The pie chart and the table show the reason of the degradation of agriculture land worldwide and specifically in three regions.
Over-Grazing affects the situation worldwide most significantly, which accounts for 35%. While the deforestation is related to the degradation with a coefficient of 30%, the third main cause of worldwide degradation is over-cultivation, which has a 28% weight. All other reasons of worldwide degradation take 7% altogether.
Regionally, North America has the least degradation compare to Europe and Oceania, which has an 5% total land degradation during the 1990s'. while Europe, as the time-honored developed regions, has the highest degradation ratio of land, which comes out to be 23%. Oceania, Including Australia and New Zealand, has a 13% of degradation of agriculture land.
The main reason make Europe become the champion of land degradation in 1990s is deforestation,9.8 of its agriculture land degraded for the cause while only 0.2%for North America and 1.7% for Oceania.
Over-cultivation plays the second role in making Europe the worst area in terms of land degradation, North America lost 3.3% of its farmland on this cause while Oceania doesn't have this problem.
Over-grazing is the main reason for Oceania's land degradation, 11.3% of its farmland degraded based on this while totally Oceania only lost 13% of farmland during this period. Europe still make a remarkable figure in this area, 5.5% of its land degraded for this reason. Which manifest North America's 1.5% degradation on this reason relatively acceptable.
Task 2.
There is the controversy that should the family of the school to shoulder the responsibility of nourishing the next generation to become more suitable citizenship in the future.
First of all, As the basis of character are usually established during the first 3 years of a new baby, parents, being the rearer and life bringer of the new future social member, should definitely take premium responsibility. Even when the child goes to the kindergarten or primary school, family still plays an unbeatable significance in children's personality building. As it is said, each family has an unique culture, which will definitely make influence on the son/daughter's values somehow on the reason that people is what they get, physically and psychologically. And it is obvious that most of what young people is from their family.
On the other hand, School, which is the first version of society people get themselves involved, also plays an indispensable role in forming the young generation to be an good member of society. Personally, primary school is the first place I heard about some regulations like I had to ask permission to go out of classroom during class. School is also the first place people learn to cooperate or compete with other members of society. People can learn more and adjust themselves in the mini-type society.
Thus, I think family overweight schools in the early works of influencing children to become a better citizen while schools play an essential role in the next coming character adjustment phrase an can do more on the social role building.

Task 2
The way people communicated and get linked have been significantly transferred nowadays with the emerge of the hi-tech influence.
Firstly, mobile voice services which can theoretically link any two or more terminals, usually human being, anywhere in the world almostly. This was the story on the science fiction only a score years ago. This service enable people a remarkable amount of convenience. people can discuss things anytime anywhere. People don't need to worry about getting lost with their friends or partners on the dates.
Secondly, new technology open a whole new passage for totally strangers to get linked and communicate. All the software like, skype, ICQ, Facebook...., completely explore an fresh platform for people to publish their experiences or opinions or change them with someone particularly.
In my opinion, the emerge of all these new kinds of approaches people link others are irreversible and also present the fantastic milestone in human's develop history. The trend will not only grant human more convenience but a better circumstances for future development.

There are more and more travelling world-wide currently as the consequence of a multiple reasons.
Firstly, The development of aviation technologies and also the competition within civil aviation business have made the long term trip not only much less bewiltering/ torching than before but far more economical both in money and in time are concerned.
Secondly, with the presentation of globalization and the boom of international trade, most evidently the emerging of giant multinational corporations, People need to travel for business or for work more and more frequently.
Thirdly, the fast economic development in the countries of big population, like China and India, has significantly expand the cross-national tourism industry. More Chinese and Indian go abroad for sightseeing and more traditional developed countries tourist come to China and India to visit these brand new ancient places as well.
I think there are a lot of benefits for travelers in our time.businessman or companies can explore their market in a much wider range than ever before with a reasonable traveling cost. For those who enjoy travelling. They can come to more sights and experience more different cultures in relatively short time. These would just make it like they could broaden the width of their life as well prolong their life span.

TASK 1
Dear Sir or Madam,
I have bought some electritions from your shop on the 20th. of August. All of the equipments work well except a microwave-oven which just make the noise like thousands of bees flying in my kitchen. Even though it runs well in your shop. I tried it like 10 times with nothing in it. The noise is still there. And, more unfortunately, the oven do not even heat food then.
I contacted the service of your shop the next morning. One of your service employees answered my phone and asked me to describe the problem of the oven. I think she made some record and she promised to send a engineer to my place within a week. But nothing happened during the next week. So I called your aftersale service again and a man answered my phone. He asked my problem and my adress again and promised to send someone to check it in my place in a week, I waited another week for nothing now.
So I bother you with this letter hoping that you can push the procedure of handling the problem of my oven and make sure your employees can keep their promises. I will wait till this Friday for your shop's concrete movements in this issue, otherwise I will have to ask the help from the relevant customers' right organization. Looking forward from your respnse.
Best regards,
Michael

TASK 2
There is a controversy that if we should separate boys and in different schools or we should educate them together in same schools.
People who believe that boys and girls should be educated separately suggest reasons as below.
Firstly, students who study in mono-sexual school can focus more on their development rather than spending a lot of time and energy on attracting the opposite sex in the mixed schools. Secondly, Students study in the school of single sex will have higher opportunity to choose the subject they are really fond of without the consideration of the traditional idea that some subjects, like physics, are for male and some other subjects , like language or music, are for female. Thirdly, Schools of all female students can more easily organize courses like knitting or cooking while the male schools can easily organize lectures of military or some PE like boxing or some other X-Sport.
The others suppose that mixed schools have its unbeatable advantages than the single sex ones with reasons like students are better prepared for the real society psychologically as they already lived in the mini-society which also consist of male and female.
In my opinion, Sexually separated schools have its merits in developing students' personal talents while mixed schools can help their students prepare for their future adult life better. So parents or students themselves deserve to have the option of both separated schools as well as normal mixed schools.

Dear sir or Madam,
I am a weekly routine buyer in your supermarket as I reside in the same district to your supermarket.

I was picking my daily usage like sugar and coffee in the aisle. And unnoticeablly a package dropped off from the upper level of the shelf . The package hitted my shoulder unfortunately. I was sitting and waiting there for help for like 20 minutes before the staff of your supermarket came.
They helped me to the clinic and accompanied me home. But, anyway, what happened to me is frustrating and quite dangerous potentially. It is totally spoiled this week end of mine.
To prevent these kinds of things to happen again, I sincerely suggest you to make some moves in the place security management and also to make a better policy of emergency responding.
Yours sincerely,

TASK2
People used to be so versatile that many of them were able to do a multitude of crafts' works such as making their own clothes or repairing household facilities.
However, with the time going, seldom people can make or repair these things by themselves any more.
There are overlapped reasons on these this consequence. Firstly, with the development of mass production, there are far more house-hold products of decent quality than before. So the price for these stuffs became lower as the supply increased.
Secondly, labor forces are allocated by different industries far more deeply and overwhelmingly now. people became more focus in the fostering of their abilities in some specific region so that they can be more competent in their future job hunting.
Thirdly, the development of global economy has boomed the global passion of pursuit on fashion. People today need clothes and other stuffs not for its functional features only but for others like manifesting personal social status or just special personality which embodied in some specific brand.
In my country, the situation can be the best sample of this global trend. Self-support crafts works were disapearing rapidly with the pace of economy and mass production development. Hand made stuffs are far more a art or some very special presents nowadays in my homeland. As a developing courtry, There are still a vast area of China, the west part particularly, where people still need to make things for themselves. Generally, the situation in my country is quite unbalanced comparing the west parts to the east parts.
