IELTS Writing Task 1: climate graph

Here are my answers to last week's questions:

1. Monthly figures for precipitation in Kolkata vary considerably, but monthly temperatures remain relatively stable.
2. Temperatures are highest between April and June, at around 30°C, and lowest in December and January, at approximately 20°C.
3. Average rainfall reaches around 330mm in the months of July and August.
4. It is noticeable that Kolkata experiences both its lowest temperatures and its lowest rainfall in January and December.

Note: the verbs used above are in the present simple (vary, remain, are, reaches, experiences) because the graph shows average figures, not particular years.

Hi Jeffrey,

I think it means that some results are being checked again, so they might not be available yet.

thx simon

Hi Jeffrey,

That means those whose 7 in each ,now they are checking their results again to reduce in one module to 6.5.and listening and reading are written by pencil so easilt they can reduce to 6.5.
If they do this to 10 studnts mean another £1250 in their pocket.

Bitter true.
hope this clear.

Hi Mr. Simon
I would like to ask you about this exercise,should we use "the temperature" and the "precipitation" ?. I don't know exactly whether to use the or not in this kind of exercise of Ielts. I usually use "the" if I see "the" in the question.
Please give me some advice

Hi Sad
That's not true at all as you can complain if you aren't happy with your result. And not all IELTS examiners are British or whites. They never do something like this what you may think of.

It's better if you think positive rather than negative!
