Writing Task 1

You should spend about 20 minutes on this task.

The graph below shows the consumption of fish and some different kinds of meat in a

European Country between 1979 and 2004.

Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make

comparisons where relevant.

Write at least 150 words.

参考范文1：

The graph illustrates changes in the amount of beef, lamb, chicken and fish consumed in a

particular European country between 1979 and 2004.

In 1979, beef consumption reached the highest point, with about 225 grams consumed per

person per week. Lamb and chicken were consumed in similar quantities about 150 grams.

However, fish consumption hit a low of 50 grams.

Yet, the consumption of beef and lamb dropped sharply to nearly 100 grams respectively.

There had been a stable pattern at 50 grams in the consumption of fish.

In contrast, the consumption of chicken showed an upward trend,transcending that of lamb in

1980 and that of beef in 1989. Then this figure rose to a peak of about 250 in 2004.

Overall, the line graph clearly showed the consumption of chicken rised rapidly while other

foods decreased during this period.

The graph illustrates changes in the amounts of beef, lamb, chicken and fish consumed in a

particular European country between 1979 and 2004.

In 1979 beef was by far the most popular of these foods, with about 225 grams consumed per

person per week. Lamb and chicken were eaten in similar quantities (around 150 grams), while

much less fish was consumed (just over 50 grams). However, during this 25-year period the

consumption of beef and lamb fell dramatically to approximately 100 grams and 55 grams

respectively. The consumption of fish also declined, but much less significantly to just below 50

grams, so although it remained the least popular food, consumption levels were the most stable.

The consumption of chicken, on the other hand, showed an upward trend, overtaking that of lamb

in 1980 and that of beef in 1989. By 2004 it had soared to almost 250 grams per person per week.

Overall, the graph shows how the consumption of chicken increased dramatically while the

popularity of these other foods decreased over the period.

参考范文3：

The given line graph compares the fish and meat consumptions by the people of a European

country from 1979 to 2004.

As is presented in the graph, the consumption of chicken increased over the time while meats

of different types were more preferred by people in the given European country than the fishes.

According to the graph, more than 200 grams of beef was consumed daily by each person

initially in 1979. In this year, each person on an average ate 150 grams of chicken and lambs while

the consumption was just over 50 grams in this year. Over time people preferred chicken and the

consumption kept on increasing and reached to over 250 grams per day by each person. The

consumption of beef, lamb decreased over time and finally in 2004 the average consumption of

these two meat types decreased to around 100 grams per person in a day. The amount consumed

for fish remained almost same throughout the years and slightly decreased over time.

In summary, people started consuming more chicken than beef and lamb and the fish

consumption remained almost the same.

Writing Task 2

You should spend about 40 minutes on this task.

Write about the following topic:

Some people believe that there should be fixed punishment for each type of crime. Others,

however, argue that the circumstances of an individual crime, and the motivation for

committing it, should always be taken into account when deciding on the punishment.

Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.

Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or

experience.

Write at least 250 words.

参考范文（Band 7.5）：

Fixing punishments for each type of crime has been a debatable issue. There are many

arguments supporting both views, those for and those against fixed punishments.

On the one hand, fixed punishments will have a deterring effect on society. Individuals

knowing that they will be subject to a certain punishment if they are convicted with a given crime,

will reconsider committing this act in the first place.

This deterring effect also leads to social stability and security, through minimizing the

number of crime committed.

If people knew they would be able to convince the court or the jury of a reason for having

committed the crime they are accused of, penal decisions would be largely arbitrary. This would

result into criminals getting away with their crimes and into a high level of injustice caused by the

subjective approach of different courts.

On the other hand, taking the circumstances of a crime and its motivation into consideration

is a prerequisite for establishing and ensuring justice and equity.

A person killing in self-defense cannot be compared to a serial killer, moving from one

victim to the next. In my opinion, an intermediary position between both solutions is the perfect

way to establish and ensure justice and equity.

There have to be fixed punishments for all crimes. However, criminal laws have to provide

for a minimum and a maximum for the punishment and the laws also have to foresee certain cases

of exemptions.

An example for setting minimum and maximum penalties is Completion Law where a person

being held liable of a crime under this law will be convicted to pay a fine, according to the harm

caused by the violation and the profit gained by the violator through committing the crime.

As for the exemptions, in some countries the law exempts thiefs stealing food during a period

of famine taking into consideration the distress and hunger.

Also, a person killing in self-defense will be exempted from punishment.

考官评语：This is a thoughtful and well-argued response to the task. The candidate examines the

opposing views of the topic and gives a clear opinion that is well developed and supported. To

reach the highest band a more clearly-signalled conclusion would be needed. The argument is well

organised and linking is well managed throughout. The development of the answer is not helped

however, by poor control of paragraphing which sometimes confuses the links across different

sections. This is a weak feature of the script which limits the overall rating. In contrast, an

excellent range of vocabulary is used with a sophisticated level of control and only rare slips. The

range of structures is also wide and most sentences are accurate and precise, but there are some

errors and omissions. These, however, are only minor and do not affect communication.
