tl cqn rry Adi.rt-Er t {.rEy I atqfr F-.rlbd r hdo,.r l' r", l ET The flowcharts compare the three approaches of recruiting employees for a particular comPany The first method of finding a suitable person for the company is to publish announcements for relevant jobs Qualified workers would be added to the shortlis! and then enter the next step of being interviewed by HR or managers Those who are eligible get the iob in the end The second method is to place recruitment adverts in the papers Similarly, the names of suitable applicants could be seen on the shortlist , and these applicants are divided into two groupsi the first would be interviewed directly whereas the second group would have to sit for the exam As a result, candidates who pass the exam would get the job they want as well as those who passed the interview Also, companies would use recruitment agencies for the staf6ng strategy The agencies not only cooperate with headhunters, but also advertise the recruitment The following steps are similar to the first method Overall, these three approaches are quite simple and similar in order to find qualified employees for the company, but the first one may save more time and money 154 155 The following are two filter systems Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant, l{rite at least 150 words 6.aa t

two types of filter systems It is clear from the graph that the basic principal of purifying water in both systems is filtration In the first system there is a 200 litre water container which has an inlet on the top through which dirty water is sent in The top one third has sand to filter the water Below the sand are tiny stones and below the layer of stones are pipes with holes After passing through the three layers the water which comes out is pure and fit for drinking The second system is a bit more advanced The untreated water is stored in a container which has a tap and from that container the water is sent to another container with sand After being filtered through the sand the water is again stored in another container with a tap from which the water is finally used for household PurPos€s So, it can be seen that water can be purified for household use using a very simple and inexpensive method of filtration 155 155 The graphs below show the Percentage of household energy used and the amount of greenhouse gases produced in Australia Summarise the information making comparisons where relevant The percentage ofhousehold energ/usage in Australia Cooldtr& s% Stand

the energy consumPtion for various domestic areas with the emission of greenhouse gases through these sources in Australia- The most striking feature of the graph is that a fitrJ: (20%) of energy is used for heating and cooling whereas the greenhouse gas emission through this is about two fifths (38%) which is just about double Greenhouse gas emissions because of water heating is 25/, which is also slightly more than the usage at 23% The least amount of energy is used for cooking and for stand-by purPoses 5% energy is used for each of these two PurPoses The emission of greenhouse gases is also approximately similar from both these sources at and,3% respectively Approximately a tenth of the energy is used for lighting and a similar amount for refrigeration However, these two areas are the most energy efficient as the greenhouse gas emission through bolh is 7'/ Approximately a quarter of the energy is used for other appliances and the greenhouse gas emission through these is only 15% which is slightly over a fifth Overall it can be seen that heating and cooling contribute the most to global warming whereas cooking and standby appliances contribute the least 156 1.57 The graph

from the graph that the spending on housing and transport increased over a period of two decades whereas the expenditure on all other things decreased or remained the same The most striking difference is seen in the money spent on transport which grew almost threefold (11% to 31%) from 1987 to 2007 The expenditure on housing also increased from 15% to 3ii|% which is also a very significant change It is interesting to note that the expenditure on fuel and power decreased slightly from 78/o to 15% There was a considerable decrease in the spending on tobacco from 7% to 2% which is obviously a good thing The weekly spending on food also halved fuom 70% to 5% However, the spending on other goods and services not mentioned in the graph remained stable at 16% Overall, housing and transport became costlier over the period and so people had to spend more on them L57 The first chart below shows the value of goods that Australia imported from China and those exP orted to China from Auskalia

Australia imported more things from China than it exported' Australia imported goods worth $20 billion in 1998 The imports increased steadily and reached M0 billion by 2006 In contrast, the exports to China were worth 10 billion dollars in 1998, but the exports grew rapidly and reached $30 billion dollars by 2006 billion dollars worth of comPuters and fumiture each were imported from China $4 billion of clothes were imported ftom China Tel-ecommunication equipment imports accounted for $3 billion The least imports were of toys and sports equiPment, which were of the value of $2 billion' In 2003, approximately $5 ^ imports of all things increased, except for clothes, which remained the same There was a slight increase of $1 million in the import of computers and fumiture The greatest change can be seen in the import of toys/ sport equipment and ielecommunications equipment, which grew from $2 and $3 billion in 2(x)3 to $7 and $8 billion respectively in 2004 ln 2004, Overall, toys/sports and telecommunication equipment saw a huge surge in imPorts to Australia from China in iust one year 158 159 The graph below shows the percentage of self employed workers of the total

tleir own work, out of all employed people in five countries, in 199g and 200g It is manifest from the graph that the Turks and Greeks were more interested in entrepreneurship than the Russians, Slovakians and the Czechs The percentage of self-employed people from the Russian Repubric, slovakia and the Czech Republic was 5%,7% and 71% respectively, in 199g However, in just a decade the percentage rose in all three countries and reached z%, 12% and 14/o respectively, by 2008 The people of Greece and Turkey doing own business were 43% and, 56,i respectively, but decreased to 35% and 39% respectively by 200g overall, it is interesting to see that although the percentage of entrepreneurs in the Russian Republic, slovakia and the Czech Republic were much lesser than those in Greece and rurkep their interest in doing their own work grew with time whereas, the people of Greece and rurkey were much more who were running their own business, but their interest in doing their own work dwindled with time 159 160 The table below gives infonnation about the weekly consumption of ordinary milk and butter, and high and low fat alternatives of milk and butter among different age Broups
