 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...

   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...

  1.The government's investment in arts, music and theatre is a waste of money. Governments should invest these funds in public services instead. To what extent do you agree with this statement?   It is believed that financing activities related to art, music and theatre by governments is misspending and these investments should be rather spent on public services. I strongly disagree with this because these creative activities promote tourism as well as keep the mental well-being of people in a better state. 2. While recruiting a new employee, the employer should pay more attention to their personal qualities, rather than qualifications and experience. To what extent do you agree or disagree?   It is claimed that during the hiring process, more importance should be given to individual attributes of a new recruit, instead of educational and professional background. In my opinion, qualifications and previous work experience are of increased consideration because an em...

  The teaching of Information Technology (computers) has become a standard part of the curriculum in most secondary schools. The same is now happening in primary schools, where children as young as six are learning how to use computers. However, there is a danger that IT skills are being taught at the expense of more basic skills. To what extent do you agree or disagree? It has been observed that technology-related modules are not only being taught in a significant number of high schools, but now they are also a part of the syllabus in educational institutes teaching much younger children. Some people fear that this shift in the course structure is compromising other essential skills. I disagree with this perspective as it has become vital to be able to properly use technology in our daily lives and also the fact that teaching material should be modified based on the challenges anticipated in the future.  During the last decade, computers have become an integral part of our ev...

  Many serial dramas on TV (e.g. ‘soap operas’ or ‘soaps’) play an important social role. Do you agree or disagree? It is believed that television serials have a key role to play in a society. I agree with this belief not only due to the fact that these programs promote positivity but they also highlight issues that exist in a society.  Dramas on television are often found to be promoting happy thoughts among the audience. Since people seek entertainment from such shows, the themes are generally found to be uplifting. In other words, while these programs serve as a tool to bring the family members together, they also lighten up the mood of the ones watching. A good example to further elaborate my point of view would be sitcoms. They prove to be a source of a good laugh after a hectic day at work and as a result they promote a positive vibe among individuals and families.  Another key role being played by such programs is that they are found to be uncovering issues in a so...
