• Bar Chart
• Future Tenses
• Grouping and comparing predictions

Sample IELTS Task 1 Writing Answer

The bar chart compares the thirst for oil (in billions of barrels per day) in selected OECD and non-OECD countries and regions in 1980, 2008 and in 2030. It can clearly be seen that, while global demand for oil has remained, and is expected to remain, stable in the rich world, it will continue rising, in the developing world.Firstly, despite rising slightly from approximately 41 billion barrels per day in 1980 to around 43 28 years later, the OECD’s total demand is predicted to actually drop below it’s 1980 level. This is likely due to the drop in Japanese and European demand. Even the United States, which accounts for around half of the oil consumed in the rich world, will consume a little less in the future.

Turning to the rest of the world, the figures show that oil consumption will rise dramatically. In fact, it rose around three-quarters from 1980 to 2008 and is forecast to have increased to almost 55 billion by 2030. At this point, its’ oil consumption will be greater than that of the rich world. Of this, Asian consumption will rise the fastest and will be 6 times higher than its’ 1980 level by the end of the period.

In conclusion, while global demand for oil will keep growing, the developing world is going to consume the majority of it in the not too distant future.

A developing thirst

Nov 10th 2009

How demand for oil will change by 2030GLOBAL demand for oil is set to rise from 84.7m barrels per day (bpd) in 2008 to 105m bpd in 2030, says the International Energy Agency in its latest annual energy report. Transport will account for 97% of this increase as rising numbers of cars hit the roads of the developing world. Demand from these countries will overtake that of the industrialised OECD nations by 2030. By then, America, Japan and Europe will be using less oil than in 1980. But the thirst for oil will balloon in Asia—and in India and China in particular—where demand is predicted to rise by as much as 400% compared with 2008.
