SOLUTION
The data given in the table illustrates the proportion of land that is covered by forests in four different countries,
Australia, New Zealand, Brazil and Chile between the years 1990 and 2005.
Going through the data, it can be comprehended that countries New Zealand and Chile have exhibited an
increase in the proportion of forest land. The forest area of New Zealand was initially 28.8% in the year 1990
but it increased to 31% in 2005 mounting to an overall increase of 2.2%. On the other hand, the proportion of
forests in Chile rose from 20.4% in 1990 to 21.5% in 2005 accounting for an increase of 1.1%.
It can also be understood that the forest proportions of Australia and Brazil have diminished. Although Australia
had a forest proportion of 21.9% in 1990, it was reduced to 21.3% in 2005 and is also estimated to reduce to
20.4% by 2015. Similarly, the forest proportion of Brazil fell from 62.2% in 1990 to 57.2% in 2005 marking a
reduction of 5%. It is also projected to drop to 53.5% in 2015.
Overall, while both New Zealand and Chile demonstrated an increase in the forest proportion, there was a con-
siderable reduction in the forest proportion in both Australia and Brazil. The future estimates also show that
the same trend would be followed.

SOLUTION
The given graph shows the estimated comparison of the evaluation of the maximum numbers of elephants
throughout the years 1997 and 2004.
We can observe from the graph that there is a very significant decline in the numbers in most of the countries
causing an alarming threat to the Asian elephant population. The figures for Thailand and Malaysia showed the
greatest decline among the other countries. The value seems to be almost half of what it was in 1997 when
compared to 2004 in both countries. Malaysia also exhibited a figure that was as low as 1000. We can also
see that India continued to be the country with the greatest number of Asian elephants but again, the numbers
showed a significant fall in 2004 when they fell to 7500.
Another interesting trend that could be observed in the graph was that in countries such as Vietnam and Laos,
the population of Asian elephants was seen to remain stable while most of the other countries exhibited a
steady decline. Conversely, in Cambodia, the trends were observed to be positive. The population of Asian ele-
phants rose by almost 25% in Cambodia in 2004 compared to 1997. This can also be seen in the case of China

SOLUTION
The above pie chart shows the percentage of modes of transport preferred by commutators in the UK in 2004
and 2009 for both study and work purposes.
After going through the pie chart, we can realise that there is a substantial decrease of 23% in the percentage of
people who travel by car in 2009 as compared to 2004. It can also be noticed that all other modes of transport
have seen a surge from 2004 to 2009.
In 2004, almost half of the population preferred to travel by bus but in 2009, it was replaced by bus. Due to this,
the greatest surge was seen in buses as it had a surge of 13% compared to all other modes of transport. The
commutation through cycles also increased to almost double in 2009 as compared to 2004.
There is a stable change in the proportion of travellers who commute using trains and walking. After buses, the
second greatest increase was seen in the number of cyclists as it increased by 7% from 2004 to 2009.

SOLUTION
The given line graph shows the pattern exhibited in different employment in America from 1930 to 2010.
It can be inferred from the line graph that, in the 1930s 75% of the American population was employed in sectors
such as farming, fishing and foresting. Of the remaining only 10% were engaged in sectors such as sales and
trade and office jobs. Merely 2% of the entire workforce constituted to technical and industrial sectors. These
trends showed gradual changes in the next 20 years except for the technical sector.
The game changer was the year 1980. There was a very conspicuous change in the workforce by then. People
then preferred to incline more towards sales and trade and industrial sectors than the conventional agriculture
sector. This is evident from the decline in the agricultural, fishing and foresting workforce from 75% in the 1930s
to 40% in 1980 and the surge in the industrial and technical workforce by 13% and 10% respectively.
The greatest dip from the entire line graph is seen in the agricultural, fishing and foresting sectors in the 2000s.
Once dominant in the mid-19th century, this sector dwindled to a mere 1% of the workforce in the 2000s. The
sales and office sectors also saw a surge in the 2000s. It can also be seen that except for the agricultural, fishing
and foresting sectors, all other sectors constituted more than 10% of the total workforce in the US in post-2000.

aspects.
SOLUTION
The given image gives two different processes to manufacture black tea. The first is the traditional method and the
second is the modern method. The former is beneficial in making loose tea while the latter can be useful in produc-
ing tea bags.
When selecting the tea leaves for manufacturing the black tea, the worker picks only the two top leaves and the bud
to ensure a high-quality tea. The second process is called withering. During this process, air is passed through the
leaves on the rack. This helps to remove up to 60% of the moisture.
The leaves are then left for the third process called rolling or cutting. It can be done manually following the traditional
methods and can also be done through modern methods to facilitate faster processes of cutting, tearing and curling to
make teabags. The end product of both processes would be the release of natural enzymes produced from the leaves.
The last and final step in the manufacture of black tea is oxidation. Here, the enzymes released from the leaves mix
with the air. It is during oxidation that the colour changes into black and tea gets its smell and flavour. The leaves are
then fired and dried. Almost all the moisture is removed from the leaves after this process leaving only around 3%
left on the leaves.

SOLUTION
This flowchart describes in detail about the various processes that occur during attaining admission into the desired
high school.
The first and mandatory step is attaining high school. After that, each student is asked to complete the university
entrance application form that can be downloaded from the official website of the high school. The form must be
completed by the student and submitted to the administration office.
The administration office is responsible for granting the admission to the students. It might take up to two weeks for
a student to get a reply from the administration office. It can be one among an acceptance, provisional acceptance
or a rejection. In case the student is rejected, they can either cancel their admission or apply for an alternate course
by reapplying to the administration office.
In case a student is provisionally accepted, this means that more documentation is needed. This must be done by the
student and sent to the administration office. If a student receives an acceptance from the office, they would have to
complete the enrolment form followed by selecting the subjects they wish to study and register the same with the
dean. After all these formalities are completed, the student is permitted to join the university.

SOLUTION
The table shows the comparison of different modes of transport in four different countries, Canada, Belgium, Germany,
and the Netherlands.
It is very evident from the above table that in all the four countries, cars stand out the most preferred mode of trans-
port. Canada has the highest number of commutators using cars with 90% while the Netherlands has the least stand-
ing at 47%. The dip in transport by car is made up by travelling on bicycles and on foot in the Netherlands. This is
evident from the table because 26% and 18% of the Netherlands population travel on bicycles and on foot respectively.
Germany stands out in using public transport with one commutator in five preferring public transport.
The bar graph is also very helpful while analysing the usage of cars in Canada. As stated before, Canada has the
most commutators in cars. We can understand through the bar graph that this is mainly due to the absence of any
other alternative as 38% of the commutators agree to this. While 23% chose cars because of the convenience they
offers, 13% preferred it so they can reach the destination quickly. Other reasons include requirement for work and
nightshifts etc.

The railways of six European cities, Paris, Stockholm, Lisbon, Rome, Madrid, and Berlin are depicted in the bar graph
above. Generally speaking, Lisbon has the largest number of commuters, whereas Paris has the oldest and greatest
train network.
According to the bar diagram, the Paris railway was founded in 1863 and presently operates 400 kilometres of tracks.
With its foundation in 1900, Stockholm’s railway system is the second-oldest as well as the second-largest in the world,
spanning about 200 km. For Rome and Lisbon, their respective founding years are 1976 and 1927. They have train
lines that extend to 126 and 155 kilometres respectively. The smallest rail track in Madrid is only 11 km long and was
established in 1981. Berlin, on the other hand, debuted in 2001 and included a 28-kilometer route.
When it comes to passenger service, the Lisbon rail system leads when compared to other city rail systems with over
200 million passengers annually. The Paris railway system only serves 775 million passengers annually, despite being
the largest and oldest train system. Rome’s passenger service each year is 144 million, which is three times more than
that of Berlin and Madrid’s train networks.

At a glance, 14% of all households in the nation were living in poverty during the given year. Compared to cou-
ples, individuals face greater challenges. When it comes to individuals having children, single parents made
up the largest percentage of respondents (26%), whereas couples reporting children reported a significantly
lower percentage (15%). This indicated that they had faced severe adversities due to issues in managing their
finances and providing for the children.
Regarding the single population without children, the proportion was quite high (24%), nearly matching that of
the single population with children. Conversely, just 9 per cent of childless couples suffered from poverty in
2002. When it came to the elderly, the percentage of singles was marginally higher than that of couples. Merely

tion of water and subsequent cloud formation. The path of the water once it hits the ground is depicted in the following
phase, which concludes with saltwater intrusion.
The heat from the sun causes water to evaporate into the air at the beginning of the process. Eighty per cent of all
water vapour is thought to originate from the ocean. The condensation of water vapour that follows creates a cloud.
The next phase is marked by snow or rain due to the dense clouds. Water which is the byproduct of precipitation now
enters the lakes and seeps into the earth. Rainwater from the surface runoff forms the groundwater, which eventually
returns to the ocean without passing through the impermeable barrier. Seawater intrusion, or the movement of ocean
water into freshwater aquifers, is the final process of the water cycle.

In the twenty-first century, technology has advanced rapidly, and human civilization has made significant strides
in the fields of internet-based services and technology. Currently, a portion of the world’s population still actively
uses books, journals, periodicals, newspapers, etc. But many people think that these kinds of media are about to
become outdated because of the rise of news websites and free internet access to books, magazines, and other
materials. I completely agree with this statement, and I will provide suitable examples to support my views.
It is common knowledge that the first thing people do these days whether they want to read a book or simply
review the news of the day is search the internet. With the help of gadgets like tablets and smartphones, peo-
ple can now find information online more quickly and easily than ever before, allowing them to spend minutes
relaxing in the comfort of their own homes while enjoying their favourite media. Because there are now many
more handy options, individuals are beginning to give up their interest in print media.
In addition, several websites frequently offer individuals access to free versions of the various print media that
they appreciate. For example, the majority of news outlets post their daily news on their public website, which is
open to all users. Additionally, the public may access popular books, journals, and periodicals in digital format
for a small subscription price, or sometimes for free, thanks to the availability of lots of websites and databases.
As a result, most users of these types of media have stopped purchasing hard copies.
However, there is a sizable portion of the population who appreciates traditional print media. However, given
how affordable it is to make this kind of data and material available online, businesses will soon fully transition
to internet-based services.
In conclusion, let me state that individuals consistently choose the most comfortable option. It is safe to pre-
dict, then, that internet media services and goods will completely replace traditional print media in the years
to come.

SOLUTION
The environment is currently being negatively impacted by technological advancements. While some think that
living simpler lives is the only way to solve these environmental issues, I believe that technological advance-
ments may help in their solution.
On the one hand, people think that individuals should lead simpler lives and use less technology. The first rec-
ommendation is that instead of using cars, individuals should walk or ride bicycles. This is due to the fact that
there are currently more automobiles being produced and driven, which results in high exhaust fume levels and
air pollution being a major problem. In order to limit the exploitation of natural resources like nuclear power
and fossil fuels, people should also make an effort to use less electricity. The yearly Earth Hour event, in which
everyone is asked to turn off their lights for sixty minutes, serves as an illustration of this concept.
On the other hand,, I think that technological advancements can make a significant difference in environmental
preservation. First off, such advancements have made it possible for individuals to find methods of recycling
items like glass and paper, which lessens the issue of disposing of waste. Second, technology can contribute
to the use of renewable resources in the production of power. For example, numerous nations across the globe
have constructed solar-powered power plants. Because of this, producing electricity does not require using
non-renewable resources, nor does it cause grave environmental harm.
In conclusion, while some believe that living a simpler life can help prevent environmental difficulties, I believe
that technical advancements can help address these challenges.

SOLUTION
It is undeniable that traffic is becoming a bigger problem for cities all around the world. In order to lower the
amount of traffic in our cities, I look at the causes of this trend in this essay and offer a few feasible options
that the government may put into place.
Understanding the reasons behind the rise in traffic in towns and cities is the first step. There are essentially
three basic causes for this. One is that cars are now more reasonably priced for the typical customer and are
expected to be owned by most families rather than being a luxury items. A second factor is that the reliability
of public transportation has declined recently, in part due to the reduction of several bus and train services due
to financial difficulties. The third factor is that more people are willing than ever to drive themselves to work as
society as a whole has become more mobile.
Given the complex nature of its reasons, there is most likely no one solution to this issue. To encourage people
to take the bus or train rather than drive a car, and increase the dependability of public transportation. Another
way to discourage people from driving to work would be to charge extra for using the roads, particularly during
rush hours. The London congestion charge program is one effective example of this, as it has undoubtedly
decreased traffic in inner-city regions.
In conclusion, a number of reasons have contributed to increased traffic in metropolitan areas. Finding a per-
fect answer might not be feasible, but any action that is taken should most likely focus on raising the usage of
public transportation and raising the cost of driving in cities.

SOLUTION
These days, pursuing an education abroad has become one of the most sought-after endeavours. The major-
ity of students intend to pursue their education abroad, particularly for master’s degrees. A contributing factor
to the growing popularity of studying abroad is the relaxation of international travel regulations and policies.
Studying abroad has benefits and drawbacks, though, and the paragraphs that follow will discuss the subject
and go into more detail about why the benefits outweigh the drawbacks.
Many first-world nations have more advanced and sophisticated educational systems, which is one of the main
reasons people study overseas. Students from emerging or undeveloped nations, such as Brazil, China, India,
Argentina, and others, frequently search for better academic opportunities abroad than they can find back
home. Living abroad also gives people exposure to the global community and promotes the development of
social and interpersonal skills, all of which are critical for qualifying for well-paying employment possibilities.
However, there are a lot of disadvantages to studying abroad. First of all, it is an expensive process from the
time you apply to a foreign university until you finish your degree. Many households find it unaffordable to invest
in such an expensive endeavour. That being said, due to cultural and social traditions that differ, getting used
to the norms and customs of a foreign nation can be a challenge for many people.
In conclusion, if pursuing an education abroad is financially possible for aspirant students, it can truly be a boon.
I also strongly believe that the advantages of studying abroad outweigh the disadvantages.

SOLUTION
There is no denying that schoolgirls tend to be more interested in subjects relating to the arts than schoolboys
are in the scientific fields of study. This inclination makes sense for a number of reasons, in my opinion, and it
has to be changed.
The reason why boys and girls choose different subjects is primarily due to two factors. It develops mostly from
each gender’s natural strengths. It is an indisputable fact that certain male students are more skilled at using
reason and logic when studying science; as a result, they tend to show an aptitude for the mathematical and
physical domains, whilst the other sex may be more sensitive and emotional, which gives them an edge when it
comes to understanding the arts or languages. Also, the conventional wisdom also plays a role in determining
that difference. As a matter of fact, many parents encourage their sons to major in science and their daughters
in the arts in order for them to grow up to be honed individuals.
I think that the previously described trend needs to be rectified. It is important to support children, both male
and female, in achieving the correct balance between academic fields like science and the arts. Numerous sci-
entific studies demonstrate how learning the arts can increase children’s capacity for creativity and imagination,
which helps them understand scientific subjects more effectively. In the meantime, majors in math or physics
provide opportunities for female students to strengthen themselves and improve their problem-solving skills.
In conclusion, there are a number of previously discussed reasons why boys typically choose science courses
for school while girls favour the arts. However, I argue that this scenario needs to be remedied.

SOLUTION
Students in universities and colleges frequently work part-time jobs these days in order to help pay for their
education or obtain experience in the workforce. It benefits pupils in numerous ways, in my opinion.
The first clear benefit is that employment can result in income. In many nations, parents cannot afford to send
their children to school, or the students are on their own. Consequently, a student’s financial situation can be
greatly improved by taking a part-time job. For example, in Britain, tuition costs have skyrocketed in recent
years, making it difficult for some bright but struggling students to focus on their studies because they are
frequently deeply in debt and have few resources. Therefore, many students are forced to work in addition to
their academic responsibilities if they wish to pursue their selected course.
Additionally, working a part-time job can assist someone in getting ready to leave the ivory tower and enter the
real world of employment. Employers have been complaining a lot lately that new hires don’t understand the
needs of the company and don’t put their academic knowledge into practice. However, a little work experience
from school can come in handy when starting a new job. There have been a lot of instances where the workers
with prior experience excelled in their workplace thereby enhancing productivity.
While it is true that the main goal of a university education is to focus on academics, practical knowledge is as
important and should not be disregarded. However, I think there are numerous benefits for students who work
a part-time job in addition to their studies.

SOLUTION
Certain individuals believe that academic rewards ought to be given to students who achieve the highest levels
of success. The primary objective of this argument is that to get the best grade, students may be encouraged
to study hard, and those who perform very well in school need to be commended for their efforts. On formal
exams, only a select few really bright students can succeed, and normal students may believe they are not
smart enough to compete with brighter students at all. Thus, to improve their overall performance, other stu-
dents must be also acknowledged for their efforts and commended.
On the other hand, I agree with people who believe that students who make a dedicated effort to learn should
receive rewards from their schools. For instance, my parents used to frequently give me small gifts when I did
better on a test than I had on the previous one when I was a child. I still recall that this helped me to be top of
my studies in the classroom and made a big difference in my studies. It is advised that to motivate students to
learn, schools use a similar strategy. Teachers may commend students as a way of acknowledging their work
during the semester.
In conclusion, I believe that academic progress should be recognized by schools, not just the students who
achieve the highest scores.

SOLUTION
People in the modern era are frequently educated about the risks associated with unhealthy lifestyles. Even
with incredible developments in medicine, diseases still claim the lives of a great number of people and cause
most of their pain.
There are a few reasons why engaging in unhealthy hobbies is still a common habit. The first explanation for this
is that most people tend to be overly optimistic. Although there are frequent and strong reminders of the harm
that unhealthy lifestyles can do everywhere one looks, individuals continue to believe that these consequences
are rare. Even people who are aware of it are frequently misled into thinking that unhealthy behaviours are not
as bad as the media portrays them to be. Second, it is extremely hard for people to quit bad habits once they
become addicted to them. For example, smokers find it difficult to give up cigarettes because of their strong
addictive qualities, while sedentary persons find it difficult to motivate themselves to be more active since they
don’t enjoy working out.
There are several potential solutions to these issues. One of them is raising the tax on unhealthy products such
as cigarettes, alcohol, and foods high in fat content. Direct effects are promised by this solution. Furthermore,
it is important to continue promoting healthy lifestyles and to harshly criticize harmful lifestyles in the media.
People would, in my opinion, find it simpler to give up their old, damaging habits if they felt compelled to defend
themselves and realise that everyone around them shared the same behaviour.
Thus, it may be concluded that with conscientious health measures, the threat of an unhealthy lifestyle could
be mitigated.

SOLUTION
It’s true that the customary family mealtime is disappearing. There are a few explanations for the change in
behaviour due to which family life and health are significantly impacted.
Families no longer share mealtimes as much as they previously did for two obvious reasons. First of all, parents
occasionally let their impatient children eat in front of the TV or on the computer because they are frequently too
restless to eat at the table. Second, due to financial strains, close-knit families are splitting. Setting up regular
mealtimes for the entire family when they are together can be quite difficult in homes with a single parents or
families where the mother works.
Meals shared as a family are considered to be a vital component of a stable family environment. Throughout
a child’s early years, the consistency of their family mealtime plays a critical role in forming their personal-
ity. During family mealtimes, plans are made, advice is given, and news is shared. Family meals provided an
opportunity to provide everyone in the family with a healthier diet centred on good home-cooked food, which
was beneficial to the children’s health. When this schedule is broken, kids are occasionally left to eat fast food
junk food or snacks from snack shops. Childhood obesity and hyperactivity are common health implications
that arise from children not eating a balanced diet, as was previously supplied.
In conclusion, there are a number of explanations for the decrease in family mealtimes spent together, and
most of them are undesirable.

Primary school is favoured by some as the best age for kids to begin learning a foreign language, although
this is a heavily debated topic. The pros and cons of implementing foreign language instruction in elementary
schools will be discussed in this essay. The advantages of this strategy, in my opinion, outweigh any possible
disadvantages.
The possible increased load on young learners is one major drawback of beginning foreign language instruction
in elementary school. Many contend that young students may already be burdened with a significant amount
of academic work throughout their early school years, and adding foreign language study might worsen their
stress levels. For example, young students may find it difficult to efficiently manage their time, which can result
in burnout and negatively affect their learning process as a whole.
However, there are several benefits to starting foreign language instruction in elementary schools. Early expo-
sure can promote natural language development and improved cognitive development, as younger minds are
typically more open to language acquisition. Studies have indicated that young children who begin learning a
foreign language at an early age typically demonstrate greater learning capacity as well as improved pronun-
ciation and fluency. For example, a Harvard University study discovered that students who started learning
a foreign language in elementary school were significantly better in other subjects and demonstrated higher
language proficiency than students who started in secondary school.
In conclusion, there are significant benefits to introducing foreign language instruction at the primary school
level, despite potential worries regarding the increased workload for young learners. I believe that the best
way to improve their language skills and nurture their general growth is to begin learning foreign languages in
primary school instead of senior school.
