Writing Task-1 Model Answer:
The two maps describe an area before and after some developments from 1965
to now.
As can be seen from the plans, the most notable change taking place in the area
is the construction of a road bridge, which replaces the ferry.
On the northern side of the road bridge, the forest on the left riverside has been
cleared to make way for a large new car park. There is also a small car park
which was built on the other side of the river and this car park can be accessed
from the main road via a small path. Many houses and apartments were
constructed around the car park.
To the south of the bridge, more houses were also built along the main road.
Apart from these buildings, there are several changes which are expected to take
place by 2018. These developments include a foot bridge which runs parallel to
the main road, a yatch marina and a small car park.

WRITING TASK 2 Model Answer:
There is a common problem among high school graduates these days where
students are leaving school without any knowledge or skill in personal money
management. This essay will outline a number of reasons for this trend and a
number of possible solutions to help tackle the issue.
Firstly, one of the main causes of this problem is that the majority of high school
students live with their parents and are completely financially dependent upon
them. Most students do not need to work to earn money while at high school, as
their parents pay for all their needs, and therefore do not gain any understanding
about the realities of earning and saving money. Usually, the only money that
students receive is from their parents and this is typically in the form of pocket-
money, which is given with the intent of it being spent. Therefore, young people
only really learn how to spend money, and not how to earn, save or manage it
wisely.
However, there are a number of viable solutions to help students deal with this
problem. Firstly, basic money management skills could be included as a
compulsory subject for students in their high school years, which would
help equip them with the knowledge and skills to manage their own
personal finances when they leave school, move out of home and enter
employment. The second possible step that could be taken to help curb this
problem is through education at home. Parents need to take responsibility to
make sure that their children are adequately educated in such matters to ensure
their children maintain a successful and independent financial situation after
graduating and leaving home.
In conclusion, although money management is a problem for a lot of school
leavers, there are a number of viable solutions to counteract this problem.
