The diagram shows proposed changes to Foster Road.

Write a 150-word report


describing the proposed changes for a local committee.

The diagram shows proposals to transform Foster Road between SE 84th and 85th Avenue
into a tree-lined avenue that is safer for pedestrians and cyclists.
First of all, the planners propose to widen the sidewalk on both sides of the road and add
bicycle lanes. This will mean reducing the number of lanes for cars and other vehicles. A
pedestrian crossing will also be installed at the lower end of the street, near the gas station.
This crossing will include an island in the middle where people can wait in safety.
In addition to the safety measures above, planners also want to plant trees along both sides of
the road. These trees will transform the appearance of the neighbourhood as well as provide
vital extra shade for pedestrians.
To summarise, under these proposals, the needs of local residents will be better served by
making Foster Road a safer and more pleasant environment.

The diagram shows the skeletal systems of two ancestors of modern human beings.Write a
150-word report for a university lecturer describing the diagram and making comparisons
where relevant.
Variations in the skeletal systems of two early types of human are illustrated in this diagram.
Overall, we can see that australopithecus afarensis had a heavier body and much longer arms,
while homo erectus was slimmer and had more developed joints.
To begin with the upper half of the body, australopithecus afarensis had a much broader chest
and waist than homo erectus, giving it a rounder appearance. The former had much longer arms
and larger hands, which would have been useful for climbing trees.
As for the lower half of the body, we can see that homo erectus had proportionately longer legs
and larger hip, knee and ankle joints. The feet of homo erectus were also smaller and more
arched, with shorter toes. These differences meant that homo erectus was better suited to long-
distance running.
In conclusion, we can see significant changes in the development of early humans from the
diagram. Homo erectus is more similar to contemporary human beings with its long legs and
arched feet. The physical differences are clearly related to differences in the lifestyles of tree
climbers and endurance runners.
The bar chart shows the relative electricity consumption and cost per year of various
household devices.
Write a 150-word report for a university lecturer explaining the data and making
comparisons where relevant.

The bar chart compares the energy consumption and expense of operating 16 different items of
household equipment. Overall, we can see significant differences in both cost and consumption.
To begin with, there are some common household items which consume relatively little energy.
These include an electric blanket (approx. $10 or 100kwh/year), a microwave oven (approx. $15 or
150kwh/year) and a television (approx. $17 or 170kwh/year).
By contrast, devices that might be classified as ‘luxury’ items such as a pool pump or spa are
comparatively expensive and energy-intensive, at nearly $125 or 1500kwh/year and around $190 or
2225kwh/year respectively.
It is interesting to note that even among household items normally considered alike, such as a
microwave and refrigerator, there are enormous discrepancies in cost and energy use. The former
uses only around $15 or 150kwh/year, while the latter consumes at least six times that amount at
$90 or 1150kwh/year.
In conclusion, it appears that there is no clear pattern in the relative energy consumption of
domestic equipment, although households had better be aware of the high running costs of luxury
items such as a pool pump and spa.

The chart below shows the percentage change in the share of international students among
university graduates in different Canadian provinces between 2001 and 2006. Summarise
the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where
relevant.

The chart shows changes in the share of international students who graduated from universities in
different Canadian provinces over a period of 5 years.

In 2001, this share had a relatively narrow range, from 3% in Ontario to 7.0% in New Brunswick.
Nova Scotia had the second highest proportion at 6.5%. Five years later, the figures for most
provinces had risen, with the exception of Alberta. There, the figures fell by 1% to just over 4%.

By 2006, some parts of Canada experienced a considerable increase in their share of international
graduates. Growth in this share was especially strong in the case of New Brunswick, where the
figures rose from 7% to 12%. The largest growth occurred in British Columbia, where it more than
doubled to 11%.

Over this five-year period, changes in the proportion of international graduates have been very
uneven across the provinces of Canada. However, New Brunswick remained the province with the
highest percentage overall.
