IELTS 12 - TEST 6 - TASK 1 - SAMPLE 1

The first given map illustrates the centre of Islip at present, whereas the second one represents a proposal for its future development.

In general, there will be many changes, the planned town will looks essentially almost completely different than itself before. Notably, a circular Dual carriageway will enclose virtually the entire new town. Only the school and some housing in the far South will remain outside the new road.

Firstly, the countryside and the row of shops in the North, above the Main road will disappear. They will be replaced by many kinds of facilities: a bus station, shopping centre, car park and new building.

Secondly, after the town's development, a Pedestrians only would replace the Main road. However, below the Main road, the shops area, housing and the school will remain the same. In addition, the Park will be reduced in size, and the new housing area will be built beside it.

Overall, according to the planned development, there will be more facilities and more housing areas in Islip.

ETHAN FROME

By Edith Warton Chapter 1: BEGINNINGS Winter in Starkfield If you know Starkfield Massachusetts, you know the post office there. If you know the post office, you have probably seen Ethan Frome driving up to it in his buggy; and you have probably wondered who he was. It was there that, several years ago, I saw him for the first time. He was a noticeable figure. His tall, strong body was badly twisted, and much shorter on the right side than on the left. He moved slowly and painfully, pulling himself along. Just a few steps from his buggy to the post office were clearly difficult for him. His face has a sad, grim look. It was the face and body of an old man, and I was surprised to hear that that he was only fifty-two. I learnt this from Harmon Gow, a man who knew all the families around Starkfield. "He's been like that since his bad accident, nearly twenty-four years ago", said Harmon. "But Fromes don't die young, Ethan'll live to a hundred, probab...

HOW IT'S MADE BALLPOINT PENS

In a world where inexpensive disposable ballpoint pens are the norm. There are still discriminating people who prefer using a deluxe writing instrument. A fancy high quality ballpoint pen is as stylish as it is functional. It's often paired with a matching pencil, in an elegant gift set. Silver - plated, alligator leather chainmail, rose gold with crystals. Pen casing designs are endless. This model is decorated with lacquer made from the resin of a particular tree grows only in China. They apply it using a special brush - made of human hair. Coating the recessed areas of a brass pan casing create the effect of black stripes running the length of the pen. Once the resin dries, they washed the pens several times. And with a cotton wheel and some polishing compound they buff the lacquer to a high - gloss shine. Here's another model with an etch design - a computer guided machine engraves the fine intricate pattern with a diamond chisel. The casing is brass but they...

IELTS 13 - TEST 2 - TASK 1

The provided bar chart illustrates the proportion of accommodation owners and renters in England and Wales over a 93 - year period. The data is given in percentages, not absolute numbers. In general, there was a dramatic shift from renting to owning for virtually the entired period. However, that pattern broke down over the final 10-year period as house ownership began to decline. At the outset, in 1918, home owners made up barely more than 20 per cent of households. That number increased sharply and consistently until 2001. The two groups reached absolute parity in 1971, as each were 50 per cent. The trend continued unabated for the next 30 years, as home ownership reached a peak of nearly 70 percent. The final chart, by contrast reveals a break in the trend line which had moved in only one direction for more than 80 years. That 2011 chart showed a decline in home ownership and a slight rise in rental households.. Overall, a dramatic longterm trend in home ownersh...
