Khoảng trống mà đề thi chừa cho các bạn làm bài là có giới hạn và có ý đồ. Do đó ta không nên viết quá dài hoặc quá ngắn. Dưới đây là bài viết do Thomas thực hiện nhằm giúp các bạn tham khảo thêm. The above line chart presents information on the readership of the three papers in the country of Totalitariana: Mainstream, Youngster, and Sportsman between 1985 and 2009. A quick glance at the chart easily helps to figure out different graphic patterns involving the number of readers of these papers. As can be seen, there was a steady rise in the number of readers of the Sportsman from 6,000 in 1985 to 1,800,000 by 2009. The Mainstream, however, ran downhill all the way by decreasing its reader numbers to 4,000 in 2009 even though, at the beginning of 1985, this figure was 1,200,000 – not bad at all. Turning to the Youngster, there were wild fluctuations in its reader numbers over the surveyed period. During the 1985-1995 period, for instance, the number of Youngster readers dropped significantly from 60,000 to 20,000. However, the next ten years witnessed a fast climb and then Youngster reader numbers peaked at 250,000 readers in 2005. This figure then went down to 100,000 by the end of 2009. Data from the above chart clearly shows a shift in reading interests among the people of Totalitariana towards newspapers reflecting issues related to sports and youth.
