What First Ingredient Task Achievement means

In this section we're going to look at the first ingredient that goes into writing a great essay. We'll be talking about task achievement. So first let's cover some basic information according to the official list of banned descriptors in order to achieve a band 7 or higher. You need to do the following things.

First of all you have to make sure that you cover all the task requirements by writing about everything that the question is asking you next. You have to make sure that you present a clear overview of the main trends differences or stages that you see in the infographics and finally you have to make sure that you clearly present and highlight all the key features of that infographics now in order to correctly present and highlight the key features of an info graphic. First you have to know what information is important in the first place for our example over here. We have a bar graph so let's take a look at which features are important and should be discussed.

How to use it

First of all the starting and the ending data points in a graph or a chart are always important. So you should always talk about the starting and the ending data points in our bar graph. Example our graph is starting at the year nineteen ninety five and it ends in the year 2000. So in this case what we can do is discuss the data points that are in the year nineteen ninety five and also discuss the data points from the year 2002.

Next we have the highest and the lowest points in the infographics. Now again similar to the starting and ending data points. These are also very important and if they're available in your graph or your chart then you should always write about them. So let's see what are the highest and the lowest data points in this graph.

First I want you to take note that we have three different types of calls. We have the local fixed line called we have the national and international fixed line call. And finally we have the mobile calls. So first let's see what are the highest and the lowest data points for the first call type which is the local fixed line called All right.

Here we have the highest data point for the local fixed line call. And here we have the lowest data points for the local fixed line call next. Let's take a look at the highest and lowest data points for national and international fixed line calls so here we have the highest data point for the national and international calls. And here we have the lowest data point.

Finally we have the mobile calls. Here we have the highest data point. And here we have the lowest data point turning points are also important when you're describing the graph or the chart. In this case we have a turning point over here.

Because over here the local fixed line calls suddenly change their direction from going upwards to going downwards. Therefore this is a turning point. It's a point where the direction turns or changes now sometimes you'll see interesting changes that may be happening in your graph or your chart. So what are some interesting changes that are happening in this graph.

Practice focus

Well you may have noticed by now that the local fixed line calls are increasing starting at the year nineteen ninety five they increase up until the year 1999. But then suddenly they change the direction and they start going back down. And what you'll notice here is that by the end of the graph the local fixed line calls stop at a point which is exactly the same as where it first started from. So the starting and the ending data point for the local fixed line calls are exactly the same.

This is an interesting change another interesting change that you'll notice is that mobile calls undergo a very fast change. I mean look at this mobile calls are the least popular out of all three call types. But by the end of the graph they have grown faster than any other call type. Finally we have striking differences in this bar graph.

Notice the blue circles what stands out to you. One thing that stands out to me is that at the beginning of the year local fixed line calls are the most popular whereas mobile calls are the least popular there's a huge difference between the two different call types. A striking difference let's look at another example of the striking difference here. Let's compare these two data points.

Mobile calls at the year 1995. And mobile calls of the year 2002. Notice the significant growth that the mobile call type has gone through over the period of this graph it's surprising to see that something that started off so small has grown to be so big. By the end of the graph this is a striking difference so these are all the features that are important and should be discussed.
