Решение
Что нужно сделать. Задание альтернативное: 38.1 или 38.2, ученик выбирает один вариант. Оба построены по единому плану из пяти пунктов: вступление о теме проекта и об опросе; 2–3 факта с цифрами; 1–2 сравнения с комментарием; проблема строго по формулировке пункта 4 плана; мнение автора строго по вопросу пункта 5 плана.

Вариант 38.1 (table). Тема проекта — почему многие молодые жители Зетландии выбирают спортивную специальность. Источник данных — table, опрос среди: young Zetlanders who study sports at university. Проблема студента спортивной специальности во время соревнований (пункт 4 плана); мнение о важности профессионального спорта для общества (пункт 5 плана).
Данные таблицы. Вопрос опроса: «Why have you chosen to major in sports?». «Teamwork and collaboration» — 40%; «Career opportunities» — 28%; «Passion for sports» — 18%; «Focus on health and fitness» — 9%; «Scholarship opportunities» — 5%.
Возможный ответ (38.1).
I am currently doing a school project that looks at what draws young Zetlanders to a degree in sports. To collect material, I found the results of a survey conducted among young Zetlanders who study sports at university.
The table shows that 40 percent of the students questioned chose this major because of "teamwork and collaboration", while 28 percent were attracted by "career opportunities". A further 18 percent simply have a "passion for sports". These figures suggest that a sense of belonging drives this choice more than anything else.
If we compare the two least common reasons, only 9 percent mentioned a "focus on health and fitness", and merely 5 percent picked "scholarship opportunities". Social and professional motives clearly matter more than personal wellbeing or money. The considerable gap between the leading two motives and the remaining ones suggests that a sense of belonging and future prospects matter more here than health or financial support.
Performing well in competitions while keeping up with university coursework puts considerable pressure on a sports student. Offering flexible deadlines during official competition periods would let them catch up afterwards without falling behind. Universities could also assign academic tutors specifically to support athletes during busy competition seasons.
In conclusion, I firmly believe that professional sport is extremely important for modern society, because it genuinely inspires healthy habits in ordinary people and teaches young athletes valuable lessons about discipline, teamwork and long-term resilience.
Вариант 38.2 (pie chart). Тема проекта — как жители Зетландии предпочитают проводить отпуск. Источник данных — pie chart, опрос среди: Zetlanders. Проблема похода в горы (пункт 4 плана); мнение о лучшем виде отдыха для подростков (пункт 5 плана).
Данные диаграммы. Вопрос опроса: «What is your favourite type of holiday?». «Beach holiday» — 33%; «Hiking» — 29%; «Wellness and spa holiday» — 20%; «Cultural tour» — 12%; «Adventure holiday» — 6%.
Возможный ответ (38.2).
I am currently working on a school project that explores how Zetlanders like to spend their holidays. To research this, I found a pie chart with the results of a survey conducted among Zetlanders about their favourite type of holiday.
The data show that 33 percent of the respondents prefer a "beach holiday", while 29 percent choose "hiking" instead. A further 20 percent enjoy a "wellness and spa holiday" the most. These figures show that most Zetlanders clearly favour rest and movement over cultural sightseeing.
Comparing the two least popular choices is interesting: only 12 percent picked a "cultural tour", and just 6 percent chose an "adventure holiday". Relaxation and physical activity in nature clearly matter more than sightseeing or extreme experiences. The fairly narrow gap between the top two answers suggests that Zetlanders are almost equally drawn to relaxation by the sea and to a more active holiday in nature.
Unpredictable mountain weather can turn a pleasant hiking trip into an uncomfortable, even dangerous, one rather quickly. Checking a detailed forecast before departure and always carrying proper waterproof equipment removes most of that risk. Choosing a well-marked, less demanding trail also makes hiking considerably safer for beginners.
To conclude, in my opinion, hiking makes the best type of holiday for teenagers, because it genuinely combines physical activity, fresh air and close contact with nature in a way that a purely relaxing beach holiday simply cannot fully offer.
