TASK 1:

The graphs compare the proportion of tourists from countries and continents traveling to Australia and Germany
over the period between 1960 and 2010. 

Overall, the percentage of tourists from Europe and Britain in both countries experienced a downward trend, while
the opposite is true for those from Asia. Meanwhile, the number of American people flocking to Germany showed a
reverse trend compared to that of Australia.

In regards to continents, Europeans coming to Australia in 1960 had a proportion of 53% and fell considerably by
43%, while those in Germany only declined slightly from 45% to 40%. The number of Asian visitors to Australia and
Germany, reversely, tended to both go up during the period. Specifically, from the equal figure of 10%, the rate of
tourists from Asia to Australia rocketed to 63%, while Germany only reached 25%.

When it comes to the other two countries, British flocking to Germany and Australia saw a downward trend from
1960 to 2010. In Australia, there was an insignificant drop in the number of British travelers to this country (from
25% to 20%), which was roughly as three times as the decrease of those to Germany, by 14%. American visitors
had a tendency to choose Germany as their tourist destination, with the increase from 25% to 29%. Comparing to
Australia, this figure was much lower, illustrated by the number of 12% in 1960 and

TASK 2:
 It is said that computers have been an indispensable element in almost all aspects in the contemporary
time. Hence, the application of them as teaching assistants is now highly encouraged in educational institutions.
This essay will discuss both sides of this phenomenon. 
On the one hand, using technologies for educational purposes has brought about precious benefits for not
only educators but also learners. Firstly, learners using computers have less difficulties accessing subjects’ topic-
related knowledge. It is more convenient for them to search for their needed information. For example, students
learning language today prefer using online dictionaries to paper-based ones. The former takes them just a second
to find the meaning of the words, which is much more time-saving compared to conventional dictionaries.
Secondly, educators can use computers to diversify their ways of teaching. Some subjects such as chemistry,
geography, and others that need illustrations for knowledge to be easily absorbed, which can generate excitement
among students attending the lesson. 
On the other hand, regardless of the beneficial impacts of computers on education, there still exist several
risks that this tool can pose to students. The first drawback is that students are likely to be driven to unwanted
distraction. In fact, schooling children get unlimited access to a great number of virtual recreational activities, which
are increasingly attractive. Without strict supervision from teachers, they are easily distracted from their study.
Another minus side of computers is the lack of accessibility for people in remote areas. Admittedly, there are still a
large segment of regions where technological advancement has not reached yet. This, virtually, creates unfair
education in which privileged students can access technology and become more progressive than those who are
not provided enough facilities for their study.
In conclusion, introducing computers to the classrooms is both negative and positive. From my perspective,
it is advisable for educational institutions to apply technologies to their teaching methods on the condition that they
provide adequate supervision.
