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. Объём — 200–250 слов.
Вариант 38.1 (table). Тема проекта — почему компьютерные игры популярны среди подростков Зетландии. Источник данных — table, опрос среди: teenagers in Zetland who play computer games regularly. Проблема, связанная с компьютерными играми (пункт 4 плана); мнение о роли компьютерных игр в жизни подростков (пункт 5 плана).
Данные таблицы. Вопрос опроса: «Reasons computer games are popular». «Looking for entertainment» — 46%; «Making new friends» — 21%; «Improving mental skills» — 13%; «Developing hand-eye coordination» — 11%; «Seeking relaxation» — 9%.
Возможный ответ (38.1).
I am currently doing a school project that looks at why computer games are so popular among Zetland teenagers. To collect data, I found the results of an opinion poll conducted among teenagers in Zetland who play regularly.
The table shows that 46 percent of the teenagers surveyed play mainly because they are "looking for entertainment", while 21 percent value "making new friends" through games. A further 13 percent play for "improving mental skills".
If we compare the two least common reasons, only 11 percent mentioned "developing hand-eye coordination", and merely 9 percent picked "seeking relaxation". Fun and social connection clearly attract teenagers more than any physical benefit. The considerable gap between the leading answer and the rest suggests that entertainment value clearly outweighs every other motive for playing computer games.
Losing track of time in front of a screen instead of studying or sleeping is an easy trap for a teenage gamer to fall into. Setting a strict daily limit, using the tools already built into most devices, keeps this firmly under control. Choosing games with a natural stopping point also makes that limit noticeably easier to respect.
In conclusion, in my opinion, computer games can genuinely play a positive role in a teenager's life, because, so long as they are enjoyed in moderation, they offer entertainment, social connection and, quite often, useful mental challenges as well.
Вариант 38.2 (bar chart). Тема проекта — почему подростки Зетландии устраиваются на подработку. Источник данных — bar chart, опрос среди: teenagers in Zetland who currently have a part-time job. Проблема совмещения подработки и учёбы (пункт 4 плана); мнение о роли подработки в жизни подростков (пункт 5 плана).
Данные диаграммы. Вопрос опроса: «Why teenagers take a part-time job». «Getting pocket money» — 40%; «Getting work experience» — 24%; «Acquiring new skills» — 14%; «Learning more about different jobs» — 14%; «Testing oneself» — 8%.
Возможный ответ (38.2).
I am currently working on a school project that explores why Zetland teenagers decide to take a part-time job. To research this, I found a bar chart with the results of an opinion poll conducted among teenagers in Zetland who currently have one.
The data show that 40 percent of the respondents work mainly for "getting pocket money", while 24 percent value "getting work experience". A further 14 percent take a job for "acquiring new skills".
Comparing the two least common reasons is interesting: another 14 percent chose "learning more about different jobs", and only 8 percent picked "testing oneself". Immediate financial reward clearly matters more than long-term career exploration. The fairly close figures for the middle three answers suggest that, once the need for pocket money is met, teenagers value experience and skills almost equally.
Working too many hours at a part-time job can seriously damage a teenager's school performance. Agreeing on a maximum number of weekly hours with an employer before accepting the position prevents this problem from the very start. Choosing a job with a flexible weekend schedule also tends to protect study time far more effectively.
To conclude, in my opinion, a part-time job can play a genuinely valuable role in a teenager's life, because it teaches responsibility and the real value of money well before they ever enter full-time employment after leaving school.
