Read the sample task 1 essay below, and fill in the table with the data.  Remember, a good task 1 essay does not methodically describe every data point, but simply summarizes the main points and uses some of the data for supporting details.  So there will be many boxes in the table where you will not have any data to insert.  (7 boxes, to be exact).  But fill in the data that you can.


IELTS Scores

The table gives IELTS band scores for different groups in 2003. Scores are given for all sections of the test and an overall score is included for each of the 4 groups, namely, Hindi, Malayalam, Russian and Spanish.
On the whole, Hindi speakers attained the best results, both overall and in three of the four skills. It can also be seen that all groups did best on the speaking test.
The Hindi group got an overall score of 6.73 with an average of 6.86 in the speaking test, the highest of any figure in the table. They also topped the lists for listening and writing with 6.78 and 6.62 respectively. With 6.38 in reading, however, they were beaten by the Spanish group.
Malayalam speakers came second overall with 6.43. They had the second highest writing score (6.49), but came bottom in speaking with 6.52.
Despite doing well in reading (6.42), Spanish students came last in listening and writing. Overall, this group ranked third with 6.41.
The Russians’ best achievements were second in speaking (6.69) and listening (6.35), and their overall score was 6.38.
In general, all four language groups did well in the IELTS test with all scores in all sections being over 6.
