consumption of energy in Florida in 2007 and the prediction in 2017. The energy is divided into some different types according to fuel sources.
Overall, it can be seen that there are two fuel types
which are predicted to rise in the 2017; natural gas and nuclear. It means that the consumptions of both non fossil energy will be consider in the future because they can produce much energy by using fewer amount of energy.
In 2007 and 2017, the most noticeable pattern is
shown by natural gas. There was a major proportion of natural gas in 2007, which was 38.8 %, and it is estimated that the proportion will rise to 54.4 % in 2017. The same pattern is also shown by nuclear. It is predicted that the consumption of nuclear will be rise about 4% in 2017, after 11.9% of nuclear used in 2007. By contrast, the consumption of oil, renewable energy, coal, and other fuel types is expected to fall in 2017. The consumption of oil in 2007 was 6.7% and it will drop to 1.1 % and will be the most unpopular fuel in 2017. The similar pattern is also given by renewable energy. Even though it is predicted to be more popular than oil in 2017, the proportion of renewable energy will fall to 1.5%. Writing Task 2
The birth rate in most developed countries is
predicted to begin to fall over the next 50 years. By 2030 it is estimated that over one third of the population in most developed countries will be aged 65 and over.
What effects will these predictions have on
countries if they prove true? What can be done now to deal with the situation?
Nowadays, most people worry about over-population
and living in the crowded cities. However, it is prediction that in the next 50 years, the birth rate in most developed countries will fall and it is estimated that there are 30% of the population will be aged 65 and over.
If the predictions prove true, the number of older
people in the developed countries will be bigger than younger people. It means we will find fewer people who productive to work. As the result, the number of tax payer will fall in the future. Governments may think to increase the official retirement age to 70 and even over. Government will need to make sure that the older people are healthy and fit enough to handle their work.

Theme: Friendship
1. Tell me about your friends.
I have a close friend that I always communicate with him intensively. His name is Fidel. He is a lecturer in our university. He is a smart person who always shares knowledge that he has. He is a calm person but sometimes he like to tell jokes and make many people laugh. He is really passionate to continue his study and implements his knowledge to grow up our country. I feel really blessed to be his friend.
2. How do you think your friends see you?
I think my friends feel comfortable with me. I am a loyal friend. I am a good listener and I can keep safely their secret. They are proud of me because I am keen on literature and love writing poem and short story.
3. It is impossible to make loyal and sincere
friends on social networking sites on internet? Why? Why not? In my view, I am doubt that we can make loyal friends on social media such as Facebook or Twitter. In social media people tend to mask their real characters. They may show a good attitude when they communicate with us, but we can see directly their expression or gestures, so we cannot judge objectively the people.
