            The pie charts show us the population percentage between Yemen and Italy in 2000 and projections in 2050.

            Looking first Yemen’s population chart in 2000, almost half of Yemen’s population was between 0 and 14 years old. The remaining with 46.3 percent was 15-59 years old people and 3.6 percent was 60 years old or more. In contrast, 15-59 years old people dominate the population of Italy in 2000 with 61.6 percent, while 24.1 percent was 60 years old or more and the remaining was 0-14 years old.   

            In 2050, Both Yemen’s and Italiy’s goverment have a plan to reduce the number of birth in their country. In Yemen, people with age between 0 and 14 years old will be reduced to 37 percent of population, whereas in Italy, the percentage will be 11.5 percent. For 15-59 years old people in Yemen will still be the majority of population with 57.3 percent and so will in Italy with 46.2 percent. In Yemen, the people with age 60 years old or more will be 5.7 percent and quiet different in Italy which will be 42.3 percent.

            In conclusion, there were a downward trend for 0-14 years old people and an upward trend for 60 years old or more people for both of country. Whereas, the trend for 15-59 years old people for both country is different, which the percentage in Yemen will increase and in Italy will decrease.   

IELTS Writing Practice 2 Task 2

Unpaid community service is suggested as a mandatory program in high school. Some people believe that if the students join this program, it develop their soft skills, such as communication, time management, and working experience. The positive and negative side will be presented in the following paragraph.   

 Firstly, student in high school usually have much free time, however, many of them utilize their free time not for good activities, such as after-school club, but for benefit less activities, like hang out with their friends, game online, and even some crime and dangerous activities. This situation is a worst situation of the school that they must consider for good compulsory program which student will spend their free time for these kinds of program. Unpaid community service is the one of excellent activities which students need because it develop their soft skills.

Secondly, many companies need workers with high standard requirements recently. To make this happen, student must aware the needed of soft skill development program. By joining community organisation or charitable forum, they can have and gain new skill and get new connection as well. They will be more creative, able to manage their time better, know how to communicate well to other people, and become open-minded people and it will never happen if the students just spend their time for meaningless activities.

However, there is also drawback, although it is not really problematic. Time is the problem for student which join unpaid community service because a few of  their time for school is taken. This problem can be solved  by good time management.

In my  opinion, I agree to implement this program to students in high school because the benefit which student can get is very precious. I hope this program will start in the high school as soon as possible.

The bar chart shows us a three kind of telephone calls and its time has been used (in minutes) from 1995-2002 in UK.

First chart bar or local fixed line calls is the highest use from 1995 until 2002. The use increased smoothly from around 70 billions minutes in 1995 until hit the highest point in 1999 which the total amount is 90 billions minutes. But the following years, the use was decline until its lowest state in 2002 with around 70 billions total number of minutes.

Turning to the data for national and international fixed line which be marked by second chart bar. The growth of this line rose from 1995 until 2002 which the trend of chart rising was almost linear.

We move onto the last chart bar which represent mobile calls. When in 1995, the use of mobile calls is the lowest from all the lines. However, the graphic increased slowly and exponentially from almost zero use in 1995 until approximately 40 billions total minutes.    

From this picture, we can conclude that the development of telephone call for each kind of communication tool that although local fixed line still the most favourite to use but the growth both of national and international fixed line and mobile lines approach the growth of local fixed line.  If this trend continue into the following years, it will possible if the growth of mobile line or national/international fixed line will be at the top and the growth of  local fixed line will be in the bottom. 

IELTS Writing Practice 1 Task 2

Foreign language education is a new problem for students in the school. Some experts give their opinion that foreign language education is better to be taught since the primary school. There are both advantages and disadvantages of teaching foreign language in primary school which I will explain in the following paragraph. 

The needed of foreign language is urgent for global era right now and it needs long time to study other language. Some educational experts think the best time of learning foreign language is  in primary school rather than secondary school because more young the children is more easy to learn and shape their tongue to speak the other language. In addition, the time in primary school is more flexible and students able to spend more time to learn foreign language.

However, primary school students have high risk in loss their nationality because language is the one of the important part of country identity. With learning other language, it can break their own language because maybe the students is more interested to learn . It can be proved by the National Exam for senior high school students in Indonesia which get more good result in English than in Bahasa. It is the most worried problem for government because many students are more interesting with foreign language than their own country language.   

In conclusion, teaching foreign language earlier has more advantages side rather than their disadvantages. Although introducing it earlier have positive side, the teachers must have appropriate teaching methods without losing student learning interest of their own country language.

The picture shows us the differences of island before and after the facilities was built for tourists.

The condition of island before construction was very empty because no one have ever touched the island. There was no any facilities to be used to stay and eat and so was access as well. Therefore the island with this condition could not be used by tourist and really not interesting as a vacation place even there was a beautiful beach in the west of the island because no one access can be used to go there.

Moving onto the one after construction, now the island is very nice for tourists to spend their holiday there. Some facilities, like accommodation, was built in the west and the other one was in the middle of island. The others, such as restaurant and reception, was built between two accommodation areas and the pier was built in the south of island which two cruise ships are docked there. In addition, the owner of island did not forget to provide access in the island. Footpath was built around accommodation areas and as an access to beach and vehicle track was built as an access from pier to the reception and restaurant. By adding footpath, now tourist can go to the beach in the west of island and they can swim near the beach.

In conclusion, there are many changes and development of facilities in the island. Now,  it will be very useful to develop  the sector of tourism in that island.
