The two maps illustrate main alternations which have taken place in the town of Kimsville

between the year 2002 and today.

In general, it appears that Kimsville has become a much more urbanized city, with new
apartments, working places and leisure activity centres.
A notable change has been a conversion of the old factory into a software company, to
make more working places and reduce air pollution. Another striking change is that trees in the
southwest and northwest of the city have been cut down to make way for a football stadium and
new apartments. Another significant alternation has been the construction of a new train station
in the west of the town. All of these changes show that city has become more populated since
2002.
If we look at the city centre, it hasn’t changed. Also, the shopping centre has remained the
same. At the bottom of the city centre there used to be old cinema, however it has been
converted into a pub.

The picture illustrates how people make tomato ketchup and how it is delivered to the
supermarkets to be sold and used by customers.
Overall, there are 15 stages in the diagram, from picking tomatoes and putting them in
basket to enjoying it with hamburgers and fries.
The first step is that the tomatoes are picked and put in baskets, then they are sorted into
good and bad ones. Subsequently after being sent to a factory, their stalks, skin and seeds are
removed. After that they are put into containers to be crushed. At this point sugar, vinegar and
salt is added to it and then it is boiled. Finally, after being left for two hours ketchup is ready.
In order to use it in your meal, first of all it is poured into a bottle, which is labelled and
passed to a quality control. Once, the bottles of ketchup have been collected into boxes, then they
are delivered to supermarkets where you can buy this product and enjoy during your meal.

1. The table represents the data about earnings of secondary / high school teachers in
five different countries in the year 2009.
Overall, what stands out from the table is that changes for Australian and Denmark
teachers were similar while for the rest of countries like Luxemburg, Korea and Japan they took
a lot of time to reach the top salary. Moreover, annual salary and maximum witnessed
considerable decrease in these countries.
Looking at the details, as regards school teacher salaries in Australia, the figure started at
$34600 and rose to $48000, which was the same for salary per year and maximum. The same
tendency was observed concerning Denmark teacher earnings, where the figure grew slightly
from $47000 to $54000 approximately in a decade.
With regard to teacher salaries in Luxemburg and two Asian countries, the figure grew
remarkably and took more than 30 years. Earnings doubled in Korea and Japan reaching $84500
and $62400, respectively. The highest salary was in Luxemburg. Starting at $80000 then
constantly growing to $112000 and reaching the maximum at 139000, remaining as the highest
figure among 5 countries.
 2.
This bar graph compares average sales of items, like hot coffee, iced coffee, ice cream,
soup, salad during winter and summer time on a daily basis.
Overall, it can be seen that hot coffee and soup are most required during cold weather,
while iced coffee and ice cream are the most popular servings sold in hot weather.
In terms of sales over winter, hot coffee come top of the list, at around 75 sales. The next
best seller is soup, with exactly 50 sales. As regards purchase during hot weather, iced coffee is
the number one product at around 40 sales. However, in winter this item is not as popular as in
summer. It’s obvious that ice cream come next as one of top requirements, with just under 40
servings.
Items like salad, soup in summer and ice-cream in winter are sold in the same number at
around 25, which figure is two times lower compared to soup servings during winter. In
addition, hot coffee in summer is not as popular as in winter due to the fact of weather, at around
30 sales.

3. The graph illustrates the data about how many UK residents travelled abroad and the
percentages of people who came to the UK in a 20-year period of time between 1979 and 1999.
Looking from an overall perspective, it can be noticed that there were upward trends in
both movements, however visits abroad witnessed constant increase and were far ahead of visits
to the UK.
Starting at just over a tenth in 1979, travels abroad rose gradually to a fifth, afterwards
approximately in two years it soared at just under a third. After it the figure increased
dramatically by just over half in a decade.
As regards travels to the UK by overseas residents, having started at a tenth the figure
doubled marginally over a decade. Then the trend witnessed a slight increase after which it
levelled off from 1994 till the end of the time period covered by the graph.

4. The pie-charts illustrate the primary reasons that people came to and left the UK in
2007.
Overall what stands out from the chart is that the main reason for these movements was
having a certain job.
The proportion of people who had a definite job was similar for immigration and
emigration with a slight difference at 30 % and 29 %, respectively. Another factor that
influenced settling in the UK was formal study which accounted for 26 % while the figure
comprised a small minority of emigrants at only 4%. Also, the number of people entering the UK
to find a job was as twice lower as those who moved away for this purpose.
It is worth noticing that another factor influencing a move to the UK was for
accompanying a family member, with the quite similar figures at less than a fifth. A significant
number of people, 32 %, left the UK for no reason (18%) or gave “other” reasons (14%), this
made up only just under a fifth to immigration.
 The bar chart illustrates the monthly expenditure of an American family on three things in
2010.
Overall, what stands from the graph is that there were some upward trends as well as
downward in spending on food, gas and clothing from January till April.
According to the chart expenditures in February and April were considerably higher than
in January and March. The most money-losing item was clothing which costed much higher in
April compared to January, at around above $600 and under $600 respectively. An upward trend
can be observed in spending on gas which rose remarkably from over $200 in February to
approximately $600 in April.
The least spending can be seen in March when over $400 were spend on food which was
the lowest figure compared with other months. Another distinctive point is that the least money-
losing thing of all was clothing in January at a bit more $200. Moreover, spending on food
decreased from February, costing just over $300 in April.

The chart illustrates on average how many nutrients are consumed by people in America
on a daily basis.
Overall, it is clear that nutrients under discussion like sodium, saturated fat and added
sugar, are used in different quantity during daily meal.
In terms of consumption during dinner the most popular item is sodium which is consumed
at 43 % whereas saturated fat is considerably less popular at 37 %. Another distinctive point is
that sodium is added to lunch at 29 %, just ahead of saturated fat at 26 %. Also, during breakfast
saturated fat is as less popular as added sugar at 16 % each of them.
The number-one nutrient in snacks is added sugar at 42 % which is twice higher than
saturated fat and three times higher than sodium. Unfortunately, it constitutes approximately half
of the daily nutrients which can entail serious health problems. Last but not least there is twice as
many sodium added to dinner as added sugar, at 43 % and 23 % respectively.
 One of the widely discussed issues nowadays is multitudes suffering from stress. It is
undeniable that currently societies are wealthier than they were before. However, this fact can’t
hide the reality concerning the anxiety people are undergoing today. This essay will look at some
causes of the issue and suggest appropriate solutions for them.
One of the main aspects of the problem is connected with work due to the fact that it plays
an important role in every human’s life. Such problems as being unhappy in your job, having a
heavy workload or too much responsibility lead to serious mental tension. If it is not properly
addressed, it might result in serious consequences as well as chronic stress, loss of a job, or even
hearse ones. To tackle this problem people should address to their mentors or managers at work
in order to get some help in reducing the burden of job.
The second cause that might be noted, in my view, is financial illiteracy that entails wide
range of shallow problems. Contemporary people are becoming so vulnerable that they can’t
resist the temptation of market following them everywhere. That is why they purchase cutting
edge gadgets, luxury houses or cars even they can’t afford them by running into debt. Moreover,
people used to take different kinds of loans with high percentages and when it comes to paying
back, they face with great pressure from banks or people who gave them loans. The way forward
might be to distribute money wisely in advance and not give way to any kind of enticement.
Having weighed everything mentioned up, we come to a conclusion that individuals are
commonly under a strain by virtue of work or financial illiteracy which could be addressed by
turning to employer for help and distributing money properly. In cases of chronic stress actions
must be taken urgently, otherwise we will get severe outcomes.
 Nowadays the problem of obesity is at the edge of becoming a commonplace all over the
world. This issue affects people of all ages from children to elderly causing great health
problems. This essay will look at the reasons for this and suggest some solutions.
One of the main causes of this concern is lack of movement or sedentary lifestyle. It is true
that due to the technological advancement human lifestyle has dramatically changed. Provided
with conveniences like electronic devices and internet connection people at work have to stay in
front of the screen without doing any kind of physical activities. Like their parents, children are
also glued to their smartphones playing video games, watching films or chatting with friends. As
a consequence, calories continue to gather. The way forward for employers might be to provide
their staff with physical training spaces with all the facilities or make their employer to attend
gyms on a regular basis. As regards overweight children, parents should control their kids’
pastime limiting time for gadgets and increasing hours outdoors or attending additional physical
trainings.
Another problem is that many children and adults, today, eat more and more junk food
which is always rich in calorie and fats. This is due to the fact that people are always busy at
work, they have poor work-life balance and lack of time for preparing at home. That’s why
processed or prepackaged food is the best bet in such cases in spite of its fattening effects and
chemical additives. It’s hard to eliminate fast food from your lifestyle however it’s better to try
to reduce its frequent usage substituting it with healthier nutrients.
To sum up, obesity has become one of the urgent issues due to such reasons as fast food
and sedentary lifestyle. This is a serious problem, and unless people start taking exercises or
limit fast food consumption, the case will not get better. My view is that the responsibility for
solving the problem lies with parents and employers.
