TASK #2 IELTS


The world is experiencing a dramatic increase in population, This is causing problems not only for poor, undeveloped countries, but also for industrialised and developing nations.
Describe some of the problems that overpopulation causes, and suggest at least one possible solution.
  • You should write at least 250 words.
  • You should spend about 40 minutes on this task.

The irregular increase of the world population is causing a serie of urban problems that have being prejudicial to all population. These problems are relating to traffic in rush hours, the high price of little houses or apartments, and the increase of the social differences. This problem can be observed around the world, in rich or poor countries.

The overpopulation is increasing with the number of the car in the streets. In cities where is the core of some industry or business, like New York City in the United States or Sao Paolo in Brazil, depend on the hour, is extremely complicated driving. For this, people are adapting to use public transportation, such as subway, train or bus. 

Another problem that can be related is the hight price of the houses and apartments. In some countries, because of the reduce space available, the owners and companies sell their apartments with an unbelievable price. 

In the same way, the social differences are increasing like the population. Not only in undeveloped countries, but also in developed countries the number of poor people who do not have a job or a opportunity to show their abilities is absurd. 

Some countries are creating laws against the growing, restringing the number of children a woman can be, or if she has a soon or daughter and this is against the law, she the soon/daughter's father have to pay a fee for the government. 

Each country have to control the increasing of the population and to control their economy, because this increasing can result in tragic problems and also can affect the development of the world.

IELTS Task 1 #1


My answer

The bar graph illustrates the challenges that people achieve when they are in other country, separated by age,  in people with age between 18 to 34, 35 to 35 and over 55 ages. The bar graph shows three aspects that people faces, like learning another language, finding somewhere to live and making friends.

People over 55 years have how the most challenge reported the learning a new language, counting in 55 percent against the 22 percent in finding somewhere to live and 23 percent to make friends.  People who age is between 35 to 54 years don't have high variances in these three challenges. 46 percent of the people with age between 18 and 34 have "make friends" how the high challenge, following by 40 percent to finding somewhere to live and 29 percent to learning the local language.

Finally, the bar graph shows the differences between the challenges in three distinct groups of age and can be observed that the three challenges are distributed in different amounts.

WORDS: 168.

Model Ansewar

The chart shows the challenges people face when they settle in a new country and how the challenges vary according to people’s ages. The most challenging aspect for young people aged 18 to 34 is making new friends, a problem experienced by 46% of the people in this age group. 

However, only 36% of 35 - 54 year olds find it hard to make friends, while even fewer people over 55 (23%) have this problem. 54% of the older age group finds learning the local language the biggest obstacle when settling. In comparison, the youngest age group finds this easier, and the percentage of people who have problems learning the language is much lower, at only 29%. 

In contrast to their language-learning difficulties, only 22% of people in the oldest age group have trouble finding accommodation. However, this is the second most significant problem for the other two age groups with 39% to 40% of the people in each group finding it hard. 

In general, all age groups experience the same problems to some extent, but people over the age of 55 reported that they face markedly fewer challenges settling in a new country than their younger respondents.
