Today's Writing Test - model answers
TASK 1 (see p31 for graph)
The bar chart shows relative precentage sales of four styles of trainers during a twelve-month period. In the first quarter, sales of the new 'Flying Boots' were fairly modest, only accounting for about 10% of sales. Sales volumes of the other three styles during the same period were similar, at approximiately 30% each. Conversely, in the second quarter, sales of the new style doubled and the older style 'High Rollers' performed less well. Sales of this style reached the fourth quarter. Sales fo the style 'Golden feet' continued to rise dramatically throughout the year, accounting for half of all sales in the fourth quarter, whilesales of 'Zed Runners' of had dropped significantly by the year end.
(128 words)
TASK 2
You should spend about 40 minutes on this task.
Write about the following topic:
Successful sports professionals can earn a great deal more money than people in other important professions.
Some people think this is fully justified while others think it is unfair.
Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.
Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.
Write at least 250 words.
As a result of constant media attention, sports professionals in my country have become stars and celebrities, and those at the top are paid huge salaries. Just like movie stars, they live extravagant lifestyles with huge houses and cars.
Many people find their rewards unfair, especially when comparing these super salaries with those of top surgeons or research scientists, or even leading politicians who have the responsibility of governing the country. However, sports salaries are not determined by considering the contribution to society a person makes, or the level of responsibility he or she holds. Instead, they reflect the public popularity of sport in general and the level of public support that successful stars can generate. So the notion of ‘fairness’ is not the issue.
Those who feel that sports stars’ salaries are justified might argue that the number of professionals with real talent are very few, and the money is a recognition of the skills and dedication a person needs to be successful. Competition is constant and a player is tested every time they perform in their relatively short career. The pressure from the media is intense and there is little privacy out of the spotlight. So all of these factors may justify the huge earnings.
Personally, I think that the amount of money such sports stars make is more justified than the huge earnings of movie stars, but at the same time, it indicates that our society places more value on sport than on more essential professions and achievements.

The pie charts show that, currently, both countries consume the same amounts of energy, in spite of the fact that the population of South Korea is more than double that of Australia. At present, each country contributes 1.9% to global carbon-dioxide emissions, but this represents 9.5 tonnes per capita in South Korea, whereas in Australia, the figure is 21 tonnes per capita.
Fuel consumption is forecast to increase in each country, although after 2010, the rise in Australia will be slightly more gradual than South Korea's. As far as carbon-dioxide emissions are concerned, South Korea had a lower level than Australia in 2002, but by 2025, its emissions are expected to hav topped 700 million tonnes, whereas in Australia, emissions are likely to rise to just over 600 million tonnes.

STUDENT ANSWERS - The Best Three Essays
There were three answers that stood out in particular. The students who wrote these were Citra, Angela & Mouk:
The following essay was written by Citra:
Nowadays people are likely to watch sport on television rather than attend to live sports events. This situation has brought various opinions among people. Some people believe that having more televised sport will bring benefits, while others argue it could cause more disadvantages. Therefore, through the discussion I have come to form my opinion.
It can't be denied that sports are popular among society. Often sports drive people crazy about it. Even in some countries, sports are beyond everything. Therefore according to the development of technology, nowadays the amount of sport shown on television has gradually increased. This situation brings advantages for many people who love sport but don't have time or money to attend live sports events. Therefore having televised sport is a good way to enjoy sport without spending too much money and energy. Furthermore, it could develop people's interest in sport. Yet televised sport could answer people's curiosity about sport. Therefore having televised sport could bring benefits for people in order to save their energy, time and money.
On the other hand, some people argue that having televised sport would cause financial losses for small clubs and would bring fewer live supporters to the match. However this situation would not make a difference for an extreme sport lover. For the sports fans, they would prefer to watch the sport match live than to watch televised sport. Therefore having televised sport would not bring big disadvantages.
To sum up, having more televised sport would bring more advantages....(to be continued)
The following essay was written by Mouk:
Nowadays, sport has become one of the important sources for recreation. Instead of watching sport matches at the stadiums, audiences tend to stay at home comfortably and select any game at any time they want to enjoy one. In the meantime, live sport has impacted on the industry in many potential ways. Therefore, televising sport on TV has both benefits and drawbacks.
Three main advantages of broadcasting sport are the flexibility of schedule, increase in popularity of sport and provision of benefits to the sport industry. Audiences are more willing to spend time at home with family and friends who can enjoy quality time together without crowds. Moreover, they can choose when and what sport they would like to watch. Televising sport also creates and keeps people interested, which is useful for sport industry in the sense that they will get more oppportunities to increase their popularity. In addition, thy will gain more financial benefits due to their noticeable fame.
On the other hand, live sport is the section that receives the impact of televised coverage....(to be continued).
The following essay was written by Angela:
In recent years, as a result of the development of TV channels, more and more sport programmes are shown on television. Some people see sports as entertainment and a large number of people are interested in sports. [Where is the topic sentence? - Nicole]
Some people believe that there are many advantages for both players and spectators. For the players, they can ask for large salaries to enjoy their lives. It might be the power to let them become much better. For the business, because sports are becoming popular, people always like to join in some club, so it brings lots of benefits for the sports clubs, financially. For the people, it makes them interested in sports, also, they might choose one or more of them to practise themselves. It's good for their health.
On the contrary, others believe that it will be unimaginable if the sports programmes are shown on television all the time. Firstly, the price of sports matches will rise quickly, it really harms spectators benefits. Secondly, some clubs which are not big enough mightbe harmed financially, it's pretty bad for small businesses. Thirdly, there are so many sports programmes on television, so people prefer to stay at home and watch mathces instead of spending a lot of money going to playgrounds. Finally, it makes people always stay at home and watch TV. It's really bad for their health or family.
All in all, sport programmes are not so bad. They can help people save money, however, we cannot show sports programmes all the time. Nobody can deny that watching sports at home is not as exciting as being there.

WRITING - p19 Model Essay (question B)
It is now possible to watch live sport on television on any day of the week, and the current amount of coverage will undoubtedly increase further in years to come. This is definitely having an impact on the live sports events themselves, and there are both benefits and drawbacks to this.
Why has there been such growth in televised sport? For one thing, with digital broadcasting, there are now many more TV channels than there were even ten years ago. Moreover, sport has become an important form of entertainment, appealing to both men and women.
What are the benefits of this state of affairs? One obvious advantage to the profession is the injection of capital provided by television companies. Larger football clubs benefit financially from TV revenue and the top players can command very large salaries. Less popular sports also receive money that can be invested in training and awareness-raising. Furthermore, there is a health benefit to some of the population, because through televised sport, more people have become interested in actually playing sport.
However, there are certain disadvantages to having so much sport on television. Considering football again, many smaller clubs have suffered financi8al losses recently, as they cannot compete with the larger ones. There has been a general decline in ticket sales, especially among smaller clubs. Fewer people attend live matches nowadays, preferring to watch from the comfort of their living room. What's more, ticket prices have risen dramatically.
To sum up, while televised sport has created many opportunities and benefited certain individuals and clubs enormously, it has also been responsible for changing the nature of live sports events for ever.
