1. Test 1
The plans below show the layout of the ground floor of a museum in 1990 and in
2010.
Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make
comparisons where relevant.
The two plans show that there were a number of small but important changes to the
ground floor of a museum between 1990 and 2010. The general design remained the
same, with the entrance and stairs in the same place, although the entrance was widened
and certain areas were used for different purposes.
The most noticeable alteration was the removal of the Archaeology Gallery. This was
replaced with two new areas: a poster display space and a children’s interactive zone.
The Natural History and Local History rooms stayed the same size and in the same
location, but one wall of the latter was knocked down, making it more open. The museum
office was unchanged but the reception counter was enlarged and moved closer to the
entrance. The original gift shop was expanded to include a café. The statue which in 1990
was next to the staircase was moved to the centre of the floor. A lift was added in the
space between the Gift Shop and the Natural History Room.

The charts below show the proportion of expenditure by students, on average, at
one university, in 2000 and 2010.
comparisons where relevant
The two charts show how, on average, students in one university divided their spending
across seven areas, in 2010 compared with 2000. It is noticeable that the two biggest
areas for expenditure – food and utilities – between them accounted for over half the total
outlay in both years.
However, it is also worth noting that the proportion of spending on food and drink
remained the same, at 29%, while figures for utilities rose quite significantly, from 21% to
27%. One small but significant statistic was that while eating at home accounted for the
same percentage in 2010 as in 2000, eating out made up a higher percentage, rising from
4% to 8%. Another striking change was the proportion of spending on clothing: this went
down markedly, from 16% to just 5% in 2010. Three other areas saw no or hardly any
alteration: the portion of spending on sports and cultural activities remained at 17% in
both years, spending on transport rose by 1% to 9%, while the proportion on holidays
remained exactly the same, at 5%.

The chart below shows the percentage of people accessing news via different media
in one country in 2013, 2015, and 2017.
The chart shows that there is considerable variation in the ways people accessed news
in the country in question between 2013 and 2017. The most noticeable trend was the
huge decline in the percentage of the population getting their news from printed
newspapers.
This saw a collapse from 42% in 2013 to just 22% over five years. By contrast, the
proportion using the internet for news grew from 32% to 41% in 2015 and then saw a
massive rise to 68% by 2017. Figures for radio news saw almost no change, holding
steady at approximately one third. TV news had a sizeable decline between 2013 and
2015 (79% to 67%) but this was followed by a small rise to 71% in 2017. It is noticeable
that in 2013 TV was by far the most popular medium for news access with a 35% gap
between this and the next most popular – newspapers, at 42%. In 2017, TV was still the
most used medium but a close second was the internet and the difference had narrowed
to just 3% – 71% compared to 68%.

The graph below shows information about the use of public transport in one
country by age and location of residence in 2016
Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and
make comparisons where relevant
The graph shows a clear difference in the pattern of public transport use in 2016 between
people living in large cities and other citizens, in the country in question.
The gap between the two is particularly noticeable for younger and middle-age groups,
with the highest difference for 31–45 year olds: 66% of city dwellers used public transport
compared with just 15% of people living outside large urban centres. For children the
difference was smaller but still significant, at 39% and 15% respectively. However, for the
older ages the trend changed: there was actually a lower percentage of 61–75 year olds
in large urban areas using public transport (9%) than others (18%), though for those in
the oldest age bracket the figures reversed (15% and 6%). It is noteworthy that there is a
more marked fluctuation across age groups for city dwellers: starting at 39% for the
youngest, the figure rises to 66% before dropping sharply to a low of 9%. By contrast,
figures for those living outside big cities hold fairly steady, with a high of 26% for 16–30
year olds and a low of 6% for the oldest group

The table shows how patients evaluated different services at three health centres.
Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and
make comparisons where relevant. Write at least 150 words.
The table shows that there are significant differences in patients’ perceptions of quality of
provision at the three health centres. By far the most highly rated is the Peveril Centre
with an overall mean of 8.3 and the highest scores in all service areas. The weakest
performing centre overall was Longston at just 5.8, with Marchbank between the two at
7.2. It is noticeable that one aspect – Doctors’ service – received relatively strong
evaluations in all three centres, with scores ranging from 8 to 8.7. Pharmacy received the
poorest ratings of the services in all the centres: at 5.1, 6.3 and 5.8 at Longston, Peveril
and Marchbank respectively. Regarding the other aspects of provision, there is
considerable variation. Perhaps the most striking differential in ratings is in Response to
concerns, which for Peveril is the highest scoring of all the aspects, at 9.6. This compares
with 6.5 for this area at Marchbank and just 4.3 at Longston. Ratings for Care of children
are moderate in all three centres, though they are significantly lower for Longston than
for the other two: 6.3, compared to 7.5 at Peveril and 7.3 at Marchbank.

The diagram below shows how honey is made in small-scale commercial production.
Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make
The diagram shows that there are two major phases to the commercial production of
honey: by bees and by human intervention. The process starts when nectar is gathered
by forager bees from flowers. This is carried back to the hive, where it is deposited in wax
cells as honey, which at this stage is very runny. Worker bees then fan their wings to dry
it, thereby making it thicker. Each cell is then sealed with wax to keep the substance
clean; the cells form the honeycombs, which are gathered and taken to the factory. There
they are pressed to release the honey, which is poured into the top container of three, the
sump tank, where it is heated to 45–50°C. This makes it thin enough to flow by gravity to
the next tank, where it is sieved to remove impurities. It then runs down to the last
container, the settling tank, where it sits for two to four days before being drained out into
jars. The jars are then labelled and transported to the place of sale.

The bar chart below gives information about the percentage of the population living
in urban areas in different parts of the world.
Write at least 150 words.
This bar chart compares the growth in the percentage of the population living in urban
areas in six different regions of the world.
According to the chart, between 1950 and 2007 the percentage of the population living in
cities in Latin America and the Caribbean almost doubled from 42% to 76%, whereas in
Europe it only increased by 21%. However, in Europe over half the people already lived
in cities in 1950.
When we compare the projected increases in Asia and Europe by 2050 we see that in
Asia the percentage will continue to grow at the same speed, with a further increase of
25%, whereas in Europe the change will be even slower than before, increasing by only
12%. By 2050, the vast majority (around 90%) of people in Latin America, the Caribbean
and North America will live in cities. Even in Africa, more than half the population (62%)
will live in urban areas by then.
8. Test 2
The table below gives information about student enrolments at Bristol University in
1928, 1958, and 2008.
In the table we can see information about the numbers of students enrolling at Bristol
University in the three years, 1928, 1958 and 2008. It compares the percentage of
females and males, and also students from abroad and those from within 30 miles of the
city.
The most noticeable changes concern the overall growth of student numbers, from 218
in 1928 to 6,377 in 2008, and the proportions of local students, who constituted 50% of
the total in 1928, but only 1-2% in 2008.
It is surprising to note that the percentage of female enrolments did not rise steadily, but
dropped between 1928 and 1958. However, at the same time, the percentage of the
student population who came from abroad remained almost unchanged between 1928
and 1958, being 5% and 6% respectively, but rose markedly after that, so that by 2008
foreign students represented 28% of the total.

The graph below gives information about international tourist arrivals in different
parts of the world.
The graph shows the overall numbers of tourist arrivals in five parts of the world between
1990 and 2005. In 1990 over 70 million tourists visited North America, more than twice
as many as the next most popular destination shown, Central and Eastern Europe.
However, between 2000 and 2005 there was a decrease of approximately 1,500,000 in
the numbers going to North America whereas there was an increase of nearly 20 million
tourists visiting Central and Eastern Europe. The result was that in 2005 the number of
tourists arriving in North America and Central and Eastern Europe was almost equal at
around 90 million each. The number of tourists visiting South-East Asia rose steadily over
the whole period but by 2005 the total was still under 50 million. The regions with the
fewest tourist arrivals were South America and Sub-Saharan Africa. The number of
tourists going there was similar between 1990 and 1995 but after that there was a greater
increase in tourists going to Sub-Saharan Africa than to South America.

The graph below gives information about how much people in the United States and
the United Kingdom spend on petrol.
The graph compares the percentage of their income which people in the UK and USA
spend on petrol. From the data, we can see two clear differences.
Firstly, the difference between the poorest 10% and the richest 10% is greater in the UK
than in the USA. In the former, the poorest spend less than 0.5% of their income on petrol:
suggesting that they do not use cars very much, and the richest spend around 3%. By
contrast, in the US, the poorest spend around 4-5% while the richest spend between 2
and 3%. This suggests that virtually everyone in the USA uses a car sometimes.
Secondly, in the USA it is also noticeable that the percentage of income spent by the poor
can be twice that spent by the rich. However, in the UK, the percentage spent rises quite
steeply for the poorer members of the population but then remains almost constant apart
from the very richest, when it falls again. In both countries people on middle incomes
spend about the same percentage. Overall, the percentage of income spent on fuel
generally gets higher in the UK, the more you earn, whereas it decreases in the US.
11. Test 5
The diagrams below give information about the manufacture of frozen fish pies.
This diagram shows that there are a number of processes involved in the commercial
production of frozen fish pies. The main ingredients consist of fresh salmon, peas and
sauce, with sliced potatoes, and they are prepared separately. The potatoes, which may
have been delivered up to a month in advance, are cleaned, peeled and cut into slices.
The slices are boiled and then chilled before being stored until needed. The preparation
of the fish is more labour intensive than the preparation of the potatoes. Within twelve
hours of being delivered to the factory, the fresh fish is cooked by being steamed with
lemon juice and salt. Then the skin and bones are removed by hand and disposed of,
before a visual inspection takes place.
After this, the pies are assembled in microwaveable containers. Peas and sauce, which
have also been prepared, are added to the fish and then the pie is covered with a layer
of cooked potato slices. The pies are then wrapped and frozen. At this point they are
ready for dispatch, or they may be stored at the factory before being dispatched

The charts below give information about weather in two Brazilian cities.
These charts give information about the rainfall and temperatures for the cities of Brasilia
and Recife, with additional data about hours of sunshine and days with thunder.
Although temperatures in Brasilia can be quite extreme, from just above freezing to 37 oC,
the average daily temperatures in Recife are not so variable. In Brasilia the range can be
as great as 15 degrees, but in Recife average daily temperatures generally vary from
22oC to 31oC throughout the year.
The most noticeable contrast is in the rainfall. Brasilia is wettest from September to May,
with only two or three wet days in June, July and August. During the wet months, there is
thunder on approximately half the days. By contrast, Recife has at least ten wet days,
even its driest season, which lasts from October to January. From April to August there
is rain on over twenty days per month. However, thunder is less common there, with a
maximum of three thundery days in April.

to charity by age range for the years 1990 and 2010.
Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features and make
The chart examines the levels of donation among people of different ages in Britain.
Overall, a greater percentage of British people gave money to charity in 1990 than in
2010. However, across the two years, the pattern differs before and after the age of 50.
In 1990, 42% of the 36-50 age-group made charitable donations, and this figure is the
highest on the chart. The 18-25s contributed the least at only 17%. By 2010, these figures
had fallen significantly to 35% and 7% respectively. The level of donations from the 26-
35 age-group also experienced a decrease in 2010 from 31% to 24%.
While donations up to the age of 50 declined across the two years, they rose among the
51-65 age-group from 35% to nearly 40%, which was the highest percentage for 2010.
The figure for the over 65s was lower than this, at 35%, but it was still a little higher than
the 1990 figure of 32%.

Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features and make
The data provides information on average temperatures and annual hours of sunshine in
London, New York and Sydney.
The temperature patterns for London and New York are similar, although New York has
warmer summers and colder winters. In both cities, peaks occur in July/August, at 23 0 in
London and 290 in New York. In contrast, Sydney's hottest weather is in
December/January when temperatures average 250 . During this period, New York's
temperatures dip to an average of around 5 0, compared with 80 in London. On the other
hand, Sydney's lowest average temperatures in July are just over 15 0.
As far as hours of sunshine are concerned, New York and Sydney have similar
averages of 2,535 and 2,473 hours respectively. London, however, has a much
lower average of 1,180 hours.
Clearly, London is the coldest city and has the fewest hours of sunshine. New York
has the hottest summers, but Sydney enjoys the warmest overall climate.

The diagrams below show the changes that have taken place at West Park Secondary
School since its construction in 1950.
The diagrams show West Park School at three different stages in its development: 1950,
1980 and 2010.
In 1950, the school was built close to a main road and next to a number of houses. A
large area behind the school was turned into a playground, while the area behind the
houses was farmland.
By 1980, the houses had been demolished in order to make way for a small car park and
an additional school building, which became the science block. In addition to the existing
playground, the school also gained the farmland and converted it into a sports field.
In 2010, the school building remained unchanged but the car park was extended to cover
the entire sports field. As a result of this, the original playground was divided into two so
that it provided a smaller playground and a small sports field.
During this period, the school has increased in size and a car park has been created and
enlarged. The combined recreational areas, however, first expanded and were then
reduced in size.

The chart below gives information about Southland's main exports in 2000, *20..,
and future projections for 2025.
This bar chart illustrates the performance of Southland's primary exports in 2000 and
2013. It also indicates future projections for 2025. According to the data, it seems likely
that international tourism will become the dominant industry, although dairy exports will
remain strong. In 2000, we can see that tourism was the greatest exports earner of the
three industries. with revenue standing at just over £8 billion. This figure has increased
slightly, so that now , in 2013, it has reached almost £9 billion. It is estimated that
international tourism will continue to grow, so that by 2025, it will be earning around £10
billion for the country. In 2000, dairy exports were worth around £7 billion, but since then
there has been a dramatic increase, and sales for this year are approximately £10 billion.
Experts are predicting that exports in this area may fall slightly, so a figure of £9.5 billion
is expected for 2025. Meat products are the third key industry in Southland, but sales have
dropped since 2000 and now stand at £5.5 billion. It is expected that sales will continue to
decrease in the future.

The pie charts below show the online shopping sales for retail sectors in New
Zealand in 2003 and 2013.
The two pie charts compare the percentages of online sales across different retail sectors
in New Zealand in the years 2003 and 2013. For three of the sectors, it is evident that over
this time frame there was significant change in their proportion of online transactions.
At 36% we can see that the travel sector accounted for the majority of online sales in 2003,
but this percentage had dropped to 29% by 2013. Across the same ten-year period, as an
increasing number of people chose to purchase films and music online. we can see that
transactions went from just 21% to 33%, making it the retail sector with the highest overall
share of the online market.
In 2003, the clothing industry boasted an impressive 24% of total online sales in New
Zealand. However, by 2013, the figure had fallen considerably to 16%. Interestingly, online
sales of books eventually overtook sales of clothes, although books still represented only
22% of the market.

The chart below shows the changes that took place in three different areas of crime in
Newport city centre from 2003-2012.
This graph illustrates how crime rates altered in Newport inner city during the period 2003-
2012. We can see immediately that the greatest change occurred in the number of
burglaries, while incidents of theft remained low but steady.
In 2003, we can see that burglary was the most common crime, with approximately 3,400
reported cases. The figure rose to around 3,700 in 2004, but then there was a downward
trend until 2008. At this point the figure stood at just over 1,000 incidents. This rose slightly
in 2009, then continued to fluctuate for the remaining period.
In 2003, the number of cars being stolen stood at around 2,800 and followed a similar
trend to burglary until 2006. At this point the number rose, standing at around 2,200 in
2007. There was a marginal decrease in the following year, but from then on, the trend
was generally upwards.
Finally, robbery has always been a fairly minor problem for Newport. The number of
offences committed changed little over nine years. It is interesting to note that the figure
of approximately 700 in 2003 is the same figure for 2012.

The chart below shows the annual number of rentals and sales (in various formats)
of films from a particular store between 2002 and 2011.
The number of rentals and sales in various formats of films, between 2002 and 2011 in a
particular store has changed a lot. Sometimes it has been very low and sometimes very
high. The number of rental since 2002 has been decreasing every year. Comparing the
number of rentals in 2002 with 2011, it's possible noticing that in 2002 it was about
180,000 rentals against aproximadly 55,000 in 2011. In regarding the number of VHS
sales, comparing the period between 2002 and 2005, it has happened as well. In 2002
the number of VHS sales was about 85,000 sales, against 65,000 in 2003, 40,000 in 2004
and about 10,000 sales in 2005. After that time, this store stopped to sale VHS. By another
side, the number of DVD sales growed up between 2002 and 2007, from aproximadly
45,000 in 2002, more than 100,000 in 2003, to more than 200,000 in 2007. However,
since 2008, it has been going down slightly. In 2011 this number was less than 180,000.
The number of Blu-Ray sales has started since 2007 and it has growing up slowly. In
2007 it was nowhere near as significant as DVD sales but I guess it will grow up drastically
in a few years. Actually the number of DVD sales is still very higher than another products
in that place.

The graph below shows the number of university graduates in Canada from 1992 to
2007.
Graduate numbers rose during the 15 years and reached their highest levels in 2007, but
there were always more female than male graduates. In 1992, the difference was less
marked, with just over 70,000 males and about 100,000 females. However, by 2007 there
had been more significant growth in female numbers. That year, they rose to 147,000,
compared to just 95,000 males. Thus the gap between the number of male and female
graduates had widened.
A more detailed look at the graph reveals that the overall growth in numbers was not
always steady. Between 1992 and 1995, there was a slight increase. That was followed
by a period of about five years, when numbers fell, then flattened out at just over 70,000
for men and 100,000 for women. After 2000, however, graduate numbers saw their
strongest growth rate, and this was well above the increases that had been seen in the
early 1990s.
Clearly, there were similar trends for male and female graduates over this period, but the
number of women graduating increased at a higher rate than the number of men.

The graph below shows the percentage change in the number of international
students graduating from universities in different Canadian provinces between 2001
and 2006.
The chart compares the changes that took place between 2001 and 2006 in relation to
the percentage of overseas students who graduated from universities in Canada. In 2001,
the proportion of students from other countries who graduated in Canada ranged from
three percent in Ontario to seven percent in New Brunswick. Nova Scotia had the second
highest percentage at 6.5. Five years later, the figures for most provinces had risen by
two to three percent, with the exception of Alberta. There, figures fell by one percent to
just over four percent.
A closer look at the chart reveals that significant growth occurred in New Brunswick, where
the figures rose from seven to just under 12 percent. However, the biggest increase took
place in British Columbia, where the percentage of graduates more than doubled, almost
reaching almost 11 percent in 2006.
Over this five-year period, some parts of Canada experienced a considerable increase in
their proportion of overseas graduates, although New Brunswick remained the province
with the highest percentage overall.

The chart and table below give information about population figures in Japan.
The table and chart provide information regarding population growth and the proportion of
the population over 65 over a 100-year period in Japan.
According to the information, Japan's general population figures in 1950 were very
different from those in 2005, and future predictions show even greater differences. In
1950, the number of people was just over 84 million, and only 4.9 percent (4.1 million) of
these people were above the age of 65. By 2005, the percentage of older people had risen
considerably to 20 percent while the overall population had shown a parallel increase to
nearly 128 million.
However, total population figures peaked in 2005, and it is expected that the number of
people in Japan will fall substantially over the next 50 years to a little below 90 million. In
spite of this fail, the rise in the ageing population will continue, and at a faster rate, so that
by 2055, 41 percent (36.5 million) of Japanese people will be over 05.
These statistics show two contrasting trends in Japan’s demographics that will result in
fewer citizens. but greater numbers of elderly people.

The chart and table below give information about healthcare resources and life expectancy in different
countries. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features and make
The chart and table reveal some significant differences between the countries, with regard to health and
medical care.
Looking at the chart, it can be seen that Japan provides by far the highest number of hospital beds, at 14
per thousand of the population. The second highest allocation is 8 per thousand in Germany, but this is little
more than half the Japanese figure. On the other hand, the US, Spain, Canada and the UK provide the
lowest numbers of hospital beds, at around 3 per thousand people. Dutch and Australian figures are only
very slightly higher than this.
The table takes a closer look at funding and life expectancy in three of these countries. Although Japan has
a much better life expectancy figure (83 years) than the other two countries, its government spends
considerably less money on healthcare, contributing just $2,581 per person. In contrast, the US government
allocates well over twice that amount, yet its citizens have a life expectancy of only 78 years. Meanwhile,
Dutch people can expect to live to be 80, and the government spends $3,481 on each citizen.
Although the Japanese government contributes much less money to healthcare. There are far more beds
available for patients, and people can expect to live longer there than in some other countries.

The diagram below illustrates how fossils were exposed beneath a cliff as a result of
coastal erosion .
The diagram shows the changes that took place in a cliff face as a result of coastal
erosion, and how this led to the discovery of fossils.
At one time, the cliff stood much further out and, at low tide, the sea water did not touch
the base of the rock.
Conversely, at high tide, the waves sometimes reached halfway up the cliff wall, beating
on it with some force. Eventually, the power of these waves loosened and wore away the
rock. This meant that stones and boulders fell into the sea, and the cliff slowly retreated.
exposing previously buried rock at low tide.
As the waves hit the lower part of the cliff more frequently, this area eroded more quickly
and became a hollow in the cliff wall where fossils could be found. Meanwhile, the
overhanging cliff at the top cracked, creating a dangerous area beneath it.
Clearly, the fossils would have remained buried and the coastline unchanged if it had not
been for the action of the se
The four pictures illustrate the changes that can take place in the appearance of a
headland as a result of coastal erosion.
A headland is a cliff or large rock that extends into the sea. Initially, it is solid, but over
time, the movement of the sea water can wear away a weak part at the base of the rock,
to form a small hollow or cave. At high tide, the water may reach half-way up the headland
and gradually the motion of the waves can widen the cave, turning it into an arch. Durdle
Door in Dorset is an example of this type of erosion.
As the water continually beats against the arch, it can weaken the top part, which
eventually collapses, leaving an isolated piece of rock called a 'stack'. Over time, the stack
also wears away to form a 'stump'. Meanwhile, more caves may develop along the base
of the headland, and additional arches and stacks can be created.
The diagrams clearly show how the continual process of erosion, with the formation of
caves, arches and stumps of rock, contributes to the eventual withdrawal of a headland.

The charts below give information about endangered plants around the world .
The charts provide information on the proportion of plant species that are at risk, the levels
of risk and the different environments in which these plants grow. Although a lot of plants
are safe, about a third of all plant species around the world are under some kind of threat.
For just over 10 percent of these species, the threat is severe, with 3.92 percent of plants
likely to become extinct and over 25 percent being vulnerable to extinction.
When you look at plant habitats, the area with the greatest proportion of threatened
species is tropical rainforest, where 63 percent of species are threatened. In contrast,
desert areas have the lowest proportion of vulnerable plants at percent. Forest grassland
and wetland areas are also home to threatened species. However, the danger is on a
much smaller scale than in the tropics, with figures ranging between 12 and one percent.
To conclude, tropical areas of the world have more endangered plant species than others,
and certain plants need immediate protection.
The graph and chart below give information about species extinctions and the threats
to plant life.
The data provide information about species extinctions in tropical forests and the reasons
why plants become extinct Looking at the graph first. It can be seen that approximately
4.000 in every million species had become extinct by 2000. This figure is predicted to rise
significantly until 2060, when it will hit a peak at 50,000 and then fall, though less steeply.
to 28,000 per million in the year 2100.
The chart takes a close look at the impact of different types of activity on plant survival.
Clearly. over three-quarters of extinctions are caused by human activity. and more than
half of this is related in some way to farming. Other activities, such as logging (9.7
percent) and development (10.4 percent), also pose threats.
Natural events, on the other hand. have a much smaller effect on the lives of plants.
Natural disasters, such as tropical storms. account for 7 percent of extinctions, while other
natural influences cause a further 11.7 percent.
To sum up, extinctions in tropical regions will get much worse before they eventually fall.
Meanwhile. human beings are likely to be responsible for the greater part of these.

The chart below gives information about the ageing population worldwide in 2000 and
makes predictions for 2050.
The graph shows how the size and distribution of the world’s ageing population is likely to
change over a 50-year period.
Overall, the proportions around the world are predicted to rise significantly. In 2000. just
under ten percent of the world's population was over 60. but by 2050. this will more than
double to approximately 22 percent.
A closer look at the data reveals that the ageing population is expected to rise more in
some parts of the world than in others. In 2000. Europe had the largest group of ageing
citizens, at 20 percent of its population. The second-largest group could be found in North
America and the third in Oceania. while only 5 percent of Africa's population was in this
category. By 2050. Europe is still going to have by far the greatest percentage of over
60s. with figures likely to reach 35 percent. However. the biggest increases in this age
group. relative to the rest of the population. are predicted to occur in Asia. Latin America
and Africa. In Asia and Latin America, for example. figures will increase almost threefold
to between 20 and 25 percent: in Africa. they will more than double.
Although Europe will maintain its lead in terms of its proportion of elderly citizens, the rate
of increase in other parts of the world by 2050 Will be much more significant.
The table and charts below provide information about the destinations and
employment of UK first degree holders.
The table and charts show the study and employment choices of UK graduates over a four-year
period and the annual salaries of the 2009/10 group in full-time employment.
According to the table, the pattern in graduate destinations altered very little over this period. The largest
category comprising approximately two-thirds of graduates, found full-time jobs, while 7-9 percent opted
for a mix of work and further study. Approximately twice this number continued their studies, while the
percentage of graduates not working ranged from 11-15 percent. Among those 2009/10 graduates who
were employed in the UK, the majority were earning between L15,000 and L25,OOO per year. Female
graduates in the C20.OOO-L25,OOO salary band formed the largest group at 32 percent, and a higher
percentage of women than men were employed at lower salary levels. However, 14 percent of male
graduates earned L25,000 - L30,000 a year compared with only 10 percent of females. and this trend
continued as salaries rose.
In summary, many first-degree holders secured jobs after graduation. However, women graduates tended
to earn less, on average, than their male counterparts.

The graph shows the impact of vaccinations on the incidence of whooping cough, a
childhood illness, between 1940 and 1990 in Britain .
Summanse the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make
The graph shows the changing number of cases of whooping cough in Britain from 1940
to 1990. and how the introduction and use of a vaccine for the disease affected the pattern.
Clearly, there was a direct link between the administration of the vaccine and the number
of cases of whooping cough among children during this period in history.
Overall, the number of cases fell from a high of 170,000 to almost zero. However, there
were significant fluctuations in the trend. For example, just after 1940, there was a surge
in the number of cases from 50,000 to approximately 170.000. Although the figure fell
back in the next few years, it peaked again in the early 1950s and fluctuated considerably
until the introduction of a vaccination in the late 1950s.
Following this, the number of cases dropped sharply to well below 20.000 in the mid-
1970s, until a sudden fall in vaccinations, from 81 percent to 30 percent, resulted in a
parallel rise in the incidence of the illness. Figures then went up again to 60,000 around
1980, but gradually fell back to their earlier level as vaccinations were resumed. By 1990,
94 percent of children were being vaccinated against whooping cough, and there were
few, if any, cases.
The diagram shows the stages in the cultivation and management of a forest.
The diagram illustrates the stages in the creation of a man-made forest and the various uses of the wood that is produced.
Before planting can take place, the land must be cleared and prepared. Heavy machinery is used to turn over the soil and ensure that
it is ready for young trees. Once this has been done, saplings that have grown in a nursery are taken to the area and planted individually.
Over time, the young trees start to grow. As they reach a certain height, they are pruned by hand and the forest is thinned. Trees
that have been cut down at this stage are used for firewood or to create posts for fences.
The remaining trees gradually reach maturity and are not removed until they are required for wood products. When this happens,
individual trees are felled using electrical saws, and prepared for transport on site. The trunks are transported by lorry either to the
pulp mill, where they are turned into paper or cardboard, or to the sawmill, where they are dried and cut into planks, to be used for
floorboards and furniture. Meanwhile, the feared forest ground is prepared for the planting of new saplings.
Clearly, the agricultural process required to use wood-based products consists of a number of well-defined stages that allow rest trees
to reach a certain age before they are cut down and new forests are planted.

The graph and chart below give information about 3D cinema screens and film
releases.
The graph shows the rapidly growing number of 3D cinema screens around the world,
while the chart provides information on two types of film that are released in 3D, and
shows how their relative numbers have changed over time.
Clearly, the global increase in 3D screens has been significant. In 2005, there were none,
and initially the increase in numbers was minimal. However, between 2008 and 2011,
there was a steep rise to just over 35,000 screens, after which numbers seemed to flatten
out a little.
The chart shows a similar pattern in terms of 3D film releases. Very few animated films
and no live-action films existed in this format up to 2002 In 2008, live action and animated
films were released in equally small numbers. However, between 2009 and 2012, the
combined number of these films increased dramatically to about 75. In addition, the
number of live-action films grew faster, so that by this date there were twice as many live-
action films as animations.
To summarise, there has evidently been significant growth in 3D cinema, with the number
of live-action 3D films outstripping that of animations by the end of the period covered in
the data.
