The line graph below shows the production of paper, wood pulp and sawn wood in the UK from 1980 to 2000.
Summarise the information by selecting and reporting main features and make comparisons where relevant.

Line graph production of paper, wood pulp and sawn wood in the UK

Sample Answer:

The linear representation provides information about the production of three forest materials, namely, paper & packaging, wood pulp and sawn wood in the UK for 21 years, between 1980 and 2000. The data are measured in million tonnes.
Overall, what stands out from the graph is that the production of paper & packaging witnessed an increase, whilst it declined in the case of wood pulp and sawn wood in 2000 compared to the initial years’ figure.
Looking at the details, the production of paper & packaging was the highest of all three materials in 1980 and accounted for approximately 235 million tonnes. Later, the figure rose modestly till 1990 to exactly 250 million tonnes, then skyrocketed to 300 million tonnes in 2000.
By contrast, a significant difference of around 30 million tonnes can be observed in the production between wood pulp and sawn wood, whose individual production stood at nearly 170 and 200 million tonnes, respectively. Surprisingly, in 1990, the production of both materials was identical. Meanwhile, in 2000, wood pulp outraced sawn wood in terms of production.

IELTS Cue card: A plant that you find useful

Sample answer

I’m a nature lover. I have planted many different types of plants in my garden. All of them have their own special features. Today, I will talk about one plant which I think is highly beneficial.

The name of the plant is aloe vera. It’s a stemless or very short-stemmed succulent plant. The average height of the plant is around 60-100 cm. It has triangular, fleshy green leaves with serrated edges. These prickly leaves act as a defence against animals and insects.

There are different species of aloe vera, and they are commonly found in most parts of the world. Aloe can grow indoors as well as outdoors. A certain amount of sunlight is essential for these plants to thrive.

I’ve read many reports about the health benefits of aloe vera. This plant is not only used in medicine but is also a vital ingredient in cosmetic products. It’s packed with antiviral and antibacterial properties which make it ideal for curing skin problems. My mother always uses aloe vera mixed with coconut oil to moisturise her hair before washing it, and I have to say, she’s nearly fifty years old, but there are no signs of white, fragile or dry hair. It really is an incredible plant, and it’s so easy to grow too!

High level words and their meanings:

succulent: a plant in which the leaves and stem are thick and can store a lot of water,

serrated: having a row of sharp points along the edge,

thrive: to grow, develop, or be successful, fragile: easily damaged, broken, or harmed

Another Similar Cue Card

Talk about a plant that you find useful.

What is the common name of the plant, mention scientific name if you know it?

Who informed you about the plant and where did you see it for the first time?

Which climate is suitable for its growth and where is it found?

And what are its uses and when did you use it last time?

SAMPLE ANSWER TWO –

We have several useful plants in our environment. Knowledge of botany enables us to know the species, botanical names and several utilities of the plants. For instance, roses are used for perfumery and decorations, primarily. Well, for this conversation, I would like to discuss the plant that goes by the common name of ‘Neem’. Fortunately, I can remember its botanical name too, as it is a common species. Azadirachta Indica is its botanical name, and it’s a species of mahogany called Meliaceae.

My grandfather first made me see the plant on our patio. We had a big house with a large courtyard, where my grandfather used to pick a twig of neem to cleanse his mouth in the morning. I still remember him calling the name of the tree aloud to me when I was nearly 7 years old. I never forgot the name since then, although I read the botanical name later out of my own curiosity.

A tropical climate with average rainfall is most conducive for its growth. It is a deciduous tree that sheds its leaves for a very brief period in autumn. It takes a few years for a neem plant to grow into a full tree. Mostly, it is found in the Indian subcontinent and a few other tropical regions with average rainfall.

The neem tree has several uses because of its herbal and medicinal properties. As told by me earlier, its twigs are used for teeth cleaning and overall mouth cleansing. Its leaves and bark find applications in several herbal medicines for dermatitis and other disorders related to several organs like liver, stomach and heart. It is also used in naphtha balls. I used it last in my fields as fertiliser, as the govt has recently come up with neem-coated urea for its ecological friendliness.

SAMPLE ANSWER –

The internet is an essential part of survival in the present-day world. It has been a lifesaver for me numerous times, but here I can recall a time when the internet helped me handle a bad situation. I have the habit of keeping all the important information on my phone instead of my laptop. Last week, when I was busy studying for my exam, all of a sudden my phone’s screen froze, due to which I wasn’t able to make any calls or check my notes.

I panicked, as it was quite late at night, and I couldn’t head to the market to get some professional help. My phone included all important recorded lectures and notes. I lost hope and had pessimistic thoughts in my mind regarding my exam. I started searching for a temporary solution to fix my iPhone. There were some solutions available on sites, and I followed the steps in order to try my luck.

I followed the instructions given and connected my phone to the computer. It asked for a software update, and I thought of trying it, as I didn’t have any other option since all my important information, including my admit card, was in my phone. It nearly took two hours to complete the update and reboot my iPhone.

Luckily, the phone restarted, and I felt a sign of relief at that hour. Though we keep on criticising the internet and technology on a daily basis, during that moment I couldn’t be thankful enough to them.
