Ielts Academic Writing Task 1 Sample 97

You should spend a maximum of 20 minutes on this task. Write about the following topic: 

The image provides information about the estimated share of newly registered cars worldwide by autonomous driving level.

Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

You should write at least 150 words.

The graph shows the projected evolution of autonomous driving capabilities in newly registered cars worldwide from 2018 to 2028, categorized into four levels of autonomy.

In 2018, Level 0 (no autonomous driving) dominated the market at 24%, while Level 1 (partly automated driving) accounted for 55%. Level 2 (partly automated driving with lane keeping) represented 21%, and Level 3 (highly automated driving) was nonexistent.

By 2023, a significant shift is observed. Level 1 vehicles increase to 71%, becoming the majority. Level 2 remains stable at 22%, while Level 0 decreases dramatically to 7%. Level 3 emerges with a minimal 2% share.

Projections for 2028 indicate a continued trend towards higher autonomy. Level 2 vehicles are expected to become predominant at 62%. Level 3 is anticipated to grow substantially to 31%. Level 1 is projected to decrease to 5%, while Level 0 vehicles are expected to become obsolete.

This data shows a clear trajectory towards increased autonomous driving capabilities in new vehicles over the decade, with higher levels of autonomy gradually replacing lower levels.
