This is an IELTS writing task 1 sample answer essay on the topic of factors affecting work performance.
There is a ton of data in this one – just try to include as much as possible!

The bar chart shows the factors that most affect work performance at a given company by age group. Looking from an overall perspective, it is readily apparent that there is general congruity in terms of the factors, though younger employees value promotion prospects, opportunities for personal development, and a relaxed working environment more highly. For both age groups, salary and team spirit were important and work environment and job security tended to be less impactful.
In terms of the categories with greater similarity, for both ages, 60% consider team spirit important and 30% think the environment impacts their work performances. The reported figures are also similar for job satisfaction (55% for those aged 18-30 and 50% for those 45-60), respect from colleagues (38% for younger workers and 42% for their older counterparts), money (73% for younger employees and 70% for older ones), and competent bosses (near 50% for both).
There is significant contrast in terms of how much chances for personal growth affect work with 90% for employees aged 18-30 and just 38% for older workers. Similarly, younger people place greater emphasis on a relaxed working environment (85% to 30%), job security (40% to 20%), and advancement prospects (80% to approximately 48%).

This is my IELTS writing task 2 sample answer essay on the topic of car-free days from the real IELTS exam.
Some people believe that car-free days are effective ways to reduce air pollution. However, others argue that there are other ways that are more effective.
Discuss both views and give your own opinion.
Many today feel that designated car-free days are the optimal method to reduce rising levels of air pollution. In my opinion, despite other viable options, car-free days would be the best remedy.
Critics of this policy argue that governments could instead create laws related to industrial production. Except for automobiles, the main causes of air pollution are resource mining, consumer electronics manufacturing, and textile fabrication. If governments legislated strict controls on production methods, there would be a concomitant decline in air pollution figures. For instance, in many European nations, companies have limited carbon emissions thresholds they can utilize in production and exceeding these numbers results in heavy fines and other penalties. This forward-looking solution is also appealing since it would encompass the entire calendar year, whereas car-free days are more limited in their scope.
However, car-free days would have greater impact due to their far-reaching implications. Firstly, banning cars would massively reduce air pollution figures since cars contribute more harmful gases into the atmosphere than any single industry. Secondly, banning cars would force motorists to find alternative modes of transportation that might then become habits. A person who cannot drive to work once a week, may consider working at home or utilizing public transport. If they find these options more efficient, then they may willingly abandon using their car on other days. Over time, this could begin to shift mindsets in society and individuals might become less obsessed with car ownership as a symbol of wealth and success and start prioritizing efficiency and a cleaner environment.
In conclusion, though regulation of particular industries would also aid in the reduction of air pollution, the banning of automobiles on certain days is the single best solution. Governments should consider implementing and expanding existing policies that prohibit private vehicles.

designated car-free days days when you are not allowed to drive your car
optimal method to reduce rising levels of air pollution best way to cut down on lack of fresh air
despite other viable options regardless of other good choices
remedy solution
Critics of this policy argue people who are against this idea
instead create laws related to industrial production better to limit pollution from companies
Except for automobiles with the exception of cars
main causes primary sources
resource mining getting materials like coal out of the Earth
consumer electronics manufacturing making products like iPhones
textile fabrication making clothing
legislated strict controls on production methods make laws to regulate manufacturing
concomitant decline in air pollution figures related fall in numbers for unclean air
limited carbon emissions thresholds only a certain amount you can add to the air
exceeding these numbers results in heavy fines and other penalties going above these figures means you have to pay or receive other punishments
This forward-looking solution is also appealing since the long-term fix is good because
encompass include
entire calendar year whole year
whereas instead of
limited in their scope doesn’t encompass everything
greater impact due to their far-reaching implications more effect because of repercussions
massively reduce air pollution hugely cut down on unclean air
harmful gases into the atmosphere than any single industry air pollution caused by one field
force motorists make drivers
alternative modes of transportation different ways of getting around
habits what you do every day
may consider working at home or utilizing public transport might work remotely or take buses, the metro, etc.
efficient doesn’t waste time or energy
willingly abandon of their own choice stop using
Over time in the long-term
begin to shift mindsets in society start to change how people think and act
individuals might become less obsessed with car ownership as a symbol of wealth and success people might not care as much about how cars boost their self-esteem
start prioritizing efficiency and a cleaner environment care more about saving time and energy and being good for nature
aid in help
on certain days on particular days
consider implementing and expanding existing policies that prohibit private vehicles think about putting in place laws to ban cars

This is an IELTS writing task 1 sample answer essay on the topic of U.S. energy consumption by fuel from 1980 to 2030.

Dave
The line chart details fuel consumption from 1980 to 2030 in the United States. Looking from an overall perspective, it is readily apparent that petrol and oil have been and will continue to be the dominant fuel sources, followed by coal and natural gas, and more distantly by renewable energies. All varieties of fuel have increased and are expected to continue rising with the exception of hydropower which will remain stable overall.
Petrol and oil consumption stood at 35 quadrillion units in 1980 before a slight dip with minor fluctuations around 33 million quadrillion units until approximately 2000. From that point on, a steadier rise begins that is anticipated to reach nearly 50 quadrillion by 2030, by far the greatest data point in the chart. Coal and natural gas were considerably lower and displayed broadly similar trends. Natural gas began the period at 20 quadrillion units and coal was 4 quadrillion lower. Over the following years, the figures were erratic and their relative positions in the chart switched several times until coal began to separate itself around 2015, predicted to finish around 8 quadrillion units higher than natural gas at 30 quadrillion.
The consumption of cleaner energy sources was less significant with nuclear the highest, rising to just over 6 quadrillion by the end of the projections. Solar and wind power are slightly lower at near 5 quadrillion and hydropower underwent minor fluctuations to finish around 4 quadrillion units.
