The maps show how a university campus has changed since

2010. Overall, the campus has seen improvements with


additional expansion and rearrangement of facilities, but nearly
maintaining its conditions.
Starting with its previous appearance, the campus had two
student dormitories, which were divided by two roads. There
were also university offices and on the opposite side, a teaching
block for science and arts faculties. In the center, a lake was
surrounded by lawn and seating areas along with two shops
and a restaurant locating nearby.
At the present, the campus has expanded and some of the
buildings have been reconfigured. The larger student dormitory
has been enlarged, and a new one has been built adjacent to it
to house more students. The University offices have been
relocated to the smaller student accommodation to make a way
for modern science building. The original teaching block has
experienced renovation to be exclusively specialized in arts. The
relocation has included two shops and restaurant while a new
student dormitory has been constructed in its location with a
new surfaced road, which makes it more accessible. The lawn
and seating areas around the lake have gone. The smaller
student dormitory has been modernized and made bigger to
accommodate relocated facilities and offices.
The line graph details how many international students pursued tertiary education in a particular
UK university over a 20-period between 1995 and 2015.
Overall, the proportions of Asian and North American students saw downward trends while the
attendance rates of European and African students remained unchanged despite some
fluctuations. International students from Asia stood out among others with consistently higher
trends whereas the number of African students was the least over the given period.
Asian and European students accounted for larger segments of international students at the
university in 1995, at around 60 and 50 respectively. The former doubled by the end of the
period, reaching a peak of 120. The latter fluctuated mildly between roughly 55 and 58 but kept
its opening figure in the final period.
Initially, there were twice as many European students as African ones, at 40 as opposed to 20.
Even though the figure for European students did not see any changes in the first five years, it
then decreased to about 35 before a recovery to the initial rate, followed by a sharp increase to
around 70 in the final year. As for African students, the opening figure stayed unchanged for the
first decade but there was an uptick to 30 in 2010 before going back to its initial rate in the last
year.

The bar charts give information about the outcomes of surveys carried out in one African country
regarding the primary reasons for phone usage among teenagers between 2016 and 2019.
Overall, using smartphones for accessing social media and taking photos increased but for
calling and email purposes decreased over the period. The main popular reason for the
use of smartphones was engaging with others through social networking sites, while the least
popular one was for making phone calls.
The features of social media and emails were the primary reasons why teenagers used their
smartphones. The reasons for using smartphones for social media were twice as popular as
emails in 2016, at 50% and 25% respectively. The former decreased to 48% in the next year
before a recovery to 51% in 2018, followed by a significant increase to 56% in the last year. The
latter decreased consistently from the initial 25% to 19% in 2019.
Using phones for calling and taking photos were less popular reasons, at 10% and 15%
respectively. The reason for using a digital camera remained unchanged in the next
year but it saw increases to 18% in 2018 and 20% in 2019. When it comes to making calls, the
figure rose to 13% in 2017, after which it only decreased, dropping to 11% in 2018 and 5% in the
last year.
Studies suggest that many teenagers these days prefer
socialising online to meeting one another in person.
Why do you think this is the case?
What measures could be taken to encourage teenagers to
spend more time meeting one another in person?

Online interaction has gained in popularity among teenagers, replacing face-to-face


meetings. Among many reasons why adolescents opt for virtual socializing, the primary
ones are the availability of digital devices, the internet and the conveniences social
experience can offer, and several measures can be taken to encourage young people to meet
in person.
Two main factors why young teenage people opt out of offline meetings in favor of virtual
interaction. One is the ubiquity of devices such as smartphones and computers along
with the sophisticated internet technologies, a factor that facilitates socializing between
people without physical presence. This also means that teenagers can interact online
regardless of the location, widening the network of their friends. Moreover, digital
friendships can help juveniles save time and money that could be spent on meeting one
another, meaning that they do not have to use transport and pay money for fares and food.
Instead, they can use their devices to contact anyone, enjoying different snacks or meals
from the comfort of their home.
Convenient as it seems, this situation is not a positive one, which is why these young people
should be encouraged to meet in person. One way to do this is the encouragement given by
their parents, which could be done by teaching young people about the importance of
physical human interaction and the negative aspects of a virtual lifestyle. This would
hopefully stimulate teenagers to spend more time outdoors. Furthermore, social media
celebrities could be role models for young people, showing the importance of face-to-face
relationships by posting various content. This might result in an increase in in-person
interactions among teenage individuals.
In summary, social interaction is one of the important aspects of human life, and its
popularity in digital forms should be discouraged by parents and social media figures to
improve offline interaction among teenagers.
A person’s health is their own responsibility rather than the government’s
responsibility. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?

Health is one of the most delicate topics, and there is a view that Everyone should be responsible
for their health instead of relying on the government’s support. While there are some truths to
some extent, I imagine it would be impossible to guarantee people will be in good health
without the involvement of the government.
People should shoulder accountability for their health for a few reasons. To have a healthy life,
people, at least, should have health literacy, meaning that they should know basic information
before making any health-related decisions. It is a must that people follow hygiene rules, or
when they do not feel better and sick, they ought to be able to use first aid or consult
doctors. Moreover, they should understand that leading a healthy lifestyle involves having a
balanced diet and engaging in physical activities. The opposite of these
two are sedentary lifestyle and a lack of physical exertion, which may have negative
consequences on people’s health. The requirements above mentioned should be met by the
people, themselves not the responsibility of the government.
However, it would be unimaginable to provide better public health without the government’s
participation. The reason for this is simple since the government manage health policies ranging
from providing facilities to vaccination. People often take medicine, consult doctors, and get
vaccinated from to time, all of which are done through the healthcare policies of the
government. In emergencies like epidemics or pandemics, the government’s role is so huge that
solely person might not be capable of dealing with the problem. During Covid-19, when people
were desperate and hopeless, the situation could be tackled by the effort of the government, and
people had to follow implemented rules and regulations.
Even though there might be arguments against the government’s role in providing specialists and
amenities as in the cases of poor African countries, where they lack healthcare opportunities
because of countries’ economic and political conditions. I would say governments are still
helping their citizens when they are not able to help themselves by asking for help from
international organizations. The ‘Chain of Hope’ is an organization that carries out operations
and aids people on medical grounds.
In conclusion, although some people believe that people should be accountable for their health,
I believe the government’s role in this situation matters most.

Topic – person health – both could be mainly governments


Why their responsibility – should health literacy or when to consult a doctor
Should know basic Infor about first aid and hygiene
Should lead a healthy lifestyle following a balanced diet and engaging physical activities
Why government – government provide facilities and train doctors without
It would be impossible
Medial healthcare is expensive for most people vaccines to prevent epidemics
Covid-19 example
Free healthcare is a human right

Second example – people are desperate in African countries even government is helpless, ask
for international aid – the chain of hope to France a good example

The line graph details employment figures in four sectors of the economy in the US between
1960 and 2020.
Overall, it is clear that the proportions of employees in the manufacturing and agriculture sectors
decreased while the numbers of people employed in retail and healthcare increased over the
period. Initially, the manufacturing sector was the biggest employer but by the end of the period,
its popularity was gained by the retail and healthcare sectors, and agriculture remained the
least popular sector.

In 1960, the manufacturing sector boasted 15 million workers, a figure that was three times as
high as in agriculture. Over the next twenty years, the former saw a noticeable increase, reaching
a peak of 20 million employees but it only decreased gradually by the end of the period,
dropping to about 13 million. The latter halved until 1980, followed by stability during the next
20 years, and it finished the period with merely 2 million workers.

By contrast, the employment figures for the retail and healthcare sectors exhibited increasing
trends, starting at around 5 and 2.5 million workers in 1960. The number of the employed in
retail experienced a dramatic threefold rise over the next 40 years, reaching 15 million, and it
continued to rise slowly, reaching approximately 16 million in 2020. In contrast, the more
consistent trend can be seen in the figure for medical workers, where the number increased
remarkably, soaring to a whopping 16 million.
