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.

Portfolio Task 1

                                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. Overall it shows the popularity of movie origin types and the increase in attendance.

                                Graph 1 shows the origin of movies played in the two countries by percentages in 2000. Most movies shown for both countries are originally from US, making up around 78% for Britain and 68 for Australia. The least shown movies for Britain are from Australia which is even 0 percent. However, the least popular films played in Australia are British films at merely 4%.

                                Graph 2 shows the rise in the number of people attending films in Britain and Australia from 1980 to 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.

                                In conclusion, the most popular movies are from America and the attendees are increasing.
