WRITING TASK 1 (p53)

The following description involves a chart abundant with information about Fish and meat consumption in Europe along the years 1979-2004.

Due to the graph, in 1979 there used to be a substantial demand for beef and lamb. Likewise the consumption of fish had its high peak and was estimated to have reached 60 grams by this year.

Yet an interesting trend appears with 1982, when the consumption of chickens starts soaring dramatically, just unlike for the other kinds of meat. Since this point in time we can easily notice the downward tendency for beef, lamb and fish, while chicken shows a fluctuating, yet undoubtedly promising rise of their consumption indications, leading to a high peak between 1999 and 2004.

Although fish has shown a slight rise on the chart it preferably maintained the level and never has grown up higher than 50 grams per person per week. Just unlike the weekly consumption of chicken, which rockets high to about 250 grams, distinctly surpassing every other category.

The popularity of beef has reached its highest point in 1983, however, four years later the trend was mainly falling, loosing its prime position among the other kinds of meat for the first time in 1988 and again, irretrievably in 1990.
