The given table depicts the data concerning how many females occupied highly regarded jobs in management in three European countries: Spain, Germany and France over a period of forty years from 1975 to 2015.

Overall, the role of female senior managers became more and more significant year by year in each country, with Spain having the most women in high positions.

To commence, despite leveling out at 3% from 1975 to 1980, the figures for Spanish female leaders witnessed a faster growth than those of the others, finishing the period at nearly two-thirds, which was the highest proportion over the time frame. On the one hand, Germany was a modest country whose percentage of women in high-ranking jobs experienced a two-percent increase for every consecutive year from 1975 to 2000, making up 17%. However, starting at 16%, the number of French female staff showed an instable rise, comprising well-over a quarter at the end of the period while Germany, in 2015, saw a dramatic increase of 29% in the figures for women gaining high positions.

The table below illustrates the data regarding the proportion of two Spanish schools’ learners facing challenges in education between 2005 and 2015.
Overall, those from school A are reported to have encountered more problems than their counterparts studying in school B, in spite of a noticeable decrease.
In 2005, the main issues with school A pupils were following instructions and concentration in lessons, making up around two-fifths while the next decade saw a dramatic decline in this trend, with the figure showing the same proportion at 18%. The percentages of the remaining categories also went through a significant fall, except for reading ability with a percent rise from 22% to 23%.
As for school B, it is clear that its quality of teaching was superior to that of school A. Unlike children taught in school A, there was a slight rise in the share of educational problems with school B’s students while handwriting and concentration in lessons remained unchanged at 7% and 15% respectively. Twice as many pupils confronted problems with spelling and following instructions in 2015 compared to 2005. The figures for the others experienced only a mere of one-percent rise.

The given pie charts make a comparison among the ways harmful substances are eliminated in three different countries, namely: Republic of Korea, Sweden and United Kingdom.

Overall, Sweden and the UK rely on burying their waste underground while more trash is recycled in South Korea.

To commence with, well over two-thirds of garbage is dealt with through recycling in Republic of Korea, which is the most popular way of waste treatment, compared to Sweden with 25%. However, the method of putting waste products underground is by far most applied in Sweden and the UK, at 55% and 82% respectively, which makes up less than a quarter in South Korea.

As for incineration, 9% waste materials in South Korea and a fifth in Sweden are disposed by this method whereas it constitutes only 2% in the UK. To note that, the same proportion of harmful waste at 8% is treated chemically and dumped at sea by the British while these ways are not employed in South Korea and Sweden.

The figures for the remaining occupations stand at between 45 and 25, with the least quantity belonging to lecturers.

As for the pie chart, a quarter of those facing stress turn out to be lecturers, which is the highest proportion in a diagram. The second majority of stress sufferers are movie producers and doctors, at 18% and 15% respectively. Nearly similar percentages of businessmen and chefs are afflicted by emotional disorder, at 11% and 10%, which is two-fold than that of programmers.

The bar chart compares the proportion of water used for three main purposes by six different countries in Gulf in the specific year, 2000.
Overall, most water went into agricultural and domestic uses in every country while the least amount of water use was registered in industrial sector.
To commence with, the highest percentage of water usage at well over 80% was noted in agriculture sector in Saudi Arabia and Oman while the figures for Qatar and UEA were similar at more than three-fifths. In contrast, Bahrain and Kuwait experienced unprecedented trends, with domestic sector using the majority of water at just over 50% and 60% respectively.
As for water usage in industry, it was reported to constitute the lowest share in all Golf countries whereas the percentage of Kuwait was far higher than that of others, which was nearly the same as agriculture. But, the figures for the rest stood at less than 7%.


The given process provides an outline of the stages involved in the generation of electricity.
It is immediately apparent that there are at least 10 steps required to harness water, starting with water being heated by sun and ending with power being provided to buildings, for instance hospitals and schools.
To commence with, sun rays cause water in the sea to evaporate, which leads to the creation of clouds. Then, these clouds fall into reservoirs as rain. In order to store water in reservoirs, dams are employed. Afterwards, a valve can be opened or closed so that water flows into a turbine, by which, power is generated and sent to high voltage cables. Following this, water which has been used goes back to a reservoir using a pump. Thus, after receiving electricity, with the help of underground cables, transformer station distributes it for different uses, including houses, factories and hospitals & schools.

The provided map illustrates the changes which were made in the infrastructure of a shopping center called “Happy Valley” over three decades from 1982 to 2012.
Overall, there have been a few developments, with the most noticeable one being the conversion of a lake into furniture retail.
In 1982, located in the north-west, the lake was demolished to make the way for the erection of a market selling furniture. Additionally, the entrance beside the lake was removed together with some trees in the south-west so that a parking lot could be constructed.
As for the internal changes of the shopping mall, entertainment area in the middle and toilets in the corner remained unchanged in 2012 while food, sports and electronic stores went through transformations, with the first being opened in the corner and the rest being launched in the north of the mall, which made possible for themed restaurants to be built in the place of sports and electronic stores. Last but not least, a lobby area which once welcomed customers has been changed into an entrance.

Overall, there were upward trends in the number of visitors over the time frame.
In 2010, island accommodation was chosen by more than 700 thousand travelers, in comparison with the proportion of less than 300 thousand people staying on a cruise ship. For the next six years, despite a slight decrease in 2012, the figure for those on cruise ship outnumbered that of people living on island in 2016, with the share constituting 1,5 and around 1,2 million respectively. Similarly, Cruise ships remained dominant, finishing the period at 2 million, compared with half and a million island visitors.
As for the overall number of Caribbean visitors, starting at a million, the figure showed a significant increase until 2015 before a year-leveling out at about 2,8 million. For the final year, the number reached a peak at 3million and 500 thousand.


Some people think that exercise is a key to health while others feel that having a balanced diet is more important.
Discuss both sides and give your opinion.
Perspectives of how to maintain good health are varied among individuals. Some hold the view that what helps to lead a healthy lifestyle is going in for sports activities whereas other people assert that it is a well-maintained eating habit which is more of an essence. In the forthcoming paragraphs, both sides of argument will be outlined together with my opinion.
There are some understandable reasons why regular exercise has a key role to play in keeping a good health. Firstly, a boost in immune system can be achieved via training with sports. To illustrate, daily exercise enhances blood circulation and cause a feeling of refreshment, making human body more resistant to a variety of diseases. Take a survey conducted in the USA as an example. It was reported that less people were suffering from common illnesses, like fever, flu due to regular exercise than those who were not in the habit of exercising. Secondly, besides improved health, its significance in making people good-looking cannot be rejected. Celebrities, for example, are usually known for their slow aging skins by engaging in sports on a daily basis.
However, exercise is solely not adequate to live a healthy life. Balanced diet should not also be abandoned to obtain good health. Obesity, which is becoming more prevalent today, can be reversed by eating in a fixed way. It has been found that majority of those afflicted by overweightness are people who do not follow a balanced diet. As well, there is a close link between extended life-expectancy and well-balanced diet as it greatly reduces the chances of intestinal diseases.
To be concluded, although engagement in sports is a clear way to lead a healthy life, balanced-diet also aids to achieve well-being. In my belief, both should be taken into account by people desiring a healthy lifestyle.

In many developing countries, there are major problems with the quality of air and water from both industry and construction.
What problems has this created?
What solutions could be provided to prevent this?
Today, the world is becoming more and more industrialized to a greater extent than ever before. The damage to air and water quality is heavily caused by industrial and building sectors. In the forthcoming paragraphs, a few potential challenges will be outlined together with effective long-term solutions.
There are a number of biggest issues facing the world which will result from water contamination and air pollution. Firstly, it is factories which are notorious for emissions or harmful gases. These pose a great threat not only to humans, but also flora and fauna. For example, what are the most serious for individuals are respiratory, allergic and neurological disorders while plants and animal world are facing a substantial decrease in population. To deal with it successfully, eco-friendly production methods must be come up with or some restrictions must be put on those which are emitting most gases or fumes.
Moreover, the bad repercussions of construction on environment and people cannot be neglected. It has led to highly controversial issues, some of which are degradation in food chain and water supply. Garbage and plastic containers produced by construction sites are usually thrown into water reserves or buried in soil, which is likely to bring about water diseases and deterioration in soil fertility. These difficulties could be better resolved by recycling waste or eliminating it in a ecological way.
To be concluded, although there are some troubles stemming from industry and building, a number of relevant answers are available for government bodies and humans to address.

Some schools are very strict about their school uniforms and the appearance of their pupils while other schools have very relaxed dress code.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of children of having a school uniform?
Do the advantages outweigh its disadvantages?
There is a fixed system requiring school learners to wear special clothes and paying attention to their looks in some schools whereas others offer a flexible discipline of wearing. I believe that there are both advantages and disadvantages of this trend as will now be outlined in the forthcoming paragraphs
There are a great number of benefits brought by implementing the same dress code for everyone. Firstly, a sense of equality is encouraged when every pupil puts on a uniform and feels having the same status as others in a society, which enables those from low socio-economic families not to be discouraged and humiliated. As a result, they will have a chance to reveal their full potentials. Secondly, outside school time, it is a uniform which makes it easier to find out what they do. For example, in emergency cases, if a child gets lost, uniforms play a key role for the police to distinguish him or her from others.
However, uniforms are not devoid of some drawbacks which will be mentioned below. First of all, a restriction of freedom is a direct result of enforcing a dress code. In addition, forcing a child to wear one of a kind of clothes leads to a feeling of confinement. As for the outcomes for schools, a lack of attention to teaching system is caused by schools sticking to only uniforms. Consequently, children may develop ideas that wearing a uniform is far more important than doing well at school.
To be concluded, urging everyone to put on uniforms bring both benefits and downsides. I firmly believe that not only uniforms but also teaching system should be given an equal attention by school officials.
