According to the data, there is quite a wide range of ways people can travel by. It is clear that going by car is at the top of the table, 41% of the respondents have chosen it. Travelling by train as well as by bus are also quite popular answers with 28% and 21%, whereas flying and hitchhiking appear to be the least favorite ways of travelling in Zetland.
It is worth mentioning that car is six times as popular as plane when it comes to means of transport. Obviously, travelling by car provides wider range of opportunities, such as visiting small towns and villages, tasting local food and admiring picturesque sceneries.
One problem that can arise with travelling is that the cost is rather high. Tourism nowadays is very important industry providing working places to local people. So that, it is necessary to find a way how to minimize the cost of travel in order to more people will be able to afford it. For instance, a system of reclaiming parts of the spent money should be introduced.
In conclusion, I think that the best way of travelling for me is flying. Actually, I prefer relaxing to spending much time on the road. (258 words)
38.2. Household chores consider to be an essential part of human life. The aim of the project I am currently working on is to find out what household chores young people in Zetland mostly do at home. As part of my project, I have found and analyzed some relevant data presented in the diagram.
According to the data, there is quite a wide range of household chores what teenagers do at home. It is clear that tiding their room is at the top of the table, 39% of the respondents have named it. Walking the dog as well as washing up are also quite popular answers with 20% and 18%, whereas doing shopping and taking out the rubbish appear to be the least popular ways to help about the house among the adolescents in Zetland.
It is worth mentioning that cleaning up the mess in the room is two times as preferable as doing the washing up when it comes to household chores. Obviously, teenagers think more about their own place, as usual they do not want their parents to come in.
One problem that can arise with household chores is that the teenagers do not help at all. It becomes a great problem for their parents. So that, it is necessary to find a way how to explain the importance of house work. For instance, a system of lectures about doing household chores as an essential part of grown-up life should be hold is schools.
In conclusion, I think that household chores should be shared equally among all the members of the family. Although, it is dull, it must be done. (270 words)
