Email for internship Hi, I'd like to apply for an internship in Ireland, I've written this short email...can someone please correct it? Thank you so much :) Dear X, I'm Carola, an Italian student at the second year of Master Degree “Italian language and culture for foreigner people” at X University. I'm writing you because I want to apply for the Erasmus + Traineeship programme and I would really like to arrange my internship in your school X. The internship can last from two to three months, it must take place between the 1st september 2019 and the 30th June 2020 and it doesn't require any financial cost for the Host Organization because I'll be offered a scholarship which is entirely financed by the European Union and the insurance coverage depends only on my University. Regarding the period for the internship, I have to be in Italy in Mars 2020 because it's when I'm graduating, so it would be better if it's before that month. As an alternative, I can also do the internship after my graduation, from April to June 2020. Let me know which months suit you better. I would really like to perform my internship in your institute because I feel the need of practicing the scientific knowledges acquired during my University years within the world of work and I think that it is important to make use of the possibility to do such abroad, in particular because my professional ambition is to become an Italian teacher in a English-speaking country or in a French-speaking one. You can find my CV and a text about Erasmus + Traineeship attached. I remain at your disposal for an interview via phone or Skype. Thank you for the attention, Sincerely, Carola

IELTS Writing task 1: tv and radio This graph illustrated radio and television audiences during the day in UK in 1992. As we can see, as a rule, the use of television was more common, even though radio was more widespread during the morning. In particular, from 6 a.m. to 1 p.m., people who listened to the radio were more than the ones who were watching tv. Radio audences reached the peak of approximately 28% at 8 a.m., while television audience never overcame 10% untill midday. From 1 p.m. on, audiences show an opposite trend: the television one started to increase, whereas radio one declined sharply. The amount of people watching television grew abruptly and hit the highest point at 8 p.m., when it reached almost 50% of UK population. At the same hour, people listening to the radio were less than 10%. After 8 p.m. audiences decreased for both the sectors: at 3 a.m. their percentage was less than 2%.

IELTS Writing task 1: education in Britain This bar chart indicates the number of male and female students in Britain in three periods, specifying if they were studying part-time or full-time. We can see that the number of men studying part-time in further education fluctuates, whereas the number of women shows an upward trend. As a matter of fact, 1970/71 was the period in which the greatest number of men was studying, approximately 1000 thousand, whereas in 1980/81 and in 1990/91 it was measured that the number was included between 800 and 900 thousand. As far as women are concerned, the graph tells us that in 1970/71 female students in Britain who were studying part-time were about 750 thousand. The amount then increased up to a bit more than 800 thousand in 1980/81 and it reached 1100 thousand in the following decade. When it comes to people who studied full-time, this chart reveals that numbers are far lower than the ones related to part-time students. The amount men and women followed a similiar trend: both numbers passed from 50 or 100 thousand to 250 thousand in this span of time.

IELTS Writing task 1: debts A great number of people face the problem of getting into debt because they purchase things which are not essential and they can't afford. Sometimes they spend everything they have earned to buy a bag, or they ask for a huge loan from a bank only because they want to buy a new car and so on. I believe there are several reasons that can explain this behaviour, it depends on people: some are convinced those objects can provide happiness, some would probably like to lead a wealthier life, others may be concearned about their acquaintances' opinions. The only aspectwhich is clear is that some measures must be taken in order to prevent people from ruining their lives. Firstly, from my point of view it is fondamental to explain people that most of time material objects can't supply happiness. If they understand this, they will probably stop wasting money on things they don't need. Secondly, it is also necessary that people learn how to be more responsible. In particular, it is important to check carefully on our finances and to think about the consequences of our actions. Furthermore, in my opinion it may be useful to show some examples of people who destroyed their lives by exaggerate with shopping: not because I want to scare people, but because I think that understanding their condition and pain will serve as a deterrent. To conclude, I hope schools, governments, public institutions as well as friends and family will menage to prevent people from behave like this because it is becoming a serious problem which, unluckily, it is still underestimated.

IELTS Writing task 1: Stokeford The maps below illustrate Stokeford in 1930 and in 2010, making easy to notice the changes that took place in the village in this 80 years time span. Firstly, we can see how much the roads changed. In fact, in 1930, there was only one road, while by 2010 other four streets were added. From my point of view this is the most significant variation, followed by the increasing number of houses. In 2010 houses are everywhere in Stokeford, whereas in 1930 they occupied only the neighbourhood of the primary school, together with some shops that disappeared. As for the school, its position remained steady but the main building was enlarged. While observing the 1930 map, we can notice that farmland was a significant area of the whole village while in 2010 it was completely replaced with houses, both the farlmland in the north and the one in the south. When it comes to the part which in 1930 was dedicated to a large house and to a green space, it is shown that in the 2010 map the house was enlarged and it became a retirement house, while the gardens were reduced. To sum up, a great number of changes took place in this village and the only things that remained steady are the bridge, the post office and the main road.

IELTS Writing task 2: rise in world's population TASK: The continued rise in world's population is the greatest problem faced by humanity at the present time. What are the causes of this continued rise? Do you agree that it is the greatest problem faced by humanity? Some affirm that nowadays the increase of world's population is the most serious problem that humanity has to deal with. It is indeed a danger in particular because this rise could worsen world hunger, since there won't be enough resources for such a great number of people. But, what is this augmentation due to? Firstly, even if in some continents, for instance in Europe, the number of birth is significantly decreasing, in several parts of the world, namely in Africa, population is continuing to increase for many reasons concerning a number of aspects of society, such as the level of female education or religion. Secondly, the development of health care made life expectancy far more longer than how it was before. In fact, if we look at European history, we can notice that there were some period in which population was reduced after an epidemic (the plague, the cholera and so on). At the present time, hopefully, we don't have to worry about these diseases anymore. Furthemore, the amelioration of hygienic conditions had an important role in the rise of world's population because, as is well known, it reduce the risks related to illnesses. To conclude, this augmentation is due to a number of factors and it could be very difficult to handle in the future. Nevertheless, I am not convinced that population increase is the main problem humanity has to face. On the contrary, I believe that global warming, as well as other environmental issues, is the main danger we have to confront in this era.

IELTS Writing task 2: advantages and disadvantages of studying abroad Nowadays, students as well as a great number of people are used to travel abroad for academic reasons; as a matter of fact, in most universities they have the chance to decide wheter to join the Erasmus project or to look for a stage in a foreign country. In addition to these temporary opportunities, it is becoming more and more common for student to choose a university abroad rather than to stay in their own country. This is probably due to the globalized world we are living in and, even though it may seem an amazing occasion, I am convinced that there are also several drawbacks for this kind of experience. To start with the disadvantages, as far as I am concerned, I can see that for a 18 years old student it could be very difficult to start living abroad without neither his or her friends nor his or her family. Besides, I believe that studying in a foreign country is useful especially if you want to live and work there in the future. Most of these young students don't know yet where they want to live once they will grow up, so I would suggest them to experience a short-term experience such as an exchange programme or the Erasmus project. On the other hand, I am sure that studying abroad let students not only learn a language, but also know more about the culture and the traditions of the country they chose as their destination. Furthermore, they will probably learn how to look at things from different points of view, to be more open-mided and to get used to our multicultural world. To sum up, to decide where to do a university degree is a hard choice, and there is not a right decision or a wrong one. Students must focus on what they expect from their future as well as consider carefully both benefits and drawbacks; once they have done it, they should be able to understand which is the best option for them.
