Task 1 table
The table describes the changes of people who went for international travel in 1990,
1995, 2000 and 2005 (million). Summarise the information by selecting and
reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.
The table illustrates the number of international travellers (in millions) visiting five regions
worldwide between 1990 and 2005.
Overall, the total number of people travelling internationally increased significantly over the
period. Europe consistently remained the most popular destination by a wide margin, while all
regions experienced growth, particularly Asia and the Pacific.
In 1990, there were 448.9 million international travellers in total. Europe dominated the figures,
attracting 280.2 million visitors, far exceeding other regions. America ranked second with 80.5
million, followed by Asia and the Pacific at 60.2 million. In contrast, Africa and the Middle East
recorded much lower numbers, at 18.2 million and 9.8 million respectively.
By 2005, the total number of travellers had risen markedly to 693.7 million. Asia and the Pacific
saw the most dramatic growth, more than doubling to 135.8 million, and overtook America,
which increased more modestly to 113.2 million. Europe maintained its leading position,
reaching 400.2 million visitors. Meanwhile, Africa and the Middle East remained the least visited
regions, despite gradual increases to 28.7 million and 15.8 million respectively.
The charts provide information about students in 2007 who were happy with different
facilities at a university in the UK.
The charts show the percentage of students and parents who were satisfied with different
facilities at a university in the UK in 2007.
Overall, students were more satisfied than parents with most facilities, especially school
facilities. However, parents were more satisfied with the cafeteria. Both groups had similar
opinions about the rooms.
Looking at the rooms, about 62% of students and 63% of parents rated them as ‘very good’.
Meanwhile, around a quarter of both groups thought the rooms were ‘not good’, at 25% for
students and 23% for parents.
In terms of the cafeteria, parents were more positive, with 73% rating it as ‘very good’,
compared to only 52% of students. Also, 26% of students were not satisfied, which was much
higher than the figure for parents at 11%.
Finally, school facilities showed the biggest difference. A large majority of students (85%) rated
them as ‘very good’, while only 43% of parents agreed. In contrast, 25% of parents thought they
were ‘not good’, compared to just 1% of students.
Map
The map shows the changes to a residence hall between 2010 and the present.
Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and
make comparisons where relevant.
The two maps illustrate the changes made to a student residence hall between 2010 and the
present.
Overall, the main development was an increase in accommodation capacity, achieved by
converting existing communal spaces and modifying bedrooms. The building layout was
significantly reconfigured to provide additional study-bedrooms and enhanced facilities.
In 2010, the residence hall had three study-bedrooms, a large living room in the northern
section, and a kitchen to the east. The property also featured two separate gardens, located to
the north and south of the building.
By the present day, the former living room in the north had been converted into an additional
study-bedroom. The western study-bedroom was subdivided into two smaller bedrooms, and
the south-eastern bedroom was modified to include an ensuite bathroom, increasing the total
number of bedrooms from three to five. Externally, the south garden was replaced with a paved
parking area, and the original kitchen was expanded to create a combined kitchen and social
space.
These modifications reflect a clear shift from communal and recreational areas towards more
private accommodation and functional facilities.
The maps above show the development of the village of Ryemouth between
1995 and present.
The two maps illustrate how the village of Ryemouth has changed between 1995 and the
present day.
Overall, the area has undergone significant development, with a clear shift towards tourism.
Facilities for leisure and accommodation have increased, while those related to fishing and
agriculture have declined.
In 1995, the north-east of the village was occupied by farmland. A large public park was located
in the centre, next to a small hotel consisting of two buildings. In the north-west, there was a row
of houses along with a sports area. On the western coast, a fish market could be found, while a
café was situated in the south. Offshore, four fishing boats were visible.
At present, many changes have taken place. The farmland has been replaced by a golf course
and tennis courts. The central park has been removed to make way for holiday homes, and a
new car park has been built nearby. The fish market has been converted into a restaurant, and
the housing area in the north-west has been expanded. Additionally, a new apartment building
has been constructed near the café in the south-west. At sea, fishing boats have been replaced
by yachts, and the hotel has been enlarged to include a third building.
