Look into the sample of IELTS Academic writing task 1. You will be given 20 minutes to accomplish this task.

Given:

Analyze the given two figures:
– the pie chart showing the reasons for low production of agricultural land
– the table showing the three affected regions of the world during 1990’s

IELTS Academic writing Task 1:

Summarize the information of the given figures by selecting and featuring the main characteristics, and also compare them where relevant.

Write at least 150 words.

The pie chart represents four key factors due to which the farming land is deteriorating day by day. As per given records, 65% of total agricultural land is getting affected by logging of trees and animals over-eating, comprised of 35% and 30% respectively. Furthermore, over cultivation of crops has also deteriorated 28% of land and some other factors contributed 7% to the total.

In 1990’s, these three traits had huge negative impact on the agricultural land of different regions of the world. Starting with deforestation, it degraded 9.8% farmland of Europe,1.7% of Oceania whereas in North America, it could damage only 0.2% of land. Not only this, over-cultivation too had a great influence on the Europe’s land which lead to its 7.7% degradation. However, in North America, this damage was reported as 3.3% and in Oceania, no land got affected due to over-cultivation issue. But Oceania could not protect itself from overgrazing which worsened its 11.3% of land. North America’s 1.5% and Europe’s 5.5% land was suffered due to overgrazing only.

Taking everything into account, it is concluded that Europe experienced the maximum degradation in its land where deforestation and over-cultivation had significant contribution.
