IELTS Writing Task 1 Solution (November 23, 2020) Band 8.0+ from IELTS Examiner

The given line graph describes the averaged temperatures each month for a non-defined year in London, New York and Sydney while the table gives the total hours of sunshine. 

Overall, New York is hotter than London in the summer months, while the reverse is true in the winter. Sydney, being a Southern hemisphere city, has the opposite pattern of temperature fluctuations. New York has notably the widest range of temperature and the most hours of sunshine.

In January, New York is definitely the coldest with only 5 degrees celsius, compared to nearly 10 in London. Both cities then steadily climb to their peaks in July with 30 and 25 degrees respectively. As the year draws to a close they return to about the same temperatures they had in January. In contrast, Sydney, located south of the equator, starts the year over 25 degrees centigrade and dips to a low of 15 in July before returning to January like temperatures in December.

The table’s data portrays how both New York and Sydney have over double the sunshine hours than London with around 2500 for the former pair and only 1158 for the latter city.
