Model answer:
The declining landings of turtles in Malaysia are due to uncontrolled catching for their meat, shells and eggs.
Many are inadvertently caught in deep sea fishing nets. Pollution of the sea has also reduced the number of
turtles. Many die of suffocation by discarded plastic bags. Besides, turtles are most vulnerable when they
come ashore to lay eggs. Their nesting places have also been reduced due to development for tourism along
the coasts. Nevertheless, concrete steps have been taken to arrest the decline. Indiscriminate collection and
sale of turtle eggs are banned. Turtle sanctuaries have been set up, thereby reducing the rate of mortality
among the baby turtles. Lastly, an awareness campaign has been launched by WWF to discourage the public
from eating turtle eggs. (125 words)

Model:

The chart and the table reveal some significant differences between the countries, with regard to health and
medical care.

Looking at the chart, it can be seen that Japan provides by far the highest number of hospital beds, at 14 per
thousand of the population. The second highest allocation is 8 per thousand in Germany, but this is little
more than half the Japanese figure. On the other hand, the US, Spain, Canada and the UK provide the lowest
numbers of hospital beds, at around 3 per thousand people. Dutch and Australian figures are only very
slightly higher than this.

The table takes a closer look at funding and life expectancy in three of these countries. Although Japan has a
much better life expectancy figure (83) than the other two countries, its government spends considerably less
money on healthcare, contributing just $2,581 per person. In contrast, the US government allocates well
over twice that amount, yet its citizens have a life expectancy of only 78 years. Meanwhile, Dutch people
can expect to live to be 80, and the government spends $ 3,481 on each citizen.

Although the Japanese government contributes much less money to healthcare, there are far more beds
availbale for patients, and people can expect to live longer there than in some other countries.

Part 3: More and more qualified people are moving from poor to rich countries to fill vacancies in
specialist areas like engineering, computing and medicine. Some people believe that by encouraging the
movement of such people, rich countries are stealing from poor countries. Others feel that this is only
part of the natural movement of workers around the world.

examples from your own knowledge or experience.
