1、The chart below shows the response of UK drivers to a survey conducted by the Market and Opinion Research Institute (MORI). The survey set out to discover the main causes of road accidents. Write report for a university lecturer describing the information below. You should write a minimum of 150 wor
2、ds.The chart/diagram provides a set of data, picturing/illustrating the main causes of road accidents according to the response made by British drivers to an opinion poll carried out by MORI. Although the reasons are under 6 different headings, they can be divided into two categories/groups: the obj
3、ective and the subjective.According to the provided information, we understand that four reasons are considered subjective. 70 percent of the respondents maintained that driving under the influence of alcohol was one of the main causes, and 60 percent thought that driving at excessive speed was to b

Two other factors(, driving when tired and driving too close to the vehicle in front,) - were held by 44 and 36 percent of those respondents respectively.For fewer of the drivers who took part in the survey, the objective factors could account for the traffic tragedies. They regarded as major

Meanwhile, we can find another outstanding feature, i. e. the subjective factors were more significant than the objective in causing road tragedies.Sample 2The p
7、ie chart below shows the average way in which foreign students learning English in London spend their money over the course of a week. Write report for a university lecturer describing the information below. You should write a minimum of 150 words.School fees 30%Rent and food 33%Underground 5%Study
8、material 5%Clothes 7%Provided is a pie diagram, outlining how international students who took English language courses in London spent their money during a week. According to the statistical information, the cost is unevenly distributed among the six items.From the diagram, we can understand that th
9、e cost of living (rent and food) accounted for 33% of the total money. School tuition cost students almost the same amount of money. It is another significant single cost, occupying 30%. The rest 37% of the whole sum covered the cost on 4 items, with 20% for entertainment, 7% for clothing, 5% for st
10、udy materials, and 5% for underground transportation respectively.Drawing on the above discussions, it can be seen obviously that the cost is unevenly distributed among the six items. Another apparent feature is that students spent more on life than on study. .that the cost on the items relevant to
11、life went higher than that on those items directly pertaining to study.The table below gives information about changes in modes of travel in England between 1985 and 2000.Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevantProvided is a set of d
12、ata, demonstrating/outlining how the traveled distance in different modes changed in England in 15 years spanning from 1985 to 2000. In general, the modes are classified/divided into two groups/categories: one enjoyed rising popularity whereas the other seemed to be less welcomed by travelers. to ho
13、ld less appeal/attraction to travelers.The travel modes which gained popularity included cars, long distance buses, trains, taxis and others. Among them, cars remained at the top in the 15 years, with its average miles increasing considerably from 3,199 in 1985 to 4,806 in 2000. Long distance buses
14、and taxis seemed to be warmly welcomed by travelers, and the average miles traveled in these two modes almost tripled.Travels by walking, bicycles and local buses lost travelers favor in the one and a half decade. The average traveled distance by local buses suffered the biggest decrease, dropping f
15、rom 429 to 274, whilst the number of miles by walking and bikes fell mildly from 255 to 237 and from 51 to 41 respectively. In brief, the total traveling distance in the country grew from 4,740 miles to 6,475 miles in 15 years, though there appeared some decrease in the related distance.In brief, th
16、e total traveling distance in the country grew in 15 years from 4,740 to 6,475. The increase of cars accounted for almost all of that increase.Sample 1 Birth Rates in China and the USA The graph below compares changes in the birth rates of China and the USA between 1920 and 2000.Summarize the inform
17、ation by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant. Write at least 150 words.Birth Rates in China and the USAThe two lines in the graph represent the Chinese and US birth rates during the period from 1920 to 2000 respectively. As can be seen from the statistical
18、information in the graph, both nations saw/witnessed/underwent/experienced considerable fluctuations in fertility, with lows during the 1940s and heights during the 1950s.Chinas birth rate increased from about 10 percent in 1920 to 15 percent in 1935, and then dropped sharply to 5 percent in the 194
19、0s.This was followed by a period of exponential/outstanding/rapid growth, with the rate reaching a peak/summit/top of 20 percent in 1950. The second half of the century, however, brought a sustained decline in this figure.USAChinaBirth Rate(%)The US birth rate, meanwhile, fluctuated at somewhere bet
20、ween 11 and 13 percent prior to 1940, and then it dropped sharply to less than 5 percent in 1945. The following 5 years saw a rapid climb in this rate, to somewhere in the vicinity of/almost 15 percent in 1950. This was followed by a steady fall until 2000.In sum, both nations experienced the simila
21、r pattern of the change in birth rate during the 80 years. Another outstanding feature is that the rate of China dropped more rapidly than that of America after 1950.Sample 2 Crime in the UK The two figures below show the rate of criminal convictions among men and women of different ages in the UK a
22、nd the proportion of male and female prison inmates in the British prison system.Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant. Write at least 150 words.Criminal Convictions in the UK by Age and GenderAge of OffenderGender balance of Pris
23、on Inmates in the UKMaleFemale 4%Provided are two figures concerning criminality in Britain. The first one provides data on the rates of conviction among men and women of various ages, whilst the second indicates the gender balance of the UK prison population.It is apparent from the supplied informa
24、tion that the rate of conviction among Brits of both sexes increased exponentially/markedly/dramatically/drastically during adolescence and peaked at the age of about 20. Also evident is the fact that men were far more likely to offend /commit crimes than women. From 2 percent among 10-year-old boys
25、, the male conviction rate soared/rocketed to approximately 16 percent among the 20-year-olds. The percentage of female offenders, meanwhile, climbed from 0 percent among girls of 10 to some 5 percent among 20-year-olds. The subsequent decades, however, saw/witnessed/experienced/underwent dramatic d
26、ecreases in criminality among both sexes. A mere 2 percent of crimes were committed by 60-year-old men and 0 percent by women of the same age.FemaleMale 96%As for the proportion of male and female prison inmates, men outnumber women by 24 to 1. 96 percent of all prisoners are men, while the rest are
27、 female. This sharp difference/discrepancy is directly related to the fact that men overwhelmed women in committing crimes. The number of crimes committed by men is far more than that by women.Internet Use in Europe The figures below compare the number of internet users in several European nations a
28、s well as the prevalence of online shopping in these countries.Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

The first one outlines a comparison of internet users in five European countries in 1995, 2000 and 2004, whereas the second one illustrates the popularity of intern
30、et shopping in these countries.It is evident from the provided information that Britain had by far the largest number of internet users in all three years. From 16 million in 1995, the number of British users climbed steadily to 22 million in 2000, before soaring to a 41 million in 2004. Germany ran
31、ked second. This country saw a threefold increase during this period, from 5 million in 1995 to 14 million in 2000 and then to 15 million in 2004. A similar increase took place in France. The two nations with the fewest internet users were Switzerland and Spain.We can also note that internet shoppin
32、g was far more common in the UK than in any other country listed. In fact, the prevalence of internet shopping in Britain doubled that of Germany and tripled that of Switzerland. France and Spain had a moderate level of online shopping. In sum, the total number of internet users of those five countries started to boom in the decade from 1995 on. Another outstanding feature is that the more internet users in a country, the more popular online shopping is there.
