In some countries, more and more adults choose to continue to live with their parents

after they graduate and have found jobs. Do the advantages of this trend outweigh its
disadvantages?)
It is commonly believed that grown-ups usually lead their independent life after they finish
their study program or get a job but in some nations, there are several graduates still residing
in their families. From my perspective, while there may be some benefits to this trend, I
believe they will be outstripped by the drawbacks.
On the one hand, there are several advantages when adults live with their parents after
graduation or have jobs granted. Firstly, it can help forge a stronger relationship between the
family members as not only do they have opportunities for immediate conversations, but
they can also have more regular face-to-face interactions. For example, newbie worker who
has just completed their education can share their experience and receive mental support or a
piece of advice from the experienced predecessor during dinner time. Secondly, living with
their loved ones can help adults to save a substantial amount of money. From a practical
viewpoint, those who live under a family roof can reduce monthly costs effectively by
splitting the household bills and sharing the food expenses. As a result, young adults can cut
back on their budget to save for other purposes or on a rainy day.
On the other hand, I strongly believe that there have been some detrimental effects on those
who do not live independently. One of the primary reasons for this is the ability to make
their own decision. This could be exemplified by the fact that in Vietnam, many helicopter
parents are often involved in their youngster’s decisions and indirectly, harm their
development of decision-making skills. Furthermore, they can be over-reliant on their
family. Admittedly, those who haven’t left their nests are often exempt from mundane tasks
such as washing dishes or preparing meals. Consequently, this will harm the adults self-
reliance skills which leave a negative impact on their future careers.
In conclusion, although adults can have an easier life when staying in their home, they will
not be able to become mature people and high-functioning citizens of society.
The diagram below shows how drinking water is produced using a solar-powered water
pump and water filter
Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make
comparisons where relevant

The picture gives infotmation about the production of drinking water with the use of a water
pump and water filter powered by solar energy
Looking rom an overall perspective, it is readily apparent that the mechanism mainly
involves three important components, namelypanels, an underground well and a water tank
so that dinking water is produced for daily use, performed both underground and on the
ground
The process commences with enormous heat energy being captured and stored in the
photovoltaic cell of the solar panels, which is utilized to produce electricity via a converter.
This source of electricity is then channeled to a pump, which is placed below the water level
inside the well, and use to pump water to the water tank through a long pipe
Regarding the operation mechanism of the tank, it is put on a flatform made from wood, with
four columns in four corners working as legs for balance. Inside the watre tank, there is a
watre filter to extract all the inpurities and duty to produce clean water for drinking. This
stage is carried out through a moderate pipe, with a tap being attached to it for daily
convenience, and drinkable water is stoed in a cube movable container

The maps give information about some changes taking palve to the layout of an art gallery’s
ground floor between 2005 and the present day
Looking from an overall perspective, it is readily apparent that the art gallery is now more
accessible and has undergoes significant new transformations to serve different demands of
the public
In 2005, the gallery was designed merely for its exhibition purpose and visitors could enter
the hall through the entrance in the south of the building. Inside the hall, there was a
reception desk to welcome visitors, which led to a staircase in the north end. The remaining
parts simply consisted of functional areas whit a set of three exhibition room in the eastern
wing, one large exhibition space together with an offic taking up the entire southwestern
corner, and a cafe in the northwest
At present, this location has become modernized and versatile, providing more facilities for
visitors, especially with the addition of a wheelchair slope right outside the entraice to the
west and a lift next to the stairs. To the southwest, the exhibition room was converted into a
children’s indoor playground and a smaller room for temporary display, while a gallery shop
and a vending machine were opened in place of the original gallery and the cafe. The final
alteration that happened was the relocation of the reception towards the entrance of the
gallery

The given flowchart gives infromation about numerous stages in the procedure of acquiring a
driving license in the United States of America
Looking from an overall perspective, it is readily apparent that there are five main stages in
the system. It is also obvious that the process commences with the registering for the license
in the driving license center and culminating in obtaining the license
At the beginning of the process, unlicensed drivers will go to the driving license center and
fill out the requisite forms. Subsequently, an eyesight test is staken which is compulsory for
everyone. If someone fails this test, they cannot enter the following procedures. Success in
the eyesight test leads to the following phases where one needs to pay the fees of a written
examination and be present in the test. If the indivisual passes the written exam, he or she is
eligible for the practical or road drive test. Nevertheless, failure in the written test would
mean that he or she will have to retake the written exam, albeit free of charge. Failing again
in the exam will result in the fact that one has to re-sit the exam with a payment
After successfully completing the road-drive test, a person is qualified and could be able to
acquire his or her driving license. If he or she fails in the practical test, it can be takne again
with another payment
