The Chart illustrates the overseas visitors to three different areas in Europeans countries between 1987 to 2007. To begin with, its important to see the firts area (the coast in this case) show a decrease of visitors between 1987 and 1992, from 40 thousands to aproximatly 35 thousands, which is a gradual drop. but since 1992 to 2007 this area experiment a marked increase of visitors going from 35 thousands to over 70 thousands.
In the other hands, the mountains variable show a stay constant in the overseas visitors from 20% a little more than 30 thousands, expressed as a increase only 10 thousands in twenty years. Thirdly the lakes show a grow of 30 thousands from 1987 to 1997, passing from 10 thousands to 40 thousands overseas visitors, but starting from 1997 the lakes has a rapid expansion to 40 thousands to over 70 thousands in only five years, to then has a dramatic fall from 2002 to 2007 with 50 thousands overseas visitors in the same period of time.
In conlusion the graph show the coast areas has a major increment of overseas visitors which proved to be stable. The mountains areas has reamin stable without significant changes over the time. Finally the lkes area shown the major variability of overseas visitors through time, with a significant incremento from 1997 to 2002, and then fall in the same increment.
Task 2
You should spend about 40 minutes on this task.
Some countries achieve international sports by building specialised facilities to train top athletes, instead of providing sports facilities that everyone can use. Do you think this is positive or negative development?
Discuss both views and give your opinion.
You should write at least 250 words.
It is a difficult question because not all people have the same oppotunities bet not all people have a innate talent to differents sports.
Some countries building specialised facilities to train to best athletes because for them is a way to gain international prestige, For example in the USA the universities spend large sums of money in building speacialised and scholarships for athletes in the High School, for the universities is a manner of gain prestige. In the same way China spend large amount of money in the sports, or the USSR at its time.
Despite of the all money spend the world of sports is a difficult and demand area, because not every athlete can manage gain sponsorship to compete, but contrary to popular belief the world of sport not is the completely meritorious, because not all people have the same opportunities neither the same conditions, not all people birth with innate talent such as some athletes like Lionel Messi, Michael phelps, Usain Bolt, who birth with intrinsic talents which that are not achieved with effort.
Other example of inequality is present in the Olympics games, where the rich countries gain the major quantities of gold medals, because their have the capital to spend in building specialised facilities, in contrast the poor countries do not have the enough money to potential his athletes. Maybe if the all people or more people have the opportunities to uses specialised facilities they can explode his attributes and could be find new talents in differents areas.
In summary I believe is negative than only top athletes can used specialised facilities to train, because it can prevent than some people with talents but without opportunities can be explode his talents. But I undestand that countries have a need to spend money on what they believe are their best athletes.
