Task 1
The plans below show a school library five years ago and the same library now
‘booking shelves’ is incorrect ‘Bookshelves’ is correct This is taken
from a ‘read-only file’, so I was unable to change the words in the plans
Trang 4• Paragraph 4: compare (1) office>conference room (2)
classroom>recording studio (3) borrowing and returning now
separated (4) meeting room the same
shared studying tables
Five years ago, four large studying tables occupied the centre of the library, but now 36 individual study tables, arranged in 6 groups, now take up this space The bookshelves shown at the top of the old plan still remain today However, the bookshelves at the bottom of the library plan five years ago have been replaced by desks for students’ laptops There are also extra desks for students’ laptops today, in the place formerly occupied by
computer desks
The library office of five years ago is now a conference room There have also been changes on the left side of the plans Today, a recording studio has replaced a classroom and, while the borrowing and returning areas have been retained, they are now separated The meeting room between these areas, however, is still in the same place

Trang 5• Introduction: agree that mobile phones are used all the time for
business and social calls The positive effects outweigh the negative effects
• Paragraph 2: negative effects (1) inconsiderate use disturbs others – examples: train journeys, concerts
• Paragraph 3: positive effects (1) business – improved efficiency in production, transportation and sales, because of rapid transactions – boosts the whole economy – society benefits (2) personal calls – keep in touch with family and friends anytime, for important things
or just for a chat – individuals benefit
• Conclusion: there are negative aspects, but there are more positive ones
Essay:
It is true that mobile phones are now used all the time for business and social purposes While there are some negative impacts on both
individuals and society as a whole, I would argue that these are outweighed
by the positive effects
There is one major negative aspect of the way in which mobile phones are
often used In order to live in harmony with one another in society,
people must show consideration for others, especially in public places
Personally, for example, I do not consider that using a mobile phone to make small talk in a loud voice is socially acceptable While some
people may have a laid-backattitudeto such discourteous behaviour, I
have frequently argued with fellow passengers on buses or trains who chat
Trang 6endlessly at the top of their voices on their phones, oblivious to all around them Fortunately, codes of conduct are strictly enforced in cinemas,
theatres and concert halls, where mobile phones must be switched off
However, most people would say that their mobile phone enables them to
do so many things which improve their lifestyle Entrepreneurs argue that it is easier to conduct their business outside the office if customers or
employees can contact them instantly, for example to place an order or to arrive at a quick decision With the rapid transactions made possible by mobile phones, the improved efficiency of production, transportation and
sales boosts the whole economy Fewer firms go out of business and
everyone is able to earn a living Individuals also benefit, taking into accountthe ease with which they can contact friends and family, whether
for important matters or just for a chat
In conclusion, I believe that mobile phones have had huge positive impacts
on society, despite their inconsiderate use by a minority

Report:
The maps illustrate the growth of an area from 1965 to the present
Overall, it is clear that more housing has been built and a road bridge now links the area to the city, replacing a ferry to cross the river
In 1965, there were only a few houses to the east of the river Today,
however, many more houses and apartments have been constructed,
expanding the original housing site along the riverside To the south of the new road bridge, some more houses have been added
Replacing the winding road and ferry, a straight road bridge now crosses the river To the west of the river, trees have been cut down to make way for a large riverside car park To the east, a smaller car park is now sited at the end of the old road in the middle of the housing
Further developments are planned for 2018, providing a footbridge just south of the road bridge, and another car parking area next to a yacht

High school students are usually not good at managing money What are
the reasons? What are the solutions?
Essay Plan:
• Introduction: agree with the statement Two main reasons, but
solutions are possible
• Paragraph 2: reason (1) adolescents rebel and ignore parental advice (2) the media encourages consumption by this age group
• Paragraph 3: parents should teach children from an early age to manage money; governments must control advertising aimed at this age group
• Conclusion: these two major factors can be controlled by parents and the government
Essay:
It is true that high school students are not renowned for their skills in
managing their own finances Two factors stand out as being responsible
for this failing, but there are steps which can be taken to remedy the
problem
High school students are often incapable of managing money for two main
reasons The first is family background During their formative years, children of high school age are often rebellious, asserting their
independence as they prepare to enter adult life They may say that
parents are being overprotective when giving advice about money
matters Secondly, adolescents are very impressionable They are easily swayed by advertisements, and the media skilfully employs market
research to persuade teenage consumers to buy particular goods
Trang 11impulsively So, regardless of the cost, high school students sometimes
borrow on credit to spend on ‘must have’ items, such as designer label clothes or the latest i-Pod
There are measures which parents and the authoritiesshould take to deal with this issue From an early age, parents ought to bring up their children
to make the most of their pocket money Parents must encourage
patterns of behaviourin which youngsters learn to use money wisely and not to squander their savingsin order to keep up with their peers in
school Government, as well as parental involvement, also has a role to
play Controls must be placed on how the media operates, particularly in
the booming field of online advertising.Celebrity endorsement should be
banned, as young people of high school age are vulnerable to the
association of certain products with glamour and success
In conclusion, persuading high school students to manage their money wisely is not an easy task for the reasons explained, but parents and
government can implement some common-sense solutions
