Recent studies show that teenagers’ reading habits have changed. To find out more about it, I have collected 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.
2.
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 animal stories and romantic novels appear to be far less
popular.
3.
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%.
4.
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 on a regular basis.
5.
In conclusion, I firmly believe that despite some problems associated with reading, it is obviously very important for teenagers to
regularly read different texts .

A project on what traditional holiday is considered the most important in Zetland.

Imagine that you are doing a project on what traditional holiday is considered the most important in Zetland. 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.

Write 200-250 words

Use the following plan:

Recent studies show that people tend to celebrate traditional holidays more often. For my project, I have found some information about humans in Zetland. The data includes the results of the opinion polls illustrating what traditional holiday is the most essential for people. In this essay I am going to analyze this information and express my own opinion on the importance of celebrating traditional holidays in families.

As can be seen from the diagram, the holiday like National Day tops the list, standing at 45% whereas Mother’s Day ranks last in the diagram with only 6 %. The other three categories include The New Year (20%), Christmas (15%) and Easter (14%)

There is a substantial difference between the most and the least important holiday for people. The number of humans who enjoy celebrating National Day is almost at 8 times more than ones who like Mother’s Day. This can be explained by fact that all the country celebrates National Day and it is more significant for people.

Nowadays celebrating traditional holidays may be really expensive as not all people can afford to make a party or dinner. The best solution is to celebrate traditional holidays among loved humans and relatives who can help with the organization or even bring food and decorations.

In conclusion, I firmly believe that celebrating traditional holiday in families is very important. Doing it, closest people unite with each other and conserve the families’ traditions together.

As can be seen from the table, the way like not eating junk food tops the list, standing at 42%, whereas doing morning exercises ranks last in the table with only 2%. Some Zetlanders also prefer having a balanced diet (24%). The other two approaches include doing sport (22%) and getting to bed early (10%).

There is a substantial difference between the most and the least popular way of stay healthy. The number of humans who prefer not to eat junk food is at 40% more than ones who enjoy doing morning exercises. This can be explained by the fact that humans are too lazy to get up early in the morning and doing different exercises.

The problem that can arise with some approaches to staying healthy is the lack of money on healthy food and fresh fruit and vegetables. The best solution is to find vitamins in our helpful products or to grow something by yourself.

In conclusion, I firmly believe that staying healthy is essential in people’s lives because it is really useful for bones, heart, brain and the body at all.

Listening to music is also quite popular among people in Zetland, making up 26% of the respondents respectively.

It is noticeable that there is a substantial difference between the most and the least favored ways of studying foreign languages, Attending a course or working with a tutor is at 50 times more popular than writing a penpal in a foreign language.

It is less than 5% which is surprising because both of these approaches are not favored by humans in Zetland.

How teenagers in zetland spend their summer holidays

What is the purpose of the article?

1) To give advice on eating healthy food on campus.

2) To convince the reader that eating the same food every day is unhealthy.

3) To classify on-campus eateries.

4) To prove that daily consumption of fast food is harmful.

Shape it up: tips you can follow for a healthier campus diet

Rushing up and down the streets, I often have days when I wonder how I will find the time to eat. This is when it becomes easy for students to turn to fast food. Once you stop living close by or have awkward time gaps between classes, fast food is available at almost every on-campus eatery.

There’s no doubt that the university tries to make healthier food readily available. Some cafes have organic foods ready to go and Greenhouse allows students to make almost any kind of fresh salad they can think of. But I have to wonder, why is there so much fast food available? For many students, it’s difficult to choose an expensive salad from Greenhouse over a meal from Taco Bell.

To solve the problem of finding healthy food on campus without having to eat salad daily, I do three things: take advantage of meal options I previously disregarded, completely ignore any fast food place and get creative in the dining halls.

First, I take advantage of meal options I had previously disregarded at on-campus restaurants. Being both a vegetarian and interested in a fair-trade diet has made it somewhat challenging to arrange an eating plan while living on campus. With limited options, food gets old fast. I looked closely at menus to see what options I overlooked. On campus, I eat oatmeal and fresh fruit instead of getting smoothies. I try the soup at Greenhouse instead of salad. If I have time in the morning I use an extra swipe and pack a lunch. By including this, I now have something new to eat each day, and I can go an entire school week without repeating a lunch.

As I create a pattern of eateries to maintain a healthy diet without losing interest in the food, it is clear I cannot include every on-campus restaurant in my plan.

This is where my second solution comes in. I have learned to completely ignore fast food. If I linger in front of Panda Express or Sbarro too long, temptation takes over. I started ignoring these places in the middle of fall quarter, and now I can walk by them without a thought. The only way I know to accomplish this is willpower. Of course, that does not mean in any way that you should never allow yourself the occasional visit to these restaurants. Everyone deserves a treat sometimes. I know I can never give up animal-style fries completely.

Finally, I have learned to get creative in dining halls. This can’t easily be done outside a dining hall, so it isn’t exactly an «on-the-go» solution to eating on campus. Just the same, it can help make meals less boring. I often take a veggie patty and make a wrap out of it, and I use the salad bar to throw on any other toppings I want. I use the microwave to heat up whatever I want in it. If you are a meat lover, you can put the bacon bits from the salad bar or slice a grilled chicken breast to put in soup or pasta.

When living on a college campus, it can be difficult to find a way to eat what you like and what’s good for you while trying to avoid a repetitive diet. There are a limited number of options available and the dominance of fast food can be hard to ignore. But if you try out as many places as you can, use willpower and turn on your creativity, you can certainly design your own healthy meal plan that won’t feel as if you eat the same thing every day.

1) their schedule is well adjusted.

2) they are short of time.

3) they live close to the campus.

4) they have no willpower.

This is when it becomes easy for students to turn to fast food. Once you stop living close by or have awkward time gaps between classes, fast food is available at almost every on-campus eatery.

What does the author think about eating opportunities on campus?

1) She believes they need to provide more organic food.

2) She thinks they do a great job providing salads at a reasonable price.

3) She can’t understand why they offer so many fast food choices.

4) She thinks that meals from Taco Bell are too expensive.

But I have to wonder, why is there so much fast food available?For many students, it’s difficult to choose an expensive salad from Greenhouse over a meal from Taco Bell.

What is the author’s method of maintaining a healthy diet?

1) Carefully choosing in on-campus restaurant.

2) Changing a restaurant daily.

4) Trying new dishes on the menu.

On campus, I eat oatmeal and fresh fruit instead of getting smoothies. I try the soup at Greenhouse instead of salad. If I have time in the morning I use an extra swipe and pack a lunch. By including this, I now have something new to eat each day, and I can go an entire school week without repeating a lunch.

What is NOT characteristic of the author’s eating habits?

1) She avoids eating meat.

2) She misses lunches.

3) She studies the menus attentively.

4) She tries to vary the food she eats.

I do three things: take advantage of meal options I previously disregarded, completely ignore any fast food place and get creative in the dining halls.

What is, according to the author, the best way to stop eating fast food?

1) Visit fast food restaurants not more than once a year.

2) To replace it with the animal-style fries.

3) Not to walk near fast food restaurants.

4) To stick to the decision not to eat it.

I have learned to completely ignore fast food. If I linger in front of Panda Express or Sbarro too long, temptation takes over. I started ignoring these places in the middle of fall quarter, and now I can walk by them without a thought. The only way I know to accomplish this is willpower.

What does «it» in paragraph 7 refer to («Just the same, it can help. «)?

1) Finding a perfect solution to eating on campus.

2) Cooking your own meals.

3) Creativity in a dining hall.

4) Eating outside of dining halls.

Finally, I have learned to get creative in dining halls.Just the same, it can help make meals less boring. I often take a veggie patty and make a wrap out of it, and I use the salad bar to throw on any other toppings I want.

There are a limited number of options available and the dominance of fast food can be hard to ignore. But if you try out as many places as you can, use willpower and turn on your creativity, you can certainly design your own healthy meal plan that won’t feel as if you eat the same thing every day.

Nowadays it is rather hard to choose the right profession for young people because there are so many occupations in the world. Some teenagers simply follow in their parents’ footsteps when choosing a career without thinking through. However, some people think that choosing a profession should depend on interests and individual qualities.

As for me, I think a person should choose a profession independently. To begin with, people are different let alone their interests, so consideration one’s strong points and individual qualities when choosing a profession is very important. Furthermore, if a person chooses the career he or she is fond of, the likelihood of becoming successful and independent is higher because this person will always know what to do and never leave things half done.

On the other hand, some people claim that following in parents’ footsteps when choosing a profession gives more chances to gain success easily and fast. In their mind, parents will always help and encourage their children with the occupation, so the first steps of a career ladder will be easy.

I cannot agree with these people. If a person chooses the career he or she really likes and will never give up on anything, becoming successful will be a matter of time because one will do the best to achieve great accomplishments.

To sum up, I would say that picking the right profession is very important. The occupation that tailors to one’s interests and hobbies will bring a lot of satisfaction and help become a successful person.

You have received a letter from your English-speaking pen-friend Alice who writes:

. I have to think about my pocket money all the time. My parents try to make me earn it by doing the housework. They try to make me save up and then buy something useful. But I need pocket money for the cinema and ice-cream and other treats like that. Do you have to ‘earn’ your pocket money in any way or do your parents just give it to you? What do you spend your pocket money on? What do your parents think of the way you spend it?

Last weekend my friends and I went on a picnic to the countryside.

Write a letter to Alice. In your letter answer her questions, ask 3 questions about her picnic. Write 100—140 words. Remember the rules of letter writing. You have 20 minutes to do this task.

Thank you for your letter. Sorry I couldn’t write you back earlier.

I totally understand your position about pocket money and the way you want to spend them, because I’ve got a similar situation or even worse: my parents never give me any money for doing some housework. They only give me some everyday money to take lunch at school and some extra-money before holidays. And I should say, that it’s not much at all. Usually I try to save up enough money to buy some closes of jewelry. And my parents think that it’s a regular way to spend money for a teenager.

Anyway, you’ve mentioned a picnic. How was it by the way? Did you have fun? Were there a lot of people?

I’ve got to go as my father is asking me to help him with his car.

Write back soon,

1. It’s more enjoyable to live in a big family.

2. Some parents think that having a computer at home will help their children to get a better education.

Family relationships is one of the most popular topic for discussion nowdays. There are people who consider that it is essential to live in a big family. However, others argue saying that there are no benefits in having a big family.

There are two good reasons why I think that it is important both for children and adults to live in a huge family. Firstly, if you live with your relatives they can give you good advice in some situations. It can be attractive for you because if you doubt a lot they help you to make a right decision. Secondly, all members of your family help you in a difficult situations. They can even support you with money.

Nevertheless, there are people who believe that it is really difficult to live in a big family. There are hustle and bustle everywhere and you also haven’t got enough spare place for yourself and freedom at all.

I disagree with this opinion because it is fun to live in a big family. Despite the fact that all members can irritate each other you all are still reliable and true friends.

Приведем пример эссе.

Communication via Internet is a sensitive issue nowadays. Some say it can result in losing real-life social skills, others argue that is almost impossible.

I tend to agree with the latter for two main reasons, with the first one being the fact that online communication does not prohibit you from meeting those you chat with when you have the chance. You can meet your one friend on some day, chat with the other one online in the evening and then do the same vice versa. Communication via Internet does not replace the real-life one, but adds to it. The second reason is the fact that even if you do not have friends, you can find one online and meet him or her later. Getting an idea of what a person is like by chatting online helps a lot when it comes to meeting in real life or even making such a decision.

However, there are people that say the lack of necessity to use body language and your voice while communicating online results in inability to use those in real life.

I cannot entirely agree with them, though. A prolonged lack of real-life communication can result into that, but it would take a really long time, and you are never forced to give up you real life and resort to the Internet, are you?

To conclude, it is safe to say that online communication does not undermine one’s real life social skills, but provides a tool to keep them sharp and, in some cases, even develop them, contrary to a popular belief.

Comment on one of the following statements.

1. Exams motivate students to study harder.

2. Some parents think that if there is a computer at home their children will waste much of their time on videogames and social networking.

What is your opinion? Do you agree with this statement? Write 200–250 words. Use the following plan:

− make an introduction (state the problem)

− express your personal opinion and give 2–3 reasons for your opinion

− express an opposing opinion and give 1–2 reasons for this opposing opinion

− explain why you don’t agree with the opposing opinion

− make a conclusion restating your position

Some say that exams give students motivation to study harder. Others argue that they provide unnecessary pressure and accomplish nothing.

I for myself tend to agree with the former. I consider myself a lazy, but a responsible person, so when there is an exam or a job to be done, I do my best, otherwise I lean towards wasting time and having fun and I am sure I am not the only one like that, so there is a certain number of students that study hard mainly to pass the upcoming exams. Moreover, the exams let the students see how well they are actually doing, which is quite important in my opinion.

However, there are people that think the students’ performance can be undermined by the fear of the exam that they naturally feel. They might also add that learning a subject may be funneled into exam preparation which reduces the knowledge students are left with at the end of the course.

I can’t agree with those statements for two main reasons. Firstly, the fear actually stimulates students to work harder because a student that studied all that he had to is sure to pass a properly designed exam. Secondly, the composition of the exam should require all the knowledge the students’ course had to offer, so the «funneling» problem comes not from the concept of an exam, but from how it is implemented, which is often done wrong due to the human factor.

To conclude, it is safe to say that education cannot be without exams that work as a stimulus for students to work and a measure of their succes.

Comment on one of the following statements.

1. It is better to go to university far away from your home-town than to continue living with your parents.

2. It is important to teach beautiful handwriting to young children.

What is your opinion? Do you agree with this statement? Writе 200–250 words. Usе thе following plan:

— makе an introduction (statе thе problеm paraphrasing thе givеn statеmеnt)

— еxprеss your personal opinion and give 2–3 reasons for your opinion

— express an opposing opinion and give 1–2 reasons for this opposing opinion

— explain why you do not agree with the opposing opinion

— make a conclusion restating your position

Nowadays, there are a lot of people who leave their hometown to other cities to study. Many people argued that university students are encouraged to live independently away from home instead of living in the nurture of parents. In my opinion, living far away from home has both advantages and disadvantages.

Living far away from home brings several opportunities for an undergraduate to enhance their cultural sensitivity and evolve essential soft skills. Choosing to stay near the university makes it easy for students to participate in extracurricular activities. As a result, you become more and more independent and it helps refine student’s life skills. You will be learnt how to take care of yourself and deal with the vast majority problems. Besides, this experience will expand your mind. As a result, people who live far away from parents would have likely become more mature than home-living ones.

On the other hand, living far away from home consists of many drawbacks for students. Firstly, you will confront with the financial burden. For example, if you study abroad, you may not only pay various university fees but also deal with culture shock. Secondly, your health may be depressed by the lifestyle and constant pressure of deadlines and responsibilities.

In conclusion, even though living far away from your parents get some pros and cons, when you have a chance to live far away from home, you should give it a try and become a self-reliant person.

Comment on one of the following statements.

1. Studying online is more interesting than studying at school.

2. Summer holidays in the countryside are best for teenagers.

What is your opinion? Do you agree with this statement?

Write 200–250 words.

Education plays an important role in our lives nowadays. However, there is a dispute on this issue. Some people believe that getting an education online is more beneficial than studying at school, while others think that learning in class is better than on the Internet.

I tend to agree with those people, who say that studying online is more efficient than at school. Firstly, any form of online education should denote an individual approach, because a lot of tutors try their best to give people top-notch lessons online. Secondly, it allows students to study practically everywhere. Thirdly, any person can study in some comfortable and relaxing atmosphere. Consequently, online studying process can be more beneficial and enthralling. However, there is another point of view on this issue.

Some people argue that if a person studies online, a teacher could not check his knowledge properly, because a student can search all the keys for different tests or just cheat googling the answers to the questions. Moreover, some people are too relaxed at home, and they cannot focus on the tasks as they usually do at school, because of several personal distractors.

The reason I cannot agree with this is quite simple. Every teacher can check all the students online by Zoom, Skype, What’s App, FaceTime and other programs. Finally, when a student is his comfortable atmosphere, he does not get very stressed and can focus on the topic, realizing a lot of facts and learning a dozen new things. So, people are eager to study harder, when they feel secure and motivated. I believe good teachers know how to support and encourage their students. In conclusion, I would like to say that contemporary education gives them opportunities for learning faster, easier and allows better quality. Nowadays online education is better than studying at school.

40.1 Imagine that you are doing a project on the amount of motor vehicles in the world. You have collected some data on the subject (see the table below).

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

Country	Motor vehicles per 1000 people
USA	816
Canada	685
UK	473
Russia	388
India	42

Write 200−250 words. Use the following plan:

— make an opening statement on the subject of the project work;

— select and report 2−3 main features;

— make 1−2 comparisons where relevant;

— outline a problem that can arise with the quantity of motor vehicles in the world and suggest the way of solving it

— draw a conclusion giving your personal opinion on the importance of motor vehicles

40.2 Imagine that you are doing a project on life expectancy in Russia. You have collected some data on the subject (see the diagram below).

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

Write 200−250 words. Use the following plan:

— make an opening statement on the subject of the project work;

— select and report 2−3 main features;

— make 1−2 comparisons where relevant;

— outline a problem that can arise with life expectancy and suggest the way of solving it;

— draw a conclusion giving your personal opinion on the importance of a high life expectancy

40.1. Motor vehicles are an important part of both the daily life and the industry of any developed country. My project, which I am still working on, is aimed at finding out how many vehicles are in use in various countries. I have found some data on this issue and organised it in the table below.

I can identify two main features of the statistics presented in the table. The first one is that the highest level of motorisation can be found in the USA. The second one is that the lowest number of cars per capita is in India at just 42 vehicles per 1000 people.

It is also worth mentioning that the UK only has slightly more vehicles than Russia, surpassing it by just 85.

In my opinion, the statistics in the table reveal an important problem. Some countries have too many vehicles, which contributes to urban sprawl and negatively affects the population. I think that in order to solve this problem governments should focus more on developing public transport, such as buses and light rail.

In conclusion, I believe that controlling the number of motor vehicles is vital for keeping the balance between a healthy industry and a healthy population.

40.2. Life expectancy in Russia can give a useful insight of the development of a country. My project, which I am still working on, is aimed at finding out the life expectancy in Russia. I have found some data on this issue and organized it in the chart below

I can identify two main features of the statistics presented in the chart below. The first one is that the lowest life expectancy in Russia was in 2001. The second one is that the highest life expectancy is 76 years old in 2019.

It is also worth mentioning that the life expectancy has been increasing rapidly since 2001.

In my opinion, the statistics in the chart reveal an important problem. We can see that the life expectancy has doubled since 1971 to 2019, which means that there are even more retired and older people in Russia. I think that in order to solve this problem the government should promote more immigration of younger people to fill in the job positions that the elderly have left behind.

In conclusion, I believe that the promotion of more jobs for immigrants should maintain the economy at a higher growth path. This would balance out the decrease of the economic growth that is a result of the increase of the life expectancy.

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

Year	Tickets sold
2018	1 311 323 188
2019	1 228 763 382
2020	223 592 795
2021	342 411 561

Write 200−250 words. Use the following plan:

— make an opening statement on the subject of the project work;

— select and report 2−3 main features;

— make 1−2 comparisons where relevant;

— outline a problem that can arise with movies and suggest the way of solving it;

— draw a conclusion giving your personal opinion on the importance of movies in human life

40.2 Imagine that you are doing a project on the percentage of household with computers. You have collected some data on the subject (see the diagram below).

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

Write 200−250 words. Use the following plan:

— make an opening statement on the subject of the project work;

— select and report 2−3 main features;

— make 1−2 comparisons where relevant;

— outline a problem that can arise with PCs and suggest the way of solving it;

— draw a conclusion giving your personal opinion on the importance of computers in human life

40.1. The film industry is a very important aspect of modern life and human entertainment. My project, which I am still working on, is aimed at finding out the number of movie tickets sold. I have found some data on this issue and organized it in the table below

I can identify two main features of the statistics presented in the table below. The first one is that the highest number of movie tickets sold was in 2018. The second one is that the lowest number of movie tickets sold was in 2021.

It is also worth mentioning that the number of movie tickets sold has been declining significantly since 2018.

In my opinion, the statistics in the table reveal an important problem. We can see that the data on the sold movie tickets isn’t specific, not accounting for various ways in which movies are sold. I think that in order to solve this problem the data should be broadened to streaming services.

In conclusion, I believe that recollecting the data of movies sold in streaming services, as well as the one from the tickets sold in movie theaters, should give greater insight into the consumption of movies sold in the modern world.

40.2. Computers are an important part of our daily life and a vital utility for communication and entertainment. My project, which I am still working on, is aimed at analyzing the percentage of households which have a computer. I have found some data on this issue and organised it in the graph below.

I can identify two main features of the statistics presented in the graph. The first one is that the highest level of computer usage was in 2016, at nearly 80%. The second one is that the lowest percentage of households with a computer was in 1984.

It is also worth mentioning that the highest leap was between 1993 and 2000, with a rise in computer usage of about 30%.

In my opinion, the statistics in the table reveal an important problem. As of 2016, there still are more than 20% of households don’t have a PC, which reduces the ability of those unable to buy a computer to self-educate. To solve this problem, governments should increase the availability of PCs for low-income households.

In conclusion, I believe that computers are essential in the modern world, both for education and work, so making them available to the general public is an extremely important task for all of humanity.

— make 1−2 comparisons where relevant;

— outline a problem that can arise with the variety of tree species and suggest the way of solving it;

— draw a conclusion giving your personal opinion on the importance of trees in the modern world

40.2 Imagine that you are doing a project on wildfires in the United States. You have collected some data on the

subject (see the diagram below).

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

Write 200−250 words. Use the following plan:

— make an opening statement on the subject of the project work;

— select and report 2−3 main features;

— make 1−2 comparisons where relevant;

— outline a problem that can arise with the wildfires and suggest the way of solving it;

— draw a conclusion giving your personal opinion on the importance of wildfire prevention.

40.1. Trees are a vital aspect of human kind because they produce the air we breathe and give life to the wildlife on this planet. My project, which I am still working on, is aimed at finding out the countries with the most tree species. I have found some data on this issue and organized it in the table below.

I can identify two main features of the statistics presented in the table below. The first one is that Brazil has the highest number of tree species in the world with 9223 tree species. The second one is that China has the lowest number of tree species with only 4680 species.

It is also worth mentioning that Columbia has the second highest number of tree species, while Venezuela is the country with the second least number of tree species..

In my opinion, the statistics in the table reveal an important problem.There are too many species of trees concentrated in one territory, which can place it in a vulnerable position if a wildfire would occur in that territory. I think that in order to solve this problem the Brazilian government should keep a constant watch of the territories where their species of trees are located.

In conclusion, I believe that the preservation of the different tree species in Brazil helps the entire world overall, maintaining the biggest source of oxygen on the planet in healthy conditions.

40.2. Wildfires are a great threat to both nature and humanity, as they destroy every forest and town standing in their way, making them a deadly occurrence. My project, which I am still working on, is aimed at finding out the area that was burned in wildfires in recent years in the USA.

I can identify two main features of the statistics presented in the chart. The first one is that the highest amount of land was burned in 2020, at more than 10 million acres. The second one is that the smallest area was affected in 2019.

It is also worth mentioning that only slightly less land was burned in 2017 than in 2020.

In my opinion, the statistics in the table reveal an important problem. A huge number of forests are affected by wildfires every year and the numbers for the recent years are the highest yet. To solve this problem, government agencies should aim to stop preventable wildfires from occurring, such as wildfires that result from irresponsible bonfire extinguishing in forests.

In conclusion, I believe that fighting wildfires is an important task that people should focus on to save both the natural reserves of the world and the lives of many who may die from a wildfire.

Task 3. You are going to give an interview. You have to answer five questions. Give full answers to the questions (2−3 sentences). Remember that you have 40 seconds to answer each question.

Tapescript for Task 3

Interviewer: Hello everybody! It’s Teenagers Round the World Channel. Our guest today is a teenager from Russia and we are going to discuss extreme sports. We’d like to know our guest’s point of view on this issue. Please answer five questions. So, let’s get started.

Interviewer: What are the dangers of extreme sports?

Interviewer: Which kinds of extreme sports are popular in Russia? Which aren’t?

Interviewer: If you had to choose, what kind of extreme sports would you try and why?

Interviewer: What benefits do extreme sports provide?

Interviewer: Are you interested in extreme sports? Why?

Interviewer: Thank you very much for your interview.

1) Extreme sports can be potentially lethal and provide a high risk of injury. For example, a fall while rock climbing can lead to broken bones or even death.

2) Rock climbing is popular in the mountainous regions of Russia, such as the Caucasus mountains. Surfing is also popular in the regions near seas and oceans. To my mind, skydiving and base jumping are not popular in Russia.

3) I would probably try jumping from a plane with a parachute. It is relatively safe as the instructor would always be strapped to me and will control our descent.

4) Extreme sports can give people new exciting experiences. Moreover, extreme sports let people unwind and combat their fears.

5) I am not interested in extreme sports. First of all, they are too dangerous and I don’t like risking my life. Secondly, they take too much physical preparation to participate in.

Task 3. You are going to give an interview. You have to answer five questions. Give full answers to the questions (2−3 sentences). Remember that you have 40 seconds to answer each question.

Tapescript for Task 3

Interviewer: Hello everybody! It’s Teenagers Round the World Channel. Our guest today is a teenager from Russia and we are going to discuss art. We’d like to know our guest’s point of view on this issue. Please answer five questions. So, let’s get started.

Interviewer: What cultural sights does your region have?

Interviewer: Who is your favourite artist and why?

Interviewer: How does art affect our daily lives?

Interviewer: Should children have art lessons in school?

Interviewer: Is art important to the world? Why?

Interviewer: Thank you very much for your interview.

1) I live in Saint Petersburg. It houses a number of museums and art galleries, many of which are world famous.

2) I adore the art of Ilya Repin. I find his works calm me down and give me the feeling of relaxation and connection with nature.

3) Art can let us get an alternative point of view on our daily lives. It can help us to find a way to change our life for the better.

4) I believe that children should study art in school. It improves their ability to analyse and think, as well as their erudition.

5) Art can be a great way to comment on the world and reach a wide audience. Many flaws of the modern world can be noted and critiqued by artists, which benefits the society as a whole.

Subject: Welcome

. I have to think about my pocket money all the time. My parents try to make me earn it by doing the housework. They try to make me save up and then buy something useful. But I need pocket money for the cinema and ice-cream and other treats like that. Do you have to ‘earn’ your pocket money in any way or do your parents just give it to you?

The purpose of the project I am currently working on is to find out more about it. As part of my project, I have found and analyzed some data on most popular birthday presents for teenagers in Zetland. According to the data, there is quite a wide range of presents people traditionally give teenagers for their birthdays. It is clear that the majority of the respondents (46%) consider money to be the best gift. Moreover, a great number of people (23%) prefer buying gadgets for teenage birthday. It is worth mentioning that chocolate is the best present for 16% of the respondents. Surprisingly, only 9% of the respondents think buying soft toys as birthday presents for the adolescents. It is a bit more popular answer than jewellery. To my mind, push toys seem to be childish and jewellery are commonly interesting for girls. One problem that can arise with choosing birthday present is that sometimes people buy the same things. Unfortunately, it happens and it is unpleasant for everybody. One solution to this problem is to use special appliance where a birthday boy can write his wish list and guests can choose present to buy and tick it. In conclusion, I firmly believe that birthday presents are very important for teenagers. They are still waiting for this magic time like in their childhood.

It is clear, that the vast majority of the respondents prefer visiting interactive museums, 70% of the teenagers have named them. Also, 18% of the interviewed adolescents like spending time going to science museums, whereas historical museums, art galleries and museums of local history appear to be the least popular places to visit. It is worth mentioning that spending time learning local history is four times less interesting for the teenage visitors than learning history in general. To my mind, historical discoveries attract young generation more than things nearby. One problem that can arise with visiting museums is that excursions are usually uninteresting owing to the visitors can only walk, look and listen to the guide. One solution to this problem is to organize interactive excursions so that the visitors can touch, try to use or try on copies of museums objects. It makes a visit to a museum to become an adventure. In conclusion, I firmly believe that visiting museums and art galleries play a significant role in teenagers’ life. It helps them learn something new and broaden the horizons.
