Task 1 plan:

  • paraphrase task heading
  • summary paragraph – 2 major features
    • prices for 3 food groups and CPI increased
    • only prices for fresh fruits and vegetables were higher than overall increase in CPI over the period.
  • compare sugar/ sweets and carbonated drinks trend with CPI
  • report on fresh fruits and vegetables trend

Model sample:

The line graph provides information about changes in price in the USA of three different food product groups from 1979 to 2009, and the overall trend in the consumer price index over this 30-year period.
Overall, it is clear that prices increased for the three food product groups, despite fluctuations. Only the increase in the prices for fresh fruits and vegetables was significantly higher than the rise in the general consumer price index.
All the lines on the graph have the same starting figure in 1979. Over the period, the consumer price index rose steadily from around 60 in 1979 to over 200 in 2009. Prices for sugar and sweets and carbonated drinks showed similar trends. Although their prices also rose, they were consistently below the consumer price index average after 1987. After many minor fluctuations, the number for sugar and sweets was 200 on the graph in 2009, higher than the final figure for carbonated drinks at 150.
Prices rose sharply for fresh fruits and vegetables, particularly after 1989. From the same figure of about 60 at the start of the period, the prices finished at roughly 330 on the index in 2009.

Some people think that intelligence is innate, while others think we can improve our intelligence through learning. Discuss both sides and give your opinion? Intelligence is measured by IQ. A person is more intelligent only when he has more IQ, although we can improve our IQ by working on it. Intelligent people can analyze spontaneously, think intellectually and their memory is also at a good standard. As every coin has 2 sides in the same way every argument has more than one opinion. Some people think intelligence is innate although many others think intelligence can be improved. In my subsequent paragraphs, I will explain both sides more broadly.   Many people think intelligence is inborn and  children will get genes from their parents or ancestors. So if a person or his ancestor has a good IQ, it can be inherited by their children not only IQ but also many qualities can be inherited f om  Parents. If a person is a singer or a dancer then his or her child gets that talent from their

Some people say that the main environmental problem of our time is loss of particular species of plants and animals. Others say that there are more important environmental problems. Discuss both these views and give your opinion. Environment, the most essential term for human life plays a major role in the cycle of nature. These days the environmental conditions are degrading day by day, few of them say, extinction of species in biotic organisms is one of the causes. Others say that there are different environmental problems. I'm going to discuss both of them in my writeup. On one hand, it is stated that, one of the causes for degradation of environment is the extinction of species and also getting endangered.

This ensures that the  nature is unbalanced and also causing environmental problems. On the other hand,

In some countries, more and more people are becoming interested in finding about the history of the house or building they live in. What are the reasons for this? How can people research this?   Many people probe into the stories of their homes to find the history of the house or building they live in simply because they are curious. Most cities have been in existence since a long period of time and many of its ancient buildings are examples of the stories she (the city) has to narrate to those who’ve forgotten about her.   Many people get into fields related to the study of such stories and buildings whereas, the others research about this out of their inquisitiveness.
