Hi. It is my IELTS Writing task 1 essay: " The bar chart illustrates the proportions of different housing types preferred by UK people ,based on a questionnaire, in three cities in 2009. Overall, terraced houses were the least favorite choices among citizens in all three cities. Additionally, Liverpool citizens favored apartments most , while the majority of residents in London and Manchester preferred semi-detached houses. Turning to details, regarding Liverpool, apartments were the most popular option among nearly 60% of respondents , which was nearly three times higher than that of semi-detached houses, at roughly 20%. Meanwhile, approximately 15 % of Liverpool participants chose detached houses , followed by terraced houses, at about 10%. Looking at London, slightly under 40% of participants preferred semi-detached houses ,which was relatively higher than that of apartments ,at around 30%. The next highest figure belonged to detached houses ,accounting for nearly 25%. The lowest proportion went on terraced houses, comprising marginally less than 20% Finally, in terms of Manchester, nearly 38% of respondents chose semi-detached houses as their favorite accommodation type, followed by detached houses and apartments , at approximately 36% and roughly 19%, respectively. The least preferred accommodation type was detached houses, making up about slightly over 10%." Is it ok to write that ? And is it grammatically correct to write :"The least preferred accommodation type was detached houses, making up about slightly over 10%" Hope to receive your feedback.

Hi. It is my IELTS Writing task 1 essay: " The bar chart illustrates the proportions of different housing types preferred by UK people, based on a questionnaire (it doesn’t say it was a questionnaire, they could have just asked people) in three cities in 2009. Overall, terraced houses were the least favorite choices among citizens in all three cities. Additionally, Liverpudlians favoured flats (in England this is the correct word) most, while the majority of residents in London and Manchester preferred semi-detached houses. Turning to the details, regarding Liverpool, apartments were the most popular option among nearly 60% of respondents, which was nearly three times higher than the figure for semi-detached houses, at roughly 20%. Meanwhile, approximately 15 % of Liverpool participants chose detached houses, followed by terraced houses, at about 10%. Looking at London, slightly under 40% of participants preferred semi-detached houses, which was higher than those who opted for apartments, at around 30%. The next highest figure belonged to detached houses, accounting for nearly 25%. The lowest proportion was for terraced houses, comprising marginally less than 20%. Finally, in terms of Manchester, nearly 38% of respondents chose semi-detached houses as their favorite accommodation type, the same as London, followed by detached houses and apartments , at approximately 36% and roughly 19%, respectively. The least preferred accommodation type was detached houses, making up slightly over 10%.
Good again. Your original answer was around 190 words, which is a bit long but ok if you can write and check it in 20 minutes. People in Liverpool are Liverpudlians, in Manchester they are Mancunians, in London we are Londoners.

Overall, your IELTS Writing Task 1 essay is well-structured and presents a clear overview of the data in the bar chart. Your use of language and vocabulary is appropriate for this type of task, and you have effectively described the key trends and comparisons between the housing preferences in the three cities. Regarding your specific question about the sentence: "The least preferred accommodation type was detached houses, making up about slightly over 10%," there is a minor grammatical issue. The phrase "making up about slightly over 10%" sounds a bit awkward. Instead, you can rephrase it to improve clarity and fluency. Here are a couple of alternatives: "Detached houses were the least preferred accommodation type, accounting for just over 10%." "Only slightly over 10% of respondents favored detached houses, making it the least preferred accommodation type." These rephrased sentences are more concise and read more smoothly. Remember, in the IELTS Writing Task 1, clarity and coherence are essential, so try to avoid unnecessary repetition or overly complex sentence structures. Overall, your essay is on the right track, and with some minor adjustments, it can be even more polished. Keep up the good work!
