Writing Task One:

The figure shows the variation in the emission of carbon dioxide in 4 different countries between 1967 and 2007.

In 1967, the most average carbon dioxide emission is in United Kingdom and is around 11 metrics tones and the least one is in Portugal(<2 metric tonnes). In Sweden, it’s about 8.5 metric tonnes and in Italy, it’s about 4 metric tonnes.

In Italy and Portugal, the average carbon dioxide emissions per person increases steadily during that period. And, the production of carbon dioxide in United Kingdom is decreasing slowly between 1967 and 2007. During 1967 and 1977, the production of carbon dioxide in Sweden is increasing and reaches the peak in 1977, then it begins to decrease dramatically from 1977.

The production of carbon dioxide in United Kingdom is the most among these 4 countries during the period of this time. While, it is always the least in Portugal. From 1967 to 1987, the production of carbon dioxide in Sweden is larger than that in Italy, while, from 1987 that in Italy is larger than Sweden.

In conclusion, there are 2 curves are increasing and one curve is decreasing, and the variation in Sweden is largest.

Writing Task 2:

Many may say, and I agree, that today’s society has almost erased all its boarders and soon will become limitless in what concerns travelling for both work and pleasure. Therefore, if this is to happen, then learning a new language is necessary.

Nowadays, learning a new language for the purpose of working in other countries seems to become more and more popular. Adults in need of money or why not recognition are trying to pursue their happiness for away from home. Also, the key days of employers looking only for capable people have gone, but they also want people who know more than their mother tongue. Sooner or later, those who omitted learning more are prone to become jobless.

However, to my mind, a new language shouldn’t be learned just for travelling or working in a foreign country. A foreign language should help the learner broadehis mind. By this I mean that the new language should and will allow us to understand more about the world itself, and maybe our ancestors’ ways of thinking and acting. Needless to say, knowing another language will help us when it comes to understanding the human race, because language is the first poem of a society.

All of this being said, I believe that learning a different language should be not only for satisfying our physical needs, like money, but also our moral needs, because never before had such a big thirst for knowledge been displayed.
