WRITING TASK 1:

Overall, the amount of beef and lamb consumed observed a downward

trend through the period, this tendency was also seen in fish but with a slighter
fluctuation. Another striking point is that fish was the least preferred type of
protein throughout the period. Since 1989, chicken surpassed beef and took the
lead to become the most consumed type of protein on a weekly basis.
In 1979, beef was the most preferred type of food at about 220 grams per
person per week, while the figure of chicken ranked third at below 150 grams. The
amount of chicken consumption then experienced a fluctuating upward trend,
while the absolutely reverse one was recorded for beef. In the next 10 years,
chicken consumption continued rising and reached roughly more than 200 grams
as opposed to the rapid plummeting of beef marked by the first figure at below 200
grams. From 1989 onwards, chicken still increased and finally hit at around 250
grams in 2004. Meanwhile, the figure for beef kept decreasing and then stood at
about 120 grams at the end.
WRITING TASK 2:
No matter when and where we are, communication is always perceived by
many as an indispensable social skill in both work life and daily life. Regarding
this skill, some people say that oral communication is much more superior to
written one. In this comparison, however, my perspective changes as the situation
varies.
On the one hand, in some particular occasions requiring body language and
facial expressions to make a conversation complete, oral form should be rated as
more important. This can stem from a common knowledge that face-to-face
interaction ,more often than not, means politeness and formality. Another point is
that seeing a person in flesh can create a more obvious atmosphere, which can be a
helpful boon to set a relationship between two parties. For example, while online
dating gives the users an incomplete love experience because they just can view
others via a screen and some texts and it can hardly last for a long time, a date in a
romantic place with candles and roses would be a more preferred option for
someone who, at least, wants to have a realistic love experience.
