40.1. Sports are important in many people’s lives and are a vital part of a healthy life. People who do sports are generally happier and more productive. My project, which I am still working on, is aimed at finding out what kinds of sports are popular in the modern world. 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 more than 11% of people play football, making this sport the single most popular one. The second feature is that only 6.7% of people reported doing athletics, putting this activity at the bottom of the table.
It is also worth mentioning that football is only slightly more popular than volleyball, with only 0.4% more people who practice it.
In my opinion, the statistics in the table reveal an important problem. We can see that most people do not do any kind of sports daily, which can lead to public health issues. I think that in order to solve this problem schools should focus more on PE lessons.
In conclusion, I believe that sports are an essential part of the modern world. Not only are they fun, they’re also great at promoting a healthier way of living and can lead to a better life.

40.2. Different kinds of transport are important in every person’s lives and are a fundamental aspect of their commute through their surroundings. My project, which I am still working on, is aimed at finding out what kinds of transportation are more popular in Japan. I have found some data on this issue and organized it in the chart below.
I can identify two main features according to the statistics presented in the chart. The first one is that the majority of people use the train, making this way of commuting the most popular one. The second feature is that commuting by motorbike is the least popular in Japan, while the second most popular one is commuting by car.
It is also worth mentioning that commuting by bus is slightly more popular than by walking.
In my opinion , the statistics in the chart reveal an important problem. We can see that the most used vehicle for commuting is by train, which can lead to higher concentrations of CO2 in the air. I think that in order to solve this problem the government should promote the initiative of commuting with eco-friendly alternatives.
In conclusion, I believe that promoting eco-friendly alternatives like electrical scooters or bicycles around the city is a great way to decrease the concentration of CO2 in the air. It will also promote a healthier and sustainable lifestyle.
