Ielts Academic Writing Task 1 The diagram below shows how a mechanical arm works

 

The diagram below shows how a mechanical arm works, and how the joints that make up the arm function in the same way as those in a human arm. Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant

 

The given diagram elucidates how a robotic arm works in a similar fashion to a human arm while performing tasks such as spray painting, drilling and welding. 

Overall, a mechanical arm is controlled by three computer monitored  motors and has joints similar to a human arm.  

 This arm is anchored to the foundation at the shoulder. This base is usually not moving, but sometimes it is movable. The movement of raising or lowering the arm is supported by the pivot installed between the shoulder and the base. This part also allows rotation of the whole arm, allowing it to work just like a human shoulder. 

The elbow in the middle allows free movement including flexing and rotating, affording complete flexibility to the whole equipment. Similarly,   the wrist of the mechanical arm functions just like a human counterpart allowing hand free movement, gripper  in this case. Gripper is equipped  with sensors to control force of hold. Gripper can be replaced by other end-effectors:  spray paint, drilling and welding metals.

The bar chart below shows the percentage of Australian men and  women in different age groups who did regular physical activity in 2010.

Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.  

The given bar chart illustrates the participation of Australian men and women in regular physical regimes in different age groups, in 2010. 

 

Overall, age-wise patterns of both the genders were inversely proportional to each other, where lesser men undertook such activities as the age rose to a certain point, participation of women rose, but in 65 and over, both the genders had equal engagement. Similarly, the highest participation in males was in the youngest age group while among women it was at the peak in the oldest.

 The given pie charts elucidate changes in the use of different fuels for electricity production in Australia and France between 1980 and 2000.

Overall, although in  the two decades, the dependence of both the countries shifted to a single fuel ,Australia was already using coal as a major fuel , while France used a mix of different sources in 1980.

Australia,in 1980,produced 100 units, majorly using coal, 50 units , followed by natural gas and hydro power, 20 units each and oil, 10 units. From 1980 to 2000, the production rose to 170, and coal became prominent, producing 130 units. Hydro power also rose to 36 units, but other fuels fell dramatically. 

However, France used a mix of fuels in 1980 and produced 90 units, producing 25 units each from coal and natural gas, 20 with oil, 15 with nuclear and 5 with hydro power. However, there was a major shift in 20 years with nuclear power producing 126 units out of 180 while others were used sparingly.
