Lời giải Task 1:
The diagrams illustrate the alterations to the layout of an art gallery in 2000 and 2019.
Overall, it is clear that the courtyard in 2000 was divided in 2019 into three separate areas, and that an area for Asian art was created in 2019.
There was one major change to the building. In 2000, the hall of the art gallery led to an open courtyard, but in 2019 this courtyard was divided into three separate areas. These areas comprised a room for children’s art, a guest exhibition area for Australian art in the centre and a permanent exhibition room for Australian art.
The central hall and its sculptures remained, with its ticket office, two exhibition rooms, A and B, to the left and a cafe. In 2019, toilets were added to the cafe space. To the right of the hall, the rooms C and D also remained, however there was a change to the third room, next to D. In 2000 this room displayed Australian art, but in 2019 the display was changed to Asian art.

Lời giải Task 2:
It is true that some people believe that private enterprise should be responsible for conducting scientific research. While this may have some minor benefits in the short term, I would argue that this is outweighed by enormous disadvantages.
On the one hand, one advantage is that private companies sometimes respond more rapidly to demand than governments. People who invest money in these companies are greedy to make the most of any business opportunity.Thus, huge amounts of money become immediately available for these corporations to conduct research which might maximise profits. For example, the outbreak of an epidemic such as the corona virus, presents a spectacular opportunity for the pharmaceutical industry. In the search for a cure, the first company to develop a vaccine stands to make a vast fortune, whether governments buy the vaccine or people have to buy it themselves.
On the other hand, there are significant benefits if governments determine the direction of scientific research for the well-being of their people. Firstly, they must provide funding for university departments to carry out research according to public need. Advances in technology and knowledge to achieve sustainable development would be used to benefit people, not investors. Thus, research into areas like preventive medicine or to alleviate environmental problems, although unprofitable, is essential. Secondly, as competition between companies is eliminated, the sharing of knowledge through international cooperation among the scientific community becomes the norm.
In conclusion, private companies sometimes carry out scientific research quickly, whereas governments up to now have been relatively slow to allocate resources to such research. However, the advantages of placing the responsibility for scientific research in government hands far outweigh any disadvantages.
