Task 5


As you can see from the line graph and the table below, it shows the number of annual visits to Australia by overseas residents and gives information on the country of origin where the visitors come from.

In the line graph between 1975 and 1985 the number of annual visits to Australia  increased by about five million so it reached 15 million. The next ten years in 1995 it was sharply increased to about 25 million. From 1995 to 2005 it continued to increase till it reached more than 30 million.

In the table it shows visitors from different countries who visited Australia between 1975 and 2005. In 1975 the highest number was from Japan, about 3.2million, whereas the lowest was from China. In 2005 Japan still had the highest number of visitors to Australia, 12 million, and still the lowest number of visitors was from China.

In conclusion, I think the number of visitors to Australia will still increase in future.

Task 6


Many people think that trade and travel will be easy with a global currency that we all use. It might be good for people but isn’t good for organization and for government. In this essay I will write about that argument.

On the one hand, a lot of people believe each country must have its own currency for many reasons. The first reason is that the currency should belong to the country. Another reason is there are many crises are under one currency for example, in the EU they are under one currency which is euro. Because of that some countries can’t hold the tax of getting one currency and get crises such as Greece and Spain. In the EU some countries are rich and the rest are poor.

On the other hand, some people think if there is just one global currency it would be easier to trade and travel. So that people don’t need to go to an exchange and change the currency and lose some of the money for profit.

In conclusion, I believe different currencies are good to avoid the crises and financial problems.
