The unlimited use of cars may cause many problems What are those problems?
In order to reduce the problems, should we discourage people to use cars?
Having a car has become an essential part of many people’s lives It offers flexibility
to their life and work, and also provides ready access to a variety of services and leisure options However, a range of problems have been identified and need to be addressed
The problems associated with frequent cars use are becoming increasingly familiar to the general public The widespread use of cars has real environmental costs Vehicles are major sources of urban air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions It is reported that road traffic is the source of one third of all harmful air pollution in the world Car exhaust contributes to acid rain, carbon dioxide and lead, which cause global warming and damage human health Traffic jam is another problem As more and more people drive to work rather than walk, cycle or take public transport, there are heavy traffic jams almost every day at rush hours The most serious problem, however, is safety Car accidents cause huge numbers of casualties every year
To solve these problems, some people suggest that the government should impose a strict restriction on the use of cars, but I do not think this is the best option, because this would lead to reduced mobility for people and a decline in the car industry I think
a better solution would be for car manufacturers to design more environmentally friendly cars, which run on solar power or hydrogen Also, traffic problems can be alleviated by building more underground tunnels and parking garages, and safety problems can be avoided by educating drivers as well as pedestrians to use greater caution on the road
Hence, in conclusion, I think that while discouraging the car use might seem a quick solution to many problems currently facing the society, it is most unlikely to be a permanent cure

The main purpose of public libraries is to provide books, and they shouldn’t waste their limited resources and space on providing expensive hi – tech media such as computer software, videos and DVDs.
To what extent do you agree or disagree with the statement?
In a traditional sense, libraries are places with a large collection of books However, the digital age has given today’s libraries new means of storing and retrieving
information on media other than the printed pages CD – ROMs, videos and DVDs are widely used in public libraries, and they serve both the libraries and the readers
Opponents of high – tech library would argue that multimedia facilities are expensive This may be true to some extent because a DVD player is often more expensive than a bookshelf However, with immense storage capacity, these new high – tech media can actually save the most valuable resource – space A computer disc 12 cm in diameter can store a whole encyclopedia Britannica which, in printed volumes, would occupy a complete shelf section
Furthermore, magnetic and digital media can store information much longer than traditional means It takes great care to protect books from moisture, fire or human damage, and a book in a library serves readers for only a few hundred years
However, digital files, easily duplicated and restored, can perhaps last forever
Finally, visiting a library with multiple media access is much more interesting Multi –
Trang 4media resources offer readers a dynamic combination of images, sounds and videos A reader can actually hear Martin Luther King crying out “I have a dream”, or roam about the world with an interactive atlas

The three pie charts below show the changes in annual spending by a particular
UK school in 1981, 1991 and 2001.
Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.
A glance at the three given graphs reveals some differences among the expenditures per year of a British school in a period of three years: 1981, 1991, 2001 Overall, it can be seen that there are many trends that are obviously illustrated in those charts: upward, downward and both upward and downward The changes of those features can be divided into two main groups on account of their trends: single trend and couple trends group
Starting with the first group, insurance and other workers’ salaries, in 1981, the
insurance only took two percent of total, however, in twenty years later, the number experienced a considerable growth of six percent to eight percent Unlike the
insurance, the salaries of other workers witnessed a respective drop from
approximately thirty percent to a mere fifteen percent in about twenty years
Moving on to the second group, it can be seen that both teachers-salaries’ and
resources’ proportions significantly fluctuated In the first ten years of the period, the numbers rose five and ten percent to reach fifty and twenty percent, however, slipped dramatically in the next years from fifty to forty five and from twenty to a mere nine percent In contrast, furniture and equipment spending first experienced a decrease
Trang 5and then quickly climbed from five percent in 1991 to twenty percent, a growth of eighteen percent
It is interesting to note that through approximately twenty years, the total spending on different things of this UK school changed considerably
The diagrams show a structure that is used to generate electricity from wave power.
Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.
Write at least 150 words.
The given graph shows/ illustrates the structure and processes of generating electricity from the wave power As is observed from the presented illustration, the wave is used
to produce the electricity and both the tide and ebb the structure is used to rotate a turbine to produce the electricity
As can be seen from the given pictorial, the electricity producing machine works in two ways Firstly, the structure is places near a sea so that the wave water gets inside the chamber and creates an air pressure that would rotate the turbine placed inside a column The rotation of the turbine produces electricity which is stored in the cells and this electricity can be passed and used The whole structure is placed near the sea, adjacent to a cliff or sea wall
The second illustration depicts how the electricity can be produced using the ebb tide
of the sea During the ebb, the water gets off from the chamber and the air pressure is created again from the opposite direction and this rotates the turbine The rotation of the turbine produces electricity and supplies it to the storage
In summary, the electricity can be produced using a structure near the sea and both the tide and ebb tide is used to rotate the turbine to produce the electricity

The diagram shows how tea leaves are processed into five tea types
Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features and make comparisons where relevant
Write at least 150 words
-The diagram presents the manufacture of five different types of tea It is immediately apparent that although all the teas are produced from the same leaf, the differences in the manufacturing process result in five different types of tea
The first three stages of manufacture are the same for all of the five teas The leaves are grown, they are then plucked, and following this withering of the leaves occures The final stage is also the same, which sees all the leaves dried in an oven However,
in the stages in between this, differing methods of production are employed
To begin, white tea is unique as it involves no other processing In contrast, green, oolong and large leaf black tea are all rolled as part of the process However, while green tea is steamed before being rolled but is not fermented, the other two teas are first rolled and then both fermented (oolong only slightly but large leaf black
Trang 7completely) Finally, small leaf black tea is neither steamed nor rolled, but is crushed before being fully fermented

I wasn’t surprised, but I was absolutely thrilled! He had been calling all the immediate family and was quite emotional, but I couldn’t talk to my sister as she was sleeping I was teaching a class when he called me, and when he told me the news, I felt so emotional as well In fact, I felt like crying little bit, but I didn’t really want to burst into tears in front of all my students, so I stepped into the corridor and had a quite moment by myself I had to leave school quickly as I wanted to get to the

Or Facebook – that’s often how people get news these days No, I’, glad that they decided to call people and tell them because its so much more personal So, that’s the exciting news that I received, and I’ll never forget that special day
