IELTS Essay: Combined Pie Chart and Table

The table and pie chart illustrate populations in Australia according to different
nationalities and areas. Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main
features and make comparisons where relevant.

The pie chart and table detail population figures in Australia and if residents tended to live in
rural or urban areas. Looking from an overall perspective, it is readily apparent that the vast
majority of the population is Australian, followed by sizeable numbers for other and British
nationals, and more marginal figures for New Zealanders, Chinese, and the Dutch. All
demographics live overwhelmingly in cities, especially individuals from China.

The pie chart indicates that 73% of the Australian population is made up of Australians
themselves. This figure is followed distantly by other at 14%, residents from Great Britain at 7%,
New Zealanders at 3%, Chinese at 2%, and people from the Netherlands at just 1%.

In terms of livings areas, Australians are most likely to live outside cities, though 80% still live in
urban environments. Similarly, 83% of the Dutch live in cities and 17% in the countryside. British
and New Zealand residents display nearly identical proportions with around 90% in cities. Finally,
the Chinese live predominately in the cities (99%).

why did you use past and present tenses to explain the same context?

There are slight variations that might make it a little confusing – I changed them to
present to make it a little more consistent and easier for students.

Thanks for the feedback, Di!
