The pie chart illustrates the principal reasons behind the worldwide land degradation, whilst the table chart represents the main causes which led to the aforementioned issue by region in the 1990s. Overall, over-grazing was the main cause of agricultural land degradation, while European region was the one, mostly affected by this issue. Looking in closer detail at the pie chart, it can be clearly seen that over-grazing is the leading factor of land degradation throughout the world with a frequency of 35%. The deforestation issue comes after representing 30% then the over-cultivation with 28%. However, a minority of other reasons are still responsible for this environmental disease. Moreover, the table chart highlights the fact that Europe is the most devasted land comparing to Oceania and north America with a fraction worth 23% . The major cause is deforestation representing a portion of 9.8%. Oceania follows the word wide trend with over grazing as a first cause of land degradation. Finally, North America is clearly the less polluted region with 5% of land destructed.
Children today have to face the pressure from different aspects of modern life, such as education, society and business. I would analyze the reasons and provide solutions.
The most evident reason would be vicious competition in today’s world. Children who want to study at a famous university have to achieve better scores than their peers. In addition, they have to handle relationships with people around them. They have been told that social skill can benefit them to get opportunities in society in the future. As a consequence, some students try to make friends with children who have good scores or excellent family backgrounds. On the other hand, children also get pressure from their families and peers. At home, a child may be told that one of his cousins is excellent, so he should learn from him. At school, a child might suffer bully because he doesn’t have famous band clothes or he comes from a poor family.
The solution for the first condition is to encourage them to learn for interests rather than scores. Since interests are the best teacher which is a guide to tell children how to learn well so that children don’t have to treat the? study as a task but some interesting things. For the second condition, parents should learn better methods to educate their children. They can relive the children’s stress by companionship or tell them what is the best friendship. At school, teachers have the responsibility to tell students that they should not judge a book from its cover and do not laugh at the students who need help.
In conclusion, education is an important responsibility for the whole society. So more reasons for the children’s pressure need to be found and tackled so that they can grow up healthily.
Today, an increasing number of parents have chosen to remove their children from conventional schools and teach them at homes by tutors or by parents themselves. From my perspective, the disadvantages are more significant than the benefits.
Admittedly, there are some advantages for those children who study at home. For example, a flexible schedule meets the family needs and customized learning plans may inspire some children’s interests, so many of them can learn much faster and deeper in some subjects than their peers. For those children suffered from bullying at school, homeschooling can not only make them feel safe under the protection of their parents but also strengthen their family bonds. All of these appear perfect as those parents claimed in the short term.
However, judging from a general development in the long run, there are many disadvantages for home-schooled students. They can barely obtain widely knowledge as their peers. In China, students normally learn eleven to twelve subjects with professional teachers who graduated with(from?) specific majors. Conversely, parents can hardly offer professional education in various subjects as school teachers do. Even they can hire professional tutors teaching at home, that still cannot compare with school education, let alone it is a big financial burden from a family. Additionally, students not only get knowledge at school but also practise social skills with their peers, such as communication skills and conflict solving methods. It is impossible for children to learn( Students cannot learn, which expression is better?) from their families when they study at home.
In conclusion, education is a serious problem (topic?) for everyone, especially for children. Homeschooling methods can take many advantages for children, whereas they cannot replace school education. The cons outweigh the pros apparently. Therefore, parents should consider cautiously before making decisions.
The flow chart below shows the three stages of glass bottle recycling. The flowchart provides key information about the different stages of glass cans recycling.
Overall, it is clear from the grap that there were multiple processes, and closed-loop must be applied in a bottle to use it again. Firstly, the collection all glass bottles were used in a specific place marked collection point and moved to the industry. Second, in stage 2 of cleaning the plant exposing this box to high-pressurized water.
After that, as we showed, divided into three category: clear, green, and brown. Then, moved to a recycling plant to offer this glass to the furnace. Now, that we have recycled liquid glass, we can put this liquid into a many and multiple moulds to earn this shape.
In the end, moved this new product to customer's supermarket and used this bottle again. After that, we will apply steps to other utility cans.

The diagram illustrates the multitude of steps and equipment involved into cement making, it also showcases how cement is used in concrete production for building purposes. Overall, there are several stages and tools which are used in this complex process. First of all, limestone and clay are crushed to get powder. Next, they are mixed before being put in a rotating heater. The mixture passes in a grinder to get thus the cement. This latter is put in bags to be stored and sold. In addition to this process, the figure highlights the method to manufacture another essential commodity in the building industry wish is concrete. Indeed, this material is composed from 15% of cement, 10% of water, 25% of sand and 50% of gravel. The all is mixed thanks to an adapted mixer in order to get the final goods.

The diagram outlines the various steps involved in the process of publishing a book. Overall, a manuscript goes through nine stages before it is released to the public. First, after the manuscript is written, it is sent to the publishing house for thorough analysis and review. Once approved, a contract is negotiated and signed between the author and the publisher. The next stage involves designing the book's layout using specialized software, followed by obtaining final approval. Once the layout is approved, the manuscript is printed, transforming the digital content into a physical book. This is followed by bookbinding, where the editor selects the appropriate format for the book. Finally, the finished volume is distributed to various bookstores for sale. The entire process typically takes 18 to 24 months. In conclusion, publishing a book in physical form, regardless of its literary genre, requires numerous steps—nine in total—and demands close collaboration between the author and the publisher.
