Portfolio Task 3


Balanced diet

            Many people nowadays are looking for health and other don’t care about health. Also, everyone looks healthier if they diet; most doctors agree with that. I have to say I agree with that.

            First of all, it is abundantly clear, to function property, the human body needs all sorts of proteins, vitamins as well as fats. It requires them so that each organ can produce the require a energy. This is only possible with balanced meals and diet. Absence of anyone of food supplement, for a long period of time, can cause serious damage to the body which leads to ill-health and sickness. Perhaps, it is immediately apparent that due to constant changing lifestyle. There is a great attention require toward food intake. The mind can get a sense of satisfaction only after having appropriate food. This can produce a lot of energy, which is a must in today’s hectic routine.

            I used to consume a lot of conversation food as well as junk food. I wasn’t able to concentrate on my work as my body was always aching. I faced many diseases before dieting; Then, I spent money for a diet with a doctor to transform my lifestyle and get healthy. That is the story of my diet and I have some experience in that, and I got healthy step by step.

            In conclusion, I think that diet is critical to our physical wellbeing. There are many other factors to keep our body out of sickness. Therefore, we should utilize the synergy of all these factors to lead a healthy life and have a better lifestyle.

Using mobile phones while driving
Mobile phones are used all over the world. Some people think the mobile phone shall be used everywhere and always. But others don’t agree with that idea. However, I will argue in the following paragraphs why mobile phones are used when they drive.

Some people use mobile phones when they drive because they sometimes have an emergency call or communication. The next thing is that they have some problem at home or at work for which they need a phone to communicate. Another thing is perhaps they won’t have anything do but just play on their mobile phone. Also, some people chat with their friends and cause an accident.

On the other hand, there are many points against using phones when we drive and using mobile phones can cause accidents. Also, we can’t focus when we use our mobiles while we are driving. A second point, is when looking at the mobile phone, one can’t see the road, so maybe he will cause an accident. In additional, you can tell someone if you will be late for a meeting; before you drive car stop somewhere sale and talk on your mobile phone.

In summary, although there are arguments for and against, I think we can’t use mobile swhen we are driving because 80% of what happens is accident so we can save our life and other people's life; also, we can reach our destination alive.

Portfolio Task 2


Reasons for studying and employer support in the UK

     The bar charts compare students of different ages in terms of why they are studying and whether they are supported by an employer.

     It is clear that the proportion of students who study for career purposes is far higher among the younger age groups, while the oldest students are more likely to study for interest. Employer support is more commonly given to younger students.

     Plus, around 80% of students aged under 26 study to further their careers, whereas only 10% study purely out of interest. The space between these two proportions narrows as students get older, and the figures for those in their forties are the same, at about 40%. Students aged over 49, study for interest, 70%, rather than for career reasons, less than 20%

     In conclusion over 60% of students aged under 26 are supported by their employers; in contrast, the 30-39 age group is the most self-sufficient.
