Activity 6.1
Complete the checklist for this answer.
The charts below show the main reason for study by age and the proportion of
students who received support from their employers.
Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and
make comparisons where relevant.
Write at least 150 words.
Sample answer
The two graphs show the reasons why people study at different ages and the amount that their employers support them.
The first graph shows there a gradual decerase in study for career reasons with age. Nearly 80 per cent of students under 26 years, study for their career. This percentage gradually declines by 10-20 per cent every decade. Only 40 per cent of 40-49 yr olds and 18 per cent of over 49 yr olds studing for carreer reasons in late adulthood. Conversely, the first graph also shows that study stemming from intrest increases with age. There only 10 per cent of under 26 yr olds studing out of interest. The percentage increases slowly till the beginning of the fourth decade, and increases dramatically in late adulthood. Nearly same number of 40-49 yr olds study for career and intrest. However 70 per cent of over 49 yr olds study for interest in comparison to 18 per cent studing for career reasons in that age group.
The second graph shows that employer suport is approximately 60 per cent for the under 26 yr students. It drops rapidly to 32 per cent up to the third decade of life, and then increses in late adulthood up to about 38 per· cent for 40 to 49 yr students and then about 44 per cent for over 49 yr students.
Self-study checklist
This is the answer after these points have been corrected:
The two graphs show that people study for different reasons at different ages, and that employers are most likely to support younger workers for their study.
The first graph ·shows that there is a gradual decrease in study for career reasons with age. Nearly 80 per cent of students under 26 years study for their career. This percentage gradually declines by 10-20 per cent every decade. Only 40 per cent of 40-49-year-olds and 18 per cent of over-49-year-olds study for career reasons in late adulthood. Conversely, the first graph also shows that study stemming from interest increases with age. There are only 10 per cent of under-26-year-olds study out of interest. The percentage increases slowly till the beginning of the fourth decade, and increases dramatically in late adulthood. Nearly same number of 40-49-year-olds study for career and interest. However 70 per cent of over-49-year-olds study for interest in comparison to 18 per cent study for career reasons in that age group.
The second graph shows that employer support is approximately 60 per cent for the under-26-year-old students. It drops rapidly to 32 per cent up to the third decade of life, and then increases in late adulthood up to about 38 per cent for 40- to 49-year-old students and then about 44 per cent for over-49-year-old students.
