5、、 WRITING TASK 1 You should spend about 20 minutes on this task. 1 【正确答案】 There are 2 figures shown. The first, a pie chart, shows the breakdown, in 2003, of employed people in Australia and whether they are native, from an English-speaking country (ESC) or from a non-English speaking country (NESC)
6、. The 2nd, a line chart, shows the rate of unemployment in these 3 groups between 1993 and 2003. From the pie chart we can see that the vast majority, 76%, of the workforce in Australia was, in fact, local. The remaining 24% was either people from an ESC or a NESC, with NESC people having the larger
7、 percentage of 14%. Looking at the line chart, the first thing that is noticeable is that the number of unemployed NESC people in 1993 was double that of the other 2 groups. However, over the 10 years it steadily decreased from 8 million to a little over 4 million. The lines pertaining to both the l
8、ocal and ESC people declined a little bit over the same period, with the native figures fluctuating along the way. Overall, we can see that the level of employment rose in Australia and that the workforce was primarily made up of Australians. 【知识模块】 小作文(看图作文) 2 【正确答案】 The graph shows Irish unemploym
9、ent levels as a percentage as well as the number of people emigrating over a twenty-year period starting in 1988. Looking at the unemployment rate first, we can clearly see it was highly volatile. Beginning in 1988 at about 17% it fell considerably to around 7% in the first 2 years. It fluctuated ma
10、ssively over the next 10 years finishing, in 2000, at around 6%, and then steadily increased over the next 8 years to arrive at a final figure in 2008 of approximately 11%. The line showing people leaving began at approximately 35,000. This increased reaching a peak in 1990 of around 50,000. It then
11、 fell relatively steadily until a little before 2000 where it reached its lowest point of roughly 30,000, only to then generally increase again finishing at a little less than 40,000. In summary, we can see that although the unemployment rate finished lower than it began, the number of people leavin
12、g Ireland actually remained the same compared to 20 years previously. 【知识模块】 小作文(看图作文) 3 【正确答案】 The table reflects the level of employment of graduates in the UK broken down into UK region and whether the work was permanent, temporary or overseas. Initially, looking at Permanent employment we can se
13、e the figures across England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland were all fairly similar, ranging from 35% in Northern Ireland to 46% in Scotland. Temporary employments figures, although lower, were also fairly close together, with only an 8% variation between the 4 countries. Wales came out top i
14、n this area with 23% and again, Northern Ireland was lowest with only 15%. Looking at the last sector, Overseas employment, this had by far the lowest percentage values. Here, Northern Ireland topped the table with 5%, with both England and Wales on 2.3% and Scotland, 2.9%. In summary, although the
15、values between the 3 different types of employment were considerably different, they were reasonably similar across the different countries of the UK. 【知识模块】 小作文(看图作文) 4 【正确答案】 The table describes the percentage of people living in various kinds of accommodation in 3 separate areas: Green Park area,
16、 Central area and South Boxberg area, of an unnamed city in the UK. Looking firstly at the Green Park area, we can see that 75% of people live in either a semi-detached or detached house with 10% and 15% living in a flat/apartment or terraced house, respectively. The Central area shows considerably
17、different figures. 76% live in a flat or apartment with only 14% living in a terraced house and the final 10% split evenly between semi and detached houses. The final area, South Boxberg, again shows a very different distribution. It has an even split between flats and terraced houses of 35% and 36%, and again between semidetached and detached houses of 15% and 14%. Overall, although the population of each area is very similar, the types of housing that people live in are considerably different over the 3 areas. 【知识模块】 小作文(看图作文)
