The graph below presents the employment patterns in the USA between 1930 and 2010.
Summarise the information by selecting and report in the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.
You should write at least 150 words.

The line graph summarises the the USA labour patterns in 5 different industries from years 1930 to 2010. Overall, three of the five given graphs showed steady increase in its rates, while the number of workers in farming, fishing and foresting has been decreasing gradually. Also the rates of Other servises employment pattern remained almost steady.
To begin with, sectors such as Technical, Sales and Office and Industrial expirienced a same trend over the represented timeframe. All of them started at nearly 5% and in 2010 they all showed a range of numbers from 20 to almost 40 percents ( Technical at around 30%, Sales and Office about 20% and Industrial accounting for almost 40% by the end of the period)
On the other hand, Farming, Fishing and Foresting rates of employment were decreasing insignificantly from 1930 to 1960, but then started to decline sharply for the remaining five decades. Speaking of Other servises employment pattern, it rose slightly in 1940, reaching its highest-ever point of somewhere below 20%, but then has been declining inconsiderably for twenty years, reaching a plateu in 1960 and remaining relatably steady till the the end of the given period.
Task 2
You should spend about 40 minutes on this task.
Some educationalists say that every child should be taught how to play a musical instrument. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
You should write at least 250 words.
In recent years more and more parents are insisting on musical education for their kids, and while someone may think it's a great idea, i'm sure that we can't abuse children and make them do something we want. This essay will argue that it is beneficial for youngsters to play on musical instruments.
To start with, why do modern parents exactly give their children to musical schools? They are convinced that it will increase their memory capacity, discipline and self-delivery. And they are right, because recent studies confirmed all of the above and also, they add that those who have been playing on instruments since a very young age are being more successful in the future. Seems like utopia, isn't it? Does it mean that all others are doomed? No. The benefit will only be seen when a child has a desire and a pinch of talent along with a qualified teacher. If a toddler doesn't seem to show much interest, parents don’t have to force, because it will only make your little one hate you.
To continue with, a kid doesn't have to be a musical guru to be prosperous. If a young one enjoys science, take him or her to the lab, if he likes reading, buy him a bunch of books. It is no need to be forceful, because in terms of extracurricular activities you should only listen to your child only, otherwise the result can be unpleasant. For instance, as a child my sister was forced to attend piano classes and she wasn’t fond of this idea at all. Now, a few years later she is pretty sure that the bad relationships she now has with her parents were influenced by their choice. Not the best outcome, isn’t it? Who knows, maybe she will become a world-famous book critic or a scientist? The decision has to be made by a child.
To summarise everything said above, the suggestion that all children have to learn how to play om on the musical instrument is debatable and even controversial. However, I strongly believe that such a choice has to be granted to the one who will attend all those classes - a child.
