Academic Task 1 Bricks Manufacturing Process

Image
The diagram illustrates the process that is used to manufacture bricks for the building industry. Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features and make comparisons where relevant. Write at least 150 words.  The diagram shows how bricks are made for the building industry.  Overall, brick manufacturing consists of seven consecutive steps. First the raw material, clay, which lies just below the surface of the soil in certain clay-rich areas, has to be dug up by a digger. Then the lumps of clay are placed on a metal grid in order to break up the big chunks of clay into much smaller ones, which fall through the metal grid onto a roller, whose motion further segregates the bits of clay. Sand and water are added to make a homogeneous mixture, which is then either formed in moulds or cut into brick-shaped pieces by means of a wire cutter. These fresh bricks are then kept in a drying oven for at least 24 and a maximum of 48 hours, several dozens if not hundred...

Academic Task 1 Maps or Location

 The diagrams below show the site of a school in 2004 and the plan for changes to the school site in 2024. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant. Write at least 150 words.  The two pictures compare the layout of a school as it was in the year 2004 with a proposed site design for the year 2024. Overall, it is clear that the main change for 2024 involves the addition of a new school building. The school will then be able to accommodate a considerably larger number of students. In 2004, there were 600 pupils attending the school, and the two school buildings were separated by a path running from the main entrance to the sports field. By 2024, it is expected that there will be 1000 pupils, and a third building will have been constructed. Furthermore, the plan is to join the two original buildings together, creating a shorter path that links the buildings only. As the third building and a second car park will be...

Image
   You should spend about 20 minutes on this task. The charts below show the number of Japanese tourists travelling abroad between 1985 and 1995 and Australia’s share of the Japanese tourist market. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant. Write at least 150 words.    A graph and chart sample response The chart and graph compare the number of Japanese who spent their holidays overseas from 1985 to 1995 with the proportion of them who visited Australia.  In 1985, only about five million Japanese travelled abroad, after which the number increased steadily. By 1990, the figure had more than doubled to 11 million. Apart from a slight drop the following year, the upward trend continued until the end of the period, when numbers reached over 15 million. While Australia was the destination for under 2% of Japanese tourists in 1985, this percentage had risen to over 6% by 1994. The proportion grew c...
