The diagram gives information about the process of making carbonated drinks.
Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.
You should write at least 150 words.
The diagram shows how carbonated drinks are produced.
There are 5 main stages. In stage 1 called "Water Cleaning", raw water is passed through a filter, then in a water softener and in a pump. After the pump we have stage 2. In this stage the water runs through an electric heater, after that it is cooled in a cooling pipe and then the water go in a tank where there is also carbon dioxide.
The stage 3 is called mixing, the cooled water and carbon dioxide arrive in a mixing tank where they are stirred and in this stage it is possible to add to the blend a flavour,a syrup or a colouring. After the mixing tank stage 4 begins, the carbonated drink passes through a filter and it is ready to be bottle. It can be contained in a bottle or in a can.
Overall, we can see from the diagram how it is a complex process and requires many technologies to prepare carbonated drinks.
Task 2
You should spend about 40 minutes on this task.
Computers are now the basis of the modern world. They should therefore be introduced into classrooms, and their programs used for direct teaching purposes. However, dependence on computers in teaching may carry a certain degree of risk to students.
Discuss both sides and give your opinion.
Give reasons for your answer, and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.
You should write at least 250 words.
Nowadays, technology is part of our life and sorrounds us. Computers are used in any job and are almost indispensable, it is difficult to think of a job that not require a device or a computer. Computers are also used in schools for teaching purposes.
I think that using computers in school education has many advantages. Firstly, a teacher can teach with the help of the internet. For example, he can use a video to explain an historical fact or he can use a map to explain geography. Secondly, a teacher can create an online classroom so if a student has doubts or he needs an help he can ask directly to the teacher. For example, during my middle school, we had an interactive whiteboard in classroom and teachers used it to explain and to write and it turned out that the grades had all improved.
Thirdly, there are many software that can help students.
On the other hand, many students today only use a program on the computer and therefore there are not many who know how to do things by hand, for example drawing or design. In an elementary school the use of computers must be safe and supervised by a teacher because it is very dangerous for a child to use a computer alone.
In conclusion, i think that computer be an excellent ally in the course of study and if used well it can improve your academic performance but it must always be a help and must never replace you or do things for you.
