ANSWER KEYS：
Test 2 Writing
Question 1
Sample A
Introduction:
The aim of this report is to summaries the changes in production and average prices of wheat between 1990 and 2000.
Findings:
Focusing our attention on wheat production it can be seen from the graph that the output rose steadily over the period. A general upward trend from 0,9 millions of tonnes in 1990 to 2,3 MolT in 2000 is clearly recognisable.
On the other hand, the average price of wheat totalled 1,400~/T in 1990, but in 1995 it increased rapidly reaching a peak of 2,900~/T. In 2000 the price fell to 2,400~/T which was however more than the minimum price in 1990.
Conclusion:
As can be seen from both graphs average price of wheat did not show the same characteristics as total wheat production.

This is a good realization of the task set, showing very good organization, a wide lexical range and a variety of sentence structure. Occasional minor errors (e.g. 'steadily', 'more than the minimum price') and a weak conclusion do not detract from the overall positive impression.
Sample B
This report shows the wheat production and price changings over the last ten years
The wheat production soared continuously from under i million tonnes up to more than 2 million tonnes.
The second chart shows first an rise in the average price of wheat from about ~1'500 in 1990 to ~2800 at peak in 1995 and second a slight reduction to ~2'200 each tonne. In contrast to the production the price changes nearly doubled whereas the production rose slightly during the first years. Although production grew from 1995 to 2000
prices plunged ~600.
Bind 2
An inadequate attempt at the task with some contradictory information (e.g. 'soared continuously' but 'rose slightly'). Although there is some attempt at cohesion, basic structures are weak. The target reader may be misled.
