ACADEMIC WRITING TASK 1:-

The diagram below shows how a central heating system in a house works. Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features and make comparisons where relevant.

Sample Answer:-

This diagram provides an overview of a domestic central heating system. It shows how the tank, boiler and pipes ensure a constant flow of hot waterto both radiators and the taps.

The cold water enters the house and is stored in a water storage tank in the roof. From there ü flows down to the boiler, located on the ground floor of the house.

The boiler, which is fuelled by gas or oil, heats up the water as it passes through it. The hot water is then pumped round the house through a system of pipes and flows into the radiators, located in different rooms. The water circulates through the radiators, which have small tunes inside them to help distribute the heat, and this warms each of the rooms. Some of the water is directed to the taps to provide hot water for the house.

Once the water has been through the pipes and radiators, it is returned to the boiler to be re-heated and circulated round the house again.

Sample Answer:-

Dear Robert,

I hope you’re enjoying your college year. Thanks very much for asking me to come and visit you in Singapore. As you know, I haven’t travelled to Asia before, so I thought I’d write and ask you a few questions.

I want to bring a present with me and I wondered what would be appropriate. Perhaps you could let me know what your mum’s hobbies are and then I could come up with an idea based on one of them.

Also, what sort of clothes should I bring? I know it’s pretty warm where you live but do I need jumpers or a coat? What sort of activities are we likely to do with I’m there and should I bring things like swimming gear or trainers.

Lastly, I hate to be nuisance but I hope you remember that I’m vegetarian. I do eat fish and eggs but I don’t eat red meat and chicken at all. Is that going to be a problem?

Look forward to hearing from you.

Regards

Barnaby Smith

WRITING TASK 2 (AC+GT):-

Nowadays we are producing more and more rubbish. Why do you think this is happening? What can governments do to help reduce the amount of rubbish produced?

Sample Answer:-

I think it is true that in almost every country today each household and family produces a large amount of waste every week. Most of this rubbish comes from the packaging from the things we buy, such as processed food. But even if we buy fresh food without packaging, we still produce rubbish from the plastic bags used everywhere to carry shopping home.

The reason why we have so much packaging is that we consume so much more on a daily basis than families did the past. Convenience is also very important in modern life, so we buy packaging or canned food that can be transported from long distances and stored until we need it, first in the supermarket, and then at home.

However, I think the amount of waste produce is also a result of our tendency to use something once and throw it away. We forget that even the cheapest plastic bag has used up valuable resources and energy to produce. We also forget that it is a source of pollution and difficult to dispose of.

I think, therefore, that governments need to raise this awareness in the general public. Children can be educated about environmental issues at school, but adults need to take action. Governments can encourage such action by putting taxes on packaging, such as plastic bags, by providing recycling services and by thing households and shops that do not attempt to recycle their waste.

With the political will, such measures could really reduce the amount of rubbish we produce. Certainly nobody wants to see our resources used and our planet poisoned by waste.

Do you think sleep is the best way to relax?

Sleeping patterns vary with age. Children generally sleep more than adults. Those who do a lot of physical work also need more sleep. The elderly sleep for only 4-5 hours a day and it is enough for them because they have very little physical exertion.

I have read many articles in my life. Today I will talk about an article about healthy lifestyle that I read last year. I read this article from the website fitness.com. I was browsing through a website, when I saw the link to this article. The name of the article was very eye-catching. It was “Look Younger, Live Longer”. I clicked on the link and it opened this article. Nowadays, we all are living a sedentary lifestyle and facing many health related problems. This article opened my eyes that to become healthier, it was all about making small lifestyle changes. I came to know that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. We should have a healthy and wholesome breakfast and never skip it. This helps boost our immunity and also helps us go through the day with full energy. I have never skipped breakfast since I’ve read this article and I can concentrate on my work and studies better. I also read that we should have at least one seasonal fruit every day. It also said that walking for an hour a day is as good as one hour of gym. Since then, morning walk has become a part of my routine. I used to dislike broccoli before I read this article. However, after reading that Broccoli is a very good source of proteins and is full of nutrients, I started having it regularly. I feel very fit and healthy and rarely sick I made these small changes. I have bookmarked this article and read it often. I have also shared it with many of my friends and relatives.
