38.1. Many people believe that birthday is a special holiday for everyone. 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 most popular birthday presents for teenagers in Zetland.
According to the data, there is quite a wide range of presents people traditionally give teenagers for their birthdays. It is clear that the majority of the respondents (46%) consider money the best gift. Moreover, a great number of people (23%) prefer buying gadgets for teenage birthday. It is worth mentioning that chocolate is the best present for 16% of the respondents.
Surprisingly, only 9% of the respondents think of buying soft toys as birthday presents for the adolescents. It is a bit more popular answer than jewellery. To my mind, push toys seem to be childish and jewellery are commonly interesting for girls.
One problem that can arise with choosing birthday present is that sometimes people buy the same things. Unfortunately, it happens and it is unpleasant for everybody. One solution to this problem is to use special appliance where a birthday boy can write his wish list and guests can choose present to buy and tick it.
In conclusion, I firmly believe that birthday presents are very important for teenagers. They are still waiting for this magic time like in their childhood. (232 words)
38.2. Nowadays a lot of teenagers spend their free time visiting museums particularly there is a variety of museums and galleries. The aim of the project I am currently working on is to find out what museums teenagers like visiting in Zetland. As part of my project, I have found and analyzed some relevant data presented in the diagram.
According to the data, the younger generation in Zetland has quite a wide range of tastes when it comes to cultural enrichment. It is clear, that the vast majority of the respondents prefer visiting interactive museums, 70% of the teenagers have named them. Also, 18% of the interviewed adolescents like spending time going to science museums, whereas historical museums, art galleries and museums of local history appear to be the least popular places to visit.
It is worth mentioning that spending time learning local history is four times less interesting for the teenage visitors than learning history in general. To my mind, historical discoveries attract young generation more than things nearby.
One problem that can arise with visiting museums is that excursions are usually uninteresting owing to the visitors can only walk, look and listen to the guide. One solution to this problem is to organize interactive excursions so that the visitors can touch, try to use or try on copies of museums objects. It makes a visit to a museum become an adventure.
In conclusion, I firmly believe that visiting museums and art galleries plays a significant role in teenagers' life. It helps them learn something new and broaden their horizons. (261 words)
