38.1 Nowadays computer games are very popular among young people. The aim of the project I am currently working on is to find out why computer games are popular among teenagers in Zetland. As part of my project, I have found and analyzed some relevant data presented in the table.

According to the data, there is quite a wide range of reasons why younger generation is fond of video games. It is clear that looking for entertainment is at the top of the table, 46% of the respondents named it. Making new friends is also quite popular answer with 21%, whereas improving mental skills, developing hand-eye coordination and seeking relaxation appear to be the least popular reasons to play computer games.

It is worth mentioning that entertainment is two times more important for the adolescents than their self-development, such as improving mental skills and hand-eye coordination. Obviously, teenagers play computer games in their free time and they just want to have fun.

One problem that is usually associated with playing video games is a lot of violence they consume. So that young people may become aggressive gaming computer. One solution to this problem is to limit the access to these games for teenagers by law.

In conclusion, I think that computer games play an important role in teenagers’ life. All the more, there are different kinds of educational games. (228 words)

38.2 Recent studies show that teenagers think about taking a part-time job more often nowadays. The aim of the project I am currently working on is to find out why young people take a part-time job in Zetland. As part of my project, I have found and analyzed some relevant data presented in the diagram.

According to the data, there is quite a wide range of reasons what can motivate adolescents to spend their free time on working. It is clear that getting pocket money is the most popular answer, 40% of the respondents named it. Also, nearly a quarter of the teenagers (24%) start working in order to get work experience. At the same time, younger generation is not very interested in testing themselves.

It is worth mentioning that the teenagers think about acquiring new skills as well as learning more about different jobs almost three times less often than about pocket money they could get. Obviously, the adolescents in general do not consider their part-time job to become a way to start a career.

One problem can arise with a part-time job is that teenagers usually perform poorly at school. The main reason is that the adolescents cannot manage their time well, as a result they have not enough time to do their homework. One solution to this problem is to organize special centres where professionals help teenage workers with time management to be sure they can be successful in all this.

In conclusion, I firmly believe that a part-time job plays an important role in teenagers’ life. All the more, younger generation could get a great experience doing it. (271 words)

2-3 предложения

I can
identify two main features of the statistics presented in the table. 
The first one is that
the majority of teenagers cited adventure
stories as their favourite book genre, making this kind of books most popular
among young people. And the second key feature is that only 17.6 per
cent of teenagers reported enjoying reading romances, putting this genre at
the bottom of the table.

PARA 3: make
1–2 comparisons where relevant

предложения

It is also worth mentioning that the
number of teenagers enjoying detective novels and books about war and spies
(55,3%)  is only slightly lower than the number of teenagers enjoying
adventure stories (55,4%).

PARA 4: outline

    3
предложения

In my opinion, the statistics in the table reveal an important
problem.
We can see that teenagers are not interested in
biographies and are therefore missing out on a great amount of wisdom
contained in these books. I think that in order to solve this problem biographies
should be included in the school curriculum.

1 ПРИМЕР:

According to the data, teenagers in
Zetland
 have quite a wide range of tastes when
it comes to
genres of literature. 1) The vast majority of the
respondents
enjoy reading adventure and detective stories as well as
books about war and spies. 2) Sports stories are also quite popular with
teenage readers in Zetland, 3) whereas romantic novels appear to be
the least popular
book genre.

2 пример:

From
the table of data, the most significant items are as follows
. In the first
section 81% of the students regularly read academic books» while
44% regularly read academic journals. Nothing else is read regularly or often
by 40% or more of the students. The following comments can be made about
the reading of newspapers, magazines and fiction. 75% sometimes read regional
or local newspapers, 69% sometimes read books of fiction, 62% sometimes read
general magazines, and 56% sometimes read national daily newspapers. On the
other hand
, 37% never read Sunday newspapers and 31% never read fiction. In
the second section, not surprisingly, 100% read news about their own
country in newspapers and 56% read this first. 94% read international news,

25% read this
first. 81% read about Britain and look at radio and TV informa­tion. The
only other item that is usually read by more than 50% of the students is
current
affairs (read by 56%).

3 пример:

Looking at the details, the most popular book genre is adventure with
55,4%
reading this type of literature which means that teenagers are
keen on dynamic plots and unexpected twists. On the contrary, the
least popular
genre is romance as a little bit less than a
fifth of teenagers read it.

4 пример

As we can see, most people use their smartphones to send and receive
emails and to make phone calls – 79% and 78% respectively. On
the contrary
, the least popular purpose for using smartphones is
paying for purchases, which is quite surprising given that more and more
people prefer mobile payment services like Apple Pay to credit cards and cash.

5 пример:

According to the data, the
majority of
teenagers in Zetland
choose to spend their free time surfing the Internet and playing computer games
(32% and 29% respectively). Watching films and listening to music are
in the third place with 19%.

6 пример:

To begin with, one of the
most prominent features of the data provided in the chart is that
the most frequently visited network is Facebook, which
is followed by
YouTube. The figures are 63% and 61% respectively. Meanwhile,
the least
popular choice is Snapchat which stands at 13 %.

teenagers cited adventure stories as their favourite book genre, making this
kind of books most popular among young people. And the second key feature is
that
only 17.6 per cent of teenagers reported enjoying reading romances,

1 ПРИМЕР:

Surprisingly, only 27.2% and 17.6% of
those surveyed
enjoy reading animal stories and romance. By contrast,
adventure novels are favoured by a much higher proportion of the respondents
(55.4%, to be exact), followed closely by detective, war and spy stories
at 55.3% The percentage of those who like reading sports stories is
only slightly lower, making up 49.2%.

2 пример:

According to the data in
the table
, sports stories appear
to be
more popular than animal stories, as there are 49.2% of
teenagers reading sports stories, which is around twice as many as the figure for
animal stories. Another important thing to mention is that detective,
spy and war stories are almost as popular as adventure stories – the
difference between them is
0,1%. Both genres are real page-turners,
and this may be the key to such popularity.

3 пример:

According to the data in
the table,
people also use their
smartphones for surfing the Internet, and it is 10 percent more popular than
playing games. It demonstrates that most people are aimed at
looking for necessary data for their work or studies rather than wasting time
on useless activities.

4 пример:

Unsurprisingly, in this world of technology, only 11% of the
respondents
voted for going for a walk. In addition, the figure
for those who
voted for sports activities in the gym is even 2% lower.

5 пример:

Apart from that, comparing
average in
popularity networks, we
can conclude that WhatsApp is far more popular than Twitter. The
former comprises 48% while the latter makes up only
23%.

6 пример:

It is also
worth mentioning that
the
number of teenagers enjoying detective novels and books about war and spies
(55,3%)  is only slightly lower than the number of teenagers
enjoying adventure stories (55,4%).

1 ПРИМЕР:

One  difficulty  that  struggling readers  often have  / (или that teenage readers often face) is lack of
motivation to read
. It is a serious problem that affects the
development of comprehension skills and overall academic performance.

2 ПРИМЕР:

One problem that is nowadays associated with reading is a growing decline
in
book-reading culture. Indeed reading books seems to be
losing its popularity with people of all ages, including teenagers.

3 ПРИМЕР:

The data indicate that although modern teenagers read a lot, they tend to avoid choosing
romantic novels and animal stories. I suppose this is because
today’s adolescents are too pragmatic, not caring and compassionate enough. One
solution to this problem
is
for parents and teachers to raise
teenagers’ awareness of the importance of developing empathy and encourage them
to read and discuss romance and animal stories. The best way to do it
is to
find out what puts young people off choosing these genres and try
to
connect reading to their interests.

4 ПРИМЕР:

Although teenagers in Zetland seem
to
be interested in reading, globally, young people are reading fewer books
than before. The problem is that today’s teenagers get easily
discouraged by long and challenging texts. As a result, they feel
frustrated and lose motivation to read, which affects the development of
their comprehension skills and overall academic performance. The best
solution to this problem is to
let teenagers choose their reading for
themselves  and encourage them to read different texts, not only books.

5 пример

One problem that can be
connected with
reading is that
nowadays reading is losing its popularity among teenagers, and this may
result in
poor imagination and a limited vocabulary range. However,
there is a possible solution to this problem.
School teachers should
stimulate
teenagers’ interest in various book genres by organising
special discussion clubs and drama lessons.

6 пример

As far as I can see, using smartphones can cause several problems.
The most serious one is that people become too dependent on their
smartphones. I believe that reducing time spent on the phone is the
best solution to this problem
. For example, people should
communicate face to face more often instead of sending emails because
it is faster and does not result in losing communication skills.

7 пример

As one can see in the chart, passive free-time activities, surfing
the net and playing computer games, are the most popular among teenagers from
Zetland. Obviously, this problem is widespread and a cause of concerns in
society because it may lead
to weight gain. To solve this issue,
parents should control their teenage children’s screen time.

8 пример

The data given in the bar chart reveal that great number of people
are engaged in social network activities. Obviously, this might have an
adverse impact on their involvement in various kinds of leisure activities,
including active recreation. I believe that one of the possible solutions to
the issue of the
reduction of the amount of time people spend on leisure
activities in favour of visiting social networks can be making an
informed decision by the person himself to limit the time spent online and take
up a new exciting hobby.

9 пример

One
problem that can be deduced from the data is that
none of the teenagers mentioned classic literature, and
this may result in lack of
emotional and cultural experience. However,
there is a possible solution to this problem
. Schools should organise
drama clubs in order to draw teenagers’ attention to classic literature and awaken
their interest.

10
пример

In my opinion, the statistics in the table reveal an important
problem.
We can see
that
teenagers are not interested in biographies and are therefore missing
out on a great amount of wisdom contained in these books. I think that in
order to solve this problem
biographies should be included in the school
curriculum.

vocabulary, improves their memory and develops imagination.

part of our life because
they provide us with a wide range of
opportunities. Due to smartphones people can find necessary
information quickly and are able to communicate with people wherever
they are and by various means.

ages. Not only is reading fun and enjoyable, but it also allows us to
learn about any subject and improve our analytical and creative skills. 

ШАБЛОНЫ

1. Recent studies show that teenagers’ reading habits have changed. To
find out more about it, I have found some information on what literary genres
are popular with teenagers living in Zetland. As part of my project, I have
analyzed these data and come across some interesting findings.

 According to the data, teenagers in Zetland have
quite a wide range of tastes when it comes to genres of literature. The vast
majority of the respondents enjoy reading adventure and detective stories as
well as books about war and spies. Sports stories are also quite popular with
teenage readers in Zetland whereas romantic novels are the least popular book
genre.

Surprisingly, only 27.2% and 17.6% of those surveyed
like reading animal stories and romance. By contrast, adventure novels are
favoured by a much higher proportion of the respondents (55.4%, to be exact),
followed closely by detective, war and spy stories at 55.3% The percentage of
those who enjoy reading sports stories is only slightly lower, making up 49.2%.

 Although teenagers in Zetland seem to be interested
in reading, globally, young people are reading fewer books than before. The
problem is that today’s teenagers get easily discouraged by long and
challenging texts. As a result, they feel frustrated and lose motivation to
read, which affects the development of their comprehension skills and academic
performance. The best solution to this problem is to let teenagers choose their
reading for themselves  and encourage them to
read not only books but a variety of texts.  
/
или to read on a regular basis.

In conclusion, I firmly believe that despite some
problems associated with reading, it is obviously very important for teenagers
to regularly read different texts (and  books
of different genres).

Looking at the
details,
the most
popular book genre is adventure with 55,4% reading this type of
literature which means that teenagers are keen on dynamic plots
and unexpected twists. On the contrary, the least popular genre is
romance as a little bit less than a fifth of teenagers read it.

According to the data
in the table
, sports
stories appear to be more popular than animal stories, as there
are 49.2% of teenagers reading sports stories, which is around twice as
many as the figure for animal stories. Another important thing to mention is
that
detective, spy and war stories are almost as popular as
adventure stories – the difference between them is 0,1%. Both genres are
real page-turners, and this may be the key to such popularity.

several key features of the
results of the poll.
Или In this project I am going to outline several key features of the results
of the
poll.

As we can see, most people use their smartphones to
send and receive emails and to make phone calls – 79% and 78% respectively.
On the contrary, the least popular purpose for using smartphones is
paying for purchases, which is quite surprising given that more and more people
prefer mobile payment services like Apple Pay to credit cards and cash.

As far as I can see, using smartphones can cause
several problems
. The most serious one is that people become too
dependent on their smartphones. I believe that reducing time spent on

Imagine that you are doing a project on what teenagers in Zetland use social networks for. You have found some data on the subject-the results of the opinion polls (see the diagram  below)

Comment on the data in the table and give your opinion on the subject of the project.

social networks

Write 200-250 words

Use the following plan:

  • make an opening statement on the subject of the project
  • select and report 2-3 facts
  • make 1-2 comparisons where relevant
  • outline a problem that can arise  with using social networks and suggest a way of solving it
  • conclude by giving your opinion on the role of social networks in our life.

Recent studies show that social networks are in demand nowadays, especially among teenagers. To learn more about it, I have found some information on what teenagers in Zetland use social networks for. As a part of my project, I have analyzed some data and come across some interesting findings.

According to the data presented in the diagram, youngsters have a wide range opinion when it comes to the usage of social networks. The majority of the respondents enjoy listening to music  (52%) whereas writing a blog is the least popular choice (4%). Finding interesting information is also quite popular as well as watching films, making up 11% and 10 of the respondents respectively.

It is noticeable that there is a substantial difference between the most popular and the least popular choice of usage of social networks: predictably listening to music is at 13 times more popular than writing a blog. The difference between figure for chatting with friends and finding interesting information is also considerable. It is less than 15% which is surprising because both of these activities are favoured by adolescents.

The data seem to indicate that teenagers in Zetland like using social network as almost all the people in the world. The problem is that today’s adolescents have become addicted to different Internet sites. As a result, teenagers become antisocial and almost not to go out. The best solution is to minimize the usage of the Internet by setting up a special time- tracking system.

In conclusion, I firmly believe that the role of social networks is hard to overestimate now. They have a leadership role in our daily lives and people cannot imagine their existence without them.
