Task 1
The charts shows the percentages of male and female students getting top grades in 1960 and 2000.
这次考的柱状围,难度不大。实际的考试有四张,感谢顾家北老师提供的图,他把四张围合并成了两张。考察的实质内容没有变。
注意点:
1?高分男孩在art, humanities的比例增加,其他下降
2. 高分女孩在arts , languages , humanities都在下降
3. 男生女生在languages , humanities高分较多,而其他科目差异明显
Word count: 164
The two bar charts compare the proportions of boys and girls who achieved high grades in five subjects.
Overall, it can be seen that the percentage of boys getting top grades experienced an upward trend in humanities and arts. In 1996, about only 20% and 10% of boys obtained high grades in humanities and arts, and these two proportions almost doubled in 2002 respectively. As for mathematics and science, the figures decreased significantly. The percentage of male students who performed well in science decreased considerably, standing at 18% in 2000. It is interesting to note that there was no change in the percentages of languages(around 22%).
By contrast, the proportions of girls achieved A or A+ in humanities, arts and languages dropped remarkably, which fell by 15%, 7%, 5% respectively in the year 2000, while the percentage of girls getting high grades tripled in mathematics.
To sum up, girls outperformed boys in languages and arts, whereas boys were more skilled in science and mathematics.?

Sample Answer:
In the modern world, young adults prefer to raise children late in their life. This essay will mainly analyze the potential reasons and how it will affect society and family life as well.
There are three main factors contributing to the postponed parenthood.
In general, people who bear great pressure from their work are less likely to prepare childbirth early, considering that they may have little time to attend their children. This problem can also be attributed to the high cost of modern life. The young people without adequate savings will probably be afraid of high living cost and expensive tuition. Another reason for this is the difficulty in balancing work and life. More young people emphasize the promotion in career, and thus spare little time for a stable marriage life which is viewed as a significant element for rearing children.
It cannot be denied that late childbirth is able to provide more time for young couples to be ready for the new members in their families. They need to learn how to raise children before they decide to have children. In addition, if they delay childbirth, they can provide more economic support for children’s rearing and education.
However, the low birthrate will cause an increase in ageing population. It is widely known that most medical needs and costs occur in the last years of life. Therefore, young people have to face the need to care for the elderly family members. From the perspective of the society, due to a shift in the age structure of the workforce, an ageing society with a low birthrate is likely to encounter labor shortage.
To summaries, the delay in having children is mainly attributed to the stresses and strains men and women bear in both their life and work. Although this may help them better prepare for their children's development the negative effects on both society and family life cannot be ignored.
