HOW TO WRITE WHEN TWO MAPS ARE GIVEN
The two maps illustrate the changes made to the road layout and parking facilities around City Hospital between 2007 and 2010.

Overall, the most significant developments were the expansion of parking facilities and the construction of a dedicated public transport access, reflecting a shift towards improved traffic flow and better separation of different types of vehicles.

In 2007, there was only one car park situated to the east of the hospital, which was used by both staff and the public. Access to the hospital was provided via a single road running from the main city road, with no dedicated bus facilities.

By 2010, however, several notable modifications had been implemented. The original car park was converted exclusively for staff, while a new, separate public car park was built to the east of the hospital, adjacent to the main road. Furthermore, a dedicated bus station was constructed on the west side of the hospital, linked to the main road by a new roundabout, improving accessibility for public transport users. An additional roundabout was also added at the hospital entrance, facilitating smoother traffic circulation.

In summary, between 2007 and 2010, City Hospital underwent major infrastructural changes, focusing on separating parking areas and enhancing public transport access to manage traffic more efficiently.

WRITING A PROCESS
The diagram illustrates the process by which bamboo is transformed into fabric suitable for textile use. Overall, the procedure consists of seven main stages, beginning with raw bamboo and culminating in the production of ready-to-use fabric.

Initially, bamboo plants are harvested and cut into small pieces, which are then crushed to facilitate further processing. These crushed pieces are soaked in a solution of sodium hydroxide, a chemical treatment that breaks down the bamboo fibres into a pulpy material. Following this, the pulp is thoroughly rinsed to remove any residual chemicals.

The cleaned pulp undergoes a drying stage, resulting in thin, paper-like sheets. These sheets are subsequently ground and processed into a soft, cotton-like fibre, which can then be spun into yarn. In the final stage, this yarn is woven to produce bamboo fabric, which is ready for use in clothing or other textile products.

In summary, bamboo fabric production involves a combination of mechanical and chemical processes, transforming raw plant material into a versatile textile through stages of crushing, chemical treatment, drying, spinning, and weaving.

The bar chart illustrates the frequency of fast food consumption among Americans in 2003, 2006 and 2013, divided into six categories ranging from daily consumption to those who never ate fast food.

Overall, the majority of people ate fast food either once or twice a week or once a month during the surveyed years, while daily and never categories consistently accounted for the smallest proportions.

In 2003 and 2006, the most common frequency was once or twice a week, reported by roughly one third of respondents, before declining slightly in 2013. Conversely, those eating fast food once a month increased steadily, from about 30% in 2003 to nearly 33% in 2013, making it the most common choice in that year. Weekly consumption several times a week remained relatively stable at around 15–20% across all three years.

Less frequent patterns, including a few times a year and never eating fast food, attracted comparatively smaller proportions, fluctuating between 3% and 15%. Daily consumption was consistently the least popular, with only around 4% of people following this pattern throughout the period.

In summary, although Americans largely avoided extreme behaviours such as eating fast food daily or never consuming it, there was a clear shift from weekly to monthly consumption between 2003 and 2013.

The diagram illustrates the process involved in the manufacture of instant noodles, showing eight distinct stages from the initial storage of raw materials to the final packaging of the product.

Overall, the production is a fully mechanized and linear process that begins with flour storage and ends with the labeling and sealing of noodle cups. Several ingredients and processing techniques are combined to transform raw flour into a ready-to-eat product.

The process starts with flour being delivered and stored in large silos. From there, it is transferred to a mixer, where it is combined with water and oil to form a dough. This dough is then passed through a series of rollers to produce flat sheets, which are subsequently cut into strips. These strips are molded into circular noodle discs and proceed to the next stage, where they are cooked in oil and then dried.

After cooking and drying, the noodle discs are placed into individual cups. At this point, vegetables and spices are added to enhance the flavor of the final product. The final stage involves sealing and labeling the cups, which are then ready for distribution.

This step-by-step industrial process ensures consistency, hygiene, and efficiency in the mass production of instant noodles.

The line graph illustrates the proportion of people aged 65 and over in the USA, Sweden, and Japan between 1940 and 2040.

Overall, all three countries show an upward trend in the elderly population, with Japan experiencing the sharpest rise after 2000 and projected to have the highest percentage by 2040.

In 1940, the USA had the largest elderly population, at around 9%, followed by Sweden (7%) and Japan (5%. Over the next 40 years, both the USA and Sweden saw gradual increases, reaching around 15% and 14% respectively by 1980, while Japan’s figure declined slightly to about 4%.

From 2000 onwards, the percentage of older people in Japan began to climb sharply, overtaking both Sweden and the USA by around 2030. By 2040, Japan is projected to have the highest proportion, at approximately 27%, compared to about 23% in Sweden and 23% in the USA.

In summary, although the USA had the highest proportion of elderly people in 1940, Japan is expected to lead by 2040, with all three countries showing significant ageing trends.

Our best research tells us that deep reading is an essential skill for the development of intellectual, social, and emotional intelligence in today’s children. In our increasingly digital world – where many children spend more time on social media and gaming than just about any other activity – do children have any hope of becoming deep readers?

A Letter From Abraham Lincoln To His Son’s Teacher

My son starts school today. It is all going to be strange and new to him for a while and I wish you would treat him gently. It is an adventure that might take him across continents. All adventures that probably include wars, tragedy and sorrow. To live this life will require faith, love and courage.

So dear Teacher, will you please take him by his hand and teach him things he will have to know, teaching him – but gently, if you can. Teach him that for every enemy, there is a friend. He will have to know that all men are not just, that all men are not true. But teach him also that for every scoundrel there is a hero, that for every crooked politician, there is a dedicated leader.

Teach him if you can that 10 cents earned is of far more value than a dollar found. In school, teacher, it is far more honorable to fail than to cheat. Teach him to learn how to gracefully lose, and enjoy winning when he does win.

Teach him to be gentle with people, tough with tough people. Steer him away from envy if you can and teach him the secret of quiet laughter. Teach him if you can – how to laugh when he is sad, teach him there is no shame in tears. Teach him there can be glory in failure and despair in success. Teach him to scoff at cynics.

Teach him if you can the wonders of books, but also give time to ponder the extreme mystery of birds in the sky, bees in the sun and flowers on a green hill. Teach him to have faith in his own ideas, even if every one tell him they are wrong.

Try to give my son the strength not to follow the crowd when everyone else is doing it. Teach him to listen to every one, but teach him also to filters all that he hears on a screen of truth and take only the good that comes through.

Teach him to sell his talents and brains to the highest bidder but never to put a price tag on his heart and soul. Let him have the courage to be impatient, let him have the patient to be brave. Teach him to have sublime faith in himself, because then he will always have sublime faith in mankind, in God.

This is the order, teacher but see what best you can do. He is such a nice little boy and he is my son.
