The pie charts demonstrate how water usage in Sydney was divided up by four different industries and civilian use, in 1997 and 2007.
Some people think humans can exploit animals for any purpose that they need while others disagree. Discuss both views and give your own opinion?
When it comes to the relationship between animals and human beings, quite a few people declare that human beings are entitled to exploit animals for whatever purpose they want, while others consider it otherwise. Personally, I side with the latter.
Advocates for freely exploring animals claim that, just like wolves to sheep, humans are on the superior to all animals. In their opinion, they should be allowed to take any advantage from any animal, including feeding on dogs’ meat, manufacturing clothes out of foxes’ fur and conducting medical experiments on alive mice. However, there is no such thing as superiority in nature. Each animal species, be it little frog in a farming field or massive tiger in a remote mountain, plays an irreplaceable part in its food chain and helps to maintain the balance of the nature.Without animals, the ecological system would be destroyed and human beings would not be able to survive in the future.
Exploiting animals at will should not be permitted, and the two main reasons are as follows. First of all, some exploiting behaviors from human beings completely ignores the pain or even the death of animals. In the case of extracting gall from alive bears, the bears feel extremely intensive pain, lying hopelessly in the cage, with blood flowing out from the bitter wounds on the chest and tears welling out off its innocent eyes. No civilized person would approve such brutal cases. Second of all, most of human’s activities of exploiting animals are not necessary. For example, the clothes of artificial furs, mostly made from fiber, provide equal warming and dressing effect with those of furs which human beings tripped mercilessly off alive foxes and rabbits. Besides, there have already been plenty of vegetarians worldwide, relying on bean products to satisfy their protein needs and living healthily, which means human beings can do without the meat from animals.
In conclusion, human beings should not exploit animals at will as some of human activities involving animals are too brutal to be approved and there are plenty of substitutes for the so-called necessary activities.
This line graph gives the number of foreign visitors who came to a European country from 1987 to 2007. Visitor numbers to three different places (the coast, the mountains and the lakes) were recorded for each year.
First, we can see that there was a general increase in the total number of visitors to this European country, from about 70 million in 1987 to about 155 million in 2007. But looking more closely at the number for each area, we can see some different patterns of change.

Task One
The table outlines the number of cars made in three countries (Argentina, Australia, and Thailand) from 2003 to
2009.
It is evident from the table that Thailand produced by far the largest number of cars over the six-year period, with
a total of almost 3 million. Meanwhile, Australia produced the smallest number of vehicles, having a total of just
under 1 million. Argentina came in a close second with a total of approximately 1.1 million cars produced.
Argentina had the lowest production total in 2003, but almost tripled its amount by 2006, and continued to grow
to over 512 thousand by 2009. Thailand began with the highest production total in 2003 of around 742 thousand,
and similarly saw a sharp increase by 2006. However, Thailand’s production numbers slipped to under 1 million
by 2009, nevertheless maintaining its position as the producer of the most cars out of the three countries.
Australia is the only country that experienced a steady decrease in production over this period. Starting at 413
thousand, Australia’s numbers decreased by approximately 100 thousand every 3 years, finishing with a total of
around 227 thousand in 2009
