1. The map below is of the town of Garlsdon.
A new supermarket (S) is
planned for the town. The map shows two possible sites for the
supermarket.
Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and
make comparisons where relevant. Write at least 150 words.
This map shows two potential sites for constructing a new supermarket in the
city of Garlsdon.
Overall, the industrial zone appears to be larger in size compared to the
residential area.
Based on the diagram, the S1 area is situated in the northeastern part of the
town, approximately 12 kilometers from Hindon, and has a population of
around 10,000 people. It is closer to the upper residential zone compared to S2.
Although positioned between the railway and the main road, S1 is also in closer
proximity to the industrial zone.
As for the S2 location, it is situated in the central part of the town, with a
population of 65,000 and is positioned near the railway line. Although
surrounded by the industrial zone, it is located 25 kilometers from Carnsdon,
which has a population of 29,000, and 16 kilometers from Bransdon, home to
15,000 people.
2. The diagrams show a structure that is used to generate electricity
from wave power.
Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and
make comparisons where relevant. Write at least 150 words.
The diagrams depict the process of generating electricity using wave energy.
TheThe two diagrams show different processes: the first shows how energy is
used, and the second shows how the generated electricity is distributed.
Overall, the system consists of a device featuring a column, a turbine, and a
chamber, which is installed on a cliff or sea wall.
It is evident that the process of generating electricity begins with the rotation
and movement of the turbine. This motion, driven by air flow, converts kinetic
energy into electrical energy. The chamber is positioned close to the waves to
help regulate the flow of air and water.
On the other hand, the second diagram illustrates the reverse process in greater
detail, outlining the operational sequence. The entire system changes the
direction of its rotation and transfers energy back into the sea or ocean,
effectively demonstrating the overall mechanism and offering clear insight into
how it functions.
3. The diagram below shows how the Australian Bureau of Meteorology
collects up-to-the-minute information on the weather in order to
produce reliable forecasts.
Write a report for a university lecturer describing the information shown below.
Write at least 150 words.
The diagram shows the process of collecting data on weather conditions to
create accurate forecasts, as recorded every minute by the Australian Bureau of
Meteorology.
Overall, the procedure involves four main stages, starting from receiving
weather data and ending with delivering the forecast to the public.
As shown in the diagram, the initial data is gathered from multiple sources,
including satellites, radar, and drifting buoys. Information collected via radar is
displayed on both the radar screen and the synoptic chart. Similarly, data from
drifting buoys is presented in the synoptic chart. In contrast, satellite data is
visualized through satellite images as well as on the radar screen.
All the gathered and analyzed data is then entered into a computer system for
the preparation of weather reports. Once the forecasts are ready, they are
broadcast to the public via television, radio, and pre-recorded announcements.
This process happens with all other data again after completion.
4. The diagram below shows the process by which bricks are
manufactured for the building industry.
Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and
make comparisons where relevant. Write at least 150 words.
The diagram shows the process involved in the production of bricks used in the
construction industry.
Overall, the procedure includes seven main stages, beginning with clay
extraction and ending with the delivery of the finished bricks.
The process begins with a digger extracting clay from the ground. The clay then
passes through a metal grid that filters out larger chunks, while the smaller
particles are moved along by a roller. After that, sand and water are mixed with
the clay to create a paste. This mixture is shaped into bricks using one of two
methods: either by pressing it into molds or cutting it into shape with a wire
cutter.
Next, the formed bricks are placed in a drying oven for 24 to 48 hours to
remove moisture. Following this, they are placed in a kiln, first at a moderate
temperature between 200 and 980 degrees Celsius, then at a higher temperature
of up to 1300 degrees Celsius. In the final stage of the process, the bricks are
cooled for 48 to 72 hours. Once fully cooled, they are packed and prepared for
distribution.
5. The given pie charts compare the expenses in 7 different categories in
1966 and 1996 by American Citizens.
Write a report for a university lecturer describing the information below. Write
at least 150 words.
The two graphs depict data on the spending habits of people in the USA across
seven distinct categories: food, cars, petrol, restaurants, books, furniture, and
computers. The first chart shows the expenditure distribution for 1966, while
the second depicts the figures for 1996.
Overall, the share of American spending varied noticeably between the two
years.
Looking at the first chart, it is clear that the largest portion of American
spending is on cars, accounting for approximately 44%. Books and Restaurants
share the second highest expenditure, each making up 14% of the total. The data
indicates that cars, books, restaurants, and computers together represent the
majority of spending by Americans, totaling over 77% of the expenses.
However, the situation is quite different in the second chart. It
is clear that food takes the leading position, accounting for
around 45% of spending. Cars come in second, making up
nearly at 23%. Moreover, cars, food, and furniture are the top
spending categories for Americans, together reaching
approximately 73%.
6. Pie Chart + Line Graph:
The charts below show the percentage of food budget the average family
spent on restaurant meals in different years. The graph shows the number
of meals eaten in fast food restaurants and sit-down restaurants.
Write a report for a university lecturer describing the information in the graph
below. Write at least 150 words.
The provided pie chart illustrates the percentage of people who
dined at restaurants across four different years, while the line
graph displays the quantity of food served in both fast-food and
sit-down restaurants over the same period.
Overall, it is notable that the number of people preparing meals
at home decreased, while the number of meals consumed at
restaurants increased over the 30-year period.
The pie chart shows that initially, only 10% of spending was on
restaurant meals, but this figure rose sharply over time,
eventually equaling the amount spent on home-cooked meals.
The line graph reveals that both fast food and sit-down
restaurant meals started at the same level, around 20 units.
However, fast food experienced a significant rise in popularity,
reaching 85 by the year 2000. In contrast, meals from sit-down
restaurants increased more gradually, reaching approximately
50 by the same year.
7. Column Graph + Pie Chart:
The graph below shows CO2 emissions for different forms of transport in
the European Union. The Pie Chart shows the percentage of European
Union funds being spent on different forms of transport.
Write a report for a university lecturer describing the information in the graph
below. Write at least 150 words.
The line graph shows CO2 emissions produced by several types of vehicles in
the European Union, while the chart presents a comparison of EU funding
distributed to various modes of transportation.
Overall, the bar graph shows that air transport generated the most carbon
dioxide emissions, whereas the pie chart reveals that the largest share of EU
funding was directed toward road infrastructure.
Firstly, only three modes of transport contribute significantly to CO₂ emissions.
Road transport accounts for the largest portion at 52%, followed by railways at
31%. Public transportation comes next, emitting around 10% of the total CO₂.
Secondly, several other transport types produce relatively minimal emissions.
Ports and unspecified sources each contribute approximately 2%, while
intermodal transport, inland waterways, and airports all have the lowest share,
each responsible for just 1%. This distribution may be influenced by the variety
and usage levels of different transport modes within the country.
