The graph below gives information about the number of Catholics residing in different nations, during 2010-2013. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant

The bar charts enumerate the

number

of

Catholics

who live in different nations in 2010 and 2013. The States taken into account are:

China

,

India

, Philippines, Vietnam, Korea and Japan.

According to

the graph, amongst the 6

countries

three of them had a raise of numbers in 2013 compared to 2010:

China

,

India

and Japan. For the other 3

countries

the

number

of

Catholics

is lower in 2013 than in 2010. On one hand, the country with the highest

number

of

Catholics

is Philippines by far. The specific nation in 2010 had over 75

million

of Catholic believers and in 2013 72

million

.

On the other hand

Japan is the country with the lowest

number

: 400,000 in 2010 and 509,000 in 2013. Regarding the other four

countries

,

China

and

India

in 2010 had more or less the same

number

of

Catholics

, between 9 and 10

million

.

Although

in 2013 the difference is bigger,

India

had 19

million

and

China

15

million

. The situation is similar for Vietnam and Korea, in 2010 both

countries

had around 5

million

of believers,

while

in 2013 Vietnam remained roughly with the same

number

.

On the contrary

Korea lost around 4

million

of

Catholics

in 2013. Some

companies

sponsor

sports

as a way to advertise themselves. Some

people

think it is good,

while

others think there are disadvantages to

this

. Discuss both sides and give your opinion. I strongly believe that for a

company

to

sponsor

specific

sports

in order to advertise themselves is definitely a good move. Some of the most famous advertising campaign are linked to

sports

.

In addition

, some

companies

have based their entire success on relating themselves to certain

sports

e.g. the energy drink Redbull sponsored all kind of extreme

sports

. Some

people

might think for some reasons that a

company

should avoid sponsoring

sports

. Maybe it is because some think that certain

companies

should remain an elite and linking themselves to

sports

mean to tarnish their images. Even more, some

people

might believe that it could turn into a bad investment since

companies

need to take big financial risks with huge investments to

sponsor

certain

sports

.

Therefore

,

according to

some it is better not to

sponsor

a

sport

at all. In my personal view,

companies

should

sponsor

sports

if they have the possibility to do so. It is not important whether the

company

produces sportswear e.g. Rolex with the most famous tennis player Roger Federer or the

company

AON with the football team Manchester United. Every fan of the specific

sport

makes the immediate link with a

sport

player or a team and a brand. By sponsoring a

sport

,

companies

have the possibility to show their brand to millions of

people

worldwide and often

this

tactic has a huge return in sales.

To conclude

, I strongly disagree with those who are contrary to the idea of

companies

sponsor

a

sport

. Millions of

people

watch different

sports

every single day and unconsciously a lot of them are hooked by some sponsors even if they do not realize it immediately.

People

love

sports

and they will keep watching them,

therefore

it is a great way for a

company

sponsor

a

sport

to advertise itself.
