Task 5: Airline Survey in 2002 of economy and business class travelers


            The pie chart illustrates the studies from surveys that have been done by passengers from the airline about the most popular features in business and economy classes while being divided between the two genders, males and females, in terms of percentage in the year 2002.

            Let’s first look at the results of the economy class. The most significant feature the females chose was the service which was 45% if the pie chart. On the other hand, the males preferred space which took almost the half instead. However, almost the same amounts of percentage were on movies and food or drinks for both genders.

            Having looked at the economy class, now let’s turn our attention to the business class. It seemed like the results between men and women were almost the same with just a slight difference in the figures, but both genders mostly preferred space.

            All in all, the results show what’s important for both genders and what do they prefer over the other in two different classes.

Task 4: What Influences People’s Way of Life

In life in general, there are a lot of factors that influence people's way of life. To be more specific, these factors are categorized under either the mass media or from the life itself and family. In this essay I'll discuss some of the factors of both sides.
Let's first look at the media. The media does affect the lives of people. Firstly, 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. On the other hand, 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 occurring in other countries or global issues.
Since we have looked at the media, let's turn our attention to how people can get affected directly from life and family. One of the huge influential factors is the 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, the family has the biggest influence on the people in my opinion, because when they raise a baby, they teach him almost everything along with the religion. Still this baby will raise his own experience as soon as he understands life and will be himself.

Task 3: Fishermen by Region

            The graph and table show the number of fishermen in millions for different regions between 1970, 1980 and 2000, and the world’s top ten exporters of fish in 2000.

            In the bar chart, it’s noticeable that the number of fishermen varies. For starters, the number of fishermen increased by almost 3 million from the year 1970 to 1980 and rocketed again in the next 20 years from 14 to 26 million. On the other hand, the numbers of fishermen sharply decreased.  For example, in the years 1970, 1980 and 2000 the figures were approximately 12, 9 and 3 million respectively. Fishermen in South America remained steady during the period of 30 years.

            The table illustrates the world’s top ten exporters of fish in the year 2000. Thailand in Asia was the first exporter in the year. The second highest exporter was Norway from Europe. Finally, the 10th exporter country was South Korea in Asia.

            In conclusion, the number of fishermen varied in numbers between the regions and Asia had the highest fishermen among them and half of the exporting countries are from Asia.
