SUGGESTED ANSWER:
The reading passage elucidates the ecological impacts of aerosols on global climate. Aerosols plays a
principal role in diminishing the warming consequences from the disgorgement of greenhouse gases, yet
this asset is likely to be deprived of due to the enforcement of air pollution regulations. Moreover,
because air pollution is inherently localized, there are wide disparities among the aerosols’ influences on
environmental factors of different regions. Therefore, research is being conducted with a view to
evaluating the relationships of ecological factors and the effects of air cleansing. The global climate
balance is maintained by both greenhouse gases and aerosols. Whilst concentrations of greenhouse gas
accumulate heart radiation, aerosols reflect sunlight, thus lowering the overall temperature. The impact
of aerosols is municipal since they are promptly disposed of, while greenhouse gases disperse far and
wide. A plummet in the release of aerosols will present major changes to heavily populated areas.
However, it should be taken into account that this effect is not analogous to that of greenhouse gases
loss.

Part 2. Graph writing (15 points)

Contents (10 points)

Language use (5 points)

The report:
- should demonstrate a wide variety of lexical and grammatical structures,
- should have correct use of words (verb tenses, word forms, voice, …); and mechanics (spelling,
punctuations, ....).

SUGGESTED ANSWER:
The pie charts enumerate a survey result which compares the type of cultural and free-time activities
boys and girls participate in. At the first glance, boys generally prefer computer games, and outdoor
sports while girls mostly participated in activities like dancing, gymnastics and reading.

As is presented in the diagrams, more than one-third boys play computer games while one-quarter play
basketball. Moreover, nearly one in five boys plays soccer and one-tenth of them like to do
skateboarding. It is prevalent from the illustration that boys mostly play games and take part in outdoor
sports. The reading habit among boys is very poor as only 2% of them read. Interestingly, listening to
music is an activity which is enjoyed by an equal percentage (10%) of boys and girls.

Moving to the girls’ activities, playing computer games is not as popular among girls as it is among
boys. The most popular pursuits among girls are dancing (27% pick this up) and reading (more than
one-fifth are active readers). Among outdoor sports and activity, gymnastics and netballs are common
among female children as 11% and 15% participate in these two outdoor activities. Interestingly, the
ratio of reading among girls is considerably higher than that of boys.
