Task 1 - August 25




Two pie charts emphasize the major modes of transportation for people commuting to a university for work or study purposes in 2004 and 2009. Both charts have five different sectors. Overall, the maximum proportion of masses opted for cars in the first-mentioned year; however, in the second-mentioned year, buses attracted more people.

According to the graphs, in 2004, just over two-quarters proportion of travellers used cars for commuting, and this percentage tanked just under three in ten after five years. In the former year, exactly one-third of people used buses, but, in the latter year, this ratio boosted by 13%. The bicycle had attracted just 9% in 2004 and 16% in 2009.

Besides this, in 2004, train and walking had grabbed 3% and 4% of commuters respectively; on the contrary, in 2009, this proportion was 4% and 6% separately.

Part - 3 - All Cue Cards

Part 3 belongs to all new cue cards from September to December 2022. We have written the answers on our own except for one topic. Hence, we hold the copyright status of the answers written by us. 1.  Describe an object you find particularly beautiful (For example, a painting, sculpture, piece of jewellery/furniture, etc.). 1. Do   you   think   there   are   more   beautiful   things   now   than  in  the   past? In my opinion, traditional art and sculptures are much more captivating. I think in the past, it was easier for artists to find shoppers in the form of kings and nobles and they could focus on their art without any financial worries. However, today it is much harder to earn money as an artist. The art being made today also reflects that – it is done more as a hobby rather than as a profession and the works produced are far behind those of the past. Moreover, nowadays artists rely on machine work instead of handmade items.  2.   Do you think there are many scenic spots in India

Usually, I like wheat bread with freshly cooked vegetables like Okra, Turnip, beans and cauliflower. Along with this, I love to take a cup of tea. However, during weekends, my mother cooks stuffed bread for me, and amongst all these bread types, my favourite one is potato-filled bread with curd and homemade butter.  Do you eat fast food? Yes, I do, but once a fortnight, I prefer to have it. It is owing to the bad cholesterols present in junk food materials. In this category, I find cheese burst pizza, garlic bread and white sauce Italian pasta mouth-watering.  What are the different kinds of fast food in your country? Name them. India has an ocean of fast food materials. For instance, Chinese, Italian and American fast materials are the most popular ones in India. Moreover, we have traditional fast foods as well.  The first one is a savoury stuffed pastr
