Environment protection of the enviroment
Task question: Individuals can do nothing to improve the environment; only governments
and large companies can make a difference. To what extent do you agree or disagree.
We live in a time when environment is in danger, so it’s important to protect it. Some people
claim that the responsibility of saving environment belongs to governments and large firms. I
disagree with this view because I believe that this vital mission needs participations of the
whole communities.
At first, environment devastation is a long run process which is caused mostly by pollution and
waste. These biggest threats not only come from a single company or nation, but also initiate
from all humans society due to industrialization and modernization. And more clearly, no
institution or government could have sufficient resources to do this huge mission. So
environment protection needs all individuals to take part in together.
In some aspects, communities have large impacts to firm activities and government policies.
For instance, the unions of consumers could make pressures on the companies by saying no to
any products which can cause environment pollution and only use products with less
packaging, recycle as much as possible. Generally speaking, by changing consumer ‘s habits,
we can alter the ways the companies serve their customers.
Moreover, governments can certainly make effort to protect our green planet. They could
introduce laws to limit the pollutive emissions from manufacturers and to force them to use
eco-friendly and renewable energies from solar, wind and hydro as a alternation. The policy
makers could also develop a system of public transports and encourage people to use them.
When people change the ways of moving and tend to use public vehicles, the air pollution can
be reduced.
In conclusion, each individual should play their role to ecosystem protection, even a small
effort. If we have a healthy environment, not only can few group make profit from it, but also
the whole communities.

Task 1: The table below gives information on consumer spending on different items in 5
countries in 2002
Country
Ireland
Italy
Spain
Sweden
Turkey
Food, Drink and
tobacco
28.91%
16.36%
18.80%
15.77%
32.14%
Clothing and
Footwear
6.43%
9.00%
6.51%
5.40%
6.63%
Leisure and
Education
2.21%
3.20%
1.98%
3.22%
4.35%
The table provides statistics of expenditure at consumer level on a variety of items in 5
countries in 2002.
Clearly, the most significant numbers come from Food, Drink and Tobacco area. In this section,
Turkey is the country which expends the most at 32.14%. Fairly less then Turkey is Ireland
which people in this country spends 28.91% of their outlays to Food, Beverage and Cigarettes.
The other nations spend much less than the two top countries in which their number just equal
nearly half of Turkey percentage.
On the other hand, in Clothing and Footwear section, the table demonstrates the highest
number of 9.00%, which belongs to Italy. 4 other countries remain consumption in these
commodities at nearly same level of from 5.40% to 6.51%. On statistics of the last servicing,
Leisure and Education, portrays the least portion of consumption, compared to the 2 sections
which have been illustrated before. In this section, it’s obvious to see that Turkey once again
become the biggest country on spending for Leisure and Education, whereas the smallest is
Spain which residents consume just nearly half. The others account this servicing outlay from
2.21% to 3.22%.
Overall, Food, Drink and Tobacco take the most substantial percentage of consumption into
account among 3 items while the Leisure and Education is the least-consumed service.
The pie chart illustrates the proportion of Food outlays which families expensed on restaurants
while the line graph presents a comparation between fast food meals and sit-down restaurant
ones.
Overall, the amount of money used for restaurant meals significantly increased during the years
from 1970 to 2000. On the flip side, the number of fast food meals in restaurant tended to rise
more dramatically than the sit-down meals which slowed down gradually during the same
period.
In 1970, the percentage of food budget expensed on restaurant meals was just 10%. This ratio
strongly increased 10 years after that at 15% in 1980 and kept jumping significantly in the next
20 year at 35% in 1990 and 50% in 2000, 5-fold compared to the initial 1970. The biggest
amount of increase was between 1980 and 1990 at which the rising percentage was 20%.
Closer to eating behavior in restaurant, the number of fast food meals demonstrated a more
dramatical upward trend relative to the amount of sit-down meals. Although begin at the same
level in 1970, the number of fast food meals jumped substantially until 2000 while people
tended to reduce gradually the habit of sitting down for eating.

It is true that poor countries need aids for eliminating the poverty and creating motivation for
development. There could be several solutions for helping these nations, and I strongly believe
that advanced technologies and talents should be the key factors rather than direct financing.
It is widely accepted that technologies are one of the most essential elements for countries ‘s
innovation and industrialization. Historically, high-tech applying have been proving as the
effective driving force to enhance productivity, quality of product, management and thus, can
raise the personal income and living standard. Technologies also provide an environment for
sustainable development. Therefore, aiding technologies can help the poor countries to make
wealthy fortune upon their resources.
On the other hand, human resources play a vital role on motivating the whole society to escape
from poverty. Developing countries can assist by sending experts to poor nations to help them
construct the roads, buildings, infrastructures as well as running production lines effectively.
Rich countries can also train the talents and engineers of the poors by giving opportunities and
scholarship for them to study abroad. When they come back, poor nations will have a highskilled workforce who are ready to dedicate all knowledge and effort to build their hometown.
Clearly, with high level of education, this new flexible and intelligent teams will effectively
employ nation’s outlays and optimize the underlying powers.
In conclusion, while money can help poor countries tackle the current difficulties, I believe that
technologies and talents are the truly supportive factors that can help them to transform in long
term.
It’s true that globalization is one of the most popular tendency todays which changes the
appearance of many nations. Some people think that countries can benefit a lot from that
interractions on developing economy, education and society. Nevertheless, it also raises a
question in others that national identities could be undermined and diluted. In my opinions, I
definitely believe that globalization not only leads to acceleration of economic growth, but also
encourage the development of national identities.
First, international trade plays such an critical role that significantly increase domestic business
activities. Countries producing products with favourable price and good quality can find their
ways into others market and make lots of profit from that. Besides, any nations which have
appropriate policies can attract investments from international institutionals. That is a new
resources for improving infrastructure and creating jobs.
On the other hand, by interraction, natural culture and identities have opportunities to approach
the worldwide society. It should be noted that culture of a country is a uniquely mental food
that most of people want to contemplate. For example, when a traditional performance or
celebration of country have been introduced and become popular. Thus, the attention on that
identity would be raised.
However, some would argue that cultural contacts will make new generation discerning other
culture and forget traditional identities. For example, the youth nowadays have propensity to
follow new habits such as eating fast food, communicating much on internet. But it ‘s just the
impacts of modernization. In that condition, many remarkably traditional cultures are preserved
and widespread.
In conclusion, globalization not only serves as a means of accelerating economy, but also opens
an opportunity for nations to emphasize their cultural identities, among the negative arguments.
The charts show data of different indicators which illustrate situation on education and science between
developing and industialized countries in the year of 1980 and 1990.
Clearly, the statistics of industialized nations are significantly dorminant rather than the same figures of
developing nations. All three measures, which are years of school, proportions of scientists and
technicians and research and development outlays, depict a considerably higher columms in
industialised countries in both years of 1980 and 1990.
On the other side, the chart also presents the propensity of each item in these regions. In industialized
countries, all three measures increased strongly during the time from 1980 to 1990. Conversely, the
developing countries have showed more modest growths on the everage years of school and the
proportion of scientists and technicians. The biggest divergence is the amount of spending on research
and development, which witnessed a fairly substantial decrease in developing countries, which was
opposited to the approximately two-fold increase in industialized nations.
In conclusion, by comparing the participation of education and science in countries, we can have some
insights into the current growth of these areas as well as the tendency of each barometer.
It ‘s true that children benefit a lot when they are encouraged to participate in paid job. While some
people argue that this is totally wrong, I strongly believe that this is completely a true method for
children to learn about realistic situation and understand responsibility.
In my opinion, working can help children study from different perspective. While in school, they are
learning theoritically, working in real condition can impulse them to apply all their knowledge
absorbed before. Moreover, paid work also supplies a lot of understandings on how to tackle the
problem, how to work privately or interact and communicate in a group as well as exploit the strengths
of each individual. After all, by engaged in paid work, children have opportunities to improve their
realistic experiences as well as social skills.
On the other hand, children can have income when taking part in paid job. That provides them outlays
to meet their basic needs without depending on their parent’s money. In this way, children will learn
how to live independently.Futhermore, working hard lets them realize the true value of assets. Most of
children have propensity of spending money of their parent on everything they want and sometimes,
this tendency become wasteful. Having to work, they will understand how tough their parent is when
working to bring money home. Therefore, that can totally change the children’s perception, make them
live with more responsibility with their asset.
In conclusion, I fully support the idea that placing children into working environment can be a effective
measure to educate them besides the school.
There is no doubt that technologies bring a lot of advantages and obsolutely change our lifestyles. Although
some people argue that technologies are killing conventional skills, personally I think that in some aspects,
human’s abilities have dominant position in modern society.
First, although technologies provide a significant force to absolutely innovate industry, such as replacing many
industrial job and considerably liff production capacity,
and large companies can make a difference. To what extent do you agree or disagree.
We live in a time when environment is in danger, so it’s important to protect it. Some people
claim that the responsibility of saving environment belongs to governments and large firms. I
