Sample essay:

The graph presents the total number of British male and female students who are studying fulltime and part-time. It shows that the study was conducted once every ten years from 1970/71 to 1990/91. As can be seen, part-time education is more preferred by both genders in all periods. Also, in every period, there is an increase in students in both education category but the huge jump was recorded during the first decade of the study for female student full-timers.

In 1970/71, there were around a million male students who study irregularly. It was ten times more than those who study regularly. However, a fluctuation for part-timers was seen in the next twenty years. A different trend, a steady rise, was shown for fulltime British male learners and by the end of the period, the number of students that study the whole time had doubled as compared with the data in 1970/71.

Looking at the information for female learners, as with men, more women chose to study non fulltime during each term. A significant leap can be noted from the middle of the graph to the end of the interval reaching its peak to about 1.1 million college undergrads. Another important highlight is the growth in the number of regular students during the first decade which eventually continued to escalate until it leveled off with the rate of male full-timers in 1990/91.

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...
