Report:
The bar chart compares the proportion of plastic, cans, paper and glass which
was recycled by households in 1992, 1997 and 2002.
Overall, it is clear that the percentage of each category of household waste

recycled increased over the period. The proportion of glass recycled was higher
than the other three categories.
In 1992, the percentage of cans, paper and glass which households recycled was
the same, at approximately 13%. This was slightly higher than the figure for
recycled plastic in that year, which was 10%.
The following years saw a rise in the percentage of plastic recycled to 12% in
1997 and 2002. However, there was a fall in the figure for recycled cans to 11%
in 1997, followed by an increase to 20% in 2002. In contrast, the proportion of
paper and glass which households recycled increased steadily after 1992. Paper
recycling rose to 19% and then almost 30% in 1997 and 2002, respectively,
although the increase in the proportion of glass recycled was even greater, from
about 30% in 1997 to almost half in 2002.

Some people think that it is more effective for students to study in a group,
while others believe that it is better for them to study alone. Discuss both views
and give your own opinion.
Essay Plan:
 Refer to the question. Both views have good points. My opinion:

combine both methods of study for the best results.
 Paragraph 2: benefits of studying in a group (1) a chance to discuss
ideas and solve difficulties (2) class projects encourage team working
 Paragraph 3: some study can only be done individually. Reading
texts to gain knowledge, questioning the texts yourself and select facts.
Then, bring your personal understanding to discuss with others in a
group.
 Conclusion: both views have sound arguments, but I believe that the
two approaches should be combined to enable more effective learning.
Essay:
It is true that people have different opinions about the issue of whether it is better
to study alone or in a group. While both views have strong justification, I
personally think that these two approaches to studying can be combined
successfully.
On the one hand, there are two irrefutable arguments for studying in a group.
Firstly, school and university curricula these days cover a lot of ground. It may
be difficult to have a good grasp of the material, because class time is limited.
Getting together with some of your fellow students at the end of a lesson or at the
end of the day is an opportunity to discuss some of the information and the
difficulties. The group helps each member to become an autonomous learner.
Secondly, projects in class as a group encourages learners to be team players,
and this is a good preparation for the challenges of adult life and work.
On the other hand, studying alone is often essential. In terms of reading texts
or researching materials, this can only be carried out individually through sifting
information. Students learn to assimilate knowledge and to marshal facts by
critically questioning those texts to achieve a deeper understanding. Then, from
a wider perspective, students can bring their understanding to a study group for
discussion with fellow students. Although this is best achieved in face-to-face
learning, it can also be done through a virtual classroom, in the form of webinars
or class conferences, in which the teacher can also participate with the group.
In conclusion, while both views can be defended with sound arguments, the
most effective approach in my opinion is to combine self-study with studying in
a group.

Nowadays, most people try to achieve a balance between work and other
parts of their lives. Unfortunately, not many achieve this balance. What are
the problems which prevent them? Suggest some solutions.
Essay Plan:
 Introduction: refer to the task question, the problems and write that
there are solutions.
 Paragraph 2: problems – modern work (1) stressful, lots of work to
do, commuting (2) competition for promotion forces people to work
harder/longer.
 Paragraph 3: solutions – (1) take a steady job with no career
ambitions and flexible working hours (2) take up sport or do exercise:
simplify lifestyles with less consumption.
 Conclusion: agree that there are problems, but live more simply and
avoid demanding work.
Essay:
It is true that in contemporary society many people would like to balance work
with other commitments and leisure time. While this is not easy to achieve, it is
possible to overcome some of the obstacles and enjoy a more balanced lifestyle.
There are two aspects of work which make huge demands on employees today.
Firstly, the modern working environment can be extremely stressful. Even if
employees have a desk job, they may have to cope with a heavy workload,
leaving them exhausted at the end of the day. Then, time must be spent
commuting home where there is cooking to be done, cleaning and looking after
children. Secondly, the workplace is very competitive, and few people are able
to pursue a successful career. Many workers put in extra hours, to improve their
promotion opportunities and move up the career ladder.
However, there are solutions which will contribute towards a better work-life
balance. In terms of work, it may be better to have no career ambitions and,
instead, to have a steady job with supportive work colleagues. To avoid rush
hour traffic jams, flexible working hours would make commuting easier and
quicker. From the perspective of life outside work, people would then have the
time and energy to take up sport or gentle exercise. The British, for example,
love to walk their dogs. Instead of earning high salaries to spend on consumer
products, workers could earn less and enjoy simpler lifestyles, with more time for
their families or friends.
In conclusion, although it is difficult to achieve the right balance between work

and other parts of life, it is possible to do so by living more simply with less
work-related stress.

Meaning: chances to move to a more important position in a company or
organisation
Example: Perhaps the most important factor when choosing a job are the
promotion opportunities.

career
Example: Ambitious employees look for a job in which there is a chance
to move up the career ladder.
 to have no career ambitions

ladder
Example: Those who are content to do the same job and have no career
ambitions are often happier in their work and do not suffer from stress.

usually the same routine
Example: Although some people prefer to change jobs, others prefer to
have a steady job and a set daily routine at work.

would help employees to avoid rush hour traffic jams to get to or from
their place of work.

Meaning: to start doing a sport
Example: Governments should provide sports facilities to encourage
more people to take up sport.

Report:
The line graph compares the cost of 4 different types of bread in Europe over the
period 2001 to 2005.
Overall, it is clear that while the price of white bread and rye bread increased
during these years, the price of brown and wholemeal bread was relatively stable.
In 2001, the price of white bread was the lowest, at just 0.1 euros. In contrast,
rye bread was sold at approximately 0.6 euros. However, the cost of white bread
rose dramatically to a peak price of 1.2 euros one year later, before falling to
around 0.7 euros in 2003. The price then fluctuated between 0.7 and 0.5 euros
until 2005. Despite a downturn in 2003, the cost of rye bread increased in this
period to reach a peak of over 1 euro in 2005.
The price of brown and wholemeal bread was similar, at around 0.5 euros, in
2001. Although the cost of brown bread saw a modest rise of about 0.1 euros by
the end of the period, there was little change in the price of wholemeal bread.

Task 2: Some people do not go directly to college but travel or work for a short time. Do you
think this has more advantages or disadvantages FOR THEIR STUDIES ?
Essay Plan:
 Introduction: refer to the task statement. State that there are more
advantages than disadvantages.
 Paragraph 2: disadvantages. (1) Risk of dropping out. (2) Losing regular
study habits
 Paragraph 3: advantages. (1) Refreshed and ready to start study again after
taking time away from the stress of study and exams (2) Students mature
and learn to be more independent – a good preparation for university
study, which demands autonomy.
 Conclusion: there are more benefits than drawbacks.
Essay:
It is true that some students who finish high-school opt to work or travel for a period
before they start university. While I accept that there are benefits and drawbacks of this
decision in terms of their studies, I would argue that it is better to take a year out to work
or travel.
On the one hand, the option to get a job or travel straight after school is disadvantageous
to some extent. Considered only from the perspective of study, taking a break may
result in some school leavers dropping out of academic life before they have even started,
having no study or career ambitions. Even those students who do return after a period to
take up a university place may face problems. The discipline of regular study habits is
very different from the routine of a temporary job or carefree backpacking, and it could
prove difficult to recover those habits and avoid falling behind with their university
studies.
On the other hand, students who choose to work or travel for a year after high-school
usually find this an excellent preparation for the study demands of a university course.
Firstly, sitting exams at school for university entrance is exhausing and stressful. A
complete break for a short period is invaluable to return refreshed and ready for the
challenges of a university course. Secondly, by spending a year or so working or
travelling, high-school students learn to become more independent, they widen their
horizons and subsequently adapt to their university courses as more autonomous learners.
No longer studying under constant supervision, they are better prepared to rely on their
own, more mature judgment and self-discipline.
In conclusion, I believe that the advantages of enjoying a short break to work or travel
before entering university outweigh the disadvantages.

Overall, it is clear that the highest percentage of men and women worked
between 31 and 50 hours per week. A higher proportion of men than women
worked more than 30 hours weekly.
A similar percentage of men and women worked up to 10 hours, at 12% and

10%, respectively. In contrast, while about 15% of men worked between 11
and 30 hours, the proportion of women working these hours was more than
double this figure.
Although almost 40% of women worked from 31 to 50 hours, the figure for men
was higher at 47%. There were lower proportions for those working longer
hours. 20% of men worked between 51 and 70 hours, compared with 16% of
women. A small proportion, about 5%, of both genders worked over 70 hours per
week. However, the figure was again slightly higher for men than women.

Task 2: Students should live with parents rather than live away from home
when studying at university. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Essay Plan:
 Introduction: refer to the task question. Own opinion: partly

agree.
 Paragraph 2: reasons for agreement: (1) expensive – give UK
example (2) parents impose discipline, students study harder
 Paragraph 3: reasons to study away from home: (1) fewer family
distractions (2) become more involved in sports, drama, university
social life.
 Conclusion: partly agree that it is better to live at home while
studying, but there are also advantages of living away from home.
Essay:
It is true that some students choose to live with their parents while studying at
university. I partly agree with such a choice, although there are some
disadvantages.
There are a number of reasons why young people should live with their
parents when they are pursuing their studies. Firstly, it is expensive to study
full-time, and most students in the UK, for example, are forced to take out a
student loan. In the worst case, some students have to work their way through
university, and their performance inevitably suffers. Living at home means
that they do not have to pay for accommodation, and they are able to
economize. Secondly, less mature students need the discipline imposed by
parents, to ensure that they attend their classes and do not fall behind with
their studies.
Although these benefits are considerable, it must also be admitted that there
are some advantages to studying away from home. Perhaps the main one is
that students are able to escape the distractions of family life, and thereby
establish study routines and form friendships with other students who find
themselves in the same situation. Learning to live, as well as to think,
independently is one of the formative experiences of a university education.
Another aspect is that students who live away from home tend to become
more involved in the huge range of extra-curricular activities which social life
at university offers. These help to develop interests and talents, such as
sports, music or drama.
In conclusion, I would agree in part that students should live with their
parents while studying, though they will miss out on some of the richness of
university life as a result.
