1999 2001 2003 2005 20□7 2009

The line graph compares the percentage of people in three countries who used the
Internet between 1999 and 2009.

It is clear that the proportion of the population who used the Internet
increased in each country over the period shown. Overall, a much larger
percentage of Canadians and Americans had access to the Internet in
comparison with Mexicans, and Canada experienced the fastest growth in
Internet usage.

In 1999, the proportion of people using the Internet in the USA was about 20%.
The figures for Canada and Mexico were lower, at about 10% and 5%
respectively. In 2005, Internet usage in both the USA and Canada rose to around
70% of the population, while the figure for Mexico reached just over 25%.

By 2009, the percentage of Internet users was highest in Canada. Almost 100%
of Canadians used the Internet, compared to about 80% of Americans and only
40% of Mexicans.

It is clear from the charts that the figures for developed countries are much higher
than those for developing nations. Also, the charts show an overall increase in
participation in education and science from 1980 to 1990.

People in developing nations attended school for an average of around 3 years,


with only a slight increase in years of schooling from 1980 to 1990. On the other
hand, the figure for industrialised countries rose from nearly 9 years of schooling
in 1980 to nearly 11 years in 1990.

From 1980 to 1990, the number of scientists and technicians in industrialised


countries almost doubled to about 70 per 1000 people. Spending on research and
development also saw rapid growth in these countries, reaching $350 billion in
1990. By contrast, the number of science workers in developing countries
remained below 20 per 1000 people, and research spending fell from about $50
billion to only $25 billion.

The table below gives information about the underground railway systems in
six cities.

P,a ri.s 1900 199 1191

Kyoto 1981 11 45

Los An,g ,e l es 2001 28 50

The table shows data about the underground rail networks in six major cities.
The table compares the six networks in terms of their age, size and the number of
people who use them each year. It is clear that the three oldest underground
systems are larger and serve significantly more passengers than the newer
systems.

The London underground is the oldest system, having opened in 1863. It is also
the largest system, with 394 kilometres of route. The second largest system, in
Paris, is only about half the size of the London underground, with 199 kilometres
of route. However, it serves more people per year. While only third in terms of
size, the Tokyo system is easily the most used, with 1927 million passengers per
year.

Of the three newer networks, the Washington DC underground is the most


extensive, with 126 kilometres of route, compared to only 11 kilometres and 28
kilometres for the Kyoto and Los Angeles systems. The Los Angeles network is
the newest, having opened in 2001, while the Kyoto network is the smallest and
serves only 45 million passengers per year.

The pie charts compare the amount of electricity produced using five different
sources of fuel in two countries over two separate years.

Total electricity production increased dramatically from 1980 to 2000 in both


Australia and France. While the totals for both countries were similar, there were
big differences in the fuel sources used.

Coal was used to produce 50 of the total 100 units of electricity in Australia in
1980, rising to 130 out of 170 units in 2000. By contrast, nuclear power became
the most important fuel source in France in 2000, producing almost 75% of the
country's electricity.

Australia depended on hydro power for just under 25% of its electricity in both
years, but the amount of electricity produced using this type of power fell from 5
to only 2 units in France. Oil, on the other hand, remained a relatively important
fuel source in France, but its use declined in Australia. Both countries relied on
natural gas for electricity production significantly more in 1980 than in 2000.

The maps below show the village of Stokeford in 1930 and 2010.

Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and
make comparisons where relevant.

Stokefotd 1930 Stokefotd 2010

The maps compare the structural developments and the transformation of a


village called Stockford between 1930 and 2010.

A glance at the maps reveals that the Stockford village in 1930 had fewer houses
and extended farmland but witnessed rapid housing development afterwards.

As is observed, Stockford village is located at the east of the River Stoke. Parallel
to this river, the main road has connected a bridge in the farthest north-east side
of the village in both maps. A few houses on both sides of the road, two shops
and a post office on the west side of the road were present in this village in 1930.
Besides, an elementary school, a large garden and a connecting road to the bridge
were on the east of this village. Two large farmlands were quite visible in the
early map which disappeared in the latter one.
The 20 IO's map reveals that the post office, the bridge and the primary school
remained unaltered, though, the school building was enlarged. The shops
disappeared and the garden with many of its trees was compromised to build more
accommodation facilities. The large house was converted to a retirement home
with some extension to its structure. On top of that, the number of houses
increased remarkably and these houses were built on the previously existing
farmlands and garden.

The diagram below shows the water cycle, which is the continuous movement
of water on,above and below the surface of the Earth.

The picture illustrates the way in which water passes from ocean to air to land
during the natural process known as the water cycle.

Three main stages are shown on the diagram. Ocean water evaporates, falls as
rain, and eventually runs back into the oceans again.

Beginning at the evaporation stage, we can see that 80% of water vapour in the
air comes from the oceans. Heat from the sun causes water to evaporate, and
water vapour condenses to form clouds. At the second stage, labelled
'precipitation' on the diagram, water falls as rain or snow.

At the third stage in the cycle, rainwater may take various paths. Some of it may
fall into lakes or return to the oceans via 'surface runoff'. Otherwise, rainwater
may filter through the ground, reaching the impervious layer of the earth.
Saltwater intrusion is shown to take place just before groundwater passes into the
oceans to complete the cycle.
