Cambridge or Kendal? task
Cambridge or Kendal? task
Mr and Mrs Khan have to decide whether to work at the Cambridge or Kendal
branch of the same company.
Neither of them has been to either place before.
Their salaries will be the same wherever they work, so they have decided to
make their decision partly based on the climate of the two places.
Mrs Khan likes sunny weather, and Mr Khan enjoys warm weather. Mrs Khan is
a keen skier, and Mr Khan likes to grow his own fruit and vegetables.
Use the climate data to present an argument for either Kendal or Cambridge as a
place to live. Mr and Mrs Khan will be impressed by appropriate use of facts and
figures, graphs and charts.
