38.1.  Many people believe that living in a city is more comfortable than in the countryside. While doing a project on why some Zetlanders move to big cities, I have found a table containing some relevant data that I am going to comment on.
According to the data, there is quite a wide range of benefits of living in a city. It is clear that the majority of the respondents (34%) think about changing their place of residence because there are better opportunities for work. Moreover, a great number of people (27%) would like to develop their business. It is worth mentioning that various entertainment and events are significant for only 8% of the respondents.
Surprisingly, only 5% of the respondents think about making new friends in a city. It is five times less popular answer than getting a better education. To my mind, big cities provide better opportunities for students as a lot of universities and educational centres are situated there. At the same time, life in a big city is very fast and not everyone would like to talk to a stranger.
One problem that can arise with moving to a big city is that the air is polluted there. Thus, people living in a metropolis cannot breathe fresh air. One solution to this problem is to replace petroleum by clean fuels for vehicles and plant more trees.
In conclusion, I think that despite some problems associated with living in a big city, it is great place for living. Nowadays metropolises are changing towards the green environment. (258 words)

38.2.  Nowadays studying is shifting towards doing creative works. While doing a project on what school project topics are popular among Zetland teenagers, I have found a pie chart containing some relevant data that I am going to comment on.
According to the data, the pupils in Zetland have quite a wide range of topics when it comes to doing a school project. Obviously, the most popular of them are environmental issues, 32% of the respondents have chosen them. Also, 25% of the teenagers have named culture and arts as their school project’s spheres. Moreover, social issues are interested for 19% of the respondents.
It is worth mentioning that political issues are twice as popular as must-⁠read book as topics for school projects. To my mind, the main reason is that teenagers read very little anymore. At the same time, adolescents become interested in politics in order to seem grown up.
Statistics reveal one problem connected with doing a school project, none of the respondents have mentioned IT as their project’s investigation field. Lack of interest to learning about the fastest developing industry may become a great problem in the future. One solution to it is to manage meetings with programmers in order to encourage students to study IT and explain them all the opportunities that this science can give them.
In conclusion, I firmly believe that school projects are very important for pupils in Zetland. I think creative and group work can help students develop various skills. (247 words)

38.1.  Many people believe that summer is the best time for teenagers to engage in outdoor activities. While conducting a project on how teenagers in Zetland spend their summer, I came across a table containing some relevant survey data that I would like to comment on.
According to the data, there is a clear preference for water-related activities among the respondents. The majority of teenagers (35%) enjoy going to the beach, indicating a strong desire for socializing and relaxation in a sunny environment. Additionally, 24% of the respondents prefer swimming in the lake, which suggests that many teens appreciate the refreshing experience of natural water bodies. Fishing, biking, and hiking are also popular, with 21%, 11%, and 9% of respondents respectively, showing a diverse range of interests.
Interestingly, the combined total of 59% for beach and lake swimming highlights the appeal of water activities during the hot summer months. In contrast, biking and hiking, while still enjoyed, attract significantly fewer participants. This disparity may reflect the social nature of beach outings compared to the more solitary experiences of biking and hiking.
One problem that teenagers may face when planning their summer activities is the unpredictability of the weather. Rainy days can disrupt outdoor plans, leading to disappointment. A possible solution to this issue is to create a flexible schedule that includes indoor activities, such as visiting local museums or participating in community events, ensuring that they have alternatives when the weather doesn’t cooperate.
In conclusion, I believe that staying active during the summer is essential for teenagers, as it promotes physical health, social interaction, and mental well-being. Engaging in various activities allows them to make the most of their free time and fosters a sense of community. Therefore, it is important for teens in Zetland to explore different summer activities and remain active throughout the season.(250 words)

38.2.  Nowadays, the role of modern technology in the lives of teenagers is increasingly significant. While conducting a project on how Zetland teenagers utilize technology, I came across a pie chart containing some relevant data that I would like to comment on.
According to the data, teenagers in Zetland have a clear preference for certain types of technology. Unsurprisingly, smartphones are the most widely used, with 45% of respondents indicating they use them the most. Following this, 30% of teenagers prefer laptops, while tablets and gaming consoles account for 15% and 10%, respectively. This data highlights the importance of smartphones in daily life, serving as essential tools for communication, social media, and entertainment.
It is worth noting that smartphones are significantly more popular than tablets and gaming consoles combined. This trend suggests that teenagers prioritize devices that offer versatility and convenience. However, the heavy reliance on technology can lead to decreased face-to-face interactions, which is a concern for many parents and educators.
One problem associated with the extensive use of modern technology is the potential for social isolation. Many teenagers may find themselves spending more time on their devices than engaging in real-life social activities. A possible solution to this issue is to encourage designated tech-free times, promoting outdoor activities and in-person gatherings with friends and family.
In conclusion, I believe that modern technology plays a crucial role in the lives of teenagers in Zetland. While it offers numerous benefits for communication and learning, it is essential to use it mindfully to ensure that it enhances social interactions and overall well-being.(262 words)

38.1.  The aim of my project is to find out how Zetlanders help raise awareness about the environment. I have found a survey table with some relevant data.
According to the survey, the most popular activity is participating in local clean-up events  — 37% of respondents chose this option. Reducing personal waste comes second with 20%. Supporting environmental organisations (16%) and educating friends and family (14%) are slightly less common. Sharing information online is the least popular  — only 13%. It is worth mentioning that active participation (37%) is much more popular than simply sharing information online (13%).
A big problem is that many people neglect environmental issues because they think their individual effort doesn't matter. To solve this, schools should organise more practical activities like clean-⁠up days and involve both schoolchildren and their families into these activities. People should feel that their contribution is valuable and they can do something real and help the environment without any heroical efforts. Moreover, it is crucial to spread awareness about the environmental problems caused by individual households, not only big factories, and about the means to reduce this little but immensely wide-spread impact.
In conclusion, I strongly believe that protecting the ecology of our planet is extremely important. Even small actions help a lot if many people do them.

38.2 The aim of my project is to find out why Zetland school children prefer to read and discuss news in social networks. I have found a survey table with some relevant data.
According to the survey, the most popular reason of choosing online is lack of free time - 37% of respondents chose this option. It is quite an obvious reason because school children nowadays as a rule attend extracurricular classes and are as busy as their parents. Second comes inconvinient schedule with 22%. To my mind, it is closely connected with the first reason. Third place is taken by "no suitable club in my school" with 19%. It is also understandable, as far as students are busy, there is no need to set up a club for the few of them who have free time to attend it. Quite a lot of respondents (15%) marked "negative previous experience" while only 7% honestly said that they are not interested in activities of school club.
It's a big issue nowadays that people tend to communicate online more than offline. Though, it is more convenient, taking into account the ever-growing rhythm of life. To my mind, school clubs should be in social networks now, with a few big offline activities held in the course of the academic year.
In conclusion, I believe that being one school community is more important than trying to save offline communication among people. Though, sometimes people should gather to see each one's eyes and organize something interesting together.

38.1.  Nowadays a lot of teenagers spend their free time reading books particularly there is a variety of book genres. The aim of the project I am currently working on is to find out what book genres 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, the teenagers in Zetland have quite a wide range of tastes when it comes to book genres. It is clear, that the vast majority of the respondents enjoy reading adventure novels as well as detective stories (55.4% and 55.3% respectively). Sports stories are also quite popular with the teenage readers (49.2%), whereas romantic novels appear to be at the bottom of the table.
It is worth mentioning that animal stories are two times less preferable than adventure novels. To my mind, books about animals are written mostly for little children, not for teenage readers.
Statistics reveal one problem connected with reading. Obviously, there are no classical books in the table. Thus, teenagers in Zetland prefer reading books for relaxation than broadening their horizons. One solution to this problem is to organize discussing clubs for the adolescents there they can meet professors and theater actors, read together and read serious books. Live communication encourages better than boring lessons.
In conclusion, I firmly believe that reading is significant for teenagers. I hope the adolescents will be able to learn more reading different book genres. (245 words)

38.2.  Many people believe that smartphones have become an essential part of modern life. The aim of the project I am working on is to find out what people use their smartphones for 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 when it comes to using smartphones. It is clear, that the vast majority of the respondents enjoy emailing as well as making phone calls (79% and 78% respectively). Surfing the internet is also quite popular with the smartphone users (58%), whereas paying for purchases appears to be at the bottom of the table.
It is worth mentioning that smartphones are used for playing computer games less often than for emailing. To my mind, it is comfortable to be in touch everywhere when it comes to business. At the same time, gaming is the most popular pastimes among teenagers.
One problem that people often face using smartphones is the poor quality of signal in some areas. It is very crucial nowadays due to the internet is necessary for using all options that modern devices provide. One solution to this problem is to create free Wi-⁠Fi zones in public places, such as libraries, railway stations, parks where people can spend their time effectively and gain access to the internet for free.
In conclusion, I firmly believe that smartphones play a significant role in our life. They make our daily life easier but people should use them wisely. (258 words)

38.1.  Today online communication has become an inseparable part of our lives. While doing a project on what social networks are used by teenagers in Zetland for communication, I found a table containing some relevant data that I am going to comment on.
According to the table, Instagram tops the list with 33% of the adolescents in Zetland using it. Snapchat is the second most popular social media platform chosen by 32% of the surveyed. It should be noted that only 3% of the respondents like Twitter.
The polling percentage shows that using Instagram is almost 10 times more popular than Twitter and this is not surprising. Instagram offers such features as liking comments, replying to specific comments, asking questions and taking polls in Stories as well as sending direct messages. Unexpectedly, Facebook also seems to be one of the least preferred social media services with 5% of the surveyed.
Although social media applications seem to be more a friend than a foe, overusing them causes people to spend less time interacting face-⁠to-⁠face and this seems to be a problem. To solve the problem, people should try to meet more often offline. Seeing each other lets people pick up body language and therefore understand one another better.
To conclude, I believe that social media are extremely important for teenagers: they help them study, get entertained, share the latest news, socialize, make new friends and always stay in touch with their families, friends, teachers, etc. (243 words)

38.2.  Listening to music has benefits for learning, mental health, and physical well-⁠being. While doing a project on what pieces of classical music people in Zetland can recognize when they hear them, I found a diagram containing some relevant data that I am going to comment on.
According to the diagram, the residents of Zetland are well acquainted with the music by Ludwig van Beethoven because 36% of them can easily recognize Fur Elise and 30% can identify Ode to Joy. It can also be seen that very few people know Flight of the Bumblebee by Rimsky-⁠Korsakov and Clair de Lune by DeBussy with 4% and 2% of the respondents respectively.
The data analysis reveals that Wedding March by Mendelson, recognized by 28% of the surveyed, is only by 2% less famous than Ode to Joy by Beethoven. Surprisingly, the music that everyone can listen to during every wedding ceremony is not very popular.
Although classical music has been time-⁠tested, it is not favoured by teenagers and hence their emotional intellect does not develop properly. This definitely seems to be a problem. This problem can be solved by introducing compulsory music lessons in high school and by making TV adverts featuring celebrities listening to classical music. This could really encourage younger people to start liking listening to it.
In conclusion, I believe that listening to classical music is really important as its calming effect takes away nervousness, and can help people cope with stress. (243 words)

38.1.  Spending free time has always been fun for teenagers. While doing a project on how teenagers in Zetland spend their free time, I found a diagram containing some relevant data that I am going to comment on.
According to the diagram, approximately half of all the teenagers in Zetland, that is 47%, choose hanging out with friends as their favourite pastime. Watching movies comes second in popularity with 20% of the surveyed. Surprisingly, only 5% of the respondents like reading the same book to discuss it later, and it is the least preferred free time activity.
The data analysis reveals that shopping online, chosen by 16% of the respondents, is almost three times as popular as reading, whereas doing online shopping is by 4% more favoured than cooking, which is practised only by 12% of the teenagers. It is quite understandable why shopping online is far more preferable: it is convenient, time-⁠saving and fun.
Although modern teenagers are quite active in going out together, they seem to neglect reading and this seems to be a problem. To solve this problem local authorities could promote reading in public places like parks or youth centres by involving celebrities into this activity. Thus, reading and discussing could regain their popularity.
In conclusion, I believe that despite the obvious disbalance between the active and passive forms of pastime, spending one’s free time and enjoying it is vital for a teenager’s mind and body. It’s an open secret that both work and play should be balanced. (251 words)

38.2.  Nowadays, using social networking sites like Instagram or Facebook has gradually become an inseparable part of teenagers’ lives as a staple means of communication. While doing a project on what teenagers in Zetland use social networks for, I found a diagram containing some relevant data that I am going to comment on.
The diagram shows that more than a half of all the teenagers in Zetland, that is 54%, use social media to get entertained. Sharing and following news ranks second in popularity with 21% of the surveyed adolescents. Unexpectedly, only 2% of the respondents use social platforms to promote their hobbies and it is the smallest amount.
The statistics analysis demonstrates that attending fan groups, which makes 12%, is six times as popular as promoting hobbies online. It is clear that modern teenagers like watching and dreaming about the life of their idols.
Although the majority of teenagers use social networks for different purposes, none of them has mentioned using social media for learning and it seems to be a problem. One of the solutions could be promoting virtual learning communities where both teachers and learners would share their ideas and experience.
To sum up, I believe that social platforms will never become unpopular, as they provide a great opportunity to socialize, make friends, follow new trends in fashion, take up a hobby, etc. However, it is also important to be careful not to spend too much time on screens  — social media are quite addictive. (246 words)

38.1.  Staying updated on current events is extremely important in the fast-⁠changing world. While doing a project on the sources of information teenagers in Zetland prefer using, I have found a diagram containing some relevant data that I am going to comment on.
According to the diagram, 38% of teenagers in Zetland prefer to use web browsers to take them anywhere on the internet. Peers as a source of information are second to web browsers with 26%. Periodicals were chosen by only 6% of the respondents and thus prove to be the most disfavoured.
The data analysis reveals that family as an information source is more popular by 4% than watching TV to follow the news, which make 17% and 13% respectively. Fortunatelly, families still get together and share the news. At the same time, television information resources are twice as popular as reading periodicals, which is not surprising as TV news is usually updated more quickly.
Although the internet as a source of information towers over the rest of the resources, there is always a problem of coming across unreliable or false information as even Wikipedia articles can be edited by any internet user. To solve this problem, I would recommend to validate any information you get on the internet before believing it or sharing it with others.
Having summed up the data, I can conclude that the internet is the fastest source of information available to us, but authenticity of information should definitely be validated. Moreover, getting informed by peers and family is also valuable because you also get experience and wisdom. (263 words)

38.2.  There is a public belief that if you choose a job you love, you will never have to work a single day in your life. While doing a project on the jobs most popular with young people in Zetland, I found a diagram containing some relevant data that I am going to comment on.
According to the diagram, approximately one third of all the teenagers in Zetland, that is 32%, choose software engineering to be their dream job. Being a construction worker ranks second in popularity with 22% of the surveyed adolescents. Interestingly, 13% of the respondents don’t mind earning their living as beauticians.
The statistics analysis shows that a sales representative job, chosen by 18% of the respondents, is by 3% more popular than working as a sports coach, favoured by only 15% of the teenagers in Zetland. However, making a sports career as a coach is still 2% more attractive than being a cosmetician, as the latter requires more precision and compassion. So, the adolescents prefer well-⁠qualified jobs.
Although teenagers decide on their job preferences very early in life, choosing the right career at this stage can be a challenge. Thus, they sometimes make wrong choices and this seems to be a problem. To solve the problem, it is necessary for a teenager to take special psychological tests by qualified career mentors.
To conclude, an average person works for 40 years and we should endeavor to spend this time happily. No matter what job you choose, being happy at work and loving what you do is the key to success. (262 words)

38.1.  It is understood that academic qualifications alone are not enough to succeed in a job interview and get the dream job, as employers always examine the personality of each candidate very carefully. While doing a project on what is important to get a job in Zetland, I found a diagram containing some relevant data that I am going to comment on.
According to the table, social skills stand first among the rest with 36%. Leadership skills are considered relatively less important with only 24%. Interestingly, multitasking skills seem to be less required as they make as much as only 5% of the polling percentage.
The data analysis reveals that teamwork skills, chosen by 20% of the surveyed, are four times as preferred as multitasking skills. At the same time, thinking skills with 15% are three times as essential as multitasking skills. Thus, it is obvious that social and leadership skills are considered paramount.
Although it is quite easy nowadays to apply for a job, as there are numerous job-⁠search applications, there is always a problem of how to make your resume more appealing to employers. To solve this problem, it is important to consult an expert who could understand your strengths and weaknesses and build a suitable resume.
I would like to conclude that the increased interest in sociable skills is quite explainable. They enable to communicate more effectively helping to build, maintain and grow relationships with colleagues, clients and new contacts no matter your position, industry or experience level. (250 words)

38.2.  Dreams are cherished expectations and ambitions people realize as long as they live. While doing a project on what modern teenagers in Zetland dream about, I found a diagram containing some relevant data that I am going to comment on.
According to the diagram, 38% of modern teenagers dream about promotion. Getting academic qualifications comes second with 21% of the surveyed. It can also be seen, that only 10% of teenagers prefer their financial wellbeing and it doesn’t seem to be one of their biggest dreams.
The polling percentage shows that climbing up a career ladder is almost four times as desired as financial wellbeing, and it is a good sign indicating that teenagers prefer work responsibility over money. At the same time, owning real estate is 3% more desirable than getting married, which is quite logical as one should have a house before having a family.
Although dreaming is always wonderful per se, there are two types of people  — dreamers and doers. Most people cannot dovetail both these and that is a problem. Dream without action will never yield results. To solve the problem, a dreamer should pen down their dreams and prepare a roadmap to fulfill them.
To sum up, modern teenagers' dreams are realistic and achievable. Everyone wants to live in their own house, have a family and lovely children, be successful at work and afford not only basic necessities, but travelling and exploring the world as well. As it is said, where there is a will, there is a way. (254 words)

38.1.  There have always been pros and cons of mandatory school uniforms, as some students like wearing it, whereas others prefer an individual look. While doing a project on what teenagers in Zetland think about school uniform, I found a diagram containing some relevant data that I am going to comment on.
According to the diagram, as much as 40% of the adolescents in Zetland enjoy wearing uniform at school. 24% of them have to wear it because it is a school rule. 9% of the respondents consider wearing school clothes old-⁠fashioned.
The data analysis reveals that the number of teenagers (40%) who like wearing school uniform is 4,4 times as large as the number of those who find it outdated. It is not surprising, because wearing school uniform makes students feel like their school is one big team and can even reduce potential for bullying.
Although school uniform is a dress code and is still required by lots of schools, there are always students who struggle with wearing it, and this seems to be a problem. To solve this problem school authorities could organize a student design contest to create such an outfit that would satisfy all teenagers’ demands including colour, material and comfort preferences.
To conclude, I believe that wearing school uniform plays a significant role in students’ lives, as it is a badge of pride, creates an identity for a school and is an important part of being a school student. Wearing school uniform is practical, safe and helps learning concentration. (253 words)

38.2.  Online shopping is becoming more and more popular as people discover its advantages. While doing a project on why online shopping is popular in Zetland, I found a diagram containing some relevant data that I am going to comment on.
The diagram shows that nearly one-⁠third of the teenage boys and girls in Zetland, that is 32%, choose online shopping because the variety of products is enormous. Convenience of home shopping comes second in popularity with 28% of those polled. It can also be seen that only 6% of the Zetland youngsters prefer cybershopping because they don’t have to queue.
The data analysis reveals that online access to clear information about products, chosen by 12% of the respondents, is twice as popular with the young online customers as the lack of queues. At the same time lower prices are by 10% less preferable than the large assortment of the products available online. It is clear that not price but deversity is more significant.
Although online shopping tends to attract more and more customers, there is always a risk of fraud and this seems to be a great problem as one can lose the money paid without getting the desired product. The best solutions to this problem could be shopping at secure sites only and checking the reviews before buying anything even if the offer seems to be a real bargain.
In conclusion, I believe that online shopping will always play a big role in the lives of people who really value their time, because it has lots of benefits including free store-⁠to-⁠door delivery or discounts. (265 words)

38.1.  Animals become endangered and then extinct for a variety of reasons. While doing a project on what causes animal extinction in Zetland, I found a diagram containing some relevant data that I am going to comment on.
According to the diagram, as much as 41% of the Zetlanders think that wild habitats destruction is responsible for animal extinction in Zetland. Poaching comes second with 23% of those polled. It can also be seen that only 10% of the surveyed consider global warming to be the reason why animals die out.
The statistics analysis demonstrates that the number of the respondents (41%) who blame natural habitats destruction for animal extinction is almost four times as large as the number of those who think it is the global warming which causes it (10%). It is not surprising, because habitat destruction is one of the biggest threats facing plants and animal species throughout the world.
Although everybody has heard of animal extinction, not everyone has ever tried to contribute to animal protection and this seems to be a problem. One of the solutions could be following the 3-⁠R rule: recycle, reuse, reduce. If everybody did it locally, the situation could change globally, and the environmental pollution could decrease significantly.
In conclusion, I believe that animals also play a critical role in the ecosystems and biospheres that make life on Earth possible for humans. Protecting animals, as well as their habitats, will help safeguard the future for all species, including homo sapiens. (248 words)

38.2.  Today social networking sites are an inseparable part of our lives. While doing a project on what social media sites are popular with teenagers in Zetland, I found a diagram containing some relevant data that I am going to comment on.
According to the diagram, Facebook tops the list with 42% of the adolescents in Zetland using it. YouTube is the second most popular social media platform chosen by 23% of the surveyed. It should be noted that only 3% of the respondents like Telegram and it is the least preferred social media service.
The polling percentage shows that using Facebook is 12 times as popular as using Telegram, which is not surprising as Facebook is almost twice as old as Telegram and therefore is far more famous. Clearly, using WhatsApp is by 10% more favoured than using TikTok, which is quite explainable: WhatsApp is really convenient for texting at work and business messaging, whereas TikTok just entertains.
Although social media sites seem to be more a friend than a foe, overusing them causes people to spend less time interacting face-⁠to-⁠face and this seems to be a problem. To solve the problem, we should try to meet more often offline. Seeing each other lets people pick up body language and hence understand one another better.
To conclude, I believe that social media are extremely important for teenagers: they help them study, get entertained, share the latest news, socialize, make new friends and always stay in touch with their families, friends, teachers, etc. (252 words)

38.1.  People choose to volunteer for a variety of reasons. While doing a project on what motivates people in Zetland to do volunteering, I found a diagram containing some relevant data that I am going to comment on.
According to the diagram, 45% of the young volunteers in Zetland are motivated just by helping others. As much as 23% of the surveyed do volunteering to gain knowledge or to develop some new skills. Broadening experience is chosen by 8% of the respondents and thus proves to be the least popular motivation behind volunteering.
The data analysis reveals that volunteering as a way of socializing, chosen by 13% of the polled, is only by 2% more popular than building confidence and self-⁠esteem, favoured by 11% of the teenagers in Zetland. It is not surprising, because mixing socially with others and boosting self-⁠assurance and self-⁠respect are closely interrelated and almost equally important for self-⁠development.
Although volunteerism is per se doing something noble and serving those who need care and affection, it can be time-⁠consuming and this seems to be a problem. To solve this problem, one should look for volunteer opportunities that require only a few hours of spare time each month, otherwise school or university studies will be neglected.
In conclusion, I believe that volunteering is really important for society as it is an extremely rewarding experience, giving people a chance to make an impact on the lives of others, whether directly or indirectly. Besides, volunteering provides both emotional and psychological benefits. (250 words)

38.2.  Shopping is both a routine and a pleasure and there is hardly anyone who doesn’t like it. While doing a project on what teenagers in Zetland spend their money on, I found a diagram containing some relevant data that I am going to comment on.
According to the diagram, 34% of the teenage boys and girls in Zetland spend their money on clothing and footwear. Technology is the second popular category with as much as 29% of the respondents. Another noticeable fact is that only 8% of the surveyed mention spending money on entertainment.
The statistics analysis demonstrates that spending money on clothes and shoes, chosen by 34% of those polled, is twice as popular as spending money on travelling. Surprisingly, entertainment costs are at the bottom of the list and are by 4% less admired than spending money on personal care. It is clear that modenrn teenagers take care about themselves and thier look.
Although spending money is an exciting activity, not all teenagers can spend their money wisely and that seems to be a problem. Creating a spending plan could be one of the solutions to the problem. A teenage spender should write down all the sources of income they make including pocket money and part-⁠time or summer job wages and analyze their expenses. This could allow young shopaholics to manage their cash responsibly.
In conclusion, I’m convinced that shopping is really important for any adolescent: at this stage of life it teaches young people to become moneywise, satisfies their social needs, helps to create good consumer habits and finally it is really fun. (266 words)

38.1.  Nowadays extreme sports are very popular among young people. The aim of the project I am currently working on is to find out why young people in Zetland do extreme sports. 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 extreme sports. It is clear that getting some adrenalin is at the top of the table, 47% of the respondents named it. Following modern trends and increasing self-⁠confidence are also quite popular with young sportsmen in Zetland (15% and 14% respectively), whereas fighting fears and stress and exploring their limits appear to be the least popular reasons to do extreme sports.
It is worth mentioning that getting some adrenalin encourages young people three times more often than following modern trends. Obviously, doing extreme sports such as snowboarding and windsurfing helps them get new and exciting emotions.
One problem that is usually associated with doing extreme sports is the high risk of being traumatized. People, especially adolescents, usually start doing extreme sports unaided. One solution to this problem is to organize volunteers centres where well-⁠qualified trainers can explain the basic rules that will help avoid injuries.
In conclusion, I think that extreme sports play the great role in the life of young people. It is a nice way to spend their pastimes actively. (238 words)

38.2.  Recent studies show that the population continues to increase, moreover, the great number of people move to cities. The aim of the project I am currently working on is to find out what problems large cities in Zetland face. As part of my project, I have found and analyzed some relevant data presented in the pie chart.
According to the data, there is quite a wide range of problems what can occur in modern cities. It is clear that traffic jams are at the top of the table, 46% of the respondents named it. Too many migrants and industrial pollution are also quite discussed issues in Zetland (19% and 16% respectively), whereas a high population density and a high crime rate appear not to be particularly dramatic challenges right now.
It is worth mentioning that traffic management system bothers people nine times more often than their security. Obviously, the security services work more effectively than the department of traffic.
One problem that is usually associated with life in large cities for teenagers is the lack of places where they can get together in order to make art. So that they usually occupy abandoned buildings that is not safe. One solution to this problem is to open special centres for the adolescents where they can express themselves in the care of volunteers.
In conclusion, I firmly believe that despite disadvantages that living in a big city can have, it is obviously a further step in the evolution. All together people can overcome the difficulties. (253 words)

38.1.  Some people believe that New Year is the most significant family holiday. The aim of the project I am currently working on is to find how young people in Zetland celebrate New Year. As part of my project, I have found and analyzed some relevant data presented in the table.
