Report:
The diagram illustrates the changes in the layout of a community centre 10 years ago compared to the present.
Overall, there were more offices in the building ten years ago, and today a cafe and coffee bar have been added to the facilities.
In the west of the community centre, an indoor sports area has today replaced the garden. However, the car park next to this area remains unchanged. In the middle of the diagrams, a coffee bar is now located next to the toilet, replacing the office that was there ten years ago. Above these, there is now a cafe area. This replaces storage space, and the office which was in the north of the plan ten years ago has now been divided by half, to provide a new storage area.
By contrast, some areas remain unchanged – the hall in the middle of the layout and, to the east of the diagram, the kitchen and storage space next to the kitchen. Finally, ten years ago, four small offices were located above the storage area in the east of the plan, and these have been combined into one large office today.

Lời giải Task 2:
Essay:
It is true that today many fewer people, especially young people, work on the land than in the past. While some reasons can be put forward to explain this trend, I firmly believe that it is necessary to attract many more young people into farming.
There is one major reason why fewer young people are now engaged in agriculture. Advances in technology have completely revolutionised how food is produced. The traditional methods, which were labour-intensive, have become obsolete . Sophisticated agricultural machinery has replaced people, in a process which has increased in intensity over the years. Young people are today rarely seen on farms. Lacking job prospects, they were among the first to join the mass exodus to the cities.
However, I would argue that more young people are needed in farming today. Firstly, modern methods of farming are increasing environmental degradation and provoking an ecological crisis. Farming techniques, for example organic growing, which are environmentally-friendly are the only sustainable way to produce food, and these techniques require much more human labour. Secondly, when young people migrate to cities, they often cannot find work and experience a sense of alienation. They live in a concrete jungle without a feeling of community that they had in their rural villages. Finally, to help to alleviate environmental problems in the countryside today, young people should be encouraged to study agronomy and ecology. Applying their knowledge to sustainable farming, young people will be mentally stimulated and physically fit.
In conclusion, the use of technology in modern industrialised agriculture puts profit before people, but more young people in farming will result in the application of technology to achieve sustainable development. This gives them a vital role in the future of humanity.
