38.1. Nowadays many people think about moving to the countryside. The purpose of the project I am currently working on is to find out more about it. As part of my project, I have found and analyzed some data on the advantages of living in the countryside in Zetland.
According to the data, there is quite a wide range of benefits of living in the countryside. It is clear that the vast majority of the respondents (40%) prefer changing their place of residence because there is less pollution. Moreover, a great number of people (26%) would not like to hear noise from neighbours. It is worth mentioning that more sunlight and fresh air are significant for 13% of the respondents.
Surprisingly, only 11% of the respondents think about meeting friendlier people nearby. It is a bit more popular answer than an opportunity of eating healthier food. To my mind, friendly neighbourhood attracts young people more than nerby farms.
One problem that can arise with living in the countryside is that there are no different fashionable shops. Thus, people living in villages cannot buy clothes, shoes and accessories of high quality. One solution to this problem is to open pick up points for online shops in every village or settlement.
In conclusion, I think that despite some problems associated with living in the countryside, it is great place for living. Nowadays comport life is affordable for the residents of the rural areas. (241 words)
38.2. Recent studies show that young people like travelling. The aim of the project I am currently working on is to find out what countries young people from Zetland would like to visit. 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 destinations where young people are going to spent their vocations. It is clear that it is not important where to go for a younger generation, 29% of the respondents have given this answer in the poll. Nevertheless, 19% of the young people consider Russia as well as the USA to be worth visiting, whereas Italy and France appear to be the least popular among young holidaymakers from Zetland.
It is worth mentioning that France with its great history and rich culture is less popular country to spend holidays than the USA. Obviously, the USA attracts tourists by its national parks and world-famous nature wonders.
One problem that can arise with organizing a trip abroad is difficulties with transportation system. For instance, it is very uncomfortable to change airplane for train in a certain city, moreover it costs a lot. One solution to this problem is to create special crossing centers where tourists can wait for their flight or train comfortably. Furthermore, multi-tickets and discounts can be provided for the convenience.
In conclusion, I firmly believe that despite some problems associated with travelling, young people like spending their holidays in different countries. It helps them develop their communication skills and broaden the horizons. (262 words)
