Lời giải Task 1:

The diagrams illustrate how water in Australia is supplied to users at present and also proposed future changes to the system.

Overall, it is clear that in the future water will be recycled after treatment.  No water will be discharged into the river in future.

At present, water is stored in dams or other facilities.  Then, this pure water is sent to households, shops,  and factories.  Next, waste water is sent to a water treatment plant, and after cleaning it then enters the river.  Storm water, however, enters the river directly from the city.

In the future, the storage of water in dams or other facilities will continue unchanged, and pure water will be sent to the same users.  However, in contrast to the present system, all water will go to the water treatment plant.  It will then return to supply users as pure water following treatment, and no water will enter the river.

Lời giải Task 2:

Some people believe that students should not receive help with the costs of their university education.While graduates may benefit individually later in life from the opportunity to pursue a successful career, I would argue that the government should provide funding for students.

In many cases, it is true that students benefit from their university education in terms of future salaries. Headhunting corporations compete with each other to offer attractive employment to graduates. Graduates can expect to have better job prospects than non-graduates, enjoying higher pay and good promotion opportunities. They will, therefore, be more likely to live in prosperous neighbourhoods, with an enviable lifestyle. For example, in the USA college graduates may earn two or three times as much as an unskilled worker. 

However, I consider that there are two important reasons why students should not pay the full cost of their university education.  Firstly, they acquire skills which are useful, and sometimes essential, to society as a whole.  Doctors, scientists and engineers are obvious examples, but other professions should not be forgotten, such as teachers, artists or philosophers. Secondly, if students have to pay for their education, they may be forced to pay off a huge student loan when they graduate, or they may have to work their way through college.  In the latter case, their studies will suffer, and some may fall behind with their studies or even drop out of college.

In conclusion,  I disagree that students should pay the full cost of their university education. Although in some cases they benefit individually from having a degree, they also contribute to the prosperity and well-being of society and, therefore, deserve some financial support while studying.
