The line graph compares usage of daily electricity between winter and summer by hours, while the pie graph illustrates consumption of electricity by house tools. A glance at the graphs reveal that the most of demand is in the winter. Not suprisingly, the heating rooms and water cover the mass majority of the consumption.
The pie charts compare the proportion of water consumption for industry,
agriculture, and domestic purpose in six separate regions of the world.
Overall, it is clear that water used for agriculture accounts for the largest
proportion, except for North America and Europe, mainly providing for
industrial use.
With regard to agricultural use, Central Asia is the area that uses the greatest
level of water, at exactly 88%, followed by the figure for Africa and South
East Asia, at 84% and 81% respectively. South America needs a smaller rate,
with 71%, compared to one-third of the total consumption in Europe.
In contrast, Europe area primarily uses water for industry, making up the
highest percentage among the remaining regions, over a half of the total.
Likewise, 48% of water is prioritized this purpose in North America,
contrasting to 10% of that in South America. A noticeable pattern is that all
six areas use an inconsiderable percentage of water for domestic purpose,
apart from South America, with 19%, being the most significant consumption
level.

Nowadays, in most of the country there is the possibility for children to attend either single-sex schools or co-educational schools. In past time, male and female couldn’t go in the same school, so there were only single-sex schools and for this reason people didn’t have any choice and must send their children to that type of schools.
Consequently, now, there are more and more co-educational schools than single-sex schools which are becoming less common. Indeed, some parents don’t agree on sending their children to single-sex schools because this could cause problems in their future. Even though, single-sex schools seem to be more secure (controlled), where teachers can teach better and parents would be less worried on problems and arguments which can happen between the two different sex. Actually, these arguments are good for the development and growing of the children/prole.
For instance, in mixed school is represented the real society where people are not divided into the two sex and have to work together and collaborate. So, co-educational helps to share ideas and confront opinions among several people who will be next citizens of the world. Of course, diversity can generate fighting, but this is something that a child has to experience. (Moreover, this schools help to develop the socialization of the children and start to send them to the right way for life)
To sum up, I personally agree that children who attend single school would have some disadvantages in their future life, because society is mixed and the best time to learn how to live properly is actually childhood. In my opinion, school is a place for learning how to live with other people, for building/establish relationships and not only for memorizing topics.
