But in many cases, it has a special significance—especially in February. February is American Heart Month, when people are encouraged to focus on their cardiovascular health. The American Heart Association uses red as the color to raise awareness for their work, encouraging people to wear that color in support. And the first Friday in February is National Wear Red Day, drawing even more attention to heart health. So going red with your porch light is a noticeable way for your house to wear red, too. Anyone can have heart issues of course, but there’s a special focus on women, and the Go Red for Women initiative seeks to empower women to take charge of their heart health. Landmarks, including the Seattle Great Wheel and iconic Niagara Falls, have been spotlighted in red to mark the month. So changing a bulb in your porch light is just another way to show how much this issue matt
Task 1: The two charts give information about the gender and number of athletes who have entered the Games since they started The bar chart illustrates the number of men and women entering the Games, whereas the line graph shows the number of participants It is evident from the bar chart that, until 2012, there were always significantly more men entering the Games than women In 1924 and 1952, there were hardly any women entering the Games, yet in 1952 there were over 4,000 male participants In 2012, however, the number of female athletes rose significantly to nearly 5,000, only approximately 1,000 lower than male participants The line graph shows a similar trend, with the number of participants increasing throughout the century The most significant increase occurred between 1984 and 2012 when the number of athletes rose from just over 6,000 to over 10,000 in 2012 To summarise, therefore, since 1924 the number of athletes entering the Olympic Games, has increased dramatically This is particularly the case for women, who are now represented in nearly the same numbers as male participants Task 2: The number of students studying has been increasing in recent years It is often considered that this trend has a positive impact on students and the countries involved First and foremost, studying abroad exposes students to different cultures and backgrounds Learning other’s cultures and backgrounds is vital and beneficial as it deepens an individual’s knowledge base Likewise, sometimes it helps students who study abroad tend to perform better than those who study locally Thus, it is safe to say that studying abroad can help students to learn about new cultures and backgrounds However, having many overseas students in a country may increase the competitive rate of getting accepted into local universities This may have a vnegative impact on local students as it might be harder to be accepted by local universities and would be exceptionally tough to get into prestigious universities As an illustration, it is believed that 40% of candidates who are accepted into local universities are normally overseas students, leaving only 60% of the native students Therefore, local students may be at a disadvantage if this trend continues In a nutshell, it seems to me that the advantages outweigh the drawbacks, and having more overseas students have a positive impact on students and the countries involved as overseas students can broaden their horizons and have access to various cultures which may be of good use later in their life
