The diagram below shows the development of cutting tools in the Stone Age.
Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.
Bài mẫu:
The two pictures compare 2 Stone Age cutting tools which were probably made and used by ancient people.
In general, while tool A was relatively simple and rudimentary, tool B was more refined.
First, 1.4 million years ago, tool A’s measurements were approximately 9 cm in length and 5 cm in width. From the front view, it had a rough surface. With a tapering shape, its biggest part was the middle, while the two ends were much smaller. The side view shows its thickness at about 2.5 cm. In the back, the large bottom part was perhaps the handle, while the pointy tip served the cutting purpose.
Dating back to 800,000 thousand years ago, tool B was nearly 12 cm long and 8 cm wide, which was significantly larger than tool A. From the front view, tool B closely resembled a water drop with a pointy tip and a round bottom. From the side view, both the edge and the tip seem straight and sharper than tool A. The back view clearly displays the bigger size of tool B compared to tool A. (186)
