38.1. Many people believe that preparation for exams is an essential part of schooling and there is a lot of ways to do it. 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 the most popular means of preparation for exams among students in Zetland.
According to the data, the students have quite a wide range of opportunities to get ready for exams. It is clear that the majority of the respondents prefer getting tutors as well as using online platforms to improve their knowledge and prepare for exams (48% and 32% respectively). However, test books are not so popular among students in Zetland, only 12% of the respondents chooses them to practice.
It is worth mentioning that school clubs are less popular than online platforms. To my mind, the education via the internet is fast developing industry, it provides different kinds and forms of schooling. All the more, it is important in order to prepare for exams.
One problem that students often face preparing for exams is that they are not ready psychologically for their examination. It is hard for them to do their best in new conditions. One solution to this problem is to create special centres where graduates can learn more about the procedure and test themselves under psychologists’ supervision.
In conclusion, I firmly believe well-organized preparation for exams allows students in Zetland feel themselves more comfortably and do their best. I think high grade getting for the final test is the best start in life. (269 words)
38.2. Many people believe that schooling is an essential part of human’s life and there are lots of ways to live it. 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 aim of schooling for teenagers in Zetland.
According to the data, the adolescents have quite a wide range of interests at school. It is clear that the vast majority of the respondents (45%) go to school in order to gain knowledge. Moreover, a great number of them (25%) find new friends there and spending time together becomes more and more important for teenagers. It is worth mentioning that getting high grades for the final test is significant for 15% of the respondents.
Surprisingly, only 6% of the teenagers think about their behaviour going to school. It is six times less popular answer than getting knowledge. To my mind, this question is mostly brought up by teachers and parents than by students.
One problem that can arise with schooling is that teenagers usually skip lessons and their parents do not know about it. One solution to this problem is to create special software than can sent messages to parents if their child comes to school or not.
In conclusion, I firmly believe that despite some problems associated with schooling, it is a great period of life for teenagers in Zetland. I think the adolescents could keep good memories about their school time. (253 words)
