percentage>proportion; participated>took part in
 Overview/summary paragraph: (1) a higher % of boys participated in
sport (2) dancing was more popular among girls
 Paragraph 3: cultural activities – compare figures for drama and
singing; contrast % for dancing and playing musical instruments
 Paragraph 4: sport – contrast figures for boys and girls

Report:
The bar charts illustrate the proportion of Australian boys and girls between the ages
of 5 and 14 who took part in drama, dancing, singing, playing musical instruments
and sport in 2003.
Overall, it is clear that in 2003 a higher percentage of boys than girls participated in
sport, whereas dancing was a much more popular activity among girls than boys.
In terms of organised cultural activities, the figures for boys and girls who took part
in drama and singing were almost the same, at approximately 5% for each of these
activities. However, while almost one-quarter of girls participated in dancing, the

figure for boys was only 3%. By contrast, 15% of boys played musical instruments
compared with 10% of girls.
There was a significant difference in the proportion of boys and girls who
participated in sport. Although just over half of all girls played sport, the figure for
boys was considerably higher at 70%.

Many foods are shipped from far away. Some people think that eating local
food is better environmentally and economically. Do you think the advantages
outweigh its disadvantages?

Essay Plan:
 Introduction: refer to the task question. My opinion: the advantages
outweigh the drawbacks
 Paragraph 2: disadvantages for the environment (1) food transport
causes pollution – emissions e.g. soya from Brazil to China (2) export
crops = monocultures = habitat destruction
 Paragraph 3: the economy (1) advantage – boosts local economy (2)
disadvantage – a reduction in the range of foods if only local foods are
consumed
 Conclusion: although there are drawbacks, the advantages of eating food
grown locally outweigh the disadvantages.

Essay:
It is true that in recent decades the increase in food miles has raised important
environmental and economic issues. While there are some drawbacks of consuming
only food produced locally, I believe that the advantages of eating local food
outweigh the disadvantages.
In terms of the environment, the transport of food across the world causes major
problems. Firstly, the freight services responsible for shipping food from distant
places cause pollution and hinder efforts to fight climate change by cutting down on
emissions. For example, the transport of soya from Brazil to China involves a
journey of thousands of kilometres. Secondly, crops for export are usually grown as
monocultures, usually resulting in the habitat destruction of animals and plants,
including endangered species. Deforestation in the Amazon, for instance, to raise

cattle for beef exports, is causing the loss of thousands of species and putting other
species on the brink of extinction.
From an economic perspective, there are benefits and drawbacks of only eating
food which is grown locally. On the one hand, if consumers buy food from local
farmers, then this stimulates the local economy. More money will remain within the
local community rather than lining the pockets of distant shareholders. On the other
hand, thanks to the globalisation of food production, the market provides a vast
choice of products for the consumer. If people eat only local foods, they will be able

to enjoy only a limited range of food items which are in season.
In conclusion, although consumers will only have the choice of particular foods at
certain times of the year, I would argue that it is better for the environment and the
economy to eat as many food products which are grown locally as possible.
