Portfolio Task 5

These pie charts bellow show the results of an air line survey of economy class and business class travelers in terms of percentage of male or female passengers who rated a particular feature.

For starters, in economy class, we can see that, female rated the most popular flight features about 9% for movies, 45% for service and around 21% for food and drinks. While male most popular flight features were about 7% for movies, 25% for service, 19% for food and drinks and the greatest percentage took 45% for space.

Now let's turn our attention to business class. In contrast, we notice that, the most popular feature for males and females is space which was 45% for males and 41%for females. Secondly, the lowest percentage for males and females is movies, which was 9% for females and 3% for males.

To sum up, the features in the economy class are different between males and females but in the business class they are very similar in all features.     

Portfolio Task 4

Some people still think that mass media, including TV, radio and newspapers do not influence people's opt inions where as others such as I agree that mass media do play an important role in shopping people's ideas. In the following, I will write some arguments about whether I agree and disagree with this statement.

First, the mass media affects people's lives. For example, just by staying at home watching TV and using the net we can know everything happening all over the world. We also learn how to take care of ourselves like education our children and how we can improve our behavior with other people through many programs on TV, radio and internet. Secondly, mass media is very useful for us to find jobs. To clarity, looking through the newspapers, listening to the radio ore searching into the net people easily can find any jobs. Finally, the mass media helps us to communicate with other people such, chatting by using the net.

On the other side of this statement, the mass media still has some bad effects. Now days, there are more and more films shown on TV and internet. And some of them are not good for us, especially for children. Another point to take into consideration is that some news in some newspaper, TV even the net are not. True do not have integrity. 

To sum up, the arguments which were mentioned have already been discussed. In my opinion, the mass media which are good or bad depend on our purpose and the way of using it.

These two graphs show the number of fishermen in five different regions in terms of millions and the world's top ten exporters of fish in 2000.

Graph 1 shows the number of fishermen in many regions as we can see, Asia took the majority fishermen which from 11 to 26 million between 1971 to 2000, in contrast, Africa had the minority of fishermen which was decreasing slightly every ten years from 12 million to 3 million. Finally, the number of fishermen was stable at 7 million during 3 decade in South Africa.

Graph 2 shows the world's top ten exporters of fish during 2000. First of all, there were five countries from Asia listed in top ten which were Thailand, China, Taiwan, Indonesia and South Korea. However, the South Korea was the lowest countries that exports fish.

In summary, the overall picture indicates that the highest number of fishermen and fish exports were in Asia compared with other regions. 

Portfolio Task 2

Moving to new cities, either within a country or travel outside is very hard situation. One must take several considerations before leaving the home where a person grows and lives for many years. People who are planning to move to new places should know the challenge and how they can face them. In the following, I will outline some factors that have led to the challenges and suggest some solutions.

First of all, I will mention some challenges. For starters, one obvious point to take into consideration is regarding the weather. To clarify, people can get sick because they are not familiar with the weather. Yet another factor worth mentioning is in term of safety and crime issues. In other words, some places are dangerous either to live or visit. A final issue is with regard to communication. For example, without knowing the language migrants not communicate with other people.

Taking into account the challenges, let's turn our attention to some solutions. Of safe places or how many crimes can happen there by asking the people who live there, doing more research about the risky places in the country by looking the internet. One way to approach the languages to learn about country's language or a common language, take a courses which can be helpful the last solution is adapting you to a different way of life.

To sum up, the solutions which were mentioned has already been discussed. In my opinion, I believe that making a good research and have more knowledge about other countries can make the life easy to live there.
