The graph shows how the amount of water used worldwide changed between 1900 and 2000.

Throughout the century, the largest quantity of water was used for agricultural purposes, and this increased dramatically from about 500 km3 to around 3,000 km3 in the year 2000. Water used in the industrial and domestic sectors also increased, but consumption was minimal until mid-century. From 1950 onwards, industrial use grew steadily to just over 1,000 km3, while domestic use rose more slowly to only 300 km3, both far below the levels of consumption by agriculture.

The table illustrates the differences in agricultural consumption in some areas of the world by contrasting the amount of irrigated land in Brazil (26,500 km2) with that in the (100 km2). This means that a huge amount of water is used in agriculture in Brazil, and this is reflected in the figures for water consumption per person: 359 m3 compared with only 8 m3 in the Congo. With a population of 176 million, the figures for Brazil indicate how high agricultural water consumption can be in some countries.

剑桥大学作文 第2篇

首先，我们还是审题（如果你不看题，直接看文章，你会爱上这篇范文）。

题目是：Some people say that the main environmental problem of our time is the loss of particular species of plants and animals. Others say that there are more important environmental both these views and give your own opinion.

大意：

一些人说，我们这个时代的主要环境问题是特定物种的植物和动物的消失。其他人认为还有更重要的环境问题。讨论这两种观点并给出你自己的观点。我们现在看看范文的第一段。

Some people consider that the loss of individual species of plants and animals is the main environmental problem of our time. Attempts to preserve rare or dying species are carried out in zoos or other specialist plant and animal facilities, throughbreeding programmes, preservation orders and other forms of protection and there was genuine sadness among many when the last surviving white rhino died earlier this year.

大意：一些人认为动植物个体物种的消失是我们这个时代的主要环境问题。为了保护稀有或濒临灭绝的物种，人们在动物园或其他专门的植物和动物设施中进行繁殖项目、保护令和其他形式的保护。当今年年初最后一只幸存的白犀牛死亡时，许多人都感到非常悲伤。（这种例子你敢写进作文里？）

本来这里应该是首段，但是文章已经开始论述了。证明这篇文章压根就没有开头段，如果我和学生说你可以模仿考官作文不写开头段 ？你敢吗？

这个倒没什么。最主要的是段落的中心句说的是物种消失是个大问题，但是后面一句话说的确实保护动物的事情，这个不仅跑题，而且也背离了中心句。然后诡异的是，段落最后一句话又举了一个例子，关于白犀牛的死亡，这个和第二句是相反的。

紧接着在第二段直接论证了有有哪些其他的问题值得我们关注，一个是climate change一个是the use of plastic . 甚至上下两个段连个过渡都没有，直接就开始对climate change 的影响进行论证。倒数第二段对plastic的影响进行了论证。结尾段也很诡异，前面说了动植物的消失是最严重的环境问题。后面说的是如果全球变暖和塑料的问题持续，我们会有更少的food？？？这也太随意了吧。food从哪里来的观点？？

在考场上，这样一个作文，TR和CC这两个作文评分标准是很难拿到高分的。即便语言很好，LR和GRA是9，最后分数也就是分。话说回来，咱们中国学生有几个人可以拿到LR和GRA9分的，能拿到8分就不错了。那么一个语言有8分的中国学生，模仿这样的范文，最后考出一个分，这不是悲哀吗？

The chart below shows the amount of leisure time enjoyed by men and women of different employment status.

Write a report for a university lecturer describing the information shown below.

The chart shows the number of hours of leisure enjoyed by men and women in a typical week in 1998-9, according to gender and employment status.

Among those employed full-time, men on average had fifty hours to leisure, whereas women had approximately thirty-seven hours. There were no figures given for male part-time workers, but female part-time had forty hours of leisure time, only slightly more than women in full-time employment, perhaps reflecting their work in the home.

In the unemployed and retired categories, leisure time showed an increase for both sexes, as might have been expected. Here too, men enjoyed more leisure time—over eighty hours, compared with seventy hours for women, perhaps once again reflecting the fact that women spend more time working in the home than men.

Lastly, housewives enjoyed approximately fifty-four hours of leisure, on average. There were no figures given for househusbands! Overall, the chart demonstrates that in the categories for which statistics on male leisure time were available, men enjoyed at least ten hours of extra leisure time. (173 words)

The chart below shows the amount of money per week spent on fast foods in Britain. The graph shows the trends in consumption of fast-foods.

Write a report for a university lecturer describing the information shown below.

(Model answer 165 words)

The chart shows that high income earners consumed considerably more fast foods than the other income groups, spending more than twice as much on hamburgers (43 pence per person per week) than on fish and chips or pizza(both under 20 pence). Average income earners also favoured hamburgers,spending 33 pence per person per week, followed by fish and chips at 24 pence,then pizza at 11 pence. Low income earners appear to spend less than otherincome groups on fast foods, though fish and chips remains their most popularfast food, followed by hamburgers and then pizza.

From the graph we can see that in 1970, fish and chips were twice as popular asburgers, pizza being at that time the least popular fast food. The consumption ofhamburgers and pizza has risen steadily over the 20 year period to 1990 while theconsumption of fish and chips has been in decline over that same period with aslight increase in popularity since 1985.

Astronauts aboard the space station Celebrated a space first on Wednesday by drinking water that had been recycled from their urine and sweat and water that condenses from exhaled air. They said “cheers” ，clicked drinking bags and toasted NASA workers on the ground who were sipping their own version of recycled drinking water.

The recycling system is needed for astronaut stations on the moon and Mars. It also will save NASA money because it won’ t have to ship up as much water to the station by space shuttle or cargo , it’ s important as the space station is about to expand from three people living on board to six.

The recycling system had been brought up to the space station last November by space shuttle Endeavour, but it couldn’ t be used until samples were tested back on Earth. So when it came time to actually drink up, NASA made a big deal of it. The three?man crew stood, holding their drinks and congratulated engineers in two NASA centers that worked on the system.

“This is something that had been the stuff of science fiction，” Barratt said before taking a small mouthful. “The taste is worth trying.”

NASA deputy space shuttle manager LeRoy Cain called it “a huge milestone”．

The new system takes the combined urine of the crew from the toilet, moves it to a big tank, where the water is boiled off, and the vapor is collected. The rest of the urine is thrown away. The water vapor is mixed with water from air condensation, and then it goes through filters. When six crew members are aboard it can make about six gallons from urine in about six hours.

“Some people may find the idea of drinking recycled urine distasteful, but it is also done on Earth with a lot longer time between urine and the tap”said Marybeth Edeen, the space station’s national lab manager.

The technology NASA developed for this system has already been used for quick water purification after the 2004 Asian tsunami, Edeen said.

“We are happy to have this water work through the system — we’ re happy to have it work through our systems，”Barratt said.

The Stars of the Future

A Existing management research does not tell usmuch about how to find and develop high-flyers,those people who have the potential to reach thetop of an organisation. As a result, organisations areleft to formulate their own systems. A moreeffective overall policy for developing future leadersis needed, which is why the London Business Schoolhas launched the Tomorrows Leaders ResearchGroup (TLRG). The group contains representativesfrom 20 firms, and meets regularly to discuss theleadership development of the organisations high-flyers.

B TLRG recognises just how significant line managers are in the process of . Unfortunately, with todays flat organisations, where managers have functionalas well as managerial responsibilities, people development all too often falls victim to heavyworkloads. One manager in the research group was unconvinced by the logic of sending hisbest people away on development courses, only to see them poached by another departmentor, worse still, another firm. This fear of losing high-flyers runs deep in the organisations thatmake up the research group.

C TLRG argues that the task of management is not necessarily about employee retention,but about creating attraction centres. We must help line managers to realise that if theircompanies are known as ones that develop their people, they will have a greater appeal tohigh-flyers, said one advisor. Furthermore, selecting people for, say, a leadership is a sign of commitment from management to an individual. Loyalty can then bemore easily demanded in return.

D TLRG has concluded that a companys HR specialists need to take action and engagewith line managers individually about their role in the development of high-flyers. Indeed, inorder to benefit fully from training high-flyers as the senior managers of the future, firmsmust actually address the development of all managers who will be supporting the this, managers will not be in a position to give appropriate advice. And wheneventually the high-flyers do move on, new ones will be needed to replace them. The nextchallenge will be to find a new generation of high-flyers.

As a result of constant media attention, sports professionals in my country have become stars and celebrities, and those at the top are paid huge salaries. Just like movie stars, they live extravagant lifestyles with huge houses and cars.

Many people find their rewards unfair, especially when comparing these super salaries with those of top surgeons or research scientist, or even leading politicians who have the responsibility of governing the country. However, sports salaries are not determined by considering the contribution to society a person makes, or the level of responsibility he or she holds. Instead, they reflect the public popularity of sport in general and the level of public support that successful stars can generate. So the notion of ‘fairness’ is not the issue.

Those who feel that sports stars’ salaries are justified might argue that the number of professionals with real talent is very few, and the money is recognition of the skills and dedication a person needs to be successful. Competition is constant and a player is tested every time they perform in their relatively short career. The pressure from the media is intense and there is little privacy out of the spotlight. So all of these factors may justify the huge earnings.

Personally, I think that the amount of money such sports stars make is more justified than the huge earnings of movie stars, but at the same time, is indicates that our society places more value on sport than on more essential professions and achievements.

This model has been prepared by an examiner as an example of a very good answer. However, please note that this is just one example out of many possible approaches.

The relative importance of natural talent and training is a frequent topic of discussion when people try to explain different levels of ability in, for example, sport, art or music.

Obviously, education systems are based on the belief that all children can effectively be taught to acquire different skills, including those associated with sport, art or musicSo from our own school experience, we can find plenty of evidence to support the view that a child can acquire these skills with continued teaching and guided practice.

However, some people believe that innate talent is what differentiates a person who has been trained to play a sport or an instrument, from those who become good players. In other words, there is more to the skill than a learned technique, and this extra talent cannot be taught, no matter how good the teacher or how frequently a child practices.

I personally think that some people do have talents that are probably inherited via their genes. Such talents can give individuals a facility for certain skills that allow them to excel, while more hard-working students never manage to reach a comparable , as with all questions of nature versus nurture, they are not mutually exclusive. Good musicians or artists and exceptional sports stars have probably succeeded because of both good training and natural talent. Without the natural talent, continuous training would be neither attractive nor productive, and without the training, the child would not learn how to exploit and develop their talent

In conclusion, I agree that any child can be taught particular skills, but to be really good in areas such as music, art or sport, then some natural talent is required.

The bar chart shows the percentage of services arriving on time from 1999 to 2003. From the chart, one pattern shows that the actual percentage exceeded target percentage only in 2003, and the highest actual percentage occurred 1999 and lowest occurred 2000. In 5 years the tendency of target percentage was decreasing while the actual percentage fluctuated.

According to the first chart, the year 2000 had about difference between actual and target which is the highest disparity, and the year 2003 had the lowest gap of about the actual over target. From the second chart we can see that there were 40 thousand more complaints between the year with the highest number of complaints and year with the lowest number complaints. But if we consider the connection between both charts, in the year 1999 we had the lowest complaints in the bar and highest in 2003, which was dramatically strange since the year 2003 had the most complaints but it was the only year the actual percentage surpassed the target percentage.

International media such as TV network and magazine always gives people in an information age mixed feelings. Like many other things, media is double-edged.

As primary channels of information, TV and magazine are convenient and economic sources of information for knowledge, entertainment, and shopping. Interestingly, sometimes the same piece of information varies considerably in its influences on audiences of different age. For example, in a TV commercial, a beautiful lady promotes a certain brand of perfume, which supposablely makes girls more attractive to boys. For potential grownup buyers, the ad is useful because they might be spending time searching for such products. We save time in shopping and making decision by making use of such advertisements. However, a teenage girl might get the wrong idea about the concept of perfume. She could get money from her parents to buy the advertised product. Worse yet, she might use the sex appeal strategy employed in the commercial to get ahead in the future. This is classic bad influence of media for young people’s overspending and inappropriate behaviors.

However, we find it very difficult to weight between merits and problems of media because they are often closely incorporated. For instance, violent scenes in movies are believed to be partially responsible for violence-related crimes, particularly those committed by young people. But on the contrary, such movies also give people a channel to release their anger, anxiety, and pressure. Moreover, these movies show us bad and evil as well as punishments for wrongdoings. Imagine we live in a world whose media is completely clean in such sense. The dark side of media does not disappear just because we do not talk about it. Nevertheless certain kinds of information such as * are better kept away from young people.

In conclusion, media should not be seen sim* as bad or good because we need to use information properly to the best of our ability. But for certain segments of viewers, we should be very careful with regard to the content of information and take measures to keep viewers from possible harmful influences of media.
