Κάνω προετοιμασία μόνος μου για το IELTS μετά από 4-5 χρόνια από τις τελευταίες εξετάσεις αγγλικών μου και θα με βοηθούσε πολύ εαν κάποιος/α θα μπορούσε να με βοηθήσει να καταλάβω περίπου σε τι επίπεδο βρίσκομαι στην έκθεση. Έλυσα τα ενδεικτικά θέματα του British Council και παραθέτω απο κάτω τα θέματα και τις απαντήσεις μου. Επίσης, θα ήθελα να ρωτήσω εαν υπάρχει κάποια αρνητική βαθμολόγηση στις παραπάνω λέξεις, καθώς τείνω να ξεφεύγω πολλές φορές από το όριο.

Task 1
The graph below shows the proportion of four different materials that were recycled from 1982 to 2010 in a particular country.Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.
Write at least 150 words.
Task 2
Write about the following topic:| Learning English at school is often seen as more important than learning local languages. If these are not taught, many are at risk of dying out. In your opinion, is it important for everyone to learn English? Should we try to ensure the survival of local languages and, if so, how? |
Write at least 250 words.
Task 1
The given line graph presents the amount of materials that were recycled, in the time from 1982 to 2010, as a proportion of each reference year’s total production of that specific material. A measurement is presented for every fourth year from 1982, with measurements for aluminium cans starting in 1986 and for plastics in 1990.
Starting as the most recycled material in 1982 and after a small drop in recycling percentages in 1990, followed by a rapid increase, paper & cardboard have kept their top spot. However after 1994 a downwards trend can be observed, with the proportion of paper & cardboard being recycled dropping at a steady rate. The opposite behaviour can be seen when it comes to the recycling of glass containers. After an initial steady drop in recycling over an 8-year period in 1982-1990 and a sharp rise between 1990 and 1994, their rate of recycling steadily increased to 2010.
An exponential rise in aluminium can recycling can also be observed since the start of measurements, with its rate of increase rising after 2002. Plastics on the other hand have stayed at roughly the same levels since start of measurements in 1990, with only a negligible increase being observed over the 20-year period from 1990 to 2010.
Task 2
English has been the world’s lingua franca for over 2 centuries, having the largest number of non-native speakers than any other language in the world. Due to its popularity and use in all facets of everyday life to facilitate communication between people, not knowing each others mother tongue, it has been introduced to the curriculum of schools in most places, if not in every country in the world. The introduction of English to schools however has had critics all over the world, with the most common problem mentioned being that of students and parents alike considering English as a more important subject than the local language. In many countries, English is taught at a very young age, with children coming in contact with it as early as the first grade, at the same time as the study of the local language.
The importance of English learning cannot be overstated. Besides the obvious benefits of making inter-personal communication possible for people around the globe, it also enables the individual to explore literature from the english classics to modern novels, as English is most times the first language foreign books get translated to. This way, every english speaker has the ability to delve into any subject and genre, from any country in the world. The language used in scientific research is also English, with most scientific publications being written in it, as to be accessible to the international community. Additionally, with the rise of the internet since the mid 1990s English has been of great importance, enabling people from all over the world to communicate, share ideas and collaborate on a vast array of subjects, despite any linguistical differences.
Language is one of the basic characteristics of any culture, with it defining a nations history and cultural heritage. Besides the widely spoken languages, which range from Arabic to Greek to German, there exist a vast array of other more regional languages, in every part of the world. The existence of these languages is threatened by ever expanding globalisation, with reports each year of such languages going extinct, due to their number of speakers reaching zero. Such local languages are what has defined who we are and have characterized and created what we consider our history and cultural heritage. Thus, it is of the upmost importance to preserve them for the generations to come. Because by preserving a language we are also preserving the entire culture which was built on it. Efforts to preserve local languages have been successful in recent years by writing literature on them, for younger people to study and learn. Such publications, which are the same as any normal language-learning book are the most effective way to keep languages alive for generations to come.
It is evident how language plays a big part in our history, culture and everyday life. By learning English new opportunities arise for everyone, but learning another language should never overshadow ones cultural and linguistic heritage, as to preserve every nations individuality for eons to come.
