Task 5

      The pie charts show us the studies from surveys done by the passengers from the airline about the most popular features in business and economy class while being divided between the two genders, males and females, in terms of percentage in the year 2002.

      Let's first look at the economy class results. The ladies chose service as the most important feature for them, but on the other hand, the gentlemen chose space. Making up for about 45% and 50% respectively. However, both genders chose about the same for the movies feature and food or drinks, which are 9% for movies and 21% for food in girls prespective and 7% for movies and 19% for food for in boys opinion. For the business surveys, the result between men and women were almost the same with juts few differences in the numbers.

      In summary, the studies show the different taste of which is important over the other for each sex and each of the two classes.

Task 4

         In life, there are alot of factors that influence people's way of life, personality and behavior. The factprs are catogrized under either the mass media and directly from life. In this essay I'll discuss some of the factors of both sides.

        Mass media does affect the lives of people, atleast to some point. To start with, TV can influence them through movies, shows or advertisements. To illustrate, it can influence people that killing, stealing or even drugs are not bad or give them ideas of how to commit crimes, however, it can also enhance their minds in a bright way to solve issues or be creative. Another media factor is the newspaper. Reading the newspaper gives the reader information about the world, like incidents that are occuring in other countries or gloval issues.

       Putting media aside, let's now look at how people can get affected directly from life. One of the biggest influential factors is religion. To clarify, religion is one way of being told what's rightful to do or wrong, but also depends on how strong the person's belief in that religion is. Also, family, friends and the people around you influence you in a great way. Family does it by raising you and being with you in the household and friends by telling you what's nice to do or not based on their point of view.

       In conclusion what, people are influenced by is a two sided sword, it depends what they take and use, but being yourself and living to get your own experience is what I believe is best.

Portfolio Task 3

The graph and table show the number of fishermen in different regions in terms of millions from 1970 to 2000 and the world’s top ten fish exporting countries in 2000.

                                In the graph we could see that the number of fishermen varies. For starters, it tells us that Asia’s fishermen went up by 4 million in the first 10 years but then doubled in the next 20 years. On the other hand in Africa their numbers dropped to 2.5 million. However, the number of fishermen remained steady during the period of thirty years. North America however, witnessed a great increase in fishermen by exactly triple what it was and then leveled off at between 1980 and 2000. Finally, looking at Europe, we can see that the number fluctuated from 12 million to 7 million and then back the same from 1970 to 1980, 1980 to 2000.

                                The table illustrates the top ten exporters of fish and the one on top is Thailand, an Asian country. The second fish exporter is Norway from Europe. In contrast, Indonesia and South Korea in Asia are the last in the top ten exporters list.

                                In conclusion, the number of fishermen varied in numbers in almost all regions, and while Asia had the highest fishermen numbers, it took 5 ranks of the top ten list of fish exporters.

Portfolion Task 2

                                In modern life, moving and traveling to new countries and cities is very common. However, when people move they might have a few difficulties. In this essay I will outline some of the problems with their solutions.

                                There are a few difficulties that at least some people definitely face when they move to a new country or city. To start with, communication could be the most chronic problem faced in foreign countries. Being unable to communicate would lead to getting lost or even some unfortunate misunderstandings.  Another challenge would be, religion, which is very important to some people. Because of this in foreign countries it defies or conflict with their religious beliefs in some angles or as a whole.

                                Despite all the difficulties, solutions are able to be found. To solve some of the communication difficulties people need to educate themselves depending on which country they’re going to. That’s to say, they should either learn the language before they move and if they weren’t able to then learning the basics for that country and if that wasn’t possible either, then they should learn a common language. In addition, religious problems can be solved by asking other people for information, although it would be best if they ask others like them who were in the same situation but have experience in it.

                                In conclusion, throughout the whole problems and solutions, I believe that adaptation is the best solution for moving to settle in a different country or city even if it was in their own way.

                                The first graph shows the films shown in Britain and Australia in terms of percentage by origin in 2000, while the other graph shows the attendance in cinemas in Britain and Australia between 1980 and 2000.

The number of attendees in Britain fluctuated from 1980 till 1990 as they started to steadily increase to 150 million in 2000. For Australia, their numbers dipped at 1982 and then leveled out until 1990 and after it their numbers started to grow throughout the rest of the period.
