Balanced Diet

                                 Portfolio Task 3
          Many people believe that a balanced diet is very good health and too much fast food can lead to a life threatening problems. However, having a balanced diet is not affecting too much.
          First of all, let’s see why a balanced diet is so important. Too much fast food and other full fat food or food high in sugar hand, avoiding entirely food that contains high fat, such as buffalo meat, will deprive us of important ingredients such as protein, which are essential for healthy life.
          Furthermore, many people say that a balanced diet in our daily life is preventing our body having vitamins and other needed nutrition. Moreover, people and experts say that exercise for example, contributes to physical and mental well-being. For example if people start to make a good food program and take exercise for at least 30 minutes a day it will be very good for a health and body.
          In conclusion, experts say it’s a good idea to follow a diet and take some exercise everyday, it is very healthy and makes your body  healthier and you should live longer.

Mobile Phones

                                               Mobile phones
There is a lot of research about using mobile phones while driving cars. Also a lot of agreement and disagreement about this case. But anyways a lot of accidents nowadays are from the wrong way of using mobile phones while driving.
          Of course there are two ways for any argument. However, hands-free devices don’t eliminate the risk of causing an accident and even it may worsen it by suggesting that the behavior is safe. Research shows that using a headset can be as dangerous as holding a phone because the conversation distracts drivers from focusing on the road. Scientists have proven that people talking over the phone images the person who they are talking to and that doesn’t interfere with driving.
          Opponents say that cell phones are good because they give an opportunity to make a call in case of emergency. However, it is an illusion of safety because when people need it they are stuck in the car. People just don’t seem to understand how distracting their telephone conversations are.
           In conclusion, if people don’t give up cell-phones the number of fatalities on the roads will still increase. It is people’s responsibility to not endanger their own and other people’s lives. In my opinion, people should put a sound message for who’s calling them that they are driving so they will know that they can’t talk.

Line graph

Line graph

Population growth 1750 to 2150


World population growth

The line graph shows population growth in richer and poorer countries between 1750 and 2150. It is based on the United Nations World Population Prospects, the 1998 Revision, and estimates by the Population Reference Bureau.

In 1750 the total world population was less than one billion and the population of less developed countries was three or four times greater than that of more developed countries. By 2000 the total figure was 6.1 billion, but only about 1 billion were in the more developed countries. The estimate is that by 2150 the total world population will be well over 10 billion but the total for the more developed countries will remain at about one billion and may even fall slightly.

It is estimated that the total world population will increase dramatically over the next 150 years but that this growth will be entirely in the less developed countries .

  Portfolio Task 2

The chart below shows the reasons for study according to their ages and the second graph shows the employer support also by age group.

          First of all, students under the age of 26 study for their career 7 times more than they study for their interest. The second group is between 26 and 29 which shows 70% students study for their career while 15% students study for their interest. On the other hand, the students who study for their interest is directly proportional with the age group, so the number of students increase as the age increases. Employer support is more commonly given to younger students.

          To sum up I would say that the number of students who study for career decreases with age. Therefore when people get older they study for their interest.
