The table illustrates the growth of population, average fertility rate, and life expectancy at birth
in nations with categorized income levels in 2002 and 2004. Overall, higher income countries
experienced lower population growth and average birth per woman. Additionally, all nations
witnessed an increase in life expectancy at birth for the period.

Regarding the population growth rate, high income countries witnessed a minimal drop from
0.8% in 2002 to 0.7% in 2004, while the figure for middle income nations experienced a plateau
at 0.9%. Despite having the highest rate throughout the period, the percentage of low income
countries dipped slightly from 2% in 2002 to 1.8% in 2004.

Concerning the fertility rate, female citizens from high income countries gave birth to an
average of 1.7 infants in both years, which was the lowest. The statistics for middle and low
income nations were 2.2 and 3.9 in 2002, respectively, after which they both decreased by
around 0.1 in 2004.

2
Turning to life expectancy at birth, high income countries ranked first at 78 years old in 2002.
The next highest data was middle income nations at 69.1, followed by low income countries at
58.1. In 2004, all countries saw an increase of approximately 0.8 in this category.

The bar graph compares the rise of urban population in different regions of the world in 1950
and 2000, with forecasts for 2023. Overall, the proportion of residents in all given areas, as
well as in the entire world, are predicted to increase. Additionally, the population rate of Latin
America and the Caribbean was consistently the highest, and is expected to remain this way in
2030.

Regarding the year 1950, the rate of city population in Latin America and the Caribbean was
the highest among all regions at over 40%. Nearly 15% and approximately 12% of the
population in Asia and Africa were city dwellers, respectively. The total population of cities
all over the world accounted for about 30%.

Turning to 2000, the figure for Latin America and the Caribbean ascended moderately to 70%,
while those for Asia and Africa rose significantly to roughly 39%. As for the whole world, the
share of city residents constituted nearly half of the world's population.

4
Concerning the prediction for 2030, the percentage of Latin America and the Caribbean’s urban
population are projected to maintain the highest by growing to 80%. About 51% of African
habitants are expected to live in cities, which is marginally lower than the figure for Asia at
over 56%. The rate of the world's urban population is also anticipated to increase moderately,
to 60%.

The line chart compares the amount of nitrogen oxide emitted by different types of vehicles in
relation to their velocity. Overall, the amount of emissions from trucks and buses decreases as
they begin to accelerate, but increases when the vehicles are at top speed, compared to a fairly
constant level from diesel and gasoline cars.

Regarding vehicles that release lower levels of emissions, petrol automobiles produce
approximately 11g of nitrogen oxide per kilometer at a speed of 10kph. As the vehicle
accelerates to 100kph, the amount of emissions decreases minimally by roughly 2g/km.
However, at the velocity of 130kph, it rises to about 12g/km. Diesel cars emit a lower amount
of roughly 7g/km at 10kph, which declines at a fairly constant rate to precisely 5g/km when
the vehicle reaches 130kph.

Concerning the remaining categories, the amount of emission for buses starts at 40g/km at
10kph and plummets to just over 25g/km at 60kph. From this point, it begins to surge
dramatically and reach the highest point of around 42g/km when the vehicle maintains a
velocity of 130kph. At 10kph, lorries discharge approximately 34g/km, which is moderately

6
lower than buses and the figure decreases to about 16g/km at 90kph, before soaring to nearly
25g/km at 130kph.

The pie charts compare the share of energy created from various sources in an unnamed nation
in 1985 and 2003. Overall, oil produced the highest proportion of energy in both years.
Additionally, only the rate of energy outcomes from natural gas, coal, and unspecified
renewable sources experienced an increase over the given period.

Regarding the year 1985, over half of the energy in this country was contributed by oil, which
was more than double the next highest amount from nuclear power. Natural gas ranked third at
13%, while coal and hydrogen comprised 8% and 4% of the total energy, respectively. Other
renewable sources accounted for the lowest percentage, at only 1%.

As for 2003, despite decreasing considerably to 39%, oil was still the largest source of energy,
followed by natural gas, which ascended to nearly one-quarter. The rate of energy from nuclear
power dropped by 5%, from 22% to 17%, whereas that from coal increased marginally to 13%.
Finally, hydrogen and other renewable sources witnessed identical percentage points of 4%.

The line chart illustrates the proportion of female students studying various subjects, at a
college, from 1970 to 2015. Overall, all courses experienced a rise in the rate of students over
the given period, with the most dramatic increase witnessed in the figure for law.

Computer science and physics started the period the highest. Computer science ranked first
with roughly 33% of students in 1970 and soared to around 77% in the following twenty years.
A sudden plummet from this point saw the proportion decrease to less than 40% by 2015. The

9
percentage of female students taking physics started at approximately 30% in 1970. After a
brief plateau at nearly 60% from 1990 to 1995, it ascended continuously to about 87% in 2015.

Concerning the remaining categories, nearly a fifth of females studied medicine in 1970.
Subsequently, the figure surged exponentially to around 65% in 1990 and finished at over 90%
in the final year. The share of female law students was the lowest in 1970 at just approximately
10%, yet it rose significantly to roughly 50% in 1980, surpassing those of the other three
courses. By the end, almost every female in this university took a law course.

The pictures illustrate the layout of the floor plan of an art gallery in 2005 and its alterations
until the present day. Overall, the most noticeable changes are the improved accessibility for
guests as well as accommodation for children.

Regarding the top half of the place, the coffee and shopping room at the upper left corner is
now used as a gallery shop only, while the office below it was removed for a space for coffee
and food vending machines. The staircase at the top center was reduced in width, making space
for an elevator. The exhibition rooms in the upper right have remained intact.

Concerning the other half, in the area of the entrance hall, which is in the middle of the gallery,
the curved-shape reception desk at the bottom of the stairs was removed and a round-shape
table is now situated in the middle of the lobby, along with several chairs. Another two
exhibition rooms in the right stayed unchanged, whereas the last one on the left side now
displays temporary exhibitions and was shrunk in size to make room for a designated playing
section for minors below it. The entryway in the bottom centre has experienced no
modifications, yet half of the stairs outside leading to it is now a ramp of wheelchairs.

The process diagram demonstrates different steps in manufacturing canned pears. Overall, the
production comprises fourteen steps, starting with harvesting the fruit, continuing with canning
the product, and ending with distribution.

The first nine steps involve processing the fruit for packaging. At first, the pears are picked
manually and then transferred to a place designated for rinsing. After being verified for the
quality, they are then preserved in cold conditions. This is followed by a stage of grading by
weight of the pears, after which the cores and seeds are removed and the pears are sliced, ready
for the next stage of packaging.

The final product is the outcome of the remaining steps. Slices of pears are packed into cans,
which are then sealed. In the next step, the cans undergo a process of cooking and sterilizing.
After being labeled, the products are placed into storage before being transported for
distribution. (150 words)

The image demonstrates the various stages in acquiring a driving license in a particular state in
the US. Overall, there are at least seven steps in the process if the applicants pass all the
requirements, and additional steps may be mandatory if they fail any stages.

13
The first four steps decide whether an examinee is qualified for the test. The potential driver
first needs to visit the license establishment to submit a filled form. After this, they are required
to pass an optical test in order to advance to the licensing procedures; otherwise, they cannot
be furthered.

The remaining steps involve payment and driving skill examinations. The contestant is obliged
to pay a charge before performing a written exam, which allows two failures before entering
the next step, otherwise they must pay the test fee once more to redo this exam. This is followed
by a driving test, in which applicants who pass will receive their licenses, while those who fail
must pay the charge again to re-enter the written examination phase.

The table and bar graph illustrates the average minutes that British males and females allocate
each day to different recreational activities and house chores. Overall, both genders in the UK
spend the longest time on TV, videos, and radio. Additionally, women allot more time every
day on most houseworks, except for repairing.

Regarding entertainment, British men and women spend the longest time watching television,
videos and listening to the radio at 137 and 118 minutes per day, respectively. Males play sport
for an average of 15 minutes every day, which is 4 minutes higher than the figure for females.
Moreover, nearly 20 minutes a day are dedicated to reading by each gender.

Concerning household activities, women in Britain allocate approximately 75 minutes to

cooking and washing, while they only spend roughly more than half an hour on shopping or

16
washing and ironing clothes. The figures for men for those three house chores are relatively
smaller, with roughly 30 minutes for cooking and washing, about 25 for shopping, followed by
nearly 10 minutes for washing and ironing clothes. Male citizens in the UK only dominate in
the time for repairing work at nearly 20 minutes per day, which is double that of females.
