Lời giải Task 1:
The charts illustrate how many hours children spend with their parents on weekdays and weekends, according to age group.
Overall, on weekdays children spend more time with their mothers than their fathers. At weekends, however, children spend most of their time with both parents.
On weekdays, children of all ages up to 9 years old are with their mothers for almost 6 hours per day. In contrast, children up to 2 years old and children aged 8-9 spend about 2 hours with just their fathers each day, whereas for other ages this is less, at about 1-1.5 hours per day. While children up to 2 years old spend 2 hours daily with both parents, this figure then falls by about half.
At weekends, on the other hand, children up to 2 years old are with both parents for more than 4 hours daily, increasing to over 5 hours for the older age groups. The time spent with mothers is slightly less, at around 4 hours per day for all ages. Finally, much less time is spent only with fathers, at 1 hour per day or less.

Lời giải Task 2:
It is true that a growing number of people have put their personal details online. While there are undoubtedly dangers in this, I believe that the convenience of putting such data on the internet outweighs the negative aspects.On the one hand, personal information which is held online may be stolen or misused in some way by cyber criminals. For example, thanks to advances in technology, online banking is now common. People must trust the security measures put in place by banks and by companies to ensure that their bank account details are guaranteed to be secure from computer hackers. Strict codes of conduct minimise the dangers but, in contrast, criminals can access all kinds of personal information which people naively provide on social networking sites, such as Facebook or Instagram. As a result, users of these sites may find that they are victims of online scams.
On the other hand, the storage of personal information online is convenient in various ways. Firstly, it enables people to pay for goods ordered over the internet, for instance. Time-consuming visits to the shops or the bank have been superseded by simply clicking a computer key. Secondly, sharing personal information on social network sites is one of those socio-economic changes which has revolutionised patterns of behaviour . Friends and family members who have access to the internet are able to keep in touch freely and easily. Thus, sharing personal details online for business or pleasure has accelerated the flow of information and is user-friendly , and therefore old ways of doing things have become obsolete.
In conclusion, despite the risks of personal online information falling into the wrong hands, I would argue that the convenience of sharing this information outweighs these risks.
