The chart below shows the amount of money given to developing countries form five organisations from 2008 to 2011.
Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparison where relevant.
The bar graph details the financial aid from five various organisations to emerging nations between 2008 and 2011. Overall, the sum of monetary resources provided by Organisations 1 and 2 increased whereas
Organisations 4 and 5 saw a downward trend and Organisation 3 remained stable despite some minor fluctuation..
Concerning the categories that rose, in 2008, the amount of funding donated by Organisation 2 was nearly double Organisation 1, at roughly $1.3 $billion, and about $0.6 billion, respectively. While Organisation 2 increased most significantly and consistently to the overall highest point of just over $2.5 billion in the end, Organisation 1 saw a slight rise to approximately $0.9 billion in 2009, followed by a drop of around $0.2 billion a year later and remained the same until the final year.
Moving to the other categories, the donations of Organisation 5 dropped constantly from roughly $1.2 billion to slightly under $0.5 billion between 2008 and 2011. Moreover, Organisation 4 contributed the least, at around $0.7 billion in 2008, dipping to about 0.3 billion in 2009 before falling further to nearly $0.2 billion in 2011. Finally, starting at the highest result of $1.5 billion at the beginning, the amount of Organisation 3 fluctuated at this level until the end, and was surpassed by Organisation 2. (224 words)

(IELTS Academic – 5/8/2023)
Question: Traffic and housing problems could be solved by moving large companies, factories and their employees to the countryside. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
ANSWER:
The relocation of substantial business, industrial plants and their workforce to the suburban areas can mitigate traffic congestion and housing shortages. I mostly agree that this solution can be proven effective although other equally vital remedies can also be applied.
The first valid reason for my support is that this reformation can relieve urban congestion. Many metropolitan areas suffer from gridlock during peak hours due to the concentration of employees commuting to and from the office. By redistributing companies and factories out of the cities, fewer vehicles may be operated on the road in peak times, leading to smoother traffic flow and decreased travel time.
Further argument to support my belief is that this practice can offer more residential options for urbanites. As companies are shifted out of crowded urban centres, more real estate can be made available, and the rental fees can become cheaper. This can give those who are still living and working in the metropolitan regions more choices that align with their preference and budget. For example, since most factories were moved out of Hanoi, the housing prices in this city have been lowered due to decreased competition.
However, I concede that a multifaceted approach is needed to combat this menace. One sound proposal is to improve public transportation. Investing in efficient and extensive mass transit systems can reduce the reliance on private vehicles, making streets less congested. Moreover, smart urban planning can revitalise depopulated areas while unused open space can be transformed into more meaningful housing projects.
In conclusion, I somewhat believe that despite the effectiveness of other feasible methods, redistributing major enterprises, factories and their workers to rural regions can address traffic jams and housing challenges in the cities due to fewer vehicles on the street and more affordable housing alternatives. Where possible, all these solutions can be combined and customised depending on the demographic patterns and social settings of a destination to maximise their potential effects. (322 words)
