IELTS Academic Task 1: Bar Chart — Culture & tourism
Original practice prompt written in exam style — not a real exam question, and not a prediction.
The chart below shows visitor numbers at four London museums in 2010 and 2019. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant. The data is as follows (visitors in millions). The Science Museum received 2.9 million visitors in 2010 and 3.3 million in 2019. The Natural History Museum rose from 4.2 million to 5.6 million. The National Gallery rose from 5.1 million to 6.0 million, remaining the most visited museum in both years. Tate Modern rose from 4.7 million to 5.8 million. All four museums attracted more visitors in 2019 than in 2010, with the largest increase, of 1.4 million, at the Natural History Museum.
Examiner focus: Universal growth: rank the museums in each year and single out the fastest grower versus the one that stayed on top.
