Cambridge book 4, Test 4:

The chart one shows the millions of visitors came to UK and went abroad on tour from 1979 to 1999.
Millions of British tourists traveled their popular destinations in 1999 has been explained in the chart
two.

On the horizontal axis of the first chart the time span within which millions of British toured given on the
vertical line visited to and from UK has been shown. Similarly in 1999 the millions of UK visitors on
horizontal line are shown the mostly toured destinations by the UK on the vertical line.

The difference between travelers to and from the UK was very minimal in 1979. The growth rate of the
both trends was considerably poor till 1990s.But afterwards the visit of the Britishers abroad rose
sharply unlike the sluggish increase of foreign tourists’ visit to the UK. In 1999 non-UK tour to the UK
was half of the tour made by the Britons overseas.

But of the 55 millions of tours made by the UK in 1999, France shared one-fifths, the share of Spain was
nearly one-sixths what equaled the total market share of Greece, Turkey and USA of UK tourists.

Therefore it is evident from both the charts that the UK has more tourists to offer to the global market
than to receive and France and Spain are the two big markets of British tourists.

Cambridge 7: Test 3: Task I:

The chart shows the fluctuation in average prices of houses in five different cities between 1990 and
2002 in comparison with 1989.

Compared to price in 1989 the fall of prices of house in 1990-1995 was very significant and the rise of
the same in 1996-2002 was much dramatic if the case of London and Madrid were put to perspective.

The average prices of house in cities like New York, London and Tokyo fell by 5 percent to 7 percent
approximately though the case of rise in price was very minimal in both Frankfurt and Madrid.
Conversely the cost of house on an average went much higher in 1996-2002 in all cases excepting Tokyo
what remained considerably low in both the time period. But London and New York experienced a 17
percent and 10 percent growth in price respectively in the 2002 compared to the price of 1990. Besides,
compared to the housing cost in 1989 Madrid had a steady upward trend in price in both the time
period whereas Frankfurt underwent a slump in 2002 after a slight rise in 1990.

However, it is clear from the chart that variation of price of house in five cities compared to 1989 had
an overall rise in 2002 after a moderate dip in 1990.
