Writing Task-1 Model Answer:
The chart illustrates the proportion of people visiting a cinema during seven days
of the week in a European nation from 2003 to 2007.
It is clear that there were only small fluctuations in people’s preference of which
day to go to the cinema over the examined period. People in this country tended
to go to the cinema on the weekend rather than on Monday to Friday.
In 2003, 40% of people went to cinemas on a Saturday, compared to 30% on

Friday or Sunday each. On the other days, the proportion of movie-goers was
higher on Tuesday, at 20%, while the lowest figure can be seen on Monday, at
only 10%.
Over the next four years, the percentage of people going to the cinema on
weekends increased slightly to 45% 35% for Saturday and Sunday respectively.
Similarly, Thursday and Monday became more popular among cinema-goers,
with about 2% more people choosing these days. However, fewer people went to
see movies on Tuesday and Wednesday, with the figures falling to 19% and 9%
respectively. Finally, the proportion of movie-goers choosing to go to the cinema
on a Friday remained at 30% during the three examined years.

WRITING TASK 2 Model Answer:
Holding business meetings and training via the internet has gained enormous
popularity in recent years. Although the drawbacks of this are varied, in my
opinion, the benefits are greater.
On the one hand, conducting meetings and training sessions online may have
some major disadvantages. The first drawback is the technical limitations that
participants may have, which may reduce the effectiveness of discussions or
meetings. For example, the elderly may find it hard to understand and make use
of latest programs and software, while other participants may lose track of the
progress of a meeting due to a slow internet connection or platform
malfunction. The second disadvantage is the lack of face-to-face
interaction which is often considered as the key to a successful meeting or
training session. While online attendants may be easily distracted by other
interesting, yet non-productive online activities, the physical presence of hosts or
trainers would no doubt provide a more engaging and active meeting or training
session.
However, I am convinced that the advantages of virtual meetings are more

significant. Compared to traditional face-to-face meetings, those held online
consume much less time and money. In the past, attendants had to make long
trips just to meet with other employees from other branches, however with online
meetings, all team members can join the conference from any place, without the
need to travel. Another advantage of online communication is that members who
join meetings and training can share and organise files and presentations easily
and conveniently. The files can also be edited or revised by other
members, facilitating collaboration within the whole team.
In conclusion, it seems that the merits of virtual meetings and trainings are more
significant than the downsides.
