The graphs illustrate people performances through buying three types of music

including Pop, Rock and Classic. In addition, people are categorized by age and

sex factors.

According to the graphs, while 25-34- year- old people are the most important

advocators of Pop and Rock music, the aged prefer to listen to the classical one.

However, Pop and Rock music are teenagers and 35-44-year-old people favorite

and Classical music is less popular for them, Aas a matter of fact less than 5% of

these groups buy such music. Interestingly, youngsters, who are 25-34, purchase

all kind of music, but all the same, they are interested in Pop and Rock twice as

much as Classical type.

In terms of gender, men like music more than women. Nevertheless, while almost

25% of men prefer to listen to the Rock and Pop, 15% of women like to listen to

those. Surprisingly, both groups are not interested in Classical type and only less

than 10% of males and females purchase that.

In sum, based on graphs data, different genders of people like to listen to various

types of music in their different chapters of life. 25-35-year- old people consist

almost 30% of Pop and Rock music customers and the aged are the important

clients of Classical music, which is disfavored by two groups of 16-24 and 35-44.

Additionally, men are more interested in music than women. However, both

groups would rather Pop and Rock than Classical type.

Task 2:

Some employers reward members of staff for their exceptional contribution to the companyby giving them extra money. This practice can act as an incentive for some but may also havea negative impact on others.

To what extent is this style of management effective?Are there better ways of encouraging employees to work hard?

Business success is a subject about which employers are concerned these days. In

terms of this matter, employers go to the extra mile to motivate employees and

allocate some rewards, like money, to the best one. Notwithstanding employers

believe it is the best impetus, it has some disadvantages in my estimation. Getting

disappointed and losing confidence are some of its demerits which influence other

employees. However, there are other kinds of reward motivating people as well.

Getting disappointed is the first demerit of paying money to someone as a reward.

There is no doubt that a team-work works jointly. Hence, when a person is chosen

for extra money, others assume that they are disparaged and no one understands

their attempts. In such circumstances, they are reluctant to continue their work

eagerly. However, if the reason of allocating extra money to someone is explicit,

others will perceive their own weakness and will admire their honorable colleague.

Another drawback of some encouragements like money is losing confidence. It

does not take much common sense to find out a disappointed person doesn’t enjoy

enough confidence to surmount problems. Based on immense explorations in the

domain of psychology, 70% of employees who are working gloomily can’t make a

correct decision, due to lack of confidence and self esteem. They are always

contemplating whether their boss likes their decision or suggestion or not!

Beside paying excess money as a reward, there are other kinds of encouragement

which are less detrimental to others’ spirit. Granting promotion is one of the

multitude solutions which can act as an incentive for some people. Not only does it

represent the best employee’s competence, but also it provides circumstances

which the best can guide others!

All in all, these days, companies’ developments have haunted employers dreams.

Thus, they spare no effort to courage employees to do their best and they pay

money as reward. Unfortunately, these kinds of reward have reverse impact-

including getting disappointed and losing confidence- on others. As I stood before,

there are various kinds of rewards such as granting promotion. These kinds of

award enjoy less negative impact and courage others as well.
