ielts writing part 1
The chart below gives information about global sales of games software, CDs and DVD or video.Write a report for a university lecturer describing the information.∙You should write at least 150 words.∙You should spend about 20 minutes on this task.model answer:The chart shows the changes in the sales of video material / DVDs, gam es software and CDs around the world in billions of dollars over a three-year period. It can be seen that the sales of videos / DVDs and games software have increased, while the sales of CDs have gone down slightly.Between 2000 and 2003, the sale of videos and DVDs rose by approximately 13 billion dollars. In 2000, just under 20 billion dollars worth of these item s were sold, but in 2003, this figure had risen to a little over 30 billion dollars.The sales of gam es software also rose during this period, but less sharply. Sales increased from about 13 billion dollars in 2000 to just under 20 billion dollars three years later. By contrast, during the sam e time period, the sale of CDs fell from 35 billion dollars in 2000 to about 32.5 billion dollars in 2003.Eating sweet foods produces acid in the mouth, which can cause tooth decay. (High acid levels are measured by low pH values)Describe the information below and discuss the implications for dental health.∙You should write at least 150 words.Allow yourself 20 minutes for this task.model answer:Anyone who has visited a dentist has been told that eating excessive amounts of sweets risks harming the teeth. This is because sweets lower pH levels in the mouth to dangerous levels.When the pH level in the mouth is kept above 5.5, acidity is such that teeth are unlikely to be in danger of decay. Sweet foods, however, cause pH in the mouth to drop for a time, and the longer pH levels remain below 5.5, the greater the opportunity for decay to occur.By comparing fruit sugar, cane sugar and honey, which are all common ingredients of sweet foods, we find that cane sugar lowers pH levels for the longest period, thusproducing the greatest risk of the three. Approximately five minutes aftfter consuming cane sugar, pH levels drop to as little as pH 3.5. They then begin to rise slowly, but do not rise above pH 5.5 until at least 30 minutes have elapsed. By contrast, fruit sugar, which causes the mouth's acidity to fall to just above pH 4, poses a danger for a shorter period: tooth decay is unlikely 20 minutes after consumption. Honey appears an even less risky substance. Though acidity falls to about pH 4.75 within five minutes of consumption, it returns to above pH 5.5 in under fifteen minutes.The implications, then, are that people who insist on eating sweet foods should be aware of the ingredients, and that fruit sugar or honey appear preferable to cane sugar.Write a report for a university lecturer describing the information in the two graphs below.∙You should write at least 150 words.∙Allow yourself 20 minutes for this task.model answer:The pie charts com pare the highest level of education achieved by wom en inSom eland across two years, 1945 and 1995. It can be clearly seen that wom en received a much higher level of education in Som eland in 1995 than they did in 1945.In 1945 only 30% of wom en com pleted their secondary education and 1% went on to a first degree. No wome n had com pleted post-graduate studies. This situation had changed radically by 1995. In 1995, 90% of wom en in Someland had com pleted secondary education and of those, half had graduated from an initial degree and 20% had gone on to postgraduate studies. At the other end of the scale we can see that by 1995 all girls were com pleting lower secondary, although 10% ended theirschooling at this point. This is in stark contrast with 1945 when only 30% of girls com pleted primary school, 35% had no schooling at all and 35% only completed the third grade.In conclusion, we can see that in the 50 years from 1945 to 1995 there have been huge positive developments to the education levels of wom en in Someland.Write a report for a university lecturer describing the information in the table below.∙You should write at least 150 words.∙Allow yourself 20 minutes for this task.model answer:The table shows how people in different age groups spend their leisure tim e in Som eland over the course of a year. It can be clearly seen that the am ount of leisure tim e available varies considerably across the age groups and that people of different age levels have very different ways of spending their leisure time.According to the figures, as people age in Som eland their soc ial lives reduce.Teenagers and people in their twenties spend on average 500 hours per year on socialising and 350 hours of that tim e is with a group of more than 4 people.Although the total hours of socialising in their 30s, 40s, 50s and 60s is fairlyconstant (between 300-350), socialising with m ore than 4 people dropsdramatically to 50 hours in the 30s and 40s age groups and only 25 from 50 years old. Group and individual exercise follow a similar pattern.People of all ages spend a good part of their leisure time on entertainment such as TV/video viewing and cinema. In both cases, teenagers and retired people spend around twice as m uch tim e as those who are at working age. Home entertainment ranges from just over a thousand hours for teenagers and retired people and an average of 600 hours for everyone else. Cinema accounts for 100 hours of the teenagers and retired people’s leisure tim e and 25-50 hours for the rest.In conclusion we can see there is a significant trend towards solitary and smaller group activities as people grow older and that teenagers and retired people spend a lot m ore time on entertainm ent than those of working age do.The map below is of the town of Garlsdon. A new supermarket (S) isplanned for the town. The map shows two possible sites for thesupermarket.Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.∙You should write at least 150 words.∙Allow yourself 20 minutes for this task.model answer:The first potential location (S1) is outside the town itself, and is sited just off the main road to the town of Hindon, ly ing 12 kms to the north-west. This site is in the countryside and so would be able to accommodate a lot of car parking. This would make it accessable to shoppers from both Hindon and Garlsdon who could travel by car. As it is also close to the railway line linking the who towns to Cransdon (25 km to the south-east), a potentially large number of shoppers would also be able to travel by train.In contrast, the suggested location, S2, is right in the town centre, which would be good for local residents. Theorically the store could be accessed by road or rail from the surrounding towns, including Bransdon, but as the central area is a no-traffic zone, cars would be unable to park and access would be difficult.Overall, neither site is appropriate for all the towns, but for customers in Cransdon, Hindon and Garlsdon, the out-of-town site (S1) would probably offer more advantages.The diagram below shows the typical stages of consumer goodsmanufacturing, including the process by which information is fed back to earlier stages to enable adjustment.Write a report for a university lecturer describing the process shown.∙You should write at least 150 words.∙You should spend about 20 minutes on this task.model answer:Most consum er goods go through a series of stages before they em erge as finished products ready for sale.Raw materials and manufactured com ponents com prise the initial physical input inthe manufacturing process. Once obtained, these are stored for later assembly. But assem bly first depends upon the production planning stage, where it is decided how and in what quantities the stored m aterials will be processed to create sufficient quantities of finished goods. The production planning stage itself follows the requirements of the goods' design stage that proceeds from extensive research. After assem bly, the products are inspected and tested to m aintain quality control l Those units that pass the inspection and testing stages are then packaged, despatched and offered for sale in retail outlets. The level of sales, which is the end point of the m anufacturing process, helps determine production planning.A product's design is not only the result of product research, but is also influenced by testing and market research. If the testing stage (after assembly and inspection) reveals unacceptable problems in the finished product, then adjust m ents will have to be m ade to the product's design. Similarly, market research, which examines the extent and nature of the dem and for products, has the role of guiding product design to suit consum er demands which m ay change with time. Market research, while influenced by product sales, also serves to foster future sales by devising suitable advertising for the goods.Thus the reality of consum er goods manufacturing goes well beyond a simple linear production process.。

IELTS writing 1
The IELTS General Training Task 1 Writing TestThe IELTS General Training Writing Test lasts for 1 hour and includes 2 tasks. Task 1 is a letter and you must write at least 150 words. You should spend about 20 minutes out of the hour for task 1. Task 2 is an essay and you must write at least 250 words. You should spend about 40 minutes for Task 2.The Task for the IELTS General Training Task 1 WritingThe IELTS General Training Writing Task 1 asks you to write a letter of a minimum of 150 words in response to some situation or problem. The task will probably ask you to complain about something, to request information, ask for help, to make arrangements and/or explain a situation. All these are fairly similar tasks.Marking for the IELTS General Training Task 1 WritingThe IELTS General Training Task 1 Writing will be marked in four areas. You will get a mark from 1 to 9 on Task Achievement, Coherence & Cohesion, Lexical Resource and Grammatical Range and Accuracy. Your final band for task 1 will be effectively an average of the four marks awarded in these areas. Task 1 writing is less important than task 2 and to calculate the final writing mark, more weight is assigned to the task 2 mark than to task 1's mark. To get a good overall mark for The IELTS General Training Writing though, both tasks have to be well answered so don't hold back on task 1 or give yourself too little time to answer it properly.Task Achievement This where you can really make a difference through careful preparation. This mark grades you on basically "have you answered the question". It marks whether you have covered all requirements of the task suffiently and whether you presented, highlighted and illustrate the key points appropriately.Coherence and Cohesion These two are interrelated which is why they are done together. Cohesion is how your writing fits together. Does your writing with its ideas and content flow logically? Coherence is how you are making yourself understood and whether the reader of your writing understands what you are saying. An example of bad coherence and cohesion would be as follows:1 We went to the beach because it was raining.Probably the writer of this sentence does not mean "because" as people don't usually go to the beach when it is raining. The writer should have written:2 We went to the beach although it was raining.Sentence 1 has made a cohesion and coherence error (as well as a vocabulary one). "Because" does not join the ideas of the sentence together correctly and, as a result, thereader does not understand what the writer wants to say. This is an exaggerated example but it shows what I mean. Good cohesion and coherence is not noticeable as it allows the writing to be read easily. Good cohesion and coherence also includes good and appropriate paragraph usage.Lexical Resource This area looks at the your choice of words. The marker will look at whether the right words are used and whether they are used at the right time in the right place and in the right way. To get a good mark here, the word choice should not only be accurate but wide ranging, natural and sophisticated.Grammatical Range and Accuracy Here the examiner will mark your appropriate, flexible and accurate use of grammatical structures. Many people are worried about their grammar but, as you can see, grammar is only one section of four used to grade your writing. IELTS is much more interested in communication rather than grammatical accuracy. It is, of course, still part of the marking scheme and important as such.Paragraphing for the IELTS General Training Task 1 WritingThis is a very easy thing to do but it can have an enormous effect on the intelligibility of your writing and, of course, good use of paragraphing is part of the marking under the section Coherence and Cohesion. Very often people use no paragraphing in The IELTS General Training Task 1 Writing and the examiner is faced with a "sea" of writing with no breaks from start to finish. For me, the best writings are those where there are paragraphs separated by an empty line and also indented. In this way your ideas are separated clearly. It shows and gives organization to your writing and makes it more readable.For a longer section on paragraphing and how useful it can be, see GT Writing Task 2 Tutorial.Areas to PrepareAs I said earlier, Task 1 is the best for preparation. Below are some areas for you to consider: 1 Answering the question.As I said above, task achievement (answering the question) is one quarter of your total mark and it is an area in which everyone should do well. This is often, however, not the case. What you must do is to write a letter, which would fully answer the needs of the problem in a real life situation. Even if you have covered all that the question itself asks, have you included everything in the letter needed to realistically perform its function. For example, a question I have seen somewhere gives the candidate the following task:You have some library books that you are unable to return as a member of your family in another city has fallen sick and you have had to go and look after them.Write a letter to the library explaining the situation. Apologize for the inconvenience called and say what you are going to do.You should write at least 150 words.This seems a fairly typical IELTS General Training Task 1 writing question. Answering the question in a way that will get you a good Task Fulfilment grade needs a number of things for you to do.1) Write at least 150 words.Writing less does not answer the question, which tells you to write at least 150 words. If you write less than 150 words, the examiner marking your paper will give you a maximum of 5 for Task Achievement or even less.2) Fully do all the things that the question asks you.In this case it asks you to do 3 main things:1.explain the situation2.apologize for the inconvenience3.say what you are going to doThe important part is to fully do these things. Don't take 1 line to explain about your relative - people who do this often don't make the 150 word limit. Enlarge on what the question tells you. Use your imagination. It must be something fairly serious to make you leave town and you must be the only one possible to look after the relative so go into these things. Be realistic as well.You're writing to a library and you won't make it too personal. Apologizing won't take up much space but you can still devote a couple of sentences to it. Saying what you are going to do should be a full explanation as well.3) Make your letter realistic so it would function in a real life situation.This involves adding other things to the letter, which it may not ask you for, but without which your letter would not perform its function. For this question, it would mean introducing yourself by name, giving your library card membership number, telling the library the titles of the books that you have borrowed, the names of their authors, their library reference numbers, when you borrowed them and when they were due back.Finally, in this question, the situation might involve you getting a fine for the late books so you could ask politely for that to be cancelled due to the circumstances. Without thisinformation, the letter wouldn't help the library much in real life and, even though the question doesn't ask you specifically to include it, the examiner reading your work will be looking for such things. These are things that are needed to get a 9 for task fulfilment and, theoretically, anyone, whatever their level of English, should be able to get a good mark here.2 The Opening Greeting of the LetterYour letter will probably need to be a reasonably informal letter to a friend or a semi-formal letter. The opening of your letter should reflect which one you are writing.A friendly letter will open with Dear followed by a name which should then be followed by a comma, eg:Dear John,A semi-formal letter will also open with Dear and then be followed by a name, (if you decide that in the situation you would know the name) or by Sir (if it's a man), Madam (if it's a woman) or Sir/Madam if you don't know, eg:Dear Mr. Phillips,Dear Mrs. Phillips,Dear Sir,Dear Madam,Dear Sir/Madam,The question also might specify how you are to begin so follow what it says.3 The Opening Paragraph of the LetterIn a semi-formal letter, I feel it is important to state the reason for the letter straight away. You could use the following to help you:I am writing to ask/ tell//inform you that...I am writing to ask/inquire...I am writing with regard to...I am writing with reference to...I am writing in connection with...I am writing in response to...In reply to your letter, I am writing to... (if the question indicates that youhave had a letter)If the letter is a less formal one to a friend then you should open the letter in a friendlier way. EG:Dear John,Hi there! It's been so long since I've heard from you. I hope you are doing well and I hope all you family are doing fine. I'm pretty good in spite of working hard. Anyway, the reason I'm writing is...4 The Substance of the LetterI've already gone into detail about answering the question fully and using your imagination to produce a realistic letter fulfilling all functions so I won't repeat that. Through great experience with IELTS, I can say that questions tend to ask you to do certain things. Here I will give you some ideas about some language to use in the substance of the letter which will help you to answer the task well.Asking for HelpI would like you to...I would be grateful if you could...I need to ask your advice about...I'd like to ask for information about...What I'm looking for is...ComplainingI'm writing to express my dissatisfaction/annoyance/ about...I'm writing to express my anger at...I am not happy about...... is not what I expected/was expecting.I want to know what you are going to do about this situation.NB When complaining, don't get too angry. I've had students who really became too heated in their complaints. In a polite semi-formal letter, this should not happen. Also, do not over-exaggerate. If it's a reasonably small and understandable problem, do say that you're not satisfied but show that you understand and stay calm in your expressions.ThankingI'm very grateful for...I'd like to thank you very much for...I very much appreciated...ApologizingI'm very sorry that/about...Please forgive me for...I'd like to apologize about...Please accept my apologies5 Ending your LetterFirst of all, in English we often end letters before the sign off with certain phrases. These can be included in most letters and will make your letter seem realistic and polished. For a formal letter, you could use:If you require any further information, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thanking you in advance for your help, I look forward to hearing from you soon.For a more informal letter you could use:If you need to know anything else, just get in touch with me as soon as you can. Thanks a lot for your help and I hope to hear from you soon.Be careful though! IELTS examiners quite rightly look for writing that has been memorised and just repeated so, if you use expressions like the ones above, make sure that they fit in with the rest of your letter.Finally you'll need to sign off your letter. For a formal letter use:Yours faithfully, ORYours sincerely,Remember the commas (it makes a good impression on the examiner if you use good punctuation) and spell "sincerely" correctly (a lot of people don't!).For an informal letter, love is not always appropriate though English speakers use it a lot. Better would be to use:Regards,Yours,Best wishes,Other Hints for the IELTS General Training Task 1 WritingDON'T copy any part of the question in your answer. This is not your own work and therefore will be disregarded by the examiner and deducted from the word count. You can use individual words but be careful of using "chunks" of the question text.Don't repeat yourself or the same ideas. This gives a bad impression and the examiner realises that it isn't adding to the content of your letter.If you are weak at English grammar, try to use short sentences. This allows you to control the grammar and the meaning of your writing much more easily and contributes to a better coherence and cohesion mark. It's much easier to make things clear in a foreign language if you keep your sentences short!Think about the tenses of your verbs. If you're writing about something that happened in the past, your verbs will need to be in the past tenses. If you're arranging something in the future, you will need to use the future tenses. If it's a habitual action, you'll need the present simple tense and so on. If you have time, a quick check of your verbs at the end of the exam can help you find errors.As I just said, if you have finished the exam with time to spare, DON'T just sit there!! Check what you have done. If you have time after the check, check again. And so on....Don't be irrelevant. Although you can use your imagination to expand on your answer, if any part of your letter is totally unrelated to the question and put in to just put up the word count, then the examiner will not take it into account and deduct it from the word count.If you want to improve, there's no secret. Practice. Practice. Practice. You won't get better sitting and doing nothing. Even good English users need practice for the IELTS exam. It could make all the difference between your getting the band that you need, and getting half a band less than you need and having to do the exam again.Finally, there are no correct answers or methods. Here I've given you some ideas to guide you and hopefully to help you but the questions can be answered well in different ways. Good luck!。

剑桥雅思1-4 Writing_Task_1小作文范文
剑桥雅思1-4 Writing_Task_1小作文范文剑一--Test 3―Task1 (bar chart combined with line graph)The chart below shows the amount of money per week spent on fast foods in Britain. The graph shows the trends in consumption of fast-foods.Write a report for a university lecturer describing the information shown below.（Model answer 165 words）The chart shows that high income earners consumed considerably more fast foods than the other income groups, spending more than twice as much on hamburgers (43 pence per person per week) than on fish and chips or pizza(both under 20 pence). Average income earners also favoured hamburgers,spending 33 pence per person per week, followed by fish and chips at 24 pence,then pizzaat 11 pence. Low income earners appear to spend less than otherincome groupson fast foods, though fish and chips remains their most popularfast food, followed by hamburgers and then pizza.From the graph we can see that in 1970, fish and chips were twice as popularasburgers, pizza being at that time the least popular fast food. The consumption ofhamburgers and pizza has risen steadily over the 20 year periodto 1990 while theconsumption of fish and chips has been in decline over that same period with aslight increase in popularity since 1985.剑二-Test1-Task1（Table）The table below shows the consumer durables (telephone, refrigerator, etc.) owned in Britain from 1972 to 1983.Write a report for a university lecturer describing the information shown below.The chart shows that the percentage of British households with a range of consumer durables steadily increased between 1972 and 1983. The greatestincrease was in telephone ownership, rising from 42% in 1972 to 77% in 1983. Next camecentral heating ownership, rising from 37% of households in 1972 to 64% in 1983. The percentage of households with a refrigerator rose 21% over the same period and of those with a washing machine by 14%. Households with vacuum-cleaners, televisions and dishwashers increased by 8%, 5% and 2%, respectively. In 1983, theyear of their introduction, 18% of households had a video recorder.The significant social changes reflected in the statistics are that over the period the proportion of British houses with central heating rose from one to two thirds, and of those with a phone from under a half to over three-quarters. Together with the big increases in the ownership of washing machines and refrigerators, they are evidence of both rising living standards and the trend to lifestyles based on comfort and convenience.(173 words)剑二-Test2-Task1（Bar chart）The chart below shows the amount of leisure time enjoyed by men and women of different employment status.Write a report for a university lecturer describing the information shown below.The chart shows the number of hours of leisure enjoyed by men and women in a typical week in 1998-9, according to gender and employment status.Among those employed full-time, men on average had fifty hours to leisure, whereas women had approximately thirty-seven hours. There were no figures given for male part-time workers, but female part-time had forty hours of leisure time, only slightly more than women in full-time employment, perhaps reflecting their work inthe home.In the unemployed and retired categories, leisure time showed an increase for both sexes, as might have been expected. Here too, men enjoyed moreleisure time―over eighty hours, compared with seventy hours for women, perhaps once again reflecting the fact that women spend more time working in the home than men.Lastly, housewives enjoyed approximately fifty-four hours of leisure, on average. There were no figures given for househusbands! Overall, the chart demonstrates that in the categories for which statistics on male leisure time were available, men enjoyed at least ten hours of extra leisure time.

24年英语一考研大作文题目
24年英语一考研大作文题目24 Years of IELTS Writing Examinations: A RetrospectiveThe IELTS, or International English Language Testing System, has been a cornerstone of language proficiency assessment for the past 24 years. As a globally recognized standardized test, the IELTS has presented aspiring students, professionals, and immigrants with the challenge of demonstrating their English language abilities through a comprehensive examination. This essay will delve into the history, evolution, and significance of the IELTS, offering a retrospective analysis of its role in shaping language education and global mobility.The IELTS was first introduced in 1989 as a collaborative effort between the British Council, IDP: IELTS Australia, and Cambridge Assessment English. The primary objective was to create a reliable and consistent means of evaluating the English proficiency of non-native speakers, addressing the growing demand for a globally accepted language test. Over the past 24 years, the IELTS has become the world's most popular high-stakes English language test, with millions of test-takers annually from over 140 countries.One of the cornerstones of the IELTS's success has been its ability toadapt to the evolving needs of the global community. The test format has undergone several revisions and enhancements, ensuring that it remains relevant and accurately assesses the skills required for academic, professional, and personal pursuits. The four-part structure of the IELTS, which includes Listening, Reading, Writing, and Speaking, has been carefully designed to provide a comprehensive evaluation of an individual's language proficiency.The Listening section of the IELTS tests a candidate's ability to comprehend and respond to a variety of spoken English, ranging from formal lectures to casual conversations. The Reading section assesses the test-taker's ability to understand and analyze written texts, from academic articles to everyday materials. The Writing section requires candidates to demonstrate their skills in both academic and general writing, tackling tasks such as report writing, essay composition, and letter writing. Finally, the Speaking section evaluates the test-taker's ability to engage in spontaneous conversation, express opinions, and communicate effectively in a range of situations.The significance of the IELTS extends far beyond the confines of the test itself. It has become a pivotal factor in determining educational and professional opportunities for individuals seeking to study, work, or live in English-speaking countries. Universities, employers, and immigration authorities around the world have increasinglyrecognized the IELTS as a reliable indicator of an individual's English language proficiency, making it a crucial component of the application process.Moreover, the IELTS has had a profound impact on language education and training worldwide. The test's detailed assessment of specific language skills has prompted educators to reevaluate their teaching methods and curriculum, ensuring that students are better prepared to meet the demands of the IELTS and, more broadly, the global workplace. Many language schools and tutoring centers have incorporated IELTS preparation into their programs, helping learners develop the necessary skills and strategies to excel in the examination.The evolution of the IELTS has also been shaped by the changing landscape of global communication and technology. With the increasing prevalence of online platforms and virtual interactions, the IELTS has adapted to incorporate digital elements into the testing process. The introduction of computer-delivered IELTS in 2016 has allowed for more efficient and accessible test administration, catering to the needs of tech-savvy test-takers.Furthermore, the IELTS has played a crucial role in facilitating global mobility and cross-cultural exchange. As individuals seek opportunities to study, work, or settle in English-speaking countries,the IELTS has become a gatekeeper, ensuring that newcomers possess the necessary linguistic skills to thrive in their new environments. This has not only benefited the test-takers themselves but also the host countries, which have been able to attract and integrate highly skilled and linguistically proficient individuals into their societies.However, the IELTS is not without its critics. Some have argued that the test's format and content may be biased towards certain cultural and educational backgrounds, potentially disadvantaging test-takers from diverse linguistic and cultural contexts. Additionally, concerns have been raised about the high-stakes nature of the IELTS, which can place significant stress and pressure on test-takers, potentially affecting their performance and overall wellbeing.Despite these criticisms, the IELTS remains a highly respected and widely accepted language proficiency test. Its ability to adapt to the changing needs of the global community and its commitment to maintaining the highest standards of reliability and validity have ensured its continued relevance and prominence in the field of language assessment.In conclusion, the 24-year history of the IELTS has been marked by remarkable achievements and ongoing evolution. From its inception as a collaborative effort to address the need for a globallyrecognized language test, the IELTS has become a cornerstone of language education and global mobility. As the world continues to become increasingly interconnected, the significance of the IELTS will only continue to grow, serving as a vital bridge between individuals, institutions, and cultures, and shaping the future of language education and international communication.。

剑桥雅思1写作例文Task:You should spend about 20 minutes on this task.The graph below gives information on the age distribution of the total population of the United States.Write a report for a university lecturer to include:1. the age distribution of the total population2. the percentage of the population aged 65 and over3. changes in the age distribution between 1990 and 2010Title: Age Distribution of the Total Population of the United StatesIntroduction:The age distribution of the total population of the United States is a crucial aspect to understand the demographic profile of the country. The graph presented below offers a comprehensive overview of the agedistribution, percentage of the population aged 65 and over, as well as the changes observed between 1990 and 2010.Age Distribution of the Total Population:The graph depicts a tri-modal age distribution, with distinct peaks observed in the younger, middle-aged, and elderly age groups. The younger age group (0-14 years) accounts for approximately 20% of the total population. The middle-aged group (15-64 years) represents the largest proportion, at approximately 65% of the population. The elderly population (65 years and over) comprises about 15% of the total population. This distribution suggests a relatively stable population with a significant middle-aged workforce supporting the younger and elderly segments.Percentage of the Population Aged 65 and Over:The elderly population (aged 65 and over) comprises approximately 15% of the total US population. This figure is significant, highlighting that there is a growing segment of the population that will require specialized healthcare and social services in the coming decades. The aging population also poses challenges for pension systems and healthcare provision,emphasizing the need for proactive planning and policy measures to address these issues.Changes in the Age Distribution between 1990 and 2010:The graph also illustrates changes in the age distribution between 1990 and 2010. Overall, there is a slight increase in all age groups, indicating a stable population growth over the period. However, there are some notable shifts. The proportion of the younger age group (0-14 years) has decreased slightly, while the middle-aged group (15-64 years) has increased correspondingly. This shift suggests a demographic transition towards a more mature workforce supporting a relatively smaller base of dependent young and elderly individuals. The elderly population (65 years and over) has also increased, emphasizing the aging trend in the US population.Conclusion:In conclusion, the age distribution of the total population in the United States exhibits a tri-modal pattern, with distinct peaks in the younger, middle-aged, and elderly age groups. The elderly population comprises approximately 15% of the total population, highlighting the importance of planning for the needs of this growing segment. Between 1990and 2010, there has been a shift towards a more mature workforce supporting a relatively smaller base of dependent young and elderly individuals. These demographic trends have significant implications for policy makers and society, calling for proactive measures to address challenges posed by an aging population.。

IELTS 写作2019-2-25社会生活类作文主题Spend your free timeNowadays, a great number of new towns are being planned everyday.It is a key point to think what kind of town is the perfect for us to live. In my opinion ,I think that constructing more public parks or sports facilities are far more important than building some shopping centers.To commence with,the construction of sports can restrain people from being overweight. Moreover,there are a lot of people contracting diseases nowadays.In order to help people getting diseases,we should create more chances for people to do physical exercises.It is conducive for us to construct more facilities to help people keep healthy. Furthermore, public places such as public parks or sports places are good for people to stay together and communicate with each other so that we can create a harmony society.On the other hand, despite constructing more public places such as shopping mall can help increasing GDP and lead a fast development of economy,hardly can people get a healthy lifestyle for shopping everyday.So it is recommended that leading a positive lifestyle, constructing more and more public parks to let lots of families have time to enjoy themselves and relieve their stresses from the fast life style.All in all,I firmly support the number of public parks or sport facilities should exceed that of shopping malls, for the reason that the former benefits more people and serves a purpose in leading a healthy lifestyle for citizens.252字。

IELTS 1 test 1 writing task 1 (band 8 score)The charts below show the results of a survey of adult education. The first chart shows the reasons why adults decide to study. The pie chart shows how people think the costs of adult education should be shared. Write a report for a university lecturer, describing the information shown below.[Answer1]The bar chart shows the various reasons people cited when deciding to study in adulthood, and the pie chart indicates the results of a survey which asked people who should pay for such education.The reasons for taking up further education fall into three groups. In the first and largest, students cite interest and qualifications as reasons, each being mentioned by about 40%.The second group of reasons, cited by similar percentages of respondents, contains three reasons. Some people, 22%, feel further education will be helpful for their current jobs, others, slightly lower at 20%, feel it will increase their chances of promotion, and still others, again at 20%, simply feel they would enjoy the chance to study more.The third group contains two reasons, namely the possibility of changing jobs and the chance of making friends, being cited by 12% and 9% of students respectively.The pie chart indicates that 40% of people think the cost of adult education should be met by students themselves.A slightly smaller percentage deem that employers should foot the bill. It is intriguing, however, to note that only25% feel that taxpayers ought to pay.[Answer 2]Continuing education now is a very popular trend for many adults. So a survey for this phenomenon has been made. The results of it is showed before.The two charts show the results for a research of adult education. The reasons why adults determine to study illustrated in the bar chart. And how the costs of it should be shared showed in the pie chart.It is clear that most important reason for adults choose to study is interest. It account for 42% of all. To gain qualifications is the next largest proportion, 2% lower than the first kind. It can be noted that helpful for current job, to improve prospects of promotion, enjoying the process of learning are nearly half of the two reasons explained before. By contrast the 5 reasons above,the proportions of changing job and meeting people is much less. They only occupy 12% and 9% for each one.For the pie chart about how the costs should be divided. Individuals is the largest part which can reach up as 40%. The employer is less and make up for 35%. The taxpayer is least and only form one quarter of all.Conclusions can be got that people take part in education usually for more than one reason. These reasons can be classified into several kinds. The largest part is individual reason. Also, we can draw a conclusion that the sizes of three generations are based on the reasons people acceding education.At last, we can find that Bar chart and pie chart are good ways to show the composition and characteristics of the structure of the data. They are clear and intuitive.IELTS 1 test 1 writing task 2There are many different types of music in the world today. Why do we needmusic? Is the traditional music of a country more important than theInternational music that is heard everywhere nowadays?（BAND 9score）It is true that a rich variety of musical styles can be found around the world. Music is a vital part of all human cultures for a range of reasons, and I would argue that traditional music is more important than modern, international music.Music is something that accompanies all of us throughout our lives. As children, we are taught songs by our parents and teachers as a means of learning language, or simply as a form of enjoyment. Children delight in singing with others, and it would appear that the act of singing in a group creates a connection between participants, regardless of their age. Later in life, people’s musical preferences develop, and we come to see our favorite songs as part of our life stories. Music both expresses and arouses emotions in a way that words alone cannot. In short, it is difficult to imagine life without it.In my opinion, traditional music should be valued over the international music that has become so popular. International pop music is often catchy and fun, but it is essentially a commercial product that is marketed and sold by business people. Traditional music, by contrast, expresses the culture, customs and history of a country. Traditional styles, such as ...(example)..., connect us to the past and form part of our cultural identity. It would be a real pity if pop music became so predominant that these national styles disappeared.In conclusion, music is a necessary part of human existence, and I believe that traditional music should be given more importance than international music.IELTS 1 test 2 writing task 1The diagram below shows how the Australian Bureau of Meteorologycollects up-to-the-minute information on the weather in order to producereliable forecasts.Write a report for a university lecturer describing theinformation shownbelow.The figure illustrates the process used by the Australian Bureau of Meteorology to forecast the weather.There are four stages in the process, beginning with the collection of information about the weather. This information is then analyzed, prepared for presentation, and finally broadcast to the public.Looking at the first and second stages of the process, there are three ways of collecting weather data and three ways of analyzing it. Firstly, incoming information can be received by satellite and presented for analysis as a satellite photo. The same data can also be passed to a radar station and presented on a radar screen or synoptic chart. Secondly, incoming information may be collected directly by radar and analyzed on a radar screen or synoptic chart. Finally, drifting buoys also receive data which can be shown on a synoptic chart.At the third stage of the process, the weather broadcast is prepared on computers. Finally, it is delivered to the public on television, on the radio, or as a recorded telephone announcement.IELTS 1 test 2 writing task 2Should wealthy nations be required to share their wealth among poorernations by providing such things as food and education? Or is it theresponsibility of the governments of poorer nations to look after theircitizens themselves?The governments of the poorer nations have the responsibility to look after their citizens but they do not always have the ability to do so. This is why wealthy nations not only should but have to be required to share their wealth among the poorer nations by providing such things as food and education.As human beings we are obligated to help our kind with whatever we can. Less developed African countries such as Kenya for example have thousands of people starving and many people do not have education. It is every person's right to have education and we should not let people die from starvation. It is inhumane to leave people live like this. For this people to have enough food and a sufficient education, more aid is needed from wealthy nations.On the other hand, some people think that every government should look for its own people and should not rely on wealthier nations. It may be due to a fear that, if wealthier countries help poorer countries they will get used to being helped and won't develop themselves, but then wealthier nations could help the poor governments with ideas how to improve their people's quality of life.In conclusion, both wealthy and poor nations should do their best for their people. Let's hope that in the future there willbe more helps from wealthy countries, so all people live normally with enough food to eat, good health and sufficient education.Nowadays, developed countries are making an effort to assist developing countries through aid program. Personally, I believe,while they should keep doing this, it is also the responsibility of the government in developing countries to tackle the problem of poverty.It is the demand of morality to help other nations in need. Instead of wasting huge money on unnecessary programs such as improving the movie industry, which holds recreational purpose for the society, theycould supply food and survive the lives of people from starvation. Not only poor nations but also developed countries can benefit from investing money on educational system of developing countries. Firstly, they will be able to recognize talented people in poor nations and help them to develop their skills and make them useful people for both countries. Secondly, educated people are morelikely useful for international activities such as trade and tourism and make the world a better place for living.On the other hand, the main responsibility of tackling poverty problems goes to the government of developing countries. Since the government is the center of power and resources, they have to recognize (natural and human) resource and make a plan to overcome the problems. By hiring experts in different areas such as economists, politics politicians andother specialists, the government would be able to establish helpful long-term and short-term schemes. For example, developing sanitary facilities and improving water system as a short-term plan, and raising awareness and nurturing young generation as a long-term plan.To conclude, I hold this view that helping developing countries is a matter of moral issue for wealthy nations, and making better standard ofliving for the citizens is a task which should be done mainly by their government.IELTS 1 test 3 writing task 1 (band 8 score)The chart below shows the amount of money per week spent on fast foods in Britain. The graph shows the trends in consumption of fast foods. Write a report for a university lecturer describing the information shown below.The bar chart shows how much money was spent on fast foods per week in the UK over a span of 2 0 years from 1970 to 1990 while the graph reveals the trend of fast food consumption over the same period of time.The bar chart describes the expenditure per person per week spent on fast foods in UK while the line graph illustrates the trends in consumption of that from 1997 to 1990.As can be seen from the bar chart, expenditure on fast foods is broken down into 3 income groups—high income, average income and low income. In the high income groups, expenditure spent on hamburgers accounts for the biggest amount, reaching at just over 40 pence per person per week; while that spent on fish and chips, and pizza are nearly the same which are 17 pence and 19 pence respectively. However, the amount of money spent on hamburgers in average income category falls, reaching at around 32 pence whereas consumptions for fish and chips increases to 25 and pizza has the lowest amount only occupies 11 pence. In contrast, for the low income groups, none of these three types, however, has consumption beyond 20—hamburgers (14), fish and chips (18), and pizza (8).According to the line chart, the consumption of hamburgers saw a gradually increase from just under 100 to over 500 grams by 1990. Unlike the hamburger trend, consumption of fish and chips in general gradually fell, from 300 to 230 over the same period. In contract, pizza gradually increases gradually from 20 to 170 over the two decades, but consistently remains the least popular option.Therefore, it is clear to see from the two graphs that the popularity of hamburgers increases greatly in general over the period, and seems to be most popular in particular with higher income people.IELTS 1 test 3 writing task 2News editors decide what to broadcast on television and what to print in newspapers. What factors do you think influence these decisions? Do we become used to bad news? Would it be better if more good news was reported?It is true that editors have to make difficult decisions about which news stories theybroadcast or publish, and their choices are no doubt influenced by a variety of factors. Inmy opinion, we are exposed to too much bad news, and I would welcome a greateremphasis on good news.Editors face a range of considerations when deciding what news stories to focus on.Firstly, I imagine that they have to consider whether viewers or readers will be interestedenough to choose their television channel or their newspaper over competing providers.Secondly, news editors have a responsibility to inform the public about important eventsand issues, and they should therefore priorities stories that are in the public interest.Finally, editors are probably under some pressure from the owners who employ them. For example, a newspaper owner might have particular political views that he or she wants topromote.It seems to me that people do become accustomed to negative news. We are exposed ona daily basis to stories about war, crime, natural disasters and tragic human sufferingaround the world. I believe that such repeated exposure gradually desensitizes people,and we become more cynical about the world and more skeptical that we can do anythingto change it.I would prefer to see more positive news stories, such as reports of the work of medical staff after a natural disaster, or the kindness of volunteers who help in their communities. This kind of news might inspire us all to lead better lives.In conclusion, it must be extremely difficult for editors to choose which news stories to present, but I would like to see a more positive approach to this vital public service.IELTS 1 test 4 writing task 1 (band 8 score)Chorleywood is a village near London whose population has increased steadily since the middle of the nineteenth century. The map below shows the development of the village.Write a report for a university lecturer describing the development of the village.[Answer 1]The map shows the changes and development of Chorleywood village in Great Britain over a period of 126 years from 1868 to 1994.Chronologically, during the first 15 years from 1868 to 1883, Chorleywood was merely a very small village with one main road to its west. From 1883 to 1922, we see that the village expanded to south, almost tripled the original scale. Besides, a railway line was built across the new area from west to east and there emerged the Chorleywood Station. During 1922-1970, Chorleywood extended both eastward and westward and almost doubled the previous size. Then during 1970-1994, the village accelerated its pace of development eastward and three new areas took shape with a north-south motorway built in 1970 as the axis, with the almost paralleled east-west main road and railway as two dividing lines, cutting this new area into five parts. This new expansion was almost twice the scale of the old village. The Chorleywood Park and a golf course separated the old and new area.Thus, we see the fast expansion history of this small village across a span of over 100 years.[Answer 2]This report is aimed to describe the development of Chrolywood village between 1868 and 1994.As shown in the map, the village was occupying a very small surface on the right side of a main road between 1868 and 1883. After 1883 the village begun to expand in parallel with the main road on its right and towards south. This type of north to south development continued up to year 1922. In the course of this development stage, in 1909, a railway crossed both the village and the main road and a station was constructed.After the year 1922, Chrolywood stated to develop alongside the railway towards both east and north-west directions. This phase of expansion continued steadily up to the year 1970, when a motorway was built on the east side of the village. The motorway, as illustrated in the map, is in parallel with the old main road passing across the village.The motorway was crossing both the railway and another main road located on the north of the village. Between 1970 and 1994 the village developed, infact far from its core, around these two crossings.Nowadays, an almost considerable area at the heart of the new Chrolywood is allocated to Chrolywood Park and Golf course.IELTS 1 test 4 writing task 2The idea of having a single career is becoming an old fashioned one. Thenew fashion mil be to have several careers or ways of earning money and further education will be something that continues throughout life.[Answer 1]It is true that change is inevitable. The change is also affecting the work life. There are opinions about career, where some people think that having only one career in a lifetime is an old fashioned one. On the other hand, some people say that having more than one careers or ways to get money and advanced education will sustains throughout life. Regarding to this motion, I have some opinions to argue.Having one career in entire life is not bad at all. In the past, this thing occurred everywhere. At that time people easily find someone who was only has one career since his young age until his retirement. There were many reasons of why could this thing happened. First, there were only a little number of companies. it was different than the present time when there are much more companies everywhere. Second, the employees were only have one skill, which pushed themto stay as long as their position at the company. Moreover, it is considerably to say that now , having a single career is an old fashioned one.On the other hand, having several careers or ways of collecting money will be a new fashion. Situations today are surprisingly different than the past. Now there are much more companies all around the world. It means that there are more jobs and positions available for the employees to apply. More job vacancies mean there are more career choices for employees to choose. As the situations keep continue, people in this case the employees are not worry if they cannot survive in a company. They have many alternative offices to apply. People can see the trends that there are many jobs emerging today that we could not find a few years ago. The trends predicted by career coach will continue in several years to go.The ways how people can earn money are also increasing time by time by time for example. As the emerging of creative industry keep continue, people with any different backgrounds can get money by maximizing their passion. People can see that an anthropology bachelor provides a photography studio. In addition, further education is also will continue in the future.In my conclusion, having a several careers or ways to collect money are not a big issue anywhere. There are many evidences in present life that those are popular and become a new fashion.[Answer 2]As we are now living in a modern world, it is amazing how life gets busy and people get busier. Doing multiple jobs and having additional education for all walks of life has become the latest trend, while, people with one profession seem to be out of touch in our time. Since many people prefer to earn money by doing various jobs or take further education, regardless of their age and background, they hold the opinion that having one particular work is boring. I believe that working in one chosen career is more beneficial and rewarding.There is no denying that family, career, education and social life all together could be a case of biting off more than one can chew. Thus, having a single job will balance the time of every aspect of life as well as being more beneficial to everybody. As a result, people have more quality time to spend with family and friends, and most importantly people have more time to relax and enjoy being free from any time pressure and stress. For instance, based on my own experience, I chose to work only during weekends. So, I have enough time for myself, to communicate with my friends and of course more bonding moments with my husband and kids, which I truly love the most.In addition, mastering one particular job is more rewarding, unlike working in different jobs where confusion and exhaustion are a common dilemma. However, going back to school to pursue an additional qualification is worth doing most especially in achieving a higher position in the near future. But, unfortunately, further education is time and money consuming, most especially for people with limited resources and a young family that needs to be taken care of. Therefore, having a single career in this world which never sleeps is fruitful, because people have more opportunity to excel and to be more efficient at work. Consequently people are bound to be appreciated and rewarded. Take the case of my friend who used to be a teacher. She told me that every time she heard a success story from her former students. She felt nothing but pride because all her effort in teaching certainly paid off.In conclusion, people having a single career in the fast paced world we live in is logical because it is more rewarding and beneficial. I believe that working in one particular job should be maintained and continued in the future, so, people have a chance to enjoy the most essential parts of life, which are family, friendship and love.[Answer 3]In this modern era, there has been a plenty of career opportunities generated as a result of scientific and technological advancement. Consequently, the concept of having a single career option is going to be an outdated one. It is argued that this new trend, where people prefer to work in number of different fields, will definitely enable them to earn not only a regular income, but also empower them to excel in their area of interest.For some people, multiple career alternatives can serve as a backup in case something goes wrong with their regular job. This may be due to any reason such as job insecurity or recessionary conditions. For instance, a very good friend of mine, who is a software engineer and an avid pianist, lost his job during economic recession in 2011. He survived only because of his musical ability and today he is one of the successful musicians in the city. Thus, it is quite evident that another career would help a person earn his daily bread.On the other hand, for many people a different career could be a hobby or more than that. This is particularly they prefer to do because they love it and are passionate about it. There are many talented people with excellent academic background often engage themselves in teaching or coaching professions. For example, one of my colleagues teaches to commerce students on weekend. For him this career option is not just an extra income source, but it is his ardor to involve himself in a continuous education process.In a nutshell, there are multiple aspects of choosing more than one career option. It is anticipated that people would continue to go with this trend to earn a regular or an extra income and to accomplish their hobbies and passion.IELTS 1 General training task 1You have had a bank account for a few years.

They are used in business, hospitals, crime detection and even to fly planes. What things will they be used in the future? Is this dependence on computers a good thing or should we be more suspicious of their benefits?Today computers are used almost everywhere, it is impossible to imagine our life without PCs, Internet, mobile phones and other computer devices. It is reasonable to think that people look forward to the future of computers. In what field will be computers used for and what role will human has in this world in future?Besides, computers make our life easier, we can easily get information about any product we plan to buy or place we plan to visit in a second using a personal computer and Internet. Scientists predict that in the nearest future it will be possible to smell a new perfume using the Internet and watch 3D scenes at home like we do in the movie theater. According to forecasts of HR agencies machines will replace jobs of cashiers, and civil and military pilots. Some corporations in Japan are already sellinghousewife-robots, which help old people to keep their homes clean.Despite the fact that computers help us, they make us dependent. Apparently, people spend more time behind monitors than ever before. And some of them feel a need for more time to be spent with people in live contact. In addition, a breakdown of one of the important modules of a specific computer can entail serious consequences. Suffice to mention the computer problem that occurred in the end of 1990s, a problem related to the coming year 2000 (Y2K) and catastrophes that were predicted. Fortunately imminent disasters did not happen. However, it is difficult to imagine what could be if all the predictions came true.We live in a technological era, computers penetrated everywhere with all benefits they provide and all dangers they hide. However we are satisfied with them and sometimes we even thank them because they help us in communicating, studying, doing business, entertaining and saving lives in critical situations.。
