the energy from waves




The pictures illustrate how energy is produced by waves and where the machines should be located.  Overall, it can be seen from the digram that the process of making energy from waves, involves airflow, turbines and generator.  The location of the machines will affect the cost of installation and the mount of electricity which is produced.

To make energy from waves, there are several stages. Firstly, the waves enter the lowered chamber, which causes the water level.  At the same time, the airflow spins the turbine, which is connected to the generator.  This produce the electricity.  The process repeats.

Regarding the locations of machines, if the machines are installed near the ahore, the cost will cheap compared to off shore locations.  However, the machines placed near the beach produce less electricitu than off shore locations.

sport club member

The table below shows the results of survey to find out what members of a city sports club think about the club's activities, facilities and opening hours.
sample answer from books :
The table compares the opinions of male and female club members about the services provided by a city sports club.  Overall, it can be seen from the table that most respondents are happy with all three aspects of the club.  Female members are most unhappy eith the range of activities while male members feel that opening hours are the least satisfactory aspect of the club.

We can see from the response that the male members are generally happy or satisfied with the range activities at the club, with only 5% dissatisfied.  In contrast, however, only about two-third of female members were positive about the activity range and almost a third were dissatisfied.

The genders were more in agreement about the club facilities.  Only 14% of women and 10% of men were unhappy with these, and the majority (64 and 64% respectively) were very  positive.

Finally, the female respondents were much happier with the club opening hours than their male counterparts.  Almost three -quarters of them were very satisfied with these and only 3% were unhappy, whreas nearly 40% of the men expressed their dissatisfaction.

Number of tourists visiting UK





The line graph compares the number of tourist to and from the United Kingdom from 1979 to 1999, and the bar chart shows the most popular overseas destinations for British people in 1999. Overall, looking at the charts as a whole, it can be seen that the trend for both travel to and from the UK increased and the number of travellers who came from the UK is higher than who visit the UK. The most popular destination country for British people is France.

The number of people who travelled to and from the UK rose. In 1979, the traveller to and from the UK is not very different, at 10 million and 12 million people respectively. The trend did not change very much until 1984. In 1999, the number of visits to UK reached a little under 30 million, and the number of traveller from UK reached over 50 million people.

The countries that people from UK most like to visit are France and Spain with around 11 million and 9 million respectively. Other popular countries to visit include USA, Greece and Turkey with between 2 and 4 million British visitors in `1999.(GP)

It is not about Rainfall, but also it is related to dry season

 The chart illustrates the comparison between rainfall in each month for the last six months in 2014 and the average rainfall in Melbourne. Overall, it can seen that the average rainfall is higher that the actual rainfall per month except June.

 Looking at the details, July was the driest month with a rainfall of only approximately 20 mm. In contrast, the average rainfall in the same month is far higher, with about 50 mm. Other dry months included May, August and September had actual rainfall at roughly 35 mm, but the average rainfall was recorded at 55, 50, and 60 mm respectively.

On the other hand, the wettest months this year were in June and October with a little over 50 mm. In June the average rainfall was approximately the same but in October was slightly higher by 10 mm. In addtion, the highest average rainfall was in October. (LF-BY-GP)


The bar chart compares the average rainfall and actual rainfall which was recorded in Melbourne over the last six months, from May to October 2014. Overall, it can be seen from the chart that the average rainfall was higher than the actual one, except in June 2014.

 In May 2014, the average rainfall stood at around 55 mm, while at the same time, the real rainfall was noted at about 35 mm. In June, the average rainfall dropped slightly to 50 mm whereas there was a significant increase in the actual rainfall at 53 mm which was higher that the average one. Although the average rainfall remained constant at 50 mm as the previous month, the real rainfall decline dramatically to just under 20 mm in July. After that, both the average and the actual rainfall had experienced a steady rise for three months, from August until October. The actual rainfall was recorded at 35 mm in August and September, and finished just over 50 mm in October. Meanwhile, the average rainfall recorded at 50 mm in August and ended to 65 mm in October.

Cockroaches and Dry Weather

    The picture illustrates how common shining cockroaches turn up in bathrooms of people's homes. Overall, it can be seen that most cockroaches migrate to the humid places when the outside conditions and weather continue to be dry.
    To begin with, during the dry conditions, gardeners collect mulch in order to keep the soil being moist. In mulch, cockroaches live and survive. Owing to dry weather continued, cockroaches look for the wet places, then move to toilets in the houses, through either pipelines or ground toward air ventilation hole.
   Besides common shinning cockroaches, there are other bugs such as lerps, aphids, common butterflies and bush flies which also appear in because their nutrients concentrate in abnormal plants. In addition to that, in the same conditions, bush flies end up from the nothern winds. (RP-DAR)
 
   The picture illustates how common shining cockroach move from outside the house to the bathroom. There are various stages, beginning from mulch that contain of cockroach is taken to the garden until the cockroach come to the bathroom.
   Firstly, in a dry weather, the gardener takes mulch to the garden near the house in order to reduce evaporation. The cockroaches that live in the mulch are also brought to the garden. If the dry weather continuing for a long time, the cockroaches try to find another humid place that is conducive to live in. As a results, the cockroaches migrate to the bathroom through the pipeline and thrive in the humid damp conditions.
  Besides the cockroaches, the mulch also contains other bugs such as lerps, aphids, butterflies and bush flies. Thus, in a long dry season those kind of bugs are also apppear in the garden. (RO-FH-R)

Horse Evolution (IELTS Task 1 - Process)




            The pictures illustrate how the horse has evolved from its pregistoric anchestor to the contemporary horse through four stages, beginning at forty million years age, then 30 million years ago, fifteen million years later and finally the modern horse. There is special attention given to the shape of the foot which is shown in separate places in the picture to highlight its changes.
            Looking at these pictures as a whole, during the process of the evolution of the horse, it has increased on size and the modern horse is two times bigger than the horse at the first stage. Also, it has grown hair along the back of the head and neck, called a mane, and the tail is longer. In addition to that, the foot has changed from five toes to a single toe, nomely a hoof.
            The first period of the time, at forty million years ago, the horse, which had the of the if compared smallest body and the shortest tail with no hair seen on the back of the head, was known as Eahippus. The stucture of the foot was made up of four toes with are shorter toe to the right. In the second stage the mesohippus era it had larger body and longer tail. It started to grow small mane and the foot consisted of two less toes than the horse of ten million years before. In the next stage, merychippus, living is million years in the past, was larger in size, had thicker mane land longer tail than both previous stages. The number of toes was still the some as mesohippus, but the middle of the toes was moderately longer than in the second stage. Last, the modern horse was the largest physical specimen the longest tail and the thickest mane over the all stages. Its ears were also more pointed than three stages before. Moreover, the modern horse had one big foot without toes, called a hoof, which seem different compared to its prehistoric predecessors. (Rp.54.121) RP

manufacturing tea

The picture depicts the two processes for manufacturing black tea.  The traditional way is used for making loose tea and the modern process is ideal for teabags.

When collecting tea, the tea picker picks only the two top leaves and the bud of each plant to ensure a high quality tea.  Then, the tea leaves go through wihering, where leaves are spread out and air is passed through them to remove up to 60 per cent of their moisture.

After that, the leaves are ready for rolling or cutting.  Factories use traditional methods of rolling and crushing or faster modern methods of cutting, tearing and curling to make teabags.  In both processes, natural enzymes are produced from the leaves.  The next step is oxidation, where the enzymes from the leaves mix with air.  This changes the colour of the leaves from green to copper and creates a nice flovour and aroma.  Finally, the leaves are fired and dried.  By this stage, little moisture remains in the tea - just three percent (173 words)

Modes of transport for goods in UK

The graph below shows the quantities of goods transported in the UK between 1974 and 2002 by four different modes of transport. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.
Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.
The line graph depicts the amount of goods carried by four types of transport in Great Britain from 1974 to 2002.  Three modes of transport, namely road, water and pipeline, showed an increase.  Rail, however, experienced a decrease for most of the time period, only picking up toward the end to finish at just above its starting position.  Road was the most important carrier, followed by water, then rail, and pipeline in last place.

In 1974, road transport accounted for about 70 million ton.  Its share then gradually increased until around 1995 when it stood at just under 80 million tons.  It then rose sharply to finally finish at a little below 100 million ton in 2002.

Water started at a bit below 40 million ton in 1974.  Then in 1978, it climbed steeply until about 1981, to just under 80 million tons.  it then rose sharply to finally finish at a little below 100 million tons in 2002.

Rail, on the other hand, after starting at 40 million tons in 1974, mostly declined until about 1995, by which time it has descended to a little below 30 million tons. It then changed course and went through a period of steady increase, regaining its original level to finish at just above 40 million tons by 2002. 
Pipeline transport was initially not a popular choice, standing at about 5 million tons in 1974, but then having three phases of relatively gentle increase, punctuated by two briefer spells of sharper increase. MH

European Fishing Village

The diagrams below show the development of a small fishing village and its surrounding area into a large European tourist resort. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.


The illustrations depict the transformation of a little European fishing village and the environment around it, into a large resort of tourists.

It is quickly evident that a great deal of development in the form of infrastructure and services for the tourist industry has radically transformed the original fishing village, and previous economic activities such as fishing, olive, sheep and goat farming have been replaced by a tourism economy (with greatly expanded population that fluctuates with tourist in and outflow)

The olive grove  in the centre of the picture in 1974, has been transformed into farmland providing fruit and vegetables for the many hotels that have appeared by 2004.

It is immediately apparent that subtantial development geared towards the tourist industry, in the form of infrastructure and services, has swamped the original sparsely populated fishing village, and replaced the fishing and farming activities. Alongside this economics and infrastructure development has come a greatly increased population, fluctuating depemding on tourist number.
