The charts below show the percentage of time working adults spent on different activities in a particular country in 1958 and 2008.  Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant. Write at least 150 words. (ảnh 1)

Sample 1:

The pie charts illustrate the average percentage of an employed person’s day spent doing different activities in 1958 and 2008, in a particular country.

Overall, employed people in this particular country spent the most amount of time in a day, in both 1958 and 2008, at work. Furthermore, there was an inverse relationship between working and sleeping over the 50 years.

In 1958, working people in this country spent one-third of their day at work, followed by just under one-third of their day sleeping. Going out with friends or family took up the next largest portion of time in a day, at 19%. Meanwhile, travelling to work was the activity that took up the least percentage of time in someone’s day. 

Fifty years later, the percentage of a day that people spent at work increased to 42%, while the figure for sleeping had dropped to 25%. Less time was spent going out with family and friends (6%), but more time was allocated to relaxing at home (13%). In addition, the figure for the portion of the day that people spent travelling to work quadrupled to 8% over the period.

Sample 2:

The pie charts illustrate the percentage of time adults waste during their working day on various tasks in a particular nation between 1958 and 2008.

Overall, the percentage of time spent working and sleeping was the highest in 1958. Additionally, while the time spent on every other activity increased, the percentage spent going out and sleeping declined.

According to the first chart, the percentage of time spent on working and sleeping was similarly the highest, at 33% and 32%, respectively. Going out accounted for 19%, while relaxing at home was 11% less. Furthermore, the total percentage of time spent on other activities, such as playing sports (6%) and traveling to work (2%), was equal to the percentage of time spent relaxing at home (8%).

In the second chart, the working percentage increased significantly to 40%. Meanwhile, the percentage of time spent sleeping decreased by 7%. Moreover, the percentage spent relaxing at home was 5% larger in 2008. The percentage of time spent on other activities was identical to time spent on going out with friends, at 6%. Finally, the time spent travelling to work increased to 8% in 2008.

Sample 3:

The provided pie charts outline the average time distribution of an employed individual to daily activities in a specific country during 1958 and 2008.

Overall, work and sleep constituted the most significant portions of a working adult’s time in both 1958 and 2008. While the percentages allocated for traveling to work, working and relaxing at home ascended, the time spent socializing and sleeping experienced a decline.

In 1958, approximately one-third of the day was devoted to work (33%), followed by an almost similar duration spent on sleep (32%). Going out with friends or family accounted for 19% of their daily routine. Meanwhile, commuting to work and relaxing at home occupied smaller segments, comprising only 2% and 8%, and the residual 6% was attributed to other activities such as hobbies or sports.

From that time to 2008, the proportion of time dedicated to work significantly increased to 42%. Simultaneously, the duration allocated for relaxation at home saw a notable rise, representing 13% of the day, and the time spent commuting also quadrupled to 8%. Conversely, the time distribution for sleep diminished to 25%, while socializing with family and friends also reduced to 6%. The sole category which stayed unaltered was others, at 6%.

Sample 4:

The pie charts illustrate changes in the proportion of time that working adults spent on different activities in 1958 and 2008.

It is clear that in both years, working accounted for the largest percentage of time, while the surveyed people spent the least proportion of time on commuting. Also, the figure for going out witnessed the most dramatic change.

Looking at the information in more detail, we can see that in the initial year, 33% of the time was allocated to working, closely followed by the figure for sleeping (32%). By contrast, people only spent 2% of their time on commuting. Going out took up 19% of a day, and this figure was more than twice the figure for relaxing at home. The proportion of time distributed to other activities such as hobbies and playing sports was 6%.

In the year 2008, the proportion of time people spent on working and relaxing at home saw a remarkable rise to 42% and 13% respectively. The most drastic change could be found in the time allocated for commuting, with the figure growing by 4-fold. By contrast, there was a sharp decline in the percentage of time distributed to going out and sleeping by 13% and 7%. In this year, people still spent 6% of their time on other activities.

Sample 5:

The provided charts illustrate the percentage of the day working from those who were experiencing adulthood, in terms of activities in 1958 and 50 years later.

Taken as a whole, a brief assessment of the information reveals that the working adults relied on almost all their time for work. The time dependent on working and sleeping has an inverse bond over 50 years.

To begin with, in 1958, workers spent roughly 1/3 of their days at work and less than 1/3 of their days sleeping. After that, outdoor activities with friends and family accounted for 19%. Additionally, spending time reaching the workplace had the lowest percentage of traveling to work at 2%.

Besides, in 2008, the statistics of working days witnessed a significant increase. This figure rose to 42%, and the sleeping days, in contrast, declined to 25%. Furthermore, the percentage of commuting days experienced had increased four times to 8%.

The plans below show a bookstore in 2000 and the bookstore now.  Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant. Write at least 150 words. (ảnh 1)

Sample 1:

The maps show changes in the layout of a bookstore between 2000 and the present. 

In general, the layout of the bookstore has been significantly changed, especially on the left-hand side of the room. A number of features have been moved and modified, while other facilities have been added. 

In 2000, there was a large section dedicated to fiction books on the left-hand side of the store. However, that section has been divided into four new sections, in which books on art, hobbies, cookery, and fiction are now displayed.

The area for fiction books in the rear left corner of the store is now used for non-fiction books, while the old non-fiction section has been transformed into a new cafe. The central area of the room, which used to be for art, cookery, and hobby books, is now occupied by tables and chairs. Meanwhile, the space for travel books, new books, and the service desk, has remained unchanged over the years. 

Sample 2:

The maps depict the layout changes of a bookstore from 2000 to the present. Overall, the bookstore has undergone significant modifications, including the relocation of several book sections, the introduction of a seating area, and the addition of a café.

In 2000, the bookstore’s central area was occupied by the art, hobbies, and cookery sections. These sections have now been moved to the top left corner, next to the fiction area. As a result, the fiction section, which previously spanned across two large areas, has been reduced in size. The central space, once home to art, hobbies, and cookery, now accommodates three tables for customers to sit and read.

Additionally, the non-fiction section, originally located at the bottom of the store, has been relocated to the top right corner, where the larger fiction area once stood. The space formerly used for non-fiction has been transformed into a café, providing customers with refreshments. Despite these transformations, some areas have remained unchanged. The travel section, new books, service desk, and entrance have all stayed in their original positions throughout the period.

Sample 3:

The two maps depict the transformation of a bookshop over the course of two decades, from the year 2000 to the present.

Overall, the layout of the store has undergone significant changes over time, particularly with regard to the arrangement of the different sections. While the centre of the store is now fully occupied, the relocation of the cooking, hobbies, and art units to the north has resulted in a more balanced distribution of content throughout the store. The addition of a café has also enhanced the shopping experience for customers, offering a comfortable space for reading, relaxing, and enjoying a cup of coffee.

In the year 2000, the central area of the bookshop was primarily occupied by cooking, hobbies, and art units, while the northeast and north edges were dominated by large fiction units. The west and east west corners housed travel, new books, and a service desk, and a non-fiction section was situated on the east side of the store.

Fast forward to the present, and the bookshop has undergone a significant transformation. The central tables are now completely occupied, forcing the cooking, hobbies, and art units to be relocated to the north. The previous large fiction unit in the northeast corner has been replaced by a non-fiction section, and a café now occupies the south side of the store, where the non-fiction department once stood.

Sample 4:

The two maps show the evolution of a bookshop from the year 2000 to the present. Overall, the tables in the centre have been totally occupied, pushing the units for hobbies, literature, and cooking to the north. Also, a café has replaced a non-fiction section in the present bookstore.

The centre of the bookshop included cooking, hobbies, and art areas in 2000. Large fiction units were occupying the northeast and north edges. After the entry area, on the west and east west corners were travel, new books, and a service desk. A non-fiction section was also located on the east side of the bookstore.

The present bookshop has three attached circular tables with four chairs surrounding each one in the centre, displacing the cooking, hobbies, and art units to the north side where there used to be a huge fiction arrangement. Additionally, a non-fiction section has taken the place of the other fiction unit that was in the northeast corner. In fact, the south side of the bookshop, which is currently home to a café, used to house the nonfiction department.

Sample 5:

The two maps depict the changes that have taken place in a bookstore from 2000 to the present day. Overall, the central area has been completely packed with tables, pushing cookery, hobbies, and fiction units on the north side. Meanwhile, at the expense of a non-fiction unit, a café has appeared in the current bookstore.

In 2000, there were cookery, hobbies, and art sections at the centre of the bookstore. Both the north and the northeast sides were occupied by large fiction units. Travel, new books, and service desk were on the west and east west corner right after the entrance area. Moreover, there was a non-fiction unit on the east side of the bookstore.

In the current bookstore, pushing cookery, hobbies, and art units to the north side, where previously there was a large fiction setup, the central space is packed with three round tables attached with four seats around each one. Furthermore, the other fiction unit, which was located at the northeast corner, is now replaced with a non-fiction area. In fact, the nonfiction section was previously on the south side of the bookstore, which is now occupied by a café.

Sample 6:

The maps below show a bookstore in 2000 and now.

Overall, several scattering book sections have been consolidated to make space for the introduction of some new services.

In 2000, fiction was the most dominating genre, occupying the largest L-shaped shelves running along the top wall and half of the right-side one. Hobbies, cookery, and art took up a modest space in the middle of the bookstore.

Currently, the area right after the entrance has been kept intact with space dedicated to the travel and new book sections. The L-shaped area has been divided into four nearly equal sections to accommodate art, cookery, and fiction at the top, and non-fiction on the right, which has allowed the removal of the four separate display areas. The non-fiction section from 2000 has been removed to establish a café, enhancing customers' experience.

Sample 7:

The maps illustrate the reorganization of a bookstore at present in comparison to its arrangement in 2000.

According to the floor plan of the store, the area right at the entrance has been kept intact with space dedicated to the travel and new books sections. Also, in the near right-hand corner after the front entrance, still stands the service desk.

However, after reshuffling, the fiction section stretching along the left wall in 2000 has been reduced to only a quarter of its original size in the back corner of the store. This leaves room for the art, hobbies, and cookery sections which have been removed from the middle of the store to make way for three sets of tables and chairs. At the back of the store, people now keep non-fiction books where there used to be fictions. Meanwhile the non-fiction section in 2000 has been removed to establish a café which customers can reach when they walk past the service desk on the right of the store.

Overall, the maps demonstrate the resizing and relocation of the same sections of books in the store to accommodate a new in-house café.

Sample 8:

The map illustrates the evolution of a bookstore's layout from the year 2000 to the present day. A comparative analysis reveals a significant reconfiguration of various sections, notably a reduction in the area allocated to fiction, which has been supplanted by new facilities and sections.

Commencing with the left side of the entrance, the original fiction area has undergone a notable transformation, segmenting into four distinct categories: Art, Hobbies, Cookery, and Fiction. This diversification enhances the variety available to customers. Furthermore, the upper right section, which initially housed a dedicated fiction area, has now been occupied by a Non-Fiction section. In contrast, the Travel section, located directly opposite the entrance, has remained unchanged over the years, indicating a stable demand for this genre.

On the right side of the entrance, the sections for New Books and the Service Desk have retained their original positions. However, a Non-Fiction area that existed in 2000 has been converted into a café, reflecting a shift towards a more leisure-oriented experience for patrons. Additionally, the middle section, which previously included Cookery, Hobbies, and Art areas, has transitioned into a cluster of tables, providing customers with spaces to sit, relax, or read while enjoying their visit to the bookstore.

Sample 9:

The changes which occurred to the physical layout of a bookstore since 2000 are portrayed in the given maps. Overall, it is clear that there have been done significant alterations in the store for the introduction of a Cafe and a reading area.

In 2000, the bookstore was a square-shaped building with its entrance at the West. The service desk was there towards its extreme right, crossing the sections for travel and new books. Most area of the store was occupied by books on fiction: at the North and towards the North-east. Non-fiction books were arranged to the South, towards the East of the service desk. At the centre, there were books on cookery, hobbies and art.

The first major change as a part of re-arrangement is seen at the centre, when the area is seen cleared up for reading. The area for fiction at North is seen shrunken by a quarter of its previous size. Books on art, cookery and hobbies occupied the other three portions. The area in the North-east, where fiction books were there in 2000, is seen occupied by non-fiction books now. At the place where the non-fiction books were seen, a café came to existence.

Sample 10:

The two maps illustrate the layout of a bookstore in 2000 and the present day.

Overall, while the core structure of the bookstore remains the same, there have been some noteworthy changes in the arrangement of bookshelves and the addition of a café and tables.

In 2000, the largest section in the bookstore was allocated to fiction books, located on both sides of the store. Non-fiction books occupied the space at the bottom right corner, while genres such as travel, art, hobbies, and cookery were arranged in the middle part of the store. A section labeled “new books” was placed near the entrance, along with a service desk on the left-hand side.

In contrast, the current layout has undergone several modifications. The fiction section has been reduced in size, and the space previously occupied by non-fiction books is now a café. The non-fiction section has been moved to the top right corner, replacing part of the old fiction area. In the center of the store, three tables have been introduced, creating a more communal space. Additionally, the sections for travel, art, hobbies, and cookery books have remained in the same area, but their positions have been slightly adjusted.

The line graph shows the number of people who used different communication services in the world.  Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant. Write at least 150 words. (ảnh 1)

Sample 1:

The line graph gives data about the number of users of five different communication services worldwide from 1998 to 2008.

Overall, all services experienced some growth over the 10-year period, with cell phone and Internet services experiencing the most growth and becoming the most popular forms of communication.

In 1998, the figures for cell phone and Internet users started at around 5% of the population. They both increased over the remaining years, with cell phone service gaining the highest position in 2008, with more than 60% percent of the population using this type of service. This number was approximately three times as much as that of Internet service in the same year.

Meanwhile, throughout the 10-year period, little change was seen in the use of landline services, at about 15% of the population. Also, the use of mobile and fixed broadband services was minimal before 2002. The figures for these two services rose slightly to roughly 5% of the population by the last year.

Sample 2:

The line graph gives data about the number of users of 5 different communication services worldwide from 1998 to 2008.

Overall, cell phone and Internet services became more and more popular, and others similarly experienced minimal growth over the years.

In 1998, the figures for cell phone and Internet users started at around 5 per 100 inhabitants. They both increased over the remaining years, with cell phone service gaining the higher position in 2008, at more than 60 users per 100 in habitants. This number was approximately three times as much as that of Internet service in the same year.

Meanwhile, throughout this 10-year period, little change was seen in the use of the landline service, with about 15 users per 100 inhabitants. Also, mobile and fixed broadband had yet to be introduced by 2002. The figures for these two services rose slightly to roughly 5 users per 100 inhabitants in the last year.

Sample 3:

The line graph illustrates the number of people in the world who used five categories of communication services at two-year intervals from 1998 to 2008.

Overall, although all kinds of communication services tended to grow during the entire time period, only the increase in popularity in cellular phone service was significantly higher than the rise in that of other means of communication.

In 1998, the figure for cellular phone service was round about 500 people, as same as Internet service’s. From 1998, the number of individuals using cellular phone services increased dramatically to exactly 6000 people and became the most common means of communication in the year 2008. Additionally, the figure for Internet service was about five times higher than during the period of 10 years.

With 1500 people used, the figure for landline service was the highest number in 1998. However, that figure had a minor increase to 2000 people in 2006 before it dropped slightly to approximately 1800 people in 2008. The figure for mobile broadband and fixed broadband remained nearly 0 throughout the first six-year period. They were also the least popular kinds of communication services despite rising up to 500 people in 2008.
