Task 1 : Car ownerships in Great Britain

freeieltswritingsamples

The line graph shows variations in car ownerships measured by the percentage of households in Great Britain over a 40- year -period.

As can be clearly seen from the graph, in 1961 , a majority of 65% of households possesed no car ,over one – third (33%) of households had 1 car and no household owned 2 or more cars.

Twenty years later ,however, as the percentage of having no car had dropped by 1981 to a low of 35% , families with one car reached to its peak of 50% and those with more than two cars soard to a high of 15%  in the same period.

In 2001 , the percentage of households owning no car dipped to below the 30% mark where it met the similar figure of those with more than 2 cars.The ownership of one car, understandbly , also declined steadily to a low of 45%.

In brief, after 40 years , more and more households in this European country had at least a car and an acelerating tendency of owning more than two cars was getting popular.

Task 1 : The use of internet in five countries : Users of internet as percentage and spending online as % of the total 1,6 bil

freeieltswritingsamples

While the bar/column chart presents data about the precentage of people using the internet, the pie chart in relation compares and contrast the amount of money measured in percentage of a total sum of E 1.6 bil these people spent for online transactions in five countries in the same year 2000.

Overall, though a 5% more  people in Sweeden used the internet  than those in the UK ( 36%  and 31% ) , Britons spent much more on online shopping as 33% of the 1,6 bil came from their pockets while this number was much less dramatical (29%)  in Sweeden.

France and Germany also showed the same situation in that while the percentage of internet users in Germany (27,5%)  more dramatically overtook ( v) that in France (18,6%) , 20% of the total E 1.6 was paid by the French , German only paid a low of 13% of the total sum for online goods and services.

Spain’s situation can be easily understood as it stayed at the bottom at the two charts : the population of netizens (4.8% )  and the money spent for online shopping ( 5 %) .

As for highly- skilled type, percentage -wise , the number of male employees were twice as large as that of female ones , comprising up to 31% [,nearly doubling that of females ( 16%) .]

28% of men working in this company were skilled and,surprisingly,another the same figure 28% were  unskilled while in women  this figure was 32 % , not a big distance in skill level.

 Women ,on the contrary, dominated the semi skilled type ;29% of the female workforce fell into this category while a near half that figure ( 13%) were taken by male staff members .In brief ,more men were skillful than women in this company.

Sample 2 : Mr Gia

Among male workers , the proportions of unskilled and skilled ,surprisingly, were similar at 28% for each category , while those for females respectively comprised 23% and 32 %.

Suggested body layout: Dàn Ý Mẫu!!! Trích từ IELTS RECENT TEST

 Body 1 : Why this thinking is well – justified ( có thể thông cảm )  ( a better job should be the main goal of uni education)

-        The competitive job markets push parent to support their children finacially

ü Two facts contributing to this thinking: the sum of tuition fees  for university EDU is not small to many families.

ü The uncertanity of the job markets

BUT this does not mean higher education is all about getting a decent job.

BODY 2 Roles of Uni EDU:

ü  Develop personality of an individual and the significance of one’s life to others

o  è benefits sts not only in terms of starting a carree but what lies behind the job : morality and personal development.

§   This closely related to the development of a nation .

Conclusion : I firmly believe UNI EDU benefits Sts in a wider sphere than that of the workplace

Mở bài mẫu : 

Sample intro 1 -Mr Gia:

It is absolutely understandable that / Understandbly , the ultimate goal of nearly almost all students getting through univesity education is to be able to aquire a decent job to compenste/make up  for all the financial and physical hardships they may have to experience.I am, however, of the wider perspective claiming institutions like universities have more to offer one indvidual than a highly -desirable job.

Sample intro 2 -Mr Gia:

While an increasingly larger proportion of parents and students  hold a persuasive belief  that university education would grant them a bigger chance for a more decent job in their later working life, I personally am convinced that higher education provides students with wider benefits rather than a  promising career.

freeieltswritingsamples

Data about how much people in five different countries spent on three different categories such as food/drinks/tobacco , clothing/footwear and leisure/education as percentage of total expenditure in 2002 is compared and contrasted  by the table.

People in Turkey and Ireland spent a remarkable proportion of their total income on Food/drinks /tobacco respectively at 32,14% and 28,91%.  Their counterparts in Spain , Italy and Sweden spent much less dramatically, just around half of the figures ( 18,80% , 16,36%,15,77%) .

Clothing/footwear seemed to receive less attention as people in all the five countries spent much less on these items. Specifically , Spain , Ireland, and Turkey saw its people spending around only a minimal 6%-7% whilst Sweeden people reserved a lesser budget of only 5,4% for this , Italians seemed to be in favor of fashion , splashing out up to 9% of their total expediture in the same year.

Education, however ,witnessed a different story as it receives less priority as the other two categories. In details , most people in these five coutries spent the least, as low as only 1,98% in Spain while the highest proportion was recorded was in Turkey ( 4,35%) . On the contrary , when Italy and sweeden was exactly the same in this expenditure ( 3,20%  and 3,22% respectively) , Ireland spent only 2,21% .

The way people receive information nowadays has been greatly transformed by the Internet . Students from all walks of life have never seen themselves immersed and sunk in a wealth of information on the Internet . This,however,has brought up the question of the most effective academic envinroment whether schooling or online coaching.

Be Hieu Thao’s sample answer:

The world today is charactised by the free flow of online information and knowledge which has brought about benefits for education and human. Therefore,it becomes a heatedly debated topic whether a student should be required to attend classes or learn via the Internet. In this essay, I will examine both these view points and indicate mine.

Be Co Giao’s sample answer:

This essay will elaborate on( explain in detail)  this view and express my own stance / position/ perspective./point of view/opinion/.

Intersetingly ,the UK seemed to be  an appealing destination as most people came in and out for family reunion , up to 39% of people leaving the country would agree to that reason while another less dramatical 34% immigrating to this european country would say the same.

Surprisingly , a quite large amounts /numbers of peole were leaving this country for weather reasons ( 24%) ; in contrast, this country highly attracted  employement from other parts of the world (more than one -fourth of immigrants visiting the country)

Some similar figures for people fleeing and paying a visit to the country for financial reasons and taxation were recorded fluctuating around 9-10% while another 10% enjoyed the healthcare system of this country.

However, another dramatical number of people were moving out of the country (24%)  because of its distinct weather.

I find myself in a dilemma when the issue comes up as i am of the firm belief that money ,in most cases, mainly contributes to the success of any project or of problem solving .however,in this situation,i reckon that apart from financial support,advanced and prosporous nations may offer a hand in such other fields as education, and infrastructure.

 Counter- argument : Đoạn Phản Biện 

It is understandable as  some people content that the problem always lies at financial shortage .the fact is that most problems ranging from environment to medicine and such can be eased quickly if a proper amount of fund is exerted ( thực hiện ) adequately ( đúng đắn) . We, however, should not overlook ( xem nhẹ) the factor of human in managing and implementing(thực thi)  that fund( tiền ).again,reality (thực tế)  has shown me that financial aid ,if not managed properly and transparently( minh bạch),has failed in most cases.
