The chart compares the amounts of waste that were produced in six countries in the years 1980, 1990 and 2000.

In each of these years, the US produced more waste than Ireland, Japan, Korea, Poland and Portugal combined. It is also noticeable that Korea was the only country that managed to reduce its waste output by the year 2000.

Between 1980 and 2000, waste production in the US rose from 131 to 192 million tonnes, and rising trends were also seen in Japan, Poland and Portugal. Japan’s waste output increased from 28 to 53 million tonnes, while Poland and Portugal saw waste totals increase from 4 to 6.6 and from 2 to 5 million tonnes respectively.

The trends for Ireland and Korea were noticeably different from those described above. In Ireland, waste production increased more than eightfold, from only 0.6 million tonnes in 1980 to 5 million tonnes in 2000. Korea, by contrast, cut its waste output by 12 million tonnes between 1990 and 2000.

 Task 2:As the concern for health is growing, the food safety issues have triggered many debates in recent decades. Some people put an argument that shops are not permitted to sell any harmful food forward. I disagree with this opinion and will give supporting ideas from two (shop and food) aspects.

To shops, it is a reasonable right that big stores can sell any legal commodities, including those foods which are harmful to people' s health. The act of purchasing and selling is a business activity, which is irrelevant to public health and business responsibilities. Shops do not need to take the consequences for customs' personal choice since everybody is free to choose what they want to eat and drink.

Besides, some recognized bad foods are truly quite popular among the public; therefore, shops will lose considerable economic benefits if they stop selling these goods. These bad foods with low nutritional value like processed foods and canned drinks are usually taste good because the producers often add different kinds of additives into these foods and drinks in order to enhance their flavours. Also, some processed foods are even regarded as traditional food that people will have almost every day, pickle is a telling example. In addition, because of the lower price, some food like genetically modified products are attractive to general public, despite the fact that they may undermine people' s health.

In conclusion, it is unnecessary for shops to stop selling any harmful foods and drinks, not only because they have right to choose foods and drinks to sell but also because they will suffer huge financial loss from doing this.
