The real budget, what to drop first, and what not to do.
Forty minutes for Task 2.
If the planning and writing go well, that leaves a minute or two. If they do not, it leaves none.
Every technique in this chapter has to survive that.
Set a timer. Correct what you reach.
Many people believes that (1) public transport should be free. (2) the cost is the main objection. (3) A research from several cities shows that usage rises sharply. In Tallinn, fares (4) was abolished in 2013 and the system (5) still works. (6) However the city is small. (7) If a larger city will try it, the costs would be very different. (8) Some councils have tried it and then stops. (9) The money has to come from somewhere, the taxpayer usually pays. (10) Its not a simple decision.
Same budget, same density. This is where the speed shows.
Working from home (1) have changed since 2020. (2) many companies now offer it in some form. (3) An information about the effects is still thin. (4) Junior staff loses the most, because they learn by sitting near colleagues. (5) Last year my firm tried a hybrid week and finds it worked well. (6) In conclusion the arrangement suits experienced people. (7) it does not suit everyone. (8) If the trend will continue, offices will shrink further. (9) Some firms have already closed theirs, others are waiting. (10) The savings are real, but (11) the cost falls on the people who are new. (12) Its too early to judge.
Harder than the exam, on purpose.
Tourism (1) bring money into historic cities. (2) the damage is harder to measure. (3) A evidence from Venice suggests residents leave first. (4) Flats was let to visitors and the schools closed. (5) If the council will cap the lets, some families may return. (6) Last summer the city tried a day charge and reports a small fall. (7) However the effect faded by September. (8) Its not clear what would work better.
