(KEYS) WRITING GUIDE 4: TASK 1

Exercise 1:
a. 2000 and 2005
b. four
c. China in both years
d. 2000 – Brazil, 2005 – Japan
e. Chinese student numbers dropped significantly, and overall, student numbers
dropped slightly.

Exercise 4:
Most students who attend university or other tertiary institutions come from the
local area. However, some of them are international students, who come from a
variety of home countries. A significant/considerable percentage of overseas
students are Chinese, but there is also a significant/considerable number who
come from India, Japan, and Brazil. Over the last five years, the overall number of
Indian students has remained relatively unchanged, but the number of Chinese
students has dropped, while Brazilian student numbers have increased fourfold in
that period. In general, enrolments have dropped over this period for both
domestic and international students.
Exercise 5:
a. In general, the number of sheep increased and, in particular, in 1990.
b. Overall, the price of grain stayed unchanged and, in particular, corn and wheat
prices stayed stable from 2000 to 2005.
c. In general, the population grew and, in particular, the number of children from 10–
15 years old.
d. Overall, the price of computers dropped and, in particular, PC and laptop prices
fell significantly.
e. In general, the percentage of full-time workers fell and, in particular, from 1980 to
1990.

Exercise 6:
a. This table illustrates the number of students who attended tertiary institutions
in 2008. Most students came from Australia, but there was also a significant number
of students from China.
b. This pie chart shows the percentage of teenagers who bought different kinds of
electronic equipment in 2007. Overall, the mobile phone was the most popular
choice, but MP3 players were nearly as popular.
c. This bar chart shows the test scores of male and female students over three time
periods. In general, male students got/gained higher scores in all periods, but the
women's scores increased in the final time period, although they did not reach the
men's total.
d. This bar graph illustrates the sales of luxury cars from the years 2000-2008.
Overall, the number of Lexus cars sold was the highest in this period, although
Mercedes and BMW were also very popular.
e. This line graph shows pollution levels in three major cities between the years
2000 and 2008. Overall, pollution was highest in 2008, though it decreased to some
extent in Beijing in that year.

International visitor numbers fluctuated with an increase from New Zealand by 20%, a slight rise from South Korea, while visitors from Japan remained unchanged. Thai tourist numbers fell significantly. The shifts may be attributed to bilateral agreements, economic conditions, and geopolitical factors affecting travel preferences .

Over the last five years, the number of Chinese students has seen a decline, whereas Indian student numbers have stayed relatively stable. In contrast, Brazilian student numbers have increased fourfold. Despite these changes, overall enrollments, both domestic and international, have decreased .

There were more immigrants from New Zealand and China and fewer from Britain and South Korea. This suggests adaptive migration policies and economic conditions in home countries influenced people's decision to migrate, reflecting labor market demands and bilateral agreements .

The high preference for mobile phones and near-equal popularity of MP3 players suggest a trend towards portable, personal technology. This likely drives future developments towards more integrated, multifunctional devices, influencing the course of consumer technology evolution .

Sales data indicates Lexus was the most sold luxury car, with Mercedes and BMW also popular, suggesting consumer preferences for premium vehicles with strong brand visibility and perceived value. This reflects economic stability that allowed sustained demand in luxury markets despite potential price fluctuations .

Male students consistently achieved higher scores, but females showed improvement in the final period without reaching male scores. This points to narrowing gender-based academic gaps, likely resulting from improved educational resources and initiatives aimed at boosting female student performance .

Pollution was the highest in 2008, which can be linked to rapid industrialization and urbanization without sufficient environmental policies. However, a decrease in Beijing suggests improved environmental strategies or technological adaptations in pollution control in response to growing concerns .

A slight decrease in European imports alongside a minor decline in North American car sales may indicate shifting global trade dynamics and consumer preferences, possibly caused by economic protectionism or increased competition from emerging markets offering alternative goods .

Commodity prices, such as grain, remained largely unchanged, particularly corn and wheat from 2000 to 2005. The price of computers dropped significantly. Employment trends showed a decrease in the percentage of full-time workers from 1980 to 1990. These patterns suggest stability in basic commodity prices and technological advancement leading to cost efficiency in electronics, paired with shifts towards less full-time employment .

In 2008, most students at tertiary institutions came from Australia, while a significant number originated from China. These differences highlight the necessity for educational institutions to cater to diverse cultural and academic needs and to consider the implications of international student recruitment trends .
