Task 1: The tables and pie chart show in percentage terms of the results of a survey of a new shopping complex in Auckland, New Zealand.
The tables and pie chart provided depict customer satisfaction survey results from a newly opened shopping complex in Auckland, New Zealand. The data is segmented by gender and evaluates satisfaction levels across shops, restaurants, and overall design. Initially, a significant majority of customers express satisfaction with their experiences at the complex. [excellent introduction]
45% of male respondents are satisfied with the shop quality, with 17% very satisfied. Meanwhile, over two-thirds of female respondents indicate satisfaction or high satisfaction levels. In contrast, dissatisfaction is noted by one-fifth of both male and female participants. [well-written overview]
Regarding restaurants, more than half of the male respondents are satisfied, and 25% are highly satisfied. Dissatisfaction with restaurant quality is minimal, at just 5%. Comparatively, dissatisfaction among females is slightly under one-fourth. A small percentage of respondents, ranging from 9% to 20% for both genders, refrain from providing feedback on shop and restaurant quality.
In terms of the shopping complex’s design, over 60% of respondents express satisfaction, with exactly 17% reporting very high satisfaction. Around 10% of participants abstain from commenting on the design, with a similar proportion expressing dissatisfaction.
[this is an excellent response!]
- Respondent (n): người phản hồi
- To voice your satisfaction/dissatisfaction:
nêu lên sự hài lòng/bất mãn
- Negligible (adj): nhỏ lẻ, không đáng đề cập
- Refrain from: từ chối, kiềm chế không làm
Phân tích:
- Phần đông khách hàng bày tỏ sự hài lòng với khu thương xá
- Cẩn thận tránh viết 2 đoạn Body phân tích Male – Female, bởi làm vậy sẽ khó có cơ hội phân tích so sánh số liệu của 2 giới với nhau. Thay vào đấy, hãy đi bài theo khía cạnh đánh giá.
IELTS Writing task 2
Task 2: More and more people are becoming seriously overweight. Some people say that the price increase of fattening foods will solve this problem. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
The prevalence of obesity has been steadily increasing, prompting concerns about overall health. Some propose that raising the price of high-calorie foods could offer a solution. In my opinion, this approach falls short.
On one hand, increasing the cost of fatty foods could potentially mitigate the obesity crisis. It is evident that excessive consumption often stems from the availability and affordability of unhealthy food choices. By raising prices, people may reduce their purchases due to decreased affordability, potentially opting for healthier options such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean meats. This shift could lead to a decline in obesity rates. [well-argued]
On the other hand, there are limitations to the effectiveness of price adjustments, particularly concerning fairness. Socioeconomic factors play a critical role, as those from lower-income backgrounds may still struggle to afford healthier alternatives. Moreover, solely increasing prices fails to address underlying issues like nutritional education and limited access to exercise facilities. Therefore, relying solely on price hikes may not yield comprehensive and sustainable outcomes. [no need for further comments – everything’s sound]
From my perspective, while increasing the cost of high-calorie foods can be a positive step [excellent choice of words], it is essential to complement this strategy with broader measures. National campaigns to raise public awareness about healthy eating habits and regular exercise are crucial. Furthermore, governments must prioritize improving the accessibility and affordability of nutritious food options, especially in disadvantaged areas. Combining these efforts with price adjustments can create a more holistic approach to combating obesity.
Ultimately, while increasing the price of high-calorie foods may deter their consumption and contribute positively to reducing obesity rates, it should not be seen as a standalone solution. A comprehensive approach that includes education, accessibility, and affordability of healthier food options is essential for sustained success.
- Curbing the obesity epidemic: đẩy lùi đại dịch béo phì
- Price manipulation: thao túng giá cả
- To yield results: mang lại kết quả
- Socioeconomically disadvantaged areas: vùng kinh tế xã hội khó khăn
- A more holistic/ multi-faceted approach: hướng tiếp cận/ giải pháp toàn diện
Phân tích:
- Nâng giá thức ăn gây béo là giải pháp hữu hiệu, nhưng chưa toàn diện
- Giá cao sẽ góp phần tác động khiến nhu cầu tiêu thụ giảm dần. Tuy nhiên, các thực phẩm tốt cho sức khỏe thường không rẻ, nên giải pháp đó sẽ gây áp lực đáng kể đến các gia đình có tài chính khó khăn.
- Một chiến dịch chống béo phì toàn diện cần phối hợp thêm các biện pháp nâng cao nhận thức người dân về chế độ dinh dưỡng, cũng như tầm quan trọng của thể dục vận động → chỉ như thế ta mới đạt được hiệu quả lâu dài.
