Writing Task 2 (Main)


It is argued by some that the most crucial subject to learn by students is history, while
others claim that science and technology are more imperative to learn than such a subject.
Although history lead the students to foster their patriotism, I believe that science and
technology will sharpen their better future career.
On the one hand, by learning the history, pupils can be aware about the endeavour of
their country’s development. It is because through acquiring the knowledge of history field,
students can commemorate the hardship of their ancestors, in order to maintain the fruitfulness
of their country. In Indonesia, for example, an annual ceremony on August 17th is held to highlight
citizen’s attention, regardless the school children, aiming to increase the awareness about
historical independence of their nation. However, such kind of study can be gained through some
sources, beside at school.
On the other hand, deepening understanding of science and technology is perceived as
right road to brighten students’ career. It is mainly because majority people’s ease in this
millennial era rely on those studies, hence having sufficient training and broad experience related
subjects is heavily demanding in many sectors. An article of New York Times in 2015 published
that the ten richest people in the world are those who are seeking in science and technological
field such as Microsoft, Facebook, etc. Therefore, it is truly agreed that bolding science and
technology subjects at school is essential to pursue a better career.
In conclusion, even though history can be heightening the students’ awareness about
their nation, preparing a better future is more related to science and technology.

Writing Task 1 (Optional)


A snapshot of four distinguished modes of transportation in UK from 1974 to 2002
regarding the mass of good is presented in the line graph. Overall, transportation by road and
water were the two main preferences. In any case, some changes were seen during the observed
period.
Initially, goods transported by road was the most common method. Its rate accounted for
70 million tonnes, and was by far the highest. Apparently, the line of water and rail showed a
virtual usage for transporting goods, at about 40 million tonnes. However, the former transport
widened out the gap to over 60 million tonnes eventually while a less marked growth was seen
in the latter one. This trend was followed by pipeline, the smallest usage of goods transport
within eight years, contributed to just below 10 million tonnes in 1974.
In the timeline, road modes fluctuated until reaching virtually 100 million tonnes, with
quantities rising and falling twice during the time period. The same change were seen in goods
transportation by rail and water, even though the aforementioned mode is more frequent to
decrease. Those rate is in stark to pipeline transport, having a stable increase during the surveyed
period.
