40.1 Imagine that you are doing a project on the most spoken languages. 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.

|---|---|
| Mandarin Chinese | 918 000 000 |
| Spanish | 480 000 000 |
| English | 379 000 000 |
| Hindi | 341 000 000 |
| Bengali | 300 000 000 |
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 knowledge of different languages and suggest the way of solving it;
— draw a conclusion giving your personal opinion on the importance of languages in human life
40.2 Imagine that you are doing a project on world population by countries. You have collected some data on the subject (see the diagram below).

40.1. Various languages have prevalence in different parts of the world, making it an interesting and diverse place. However, two people speaking different languages will have trouble communicating with each other. My project, which
I am still working on, is aimed at finding out what languages are considered the most spoken in the world. 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 Chinese is the most spoken language at 918 million speakers worldwide. The second one is that Bengali falls behind other languages on the table with just 300 million speakers.
It is also worth mentioning that English only has 38 million more speakers than Hindi.
In my opinion, the statistics in the table reveal an important problem. Far too few people in the world know English, making communication between people of different cultures more difficult. To solve this problem, world governments should focus more on teaching their citizens this universal language so that more people could talk with someone on the other side of the world and reach an understanding.
In conclusion, I believe that languages are a fascinating tool that makes communication easier, as long as a common language is shared by all sides of a conversation.

40.2. The world population is the number of individuals that are currently alive on the planet. Knowing the world population by countries allows a further understanding of humanities growth as a whole. My project, which I am still working on, is aimed at finding out the world population by countries.. I have found some data on this issue and organized it in the table below
I can identify two main features of the statistics presented in the chart below. The first one is that around 20% of the world population is from China and the other 20% is from India. The second one is that 50 % of the world population comes from other countries in the world excluding the USA, Indonesia, Pakistan and Brazil.
It is also worth mentioning that these four countries mentioned previously represent 2.5% each of the world population.
In my opinion, the statistics in the table reveal an important problem. China and India are the two main countries responsible for the population growth. I think that in order to solve this problem the government should regulate the birth rates of their country and promote adoption.
In conclusion, I believe that the encouragement of adoption in countries like China and India can help prevent the overpopulation of the planet. This can lead to a better quality to those kids that are adopted by a family with better opportunities.
