__**A REPORT- EVALUATING DATA**__ -Pag 26.D

The chart presents the percentage of people who had voted //by ages// for parliamentary elections in 1983 and in 2001.

As can be seen there were more people who voted in 1983 than in 2001.The progress in 2001 was continuous, the percentage increased with the age. These results could be due to two facts: there were more elder people in 2001 than in 1983 and perhaps older you are, more interested in elections you are.

Moreover, there was a significant fell in votes by young people between 1983 and 2001: the votes of people between 18 and 34suffered a drop of 25% ,it´s mean that just a little more than halved the population voted in 2001.However, there were more people with 65 years old or more who voted in 2001 than in 1983, almost four out of five voted.

To sum, although the votes by elder people in 2001 rose, the statistic show that there had been a drop in the number of votes for UK parliamentary elections between 1983 and 2001.

 * THE SEVEN AGES OF MAN**

I have watched all links about “The seven ages of Man “by Shakespeare and the one I prefer is the third one. It stars like a TV program name “Reading Rainbow” and the host //Nate// try to explain the poem about the 7 ages of man reading and staging each age: singing, dressing up etc. I had really fun with this video.

With regard to the poem of Shakespeare I’m agree with this classification of the life time but it’s too general, it ’s one way of looking at things but I think there are also other important characteristics in the different stage of life. For example, the fourth age: the soldier. I don’t really know when people feel like that (between thirty and forty years, perhaps?) and above all I don’t really see it like that myself.

We can not forget that this poem was written late sixteenth century so it’s normal human life had changed, besides in my opinion it was written thinking of men’s life. The stages of women’s life are differents, especially if they have children. This fact scars them for life so it’s essential to include a woman’s stage when she becomes a mother or even a grandmother.

Anyway I have to admit that this monologue part of a comedy called “As you like it” is one of the most famous and quoted speeches. In addition, the play (the comedy) has been adapted for radio, film and musical theatre and remains a favorite among audiences.

On the other hand, this monologue is part of a comedy called “As you like it”, and it is one of the most famous and frequently quoted speeches.

Hello Anne,

Your situation must be difficult, I feel sorry for you. I know it’s not a consolation but something similar happened to a lot of people nowadays: any mistake is used to discharge people without paying the compensation so don’t feel so guilty. People can commit an error and it’s not fair to be fired for that reason. They would have made an evaluation of all your work in the company.

Anyway, about your question: what answer to give when interviewers asked why you left your last job, you can lie. It’s not the best way but this information it isn’t so useful for them. You could said you were fired but they didn’t explain you why, and if they ask you why do you think they were fired you, you could tell them that maybe you made something they didn’t like it.

This time, while you are looking for a new job I advise you to learn languages and try to improve your skills through formation, books etc. Besides, it could be helpful if you widen the search, applying for different jobs (even if you don’t have experience but you think you could learn easily) and cities (even abroad).

Good luck and try to be positive and take advantages of this “forced- holidays”.
