Cambridge IELTS 19 Academic Writing Test 1 Task 1

You should spend about 20 minutes on this task. Write at least 150 words.
The graph below gives information on the numbers of participants for different activities at one social centre in Melbourne, Australia for the period 2000 to 2020.

Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

The line graph illustrates changes in participation in five different social activities in Australia between 2000 and 2020.

Overall, film clubs consistently remained the most popular activity throughout the period. In contrast, table tennis and musical performances experienced notable growth, while amateur dramatics declined significantly.

Film club attendance fluctuated slightly, beginning at approximately 65 participants in 2000, falling to around 60 in 2010, and then rising to nearly 68 by 2020. Martial arts also showed moderate variation, ranging between 30 and 40 participants. Although it was the second most popular activity in 2000, it was overtaken by table tennis by 2015 and ranked third in 2020.

Musical performances saw a marked increase, rising from virtually no participants in 2005 to about 20 by 2020. However, table tennis recorded the most substantial growth overall, climbing from fewer than 20 participants in 2000 to almost triple that figure in 2020. By contrast, amateur dramatics experienced a steady decline, dropping sharply from around 25 participants to just 5 over the same period.
