Lesson 12: IELTS Table Gap Fill Exercise

The aim of this lesson is to use an IELTS table gap fill exercise to improve
your vocabulary knowledge and flexibility when you are describing a table.
However, although the information is presented here as a table, this is the
same language were it to be presented as another type of graph such as a
bar chart or pie chart.
So it provides you with practice generally for writing about graphs that are
not over time.
Read the question and look at the table. Then decide which word should be
placed in the gap.
