IELTS Academic Writing Task 1 Topic : People affected by four types of noise pollution – Bar graph

Report Plan

Sample Answer

The bar graph depicts the total number of people disturbed by various types of noise pollution during the daytime and nighttime in the year 2007. 

We can observe that more people in the cities were affected by noise pollution than those residing in the countryside in 2007. The main source of noise pollution was Traffic.  Specifically, the noise from traffic in the cities impacted 64 million and 48 million people in the day and night, whereas in the countryside, 34 million and 24 million people were affected, which was as half as that in the cities. 

During the day, the noise from the trains affected 10 million suburban residents and 8 million people in the countryside, which was moderately higher than the number of affected people at night in both areas, with 8 million and 6 million respectively. 

The remaining noise pollution sources, aircraft and industries, affected the urban and rural residents less significantly. In the daytime,  noise from aircraft affected 4 million urban people, twice the number of rural residents. At night, the value was the same in the cities as well as in the rural areas. 

Meanwhile, no one was affected by the industrial noise in the countryside. However, 1 million and 0.25 million citizens in the urban area were impacted by the industrial noise during the daytime and nighttime.
