Overall, females made up a higher proportion of people living alone than males, and this difference is particularly
noticeable in the older age categories. We can also see that the most common number of bedrooms in a single-occupant
home was two.

Examiners like comparisons, so I would prefer not to write a separate paragraph for each table. Because the countries and
the years are the same, I would try to compare the information in the two tables.
So how can we separate the information in a different way? Here's what my students and I did:
Paragraph 3: Write about sales of both products in the UK and Switzerland (which have the highest figures).
Paragraph 4: Say something about sales of the two products in the other three countries.
Try this, and I'll show you my full report next week.

Can you write one correct sentence to describe the numbers in the table? Here is the big mistake that examiners see all the
time:
In 2012, text message was 95%, while email was only 52%. (don't write this)

Can you see what the problem is here? Try translating the sentence into your language exactly as it is. Does it make sense?

The two pictures compare the layout of a school as it was in the year 2004 with a proposed site design for the year 2024.
It is clear that the main change for 2024 involves the addition of a new school building. The school will then be able to
accommodate a considerably larger number of students.
In 2004, there were 600 pupils attending the school, and the two school buildings were separated by a path running from
the main entrance to the sports field. By 2024, it is expected that there will be 1000 pupils, and a third building will have
been constructed. Furthermore, the plan is to join the two original buildings together, creating a shorter path that links
the buildings only.
As the third building and a second car park will be built on the site of the original sports field, a new, smaller sports field
will need to be laid. A new road will also be built from the main entrance to the second car park. Finally, no changes will be
made to the main entrance and original car park.
