☑️ Corrections with explanations
1.
The issue here is with the number. Even though the table says the data is measured in thousands, when we use a specific number, this word is not pluralised. Therefore, the sentence should say:In 2008, Australia had the highest amount of students with a part-time job, with 14 thousand. 2.
The problem with sentence is that the writer has mentioned ‘declined steadily’, when in fact this is not a continuous time period (it is only two dates with a gap of 8 years between them). Instead, the writer could say:The quantity of Australian students with a part-time job was much lower in 2016 with 11,000, in contrast to 2008 when there were 14,000 of them. 3.
The writer here says that ‘Australia decreased’. This doesn’t make sense, because a country can’t just decrease. In fact, it is the number which decreased, not the actual country itself. Therefore, a more appropriate way of describing this isHowever, in 2016, the quantity of learners in part-time employment Australia was lower, with a figure of 11,000 4.
There is an error here with the use of the linker ‘while’. It can be used for contrast, but not in the same way as ‘however. It is important to use it to connect two clauses in the following ways:New Zealand had a larger amount of high school students with part-time employment in 2016 with a difference of 2,000, while Fiji’s difference was much greater with 3,000 While New Zealand had a larger amount of high school students with part-time employment in 2016 with a difference of 2,000, Fiji’s difference was much greater with 3,000. 5.
There are two aspects to talk about here. Firstly, adjectives are not pluralised in English, so the correct form is ‘different’ rather than ‘differents’ (which is a common difference with other languagesHowever, Australia had a different trend, where they had lower figures in 2016 (11,000) compared to 2008 (5,000)
The other point is that using brackets can give you some variation in your sentence Style or type, although they can have the opposite effect of making your sentence less complex. Consider the following as an alternativeHowever, Australia had a different trend, where they had lower figures in 2016 with 11,000 students compared to 2008 when there were 5,000.

©️ @cambridgematerials 👈What does ‘two words and/or a number’ mean?
As with every part of the test, you must always follow the instructions for each task carefully. In particular, notice whether you must choose one letter, or several letters from a list, like these examples (picture below) from The Official Cambridge Guide to IELTS:
Notice that bold type is used to draw your attention to how many answers you must write, and when you need to write more than 2 answers, you are reminded to write your answers next to the correct question number on your answer sheet.
This is a key point and a reminder not to rush. If you do, you run the risk of making mistakes when you transfer your answers and losing marks as a result.
Also notice whether you must write one word only, or one, two or three words and / or a number. If you write too many words, then your answer will be marked wrong. In both reading and listening, if the instructions say ‘write NO MORE THAN TWO WORDS AND / OR A NUMBER’, this means that your answer may consist of:
🔸 a number
🔸 one word
🔸 one word and a number
🔸 two words
🔸 two words and a number

IELTS Writing Task 1: nouns and verbs
Charts and tables usually show nouns rather than verbs. However, you need to find the right verb in order to write a good sentence.
Example:
Picture above 👆
🙅♂Don't write:
- Walking was 255 miles per person in 1985.
- Car was the highest form of transport.
✍Do write:
- The average person walked 255 miles in 1985.
- People travelled more miles by car than by any other form of transport.

Examiner comment
The topic is very well addressed
and explored in depth. The position is clear throughout and directly answers the question. The ideas presented are relevant and very well supported, apart from some over-generalisation in the penultimate paragraph. However, there is no mention of how well children from ‘wealthy parents’ deal with problems. Although this is not a requirement, it could be added to further improve the response. The ideas and information are very well organised and paragraphing is used appropriately throughout. The answer can be read with ease due to the sophisticated handling of cohesive devices, with only minimal lapses (for example, the use of ‘e.g.’). The writer uses a wide and very natural range of vocabulary with full flexibility. There are many examples of appropriate modification, collocation and precise vocabulary choice. Syntax is equally varied and sophisticated. There are only occasional errors in an otherwise very accurate answer. Overall this is a very strong performance and a good example of Band 8.5.
