Fishermen and Exporters

Fishermen and Exporters

   There are a graph and a table; the graph illustrates the number of fishermen in millions for different regions in 1970, 1980 and 2000 and the table shows the world’s top ten exporters of fish in 2000.

   First, the graph shows us in 1970 Africa and Europe had the highest number of fishermen with almost 13 million; in 1980 North America was the leader with 15 million and in 2000 Asia was the highest one with 22 million. Second, the table shows in 2000 the country which had the highest exports of fish was Thailand in Asia; in the middle was Denmark in Europe and the lowest country was South Korea in Asia.

   Finally, we saw in the graph and table in the beginning of 2000 the number of fishermen has increased in Asia; as we can see Thailand is the leading exporter.

(Technology)

   The table and the two bar charts show technology worldwide in 1999/2000. The numbers are in millions.

   The table shows in 1999 the number of PCs was high in the USA with 141 million and the highest on mobile phones was in EU-15 with 147 million. In 2000 the number of internet hosts and internet users was highest in the USA; for internet hosts, 65.9 million, and for internet users 154 million. The first bar chart shows the proportion of people using a personal computer so the Scandinavian countries are the highest and we have the EU-15 in the middle; the lowest country was Greece with 15 percent. The second bar chart shows the proportion of people using the internet in 1999; also the Scandinavian countries are the highest, and the percent goes down considerably to Greece.

   Finally, in the table the USA was the leader of internet users and hosts with the number of PCs. The mobile phones leader was EU-15. In the two bar charts the highest are Scandinavian countries and the lowest is Greece

Challenges and strategies

Challenges and strategies

   Nowadays, there are many people who travel to new countries or cities for many things like searching for jobs or as tourists to change the routine. Now I will write down the challenges and strategies.

   When people move to new cities or new countries they will see a different culture; also the language will change and they adapt their own behavior. The second challenge is some people can’t be away from their families, so this is one of the important challenges. We have also changes in food; for example if you travel to China you will not see Arabic food like biryani. The schools maybe different; also the way to educate the students and the time of summer holiday. The last thing is the law; it’s different from country to country.

   There are many strategies we can use to deal with the challenges. First, before we travel to a new country and we don’t know anything about it, research is a good idea to know about countries. We can use internet or newspapers and somebody who has knowledge about countries, so you can know the language, type of food, their culture and what behavior they follow. Second, when you are in the new country and you want to communicate with your family there are many things to use; first, mobile phones, MSN messenger, face book and Skype; with those programs you can make video calls so you will see your family.

   Finally, we’ve talked about the challenges followed by the strategies which we will use before we travel to new cities or new countries; also I will remind you of one thing; some libraries have books which contain information about countries.
