Conversely, many pedagogical experts dissent from this view, highlighting that
entertaining ways of teaching are not always practical or attainable. التزم بالسؤالMust be
sole purpose to educate !! For one reason, teachers are trained to
educate rather than to entertain because they believe that
success in exams should be the key focus during school
time.This means that they may probably lack the experience to
merge amusement with education without jeopardising the latter.
Moreover, entertainment often inspires playfulness, which could
easily slide into anarchy and mischief. Needless to say that
disorder is the foe of scholastic achievement. In a recent
university study, pupils were distracted and more difficult to
control when recreation-based methods such as plays and songs
were used in classroom, compared to more structured ways of
learning. Accordingly, there may be some merits in maintaining
order in school even at the expense of entertainment.
Although (no yes part) however, there is a case for fast foods,
presenting a practical, inexpensive, and readily available
solution for people with busy lifestyles, ……... This is largely
because they typically require no time for processing and
preparation, not to mention the remarkable variety of food types,
flavours and additives and the obvious accessibility of these
catering outlets. For example, an extensive study by the UK
government showed that over 28% of Britons use fast food
outlets at least once a week and this percentage soared to 39% in
school children. However, these social changes in dietary habits
has also impacted negatively the family bonds and the local
cuisine in many parts of the world. In other words, the
traditional regular family dinner has been replaced by eating on
the run at various locations throughout the day. Additionally, on the
community level, many of the indigenous food restaurants were forced to close down owing to the fierce
competition from the fast food mega companies.

In many workplaces, online communication is now more
common than face-to-face meetings. Do the advantages
outweigh the disadvantages?
From the arguments and example given, I strongly agree that the potential
drawbacks of cyber communications pale in comparison to its huge
advantages. It is therefore expected that they will be increasingly smoothly
incorporated in workplaces around the world.
It can be easily noticed that physical education and history were the most popular curricular lessons as they had the biggest share of
students (22.9% and 22.4% respectively), amounting to almost of half of all popularity indications. Meanwhile, mathematics were was
preferred by less than one fifth of German learners, whereas just above 18% of pupils were attracted to physics. While physics also
registered a similar proportion, though slightly less. These four key subjects added up /totaled almost /over 80% of all votes from
students in the given year.
Don’t mix % with fraction in one sentence
By contrast, considerably less students favoured Biology and Geography (7.1% and 6.4% respectively), since they were less than one
third of those who chose sports. The least preferred subject, however, was information technology which was selected by merely 3.7%
of German undergraduate learners in 1997, which was around 7 times less than the votes/ popularity indications/ preferences for
History. Refer back
Overall, physical education and history had the greatest popularity in German schools at that time, whereas only small fractions of

Experts throughout the developing and developed world have debated whether internet-based
telecommunication such as email, WhatsApp, and video conference HAVE added to the efficiency or
decreased the productiveness of the workplace. I firmly believe that the benefits, including working
across time zones of these methods outweigh their drawbacks----- possible connection
problems empty phrase. This essay will discuss both side of the debate using example from the
British government and business companies to demonstrate points and prove arguments.
On the one hand, there is ample evidence that online communications boost productivity in the
office. The central reason behind this is twofold,no need firstly it tends to augment the amount of
work achieved by the غلطworkers since less time and energy are required to convey data such as
discussions, documents and even images between the غلطcolleagues. Meanwhile,/ or moreover
superfluous interactions between office-mates are significantly curbed. Not only do these modern
ways of communication increase workplace output but they also ال حاجة لتكرار الضمير ممكن بدلهم تحط
ديoften diminish the costs by minimising workspace and logistics. In other words, the مفيش الmoney
for transportation, furniture, and paper works could be drastically curtailed. For example, recent
empirical research by the UK government recent online reports showed that, if in ten leading
commercial company ies, were traditional in-person meetings replaced by video conference, it would
result in 20% reduction in logistic costs in a six month period. Therefore, it is conclusively clear that
online communication usually leads to less expenditure and higher revenue.
On the other hand الزمHowever, there is also a strong case for the conventional, long-established,
person-to-person meetings that cannot be overstated. For one reason, they strengthen the social
relations and skills, encourage team working, and promote identification identity with the
corporation. This could be reflected in more enthusiasm, dedication, and eventually a higher rate of
work. Besides, it should not be forgotten that not all employees are cyber-proficient. So, while
millennials may be quite skilful with applications such as WhatsApp, Zoom, and LinkedIn, their
senior colleague could be not. Obviously these recent technology ies could possibly ultimately have
detrimental effects in terms of security and miscommunication if used erroneously. Therefore, it is
possible to state beyond doubt that online communications are not entirety devoid of complications.

communications pale in comparison to its huge advantages. It is therefore expected that they will be

Business experts throughout the world have debated whether encouraging enterprises to
relocate to rural and distant landscapes outside the metropolitan areas is a positive or negative
development. Although shifting outside the city may reduce costs and pollution, a host of logistic
problems may negate these benefits.
Displacing large firms from big conurbations could be beneficial for the municipal authorities as
well as for the companies. For the cities, it could ameliorate the problems of urban sprawling,
overcrowding, and pollution. This is due to the reduction of number of workers, employees, and
customers flowing into the city every day, which would be reflected, at least theoretically, in a
cleaner environment on the long run. From the business prospective, however, there may be a
startling reduction in the overheads since lands are significantly cheaper in the hinterlands. Not
only could factories profit from moving close to the production sites of raw materials, but they
might also curb their expenses thanks to the abundance of cheap workers in the underdeveloped
locations. The craftsmen city outside Cairo is a prime example, where dozens of medium and
small industrial plants were transferred outside the megacity in 1990s, giving way to new parks
and garden that ultimately improved the air quality and noise in that area.
Although the idea seems ingenious on the face of it, yet there are many
limitations to be considered. Moving to remote location, often devoid
of infrastructure, is perhaps a risky situation, where firms have to contend with poor logistics
such as lack of amenities, poor road networks, and underdeveloped telecommunication systems,
all of which leading to more expenditure and plummeting profits. Furthermore, industrial plants
may cause disruption to the local communities particularly if cultural, environmental, and
sometimes
health factors are not taken in account. This was best exemplified by
the so-called Ford-land, which was a huge industrial city established by
Ford Automobiles in Brazil rainforest in the 1930s to take advantage of
the natural rubber resources. Unfortunately, the combined effects of
poor logistics, different cultures and tropical diseases resulted in the
demise of the project shortly after its inception.

The figure depicts how tea leaves are transformed into different types of tea. Overall, it
is a semi-synthetic linear process that involves three to eight steps, with white tea is the
simplest, whereas the most elaborate is scented tea.
Once tea leaves are harvested, they are sorted and cleansed before shifting to a
steamer to produce white tea after dehydration. Alternatively, they are withered in case
of black, oolong, and frequently green tea. The latter is further processed by means of
heating, before it is either rolled and shaped, or dried with Jasmine flavour to produce
pure green and jasmine green teas respectively.
By contrast, oolong and black tea demand fermentation prior to desiccation. Leaf edges
bruised, oolong tea is then partially fermented before pan-frying, followed by drying. Full
fermentation is necessary for black tea production, and is usually carried out after
having the leaves rolled into stripes in case of Gongfu tea or simply cut to give broken
black tea, both of which are ultimately heated to remove moisture. Finally, scented tea
is manufactured from dried green, black or oolong teas when they are flavoured with
fruits and flowers and eventually cooled down.
The pie chart demonstrates data about the relative percentages of different agricultural produce
harvested in France in 2017.
It can be easily noted that Cotton had the biggest share among the provided crops as it accounted
for slightly more than one third. The percentages for sugar and wheat were nearly similar as they
represented 21.9% and 20.4% of the country's crop production respectively. In contrast
comparison, the proportion for barley was approximately 2% smaller than that of wheat. These
four crops accounted for x% of the total production in the given year.
On the other hand, In contrast, the least shares amounts, quantity, proportion were
seen/registered/ recorded for rice and cotton. While the former represented nearly one tenth of
the percentage of cotton, the former even recorded less than half of this proportion at 3 which
was x% less that the highest amount of sugar…….
Overall, there were wide variations in the proportions of the French agricultural products in 2017
with cotton was by far the dominant crop, whereas with sugar, wheat and barley came next to it
in a slightly lower quantity.The least shares amounts quantities, proportions were seen in that
year for the grains rice and corn.

The bar chart compares data about the sales of three vehicles companies (Ford, BMW, and Audi)
across Europe in 2018.
Overall, there were wide variations in sales among the given countries, with Hungary in the lead
and Belgium having the smallest numbers. Moreover,BMW was the preferred automobiles in
Italy, whereas the Belgian market was highly dominated by Ford .
The highest sales were recorded in Hungary (approximately 400,000 cars), followed by France,
which reported nearly 100,000 cars less than Hungary. In both countries, the sales were almost
evenly distributed between the three brands. By comparison, Holland, Ireland, and Germany sold
around 250,000 each with no distinctive pattern of preference could be seen.
In contrast, the Uk and Poland, each registered half the numbers of cars purchased in Hungary.
But while the former’s residents purchased had a minimal proportion of Audi cars compare to
the other companies, the three brands were more or less equal in the latter. Finally, the least
numbers were seen in Italy and Belgium (around 25% of that of Hungary), but while the Italian
buyers preferred BMW, Ford was almost the exclusive brand in Belgium.

These days, problems with pollution are becoming worse, particularly in large cities. What are the
reasons for this and how can this be solved?
Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or
experience.
Traffic-related pollution, in most cities, appears to be foremost among other factors. This
is because it runs the gamut of contributes to all forms of pollution, namely air, noise,
and possibly light pollution. The ever-increasing numbers of private vehicles in our
metropolitan areas, caused by the hectic pace of our modern life, has resulted in traffic
stagnation and massive emissions of hazardous fumes. The latter are thought to be
the main culprit for air quality degradation, acid rains and more viciously global
warming. For example, a recent report by the WHO showed that the levels of greenhouse
gases have doubled in the last three decades due to cars and lorries. Besides, the noise
and excessive lights produced by heavy traffics have negatively affected the quality of
life in large cities around the world.
Domestic refuse is another source for urban pollution, where tons of rubbish, ranging
from foodstuffs to metal, and plastic are disposed of everyday. Dumped in landfills or
incinerated, they have detrimental effects on the environment, causing air pollution,
ground, and more seriously groundwater
contamination, which has been shown by an empirical study carried out by Cairo
University in 2010, inspecting the quality of groundwater in five major cities in lower
Egypt. No need
In conclusion, traffic congestion and domestic waste appear to be the main culprits for
urban pollution; public education as well as governmental and private sector green
measures are therefore necessary to address this situation.

he graph below presents the movie preferences of young adults (worldwide).
Summarise the information by selecting and report in the main features, and make comparisons
where relevant.
The bar chart depicts data about the different types of movies
preferred by young adults across the world, with reference to gender
preponderance.
Comedy is by far the most favorite genre chosen by just over 280 young
adults with little gender difference. Action movies are the second
popular ones, with almost one quarter less, followed by Romance
which have almost half as many watchers as Comedy. But while the
former attract 30% more males, the latter’s preference is are markedly dominated by
young ladies.
By contrast, Drama, Horror and Animation are rather comparable in the
number of fans, with no significant disparity between both sexes.
Drama films has been selected by just below 150, with 25 more girls
than boys, whereas Horror and Animated movies have 137 and 117
votes respectively, with fairly balanced gender patterns.
Overall, Comedy is the most attractive genre for young men and
women alike. There is apparent male predilection for Action
films, while Romantic pictures are more highly rated preponderated by girls.
These days more and more people are travelling domestically or internationally. There are clearly
many benefits to it but there are some who argue that it has also some drawbacks. Discuss the
advantages and disadvantages of travelling?
Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or
experience.
But However, while some people may consider that travelling is always a
pleasurable activity, nothing could be further from the truth this unfortunately \not
always the case. Costs aside, voyagers often have to contend with problems of
airways airline disruption, resulting for example, from severe weather, technical
glitches or more viciously, terror attacks, all resulting in lengthy delays,
flight cancellation, and even aviation catastrophes if not properly
sorted. Even more aggravated by the recent quarantine measures for
the COVID-19 pandemic, many international trips have become
prohibitively protracted for most people. This was best highlighted by the 2020 bulletin
of the Federal Aviation Administration of the US that reported that airport processing of
international flights in America has increased by 25 minutes on average, compared to
1990.
To conclude, although the merits of traveling may be substantial
particularly on the educational, technical, and vocational levels, international trips still
appears to be fraught with problems and dangers. Hence, it is advisable to weigh the
risk-benefit ratio before one embarks on departure.
