Task 4

Task 4
These days every family has mass media like T.V., radio and newspaper. Of course that affects their behaviors. However, also people affect each other. In this essay I am going to write about my agreement on which has more influence media or people.

Actually, media could affect our behavior via movies and programs on T.V. It may affect us and teach us good behaviors and bad behaviors. For example, some programs show films about cultures, so we can have more knowledge about the world, and histories, we can have a background about the past. The benefit of that is to increase our life experience. On the other hand, media may affect us badly. As I said, the media teaches us about other culture, but some cultures don't agree with our religion, and our religion teaches us some things and that culture teaches us unlike the religion. So the most important influence is on the collision between media and religion.

Although I don't agree with some points also I agree with other points. In fact there are many good influences in our life via media. There are nice programs on T.V. that teach us and give us new information like international geography programs. So we have to know what are the benefits of media and what are the bad, to save our ideas and make them better.

In conclusion, I think media is not the best way to learn from, however it has good things. People around us are the way to learn, especially from parents and family.

Task 3

Task 3

The graph shows the number of fishermen in millions for Asia, Africa, South America, North America and Europe between 1970, 1980 and 2000. The table shows the world's top ten exporters of fish in 2000.
Firstly, in 1970 the number of fishermen in Asia was 11 millions, and then it increased slightly to 14 millions in 1980, whereas the number of fishermen in Africa was 12 millions in 1970, then it dropped dramatically to 9 millions in 1980. In addition, South America had the same number through 40 years from 1970 to 2000, while North America was only 5 millions of fishermen in 1970. Then it rose hugely to 15 millions, and it leveled off from 1980 to 2000. Actually, the top exporter of fish in 2000 was Thailand in Asia. In the second place became Norway in Europe. On the other hand, Indonesia and South Korea had the lowest place of the ten exporters.
In conclusion, the highest number of fishermen was 26 millions in Asia in 2000, and the lowest region was 3 million at the same year in Africa.
