Imagine that you are doing a project on what professions Zetland teenagers consider prestigious. You have found some data on the subject — the results of a survey conducted among teenagers in Zetland (see the table below). Comment on the data in the table and give your opinion on the subject of the project. The survey question: What professions do you consider prestigious? Professions | Number of respondents (%) Lawyer | 32 Programmer | 30 Economist | 16 Doctor | 15 Manager | 7 Write 200–250 words. Use the following plan: — make an opening statement on the subject of the project; — select and report 2—3 facts; — make 1—2 comparisons where relevant and give your comments; — outline a problem that can arise with choosing a career by teenagers and suggest a way of solving it; — conclude by giving and explaining your opinion on how to make a career choice.

Возможный вариант ответа: The project I am currently working on aims to find out what professions Zetland teenagers consider prestigious. I have found a table showing the results of a survey on this topic. In this essay, I will analyse the data and provide my opinion on the subject of the project. According to the table, the most popular response to the question "What professions do you consider prestigious?" is "Lawyer" (32%), followed by "Programmer" (30%). The least frequently chosen profession is "Manager", at only 7%. Comparing the data, it is clear that the percentage of the respondents who choose "Lawyer" as their response to the survey question is significantly higher than the percentage of those who opt for "Doctor" (15%). This is not surprising because legal professions are often associated with high social status and financial success. However, it is somewhat alarming that only 15% of teenagers consider being a doctor prestigious, given the importance of this profession to society. Notably, one of the problems that can arise with choosing a career by teenagers is that they may be influenced by trends or peer pressure rather than their own interests. A good solution to this problem is to encourage teenagers to explore different professions through internships or career guidance programmes at school. In conclusion, I believe that when making a career choice, young people should focus on their personal skills and passions rather than on what society considers prestigious. A fulfilling career is one that brings satisfaction and matches one's abilities.

Imagine that you are preparing a project with your friend. You have found some interesting material for the presentation and you want to read this text to your friend. You have 1.5 minutes to read the text silently, then be ready to read it out aloud. You will not have more than 1.5 minutes to read it. Acid rain is a serious environmental problem these days. Basically, we have acid rain when water in the atmosphere mixes with dangerous gases and then falls onto the ground. It can fall as rain, snow, dust or even fog. When it comes into contact with animals, plants and even buildings or cars, it does a lot of harm to them. It also damages the soil. If it gets into a river or a lake, water creatures there suffer, too. It is obvious that acid rain is caused by air pollution. Factories and plants send smoke into the air. People burn fossil fuels to produce energy. They also drive their cars or use public transport instead of using their bikes or walking. Sometimes acid rain happens because of volcanic activity or other natural causes, but in most cases, it is man-made. We should consider our environmental footprint seriously and start doing everything we can to stop acid rain.
