Exercise 1 Decide which of the following two-sentence introductions is better written. k= #$;.i © 4 ‘You should spend twenty minutes on this task. ae a ce Hours: History English Politics Sociology Computer Literature ‘Science You should write at least 150 words. Part 1 Writing Task 1 ~ Graphs Introduction 1 The given bar chart shows the differences in the average hours spent by professors counseling their students in 2009. The bar graph not only compares average hours across five different ma- jors, but also distinguishes between full-time and part-time lecturers. Introduction 2 The bar graph indicates the average numbers of hours professors spend counseling students. The graph considers both field and employment status, and compares the two.

Exercise 2 Find the two best written body paragraphs for Exercise 1 among the four below, and consider what mistakes are contained in the other two. Body Paragraph 1 According to the graph, the subject where students were counseled least was history, with full- time staff talking to students 3 hours a week on average, as compared to 2 hours for part-timers. There is a similar level of counseling between the two majors, English literature and politics, with full-timers for both faculties spending an average of 4 hours respectively, as compared to the 2.5 and 3 hours part-timers spent counseling in their respective departments. Body Paragraph 2 Let us look at full-timers first of all. According to the graph, computer science students were counseled the most, while politics and English literature students occupy second and third places. They are then closely followed in average hours by the other two majors, sociology and history. Body Paragraph 3 Part-timers worked hardest in the computer science department. There they spent 3 hours coun- seling students, much more than in the sociology department. Body Paragraph 4 In sociology, full-time instructors spent an average of 3 hours counseling, while the sociology department's part-timers were only slightly behind at 2.5 hours a week. There was a notice- able difference in computer science, where students were counseled the most by full-time staff at 4.5 hours, compared to only 3 hours by part-time professors. | | Doan gidi thigu 1 va 4 duge viét tot hen hai doan cén Iai.

Exercise 3 Look at the two overviews for Exercise 1. Which one is the most accurate and uses the proper style expected in Task 1? Overview 1 To put it another way, full-time teachers spent more hours corresponding with students than part-timers, while computer science students got the most attention at this university. Overview 2 Overall, there are two clear trends evident, first being that the combined staff in the computer science department spent the most time counseling their students, and second, that full-time staff generally spent much more time with their students than did part-timers. — | joan téng két 1 khong dat yéu cdu vi ngudi viét néu thong tin cht quan: sinh vin | nganh khoa hoe méy tinh nhan duge nhiéu sy quan tém nhét.

Exercise 4 Study the following graph and then read the task response that follows. Using the information | provided, complete the task response by adding an overview. MU You should spend twenty minutes on this task. You should write at least 150 words. ‘Average spending on pocket money in the UK 1 Average femies pocket money Bi Average eh recnved Pounds Income groups Task Response The given chart compares the amount families spent on pocket money in the UK in 2007 ac- cording to income, and then compares this with how much an individual child from each income g bracket received on average. 8 7 Remarkably, families in the lowest income bracket gave the most pocket money at £15, while = those in the middle bracket gave the least at just £9. Families from the highest income level allo- = cated £12 for their children’s pocket money. = s 5 Unit BerGraphs 67 68 Meanwhile, the children who received the most money, which was £10, were from the wealthiest income group, while children received an average of only £6 if they belonged to a middle-class family, Perhaps surprisingly, children in the lowest income group fared slightly better, with each receiving an average of £7 per week.

Exercise 7 Look at the two following sentences and consider how adjectives and other modifying words affect the accuracy of the data being described. 1. Despite a drop in the rate of teenagers having access to sports centers in 2004, from then on there was a rise in sports classes being offered to the point that in 2010, there was an increase in students involved in a sport. 2. Despite a slight drop in the rate of teenagers having access to sports centers in 2004, from then on there was a significant rise in sports classes being offered to the point that in 2010, there was a fourfold increase in students involved in at least one sport.

Exercise 8 The following response is actually missing a number of adjectives and adverbs (see below). This time there are no blanks and you need to use your knowledge of the writing process to figure out where exactly they belong. To make things less confusing, they appear in the text in the same order as given below. unspecified different youngest ~—respectively even relatively further middle significantly a lot kz = &=—=—=£=£=—COti
