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 it should be compulsory for people to retake their driving test every five years. What are the advantages and disadvantages of doing this? Nowadays, there is an increase in automobiles on the roads, which aligns with the numerous road accidents. Many argue that instead of taking a single driving test in their life, everyone must undergo the test periodically. What are the positives  and demerits of retaking the driving test? This essay discusses both the positive and negative sides of the repeated driving test in the subsequent passages. On the one hand, the main advantage of the repeated driving test is, we can cut down on many road accidents by educating the motorists about new rules enforced every year.

Have you ever been to any island? Yes, I have! Actually, I lived on an island for 3 months back in 2016. My mother was offered to work at a resort for 2 years, so I joined them there for 3 months.  Isl and life was quite an interesting experience! Are there any islands in your country? Yes, there are. There is one famous island called X, famed for its  crystal clear  water and white sands. I’ve heard the pagodas are very interesting to visit there, as well. I haven’t been yet, but I dream of going there for a  girls getaway (when women go on a trip together)  sometime in the future Do you want to live on an island if you have a chance? Not really. Islands are beautiful, but I felt really  isolated (separated from others)  when I lived on one before. As I’m an active person, I felt there wasn’t much to do. Sure, the beach is great, but it gets boring day after day. What do you like to do when you are on an island? Beach of course! Behind that, I like  getting to know
