The line graph describes how many enquiries were made to the Tourist Information Office in 2011 from January to June.
Overall, it is clear that the number of enquiries made in person and by telephone went up significantly at the second half of the span whereas written ones experienced a downward trend. Interestingly, almost twice as many queries were received at the end of the period as they were at the start.
As for the details, in the first three months, all three trends witnessed moderate changes. The telephone enquiry figure grew to 1000 in March after going down by 100 initially. Similarly, the figure for in-person requests, which was little over 400 in January, saw a substantial rise of about 600 enquiries. In contrast, the number of text enquiries started off at just below 800 and then began to gradually decline to around 600 enquiries by the end of March.
Focusing on the second half of the period, letters and emails received by the office kept falling, reaching an all-time low of just below 400 in May, after which it remained stable for the rest of the period. The other forms of requests followed similar trends. The number of telephone enquiry maintained the same level, at 1000 in the first part of April, and then it climbed to 1600 in the following months. Finally, in person requests almost doubled by June, peaking at 1900 enquiries.

Overall, in both years the percentage of people using only one social networking site was highest. The proportions of 2 or no site users closely followed. In stark contrast, the increase in the number of social networking sites was inversely proportional to the share of people using them.

The line graph describes the changes that have taken place in the demographic composition of China from 1960 until now and the changes that are expected to happen before 2050.
Overall, while it is clear that the size of the age group 15-64 has enlarged noticeably and that of 0-14 shrunk in the last 60 years. In the next 30 years, the figure for 65+ old is estimated to grow to be larger than the youngest age group whereas the opposite is predicted for the middle age bracket.
Focusing on the past and present trends, the major shift has been observed in the percentage of 15-64-year olds, which has soared to 70% in 2020 from its initial point of just over 35%. In stark contrast, the proportion of the 0-14 age group experienced a remarkable decline of about 20% in the last 40 years. With the oldest age group, on the other hand, the statistics have improved gradually to 15%.
As for the future, one main noticeable change is projected to be a further growth in the oldest segment of the population from its current point to around 25%, making it larger than the proportion of the 0-14 age bracket. Finally, it is also forecasted that the middle age group will witness a steep fall, making up little over 50% of the Chinese population in 2050.

As countries develop, more and more people buy and use their own cars.
Do (you think) the advantages for individuals outweigh the disadvantages for the environment?
With rapid economic growth in many countries, cars have become more affordable, allowing more people to buy them. I believe that despite the negative effects cars have on the environment, the advantages of cars to the individual are well justified.
On the one hand, some well-known effects of cars on the environment should be acknowledged. Cars are known to spew gases and particles that have long been found to be detrimental to our ecosystem. Condoning the growing purchase of personal vehicles knowing the harm they do to our planet can be viewed as suicide by some people. Another way automobiles might affect nature is closely related to their energy consumption. Despite the growing popularity of electric cars, combustion engine cars remain to account for most cars being bought and produced. This means more natural reserves of fossil fuel might have to be used to meet the new demand from new car owners.
Having said that, I still think that benefits to individuals are more significant. To begin with, cars allow people greater mobility; one can run errands and attend to their personal affairs at their convenience. As a person who does not own a personal vehicle, I am rather limited in my ability to move around or do tasks that might require travelling. Having a personal car also comes with a lot of comforts: air conditioning, access to entertainment and most importantly privacy. When presented with a chance to have these comforts, most people would not hesitate at the thought of buying a car. Lastly, greater demand for cars has led to improvements in car design which has ultimately benefitted car owners.
In conclusion, while it is true that cars are bad for the environment, I am of the opinion that the above-mentioned benefits they bring to people appear to be larger.

The first diagram illustrates how cement is manufactured while the second one shows the production of concrete using this cement.
Overall, there are about six distinct stages involved in the production of cement, starting with crushing ingredients and culminating with putting cement into bags, whereas the manufacturing process of concrete has one stage only. In both processes, a number of raw materials and the use of specialized equipment are required.
Focusing firstly on cement production, limestone and clay are crushed and turned into powder at the first step in the procedure. This substance is then mixed in a mixer before being sent to the rotating heater where heat is applied. Following this, the mixture is ground, and the final product- cement- is produced. Lastly, this ready-to-use building material is placed in bags to ease its utilization.
As for the process of making concrete, we can see that there is one major stage, which is mixing four different materials: cement, sand, water and gravel. Half of concrete is composed of gravel, while sand makes up a quarter of it, and the shares of cement and water are 15 and 10% respectively. By rotating these ingredients in a counter-clockwise direction with the help of a mixer, concrete is produced.
