LINE GRAPH

The graph below shows the average number of UK commuters travelling each day by car, bus
or train between 1970 and 2030.

:
The line graph compares figures for daily travel by workers in the UK using three different
forms of transport over a period of 60 years.
It is clear that the car is by far the most popular means of transport for UK commuters
throughout the period shown. Also, while the numbers of people who use the car and train Commented [pbd1]: Đối tượng luôn cao nhất

increase gradually, the number of bus users falls steadily. Commented [pbd2]: Xu hướng

In 1970, around 5 million UK commuters travelled by car on a daily basis, while the bus
and train were used by about 4 million and 2 million people respectively. In the year 2000, Commented [pbd3]: Mô tả năm đầu

the number of those driving to work rose to 7 million and the number of commuting rail
passengers reached 3 million. However, there was a small drop of approximately 0.5 million
in the number of bus users. Commented [pbd4]: Mô tả xu hướng của 1 năm ở giữa và kèm

By 2030, the number of people who commute by car is expected to reach almost 9 million, Commented [pbd5]: Tính đến năm cuối cùng

and the number of train users is also predicted to rise, to nearly 5 million. By contrast, buses
are predicted to become a less popular choice, with only 3 million daily users. Commented [pbd6]: Tiếp đến xu hướng và kèm con số
TASK 2

Some people think that all teenagers should be required to do unpaid work in their free
time to help the local community. They believe this would benefit both the individual
teenager and society as a whole. Do you agree or disagree?
Many young people work on a volunteer basis, and this can only be beneficial for
both the individual and society as a whole. However, I do not agree that we should
therefore force all teenagers to do unpaid work. Commented [pbd7]: Lập trường

Most young people are already under enough pressure with their studies, without
being given the added responsibility of working in their spare time. School is just as Commented [pbd8]: Lí do 1

demanding as a full-time job, and teachers expect their students to do homework and
exam revision on top of attending lessons every day. When young people do have some
free time, we should encourage them to enjoy it with their friends or to spend it doing
sports and other leisure activities. They have many years of work ahead of them when
they finish their studies. Commented [pbd9]: Supporting ideas

At the same time, I do not believe that society has anything to gain from obliging
young people to do unpaid work. In fact, I would argue that it goes against the values of a Commented [pbd10]: Lí do 2

free and fair society to force a group of people to do something against their will. Doing
this can only lead to resentment amongst young people, who would feel that they were
being used, and parents, who would not want to be told how to raise their children.
Currently, nobody is forced to volunteer, and this is surely the best system.
In conclusion, teenagers may choose to work for free and help others, but in my
opinion we should not make this compulsory. Commented [pbd11]: Khẳng định lại lập trường
