The bar chart below shows the types of holiday chosen by people in one country in 2005 and 2025.

ВведениеThe bar chart compares the proportions of holidays of five different types taken by people in one country in 2005 and 2025.

OverviewOverall, beach holidays remained the most popular choice in both years, but their lead narrowed considerably, while city breaks saw the most significant growth. The three smaller categories changed only slightly.

Основная часть 1In 2005, almost half of all holidays (48%) were spent at the beach. Countryside trips and city breaks were far less common, at 20% and 18% respectively, while cruises and adventure holidays together made up only 14% of the total. In other words, a beach holiday was more than twice as popular as any other type.

Основная часть 2By 2025, the share of beach holidays had fallen by 14 percentage points to 34%. City breaks, by contrast, rose from 18% to 30%, which made them almost as popular as beach holidays. Adventure holidays also became more common, increasing from 8% to 13%, and cruises grew slightly from 6% to 9%. Countryside holidays were the only other category to decline, dropping to 14%, just one point above adventure holidays.

OverviewOverall, the car was by far the most common way of commuting in City A, whereas in City B journeys were spread much more evenly, with the train being the most popular option.

Основная часть 1In City A, more than half of commuters (58%) drove to work. Buses and walking each accounted for 14% of journeys, while the train and the bicycle were used by only 8% and 6% of workers respectively.

Основная часть 2The picture in City B was very different. Only around a fifth of people (21%) went to work by car, which was less than half the figure for City A.

The table below shows the number of visitors, in thousands, to four museums in one city in 2015, 2020 and 2025.

ВведениеThe table shows how many people, in thousands, visited four museums in one city in 2015, 2020 and 2025.

OverviewOverall, visitor numbers at all four museums fell sharply in 2020 and then recovered by 2025, although only two of them ended the period with more visitors than in 2015. The Science Museum was the most visited in every year.

Основная часть 1In 2015, the Science Museum attracted 410,000 visitors, followed by the History Museum with 350,000. The Art Gallery received 220,000, while the Toy Museum was much smaller, with only 80,000. In 2020, attendance dropped by roughly half or more everywhere: the Science Museum fell to 190,000 and the History Museum to 160,000, while the Art Gallery and the Toy Museum fell to 95,000 and 40,000 respectively.

Основная часть 2By 2025, the Science Museum had grown to 520,000, its highest figure, and the Art Gallery had risen to 310,000, well above its 2015 level. By contrast, the History Museum, with 330,000 visitors, and the Toy Museum, with 60,000, had not returned to their 2015 numbers. As a result, the gap between the two most visited museums widened considerably, from 60,000 visitors in 2015 to 190,000 in 2025.

ОбращениеDear Sir or Madam,

Цель письмаI am writing about a suitcase that did not arrive after my flight from Istanbul to Riga last week, and I would be grateful if you could help me to find it.

Пункт 1: детали рейсаI travelled on flight 254, which left Istanbul at 9.40 am on 14 October and landed in Riga on time. I checked in one bag, but it did not appear on the baggage belt, so I reported the loss at the airport desk the same afternoon. My reference number is RIX 40217.

Пункт 2: чемодан и что в нёмThe suitcase is a large dark blue hard-shell case with four wheels and a yellow strap around the middle. My name and address are written on a label attached to the handle. Inside there were clothes for a week, a pair of running shoes, a camera in a black case and several gifts for my family.

Пункт 3: чего вы хотитеI would like you to locate the suitcase as soon as possible and deliver it to my home address. If it cannot be found within the next ten days, I would ask you to explain how I can claim compensation for its contents.

ЗавершениеI look forward to hearing from you. Yours faithfully, Maria Ivanova

You have just started a new job in another city. Write a letter to a friend. In your letter

Write at least 150 words. You do NOT need to write any addresses.

ОбращениеHi Sam,

НачалоI'm sorry I've been so quiet lately, but I've got some big news: I've moved to Kazan and started a new job!

Пункт 1: работаI'm working as a junior designer at a small company that makes mobile games. There are only twelve of us, so everyone gets involved in everything, and I've already helped to design the menus for a game that comes out next month. The hours are long sometimes, but my colleagues are friendly and I'm learning something new every day.

Пункт 2: городAs for the city, I love it so far. The old centre is beautiful, especially the Kremlin above the river, and there are lots of cafés where I sit and sketch at weekends. It's also cheaper than Moscow, so I've been able to rent a flat with a balcony.

Пункт 3: приглашениеWhy don't you come and visit me in December? You could stay in my spare room, and I'd love to show you around and take you to my favourite restaurant. Let me know which dates suit you.

ЗавершениеTake care, Alex
