TASK 1: POPULATION (STATISTIC)

GUIDANCE, VOCABULARY, AND REFERENCE ESSAYS


GUIDANCE
a) INTRO
 Using synonyms/grammar techniques to make an introduction
Ex: The chart below shows the expenditure on three categories among different
age groups of residents in the UK in 2004.
Rewrite: The chart illustrates the breakdown of UK citizens’ outgoings in three
categories into age groups in 2004.
 Keep the intro simple!!!!
b) OVERVIEW
 Highest/lowest values
 Exceptions & similarities & differences
Ex:

Overall, people allocated a greater percentage of their budgets to food and


drinks and entertainment as they aged, while the opposite was the case for
restaurants and hotels. (differences)
c) BODIES
 USING THE OVERVIEW TO SPLIT:

Usually, the main features going first in the Body 1.

It can be seen that the writer divided into categories instead of age groups in the
overview and body paragraphs.

 TOPIC SENTENCES: “Looking first at… where…”; “Regarding to… in


which…”; “Beginning with…”; “Looking into…in further detail,”
 USING COHESIVE DEVICES:
o Conjunctions: however, nevertheless, in addition, in contrast, …
o Relative pronouns: who, which, in which, where, …
o Lexical cohesion: using synonyms/antonyms to avoid repletion
Ex: Obesity rates were low in the 26-40 age brackets. In contrast, 50-70-years-
old group recorded higher proportions of those being overweight.

Women (as %) in Labour Force Women (as %) in management

a) IDEA FOR OVERVIEW: “Differences”


 Japan has the highest rate of women who participate in the labor force, whereas
the United States and Australia have more women serve in managerial positions
than other nations.
 Sri Lanka and Japan are the two nations that have the largest gap between
working women and female managers.

b) Organizing:
 Body 1: Developed countries (including Japan, the United States, and Australia)

 Body 2: Developing countries/remaining countries

The given bar chart illustrates the percentage of women who participate in the
workforce and those who are female managers across five different nations.
Overall, while Japan has the highest rate of working women, Australia and the United
States lead in the proportion of women in management positions. In addition, Sri Lanka
and Japan maintain the largest gap between women’s labor force participation and their
representation in management roles.

Regarding the three developed countries, women in the United States account for 46%
of the workforce, which is 3% higher than the figure for those in managerial positions, at
43%. Female Australians constitute similar proportions in both categories, standing at
around 43%. In contrast, 48% of the workforce in Japan are women, nearly triple the
rate of those in managerial roles, at only 17%.

Turning to the remaining nations, although 42% of workers in Sri Lanka are female, they
constitute only 9% of management positions in that country, which is the lowest of the
five listed. Similarly, a relatively large disparity is also seen in Egypt, as 20% of their
labor force is comprised of women, nearly double the percentage of female managers,
at only 12%.
