Lời giải Task 1:
The diagrams illustrate the career paths followed by UK nursing graduates in 2009.
Overall, the pie chart indicates that by far the largest percentage of nursing graduates chose to work in the health sector. The table shows that the majority of these worked as hospital nurses.
Just over three-quarters of all nurses who graduated found a job in the health sector. However, a minority made different choices. While 8% went on to do further studying, 4% decided to combine working and studying. Other destinations outside the health sector were chosen by 10% of nursing graduates, and only 1% were unemployed.
The table provides details about the nursing graduates who entered the health sector in 2009. While 70% worked in hospitals, the figures show that a significant percentage worked either as midwives or mental health nurses, at 12% and 10% respectively. In contrast,just 2% chose health administration. Finally, 6% were employed in other parts of the health sector.

Lời giải Task 2:
It is true that when motorists and cyclists share the same roads, accidents involving these road users are common. While this is a serious issue, there are measures which can be implemented to reduce the dangers.
The major problem is the likelihood of accidents on roads which are used by both cyclists and car drivers. Such accidents frequently result in grave injuries, particularly to cyclists who are particularly vulnerable, even when wearing a helmet for head protection. While cyclists are sometimes responsible for causing accidents when they do not abide by the rules of the road, motorists often fail to be aware of other road users. For example, car drivers may not leave enough room when they overtake cyclists, or they may turn left or right without realising that this could put a cyclist at risk. Since cars frequently travel at high speeds, cyclists have little chance to react in such situations.
In order to reduce the number of road accidents and save lives, national and local authorities across the world have adopted two general types of policies. Firstly, many governments have prioritised expenditure on road safety. They have invested in transport infrastructure by measures such as upgrading and expanding public transport provision and constructing dedicated cycle lanes on busy roads. Secondly, authorities have introduced restrictions on car drivers. London, for instance, has imposed a congestion charge to discourage motorists from entering the centre. Traffic calming in cities and installing speed cameras also make the roads safer for cyclists.
In conclusion, although there are real dangers when car drivers and cyclists use the same roads, steps can be taken to reduce these risks.
