Version 1: Band 6.0-6.5
The table shows the amount of water used for domestic, agricultural, and industrial purposes in six countries: Australia, Canada, China, Russia, Turkey, and the UK. The units are in cubic meters.
Overall, it can be seen that agricultural water usage is generally the highest in most countries, except for Canada, where domestic and industrial water consumption are relatively high.
Australia has the highest domestic water usage at 341 m³, while China has the lowest at only 26 m³. Agricultural water usage is highest in Russia, with 1863 m³, while the UK uses the least in this sector at 810 m³. Industrial water usage is highest in Canada (832 m³), while Russia and China use the least at 56 m³ and 71 m³, respectively.
In summary, agricultural water usage dominates in most countries, while industrial water usage is particularly significant in Canada and Turkey.
Version 2: Band 7.0-7.5
The table illustrates water consumption for domestic, agricultural, and industrial sectors across six countries, with figures measured in cubic meters.
Overall, agricultural water use is the largest sector in most countries, especially in Russia and Turkey, while industrial water use is notably high in Canada. Domestic water usage is highest in Australia, whereas China has the lowest figures across all three sectors.
In terms of domestic usage, Australia leads with 341 m³, whereas China registers just 26 m³. Russia uses the most water for agriculture (1863 m³), followed by Turkey at 1482 m³, while the UK consumes the least (810 m³). Industrial usage is the highest in Canada (832 m³), with the lowest values found in Russia (56 m³) and China (71 m³).
In conclusion, agricultural water use is predominant in most of the countries, while Canada stands out for its high industrial water consumption.
Version 3: Band 8.0-8.5
The table provides detailed data on water consumption in three sectors — domestic, agricultural, and industrial — for six countries: Australia, Canada, China, Russia, Turkey, and the UK. Water use is measured in cubic meters.
A glance at the table reveals that agricultural water use is the most substantial in four of the six countries, with Russia and Turkey having the highest figures in this category. In contrast, Canada is characterized by its high levels of industrial water consumption, surpassing other countries significantly.
Australia reports the highest domestic water consumption, with 341 m³, while China has the lowest, at just 26 m³. In the agricultural sector, Russia and Turkey lead, with 1863 m³ and 1482 m³, respectively, whereas the UK consumes the least, at 810 m³. Industrial water use is most pronounced in Canada (832 m³), while Russia and China show the lowest consumption, at 56 m³ and 71 m³, respectively.
In conclusion, agricultural water use tends to dominate, except in Canada, where industrial usage is markedly higher. Domestic water use is highest in Australia, and China consistently shows the lowest figures across all sectors.
Here’s a detailed breakdown of how each version of the IELTS Task 1 report differs according to the required band scores. The differences include complexity in vocabulary, sentence structure, grammar accuracy, and cohesion.
Version 1: Band 6.0-6.5
Characteristics:
- Vocabulary: Basic vocabulary is used to describe the data without much variation. Words like “shows,” “highest,” “lowest,” and “seen” are common and simple.
- Sentence Structure: Short, simple sentences dominate, and ideas are connected with basic transitions like “while,” “and,” or “overall.”
- Complexity: The report avoids complex grammatical structures. It’s direct but lacks sophistication in analysis.
- Cohesion: Basic cohesive devices are used, such as “in summary” or “overall.” However, the report might be repetitive in wording and doesn’t use many linking phrases to smoothly transition between points.
- Accuracy: Grammar is generally accurate but simple. There may be some awkward phrasing, but it’s mostly correct.
Examples:
- Simple phrases: “Overall, it can be seen that agricultural water usage is generally the highest in most countries.”
- Basic transitions: “while China has the lowest at only 26 m³.”
- Few complex structures: There is little use of advanced linking or relative clauses.
Version 2: Band 7.0-7.5
Characteristics:
- Vocabulary: There’s a wider variety of words, including some synonyms like “illustrates,” “registers,” and “notably,” which shows more lexical range.
- Sentence Structure: More complex sentences are used, including relative clauses and subordinate clauses (e.g., “while industrial water use is notably high in Canada”).
- Complexity: The report shows some variation in sentence length and structure, using conditional phrases, compound sentences, and conjunctions.
- Cohesion: Better use of linking words like “in terms of,” “whereas,” and “followed by” ensures smoother transitions. There’s less repetition, and more effort is made to connect ideas logically.
- Accuracy: Grammar is accurate with more variation in structures. There’s better control over verb tenses and comparative phrases.
Examples:
- Varied phrases: “while industrial water use is notably high in Canada.”
- Comparative structures: “Australia leads with 341 m³, whereas China registers just 26 m³.”
- Cohesive devices: “In terms of domestic usage,” “whereas,” and “followed by.”
Version 3: Band 8.0-8.5
Characteristics:
- Vocabulary: More advanced and varied vocabulary is used, such as “provides detailed data,” “substantial,” “pronounced,” “consistently,” and “characterized by.” These phrases show sophistication and a greater range of word choice.
- Sentence Structure: More complex sentence structures are used, with embedded clauses and more intricate comparisons (e.g., “surpassing other countries significantly”). The sentences are longer, more nuanced, and show a variety of forms, including passive voice.
- Complexity: There’s an effort to provide deeper analysis with detailed comparisons and intricate structures. Advanced grammar is used, such as participial phrases, relative clauses, and advanced comparatives.
- Cohesion: The flow of ideas is very smooth with a range of linking devices such as “a glance at the table reveals,” “in contrast,” and “in conclusion.” The report avoids repetitive sentence starters and uses a variety of structures to keep the text engaging and fluid.
- Accuracy: The grammar is highly accurate with a diverse range of structures, showing control over more complex grammatical elements like passives and perfect tenses.
Examples:
- Advanced phrases: “provides detailed data on water consumption,” “A glance at the table reveals,” “Canada is characterized by its high levels of industrial water consumption.”
- Advanced structures: “In contrast, Canada is characterized by its high levels of industrial water consumption, surpassing other countries significantly.”
- Cohesive devices: “A glance at the table reveals,” “In contrast,” “In conclusion.”
Detailed Breakdown of Differences:
- Vocabulary Range:
- Band 6.0-6.5: Limited to basic words like “shows,” “highest,” and “lowest.”
- Band 7.0-7.5: Synonyms are used for variety, e.g., “illustrates,” “registers,” and “notably.”
- Band 8.0-8.5: Advanced word choices, such as “substantial,” “pronounced,” and “characterized by.”
- Sentence Structure:
- Band 6.0-6.5: Simple sentences or basic compound sentences (joined with “and” or “while”).
- Band 7.0-7.5: Compound and complex sentences with some use of relative clauses and subordinate clauses.
- Band 8.0-8.5: Complex structures, longer sentences with subordinate and relative clauses, and passive constructions.
- Cohesion and Coherence:
- Band 6.0-6.5: Basic linking words (e.g., “while,” “and”).
- Band 7.0-7.5: Varied transitions like “in terms of,” “whereas,” and “followed by.”
- Band 8.0-8.5: High-level cohesive devices (e.g., “a glance at the table reveals,” “in contrast,” “surpassing other countries”).
- Comparisons and Analysis:
- Band 6.0-6.5: Basic comparisons, such as “highest” and “lowest.”
- Band 7.0-7.5: More thoughtful comparisons, e.g., “Australia leads,” “registers just.”
- Band 8.0-8.5: Deeper analysis, e.g., “Canada is characterized by its high levels of industrial water consumption.”
- Grammatical Range and Accuracy:
- Band 6.0-6.5: Grammar is simple and accurate, but without variety.
- Band 7.0-7.5: More complex grammar with relative clauses, comparatives, and accurate tense usage.
- Band 8.0-8.5: Control of a wide range of grammatical structures including passives, complex comparatives, and perfect tenses.
