IELTS essay:The only way to reduce the amount of traffic in cities today is by reducing travel needs Nowadays, people spend around 720 hours per year in jams; traffic became a crucial problem for city residents. Some people argue that the unique possibility to decrease quantity of cars on the road is to create other ways of people’ interaction with employer, colleagues, shops and educating institutions, meanwhile, in my view, it is possible to reduce traffic only applying a range of different governmental actions. It is generally accepted that the Internet extends our limits and create new opportunities to work or study abroad, to make new friends, to build love and even to shop online at home. When each person would stay at home, subsequently the level of exhaust emission and traffic will be decreased. Most people say that for reaching success at work you should always be in the office to demonstrate high level of interaction with clients and colleagues, your ability to work in changing conditions, be multifunctional and to collaborate as a team. However, I think that some other people can be more productive working at home. For instance, introverted people, who cannot build a high level of live communication, are more effective online concentrating on the project in peace and quiet. From the other hand, I tend to think that working online may cause health problems, while you seat at the desk for an hour, you will never notice changes, although through time your back will hurt so much that you will be forced to call the emergency to help you. As well as working at home and moving less than before, as a result you get some extra weight and you raise risk of obesity which is the reason for diabetes and high blood pressure. I suppose that it is impossible that everyone will work at home, somebody will have to bring purchases and food and it will be created a new traffic of delivery cars. That is why I tend to think that it is a good idea for some people, though we must find other ways to reduce traffic. For example, government should impose new tax for owning more than one car per family, decrease prices for public transport, to initiate the transport reform and to build new road junctions. Taking everything into consideration, improving the traffic situation requires investment and political that is sometimes not easy to generate.

Landline telephones The bar chart indicates changes in the number of landline telephones per 1000 people in the range of countries between 2000 and 2004.

The majority of countries hit the trough in 2004 with almost zero telephone users in Lao PDR, Indonesia and Thailand and peaked in 2000 with approximately 450 people in Singapore.

The highest rate of landline telephone per 1000 users was recorded in two countries: Brunei Darussalam with its peak in 2002 of 250 landline telephones and Singapore with its peak in 2000 of almost 450 landline telephones per 1000 people in the period of 5 years.

In contrast, Cambodia and Vietnam showed reversed trend by steady growth up to about 50 users of landline telephones per 1000 people from 2000 to 2004.

On balance, all the remained countries indicate relatively low rate in the same period not overcoming 100 users of landline telephones per 1000 people.

Concrete production The diagram illustrates the various stages and equipment in production of cement, and how after it is used for concrete-making. Clearly, this complex process requires a range of equipment and machinery. Initially, the limestone and the clay are crushed into powder, and then it has to be mixed and heated into rotating heater that heats the material at high temperature. Afterwards the material arrives at the grinder that mills it into cement. Then the cement is poured into a large concrete mixer, meanwhile it is important to follow the instruction adding the right proportion of materials: a quarter of sand, a half of gravel, a fifth of water and the rest is the cement. After a concrete is ready, it passes to a construction site. Obviously, the process of cement production is much longer and requires more machinery, while the concrete production requires more materials. Overall, the processes must be performed in the right sequence to produce a good quality of concrete.

Energy production in the US The line graph indicates figures for the energy production, consumption and imports in the US from 1995 and 2000. Besides, it shows the prediction of its growth in future. There is a sharp increase from 1950 up to 1975 of production and consumption of energy from 25 to 60 units. After that production has been growing gradually up to 2000 increasing for 10 more units. Meanwhile, the energy consumption has been considerably risen for 35 quadrillion of BTU’s at just 25 years. This surge caused the import rise of 30 points in the period of just 50 years. The experts predict that this trend is going to continue up to 2025, growing up to 125 units of consumption, 85 units in production and 40 units in imports. Overall, the graph indicates that energy production is not maintaining the same level as consumption in the US, so imports will continue to increase.
