The given charts give information about the number of students at university in the UK from 1991 to

2001, government spending and the types of family economic background they came from in 1991.
Sample answer:

The charts illustrate the number of undergraduates, government spending on each student from 1991
to 2001, and compare the percentages of students of different family economic backgrounds in 1991.
Figures were taken in the UK.

Overall, in 1991 the majority of undergraduates came from middle-income families. Also, in contrast to
the increased number of university students, government spending became more and more limited
toward the end of the period.

The proportion of university students whose family financial background fell into the middle category
was just over 60%, approximately twice as much as that of students from high-income families.
Meanwhile, only 8% of UK’s undergraduates were from families with low income in 1991.

There was a moderate rise in the number of undergraduates from over 1000000 in 1991 to more than
2000000 in 1999. This figure then slightly declined to precisely 2000000 after 2 years.

Despite the overall increase in students’ number, government budget allocated for supporting those
students fell exponentially from 6500 pounds to around 4700 pounds, a decrease of 1200 pounds in only
5 years. After that, the figure experienced almost no change until the end of the period.
Topic:

In many countries, children are becoming overweight and unhealthy.

Some people think that the government should have the responsibility.

To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Childhood obesity has become a typical sign of deteriorating public


where massive amounts of unhealthy food is consumed on a daily basis. In this regard, some people believe governments sh
we should not single out governments as the only ones responsible for combating the childhood obesity crisis.
The role of a competent and responsible government is to ensure the well-being of its people. That is to say, if there is any se
government should be the one to first realize such a threat, introduce and put solutions into practice. However, apart from en
government has any further role to play.

The duty to combat obesity in children should not fall on the government alone because parents are, for good reasons, a g
an obese child is often malnourished because they do not receive appropriate nutrients from their food, a truth that revea
suggests that parents can have a direct impact on improving their children’s health by choosing healthy eating patterns tha
caused by lack of physical activity. This can be exemplified by the sedentary lifestyle favored by a large number of youths
encourage or force their children to do more physical tasks or exercise.

The government should of course do what they can to curb the obesity epidemic, no matter how small their impacts might
thus need to take responsibility for their kids’ unhealthy condition.

The increase in people’s life expectancy means that they have to work until an older age to
pay for their retirement. One alternative is that people start to work at a younger age.

Is this alternative a positive or negative development?

Over the past few decades, people have become used to the idea that they will have to devote a larger
proportion of their life to work, and some of them even continue to work after the legal age of retirement.
The fact is that as human life expectancy increases, only a few jobs can ensure that people have a
comfortable retirement. Therefore, many people are choosing to enter the workforce much earlier than
before, and in my opinion, this is a negative development.

I agree that starting to work at a young age is advantageous for young people, but they should only
consider this as a way of gaining experience. Having a job while studying with the aim of saving money
to enjoy retirement is both unrealistic and counter-productive. For one, most part-time jobs students can
do, like bartending or tutoring, only offer quite low salaries, certainly not enough to contribute to their
retirement. Also, many high paying jobs, such as lawyers or doctors, require a qualification that can take
up to 6 years to get, and therefore are not possible for young people to do at a young age.

On the other hand, people nowadays are still fit to continue working well into their sixties or even
seventies. I believe working keeps people not only mentally but also physically healthy, which is
extremely important for the elderly. For example, my grandfather admits that he felt so bored and
unhealthy after retirement that he had to set up a workshop near his house and has been working there
ever since. This example also suggests that people should not consider working at a younger age as a way
to save money for retirement.

In conclusion, I understand there are reasons for young people to start their working lives earlier than the
generations of their parents or grandparents. However, working after the retirement age is a way to enjoy
a longer life expectancy, and therefore there is no obligation to have a job and save money from an earlier
age.

The given bar chart gives data about the daily smallest and largest amounts of SO2 and N2O which
caused pollution in 4 different cities, namely Los Angeles, Calcutta, Beijing and Mexico City, in the year
2000. Overall, Mexico City was the place most contaminated by the two mentioned pollutants among the
four cities.

In Los Angeles, the quantity of SO2 emitted into the atmosphere was lowest, with the minimum number
of 2 micro-grams per m3 and the maximum number five times as much. The levels of N2O emission were
much higher with the biggest figure reaching up to more than 100 micro-grams per m3 every day.
Meanwhile, the environment in Mexico City was severely polluted by SO2 and N2O emission with the
least of 80 and 113 micro-grams per m3 respectively.

Unlike Los Angeles and Mexico City, in Calcutta and Beijing, the amount of pollution caused by N2O
was less that that caused by SO2. The maximum figures for SO2 emission were 59 micro-grams per m3
in Calcutta and 130 micro-grams per m3 in Beijing while the biggest numbers for N2O in these places
were just above 50 micro-grams per m3
