                The line graph below shows the number of annual visits to Australia by overseas residents. The table below gives information on the country of origin where the visitors came from.in this graph, I will outline the information given in the table.

            First of all, the number of visits to Australia grew quite steadily through these years. According to the chart, in 1975 there were just around 10 million visits. However, just ten years after, this figure became 15 million. The number of visits to Australia grew to 23 million in 1995. In 2005, the number of visitors to Australia increased to around 30 million. Most visitors went there from Japan, there were 12.0 million.

            In conclusion, the number of visitors increased from one year to another. In 1975 there were 8.8 million, but in 2005 the number of people increased to 30.4 million.

Some people think that a sense of competition in children should be encouraged. Others believe that children who are taught to co-operate rather than compete become more useful adults. In this argument I will outline the views and I will give my opinion.

Many people argue that to be successful in today’s highly competitive world, individuals should have the skills which can grant competitive advantage over the masses. Admittedly, this idea is mostly true for the entrepreneurs who must have the determination and skills to pursue and realize their dreams. Further, in a sector such as advertising and marketing, the specialists generally need to put the welfare of their company in front of the masses and therefore choose competitive individuals over the good of all.

However, cooperative people are required to make any organization develop. Teaching children to be a part of the team gives them skills for their future work.

In conclusion, even though our children should have enough sense of competitiveness to better themselves, they need to be more encouraged to cooperate to be more beneficial to the society and to achieve greater accomplishments. After all, two hands can always make more noise than one hand.
