IELTS Bar Graph - Model Answer

The bar chart shows the scores of three teams, A, B and C, in four consecutive seasons. It is

evident from the chart that team B scored far higher than the other two teams over the seasons,

though their score decreased as a whole over the period.

In 2002, the score of team B far exceeded that of the other two teams, standing at a massive 82

points compared to only 10 for team C and a very low 5 for team A. Over the next two years, the

points for team B decreased quite considerably, dropping by around half to 43 by 2004. In

contrast, team A’s points had increased by a massive 600% to reach 35 points, nearly equal with

team B. Team C, meanwhile, had managed only a small increase over this time. In the final year,

team B remained ahead of the others as their points increased again to 55, while team A and C

saw their points drop to 8 and 5 respectively.
