TASK 1
The pie chart and the table state the reasons for the amount of co2 emissions that cause worldwide global warming among the three continents: Europe, America, and Asia.
In general, there are four main causes of global warming: vehicle exhaust fumes, factory fumes, deforestation and overpopulation. Among them, vehicle exhaust fumes is the highest, at 34%. It is more than three times that of overpopulation, which is 11%.
CO2 emissions in Europe are mainly caused by both vehicle exhaust fumes and factory fumes, which account for more than 60%. Both vehicle exhaust fumes and deforestation are severe in America, at over 60%. Finally, a combination of vehicle exhaust fumes, factory fumes and overpopulation accounts for 91% of Asia’s co2 emissions. Surprisingly, both vehicle exhaust fumes and factory fumes cause more than 50% of all emissions.
These charts, therefore, show that more than 30% of co2 emissions are caused by vehicle exhaust fumes, which means it is the main cause bringing about global warming.

TASK 2
These days, we live in a world of convenient travel. Most people have an interest in travelling both domestically and abroad. There are many attractions to see all over the world as well as a number of great places to rest and recuperate. In reality, it is true that tourists have faced with problems such as traffic, robbery and overcharging whilst travelling. However, a lot of positive aspects from tourism have actually arisen.
Firstly, for cultural and historic spots, a lot of tourists like to visit Europe, Africa or Asia because of numerous landscapes and cheap flight tickets. They can enjoy areas of natural beauty or perhaps some places of historical interest. For example, according to the National Heritage in the UK, most visitors who set foot in Bath are interested in seeing the old Roman sites. They have a great opportunity to enter a luxury Roman bathhouse and enjoy a modern-style spa treatment.
Secondly, tourists travel not only for entertainment but also for educational reasons. They may have a strong desire to pay visits to wonderful attractions like temples or national parks that they have previously learnt about. These destinations show the importance of cultural values. Typically, a visit to Stonehenge enables tourists to gain a wide knowledge about prehistoric customs and to be fully aware of how they relate to the modern day.
In conclusion, despite a few possible problems, tourism brings about more benefits than shortcomings for travellers. They can appreciate not only the beauty of travel, cultural enjoyment and relaxation but it also offers a refreshing escape from the stress of the real world as well as the motivation to learn new things.
