*The bar graph compares how much UK citizens of different age groups spent on three items in 2014.

Overall, in three out of five age groups including 31-45, 46-50 and 76+ age brackets, spending on food and drink made up the biggest expenditure category, while restaurant and hotel and entertainment were most spent on items among under 30-year-olds and people aged 61-75.

Regarding the first two age groups, UK residents aged under 30 expended most on restaurant and hotel services, making up roughly 15% of their total spending. Their expenditure on food and drink and entertainment, in contrast, accounted for just over 5% each. 31-45-year-olds, on the other hand, set aside more than a tenth of their expenditure for food and drink and restaurant and hotels compared to spending on entertainment, which constituted around 7%.

As for the remaining age groups, spending patterns across older age groups varied greatly. People aged 46-60, for instance, reported a spending of over 15% of their total expenditure on food and drink while the figure for other categories was much lower than this amount. The 61-75 age group was the only one whose expenditure on entertainment was highest, making up just under a quarter, followed by spending on food and drink, at a fifth. Interestingly, they allocated only 2% of their spending to restaurant and hotel. Finally, the biggest consumer of food and drink were people aged 76+, whose expenditure on this item accounted for about 23%, and it was nearly twice as much as it was on entertainment. In contrast, their spending on restaurant and hotels made up roughly 5%.#task1 267 words, #classwork#Mukhammadali_Issues

**Many people believe that countries should produce food for the whole population and import as little food as possible.

To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Some* suggest that countries produce food for their entire populace domestically and keep their importation to a bare minimum. While this suggestion can be justified on some grounds, I personally take issue with it.

The idea of producing all foodstuff at home rather than import it can be palatable in some respects. The first reason has to do with the cost of importation. Some people believe that because importation entails added cost from transportation and government tariffs, it proves rather unaffordable to locals, as it is the case with wheat products in my country Uzbekistan, which are primarily outsourced from a neighboring country Kazakhstan. Furthermore, the proponents of producing all food domestically cite some economic benefits. They argue that an increase in demand for local foodstuff leads to growth in the production and farming sectors, which means more jobs for locals. Creation of new vacancies, in turn, prompts more income and spending, ultimately stimulating the economy.

I, however, share the view that limiting food importation is not a sensible course of action despite the benefits above. Just as importation can be expensive, producing at home can also be impractical from a cost standpoint. That is, countries are often at a disadvantage when they grow geographically foreign food at home. For instance, attempts to cultivate and sell citrus fruit like orange and lemon outside tropical countries could be futile, making importation is a better alternative. Additionally, importation boosts international trade. When countries turn to their neighbors for food products, they engage in trade, which facilitates foreign links. This would not only result in a dynamic global economy, but also foster close-knit international cooperation.

In conclusion, granted, domestic production of all food can be desirable in instances where importation is uneconomical and in terms of revitalizing the local economy, but I lean towards encouraging more importation as it can be more practical and sensible in reinforcing foreign trade and relationships.#task2 318 words, #classwork#Mukhammadali_Issues
