Task 1
Question

The graph below shows the proportion of four different materials that were recycled from 1982 to 2010 in a particular country.

Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

Write at least 150 words.

Answer

The line graph illustrates the percentage of 4 things – paper & cardboard, glass containers, aluminium cans and plastics – that were recycled in an unspecified country between 1982 and 2010. Overall, when compared to 1982, the total percentage of recycling increased over the years. While the amount / proportion of recycled aluminium cans and plastics had seen a steady increase, paper & cardboard and glass containers had some fluctuations until 1994. The percentage of recycled aluminium cans increased from just 5% in 1983 to 45% in 2010. Plastics recycling also saw an improvement from less than 5% to 9% in 2010. In contrast, glass containers reuse had initially fallen by 10% in 8 years but then, from 1990 it had a steady rise and reached 60% in 2010. Paper & cardboard recycling had also seen fluctuations in the beginning but then reached its peak at 80% in 1994 and then steadily dropped to reach 70% in 2010. Even though there were fluctuations in the recycling rate of paper and cardboard and glass containers over the given period, the general trend was upward. While paper and cardboard were the most recycled items throughout the given period, plastic was the least recycled thing.

Task 2
Question

Write about the following topic:

Learning English at school is often seen as more important than learning local languages. If these are not taught, many are at risk of dying out. 

In your opinion, is it important for everyone to learn English? Should we try to ensure the survival of local languages and, if so, how?

 

Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

Write at least 250 words.

Answer

Today, English is considered the most superior language in any part of the country. It is the only language, which is taught along with the local language. People give their most of the time in learning the English language. If our priority would be only learning English, there is a chance that we could forget our native language. Our local language is a gift given by our ancestors and the government should increase awareness among the society so that our language does not get disappeared.

First, earlier people used to use their native language in a conversation and they lived a really long and happy life. They were mentally strong and physically well developed. Even today some countries like China and Japan do not use English anywhere and they are among the most developed countries in the world. So, Instead of focussing more on a language, we should give our efforts to learn Science, Technology for the development of our country.

Second, the government could play a major role to make people realise that we should not be ashamed of learning our local language because every language is just a medium to have a conversation, developed by our ancestors. If someone is comfortable in speaking in a language, he should not give their unnecessary efforts to learn some other language. In Japan their government took this initiative that they will persist with their native language and would concentrate on the development of the country and we can see that Japan is leading in Technology.

In conclusion, Although it is not right to completely remove English from our life as it could be useful at somewhere, we should also feel fortunate to our language. Involvement of the government would make this easier that people would accept their mother tongue language.
