The bar chart illustrates the number of male and female adults learning different evening courses at an adult training centre in 2016, and the pie chart provides details about the proportion of students by age groups.
Based on the bar chart, language was the most popular subject among women, with twice as many females (40) as males (20) learning this course. This was true of drama, attended by 20 women and 10 men. Around 25 men chose painting, while 30 women studied the same subject. By contrast, sculpture was the only subject where male learners outnumbered females (10 versus 5).
According to the pie chart, the given courses were dominantly attended by people aged 50 or over, accounting for 42%. This was followed by 40-49s at around a quarter. The percentage for 30-39s and 20-29s was similar, representing 16% and 11% respective-ly. Learners under 20 constituted only 5%.

For example, melting of polar ice caps and melting glaciers caused by higher temperatures will conse-quently result in rising sea level, which means hundreds of millions of people living in low-lying areas will be removed. The cost of settling the affected population is inestimably huge. Research also indicates that glacier retreat will pose serious threats to human civilisation, which is a heavier price to pay.
Second, the extensive impacts of global warming make it more real-istic to prevent it than to find the way out. While individual impacts such as droughts, sand storm, floods, heat waves, and hurricanes seem possible for us to address, there are more serious consequences: ex-treme weather sharply reduce habitats of already endangered species and the entire food chain in some area is being affected. Some experts predict that over one million species could become extinct by the mid-dle of this century. Such severe consequences, I believe, are beyond human ability to reverse.
Although some may contend that there has not yet been any scien-tific consensus on the effects of climate change, I hold that the rising sea level, extreme we
