The Various Types of Cooking Oil Used in the Kitchen

The stimuli present a line graph on 'Global production of cooking oil (2000-2006)', a

bar graph on 'Fat content in commonly-used cooking oils' and an article excerpt on

the healthiness of oils. In general, palm oil is the most produced oil while the least

produced but healthiest option is sunflower oil.

According to the line graph, the highest world oil production is palm oil

increasing steadily from 25 million tonnes in 2000/01 to 35.5 million in

2005/06, beating soya oil by a small margin. Among the 5 types of oil, sunflower has

the lowest production stabilising at just under 10 million tonnes from 2000 to 2006.

Based on the bar graph, the healthiest oil is sunflower because it contains the

second lowest fat (12%) content and the highest healthy polyunsaturated fat (71%).

This is followed by other healthy oils with lower fat like canola (7%), olive (15%) and

soya (16%). The unhealthy oils are very high in fat and very low in polyunsaturated

fat such as palm oil (51%) and coconut oil (91%). The article states that we cannot

be sure about how healthy the oils we eat are because it may contain too much trans

fats leading to heart diseases and cancer.

In conclusion, coconut and palm oil should be avoided because of the high fat

content while the healthiest oils are sunflower, canola, olive and soya.

The bar chart shows whether students at a Malaysian university rated

different subjects as easy, moderately difficult or difficult.

The subject which was most commonly rated as difficult was

maths, by 70% of students. Only 20% saw it as easy. Physics was also

largely judged to be a difficult or moderately difficult subject. Only 25% of

students viewed it as easy. By contrast, chemistry was regarded as easy by

a massive 70% of students.

As far as language subjects are concerned, languages in

general were seen as easy by 40% of students. This percentage dropped to

20% for oriental languages. African languages, however, were viewed as

easy by 60% of students. Next, Art was judged to be an easy subject by

only 30% of students and like Physics, 50% rated it as difficult.

In conclusion, there seems to be no clear correspondence between the

type of subject and whether it was generally rated as easy or difficult.
