    ielts writing task1 (question) picture below (answer)The graph illustrates the background and expectation of energy consumption created by 6 different fuels in the USA between 1980 and 2030. Numbers are measured in units. Overall, petrol and oil are the most important fuels during the period, while the least significant fuel was solar or wind in the first 15 years and hydropower in the future. Almost all fuels have increased significantly except natural gas and hydropower in the end. Petrol and oil, the main energy producer, started at 35 units in 1980, which figure fluctuated in the next 10 years but jumped dramatically from less than 35 units to above 40 units in 2020, expected to be over 45 units in 2030. Coal and natural gas began at above 15 units and approximately 20 units respectively, then the proportion of coal increased stably in the next almost 40 years, and expected to be almost 30 units in 2030. The figure of natural gas firstly dropped to only above 15 units in 1985, then got the bottom at slightly above 15 units and got the peak at almost 25 units in 2015, which expected to be stable in the next 15 years. The least three fuels, nuclear, solar and wind, hydropower, began at below 5 units and increased slightly in the first five years. However, the percentage of nuclear became constant and increased stably in the next 35 years, which is considered to be climbed nearly 10 units in 1930. The figures for the other two fuels showed fluctuation between 1990 and 2005. A constant increase can be seen in the figure of solar and wind in the next 15 years, and hopefully will climb a little above 5 units in 2030. But that of hydropower keeps the same figure between 2010 and 2030. Please give me any suggestion if you are free (grammar preferred), thanks a lot!!! :)

    IELTS WRITING TASK 2 (QUESTION) In many countries, the proportion of older people is steadily increasing. Does this trend have positive or negative effects on the society? (ANSWER) As the development of technology and improvements of personal wealth, people's life expectation has increased. Although older people can also contribute to society, I will argue that the change may still lead to a few problems. One problem of an ageing population is the huge increase of the costs of health care, which can impose a burden on taxpayers. It is widely known that medical needs and fees occur in the late years of life. This means that the government needs to spend much more money in taking care of the elderly, which may lead to fewer funds on the other fundamental service, education. With the increasing numbers of older workers, the low pace of work may be the other problem. The ability to absorb information and complete work usually declines with age. So if they delay retirement, it may have an impact on the efficiency and profitability of the company. On the other hand, the older generation will extend their career because of the valuable asset to the whole society: their experience and wisdom. One reason is that people pay closer attention to diet and sports nowadays, so they may live much healthier and longer than before. They act as consultants, imparting their knowledge and skills to the younger generation. For example, some knowledgeable managers teach the young how to manage a business and provide better service to clients. In conclusion, the surge ageing population has already posed a threat to health care and the workforce in many countries, which will affect the economy, even though we can make the most use of the senior workers' wisdom.

    IELTS WRITING 2 QUESTION: Some people believe that developments in the field of artificial intelligence will have a positive impact on our lives in the near future. Others, by contrast, are worried that we are not prepared for a world in which computers are more intelligent than humans. Discuss both of these views and give your own opinion. ANSWER: It is believed by some that artificial intelligence has a promising development which leads to a positive future, while the others concern that humans cannot suitable to the computers-master world. This essay will discuss the benefits and drawbacks of artificial intelligence, and I believe that humans can adapt the AI process and benefit from convenience and modernity it brings. The applications of artificial intelligence show the efficiency and convenience in human's daily life. In a word, thanks to artificial intelligence, people can undoubtedly achieve the driverless process in the future. For example, the Tesla will unveil the updated vehicles in the next year and the driverless system will be possible in the third decades of 21 century, which will exactly save our time and shorten the transportation. It is predicted that artificial intelligence can be used in managing weather quality and forecasting the weather, which I believe that it is beneficial to the human's future. On the other hand, the basic occupations will be replaced by artificial intelligence, which might be the reason why some people concern that they are not prepared. In a word, if the artificial intelligence, like the robots, takes the job as waiters, then the original workers have to apply for another new job, which will somehow waste their time to search. However, it is still an opportunity for people to deserve something more challenge and creativity. In conclusion, the development of AI is inevitable, and I believe that the impact of that can save people time and let them choose some more challenge and creative work.

    IELTS WRITING 2 QUESTION: Popular hobbies and interests change over time and are more a reflection of trends and fashions than an indication of what individuals really want to do in their spare time. To what extent do you agree or disagree? ANSWER: It is considered that constant change among popular hobbies and interests is a reflection of social trends rather than that of an individual. I completely agree with this statement because of the age changing is inevitable and each individual is so distinctive. Popular hobbies and interests are definitely the culture among the most of young people under various ages, so it inevitably changes as the main group alters. Back to last 50s, people preferred to wear green, which represents revolution and victory. But now almost every year, the designer will predict the next year most popular color at the end of the year, which differs from time to time. The reason for this phenomenon is probably because the main people change, who are born after the revolution and open policy, are more likely to pursue something more charming. In other words, people who definite fashion and interests change all the time because of the pace of growth. For example, short videos, usually 15seconds, are extremely appealing to young generations due to their curiosity and the new technology. In China, the Tiktok has almost 500 million users worldwide, spending over 30 minutes every single day. It is not surprising that some have a very personal but special hobby which differs from the popular one. People all have their own perspectives and various hobbies from their childhood, but it doesn’t mean that any tiny hobby can easily go viral and hit super hot. For example, thanks to the industrial revolution, the production becomes much easier and more effective, which provide customers with opportunities to buy what they want with an acceptable price. However, there still some people who really like the handcraft which patiently done by the craftsman。 In conclusion, the popular culture alters, which must be a reflection of age rather than our individuals. I truly agree because of the inevitable change of each age and specialty of every single person.

    IELTS WRITING TASK2 QUESTION: Some people believe that nowadays we have too many choices. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement? ANSWER: It is said by some that we have overwhelming choices nowadays. I completely agree with this statement because people easily become more and more uncertain about what to do in the future, which leads to their uncontrol anxiety and heavy pressure. Sometimes people feel uncertain and nervous when different kinds of opportunities approaching them. In details, most of the people do not know themselves totally so that they can not figure out which one is their most interested in and which one they are not willing to handle, even with thousands of wealth. We have to make a decision at this moment even though we do not understand what the things exactly are and what we truly want to do. So, we fear that the one which we did not choose is actually the best one, which keeps us feel nervous constantly. We desire a true suggestion which can point out every detail. For example, each intern needs a professor to instruct them and then they can feel more confident when they struggle with the severe situation. People will become more and more anxious when they face too many choices because our humanity is so willing to compare. We will unsatisfied with our lives and we want to change, but we can not decide the right thing if we do not learn the first crucial step, which is to be grateful and relax. The study shows us that people who like smiling are much healthier than those who are serious all the time. And most of the corporations gather their members at the end of the year, having a team party, which is definitely beneficial to their mental. In conclusion, with too many choices, it still could be a problem and I somehow agree with this statement because people can not figure out which is their favorite thing and learn to relax.

    IELTS WRITING TASK 2 (QUESTION) Nowadays more and more people have to compete with young people for the same jobs. What problems does this cause? What are some possible solutions? (ANSWER) It is considered that an increasing number of people have to apply for the same jobs which young people also want to do. This essay will first explain why the high rate of unemployment it can cause and then give a few solutions such as enlarging the opportunities of jobs by the government and companies and improving our own skills. It will be much more difficult to achieve the dream job and the rate of unemployment will be much higher if this phenomenon continues. The main reason is that companies only hire limited employees and the employer only want to know more about the most talent and knowledgeable interviewer, no matter how old they are. In other words, if a person is over 50 with some serious illness, a young person who gradually finishes college would be much more welcomed. For example, in the fashion and design industry, young people with both good advantages and bodies are more likely to be hired nowadays. Given that situations, the first solution is that we need to encourage both government and companies to offer more opportunities for people. More importantly, a new system that a master teaches a freshman can also be used when we work, which leads people from different ages to achieve their dream jobs. Secondly, we ought to improve ourselves, not only in professional areas but also in communication and negotiation. A recent study shows that HR prefers people who are both talent and easy-talking. In conclusion, even though the job market seems much more competitive after almost all people apply for the same jobs. We definitely need more job opportunities and improve our own abilities.
