TEST #3 (writing part)
The chart shows British Emigration to selected destinations between 2004 and 2007.

Write a report for a university, lecturer describing the information shown below.
This report is based on the data presented in the bar chart that depicts the number of British Emigrants to given
destinations from 2004 to 2007.

Overall, the chart displays that Australia was the most popular destination for British immigrants during these
years, while New Zealand and Spain saw a decrease in the number of British citizens moving to these
countries.

According to the chart, Australia was the most popular destination for British emigrants, with over 50,000
people moving there in 2006. This is a significant increase, in comparison to 2004, when only about 40,000
British citizens emigrated to Australia. Similarly, the same path was followed in 2005 with approximately
39,000 individuals when the number of British immigrants rose to over 40,000. As for Spain and France, both
of them fluctuated starting off with 35,000 and 24,000 British immigrants in 2004, and eventually dropping to
a whole 29,000 and 18,000 British immigrants.

Studying the English language in an English-speaking country is the best but not the only way to learn
language.

Do you agree or disagree with this statement?

Studying the English language in an English-speaking country is often perceived as the best way to learn the
language. However, I believe it is not the only way to learn the language, and there are other ways to achieve
perfection in English.

Studying English in an English-speaking country can be expensive. Tuition fees, accommodation,

transportation, and living expenses can add up to a considerable amount. This can discourage many students
from pursuing their dreams of studying in an English-speaking country. Moreover, some students may not
have the financial means to study abroad, and they may not have access to scholarships or other financial
programs.

However, there are many online resources available that can help students learn English. Numerous websites,
applications, and software programs offer English language courses, exercises, and practice tests such as
Duolingo, Lingualeo, and others. These resources are often free or affordable enough, and students can learn at
their own pace and convenience.
Furthermore, there are also English language schools in non-English speaking countries that offer high-quality
English language courses. These schools often have native English-speaking teachers, and they use English as
their primary language. This can provide students with a similar learning experience as studying abroad.

To conclude, while studying English in an English-speaking country may be the best way to learn the
language, it is not the only way. There are many alternative options available that can provide students with a
quality education in English. Therefore, it is important to consider all the available options and choose the one
that best suits your needs.

Writing task 2 from Cambridge 3

Popular events like the football World Cup and other international sporting occasions are essential in easing
international tensions and releasing patriotic emotions in a safe way. To what extent do you agree or disagree
with this opinion?

Thesis statement: In today's world, international sporting events have become an essential part of modern
society.

- Promoting international unity

- Safe release of emotions and specifically, patriotism

These events can act as a common place, where people from different countries can come together, share their
experiences, and develop a sense of friendliness.

As well as making individuals excited, they give a platform to express support for their country, without
resorting to violent or extremist means.

In conclusion, while international sporting events can promote international unity and provide a safe outlet for
patriotism, their impact on international tensions is limited and temporary.

When a country develops its technology, the traditional skills and ways of life die out. It is pointless to try and
keep them alive. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?

Thesis statement: The impact of technological development on traditional skills and ways of life is a topic of
increasing concern. Although the technology can accelerate our life, the traditional means cannot be
overlooked.

- Traditional skills and ways of life are important for cultural preservation
- Technology development leads to progress and innovation in various fields

Traditional skills and ways of life are an essential part of a country's cultural heritage, and they play a
significant role in preserving the country's unique identity.

However, it is true that technological advancement has brought positive changes and has led to significant
progress in various fields such as healthcare, transportation, and communication which created more virtual
traditions.

To sum up, while technological development has undoubtedly brought many benefits, it is crucial to recognize
the importance of preserving traditional skills and ways of life. It is not pointless to try and keep them alive, as
they play a crucial role in maintaining a country's cultural identity and can still be relevant and useful in
modern times.

In many countries children are engaged in some kind of paid work. Some people regard this as completely
wrong, while others consider it as valuable work experience, important for learning and taking responsibility.
What are your opinions on this?
Thesis statement: The issue of children being involved in paid work is a highly debated topic, with some
arguing that it is morally wrong, while others believe that it is a valuable experience for children to learn and
take responsibility.

- Personal opinion of the child

- Advantages of children’s work

First, job employers should always consider the child’s abilities and personal opinion because that is the main
part of hiring teenagers to work.

There are several advantages to allowing children to work, such as teaching them responsibility and providing
them with valuable work experience that eventually lead to a brighter future.

To conclude, it is up to parents, educators, and policymakers to balance the merits, drawbacks and opinions of
allowing children to engage in paid work.
