Cambridge 12: Test 7 Academic Writing Task 2 Sample (constructing new railways vs. improving existing transports)

Sample:

Transportation plays a key role in the development of a country’s economy. As such, it is not surprising that some individuals believe the significance of creating new lines between cities and upgrading the transports that are being used now. Nonetheless, it is known by all that both these points require a huge sum of money. This essay will focus on the idea that these two do not have differences in their effects.

Constructing new railway lines can experience drawbacks other than finance. One is location and/or space where the new road will be built. It should be considered that creating new lines needs a wide enough space and there is a high probability that areas, like farms and other open spaces, can be used and maybe destroyed for these projects. However, paving for new rails can result in a faster transaction of businesses, both big and small, between urban and rural areas. As a result, commerce and even tourism can boom.

As for spending money on modernizing prevailing public transports, certain downsides are identified. For instance, it is quite complicated to totally upgrade most public transports easily. Authorities should think about the total number of transports that needs improvements. Moreover, leveling up these vehicles does not necessarily mean that it can reduce the stress of traffic jam. Despite that, having a bigger and better means of transport can provide convenience to daily commuters.


To conclude, these projects thrive on the budget allocated by a government from the tax collected from the citizens of that nation. Even so, it is important to note that these views are inevitable but they share the same goal and that is to provide convenience both to locals and businesses alike.

Cambridge 11 Test 3 Writing Task 1

Sample: The data from the line graph illustrates the carbon dioxide emissions of an average individual per metric tonnes in four European countries every decade from 1967-2007.A closer look at the data highlights the fact that among the 4 nations, the UK has the highest rate in carbon dioxide emissions per person in 40 years. In 1967, there was approximately 11 metric tonnes of carbon dioxide released by an average Englishman which was about ten times higher than the emissions made by an individual from Portugal. However, it can be seen that as time went by, the carbon dioxide emitted by Englishmen decreased gradually to over 8 metric tonnes in 2007. On the other hand, a different trend can be noted in the countries Italy and Portugal where the emissions slowly rose from an initial rate of approximately 4 and 1 metric ton to about 7 and 6 metric tonnes in 4 decades. In Sweden, emissions increased to its record highest in 1977 w...
