Writing task 1 – page 15

The graph depicts the average number of male and female students who graduated in university

between 1992 and 2007. The chart is made by a y axis that shows the number of graduates starting

from 60.000 to 160.000, and a x axis that specify the years.

First of all it’s immediately obvious that on average female students are more likely to graduate

than male students, indeed the graph shows a majority of female graduates that treble the male

graduates between 1992 and 2007. I am convinced this is due to the fact that women need to study

more than men to reach a certain career or a certain salary.

Although between 1996 and 1998 there was a slight decrease of graduates, on the other hand

between 2002 and 2006 the number of graduates peaked for both male and female students. This

considerable growth highlights that in 2006 the average number of female graduates almost reached

150.000, so in less than 15 years the average got almost 5 times higher. For male students instead

the growth between 2002 and 2006 is not as considerable as the female’s number, in fact we can say

that the average number of male graduates in 2006 didn’t even trebled the percentage of 2002.

To conclude I would say that the general growth is probably due to the fact that from some point

many jobs started to require a particular qualification or degree, as it happened in Italy in the 90s,

and this led to a considerable growth of graduates.

It’s known for years now that colors can influence people’s feelings, there were many psychological

studies that were able to demonstrate this statement. Indeed since all of these studies more attention

was given on choosing the colors when decorating places such as offices, schools and hospitals.

I truly believe, as a psychologist to be, in chromotherapy as the fact that colors of walls and

furniture for example can affect people’s mood. I am convinced that light tones and some colors

such as blue, purple, orange and yellow can evocate different moods: blue, for instance, has an

antistress function; while feelings like happiness and positivity are evoked by the shades of yellow.

Last year I was attending a course named welfare Psychology and we studied that the more terminal

patients stay positive and happy, the more they will live. So far a few years ago I visited the

Oncology Department of the local Hospital and that’s when I learned about how much

chromotherapy can work on people’s health: orange and yellow were used for the walls of the hall

and corridors; in the chemotherapy rooms the walls were blue and the curtains were light purple

matching some really comfy looking purple armchairs. I remember the light in this rooms was

darker than the light in the corridors and that there were some color changing neon lamps, that I

think really did their job in making the atmosphere relaxing.

Nevertheless a cold atmosphere, such as in some offices, with white neon lights, grey and black

objects and everyone dressed the same in dark and formal colors, I think affects in a negative way

people’s mood and attention. In my opinion people in this atmosphere will produce less, be less

concentrate and also more tired.

To conclude I would say that since chromotherapy was demonstrated as an effective method, it should be used in as many places as possible to affect people’s mood and influence their positivity and stress. Writing task 1 – page 17 The bar graph gives information about the variation of the average number of international graduates in the Canadian provinces between 2001 and 2006. In the chart the y axis shows all the 8 provinces of Canada, and the x axis depicts the percentage of students from 0 to 16. First of all it’s important to highlight how every province shows a considerable increase of the number of international students except for Alberta that shows instead a decrease of less than 2%. It’s evident how British Columbia in 2006 abundantly doubled the percentage of international graduates of 2001, but the highest percentage is given by New Brunswick, which already had a good amount of international graduates in 2001. To be honest I am quite shocked about the low percentages of Ontario because when I visited the campus the Victoria University in Toronto it seemed full of international students, but it’s 2016 I am talking about so maybe there were some changes in 10 years. So far for British Columbia I am pretty sure that it has always been a place for international students, also my university offers a couple of spots for the exchange program in Canada and they are both in British Columbia. To give an overview I would say that in five years there has been a general increase of international students in Canada, except for Alberta, and in my opinion besides the pandemic in the last years those percentages may have doubled or trebled also because of the great increase of opportunities given by universities around the world. Writing task 1 – part 37 The graph and table provide information about the growth of the over 65 Japanese population between 1950 and 2055, particularly it shows the statistics from the past, present and future trends. According to the chart the percentage of the Japanese population in 1950 shows that there were 84. million people of which only 4.1 million were over the age of 65 years. By 2005 the number of people reached the number of 127.8 million, of which 25.7 were over 65. After the considerable growth between 1950 and 2005 with the highest peak in 2005, the population started to fall in 2010 and it’s predicted to decrease substantially in the next 45 years. 2015 in fact met a little decrease but by 2035 the number it’s predicted to almost halve the 2005 peak. By 2055 indeed the total population figures will drop to the number of 89.9 million with a 41.0% consisting in the over 65 population. What these statistics are telling us is that the more the number of citizens drop, the more elderly the population will be made of; this is probably due to the fact that most of the young people will no longer live in Japan. Writing task 1 – IELTS up Task 1 A sample The bar chart provides information about the transport preferences among young people around the world. The chart is made by a y axis that shows the percentages and a x axis that depicts 4 different

The pie charts give information about the different activities taken by children as the results of a survey. The first graph shows the cultural and leisure activities that boys take part in and the second graph depicts the cultural and leisure activities taken by girls. The first thing to highlight I believe is the difference between the two most common “hobbies” to spend the free time: listening to music and reading. Both boys and girls shows a 10% for listening to music, whereas it’s clear that reading is considerably preferred by girls with a percentage of 21% against 2% for the boys. So far is also important to underline how boys doubled the use of computer games with a percentage of 34% against the 16% of use made by girls. However besides the most common activities we can see how boys and girls show different interests, for instance basketball and dancing are two sports comparable for their averages of frequency, but also skateboarding for boys and gymnastic for girls both depict a 11% of participation and moreover netball for girls and soccer for boys could be comparable. I would say that besides reading, boys and girls in general show fair participation in comparable activities. Writing task 2 – IELTS up The loss of bio-diversity It is sadly true that human being’s influence on the ecosystem is leading to the extinction of different species of animals and therefore the loss of bio-diversity it’s increasing year by year. Undoubtably the loss is a consequence of the destruction of some species’ habitats such as the Ocean for instance: since the 80s oceans started to be considerably polluted by plastic and garbage and unfortunately this led to the formation of plastic islands such as The Great Pacific Garbage Patch divided into eastern and western, with the shocking dimensions of millions of square km. These islands are made of microplastics which are the smallest microscopic parts of plastic, because how we know plastic is photodegradable and not biodegradable, and these microplastics are of course destroying animals stomachs and leading to the extinction of turtles, fishes, birds and more. However natural disasters are not helping the ecosystem. The big fires in the Amazon Forrest and in Australia in the last years killed a substantiable amount of animals and plants and destroyed millions of hectares of land. Luckily in the last decade we have been learning how to treat the world better and trying to recycle, reduce the use of plastic, reduce the use of cars and prefer hybrid cars and so on. I believe people as Greta Thunberg really made a difference especially in young people’s mind but will it be enough? For now I honestly don’t think so, of course we should consider that not everyone is taking this cause by hearth (most countries don’t recycle for example) but I also feel like we should sensibilize more and more in schools, on the streets and taking it as a social commitment. To conclude I would say I am hopeful the situation will get better maybe in 20/30 years but I am also getting disappointed day by day for thing I thought were out of date and this make me feel scared for my future and for my children, I believe we have no certainties. Writing task 1 - IELTS up Sample 2, Diagram The diagrams below give information about the changes that had been made since 1950 at the West Park Secondary School. The school was constructed in 1950 and since then it was enlarged in 1980 and again in 2010.

In 1950 the school building was pretty small compared to the big playground and a big farmland. The enlargement made in 1980 was quite impressive because a science block was added at the main building of the school and a car park was constructed as a replacement of some houses next to the school; the sports field in addition replaced the farmland. However I believe 2010 was the year that saw the school having the biggest changes: the car park became more than twice as big as it was before, the sports field was halved and the playground got smaller. To give an overview I would say that through the years more attention was given to the have the possibility to access to a close parking place and a bigger building for the school; less attention instead was given to the space dedicated to the sports field. Writing task 1 – page 39 The bar graph and table give information about the hospital beds per thousand of the population and the government health spending. The countries we can see in the chart are Australia, Canada, Germany, Netherlands, Spain, UK and US. While giving a closer look the chart is immediately clear how Japan and Germany show the highest number of hospital beds per thousand of the population: Japan depicts a number of 14 and Germany a number of 8. The other countries are quite on the same levels: they all show an average of beds close to 4. Nevertheless Japan has the highest number of hospital beds, it’s not the country in which the government spends the most in healthcare, but still has the highest average life expectancy, which is 83 years old. Netherlands, on the other hand, has a government that spends $3,481 per person but has an average life expectancy of 80 years old. In conclusion US, which is the country that spends the most in health care depicts a life expectancy of 78 years old, which is the lowest average in the table below. To summarize I would say that the money that governments spend in healthcare are not closely related to life expectancy. In fact I believe there are other factors that influence the average of life expectancy such as the place where you life and the climate.
