Task 2
There are lots of people moving to a new city or a country. As years are passing the amount of people moving is increasing, and there are many different reasons behind this. The improvement in transportation and communication made the world much smaller than what it used to be. Looking for better education or suitable job are some of the reasons behind this issue.
The challenges are so many and it depends on the place you move to. Language could be a problem or challenging but not a serious one though. What can be a big challenge is a different culture. There are lots of things that would go under culture such as clothing, lifestyle and even food which might become difficult for some religions. Yet being homesick is something you cannot deny. Many people cannot handle staying away from their home town. What can be another challenge are rules and regulations, as we all know every country has different ones.
Well, there are many solutions for these challenges which might minimize the challenges and help people to get on quite easy in the country they planned to move to. One of the solutions is learning a common language, which is used worldwide.  Reading and respecting their culture is a massive solution which will save a lot of trouble and time to settle down.  After all this it would be helpful to find other people who have experienced the culture and getting information from them.
Overall, even though there are many solutions which might overcome the challenges, it is still hard to move to a new country and it takes some time to manage this, live happy and feel safe.  Whatever solutions you can find and even do, there will nothing better than home.

Task 1

The charts show the percentages of films shown in Britain and Australia by origin in year 2000. The second chart shows the cinema attendance in Britain and Australia throughout the period 1980 to 2000.

The highest percentage was 78% of films shown in Britain which came from the USA, while in Australia US films reached about 68%. British films shown were not as high as US films with only 20% in Britain and 59% in Australia. What we notice is there were no Australian films shown in Britain comparing to 10% shown in Australia.

In this chart British cinema attendance in 1980 started with 100 million and then declined dramatically to half this during the period from 1980 to 1982. Australian cinema attendance had the same decreasing percentage and it fall from 40 million to 20 million. The cinema attendance in Britain reached its highest point in 2000 with 150 million. During 1984 to 1990 the number of Australian’s attending cinemas was almost stable at 40 million. After that, the Australian attendance started to increase steadily throughout the years from 1990 to 2000.

In conclusion, US films are the most popular films shown in both Britain and Australia. We find out that there are no Australian films shown in Britain. In the last chart we see that the highest cinema attendance was in Britain with 150 million.
