Part 1
You should spend about 20 minutes on this task. The table describes the changes of people who went for international travel in 1990, 1995, 2000 and 2005. (million). Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features and make comparisons where relevant. You should write at least 150 words.
The table presents(=describe, show, illustrate) data on international travel from various global regions over a 15-year period, sepcifically(특히) in 1990, 1995, 2000, and 2005, with figures in millions.
A clear(=apparent, evident) upward(증가하고 있는) trend in international travel is evident across all regions, with the total number of travelers rising from 448.9 million in 1990 to 693.7 million by 2005. Europe accounted for the majority of this increase, starting at 280.2 million travelers in 1990 and reaching 400.2 million in 2005. Notably(=especially), this represents(해당하다) an approximate 43% rise over the 15 years.
Asia and the Pacific also saw substantial growth, with numbers increasing from 60.2 million to 135.8 million, more than doubling their 1990 figures. This region showed the highest relative(상대적인) increase. The Americas followed a similar upward trajectory(궤도), though less pronounced(두드러진, 현저한), from 80.5 million to 113.2 million.
In contrast, Africa and the Middle East experienced more modest(크지 않은, 적당한) growth. African international travel numbers rose from 18.2 million to 28.7 million, while the Middle East increased from 9.8 million to 15.8 million. Although these increases are less significant in comparison to other areas, they still reflect(나타내다) a consistent growth in international travel.
The data suggest(=indicate) a robust(탄탄한) growth in the travel industry, with Europe and Asia-Pacific regions leading the surge. The steady increase across all areas indicates an expanding global interest in international travel, potentially(=possibly, 어쩌면) fueled by economic growth, increased air travel accessibility, or other factors not specified in the table.
In summary, the table indicates that international travel has become increasingly popular from 1990 to 2005, with Europe being the most frequented(많이 찾는, frequent: 자주 다니다) destination. The doubling of travelers from Asia and the Pacific points to(=suggest, indicate) dynamic changes in global travel patterns during this period.
PART 2
You should spend about 40 minutes on this task. While many people go to university for academic study, more people should be encouraged to do vocational training because there is a lack of qualified workers such as electricians and plumbers. Do you agree or disagree? You should write at least 250 words.
The debate regarding(=about) the primary function of universities—whether to facilitate(용이하게 하다) academic study or to serve as(~의 역할을 하다) a conduit(전달자) for vocational training—remains contentious(논쟁이 많이 벌어지는). With the burgeoning(급증하는) demand for skilled professionals in trades(직업) such as electrical work and plumbing(배관작업), some argue for(~에 찬성 의견을 말하다) a greater emphasis on vocational training within university curriculums. Despite acknowledging the importance of vocational skills in today's job market, I maintain that universities should predominantly(대개, 대부분) focus on academic study, fostering a comprehensive educational environment that equips students with(준비를 갖춰주다) a broad spectrum of knowledge and critical thinking skills.
Firstly, the essence of university education lies in(있다) its ability to cultivate intellectual growth and critical thinking. By delving into(파고들다) various academic disciplines, students not only acquire subject-specific knowledge but also develop the ability to analyze, question, and synthesize(통합하다) information. This intellectual rigor(엄밀, 정확) is crucial for nuturing adaptable(융통성 있는) individuals capable of navigating(다루다) the complexities of the modern world. For instance, engaging in academic research and interdisciplinary studies encourages students to approach problems from multiple perspectives, fostering innovative solutions.
Furthermore, universities serve as incubators for societal progress, where academic study contributes to advancements in science, technology, humanities, and social sciences. The pursuit of knowledge in these fields leads to breakthroughs(돌파구) that have far-reaching(지대한, 광범위한) implications(영향) beyond the immediate needs of the job market. By prioritizing academic study, universities continue to be at the forefront of innovation and societal development.
That said(=however, 그렇긴 하지만), the importance of vocational skills in ensuring employability cannot be understated(낮추어서 말한). However, this does not necessitate(필요하게 만들다) a shift in the university's core mission. Instead, universities can incorporate(포함하다) vocational elements into their curricula through practical modules, internships, and partnerships with industries, thereby providing students with valuable hands-on(직접 해 보는) experience without compromising the depth of academic study.
In conclusion, while vocational training is essential in addressing the immediate skills gap in the workforce, universities should remain bastions(수호자, 보루) of academic study. By fostering a rich(다채로운) academic environment, universities equip students with not only the knowledge pertinent to(=regarding, ~에 적절한, ~와 관련있는) their field of study but also the critical thinking skills and adaptability(융통성) required to excel in various career paths and contribute meaninfully to society. Vocational training, while significant, can be pursued through dedicated(전용의, 특정한 목적으로 만들어진) institutions and programs that complement the broader educational landscape.
