The bar chart shows the amount of money spent in thousand pounds sterling by the people of four european countries namely britain, france, italy, and germany, on six consumer products. The goods include personal stereo, tennis racquets, perfumes, cds, toys, and photographic film and the range is between 100 and 180 thousand pounds sterling.

The same trend appears to be followed by france, italy and germany having photographic film the top consumed product on the list as well. France, however, invests almost same amount on photographic films as britain and more or less on other goods and maintains second position while italy achieves a third number.

Thanks for visiting! an ielts test taker from the uk thanks, s shared the following topics and questions from a recent exam. Thanks for visiting! our friend a took the ielts test in australia and remembered the writing and speaking questions: writing task 1 a letter you are arranging a conference for your company next month.

Write a letter to your colleagues from a different department and invite them to attend it. In your letter say some believe that more academic subjects such as chemistry, physics and history should be taught in schools, while others believe that students will derive more benefit from studying practical subjects, such as motor mechanics and cooking. speaking test what is your full name? where are you from? do you work or study? what subject are you studying? why do you think people choose such a subject in your country? creative artists should always be given freedom to express their own ideas in words, pictures, music or film in whichever way they wish. There should be no government restrictions on what they do. to what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion? art is a form of self expression whether this is through writing, painting, music or film. Many artists and works are well known because of their controversial outlook and criticism of the government or society in general. Some governments, especially in the case of dictatorships, force limits on artistic expression in the form of censorship. The government may feel the need to intervene if art becomes controversial or oversteps the boundaries between art and pornography, for example.

In art that is politically centred, the government might feel threatened that this attack will reduce their power. The individual should decide what type of art they wish to promote through their purchasing power and not the government. The government should promote and support art in the community and in this indirect way they can control what the public is exposed to. On the other hand i feel that censorship increases artistic expression and gives value to a work of art that otherwise might not be so well known. For example, politically outspoken novels that have been banned lead to an increase in sales as people rush to read copies of them out of curiosity.

Plenty of art is abstract and shouldnt be interpreted literally by governments who fear losing their authority. cambridge, ielts 4 past papers, p.76 you have read this article with the title model answer ielts writing task 2 . Out of a countrys health budget, a large proportion should be diverted from treatment to spending on health education and preventative measures. to what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement? medical science has progressed to such a stage where it is possible to understand the outcomes of many illnesses.

Millions of dollars are spend on medical services to cater to the needs of the sick. However, what is really required is an investment in health education and preventative measures. People avoid going for check ups, in most cases, until they notice some obvious symptoms or experience pain. Health education and preventative measures may be regarded as long term solutions to a nations sufferings. A simple government campaign which promotes healthy lifestyles could go a long way in preventing future illnesses. Knowing what causes terminal illnesses like heart disease in the first place, will help individuals be more responsible for their health instead of overburdening the existing health system. Naturally, tackling immediate health problems in the form of treatment is important and a substantial amount of a countrys budget is allocated to this sector.

Hospitals in many countries are overcrowded, the staff work long hours and patients dont receive the medical attention they deserve. By allocating the necessary funds to preventative measures, this gloomy image of current hospitals can be eliminated as can a patients suffering. I think it is a good idea for the government to take an interest in promoting healthy living so that in the long run, fewer people will be visiting hospitals, the nation will feel better and budgets can be reduced or allocated elsewhere. cambridge, ielts 2 past papers. you have read this article with the title model answer ielts writing task 2 . You can bookmark this page url this post will help you think of better ideas for task 2 questions. One of the biggest fears students have is opening up the writing paper, looking at task 2 and having no ideas. Idea generation in ielts writing task 2 is something students worry a lot about, but it doesnt have to be that way.

first world problems most of the students i teach come from developing countries and they often complain that ielts writing part two questions are biased towards western countries and are mostly first world problems’. For example: in some countries, young people are encouraged to work or travel for a year between finishing high school and starting university studies. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages for young people who decide to do this. what the hell is a gap year? shouted most of the learners in my class. Most of the vietnamese students i currently teach have no first hand experience with taking a year off before going to university. This seems like a very western idea to them and they felt a little bit annoyed with the question, which is totally understandable.

Fortunately, questions like these are rare and most of them will be on familiar topics that most people have an opinion on, such as health, education and the environment. Remember that this is a language test not a general knowledge test. do my ideas have to be entertaining? many students also worry that their ideas are not interesting enough or they are too boring.
