The table depicts how much rice, wheat, and maize is consumed in four different

countries.
Overall, it is transparent from the table that the main food in Cambodia is rice, in
Poland and Egypt is wheat, and in Mexico is maize. Noteworthily, unlike other
nations, apart from the major food, the consumptions of other foods such as rice
and maize in Egypt are relatively high.
The consumption of rice in Cambodia is highest with 1445 calories, followed by
Egypt with over 500 calories per day for rice. However, the use of wheat in Egypt
is much higher than in Cambodia (1095 calories in comparison to 18 calories).
Worth mentioning, the consumption of maize in Egypt is nearly five times as high
as in Cambodia. Although the consumption of rice in Mexico is three times as high
as in Poland, the consumption of wheat in Poland is 590 calories per day higher
than in Mexico. Outstandingly, no one in Poland eats maize which is preferable in
Mexico with roughly 1100 calories consumed in each day.

Task 2 : Some people think that it's important to spend a lot of money on family
celebrations (e.g. weddings, birthdays). But some people say that expensive
celebrations are a waste of money. Discuss both views and give your own opinion?

The current ages have witnessed two opinions about family occasions clashing
over: while some people harbor a perception that allocating handsome money for
domestic celebrations is of paramount importance, others subscribe to the
contention that being less wasted in home occasions is more crucial. As a critical
response to this pressing phenomenon, this essay will elaborate on both sides
before giving my own opinion.
On the one hand, diverting a great amount of the family budget for occasional
celebrations is pivotal to tightening the family tie. In turn, these great occasions
will improve relationships between family members and avoid acute repercussions
caused by conflicts such as divorce. It may be because they have a chance to show
their opinion and respect toward other members. Clearly, family parties are also
occasions when children show their appreciation and wish to the elderly, which
bridges the generation gaps. Additionally, on important occasions such as
weddings and birthdays, spending big money for preparation also expresses respect
for family values and creates unforgettable memories.
On the other hand, spending too much on domestic parties and celebrations is
extravagant, especially on unimportant occasions. Conspicuously, expensive but
superfluous family parties can curb the budget for other more important affairs
such as medical treatment and daily food. Moreover, after wasting huge money on
luxurious domestic parties, many people need to trim their budget for the following
days, which leads to an uncomfortable and alarming lifestyle with a poor diet and
excessive work. Gradually, they will suffer from fatal health problems which costs
another huge budget for treatments.
As a recapitulation, while spending much money on some important family
occasions is necessary, the budget diverted to other unimportant ones should be
lessened. Therefore, every family member needs to be cognizant of which
occasions to spend money on in order to not only be indulged in happiness and
excitement, but also avoid contingencies.
