Task 1

The diagram below shows how oil is expected in use of production of perfume

Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

You should write at least 150 words.

Writing task 1

The diagram is a flowchart depicting the production of perfume (hydrolat/aromatic water). The process requires- 4 chambers, fire, connecting tubes, water (moderate temperature), Coldwater, Essential oil, etc.

In the first chamber, moderate-temperature water is heated up using fire to convert it into steam, which is passed to the 2nd chamber.

Aromatic plants are placed in the 2nd chamber. When mixed with the steam, it converts into steam and oil vapour which is then passed to the 3rd chamber.

The 3rd chamber acts as a condenser as it condenses the mixture of steam and oil vapour into liquid, using cold water as the medium around the pipe. The cold water slowly heats up and gets removed using a connecting tube while the liquid mixture of water mixed with essential oil moves to the 4th chamber.

The 4th chamber acts as a separator as it separates the water and essential oil. A tap is attached to the part where the essential oil is collected. Even though water is separated from essential oil, it retains the aroma(fragrance) of the essential oil and thus is considered as Perfume or Hydrolat.

Task 2

You should spend about 40 minutes on this task.

Write about the following topic.

Many people use written language in a less formal and more relaxed way. Why? Does this development have advantages and disadvantages?

Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

You should write at least 250 words.

Many people use written language in a less formal and more relaxed way.

Due to the development of technology in recent years, it is common for people to text or convey messages more conveniently compared to old times. Thus, people have the habit of messaging directly in an informal and relaxed manner. People have stopped writing long letters or talking formally compared to old times as it was inconvenient to behave formally. In the past, people used to ask about health and other things before getting to the main point that is nowadays considered a formality and is not popular. Everyone is much busier compared to the past; the formality is skipped while the main objective is discussed first.

This development has advantages as well as disadvantages.

The disadvantages of this development are that people have stopped asking for each other's health or welfare. The older generation has not adapted to this development; it becomes tedious or frustrating for some people to talk to them. Also, people have started to forget how to write formally the way their ancestors used to.

The advantages of this development are that communication is easy to understand and less tedious from both ends. It is easier to write the same way we speak to our friends or family; it is the informal way. It is even faster to write as people don't have to think of big words which mean the same and that cannot be easily understood. It also gets the work intended through the writing letters done faster if we skip the formalities and approach the main objective directly.

For me, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages of such development.
