TED Talk - How to talk like a native Hello everyone :) I would like to share with you this ted talk I found really interesting!

Chart exercise In the present bar chart is possible to observe and compare the variations in the amount of people who did regural phisycal activity in 2010. The chart divides the population, from 15 years old to over 60 – in age groups (on the horizontal line) and shows the percetages of people doing phisycal exercise – gray for men and black for women – on the vertical line. The bar chart shows really differet behaviours in men and women. Generally, women have a higher percentage of people doing regular activity, especially between 35 and 64 years old: the peak is located in the 45 to 54 group, with a percentage of 53.3; the woman’s percentage, indeed, is never lower than 47%. On the other hand, men have a higher percentage in the youngest group (15 to 24) and they have almost the same percentage of women in the oldest group (65 and over). However, it can be observed thet both men and women spend some time in phisycal activity, as the lower percentage (39.5) is still representing a good portion of people.

IELTS Writing Exercise Hello everyone :) I'm studying for and IELTS test and I'm practising with the writing tasks, so I thought to write it here so may somebody can correct it! I will appreciate any help :) The topic was "Most people are not interested in how their food has benn producted. They only care about how much it costs. How true is this statement? What influnces people when they buy?" In the moment of buying food, most people are interested just in what they see. For this reason packaging and price are the first attractive information that a costumere meets. Firts of all, in supermarkets food is positioned in a specific way, which aims to influence people choices: for instance, some products of large consume (like milk or eggs) are often placed in the middle of the aisle, so that who needs them (almost everyone) are forced to walk through shelvs full of different products they don’t need, but that they could actually desire after have seen them: marketing, after all, is based more on desires than on needs. In this, food packaging plays a huge role, attracting or not people who walk near them. On the other hand, price can be a way to choose between two similar products, so that people (expecially if they have a low budget) will be keen to buy the one that costs less, also if this mean have a little less quality. In this horizon, often people forget to check origins ad ingredients of what they buy, or they don’t care about this. However, personally I think that food – expecially the fresh one, like fruits and vegetables, ad also meat – deserves more attention, for different reason: the first one, is related with health. Some products contain many chemical adds and artificial colours, others are not totally eadible (for instance, often oranges and lemons have not edible peel – which is used in cakes – due to the chemical they are growth with). The second is an ethic one: every State has its own laws about meat animal treatment, and in some place this animals can be trated badly or feed with antibiotics; also for eggs, they can be from battery chickens who had never the chance to walk on the grass, or from groung-raised chickens, who have more freedom in their lives. I think it’s right for everyone to know how what they eat is arrived on their table, for their health and for their ethical ideas, because “we are what we eat” after all. I'll be really grateful to anyone who will correct this :)
