Writing
TASK 1
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing to express my dissatisfaction with my room-mate. As you know we share one room, I can not study in the room at all if I still stay there.
She always has friend visiting and has parties in the room. The make lots of noise and switch on the radio very loudly, for me this environment is very difficult to study and I need a quiet room. Even borrows my things without asking, it is very impolite.
I request you can give me a new room next term because I have asked her has parties in other place many times they still have parties in the room. I really can not stay in the same room with her.
I would be grateful if you could change me a single room. Yours faithfully,
Catherine

The answer is below the word limit and there is some repetition of the task rubric. (Length is a common problem in General Training scripts.) Answers that are short lose marks because of inadequate content and may also lose marks because there is insufficient material in the answer for the examiner to give credit for accuracy and coherence. Despite these problems, the introduction to the letter is appropriate and the purpose of the writer is clear. The points are not always linked together well and punctuation is sometimes faulty. The sentences are kept quite simple and mistakes occur as soon as more complex structures are attempted

TASK 2
Who should be responsible for our old people?
One of the most challenging problems of today s society is the question who should be responsible for our old people . He s not only a financial problem but also a question of the system. We want our society to have. In my essay I would like to four different models
Firstly, the company can be responsible for their retired employees .For this reason a special fund could be established .The advantage of this model is, if your belief in the capitalist system that it should be the cheapest solution. A possible problem is that the companies might have competition disadvantage due to lighter staff costs.
A secon d solution is that the government has to have the responsibility for the old people s care. He can finance this with its tax incomes . Actually, this is the most democratic model since everybody gets as much money as he or she needs. . Unfortunately, as the present situation in our country shows, this solution seems not to work very well. The government can no longer afford supporting, all the old peoples.
Another way of solving this problems is to give back the responsibility to the individual. That means that everybody has to save money during their working life for the fine after their retirement .This seems to be had a very fair model because their will certainly exist people who can t afford to save part of their salary . In this case the government would have to care for them.
A last solution is to go back to the old model of the big family who cares for all their members . I don t think this is possible in our days society because the family structures have so much changed.
To sum up I have to admit that I can t find a really good solution for this problem.
All models have advantages and disadvantage .Certainly we have to think.

This is a very well organized script which contains a lot of well supported arguments and analyses the topic from different angles. The ideas follow each other well and there is a very honest conclusion. The answer is easy to read .There are some areas where the expression is clumsy but this makes little difference to the overall flow of the answer. There are minor errors in spelling and structure.
