TEST 2

The line graph indicates the number of international travellers in three different
locations in a European nation over 2 decades from 1987 to 2007.Overall, it is
clear to see that the number of tourists from these destinations all increased
significantly during that period.
Starting at 1987, the statistic for lake and mountain areas was the lowest among
all sites, hitting a trough of 10 thousand. In comparison with this, just about 20
thousand holidaymakers came to Serie 3 and the figure for the coast accounted for
the highest among them, at 40 thousands.

The figure of visitors to lake and mountain areas rocketed drastically and reached
a peak of about 75 thousand by the year 2002. Similarly, there’s a dramatic rise of
that for the coast, with 70 thousand by 2003. At the end of the period, in 2007,
both the coast and the lake and mountain experienced a downfall trend in the
number of overseas visitors, to only 55 thousand and 65 thousand respectively.

Looking at the last figure, the statistic of people who went to Serie 3 fluctuated
throughout the period, to just under 30 thousand in 2002 and then reached
approximately 35 thousand guests in 2007.

 TEST 4

The pie charts illustrate the amount of nutrients that are included in four meals in
the USA. Overall, it is notable that dinner contains the highest percentage of
saturated fat and sodium while sugar is mostly found in snacks.

Looking at the statistics for dinner and lunch, the intake of sodium and saturated
fat share relatively the same percentage in these two dishes, with 43% and 29% of
sodium, 37% and 26% of fat respectively. Almost one fourth of added sugar is
consumed for dinner and 19% of this element appeared in midday meals.
The amount of sodium contained in breakfast and snacks share the same proportion
of 14% which is the lowest among three types of nutrients. In addition, the largest
imbalance in these two meals is shown in sugar with 42% belonging to snacks,
which is almost 3 times more than in breakfast. However, percentage for saturated
fat shows smaller disparity with the allocation of 21% in light meals and 16% for
the first dish of the day

TEST 5

The maps below show the development of a small fishing village and its
surrounding area into a large European tourist resort.
Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and
make comparisons where relevant.
You should write at least 150 words.
The provided maps illustrate how a small fishing village in Europe developed into
a tourist center throughout the course of 30 years commencing 1974.
Looking at the overall trend, it is apparent that the number of inhabitants in this
area experienced a staggering upsurge from 12000 to 80000 within 3 decades,
excluding the addition of 50000 tourist beds.
During this modernization, the woodland which was located in the west of the
village had been demolished for the construction of the golf course. Similarly, the
neighboring olive land was also replaced by farmland to grow fruits and vegetables
to meet the demand of local hotels. Situated in the mountainous areas, the two
inland villages were both extended in size and quantity, as the western side
witnessed an erection of tourist shops while the eastern village had the main road
cutting through the housing area.
As in the coastal regions, high-rise hotels were constructed along the beach to
serve as accommodations for travelers. The original village in the south of the map
was maintained, however, the harbor for maritime transportation was removed to
make space for the extension of tourism.

TEST 6

The diagram below show how leather goods are produced.

Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and
make comparisons where relevant.
You should write at least 150 words.
The provided diagram provides information about the production of leather items.
Overall, it is apparent that the manufacturing process consists of 11 stages,
commencing with the drying of animal hides and culminating in the finished
products for sales.
In the initial stage, raw materials which are derived from the skin of animals are
air-dried prior to being loaded onto trucks that head to the factory. The arrival is
followed by the washing section at which the skin is submerged into a tank that
contains the mixture of water and lime in order to remove all the excesses.
Subsequently, the wet materials are soaked in pure lime water in a flat container,
preceding the rolling process to flatten the product with the assistance of a two-
roller apparatus.
In the next phase, the skin is dipped for the third time in tannin which is a mixture
of water and vegetable substances. Then, the product undergoes the polishing stage
for the final touch-up to enhance its overall appearance. In the last steps, the
products are delivered to specialized factories for the design of specific purposes,
namely handbags, footwear, and other accessories. Once this stage is completed,
finished goods are ready to be transported to retailers where they will be displayed
for shoppers to purchase.

TEST 7 – Mixed chart

The chart and table below give information about population figures in Japan.
Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features and
make comparisons where relevant.
You should write at least 150 words.
The provided bar chart gives the breakdown of the number of Japanese inhabitants
whereas the table illustrates the data regarding senior citizens commencing from
1950 and projections to 2055.
Overall, it is transparent that there was a steady escalation both in terms of the
general population and people within the age group above 65. It is also worth
highlighting that the figure of Japanese citizens is forecasted to descend in the
foreseeable future.
Looking at the bar graph in closer inspections, the number started at 84.1 million
individuals in 1950, preceding a period of a gradual upsurge which gained 33
million after three decades. After that, the subsequent 15 years witnessed a
negligible growth of well under 8 million by 2005, reaching a record high at 127.8
million. The data then dwindled to 125.4 million in 2015 and is predicted to
plummet progressively to under 90 million in 2005.
Regarding the analysis of the elders' population, between 1950 and 2005, this age
group increased by fourfold from 4.1 to 25.7 million, registering for one-fifth of
the total number of citizens. By 2035, the growing pattern is projected to reach
37.2 million before being dragged down to 36.5 in 2005, taking up a staggering
41% of overall dwellers.
