13、orthern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency Exam TipIn Writing Task 1, it is essential to understand what the graph or chart is representing. Look closely at the information in the instructions as well as all details of the graph or chart.The graph in this task shows the percentage of over 65s in
14、 each country of the UK. The following are incorrect statements: Wales had more over 65s than England. (The graph is in percentages, not numbers) Northern Ireland had 12% of over 65s in 1985. (The countries do not add up to 100% so Northern Ireland did not have 12% of all over 65s. The graph shows t
15、hat 12% of the population of Northern Ireland was over 65.)Model answerThe graph shows how the size and distribution of the UKs ageing population is likely to change over a 50-year period.Overall, the proportions are predicted to increase in all UK countries. In 1985, 15 per cent of the UK populatio
16、n was over 65, but by 2035, this will account for 23 per cent of the total population.A closer look at the data reveals that the ageing population is expected to rise more in some parts of the UK than in other. In 1985, Wales had the highest percentage of people aged 65 and over, at 16 per cent. The
17、 second-largest group could be found in England and the third in Scotland. Northern Ireland had lowest proportion, with 12 per cent aged 65 and over.By 2035, Wales is still going to have by far the greatest percentage of over 65s, with figures likely to reach 26 per cent. However, the biggest increa
18、ses in this age group, relative to the rest of the population, are predicted to occur in Northern Ireland and Scotland.
