Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.
The bar chart illustrates the composition of library users at a university, categorised by their academic status, while the table presents satisfaction levels across five different library services.
Overall, full-time undergraduates constitute the largest group of library users, whereas academic staff represent the smallest proportion. Regarding satisfaction, library staff receive the highest approval ratings, while the availability of journals and Wi-Fi reliability attract the most dissatisfaction among users.
According to the bar chart, full-time undergraduate students account for the majority of library users, at approximately 38%. Distance learning students and part-time postgraduates each represent around 20% of users, while full-time postgraduates make up a slightly smaller proportion of about 17%. Academic staff are the least frequent users, comprising only about 5% of the total library clientele.
Turning to the table, the helpfulness of staff receives overwhelmingly positive feedback, with 95% of respondents indicating they are very satisfied and the remaining 5% fairly satisfied, with no negative responses recorded. Library opening hours also score highly, with 65% very satisfied and 35% fairly satisfied. However, satisfaction with other services is notably lower. The availability of books receives 50% very satisfied and 10% not satisfied, while journals perform worse, with only 45% very satisfied and 20% not satisfied. Similarly, Wi-Fi reliability shows mixed results, with 48% very satisfied but 19% dissatisfied.
In comparison, academic staff, despite being the smallest user group, appear to have the highest expectations, as they report lower satisfaction with journals and Wi-Fi compared to students.

Key tips for achieving Band 7.0 in tables + charts:
Describe both visuals equally – Don't focus only on the chart or only on the table. Give both sufficient coverage (about 50-50).
Start with a strong overview – Identify the most obvious trends from both visuals in one paragraph.
Use a range of reporting verbs – indicate, illustrate, show, reveal, account for, comprise, constitute, represent.
Group similar data – Instead of listing every number separately, group them (e.g., "distance learning and part-time students show similar patterns").
Make meaningful comparisons – Don't just state numbers; explain what they reveal (e.g., "staff are least frequent but most demanding").
Avoid overcomplicating – Band 7.0 requires clarity and accuracy, not unnecessarily complex sentences.
Quick checklist for Band 7.0 Task 1:
Clear introduction paraphrasing the task
Overview paragraph highlighting 2-3 main trends
Logical grouping of data (not just listing)
Accurate data from both visuals
Relevant comparisons
Range of vocabulary (not repetitive)
Mix of sentence structures
At least 150 words (ideally 170-190)
No personal opinion or conclusion paragraph (overview is enough)
