Task 1 Question:

The table below gives information about the


problems faced by children in two primary schools
in 2005 and 2015

(paraphrasing word by word which many can do)

The table provides data on a number of problems


that two primary schools’ children faced between
2005 and 2015
Compare (taqqoslamoq) + in terms of (jihatdan)

The table compares two primary schools in terms of


a number of problems their children faced over a
period of 10 years from 2005 to 2015

(nice paraphrasing which you should apply to your


own introduction if you want to impress the
examiner from the very beginning. “compare + in
terms of” is difficult as candidates confuse
“taqqoslanayotgan narsa” with “qaysi jihatdanligi”.
Therefore, be careful with using it)

Compare + in terms of

number of Olympic medals won by 12 different

The task for you! Paraphrase the task 1 questions


above using “compare + in terms of” structure to get
better as the saying goes “Practice makes perfect”
Furthermore, keep in mind that in order for us to use
the structure, we need to have at least two things to
compare. Otherwise, we have no other options but
to use another alternatives.
