Overall, the number of annual earnings of Amandine Bakery and Bolo Cakery experienced a gradual increase, while the figure for Mari Bakeshop decreased throughout the period given In detail, the amount of money Amandine Bakery earned annually maintained the same level at about 58000 in the first 5 years, then that number rose slightly and reached its peak of over 100000 at the end of the period. The number of incomings of Bolo Cakery observed a slight fluctuation from 2000 to 2002, however, this indicator had remained stable at around 40000 before climbing to over 60000 till 2010. Although the annual earnings of Mari Bakeshop constituted the maximum number with approximately 90000 between 2000 and 2004, this number dropped considerably and hit its low of 40000 in 2008 and stayed static in the following 2 years. 164 words The chart below gives information about global population percentages and distribution of wealth by region.. Write at least 150 words. Population and wealth shares by region | | L ee es 35% ‘Population Share(%) Wealth share (%6) The bar graph illustrates the proportion of people and distribution of wealth in 8 various parts of the world. Overall, the highest percentage of population is observed in China, while North America has the maximum rate of wealth share. However, the lowest rate of both population and wealth share was seen in Africa. To begin, North America possesses the largest percentage of global wealth which is about 35%, while this ratio is minimum in Africa and India, accounting for just about 2%. Europe owns just under 30% of the worldwide wealth, which constitutes approximately a quarter in Rich-Asia Pacific. China, Other Asia-Pacific and Latin America and Caribbean share a similar percentage of wealth, standing at just over 3%. Although China leads the list with the maximum number of people (around 23%), the least indicators are experienced in North America, Latin America and Caribbean and Rich Asia- Pacific with just over 5%. 15% of people live in Europe and India, while the figure for Other Asia-Pacific is 3% more, amounting to roughly 18%.

UK and USA experienced the same and gradual rising trend from about 35% to over 55% from 1980 to 2015. A half percentage of females went into higher education in France at the beginning of the period, then this indicator climbed slightly and stood at nearly 53% in 2015. The lowest rate of females went into higher education in South Korea, which made up 15% in 1980, then doubled and constituted exactly 30% in 2015. diene 158 words The pie charts below compare the proportion of energy capacity in gigawatts (GW) in 2015 with the predictions for 2040. Energy capacity in 2015 and 2040 2015 2040 (6.688 Gw) (11.678 cw) 2% "Fossilfuels "Wind Nuclear «Solar # Other renewables The pie charts give data on the rate of energy power measured in gigawatts (GW) in 2015 with the projection for 2040. Overall, Fossil fuels account for the majority of the total percentage of energy capacity, while nuclear and wind experience the minimum figure: eriod given. In detail, fossil fuels dominate the list with the maximum percentage of energy power, which made up 64% at the beginning of the period, while it is predicted that this ratio will decrease and stand at 44% in 2040. Although the percentage of energy potential from Solar was the lowest with 2%, this will have grown dramatically and taken the third place till 2040. 23% of energy capacity originated from Other renewables in 2015, it is projected to decline and constitute 21% in 2040. The proportion of energy will reduce slightly from 6% to 5%, whilst the proportion of energy power from Wind will climb substantially , which was just 5% in 2015, and will amount to 12% at the end of the period.

PROCESS DIAGRAM Paragraph 1 - Introduction Paragraph 2 - Overview Paragraph 3 — 1st main feature Paragraph 4 — 2nd main feature The diagram below shows the recycling process of aluminium cans. Write at least 150 words. REUSING pbrecyced (UK) RECYCLING ‘ \ CLEANING, SORTING, \\ ‘SHREDDINGAND CCOMPRESSING wf) #” ROLLING 25mm 6mm thick EATING AND MELTING The given process diagram illustrates data on how aluminum cans are recycled. Overall, the procedure of recycling aluminum cans consists of seven stages which starts with collecting used cans and ends when the cans are recycled and reused. The process commences when old and used cans thrown to the rubbish bins are taken out of containers by workers and loaded to the trucks. In the following stage, the cans are carried to the collection centre by garbage truck. In the stage after this, the used cans are cleaned before sorting out the products in the factory. After this, the product is cut into shreds, flattened by pressure and compressed. The following steps involve a machine where the compressed metal is first heated and then melted. After this, it is then rolled out flat to a thickness of between 2.5mm and 6 mm, depending on what it is going to be used for. The final stage is when new recycled cans are packaged as drink containers and reused. In the UK, 74% of all aluminium cans are recycled.
