Study Figs 7A and 7B (page 20), which show information about areas in Italy which attract tourists. [Figure 7A] is a map of Italy showing cities (Aosta, Venice, Rimini, Florence, Rome, Naples, Palermo), mountain ranges (indicated by a symbol), and volcanoes (indicated by a symbol). It includes a scale bar (0-200 km) and a north arrow. [Figure 7B] presents two climate graphs, one for Palermo and one for Aosta. Each graph has 'months' (JFMAMJJASOND) on the x-axis, 'rainfall (mm)' (0-80) on the left y-axis, and 'temperature (°C)' (-10 to 30) on the right y-axis. Rainfall is shown by bar graphs and temperature by a line graph. The key for Fig. 7B indicates 'temperature' by a line and 'rainfall' by bars. Study Fig. 8, which shows three advantages of tourism for local people. [Figure 8] illustrates three advantages of tourism with text boxes: 'jobs created', 'investment in airports and roads', and 'more food crops sold'. These are accompanied by illustrative cartoons.
