PRACTICE TEST 1

Task 1 (23’)

The diagram provides information about the proportion of Australian people who were overweight
based on their genders between 1980 and 2010.

Overall, the rates increased throughout the years. In addition, the percentage of overweight in male
people were always higher than that of their female counterparts.

As can be seen in the graph, in the first 20-year period, there was a significant rise in the proportion of
overweight male as well as female people, which were both nearly 20 percent. Ten years later, the rate
of overweight men decreased/experienced a mild drop from 70 percent to 65 percent. Meanwhile, the
percentage of overweight female people in Australia remained steady/plateaued/levelled off.

It is observable that even though in 2000 and 2010, the rate of Australian overweight women reached
the peak ata peak of 50 percent, it was still much lower than that of men. In fact, over the same period,
there were respectively 70 percent and 65 percent of the Australian men who were reported
overweight in 2000, and the figure thereafter dropped to 65% in the final year of the period.

Task 2 (55’)

In today’s world where the development of metropolises is observable, citizens prefer living on their
own or in a nuclear family to being in a house of many generations//an extended family. In my opinion,
although there are many adverse effects to this issue, the trend is still beneficial in various ways.

On the one hand, living either alone or with a few members brings many different advantages. First of
all, individuals have no problems ofproblems of generation gaps inherent in an extended family may
become non-existent. This is because being with the elderly makes engenders/causes many kinds of
misunderstanding between different age groups. For example, youngsters who have great passion for
rock music may not face trouble when turning on their favorite music type if they are not living with the
elderly who normally suffer cannot stand loud noises. Secondly, living by oneself or sharing one’s house
with only several members allows people to have more privacy. This not only enables humans to freely
express themselves but it also lets them have more spaces to better work.

On the other hand, being on one’s own or in a nuclear family may cause some certain adverse effects.
To begin with, living under the same roof with just oneself single-person households and nuclear
families or a small number of members may result in/bring in its wake loneliness. There is every
likelihood that whoever being is alone or with few people may not have enough emotional support
when necessary. When there is some circumstances of happiness, they also do not have anyone to share
with. In addition, settling down on one’s own or with a few people brings about the lack of experience in
younger generations. Being with the elderlyseniors gives youngsters young people chances to listen and
learn from their grandparents and expand their horizon. For example, nowadays people do not have full
understanding about past wars and events. However, if they share their own houses with grandparents,
they can gather and listen to old stories told by lively historical witnesses.

In conclusion, it is undeniable that there is an ever-growing trend of either living alone or being in small
family units. Besides some positive influences, it can cause some inconvenience to individuals.
