The column chart illustrates the gender distribution of academic staff across various departments at a particular university.
Overall, female lecturers are predominant in arts, history, and medicine, whereas male teachers outnumber their female counterparts in astronomy, engineering, law, and science. History is the most female-dominated subject, while engineering has the highest proportion of male staff.
Looking in more detail, arts and medicine show a relatively balanced gender distribution, with women accounting for 55% and 51%, respectively, compared to 45% and 49% for men. The smallest gender gap is observed in medicine. In contrast, 60% of law lecturers are female, resulting in a 20-percentage-point lead over males.
On the other hand, male dominance is more pronounced in the remaining disciplines. In astronomy, only 35% of lecturers are women, while 65% are men. A similar pattern is seen in science, where men also make up 65% of the teaching staff. Engineering shows the greatest disparity, with a striking 90% male representation, leaving just 10% for females. In contrast, history is overwhelmingly female-led, with women constituting 70% of academic staff.

The maps show how the layout of the public library has changed for 20 years.
Overall, over two decades, the library has undergone profound changes in its layout, becoming more functional and visitor-friendly. It is also notable that some original facilities have been replaced with modern ones so that readers now can get and return books without spending much time in long queues.
The library was rather empty 20 years ago. The entrance was from the below, with a reading room (newspapers and magazines) to the left and enquiry desk, where readers got tickets and returned books, to the right. Upon entering the library, visitors were immediately greeted by two large, round tables surrounded by chairs, where students engaged in group discussions. On the top left, there was a section for CDs, videos, and computer games, while directly opposite it was a section for children’s books. Then, adult fiction books and adult non-fiction books occupied both sides of tables at the center.
At present, the central library offers various facilities. While the reading room has been replaced by a computer room, a large café has taken the place of the old enquiry desk. All reference books are now located where the adult fiction section used to be, which has been moved to the right. The section for children’s books on the top right is being used as a lecture room, and the tables at the center have been removed completely. Next, the computer section has increased in size and been called children’s fiction books, where readers can enjoy storytelling events and sit on two sofas. The last alterations include the introduction of an information desk and self-service machines between the café and adult fiction books.

The two maps show how the layout of the Farmshire village will change by 2034.
Overall, Farmshire is expected to remain largely unchanged, preserving several of its original features while becoming more accommodating to residents.
At present, three large farms occupy the northwest side of the map, while there is a woodland on the northeast. The village is divided into north and south parts by a main road running from the northeast to the southwest. There are a village store and a prayer center from the south, between which is a green area. Lastly, a cooperative bank is located above the prayer center on the east.
Looking at the future plans, the village will become more dynamic with the introduction of entertaining and employing facilities by 2034. While two farms in the north will remain intact, the third one will convert into a poultry farm. Although some trees will be planted below the poultry farm, the old woodland will make way for the construction of a community soccer field. There will be an employment assistance center where the village store stands now. While the payer center and cooperative bank are supposed to remain unchanged, a modern supermarket is predicted to be built at the center.

The table and bar chart compare males and females depending on how many minutes they allocated for various entertaining and household activities per day in 2008, respectively.
Overall, watching TV and videos and listening to the radio were the most popular leisure activities among people regardless of their genders, while they were less active when it came to doing sports and reading books. It is also clear that women, obviously, took the lead in all household activities, with the exception of repairing.
In detail, the most noticeable gap was seen in the amount of time spent on TV, video, and radio, with men allocating 137 minutes and women 118 minutes. However, both males and females spent considerably less time on reading books and doing sports, ranging from 11 to 19.
The reversal pattern was registered in household activities. While men allocated 30 minutes for cooking and washing dishes, it was the main responsibility of women, with a whopping 75 minutes. Similarly, men spent three times less time on clothes washing and ironing than women, at 10 and 30 minutes, respectively. The margin was smaller for shopping, which occupied 25 and 35 minutes for men and women. Repairing was the only activity men outpaced women in, with the respective figures of 19 and 10 minutes.

The bar graph compares four different types of fruits regarding their production rates, measured in million kilograms (mk), in a certain Australian state between 1995 and 2015, at 10-year intervals.
Overall, throughout the period, all figures showed an upward trend, albeit at varying degrees, with the exception of that for pears, which started the period at the highest point. It is also clear that peaches stood out among others with their consistently lower numbers.
Over the period, more and more oranges, apples, and peaches were produced. The figure for oranges started with over 70 mk at the beginning, and then it saw an increase of 10 mk in each examined year, reaching about 90 mk until 2015. The remaining figures—apples and peaches—followed an almost identical pattern from 1995 to 2015. While the former stood at almost 80 mk, the latter was under 40 mk in 1995. Over the ensuing 10 years, the production rates of apples and peaches rose by 30 mk, after which they registered a further increase, culminating the period at approximately 120 mk and 70 mk, respectively.
In contrast, a staggering 135 mk of pears was produced in the particular state of Australia in the initial year. Next, this number declined by 20 mk in 2005, and this was followed by a further considerable dip, dropping to just over 80 mk in the final year.

The pie chart illustrates the age distribution of members at Little Chalfont library in 2016, while the table presents the breakdown of loans by category in the same year. The bar graph shows changes in the total number of loans between 2007 and 2016.
Overall, the majority of library members were aged between 18 and 64, whereas the elderly group made up the smallest share. Fiction books, both for children and adults, were by far the most borrowed categories. In addition, the total number of loans showed a gradual increase over the period, despite a temporary fall in 2013.
In 2016, middle-aged adults dominated library membership, accounting for just over half (51%) of the total. Children formed the second-largest group at 22%, while teenagers and seniors contributed similar proportions, at 15% and 12%, respectively.
When it comes to loan categories, fiction was the most popular choice, representing 38% of total loans for both adults and children. In contrast, adult nonfiction books were borrowed more than twice as often as children’s nonfiction books, with corresponding figures of 13% and 6%. By comparison, the remaining categories—including children’s DVDs, young adult books, and adult audiobooks—together accounted for only a minor proportion.
Turning to the trend in total loans, the figure stood at around 16,000 in 2007 and rose steadily to 21,000 in 2011. Although it dipped slightly to just under 20,000 in 2013, the number of loans recovered and peaked at 22,000 in 2016.

The number of table tennis players stood at over 15 at the beginning, and then it increased to 20 in 2010. Then, the figure for table tennis witnessed the most noticeable change and surpassed that for martial arts, reaching a whopping 55 in the final year.
Interestingly, during the initial five years, none showed a preference for attending musical performance. However, the number of musical performers rose from 0 to over 10 in 2010, and this was followed by a further growth to around 20 in 2020. On the other hand, despite rising from 25 to approximately 28 in 2005, the number of people who participated in amateur dramatics declined dramatically to about 7 by 2020, and this activity became the least popular.

These days people spend more and more time at work and less time at home. What are the advantages and disadvantages of this?
Nowadays, it has become common for people to spend more time at work than at home. While this trend can be financially rewarding for both individuals and society, it often has negative consequences for personal well-being and family relationships.
On the negative side, people who devote the majority of their time to work tend to suffer from both mental and physical fatigue. Many are employed in stressful urban environments, and working beyond a healthy limit only worsens this. Such individuals often complain about stress-related illnesses, obesity, and insomnia, as they lack sufficient time for self-care and recovery. Moreover, excessive work commitments can strain family relationships, sometimes even leading to marital breakdowns. With less time spent at home, family bonds weaken, which may result in poor childcare — a key factor behind a range of social issues.
On the other hand, one major advantage of overworking is the increased productivity it brings to companies. The longer employees work, the more goods and services are produced, which in turn strengthens the national economy. In this sense, employees who dedicate more time to their jobs contribute significantly to society. Another benefit is financial security. For instance, in Uzbekistan, most men traditionally serve as the main breadwinners of their families. The higher income they earn by working longer hours allows them to provide their children with better education and an improved standard of living.
In conclusion, while devoting extra time to work can boost family income and benefit the wider economy, I believe the harmful effects on health and family life outweigh these advantages. Achieving a balance between work and home life is therefore essential.

The table compares the number of car owners per 1000 citizens in eight different countries in 1990 and 2000.
Overall, over 10 years, almost all figures showed an increase, albeit at varying degrees, with the exception of those for the Bahamas and Cambodia, which decreased and remained stable, respectively. The highest numbers were observed in Luxembourg, closely followed by New Zealand, whereas the reverse was seen in Cambodia.
Starting with the countries where the rate of possessing cars was higher in both examined years. In 1990, 548 of 1000 people in Luxembourg had cars, and then this number increased to a whopping 728 in 2000, registering the chart high. Following this, New Zealand ranked second in this rate, with 531 in 1990 and 557 in 2000. The Bahamas was the only country where a decline in the number of car owners was observed, from 235 to 187, between 1990 and 2000.
The rate of possessing cars in the remaining countries was not as high as in the aforementioned ones. While the figure for Brazil increased from 55 to 135, there was a rise from 68 to 88 in Chile in 2000. The number of car owners more than tripled from 50 to 157 in Jordan between 1990 and 2000. While there was a moderate growth of 12 (from 68 to 80) in Romania, the figure for Cambodia remained unchanged at just 1 over the period.

In the past, knowledge was contained in books. Nowadays, knowledge is uploaded to the internet.
Do the advantages of this outweigh the disadvantages?
These days, people can gain knowledge through different sources available on the Internet instead of reading books. Although this modern phenomenon is disadvantageous to some extent, I believe that its benefits are more considerable.
On the one hand, there are two main drawbacks to accumulating knowledge online. Firstly, online learners are prone to being disturbed easily by pop-ups and notifications from different applications. These contemporary distractions lead to a decrease in academic productivity and reduce the attention span of knowledge seekers. Books generally undergo different stages, such as checking, editing, and polishing, before being published; however, everybody is able to upload information, videos, and photos on the Internet, which weakens their trustworthiness. People who are either conducting research or preparing for crucial examinations might follow incorrect data online, which will result in worrying consequences.
On the other hand, it is much easier to gain knowledge through technological devices connected to the Internet. Those devices, such as mobile phones or laptops, provide learners with easy access to a huge base of information. Today, knowledge seekers do not need to visit libraries and carry heavy books; everything can be done with just a click. Another benefit of learning online is the wide variety of sources. People had to read written texts in books in the past; however, they are now able not only to attend live sessions but also to visualize what they are reading through animations on YouTube and podcasts on Spotify.
The positives of learning online are not limited to the availability of sources and easy access; it also provides learners with a large network of people all over the world who share the same interests. Nowadays, most students sharpen their thoughts and broaden their horizons through heated discussions on Zoom, which is impossible with traditional books. The last advantage of e-learning is the presence of different educational applications. Learners can download apps from Play Market or the App Store for free and learn languages independently. Take Khan Academy as a prominent example, where qualified and experienced mentors conduct e-lessons in several languages.
In conclusion, while modern distractions and the lack of trustworthiness of data hinder e-learning, they can be resolved through parental supervision and thorough checking. I believe that the benefits of learning through the Internet are far superior to those of books.

The bar chart compares four different ways of waste disposal, measured in percentages, in Toronto, Madrid, Kuala Lumpur, and Amman.
Overall, landfill is the most preferred method of eliminating waste in Toronto and Amman, whereas incineration takes the lead in Kuala Lumpur and Madrid. It is also clear that the third most popular method is recycling in all cities except Kuala Lumpur, while the chart shows that the smallest share of waste is disposed of through composting.
Starting with the cities where the most garbage is buried, the figure for Toronto stood at a notably high 73%, closely followed by that of Amman at just under half. The figures for the three other methods in Toronto range from just 7% to 11%. The second most preferred way of eliminating waste was incineration in Amman, making up around 38%, compared to recycling and composting, with the respective figures of 10% and just 2%.
By contrast, while two-fifths of waste was burned, about 30% of it was buried underground in Madrid. Recycling ranked third with 23%, as opposed to composting, which accounted for 9%. Turning to Kuala Lumpur, the figure for incineration was two times higher than that for recycling, accounting for 54% and 22%, respectively. Lastly, 16% of waste was disposed of through burying, whereas just 7% of it was composted.

New technologies have changed the way children spend their free time. Do the advantages outweigh the disadvantages?
These days, the ways children spend their leisure time have changed due to digital gadgets. While these modern alterations are advantageous to a certain extent, I think that the long-run impacts on children’s soft skills and overall well-being are more detrimental.
It should be acknowledged that the presence of internet-connected devices such as laptops or smartphones can provide children with a variety of recreational opportunities. For example, children can sharpen their driving skills through playing racing games or watching videos about cars on YouTube. Additionally, it is possible to boost troubleshooting and multitasking skills via puzzles and brain games.
Another benefit of spending time with technological tools is that they can improve imagination and creativity. People learn how to visualize by playing certain types of video games. Take a popular game, Minecraft, as an example. Children build houses from different materials using their imagination, which forces them to create and think deeper.
However, I think the negative effects of this phenomenon on health should be taken into consideration. It is not uncommon to see children spending most of their time on screens and leading a sedentary lifestyle. The notable increase in the amount of average screen time, indeed, leads to eye and stress-related illnesses among those people.
Children who are addicted to playing video games and watching endless short videos on social messengers usually complain about a shorter attention span. This will, consequently, lead to defects in their academic performance and even failures in vital exams. Furthermore, the more time children spend at home, the less time they spend with their peers. As a result, they suffer from a sense of isolation and lose communication skills.
In conclusion, although allocating time to digital devices benefits those young people by providing a wide range of choices, I still believe that these changes deteriorate their health, cognitive and academic development, which is more worrying.

The line graph compares the number of people participating in basketball, tennis, badminton, and rugby from 1985 to 2005, at 5-year intervals.
Overall, despite being the most preferred in the initial half of the period, rugby fell out of favor considerably and became the least popular one. It is also clear that the figure for tennis, starting the period as a runner-up, witnessed a significant rise and topped the list in 2005. Moreover, the remaining sports experienced not notable changes over the period.
In 1985, rugby ranked first with approximately 240 participants – the highest participation rate ever recorded during the span. In the following decade, this number decreased to exactly 200, and this was followed by a further dip to just 50, registering the most noticeable change on the chart.
Tennis was the second most popular sport at the beginning. The figure for tennis stood at 150 in 1985, after which it underwent a gradual upward trend and reached a peak of 230 in 2005, surpassing that for rugby in 1995.
Unlike the discussed sports, there was no significant change in the number of people taking part in basketball and badminton. While the former remained stable at approximately 75, the latter consistently recorded the lowest participation rate, at around 50 throughout the period.

TASK 1: The charts below show the percentage of five kinds of books sold by a bookseller between 1972 and 2012.
The pie charts compare the share of five different genres of books sold by a bookseller between 1972 and 2012, at 20-year intervals.
Overall, throughout the period, the figures for both adults’ and children’s fiction books showed an upward trend, while the reverse was true for biography, travel and other books. It is also noticeable that despite being the second-most-popular in 1972, fiction books for adults gained a widespread popularity, registering the most considerable growth in sales at the end.

The bar chart compares the earnings of five different fiction books between 2006 and 2010. Overall, throughout the period, the sales of all books decreased, albeit at varying degrees, with the exception of romance, which stood out among others with its higher figures. Moreover, while the mystery was the second most popular genre, the least amount of money came from the sales of sci-fi and fantasy books.
Starting with romance and mystery books, they were sold more than other genres. The figure for romance topped the list with over $80,000 in 2006, and then this number reached an all-time high of $115,000 in the following year. Despite a drastic reduction to approximately $70,000—the most noticeable change ever recorded—the gross earnings of romance books rose gradually and culminated the period at around $87,000. Following this, the figure for mystery books started the period as a runner-up and grew from $60,000 to $81,000 in 2007 but then declined to $55,000 in the final year.
Not as much money was earned through the sales of young adult, classic, and sci-fi & fantasy books as that of romance and mystery books. Young adult books were the third most sold books, with over $30,000 in 2006. In the next 2 years, this number decreased to just under $20,000 and then rose to around $30,000 in 2010. The figures for classic and sci-fi & fantasy books followed the identical trajectory, with the former seeing a bigger change. While the earnings of classic books declined by half to $9,000, that of sci-fi & fantasy books decreased from $18,000 to $15,000 over the period.
