38.1. Many people believe that there are different ways of spending summer holidays. The aim 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 how teenagers spend their summer holidays in Zetland.
According to the data, the adolescents have quite a wide range of things to do when they have summer holidays. It is clear that the majority of the respondents prefer staying at home, 39% of them have given this answer. Moreover, about a quarter of the teenagers visit their relatives. Going to the seaside and to the mountains is also quite popular among teenage holidaymakers (17% and 14% respectively).
It is worth mentioning that going to a summer camp is at the end of the table. Surprisingly, more teenagers prefer spending their summer time with their families than with thier peers.
One problem that can arise with spending summer holidays 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 holidaymakers can wait for their flight or train comfortably. Furthermore, multi-tickets and discounts can be provided for the convenience.
In conclusion, I think that the best way of spending summer holiday is a family trip to the mountains. This type of holidays provides families with the opportunities to become closer and enjoy the nature. (251 words)
38.2. Nowadays young people have lots of interests as well as problems they would like to share with their friends. The aim 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 what topics teenagers discuss during the breaks at school in Zetland.
According to the data, the youth in Zetland have quite a wide range of things to speak about. The vast majority of the respondents discuss popular games and songs as well as school tasks and grades (35% and 24% respectively). Fashion and gadgets as well as relationships with parents and siblings are also quite popular topics for discussion with the teenagers in Zetland, whereas plans for the future appear to be the least popular theme.
It is worth mentioning that gaming and listening to music are three times as important as thoughts about the future for the adolescence. To my mind, younger generation first of all think about entertainment what is why they speak about it more often.
One problem that can arise with peers communication is that teenagers usually discuss their issues during the lessons. It is clear that breaks are too short; what is more, usually there are no places at school where students can relax. One solution to this problem is to make one break longer and create special zone at school in order to the adolescents can relax there and then concentrate on the lesson.
In conclusion, I firmly believe communication with peers is very important for teenagers. I think it can develop their social skills. (270 words)
