40.1 Imagine that you are doing a project on the amount of motor vehicles in the world. You have collected some data on the subject (see the table below).
Comment on the data in the table and give your personal opinion on the subject of the project.
| Country | Motor vehicles per 1000 people |
|---|---|
| USA | 816 |
| Canada | 685 |
| UK | 473 |
| Russia | 388 |
| India | 42 |
Write 200−250 words. Use the following plan:
— make an opening statement on the subject of the project work;
— select and report 2−3 main features;
— make 1−2 comparisons where relevant;
— outline a problem that can arise with the quantity of motor vehicles in the world and suggest the way of solving it
— draw a conclusion giving your personal opinion on the importance of motor vehicles
40.2 Imagine that you are doing a project on life expectancy in Russia. You have collected some data on the subject (see the diagram below).
Comment on the data in the diagram and give your personal opinion on the subject of the project.

40.1. Motor vehicles are an important part of both the daily life and the industry of any developed country. My project, which I am still working on, is aimed at finding out how many vehicles are in use in various countries. I have found some data on this issue and organised it in the table below.
I can identify two main features of the statistics presented in the table. The first one is that the highest level of motorisation can be found in the USA. The second one is that the lowest number of cars per capita is in India at just 42 vehicles per 1000 people.
It is also worth mentioning that the UK only has slightly more vehicles than Russia, surpassing it by just 85.
In my opinion, the statistics in the table reveal an important problem. Some countries have too many vehicles, which contributes to urban sprawl and negatively affects the population. I think that in order to solve this problem governments should focus more on developing public transport, such as buses and light rail.
In conclusion, I believe that controlling the number of motor vehicles is vital for keeping the balance between a healthy industry and a healthy population.

40.2. Life expectancy in Russia can give a useful insight of the development of a country. My project, which I am still working on, is aimed at finding out the life expectancy in Russia. I have found some data on this issue and organized it in the chart below
I can identify two main features of the statistics presented in the chart below. The first one is that the lowest life expectancy in Russia was in 2001. The second one is that the highest life expectancy is 76 years old in 2019.
It is also worth mentioning that the life expectancy has been increasing rapidly since 2001.
In my opinion, the statistics in the chart reveal an important problem. We can see that the life expectancy has doubled since 1971 to 2019, which means that there are even more retired and older people in Russia. I think that in order to solve this problem the government should promote more immigration of younger people to fill in the job positions that the elderly have left behind.
In conclusion, I believe that the promotion of more jobs for immigrants should maintain the economy at a higher growth path. This would balance out the decrease of the economic growth that is a result of the increase of the life expectancy.
