Writing Feedback / Task 1 : The levels of participation in education and science. [3]

The charts below show the levels of participation in education and science in the developing and industrialised countries in 1980 and 1990.
Write a report for a university lecturer describing the information shown below.
you should write at least 150 words.

The charts display the difference in the levels of participation in education and science between the developing and industrialised countries in the years 1980 and 1990.
It is clear that in all 3 charts the industrialised countries have improved in the participation much more than the developing countries.
As shown in the first chart that displays the average years of schooling , in the year 1980 , a regular citizen of an industrialised country would spend about 8 years in school averagely , but fo the developing countries , the average years of schooling is about 2 years. In 1990 , the average years of schooling went throught a slight increase , for the average years of schooling in the industrialised countries has become 11 years instead of 8 , and in the developing countries , it has become 3 instead of 2.

The second chart displays the number of scientists and technicians in every 1000 person in each country. In 1980 , the industrialised countries had about 40 to 45 scientists ans technicians per 1000 people. On the other hand , the developing countries had only 10 per 1000 people. In 1990 , the situation hasn't change a lot for the developing countries , for the number of scientists and technicians per 1000 person was only 5 more than a dacade before , unlike the industrialised countries , therefor the number of scientists and technicians reached an unbelievable number , for they reached about 70 per 1000 people.

The last chart displays the amount of money that has been spent by each country on researches and developments. The industrialised countries spent about 150 billion US $ in 1980 , and 350 billion US $ in 1990. Meanwhile , the developing countries did not spend much on them , for they spent about 50 billion US $ in the year 1980 , and instead of spending more money , they suprisingly lowered the amout they spent a dacade ago and spent half the amount in 1990.

The leves of participation in education and science shown in the charts were actually expected ; since the developing countries , as called "developing" , are still in the process of building up the country and trying to develop it with the little amount of supplies they have in their hands , unlike the industrialised countries who are already developed and they are just continuing to improve their development.

Writing Feedback / Technology developments kill the traditional skills and ways o living. [4]

It is thought that technology developments in a country is the main reason for the traditional skills and ways of life to die out , and it has become pointless to try and keep them alive. I so very agree with the statment . This can actually be seen in any country nowadays.

In my opinion, we can approve the statment by taking a look at a former situation of any country and the apparent change that has occurred to the country nowadays. For example , the country I live in "K.S.A'' as you can see , before 20 years when the technology was very primitive and not yet developed , people were vey cling to there traditions . It was really uncommon to see people who do not care or even care less about their traditional skills.

Nowadays, the situation is clearly the exact opposite. It has become very common to see people care less about their traditions , and actually it has become very unusuall to see people gathering around to revive their traditions or to pass any of them to their young ones. That is why most of the new generation do not know anything about their grandparents traditions.

I think it is really depressing that by each day passes by it becomes even more difficult to try to keep or revive our traditions that it is believed that it is pointless to even try to hold on to any of our traditions.

In conclusion , we should not allow this to continue and we should try to save whatever traditions we are still holding on to , but we should not stop the development of technology to do this , we can keep on developing technology and still keep our traditional skills and our wys of livng alive.

Writing Feedback / IELTS:Are International Sporting Occasions a Safe Way for Releasing Emotions?? [2]

Most people believe that international sporting occasions , e.g. the football World Cup , are esstential because in their belief, it helps in easing the interntional tensions and it helps release the patriotic emotions in a non-dangerous way. However, I strongly disagree with the statment because I believe that people become more aggressive and hateful towards other citizens of diffierent countries. So, I think it is not a good way to for expressing emotions for several reasons.

First of all, people can get really emotional and attached to their teams that they would put a lot of effort in prmoting their team that if the team lost they would not realize that it is just a game which can lead to a serious case of depression.

Secondly, international sporting occasions such as, The Football World Cup can cause problems in the international affairs. For example, what is happening nowadays between Egypt and Algeria. The Egyptians and Algerians are physically abusing one another.

However, some people do not realize such things and belief that there are no harm feeling after the game and that what happened in the stadium is left in the stadium which clearly is not true at all.

Finally, I believe that the international sporting occasions are not at all a safe way to release patriotic emotions as long as the mentality of the people remains as it is.

Writing Feedback / Germany, Italy, France, Britain - The Amount Spent on Consumer Goods [5]

The graph displays the amount of money that has been spent on six consumer goods in four diffierent European countries.
Starting in Germany , well it appears that the citizens of Germany prefered spending their money on personal stereos , perfumes and toys rather than spending them on tennis racquets and CDs and photographic films.

Moving on to Italy where the most profitable item was the toys , they made about 159 thousand pounds sterling . CDs and photographic films took second place in the most profitable items , as for the personal stereos , perfumes and the tennis racquets they were not that popular in Italy for they made the least profit out of them.

In France, photographic films were remarkably popular , for they made 165 thousand pounds sterling . Cds and toys were at the same point , both made about 158 thousand pounds sterling. the personal stereos , tennis racquets and perfume did not earn an acceptable profit.

Finally, in Britain , the British were similar to the french for the photographic stereos were the most popular among all other consumer goods , they earned an unbelievable amount of money , they made about 173 thousand pounds sterling . CDs and toys took second place in Britain as well as in France . The profit made out of perfumes in Britain was way ahead of the profit made out of them in France ,for they made 160 thousand pounds sterling in Britain and about 148 thousand pounds sterling in France. The personal stereos and tennis racquets were the less popular.

In conclusion , it shows that all four countries were a bit similar in where to spend their money.
