SAMPLE WRITING TASK 1
The given line graph illustrates the demands for electricity during normal days
of summer and winter in England, while the pie chart describes how an
average household consumes electricity in England.

The line graph exhibits that electricity demand in winter is significantly higher
than that in summer. Besides, the pie chart shows that more than half of the
electricity is consumed for the purpose of heating rooms and water.

The given illustration shows that in winter, electricity demand in England rise
up to almost 48,000 units and drops to nearly 30,000 units. It is generally
observed that the demand increases after the evening time. While in summer,
the electricity demand rises up to 20,000 units in the noon time and drops to
almost 12,000 in the early morning.

The given pie chart demonstrates that more than half of the electricity is
utilised for the purpose of heating rooms and water which is 52%. The second
major proportion of electricity, 18%, is utilised for using ovens, kettles and
washing machines. Lighting, TV and radio utilise 15% electricity while the
remaining 15% goes for the vacuum cleaner, food mixers, and electric tools.

SAMPLE WRITING TASK 1

The presented graph illustrates the electricity requisition in England during two
different seasons, winter and summer. Meanwhile, the pie chart demonstrates
how the electricity is utilised daily and to what quantity.

In general, both in winter and summer, the electricity demand rises up from
around 9:00 am to about 23:00 pm and the electricity in mainly spent for
heating room and water.

Looking at the detail, the electricity demand in summer is reckoned between

10,000 – 20,000 units. It goes to around 12,000 before 9 am and slightly
increases to around 20,000 at 14 pm and relatively fluctuates until the rest of
the day. However, in winter, the electricity requisition sets about 35,000 units
at 00 am and gradually spikes before it actually rises at 9 am and keeps the
level swells until around 45,000 units at 23 pm.

Meanwhile, due to utilisation and quantity, heating room and water require the

vast majority, 52%, of electricity using. This high proportion is related to the
high electricity demand for these two appliances during winter. Whereas other
kitchen and electronic devices, vacuum cleaners, food mixers and electronic
tools amass lower proportion, 48%, than heating rooms and water.

SAMPLE WRITING TASK 2

Nowadays, the majority of world population is living in urban areas. While many
people associate city life with prosperity, urban dwellers actually have to
experience various difficulties, including crime and environmental pollution.
From my perspective, governments should use counter-urbanization as a
measure to ease the aforementioned problems.

One of the common issues with living in a city is crime. For a violent crime to
occur, there must be a culprit and a victim. In a highly populated area, the risk
of encountering a mob is much higher than that of a small town. Additionally, if
the culprit feels protected by the anonymity that a large city provides, he may
commit more wrongdoings. Furthermore, air pollution is also a prevalent issue
in major cities. Surface transportation is the main source of greenhouse gas
emissions, which cause respiratory problems to the people. This problem is
exacerbated by the sheer number of vehicles commuting daily in the city.

In my opinion, to tackle both the issues above, governments should promote

the migration from urban areas to rural ones. As the population density of a
metropolitan area is reduced, so do crimes and air pollution. However, city
dwellers have their reasons to stay in urban places, such as to enjoy education
and job opportunities. This is why governments need to step in because only
they can introduce rural development policies. If countryside areas have better
infrastructures, people will find less incentive to live in big cities.

In conclusion, crime and air pollution are two of the various problems of urban
life. I believe that urban-to-rural migration, promoted by governments, is an
appropriate solution for those issues.
