小作文（旧题）：The graph and table below show the percentage of population  in the world from 1950s to projections in 2040.

The table shows the percentage of people  aged 65 and above in different regions.

范文

The two types of graphs uncover the aging trends  globally and regionally.

The line graph reveals the global proportions of  seniors and children from 1950 to predictions in 2040. Since 1950, the figure  for seniors, starting at 5%, increased gradually while that for children,  beginning at 13%, decreased after an initial rise, and the two lines  intersect at 8% in 2016. From 2020 to 2040, it is projected that the elderly  will continue to grow more dramatically at 15% while the toddlers will drop  to 7%.

The table demonstrates the predicated percentage of the  elderly at 65 and above in 2020 and 2040 in six areas. For Asia, Latin  America, and North Africa, all of them will experience a double increase in  the aged from around 7.3% to about 16% during the period in question. By  contrast, North America, Sub-Sahara and Western Europe are expected to have a  slower increase in the elders.

In conclusion, though most pressing in Western Europe  and North America, the intensification of the aging phenomenon has already  become a global issue.

题目

People can eat a wide variety of food that can be grown in other  areas. As a result, people eat more food produced in other regions than local  food. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages.

范文

Interestingly, people in the contemporary society consume a wide  range of foods produced not mainly in their local areas but in other places.  The essay will expound whether the trend are generally positive or negative.

On the one side, diversified food consumption benefits health and  economy. Nutrients deficiencies can be averted since diets are no longer  limited by local production. For example, those who once suffered monotonous  fruits in the Frigid Zone now have access to various fruits abundant in the  tropics. More importantly, the exchanging nature of the practice encourages  every region to focus on producing one particular kind of food that best fits  its geological characteristics. Gradually, the global productivity will  improve and food costs will be brought down.

On the other side, the food globalization presents challenges to  transportation and local culture. Transported a long distance from other  regions or countries, seafood and meat such as octopus, langoustine, goose,  and pheasant might become stale, which might cause diarrhea, vomiting and  bromatoxism. Apart from these immediate harms, skilled traditional foods are  at a greater risk. For example, sugar-coated figurine, the Chinese  conventional street art of shaping sucrose and maltose into animals, flowers  and other figures, might diminish in front of more available supermarket  British Fisherman’s Friend and American Jawbreaker.

As far as I am concerned, benefits of the trend override its  shortcomings because more food varieties at a lower price can be enjoyed by  the wider public while accompanying problems can be resolved by discernible  individuals and a protective government.
