Q1: What page would you turn to for advice about money
18-Marissa Brown of EastBank sets out a sound investment and savings plan for young professionals.
The questions ask for the page that provides readers with advice in terms of money. Having a quick look to the content of different pages, we notice that of all the pages there is only page 18 emphasising on bank, investment and savings, all of which are related to money. Thus, we can tell that 18 is the answer

Similar words in Passage
Q2: what TWO pages can you read about art
+ 33-What’s on round Town?
Art, Music, Theatre
+ 28-The Met
Metropolitan Art Museum hosts a new exhibition of post-modern paintings
Note that the answer will be two pages rather than only one. When finishing skimming, we recognise that art appears in the content of 2 pages. The first one is page 33 with the town tour discovering Art, Music as well as Theatre. Secondly, information about a post-modern exhibition in an Art museum could be found in page 28. Thus, we can tell that 28, 33 (in any order) is the answer. Note that the title requires to write number and numbers rather than word so we can not write ‘’28 and 33’’

Q4: page would you go to for information on exotic trips
Getaway holidays-some popular and some unusual
In order to answer that question, it is essential to know that ‘’exotic’’ means abroad or overseas. Therefore, noun phrase ‘’exotic trips’’ means journeys to foreign countries. Look at all the page content and we note that the only possible answer is page 12. It is because page 12 aims to suggest several vacations that are ‘’ popular and some unusual’’. Moreover, the word ‘’getaway’’ can be referred to somewhere far way or abroad. Thus, we can tell that 12 is the answer

Keywords in Questions
Similar words in Passage
Q5: Young performers will play at this concert.
A-Conservatorium High School students play a selection of Mozart concert.
The keyword in Q5 is young performers, so we are looking for the players in specific range of age. As we start skimming from concert A, it is clear that the programmes will be performed by High School students. Note that high schools students tell us that the performers are young. Thus, A is the answer
- 6 Answer: C

Similar words in Passage
Q6: The concert will be held outdoors
C-This content will be held in the Conservatorium Rose Garden, not in the Concert Hall
Concert C is different from the others because it has a line of ‘’note’’ which indicates important information. In this line, it is stated that the concert will take place in Conservatorium Rose Garden instead of Concert Hall. Note that a garden is almost certainly outdoors. Thus, C is the answer
- 7 Answer: E

Similar words in Passage
Q7: There will be only one performer
E-World-famous classical guitarist Rodrigo Paras will play a selection of traditional Spanish Flamenco pieces
In this question, we have to compare the number of performers in each concert.
+ Concert A will be performed by High School students so it cannot be the answer
+ Concert B will be led by Giggle Band with the feature of Willy Wallaby, which is more than one person.
+ Concert C is not clear about the number of music player.
+ Concert D will be contributed by 3 bands namely The Hippies, The Hypers, and The Heroes.
+ In concert E, traditional Spanish Flamenco pieces will be played by a classical guitarist called Rodrigo Paras. Thus, there will be a sole/single performer in concert E, making E the answer
- 8 Answer: B

Similar words in Passage
Q8: This concert will not be held at night.
B-An Afternoon for the young and the young-at-heart […] 3:00pm
The key information here is the time. We have to be careful as the question as for “not at night’’ rather than “at night’’. The majority of concerts are performed at either 7:30 or 8, except from concert B which is advertised as ‘’an afternoon’’ for young and young-at-heart people. Indeed, the timetable for it is at 3pm. Thus, B is the answer
- 9 Answer: D
Keywords in Questions
Similar words in Passage
Q9: The audience can choose what will be performed.
D-If you have a special request, write it down at the ticket counter when you come in.
While the other concerts have been appointed and fixed what to performs, audiences attending concert D are enabled to order the songs or piece of music by noting them at the back of the ticket. That means the audiences can choose the performance in concert D. Therefore, D is the answer.

Q10: To avoid being bitten by a snake at night you should use a flashlight.
Preventions [...] use a torch around camps at night
As the question mentions ‘’to avoid’’, it signposts us to look for ‘’prevention’’ as ‘’prevent’’ is the synonym of ‘’avoid’’. Skimming to the end of the list ‘’prevention’’, we can see the recommendation when going at night, according to which we should ‘’use a torch around camps’’. Notice that ‘’torch’’ is the same as ‘’ flashlight’’. Thus, Q10 is TRUE

Read the information below on treatment for snake bites and answer Questions 10-14
FIRST AID FOR SNAKE BITES
Snakes are not normally aggressive and tend to bite only when they are threatened or mishandled. Some snakes, such as the carpet snake, are not poisonous. Others, such as the brown snake, tiger snake and taipan, are very poisonous.
Prevention
- leave snakes alone and
- do not collect snakes do not put your hands in hollow logs, under piles of wood, or in rubbish
- be noisy when walking in the bush
- look carefully when walking through thick grass
- use a torch around camps at night
Symptoms and signs
These symptoms do not appear immediately, but from about 15 minutes to 2 hours after the person is bitten. There are often no visible symptoms or signs. Take seriously any information from the person concerning:
- strong emotional reaction
- headache or double vision
- drowsiness, giddiness or faintness
- nausea and/or vomiting and diarrhoea
- puncture marks about 1 centimetre apart at the site of the bite.
- Bites are usually on the limbs, especially the legs.
- reddening bruising
- sweating
- breathing difficulties
Management
- reassure the casualty
- apply a pressure immobilisation bandage over the bitten area and around the limb
- seek medical aid urgently
Snakebite Warnings
- never wash the venom off the skin as this will help in later identification
- never cut or squeeze the bitten area
- never try to suck the venom out of the wound

The diagram below depicts the structure of a neuron and explains the way in which it works.
Overall, it consists of six main elements, each of them performing its own function.
Like any other cell, a neuron has a body, which is called soma. It is also made up of dendrites that look like roots branching out from the main body. Each neuron has one main myelin-covered axon stretching from the cell and forming terminal buttons that consist of many branches with little swellings in the ends. Furthermore, each axon contains action potential, a special electrical signal travelling from the cell to the terminal buttons.
As can be seen, each part of the neuron plays its own role in the organism. While dendrites receive signals from other cells, axons forward these messages to other neurons, glands or muscles. They perform this part of the communication process using action potential. It should also be noted that each exon is covered with a substance, called myelin, which accelerates the passing of neural impulses. Finally, terminal buttons at the end of each axon perform the function of forming junctions with other cells.

can someone rate my writing task 1? thanks in advance.
The flowchart depicts how does a neuron work and what are its parts.
Overall, a neuron has seven components, starting with the cell body and finishing with Terminal buttons. The main purpose of the cell is to receive messages and pass them away to other neurons, glands and muscles.
The main component of a neuron cell is the Cell body, which is its soma. The messages from other cells are received by the Dendrites and passed away from to other neurons, muscles or glands by the Axon. This whole process is supported by the Action potential, which it is an electrical signal travelling down the Axon.
The Myelin Sheath is in charge of covering the messages of some neurons and helping speed neural impulses. Consequently, the information arrives in the last component of a neuron, Terminal buttons. They form junctions with other cells and finishes the main purpose of a neuron.
The information regarding the components of a neuron and how it works is depicted by the rendered diagram.
Looking from an overall perspective, it is crystal clear that there are seven pieces in the neuron system and various steps in the working system.
To begin with the components, the cell body is in a circular form and is situated in the cell. On the outer side of the cell body, there are dendrites, and its work to receive massages from other cells and it is also attached with other neurons. Additionally, axon is a capsule like structure that is situated in the action potential, and its work to pass messages from the cell body to other neurons, muscles, or glands.
Shifting attention towards the rest of the information, the myelin sheath, which covers the axon of some neurons and helps speed neural impulses. Moreover, there are five myelin sheaths, which are called action potentials. The last component is terminal buttons, which forms junction with other cells.
A neuron is the fundamental unit of the nervous system. The function of a neuron is to send and receive neural impulses.It comprises of dendrites, cell body and axon. The cell body or soma have multiple projections knowns as dendrites and a single tail-like extension called the axon. Dendrites essentially receive messages/signals from other cells. These signals are passed on to the axon via the cell body. These signals then travel down the axon through action potentials. The axon of some neurons are covered by myelin sheath which speeds up the transmission of signals. At the end of a neuron, the terminal buttons form junctions with dendrites of neighbouring cells, thereby, relaying the message to other neurons, muscle or glands.
PLEASE COMMENTTTTT THANK YOU !!!
In today’s modern era, the increasing population of senior citizens are required to be closely taken care of within society due to the advancements in the medical industry. In my opinion, I believe that the world will have a hard time managing the vast numbers of elderly folks today due to lack of manpower in healthcare that no technology can replace for daily basic activities. Consequently, governments of different nations should consider constructing more well-equipped foster homes to help minimise this issue.
It is undeniable that the healthcare industry is lacking manpower. This is because the younger generations find studying medicine too time-consuming, and not many people can commit to 5 years of medical studies or even longer. Young adults would rather work in the retail e-commerce industry which helps money to grow faster. To illustrate this, nurses are needed to help shower or clean the body waste of incapable elderly citizens, no advanced technology can help to do this daily essential activity. As a result, elderly people are neglected because they are hard to manage and no one wants to take up this tough manual job.
Based on my recommendation, the solution to manage this issue is by raising the numbers of proper and well-equipped old folks' homes to help manage the growing population of the elderly. Government should send a good amount of pension for each home to ensure there is sufficient food and necessities needed for the elderly.
In conclusion, despite healthcare improvements in the world, it is still hard to manage the rising growth of senior citizens because of the lack of labour force in the medical industry. To improve this situation, governments need to take into consideration by building more well-equipped old folks’ home within the country and providing pension to them.

Anyone give your opinion on my Task 1 and Task 2 writings please. I hope that I have given the right response on Task 2. Anyone define that !
Task 1
The diagram below depicts a structure of neuron. It can be seen that there are five main components of neuron. Each of them has its own functions. A neuron, as other cells, has a soma which, is a cell body at the same time. There are small fibres on the some which are called dendrites. Their main function is to receive messages from other cells. Also, there is a large fibre named the axon, this part of the neuron transmits messages to other cells. The axon has little bulbs at its end called terminal buttons. They create connections between two cells, and terminal buttons help the axon to transmit signal from one cell to another. The last part of neuron depicted is the myelin shealth. The main function of this part of the neuron is to speed up neural impulses and to cover the axon. Additionaly, there is shown an action potential. It is not a part of the neuron. In fact, the action potential is an electrical signal that always travels down the axon.
Task 2
Over the last few decades, medical services have improved. Because of the developments, there are more elderly people than ever before. Due to this increase society have to cope with them and help as much as possible.
Firstly, it is very important to help them because they are the same people as we are, but due to their age they have less physical possibilities. Because of the increasing number of elderly people , more facilities for them have to appear. It is very important for people not to forget those ones who are older.
Im my opinion, there are a few ways how people can cope with the sharp growth of number of pensioners. One possible solution is to develop and provide care homes for elderly people. Sending pensioners to care homes is very popular in developed countries , but, unfortunately,in developing countries it is not so popular and because of that a lot of elderly people have to stay. This leads to lack of communication and pensioners lose touch with a society.
The second way , how people can cope with the growth is to make pupils and students visit some hospitals and care house to conversate with pensioners. In my opinion , it will help elderly people to keep in touch with younger generation and because of that changes pensioners will feel less lonely. Despite, ways which were mentioned above young people do not have to forget about worthy medical care , with which every pensioner has to be supplied.
All after all, I can say that it is very important not to forget older generation and supply them with proper care all around the world. Unfortunately, a lot of elderly people do not have the proper level of medical care and other services but it has to be changed.
the diagram below depicts the structure of a neuron and explains the way in which it works. All in all, consider this component of the neurons has six main elements.
Soma is the cell body of neuron.it is also made up of dendrites.it look like roots branching out from the main body. firstly, receive messages from other cell is a dendrites responsibility. All elements have own duty to do. Secondary passages messages away from the cell body to other neurons, muscles, or glans which is Axon duty in the neuron system. Myelin sheath covers the axon of some neuron and helps speed neural impulses. Action potential assist to the electrical signal traveling down the axon. The information arrives last components in neurons, terminal button. they form junction with other cells and finished the main propose of neuron.
The diagram depicts the various components of a neuron such as soma, Dentrites, Axon, Myelin sheath, Terminal buttons and the detailed functions of the respective parts in the transmission of neural messages in a human body.
First, the dendrites receive messages from other neurons. Then, the signals are passed through the cell body(soma). Next, the signals are passed through a tubelike structure called Axon, which sends messages away from the cell body to the other neurons, muscles, or glands which is called Action potential. which is covered by a capsule shape sheaths called Myelin sheath which also helps speed neural impulses.
Finally, the electrical signals are passed on to Terminal buttons, which form junctions with other cells and pass on the signals to them. In this way, the human brain's signals are passed to the desired part of the body to respond to the different reflexes through millions of neurons.
Hi, I have written Task 1. Can someone review it ?
The chart illustrates the components of a neuron and how it functions. Overall, different components of a neuron work together to perform a specific task.
Looking at the figure, the cell body(soma) is located at one end, while the terminal buttons are at another end of a neuron. The root-like structure surrounding the cell body is known as dendrites. Dendrites act as a receiver that receives messages from other cells and passes the received message via Axon to other components of the neuron.
Axon connects the cell body with terminal buttons, and passes messages away from the cell body to other neurons, muscles, or glands. Myelin sheath protects the Axon and acts as a reactor, speeding neural impulses. The electrical signal or message traveling down (from the cell body to the terminal buttons) the axon is known as the action potential. At the end of the neuron are terminal buttons (root-like structures) forming junctions with other cells.

Kindly review this answer
"The above diagram depicts the main components of the neuron and also provide details about the functioning of a neuron cell.
From the diagram its clearly evident that each neuron cell comprises of 4 main components, cell body called soma, dendrites, axon and terminal buttons.
The central part of the neuron is the cell body which is called soma. It is surrounded by the dendrites which appears like roots branching out from it. Cell body then connects to a tube like structure called Axon, which emerges out like branches at the end. Each of the branches has a circular round tip which is known as terminal button. The axon is shielded usually with a sheath called Myelin sheath.
Coming to the functioning of the neuron, the dendrites are responsible for receiving messages from other cells and passing it to Soma, action potential which is electrical signal in axon carries the message from the cell body through it, and the mylein sheath helps pacing the neural impulses. Finally the terminal buttons functions by forming the junctions with other cells."
