Many people continue to pursue their dream career after finishing school and go on to become a professional in a field that they dreamed of in childhood. My project, which I am still working on, is aimed at finding out what professions are desirable to kids. 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 graph. The first one is that the highest number of children wand to work in medicine, arts and design. The second one is that the lowest percentage of kids want to work in the transport industry. It is also worth mentioning that work in the security industry is only slightly more popular than in the IT. In my opinion, the statistics in the table reveal an important problem. There are not a lot of children who want to work in the developing world of information technology, which will determine much of the progress in the coming years. To solve this problem, schools should focus more on teaching children about IT. In conclusion, I believe that having a goal of becoming a professional in some field is important for any child, as it encourages them to work hard to reach their goals. 40.2. Horses provided the first means of travel to humankind. My project, which I am still working on, is aimed at finding out the horse population from 1870 to 1950, 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 in the year 1950 the number of horses was only five million. The second one is that the highest population of horses was recorded in 1910 to be 24 million. It is also worth mentioning that the the horse population decreased significantly from 1910 to 1950 In my opinion, the statistics in the chart reveal an important problem. We can see that the number of horses declined considerably by 1950, which could imply that this number has continued to decrease in the past few years. This can lead to an under population of horses, which can place them as an endangered species. I think that in order to solve this problem there should be a regulation of the quantity of horses to prevent it reaching critical numbers. In conclusion, I believe that the regulation of the quantity of horses can prevent it reaching an endangered species status. Выберите только ОДНО из двух предложенных заданий (40.1 или 40.2).

Literacy is absolutely vital in today’s information-rich world. Without the ability to read a person can’t study effectively and will stay relatively uneducated for all of their life. My project, which I am still working on, is aimed at finding out the literacy rates 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 Russia has the highest literacy rate of the countries listed. The second one is that Niger has by far the lowest literacy rate at just 19.1%. It is also worth mentioning that Libya’s literacy rate is only 8.7% behind Russia’s. In my opinion, the statistics in the table reveal an important problem. Some countries have extremely low literacy rates, which tremendously slows down their development. To solve this problem, there should be more organisations which help people in those countries. Moreover, the governments of those countries should focus much more on educating their people. In conclusion, I believe that a high level of literacy is extremely important for any country to progress, making raising the literacy rate worldwide a priority for all of mankind. 40.2. The Summer Olympics play a vital role in the encouragement of sport and its recognition between countries in the world. My project, which I am still working on, is aimed at finding out the number of countries participating in the Summer Olympics. 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 in 2004 there were a total of 200 countries participating in the Summer Olympics. The second one is that in 1896 only 12 countries participated in the Summer Olympics.. It is also worth mentioning that the number of countries participating in the Summer Olympics has been increasing significantly through the passing of the years. In my opinion, the statistics in the chart reveal an important problem. The competition between all the countries can develop rivalry, which in turn can lead to political conflicts between the countries. I think that in order to solve this problem the Olympics should promote a fair and healthy competitive environment, where all countries are treated equally.. In conclusion, I believe that the promotion of healthy competitiveness can lead to better political relationships between countries. Выберите только ОДНО из двух предложенных заданий (40.1 или 40.2).

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) 40.2 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. At the same time, uploading photos is almost as popular as being a celebrity follower and is only by 1% less popular. 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. (253 words) IELTS Essay, topic: Working childrenIn many countries children are engaged in some kind of paid work. Some people regard this as completely wrong, while others consider it a valuable work experience, which is important for learning and taking responsibility. What is your opinion? Nowadays, many children involved in different types of jobs to have some kind of financial assurance for themselves. However, whether this is good for their development and personality is a controversial issue. I personally believe that paid works is harmful for children for several reasons. This brings me to the second point. Defenders of child labour that it is an effective method of learning. The point is children should be able to apply knowledge taught to them in a real life working environment. Although this is undoubtedly true, it also means that children may neglect the classroom study and even fail the class. The worst thing is yet to come. They may become so preoccupied with the benefits ahead of them such as small salary that they may leave school. Finally, supporters say that it helps them to build responsibility in the family. They will understand how it is difficult to earn money and therefore have compassion for their parents. This is true to a certain extent, but may have a totally adverse effect on children. As children can make money at an early age, they would feel that it is appropriate to spend it on luxury things. In conclusion, I think that parents should take measures to restrict their child from work, otherwise it would have negative consequences to their future. This is a great essay, a Band 7+ candidate. My only suggestion is to divide your arguments so that you would have 2 paragraphs covering arguments ‘against’ and one covering arguments ‘for’ or vise versa. Don’t mix arguments ‘for’ and ‘against’ in one paragraph. Источники информации: |
