Some people say that the Internet is making the world smaller by bringing people

together. To what extent do you agree that the internet is making it easier for people to
communicate with one another?
In today?s world _ due to the advancement of technology new inventions are coming into
existence. It is true that Necessity is a mother of invention. _ Internet is just like a wonder box,
which contains every type of information. Besides it has also proved as a very important tool to
connect people with one another.
In todays modernized era nobody has sufficient time to write letters to their loved
ones. Moreover it also takes longer to send or receive any information. But the Internet is the
easiest way to send messages to our loved ones. Communication can be either in the form of e-
mail or through text messages sent via internet to mobile phones. We can send and receive
messages straight way.
In other hand todays young generation mostly prefers to do chatting through the Internet. During
such chatting we can write messages and get replies straight away. Moreover voice chatting
is going to be very popular day-by-day.
As it is a reality the advantages and disadvantages resemble two sides of one coin, which usually
runs parallel. So like other things internet also have some downsides, like causing people health
problems for example, poor eye-sight, back ache or migraines. Todays teenagers usually prefer to
spend their time on the internet rather than to participating in other physical activities, which
causing them to have a weaker physical health.
To conclude, I would like to say that the Internet is one of the most modernized and most
successful tools, not only forcommunication, even to get most relevant information regarding
every field in a very short period of time.
This is a great essay, well done! Remember, the Internet is a proper noun, currently,
there is only one. Pay attention to your punctuation many commas are missing after
linking words. Otherwise, the essay is well argued and set out.
With all the problems in the world today, spending money on space exploration is a
complete waste. The money could be better spent on other causes.
Nations after nations, every day, every year, celebrates its achievements in space exploration.
However, it is now the time to question how meaningful these blasts are. This essay aims to
explain why it is questionable.
First, until all urgent and important matters of the globe have been solved, money bumped on
space exploration is meaningless. It is not a common sense at all to invest millions of dollars
researching and producing foods for astronauts (for space exploration purpose), while every day
thousands of people are starving. Furthermore, the discovery of outer space only serves a minor
group of people if the majority are even not well-educated. Those in rural areas or third-world
nations do no even know how to prevent common threatening diseases such as AIDS and lung
cancer.
Then, some may argue that the purpose of space exploration areto discover new lands, new
energy resources or to deter potential threat to globe. Nevertheless, is it effective to do so while
other alternatives are available? Lands on earth are no yet effectively used. New energy resources
(e.g. solar and nuclear energy) have not yet been widely-used. Threats of plagues have not yet
been deterred. All of these tasks that havent been tackled yet require money. That is why costly
space discovery programs are a waste of resources.
In a nutshell, people should only invest in space exploration provided that urgent and important
matters mentioned earlier in this essay have been solved. Also, purposes of space exploration
campaigns should be studied carefully and other alternatives should be considered before the
money is wasted.
As computers are being used more and more in education, there will be soon no role for
teachers in the classroom.
There is no doubt that education and the learning process has changed since the introduction of
computers: The search for information has become easier and amusing, and connectivity has
expedited the data availability. Though experts systems have made computers more intelligent,
they have not yet become a substitute of the human interaction in the learning process. In my
opinion what can be expected is a change of the teachers role, but not their disappearance from
the classroom.
Nobody can argue that the acquisition of knowledge is more fun and easier with computers. The
mere activity of touching and exploring this device constitutes an enjoyable task for a child. This,
accompanied by the relaxing attitude and software interactivity, usually contributes to a better
grasping of new knowledge. At a higher educational level the availability of digital books,
simulators and other academic materials provide the student with an ever accessible source of
information, that otherwise would not be at hand.
But, besides the increasing complexity and behavior of intelligent software, which is usually
embedded in the academic digital material, the need for human interaction in the learning process
will always be present, at least in the foreseeable future. There is the necessity for a human being
to be able to determine what thespecifics needs of each individual are. The expertise of a teacher
in how to explain and adapt complex concepts to different individuals can hardly be mimicked by a
computer, no matter how sophisticated its software is.
As computers are becoming a common tool for teaching, teachers should be more aware of their
role as guides in the acquisition of knowledge rather than transmitters of facts. They have to be
open minded to the changes that are taking places, keep updated and serve as problem solvers in
the learning process, thus allowing students to discover the fact for themselves.
To summarize, in my personal view, teachers play and will continue to play an important role in
the classroom, especially at the primary level. No matter how complex computers become, there
will be no replacement for the human interaction, but in the way haw thisinteraction takes place.

Below is a map of the city of Brandfield. City planners have decided to build a new
shopping mall for the area, and two sites, S1 and S2 have been proposed.
Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features and make
comparisons where relevant.
Write at least 150 words.

The map illustrates the two possible sites for a new shopping complex in the city of Brandfield. The
initial difference between two sites is that the first site is near a residential area, while the otheris
close to an industrial region.
The first site (S1) is located to the north of the city between the residential area and the city
centre. There are three infrastructure features (a river, a main road and a railway) around S1,
thus, these transports may provide easy access from most part of the city, if a shopping mall is
built in that area.
The second site (S2) lies to the south-east end of the city and is fairly close to the downtown and
the industrial part. The site is near two main roads and the railroad; however, has no residential
part around the area.
There is a large Golf Course and a park in the west side of the city, but both sites are not close to
the given area.

industries in Somecountry. Write a report for a university tutor describing the
information shown.
You should write at least 150 words.

The bargraph describes the water usage for every year in Somecountry in millions of cubic meters.
The water usage are shown by two trends , ground water and public supply. Fuel and textiles are
the ones that use the least water, 10 of public supply and 70 and 80 of ground water.
Machinery are just the opposite of these two and has 10 of ground water and 100 of public supply.
Food/drinks, metal, paper and chemicals are all over 100 of ground water where chemicals peaks
at dramaticlly 430. The highest figure of water usage of public supply also belongs to chemicals
(240). Next on the list is food/drinks with 190, the others are under 100.
Overall, the chemical industry uses a lot more water than the rest of the industries in terms of
both ground water and public supplies, and in general, most industries use ground water by far
more than public supply.

nearly doubling in the proportions of people joining in yoga (5 to 10 % ) and swimming ( 9 to 18%
) __ over the same period.
By contrast, the period shown witnessed a significant decrease in the percentages of American
people participating in the remaining activities. To be more specific, the figure for jogging nearly
halved from 7% to 3%. What is more, there was a dramatic fall in the proportion of aerobics
players from 13% to 4% from 1999 to 2009 . Finally, when it comes to bicycling, the figure for this

The graph demonstrated some striking similarities between the Chinese and the US birth rates
from 1920 to 2000. Both countries experienced considerable fluctuations in the similar period
withsome lows during the 1940s and some highs during the 1930s.
The birth rates in China rose from 10% in 1920 to 15% in 1935. Later, the figure plunged to a low
of 5% in the 1940s and was followed by an exponential growth to the peak of 20% in 1950. Next,
the fertility rate dropped sharply to 8% in the following five years. Finally, the figure declined
gradually to 3% during the latter half of the century.
Meanwhile, the US had similar birth rate of 12% to that of China in 1920. The figure fluctuated in
between 12% and 14% during 1920s and 1930s until it hit a low of 4% in 1945. Five years later,
the birth rate reached a peak at 15% in 1950 but it made a steady fall to the final figure of around
7% in 2000.

The graph illustrates the quantities of fish and different kinds of meats consumed in a European
country between the time periodof 1979 and 2004. Over this span of 25 years, the consumption of
beef, lamb and fish have all decreased while the consumption of chicken has dramatically risen.
The biggest consumption in 1979 was beef (about 220 grams per person was consumed every
week) while the lowest consumption in 1979 was fish (around 60 gram per week was consumed by
a person). The amount of fish which was eaten has remained almost constant at about 50 grams
from 1979 and 2004. The trends of beef and lamb consumption were similar, with decreases in
amount in between the years. While beef consumption had declined from over 200 grams per
person per week to around 100 grams during 25 years, lambs was starting 150 grams to
approximately 50 grams at the same period.
In contrast, chicken consumption had grown up gradually to year of 194, reaching a peak at
250grams per person every week inbetween 1994 and 2004.
The chart below shows the amount of money per week spent on fast foods in Britain.
The graph shows trends in consumption of fast foods. Write a report for a university
lecturer describing the information shown below.
Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features and make
comparisons where relevant.
Write at least 150 words.

The bar chart illustrates the expenditure on three different types of fast food such as hamburgers,
fish and chips and pizza in people in different level of income.
From the chart, it is clear that in a high-income group, 40 pence is spent on hamburgers a week,
which is the largest among the expenditures on all the three types of fast food. This expenditure is
also the greatest one in the average income group, but the amount of money spent is only about
33 pence a week, much less than that in the high-income group. As for the low-income group, the
largest expenditure is on fish and chips, about 18 pence a week.
The line graph compares the trends of the amount of three type of fast food consumed between
1970 and 1990. It is clear that the amount of hamburgers and fish and chips consumed showed an
increasing trend, while pizza consumed gradually decreased from 300g in 1970 to 700g in 1985,
before it grew to about 240g in 1990. The consumption of fish and chips overtook that of pizza and
hamburgers in 1982 and 1988 respectively.

club think about the clubs activities, facilities, and opening hours.
Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features and make any
comparisons where relevant.
Write at least 150 words.

The table illustrates the preference levels of male and female members of a sport club about their
activities, facilities and opening hours. It is clear that the greater proportion of male members
is contented about the clubs activities (91%) whereas this figure is true only for 70% of female
members.
Moreover, more than 85% of both male and female are happy about the facilities and 63% of male
members and 64% female members are extremely satisfied in this regard. In fact, only 14% of
female members and 10% of male members are negative about this.
In addition, opening hours are in the best interest of women as 97% of them are positive about it.
In contrast, more than one third of men have expressed their dissatisfaction in this regard.
In conclusion, it is clear that male and female members hold different opinion about the activities
and facilities and opening hours of the club.
The chart below shows information about average house prices in five different cities
between 1990 and 2002 compared with average house prices in 1989.
Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features and make
comparisons where relevant.
Write at least 150 words.

The chart provides a break down about the average variation inhouse prices in five various cities
from 1990 to 2002 along with a comparison with house price in 1989. Overall, it is clear that the
average house price increased substantially over the given period compared with the prices in
1989.
As can be seen, between 1990 and 1995, the average house prices in Tokyo and
London indicated a sharp dip by approximately 7% in both cities. They were followed by New York
with a 5% decline. In contrast, the average house price showed a slight increase of 2% and 2.5%
in Frankfurt and Madrid respectively.
On the contrary, during the period of 1996 to 2002, London with 12% demonstrated a sharp
growth in housing prices. It was followed by New York and Madrid with 5% and 4% respectively
along with a small increase of around 2% in Frankfurt. Similarly, Tokyo showed a rise of about 2%
but it was still 5% lower than the average house price in 1989.


The graph illustrates the figures of average house prices in the five different cities during the
period from 1990 to 2002, in comparison with the data in 1989. Overall, there was an upward
trend in the percentage of change of house prices during the period shown in almost all of the
cities except for Frankfurt.
As can be clearly seen, there was a considerable fall by approximately 5% in the proportion
change of estate prices in New York between 1990 and 1995. Likewise, Tokyo and London, which
had the same figures, witnessed a dramatic decrease by about 7% over the same period.
However, the figures for Madrid and Frankfurt were around 2% and 3%, respectively.
During the latter period from 1996 to 2002, the figure for London was the highest with more than
10% in the percentage of change of house prices. During the same period, the rates at which the
house prices increased were about 5% in New York and 4% in Madrid. This rate in Frankfurt was
2%, lower than than in the first 5-year period. Finally, the percentage change in Tokyo fell by
around 5% between 1996 and 2002.
