Đề writing Task 1 Mixed chart - 1
Biểu đồ kết hợp là dạng bài ghép 2 hay nhiều loại chart với nhau như:

- Table với pie charts/line graphs/bart charts

- Pie chart với line graphs/bar charts

- Line graphs với bar charts

Nhiều bạn sẽ cảm thấy khó khăn khi làm dạng biểu đồ này vì cho rằng dữ liệu của 2 loại biểu đồ là rất nhiều. Tuy nhiên việc phân chia hai biểu đồ thành hai đoạn riêng trong phần Body sẽ giúp các bạn dễ dàng trong việc mô tả và so sánh hơn.

Bên cạnh đó, việc tìm ra điểm tương đồng trong hai biểu đồ được cho và so sánh sẽ giúp bài viết của bạn ăn điểm hơn. Cũng như việc mô tả mọi biểu đồ khác trong IELTS task 1, việc chọn lọc thông tin nổi bật là rất quan trọng, tránh việc thông tin quá tải và ảnh hưởng đến thời gian hoàn thành bài.

The graphs show health and education spending and changes in life expectancy and infant mortality in the UAE. Overall, as the percentage spent on health and education increases, infant mortality and life expectancy improve.

Graph 1 expresses the percentage of GDP spent on health and education between 1985 and 1993. There were big increases in both areas. In details, health spending stood at about 8% in 1985 but rose to 9% in 1990 and 10% in 1993. Besides, spending on education was even higher. It was 10% in 1985, and shot up to 14% in 1990 and 15% in 1993, a 50% increase in just 8 years.

Graph 2 demonstrates improvements in life expectancy and infant mortality between 1970 and 1992. Life expectancy was just 60 in 1970 but rose to almost 72 in 1992. In contrast, the number of babies dying dropped dramatically, from 60 per 1000 in 1970 to only 22 in 1992.

In conclusion, people in the UAE are living longer and healthier lives because of the government's spending on education and medical facilities.
