The bar graph demonstrates the recycling trends of four different materials—plastic, cans, paper and glass— every five years from 1992 to 2002. Households were more conscious of recycling all four materials, supported by the higher ratio of households recycling each category at the end of the decade comparing with the beginning data. The most noticeable change was demonstrated by the glass, whose ratio almost doubled every five years, from under 15% in 1992 to 49% in 2002. Tripled percentage of household started recycling paper in 2002 compared with the data in 1992, that were 29% versus 13% respectively. When it comes to cans, it can be found that people were less aware of recycling cans in the first half-decade of the period, and the graph shows a 3% drop in households recycling such material. However, a sheer increase was detected in the next five years; the ratio doubled compared to the first half-decade. Instead of showing a decreasing percentage of household recycling plastic, a 3% increase can be concluded from 1992 to 1997. Intriguingly, there was no change in the data happened in the last half-decade. Overall, glass ended up with the most recycled material in the end, and households awareness of recycling plastic has the largest room for improvement.

Today Advertisement me 1 message No attachment 1:55 AM No Subject These days, there is a widespread argument on the issue of whether large companies should provide sports and community facilities to the local people. While some still hold to the conservative view, I strongly argue that it is expected from large companies to establish sports and community facilities for the local people. The reasons for this are as follows. First of all, it is vitally important that large companies attempt to compensate for the harm they have brought to the local populations’ lives. Although such companies as Ferray factory have generated higher employment opportunities for the local residents, their ecological damages and disruptive impacts on residents’ daily lives like air pollution, noise pollution and heavy traffic are undeniable. In order to alleviate applied drawbacks, building sports gyms, health clinics and schools could be compensating. It is, therefore, necessary for large companies to pay adequate attention to the locals' tranquillity. Yet, perhaps the strongest argument in favour of this issue is the tremendous merits that would return to benefit those companies. Of course, investing in such facilities would impose an economic burden on large companies, nonetheless, this approach would increase convenience and enjoyment for their employees as well, resulting in efficiency growth at work. For instance, having provided such facilities for locals by Google company resulted in a peaceful life as well as an increase in the workers' innovation and problem-solving skills. Additionally, this would be associated with skilled workforces in the future. So, rather than considering building facilities for the public redundant, fulfilling these methods is advisable in the long term. By way of conclusion, I once again reaffirm my position that dedicating funds to providing facilities for local people is justified. Furthermore, warning the chief executive of the consequences of both implementing and ignoring this policy would encourage them to inv me 1 message No attachment 1:18 AM No Subject The graphs below show the percentage of graduates that got full-time jobs after graduating from a university in Australia, and the average salary of both these types of graduates, from 2004 to 2012.

A glance at the line graph provided compares the rate of full-time recruitment among Math graduates and other graduates from an Australian university, while, the table illustrates their salaries during the period from 2004 to 2012.
