TASK 1: SUMMARY
Read the following extract and use your own words to summarize it. Your summary
should be no more than 80 words.
English education and English language have done immense goods to India, in spite of
their glaring drawbacks. The notions of democracy and self-government are the born of
English education. Those who fought and died for mother India's freedom were nursed
in the cradle of English thought and culture. The West has made contribution to the
East. The history of Europe has fired the hearts of our leaders. Our struggle for freedom
has been inspired by the struggles for freedom in England, America and France. If our
leaders were ignorant of English and if they had not studied this language, how could
they have been inspired by these heroic struggles for freedom in other lands? English,
therefore, did us great good in the past and if properly studied will do immense good in
future.
English is spoken throughout the world. For international contact our commerce and
trade, for the development of our practical ideas, for the scientific studies, English-is
indispensable "English is very rich in literature," our own literature has been made
richer by this foreign language. It will really be a fatal day if we altogether forget
Shakespeare, Milton, Keats and Shaw.(192 words)

between Sydney and Melbourne, Australia, over a two-week period in 2013.

[Link]
Sample

The bar charts show the discrepancies in the price of round tickets between Melbourne
and Sydney of an undefined airline within a two-week period in 2013. (1)
In general, the flying cost between the two cities did not seem to be distinctively
different, and the price of flight tickets was relatively higher on weekends than on
weekdays.(2)

Regarding the trip from Sydney to Melbourne (3), the ticket price of the first-week Monday
reached $80 (4), which was by far the highest price to be paid. This experienced a
significant fall of $30 (5) in the following week, making it the only difference throughout the
period. In other words, almost no changes were recorded in the ticket prices on
the remaining days. Whilst passengers could pay a lower price of $35 (6) on Tuesdays
and Wednesdays, they were required to spend extra 5 dollars (7) to fly to Melbourne on
Thursdays. The prices were more costly on the weekends as they could go up to $75 (8).

A similar pattern could be seen in the cost of airplane tickets from Melbourne to
Sydney. (9) Flight-goers could buy tickets at the most affordable price of around $35
(10) from Tuesday to Thursday, which showed no changes between the bar graphs. The
first week’s Friday ticket price ranked first at 80$(11), followed by 60$ tickets (12) for
flights departing on Monday and Saturday. A week later showed a $20 decrease (13) in
the price of Monday tickets, but a stable price range at $50 (14) for Saturday and
Sunday.
