Cambridge 13 (Academic IELTS) Writing Test 1: Task 2



Sample essay:


Many people from different walks of life are opting to reside in foreign countries for various reasons. This, however, often results to issues that are inevitable but are not severe. What kinds of problems arise when immigrating to another country?

Perhaps one of the biggest barrier to be considered is language. Adapting to the culture of an unknown country is challenging when an immigrant does not have enough abilities to communicate with locals. As a result, newcomers are limited to using simple words and gestures. This can be a frustrating daily routine. Immigrants then have no other choice but to learn a new language. Although, it is important to point out that this is a foreseeable dilemma that can be addressed and therefore is not considered severe.

 Another issue related to migration is adaptation. Ideally, people prefer to mingle with those they easily identify with. That is, we create a small community that follows and accepts the same beliefs that we grew up with. If an immigrant decides to live in a place that is completely different from his or her culture, he or she will find it hard to adapt to this foreign land. That is one of the reasons why in almost every country in the world, small communities or towns that represent a different culture has been growing in number. Again, this problem cannot be tagged as serious since immigrants can almost always find their home away from home.

In conclusion, residing in a country that uses a foreign language can cause one or two problems. On the other hand, as already stated, these dilemmas are things that were carefully considered by those who chose to migrate. These are issues they are willing to experience for the sake of having new and better lives.

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.

In Sweden, emissions increased to its record highest in 1977 w...
