read through, and I think that's food described food expenses for all three

161
00:16:55,790 --> 00:16:59,810
‫countries lay between 11 to 17 percent of expenditure.

162
00:17:00,500 --> 00:17:07,700
‫Australia's total outlay for food was around 11 percent, whereas the highest spenders for eating were

163
00:17:07,700 --> 00:17:11,540
‫in the UK at about 17 percent of total spending.

164
00:17:12,110 --> 00:17:13,890
‫Okay, that sounds good to me.

165
00:17:13,940 --> 00:17:16,880
‫Let's take a look at transportation.

166
00:17:18,260 --> 00:17:23,560
‫Is there anything that I notice comparing these two sets of data?

167
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:35,540
‫So I have Australia and Japan spend more on transportation than they do food, whereas the UK spends

168
00:17:35,540 --> 00:17:37,490
‫the same amount per fact.

169
00:17:37,490 --> 00:17:40,760
‫That's something that I can quite nicely describe here.

170
00:17:42,110 --> 00:17:53,610
‫Both Japan and Australia spend more significantly, spend slightly more.

171
00:17:54,230 --> 00:18:03,290
‫So I've got an adverb spend slightly more on transportation than food.

172
00:18:04,130 --> 00:18:19,580
‫Whereas in the UK the figure for spending on food and transportation remains the same at around 17 per

173
00:18:19,580 --> 00:18:20,180
‫cent.

174
00:18:20,180 --> 00:18:24,290
‫And I've just noticed a slight spelling mistake that I take.

175
00:18:24,290 --> 00:18:26,610
‫So let's read this second debate.

176
00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:34,100
‫Both Japan and Australia spend slightly more on transportation than food, whereas in the UK the figure

177
00:18:34,100 --> 00:18:38,800
‫for spending on food and transportation remains the same at around 17 percent.

178
00:18:39,050 --> 00:18:43,320
‫And this is just giving a bit more detail and specific figures.

179
00:18:44,030 --> 00:18:48,350
‫OK, so that's my second detailed paragraph complete.

180
00:18:48,360 --> 00:18:51,470
‫Let's take a read through the whole report.

181
00:18:53,190 --> 00:19:00,270
‫The given bar charts present total household spending across four common areas in three countries in

182
00:19:00,270 --> 00:19:04,810
‫2013 the UK, Australia and Japan.

183
00:19:05,610 --> 00:19:12,810
‫Overall, housing and health care are mostly high areas of expenditure for all three countries.

184
00:19:13,950 --> 00:19:21,510
‫On the other hand, both food and transportation spending for all countries do not exceed 20 percent

185
00:19:21,510 --> 00:19:23,430
‫of total expenditure.

186
00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:32,220
‫All three countries, the U.K., Australia and Japan, spend over 20 percent of their total budget on

187
00:19:32,220 --> 00:19:40,740
‫housing, the highest being Japan, with around 26 percent of total outlay going towards accommodation.

188
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:41,710
‫There you go.

189
00:19:42,660 --> 00:19:49,200
‫Health care is also a major area of spending for both Australia and Japan.

190
00:19:49,230 --> 00:19:51,390
‫So this figure here.

191
00:19:54,020 --> 00:19:58,790
‫Who spend around 22 percent and 20 percent, respectively.

192
00:19:59,540 --> 00:20:06,920
‫However, in the U.K., this figure is significantly lower at around seven percent of total money spent.

193
00:20:08,100 --> 00:20:15,930
‫Food expenses for all three countries lay between 11 to 17 percent of expenditure, Australia's total

194
00:20:15,930 --> 00:20:22,410
‫outlay for food was around 11 percent, whereas the highest spenders for eating were in the UK at about

195
00:20:22,410 --> 00:20:26,740
‫17 percent of total spending, which is here.

196
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:34,440
‫Both Japan and Australia spend slightly more on transportation than food, whereas in the UK the figure

197
00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:40,190
‫for spending on food and transportation remains the same at around 17 percent.

198
00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:48,350
‫Now, taking a quick look over our features checklist, the one that stands out to me is the adverb,

199
00:20:48,360 --> 00:20:51,930
‫verb, vocabulary, grammar, sentence type.

200
00:20:52,260 --> 00:20:59,790
‫Now, we haven't really included much of this, and I think that's because we aren't comparing between

201
00:20:59,790 --> 00:21:02,550
‫different times, different years.

202
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:04,870
‫But that's perfectly fine.

203
00:21:04,930 --> 00:21:09,360
‫You will find that not always you need to use certain features.

204
00:21:09,810 --> 00:21:12,630
‫And that brings us to the end of this lesson.

206
00:21:19,110 --> 00:21:20,360
