Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant. You should write at least 150 words.
model answer: The graph shows the value of fuel, food, manufactured goods and the total value of exports in one country from 2000 to 2005. As we can see the total value of exports grows up during last four years. In year 2000; 2001 and 2002 the total export was droping down, but after that situation gets better and the total export in year 2005 is nearly 450,000 million dollars. We can see that the export of food is almost the same for all years, every year below 10,000 millions dollars. The export of fuel in year 2000 was about 45.000 million dollars but it was
getting down and in year 2005 was only half this amount, what is mean 20.000 millions dollars. Manufactured food in the year 2000 was a little below 20.000 millions dollers and in the year 2005 a little above 20.000 million dollars. (145 words) You should spend about 40 minutes on this task. Tests and examinations are a central feature of school systems in many countries. Do you think the educational benefits of testing outweigh any disadvantages? Give reasons for your answer, and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience. You should write at least 250 words. model answer: Much could be said about different ways of testing or checking students at schools or universities. The most popular ones have always caused been causing very exciting discussions and debates around the world. We all do realise that teachers need to have a system that helps them to test their students knowledge, so they can see how effective their teaching methods are. The question is do we really need to put so much pressure on these features? Are they really so effective? The first thing about tests and exams is, that they do check the level of information the students managed to learn from the lectures. The questions usually cover the area that has been thought at school, so if students can answer them correctly it means that the teaching was successful. The other, equally important aspect is, that due to the tests or exams that students are facing at school they get motivated to study more, in order to get better marks and to improve their knowledge. Sometimes it might be just the fact that it is called an exam, that makes students get together and study harder. On the other hand, some students might feel discouraged by the same fact that makes the others motivated what of course results in low marks in the actual exam. They also think that the results are very often not relevant to their efforts they put into studying. Because the marking system is not fair, they just do not feel like studying more for the exam. Furthermore, many students find the exams of different kinds very stressful, especially the school ones. They often think that there could be another way of testing, less stressful, that should be introduced in schools or universities. The supporters of this opinion often bring out the fact, that most of students start smoking actually because of the stress they are exposed to at school. And that is definitely not beneficial for you or your health. To put things together, is there really such a big need for exams at schools? Is there really no other way to check how students effective are the teaching methods? That is of course not that easy, but still, I am deeply convinced that things can be changed. It requires all the involved sides to think and come up with new ideas that could later be put into schools and that wouldn’t be that stressful anymore, so students can actually start enjoying them.
