Imagine that you are doing a project on the most dangerous environmental problems. You have found some data on the subject – the results of a survey conducted among young Zetlanders (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 is the most dangerous ecological problem today? Problems | Number of respondents (%) Melting ice caps and glaciers | 46 Air pollution | 20 Plastic pollution | 19 Deforestation | 10 Overflowing landfills | 5 Write 200–250 words. – 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 the environment in your region and suggest a way of solving it; – conclude by giving and explaining your opinion on the importance of environmental protection for young people.

Возможный вариант ответа: The project I am currently working on aims to find out what young Zetlanders consider the most dangerous ecological problem today. 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 is the most dangerous ecological problem today?" is "Melting ice caps and glaciers" (46%), followed by "Air pollution" (20%). The least frequently chosen option is "Overflowing landfills", at only 5%. Comparing the data, it is clear that the percentage of the respondents who choose "Melting ice caps and glaciers" as their response to the survey question is significantly higher than the percentage of those who opt for "Plastic pollution" (19%). This is not surprising because the melting of ice caps is directly linked to global warming, which is widely discussed in the media. Furthermore, "Air pollution" (20%) is slightly more popular than "Plastic pollution" (19%), which suggests that young people are almost equally concerned about these two pressing issues. Notably, one of the problems that can arise with the environment in my region is air pollution caused by car emissions and industrial factories. A good solution to this problem is to promote the use of public transport and electric vehicles, as well as to plant more trees in urban areas. In conclusion, I believe that environmental protection is extremely important for young people because they will inherit the planet and need to ensure a sustainable future for themselves and the next generations.

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. Being with other people is definitely a key part of happiness. There is a broad agreement among happiness researchers and scientists that social relations are essential for people's happiness. Certainly, basic living standards are essential for well-being too. Still, after the baseline has been made, happiness varies more with quality of human relationships than income. People have a basic need to feel connected with others, and close, caring bonds with other people play a major part in our motivation and behaviour. We are social creatures, and the importance of this is clearly seen when one compares the satisfaction people feel in relationships with their overall satisfaction with life. The most important social relationships appear to be the ones where you experience things together with others, sharing thoughts and feelings as well as giving and receiving support.

You are going to give an interview. You have to answer five questions. Give full answers to the questions (2-3 sentences). Remember that you have 40 seconds to answer each question.

Hello everybody. It's Teenagers Round the World Channel. Our guest today is a teenager from Russia and we are going to discuss climate. We'd like to know our guest's point of view on this issue. Please answer five questions. So let's get started. What part of Russia do you live in? What's the climate like in your region? Have you observed any changes in the climate of your region lately? What are they, if any? Do weather forecasts usually turn out to be right for your region? What is your favorite season? Why? What kind of climate would you prefer to live in? Thank you very much for your interview. Возможный вариант ответа: Question 1: What part of Russia do you live in? What's the climate like in your region? I live in the central part of Russia, in Moscow. The climate here is temperate continental, which means we have cold, snowy winters and warm, sometimes hot summers, with distinct seasons in between. Question 2: Have you observed any changes in the climate of your region lately? What are they, if any? Yes, I have noticed some changes in the climate of my region lately. Winters seem to be milder with less snow than before, while summers are becoming hotter and more prone to sudden thunderstorms and heavy rainfall. Question 3: Do weather forecasts usually turn out to be right for your region? Weather forecasts are generally reliable for my region, especially for the next one or two days. However, they often become less accurate when predicting weather for a whole week ahead, because the climate here can be quite changeable. Question 4: What is your favorite season? Why? My favorite season is autumn because the weather is not too hot and not too cold, and the trees turn beautiful shades of yellow, orange, and red. I also love the cozy atmosphere of rainy days, when you can stay indoors with a warm drink and a good book. Question 5: What kind of climate would you prefer to live in? I would prefer to live in a milder climate with warm summers and cool, but not freezing, winters. I think a Mediterranean climate would be ideal for me because it would allow me to spend more time outdoors and enjoy nature throughout the year.
