Cambridge IELTS 19 Academic Writing Test 4 Task 1

You should spend about 20 minutes on this task. Write at least 150 words.
The charts below give information on the location and types of dance classes young people in a town in Australia are currently attending.

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

The charts illustrate where dance classes are held and the types of classes attended by young people in an Australian town.

Overall, most classes take place in private studios, and preferences for dance styles vary considerably by age group. Younger children favour ballet, whereas older students show a stronger interest in modern dance.

According to the pie chart, nearly half of all classes (48%) are conducted in private studios. School halls account for 24%, while community halls represent 18%. College-based studios are the least common venue, comprising just 10% of classes.

The bar chart indicates clear differences in participation by age. Among children under 11, ballet is the most popular option, attracting 600 participants, compared with only 300 in the 11–16 age group. In contrast, modern dance is preferred by older students, with just over 500 participants, while only 300 younger children choose this style. Tap classes show relatively similar figures for both groups, ranging between 400 and 500 students.
