Task 1

You should spend about 20 minutes on this task.

The bar chart below describes some changes about the percentage of people were born in Australia and
who were born outside Australia living in urban, rural and town between 1995 and 2010.
Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features and make comparisons where
relevant.
You should write at least 150 words.

The given chart below illustrates differences in the proportion of the natives of Australia and
non-natives of Australia living in cities, countryside, or towns between 1995 and 2010.

Overall, it is obvious that the highest portion of residential places being chosen is cities.
However, the proportion of towns and countryside fluctuates through the years.

In 1995, the percentage of Australians dwelling in urban outnumbers reached 40 percent and 60
percent for the natives and non-natives respectively. The chart also reported people who lived in
towns occupied the lowest portion when the number was only 20 and approximately 15 percent
with the natives and non-natives correspondingly. Meanwhile, the quantity of residents in rural
areas remained stable from 30 to 40 percent.

2010 witnessed the percentage of people living in cities unchanging, although there was still a
slight distinction of around 20 percent between the natives and non-natives in which the natives
climbed up to 63 percent. Finally, Australians staying in towns and rural areas declined to about
18 percent or lower.
Task 2
You should spend about 40 minutes on this task.
Rich countries often give money to poorer countries, but it does not solve poverty.
Therefore, developed countries should give other types of help to the poor countries rather
than financial aid. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
You should write at least 250 words.

Nowadays developed countries have a tendency to support developing countries in a monetary

way. While I believe that financial problems are every government of poor countries' concerns, I
think much of other types of help rather than giving money.

Supporting money solely will not be sustainable for developing countries. These countries need
to learn how to stand on their own feet. The circumstances caused by lack of money will become
a cycle once aid money has been spent entirely. On the other hand, a huge amount of money
being used by a bad government can be a real danger, corruption and bribery are two common
reasons for poverty in developing countries. Vietnam is in this situation, for instance, where
supportive money from other countries is used illegally by civil servants.

Instead, helping developing countries in an academic way is more appropriate. Sending

professors from different fields to enhance the experience and knowledge of people in
developing countries will be much more useful especially since they can still make use of their
study afterward. Even more, developed countries can create scholarships for students in
developing countries to be trained skillfully. Moreover, rich countries can also cooperate with
poorer countries in building infrastructure which is usually declining badly. Apparently, public
construction does not have benefits only for transportation but also for the economy. For
example, Japan and America have been recently two funding nations in constructing bridges
crossing rivers in Western Vietnamese.

To sum up, other ways of aid should be considered more properly for their advantages, thus,
poverty will disappear in the world.
