Imagine that you are doing a project on popular New Year gifts. You have found some data on the subject – the results оf a relevant survey conducted among Zetland teenagers (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 would you like to receive as a New Year present? Presents | Number of respondents (%) A laptop | 25% A smartphone | 24% Headphones | 23% A camera | 20% A gift certificate | 8% 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; – outline a problem that can arise with presents and suggest a way of solving it; – conclude by giving and explaining your opinion on how to choose presents for your friends.

Возможный вариант ответа: The project I am currently working on aims to find out what New Year presents Zetland teenagers would like to receive. 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 would you like to receive as a New Year present?" is "A laptop" (25%), followed by "A smartphone" (24%). The least frequently chosen option is "A gift certificate", at only 8%. Comparing the data, it is clear that the percentage of the respondents who choose "A laptop" as their response to the survey question is slightly higher than the percentage of those who opt for "Headphones" (23%). This is not surprising because laptops are essential for both studying and entertainment. Furthermore, "A smartphone" (24%) and "Headphones" (23%) are almost equally popular, which suggests that teenagers value modern technology and gadgets for communication and leisure. Notably, one of the problems that can arise with presents is that people often do not know what to give, which may lead to unnecessary or unwanted gifts. A good solution to this problem is to ask friends about their preferences beforehand or to choose a gift certificate so that they can select something themselves. In conclusion, I believe that the best way to choose presents for friends is to consider their hobbies and interests. When a gift reflects a person's personality, it becomes truly meaningful and appreciated.

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. Part-time work can be an exciting journey for teenagers. Retail positions offer valuable customer service experience, helping young people develop communication skills and learn workplace responsibilities. Fast food restaurants provide opportunities to understand teamwork and time management. Babysitting and lawn care services teach reliability and financial independence. These jobs aren't just about earning money, but about personal growth and understanding the value of hard work. Many teenagers find creative ways to balance school and work. Tutoring younger students or working weekend shifts at local businesses can provide flexible income. The skills learned during these early employment experiences often shape future career paths and personal development. Despite challenges, part-time work can be a transformative experience for young people, offering insights into professional life and personal potential.

Hello! It's Teenagers Round the World Channel. Our guest today is a teenager from Russia and we are going to discuss teenagers attitude to food. We'd like to know our guest's point of view on this issue. Please answer five questions. So let's get started. What is your favourite food? Why do you like it? Is there any food you'd dislike? If yes, what is it? Where do you usually shop for food? Do you prefer to eat in or to eat out? Why? What Russian dishes would you recommend to a foreigner? Thank you very much for your interview. Возможный вариант ответа: Question 1: What is your favourite food? Why do you like it? My favourite food is pelmeni, which are traditional Russian dumplings filled with meat. I like them because they are delicious, filling, and remind me of family dinners when my grandmother used to make them for us. Question 2: Is there any food you'd dislike? If yes, what is it? Yes, I really dislike olives and pickled vegetables because I find their taste too salty and bitter for my palate. I also try to avoid very spicy food because it upsets my stomach. Question 3: Where do you usually shop for food? I usually shop for food at the local supermarket near my house because it has a wide selection of fresh products and reasonable prices. Sometimes, I also visit the farmers' market on weekends to buy fresh vegetables, fruit, and dairy products directly from local producers. Question 4: Do you prefer to eat in or to eat out? Why? I prefer to eat in because home-cooked food is healthier and cheaper, and I know exactly what ingredients are used. However, I do enjoy eating out occasionally with my friends to try new cuisines and celebrate special occasions. Question 5: What Russian dishes would you recommend to a foreigner? I would definitely recommend borscht, which is a hearty beetroot soup served with sour cream, because it's one of the most famous Russian dishes. I would also suggest blini, which are thin pancakes that can be served with sweet or savoury fillings, and, of course, pelmeni, as they are a true taste of Russian home cooking.
