Destination of Anthropology graduates (from one university)

This is an answer written by a candidate who achieved a Band 6.0 score.

The chart demonstrates what Anthropology graduates from one university did after finishing their undergraduate degree course. The fable indicates the salaries of the anthropologists in work after 5 years.

As we can see from the pie chart, majority of Anthropology graduates are employed. Fifiy-two per cent of them have a full-time job. Almost twenty per cent of graduates have either a part-time work or if is combined with post grad study. Eight per cent of students continue their full-time education. Only twelve per cent of graduates are unemployed. The information about all the rest graduates is unknown.

Thus, most of Anthropology graduates have a job. Half of those who work in Government sector earn more than a hundred thousand dollars. It is less than proportion of freelance concultantants who get the same amount of money. Besides, if is only one-third of those who work for private companies. We can see nearly the same percentage of those who get from fifty thousand dollars to ninty-nine thousand dollars as freelance consultants and in government sector. The situation is different in private companies. More of them get from fifty thousand to seventy-four thousand dollars than from seventy-five to ninety-nine thousand dollars. The proportion of those who work for private companies for from twenty-five thousand to forty-nine thousand dollars is half bigger than the same one in government sector and as freelancers.

So, the chart and the table show us that most of Anthropology graduates are employed and a salary more than twenty-five thousand dollars after five year's work.

Here is the examiner's comment:

The candidate has described all the key features and has supported these with relevant figures. There is some comparison of the figures in both the chart and the table. Information is presented coherently and there is a clear overall progression (introduction, description of the pie chart information, description of the information in the table and conclusion). Some cohesive devices are used to organise the description [As we can see | Thus | Besides | So]. The range of vocabulary is adequate for the task [combined with | earn | proportion of | freelancers], but there are some errors [all the rest graduates / all the rest of the graduates | If is fess / more than (the) proportion of freelance ... same amount of money | concultantants / consultants | ninty / ninety | half bigger than / twice as big as]. There is a mix of simple and complex sentence structures, with some errors [(the) majority | a part time work | all the rest (of the) graduates | in (the) Government sector].

In some countries the ownership of peoples home is an important matter. In these countries it is very important to own your own home rather than renting it. It might be indifferent for some, but for these people it matter.

why is that the case? you might wonder. I think if is because your home is supposed to be exactly what it sounds like, your home. A a human I think we long after having stuff to call our own, doesn't matter what if is, but humans will always want to claim ownership. This is nothing new and it has been like this through human history, like colonies for example, which later once again became the same country as before lead by its own inhabitants. People will always want to be the one to decide what happens to them and when you rent your home you can't even paint it without the owners permission.

If you as a person are renting an apartment there might be a lot of stressors in your life. A scratched wall can cause you a major headache, because the wall was not yours. The bedroom you are currently sleeping in might not be available as long as you hope, things happen in life and maybe the next landlord won't want to have you as a tenant.

In other perspective, not owning your home could be a relief when it comes to your finance. As a renter you won't have to pay mortgage, fake loans or spend an awful lot of money on buying the property. You wouldn't have to worry about the house market crashing or a natural disaster destroying your expensive home.

Bottom line, as a human I feel like we need to have a home and calling it your own can make that more special. I personally would rather own my house, because then whatever happens it is on me and no one else.

Here is the examiner's comment:

The candidate clearly explains why home ownership may be of importance to some people. She or he also explores the positive and negative sides of owning your own home before putting forward his or her own opinion. The task is well addressed and ideas are explored in some depth. Organisation is clear, with good use of cohesive devices and paragraphing and the message is easy to follow. The range of vocabulary is appropriate, with examples of less common items [long after / for | house / housing market] and good use of collocations [claim ownership | a major headache | pay mortgage | natural disaster | The bottom line]. There is a variety of complex sentence structures, with a high level of accuracy and only a minor error in punctuation [owners / owner's]
