Report:
The bar chart compares the average monthly depth of snow in one Canadian ski resort in three selected years.
Overall, it is clear that in all three years the snow depth was greatest from February to April, while the fluctuation in snow depths was greatest in Year Two.
In Year One, the snow was 100cm deep in November, and this figure increased steadily to 150 cm in January. It then rose sharply to 440cm in February and 450cm in March, before a slight fall to 400 cm in April. There was a similar trend in snow depth recordings in Year Three. In November, the snow was about 100 cm deep, increasing to 180cm in January and then rising steeply to 350 cm deep in February and March. In April, the depth decreased to 300cm.
In contrast, in Year Two the depth of snow fluctuated between 80cm and 120 cm between November and January. There was then a dramatic increase to 400 cm in February and March, reaching a peak of 470 cm in April.

Lời giải Task 2:
Essay:
It is true that youth crime is a growing problem in great cities across the world. While it is possible to identify some of the causes, some measures could be taken to deal with this worrying trend.
I would argue that there are two significant reasons why young people in major cities are increasingly involved in committing crime. Firstly, in the mass exodus of people from the countryside to the cities, it is often the youth who feel the greatest sense of alienation. They arrive with high hopes of finding a good job, earning a lot of money and buying all those consumer goods which are advertised everywhere. They are soon disillusioned with the reality of city life – unemployment and poverty - so that the only escape is by resorting to crime. Secondly, the social bonds which exist in rural communities are broken in big cities like New York, Tokyo or Rio de Janeiro. There, in these concrete jungles, there is no feeling of community, and the youth easily turn to crime and drugs.
There are solutions, however, to reintegrate young people back into the community. One measure is to provide the youth with well-paid jobs improving the urban infrastructure. The money saved on fighting crime, such as drug trafficking should be spent on urban renewal schemes. Another solution is to provide urban facilities for young people, for example sports centres, music studios and funding for city youth to make a fresh start through educational opportunities. Less neglect will result in less crime.
In conclusion, some causes of rising crime rates among young people in major cities can be identified, but some solutions could be applied.
