Contoh soal dan jawaban
Soal (ringkas): The graph shows the average monthly temperature in Jakarta and London over a year.
The line graph compares average monthly temperatures in Jakarta and London over a twelve-month period.
Overall, Jakarta remained hot and almost constant all year, whereas London’s temperatures followed a clear seasonal pattern, peaking in summer and dropping to their lowest in winter. Jakarta was warmer than London in every month.
Jakarta’s average temperature stayed within a narrow band of around 27–29°C. It was slightly higher in the dry months from May to October and dipped only marginally, to about 27°C, at the start of the year.
London, by contrast, started the year at roughly 5°C in January. Temperatures then rose steadily, reaching a peak of about 19°C in July, before falling back gradually to around 6°C in December. As a result, the gap between the two cities was widest in winter, at more than 20 degrees, and narrowest in midsummer, at under 10.
(Angka dibulatkan dan dibuat untuk latihan, bukan data resmi.) Sekitar 170 kata.
Perhatikan: overview tidak memuat angka; detail memakai peaked, dipped, rose steadily; ada perbandingan langsung di akhir.

- stood at 5°C in January (nilai pada titik tertentu)
Kesalahan khas penutur bahasa Indonesia
- Tense: In 2005 the figure increase to 40%. → increased. Data dengan tahun di masa lalu selalu past simple. Periksa setiap kata kerja di akhir.
- Bentuk lampau tak beraturan: rised → rose, falled → fell, growed → grew.
- Jamak: the number of tourist → tourists.
- Increase sebagai kata benda tanpa in: an increase of the price → an increase in the price.
- Persen vs poin persen: dari 20% ke 30% adalah a rise of 10 percentage points, bukan 10%.
