Task 1: The bar charts display the results from a 2009 survey regarding people’s

automobiles in a European country. Summarise the information by selecting and


reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

Task 2: In many countries, the quality of life in large cities is becoming worse.
What do you think are the causes of this problem? What measures could be taken
to solve it?
The bar charts illustrate the percentage of people’s automobiles in a European
country.
Overall, it can be seen that the proportion of people who buy a second-hand car is
the highest. People will often change their car from the third years.
People often replace their car after five years of use and more, this figure makes up
about 50%, which dominated the time to change cars. The number of people who
choose to change their car every 3 to 4 years and every 2 years is approximately
40% and 4%, respectively. People who have no car, change every year and never
change make up a minority of percentage in this survey.

The categories of car people will buy almost second-hands, the percentage of
people who choose a second-hand car is nearly 80%. The number of new cars
chosen have a low percentage, this figure is only 22%. People who will choose
both new and old cars nearly 10%, and almost 0% of those do not buy a car.

Task 2: In many countries, the quality of life in large cities is becoming worse.
What do you think are the causes of this problem? What measures could be taken
to solve it?
In many nations, the standard of living in urban areas now is not as good as the
[Link] essay will attempt to examine the underlying reasons for this
phenomenon, and present viable solutions to cope with these issues.

The reason why some cities are becoming worse is attributable to a host of
justifications. Chief among that is the booming population will have more vehicles
release waste into the environment, this makes the cities pollution. Many people
from the countryside who need a job to earn more money, they come to big cities
to apply for a job, these changes will make the city more crowded and polluted.
Moreover, the large number of people come to the city, the cost of expenditure will
increase because of the lack of accommodation. People will spend a lot of money
to pay for electricity and water, which is necessary for daily life.

Because of these problems, the government has to create new laws and give
residents more advantages. One of these changes is about the construction of more
houses and buildings. If the number of accommodations increases, people will
have easy access to high quality buildings and safety. Moreover, the government
needs to strictly control waste and rubbish, they will fire people who throw ash in
the wrong place. This can improve the air and reduce pollution, and citizens be
more healthy when breathing in fresh air.
In conclusion, the quality of life in some large cities is usually caused by pollution
and high cost of living. To cope with these problems, I think the government will
help to improve the quality.
