Introduction and overview:
The line chart provides information about the number of visitors who went to a Caribbean island and chose to stay between two different types of accomodation from 2010 to 2017. Overall, the number of tourists staying on cruise ships or on the island had increased significantly over the period of time, resulting in a massive leap in the number of vistors visiting this location. Island – 2010/2011 (stable) – 2013/2014/2015 – highest peak 1.5 m – 2016 witnessed a slight decrease – 2017 increase back to the previous peak. The number of tourists who traveled to and chose to settled on this island stabilized at around 750000 in the first two years before increasing significantly to a peak of 1.5 million from 2013 to 2015. After witnessing a slight decrease of around 250000 in 2016, the figure increased back to its previous peak in 2017. Cruise ships – 2010 (250000) slight increase – 2011 (500000) - after slightly decreasing back to its old figures at approximately 250000 in 2012 – 2013 to 2017, experience a sharp growth from 500000 to 2 million. (Chú ý, từ sau 2016, thì cruise ships trở nên popular nhất so vs vc ở trên island) In 2010, the island welcomed around 250000 vistors who decided to stay on a cruise ship. After that, it increased slightly to 500000 in 2011 before plunging gradually back to the starting level in 2012. Nevertheless, it experienced a sharp growth afterwards, as in 2017, around 2 million passengers chose this accomodation, surpassing the number of individuals settling on the island. From 2016 onwards, staying on cruise ships had become the most popular accomodation types to stay on for their trips to this location. Thanks to the massive increases in the number of visitors choosing both types of accomodation, the total number of passengers to this particular Caribbean island had jumped impressively from only 1 million in 2010 to 3.5 million in 2017, constituting a more than 3-fold surge. The chart below shows the results of a survey about people’s coffee and tea buying and drinking habits in five Australian cities.

Introduction and overview:
The bar chart above illustrates the percentage of individuals purchasing and consuming habits of coffee and tea in five different cities in Australia. Overall, instant coffee was more popular than its fresh counterpart based on the percentage of residents who purchased each of them in the past one month in all surveyed cities. Fresh – Sydney and Melbourne – 42% - 44% Hobart – around 38% Brisban and Adelaide – 35% In Sydney and Melbourne, around 42% to 44% of residents living in these cities purchased fresh coffee in the last four weeks, making them the highest numbers compared to the three remaining cities. The percentage of individuals in Hobart buying the same product in this timeframe was slightly lower, approximately 38%. In both Brisban and Adelaide, around 35% of citizens paid for this coffee version in the last four weeks. Instant – Brisban and Hobart – 52% to 54% - highest Adelaide – exactly 50% Sydney and Melbourne – 45% to 48% The percentage of people living in both Brisban and Hobart who purchased instant coffee in the past four weeks was from 52% to 54%, making it the highest proportion of residents buying this type of coffee among all other cities. The number was slightly lower for Adelaide with precisely 50%, while around 45% to 48% of citizens in Sydney and Melbourne had this type of purchase in the surveyed timeframe. Café – Melbourne and Hobart – 63% to 64% Sydney – 61% Brisban – 55% Adelaide – 48% In the last one month, around 63% to 64% of individuals living in Melbourne and Hobart went to a café for coffee and tea, the highest percentage among all the three remaining cities. Sydney’s percentage of residents going to a café in the same timeframe was slightly lower, around 61%, the same thing happened to Brisban’s and Adelaide’s numbers of citizens coming to a café to drink tea or coffee in the past 4 weeks, respectively around 55% and 48%.
Introduction and overview:
The process provides information about the steps that need to be taken to produce bricks. Overall, the entire procedure consists of three main phases, including the extraction of raw materials and shaping the bricks, applying heat on them, and packaging and delivery. First phase: In the first step, a digger extracts clay from the ground. The extracted clay is then sifted on a metal grid before falling on a roller. The sifted clay is then mixed with sand and water before being shaped into bricks using either a wire cutter or a mould. The first step begins with the extraction of the clay from the ground using a digger. This extracted clay is then sifted to ensure consistency as a metal grid breaks down clumps in the clay. After that, the sifted clay is conveyed on a roller before being mixed with sand and water and taken on the shape of a brick using either a wire cutter or a mould. Second phase: These freshly shaped bricks are then taken to the drying oven for drying from one to two days. They are then moved to the heating kiln for heating. The first one has a moderate level of heat ranging from 200 to 980 degrees Celcius, the second one has a higher level of heat, from 870 to 1300 degrees Celcius. The colour of the bricks in the second kiln resulted in a brighter shade of colour. After being heated, they are cooled down in a cooling chamber for two to three days. A process of dehydration occurs in the next stage as the freshly shaped bricks lose their water content in a drying oven from one to two days. The dehydrated bricks are then heated in two different kilns. The first one employs/ applies a moderate level of heat, ranging from 200 to 980 degrees Celcius, while the second one uses a much higher level from 870 to 1300 degrees Celcius. In the second kiln, the colour of the bricks takes on a much brighter hue. After being heated, the bricks are then allowed to cool down in a cooling chamber from two to three days. Last phase: In the last step, the bricks are then being trasferred to package into a huge block of bricks before being put in a truck for delivering. In the last stage of the process, the bricks are then being packaged into large prism blocks before being transported to consumers by a truck. Introduction and overview (ko đc đưa thông tin chi tiết vào, ko đc thêm tên vào lun) (main trend và differences thoi): Overview – playing fields – nhỏ đi Library – đổi thành learning resources centre và có thêm computer room The map above illustrates the differences in the school campus in two periods of time, 1985 and now. Overall, a prominent area at the bottom of the map has its size reduced to accommodate more teaching facilities. Also, a conventional teaching facility on the left side of the map has been upgraded with modernized equipments. Các differences: School population: change, playing fields reduced size, make space for new building (on the right/left side) One of the most remarkable changes in the map is that the playing fields have their sizes reduced by roughly 50%. This reduction allows the construction of a classroom block, a pool, and a fitness centre on the left side. On the right side, a new storey has been added to the existing block, while another block of classrooms has been built closer to the playing fields. Moreover, there has been a change in the number of enrollment in the school with the additional 800 students. Library changes, office changes direction (vertically), more trees, rectangular car park becomes more like a half circle, road becomes more curvy, get rid of the additional small car park, and extra classrooms. Importantly, the library and its surrounding components have also changed drastically. This learning facility has become a learning resources centre with a built-in computer room. While the office building remains intact, the small car park has been completely removed. The main car park has also been altered. Its shape has changed from being rectangular to more circular, while the middle route previously connecting it with the playing fields has been removed, instead a group of trees is being planted in the middle of the campus.
