Lời giải Task 1:
The first pie chart shows the proportion of water used to produce 6 agricultural commodities in 2004, while the second chart illustrates the proportion of total income from these products in the same year.
Overall, the largest percentage of water was consumed in the production of vegetables, whereas fruit accounted for the highest proportion of income.
Almost half of all the water consumed was used to produce vegetables, although the income from vegetables was only approximately one-third of the total income. In contrast, fruit production accounted for about 35% of the water use, but in terms of income this was higher than vegetables, at approximately 40%.
The figures for the other products were significantly lower. Cotton production used about 10% of the water and was responsible for 10% of the income, and both these percentages were almost double the figures for linen production. Finally, both rice and dairy products used less than 5% of the water. However, while dairy products provided almost 10% of the income, rice accounted for only about 1%.

Lời giải Task 2:
It is true that many people defend the right of individuals to do any dangerous sports activity if they wish. However, I agree with the view that governments should impose an official ban on such sports on safety grounds.
On the one hand, those who support dangerous sports believe that it is important to exert oneself to the limit by meeting and overcoming challenges in life. Extreme sports, such as mountaineering, parachuting and caving test both skills and fitness. People who practice these and similar sports become mentally and physically tough. Supporters of dangerous sports argue that there is a low probability of serious injury, including life-threatening injuries. They emphasise the need to take sensible precautions, and adhere to codes of conduct for their sport. They do this, for example, by using essential sports gear like protective clothing, and by being in the peak of condition to practice their sport.
On the other hand, I concur with those who want governments to outlaw dangerous sports. Firstly, life has more than enough challenges without spending time and money on dangerous sports. There is so much fulfilling work,for instance, that needs to be done by helping others in the local community. Secondly, the risks that individuals take when doing extreme sports may involve endangering the lives of others. Mountain rescue teams, air ambulance crew and coastguards may all be called on to save people doing dangerous sports.
In conclusion, despite the safety measures that will reduce the risk of sustaining injuries, governments should ban or introduce severe restrictions on the practice of dangerous sports.
