IELTS 13 - TEST 1 - WRITING TASK 1

The two provided maps illustrate the accessibility to a city hospital in two different years: 2007 and 2010.

In general, there were many important modifications in road access to the hospital by 2010. The primary difference involved intersections upgrades and the improvement of parking space and bus facilities.

The most striking change is the appearance of two roundabouts. The first one was constructed at the three-way conjunction of the Hospital Road and the Ring Road, which encircles the hospital. Whereas the second one was built at the four-way intersection of the Hospital Road and the City Road.

Another crucial modification is the enlargement of the parking space. Notably, a new public car parking area was constructed right beside the hospital on the East. It is also connected to the Ring Road. On the other hand, the old car park is slightly smaller and became a parking area for staff only.

Finally, the six bus stops along the Hospital Road were displaced by a large bus station, which was built nearby, on the West. It is accessible from both roundabouts.

Overall, after three years, road access to the hospital and the facilities were completely transformed.

Further, it raises the questions, what kinds of population policy should be applied in each nation? And, is there an ideal population structure for all contries?. From my perspective, there are more benefits than drawbacks for countries with a young population structure. As a young Vietnamese adutls, I consider my country as a prime example. Our situation has a number of advantages. Firstly, a large number of young citizens ensures a strong labour force, which is very important to the growth of gross domestic product (or GDP in short). According to a 2016 study of Hanoi National University, the young work force contributed approximately 70 per cent of GDP in Vietnam. Secondly, young labour can easily apply new technologies and science achievements in work, which may seem very challenging for some ...

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...
