MODEL ANSWER
This diagram shows how a
selection of 100 second-year
university students traveled to
university. 60 students said that
they traveled by train, 30 stated
that they traveled by car, while
10 students stated that they
traveled by both car and train.
One could conclude that most
respondents traveled to
university by train, a minority
traveled only by car, while a small
number of the respondents, 10%,
traveled by both train and car.

ANSWER
maturity.Salmon begin their lives in
rivers where the adult fish lay and
incubate their eggs. After emerging
from eggs, the young salmon spend
the next stage of their lives being
reared in freshwater areas. Then, at
some point in their development, the
fish swim downstream to river
estuaries where rearing continues.
Following the estuary rearing period,
the maturing salmon migrate to the
ocean, where they eventually become
fully grown adults. Finally, the adult fish
travel back upstream to spawning
areas of rivers; here they reproduce
and lay their eggs, and the life cycle
begins anew.
