38.1. The internet has become the main source of information nowadays; a lot of people use it daily to stay up to date. While doing a project on what kinds of YouTube channels grownups in Zetland enjoy following, I have found a table containing some relevant data that I am going to comment on.
According to the data, the vast majority of the respondents prefer watching videos providing news as well as ones about conspiracy theories (60% and 55% respectively). At the same time, channels about how to cook or do something by themselves are also quite popular with the grownups, due to the opinion polls 45% of the respondents have mentioned them.
The data analysis reveals that following YouTube channels in order to get news is six times as popular as listening to music. To my mind, young singers nowadays rarely film music clips, as a result music channels are not so preferable. Meanwhile, TV and newspapers are tending towards their internet forms like YouTube channels, blogs and messengers.
There are some problems that can arise when following YouTube channels. One of them is rudeness, some followers express it in their comments from time to time. People like following channel as they can discuss topics important for them with like-minded people. Therefore, it is rather difficult not to react to unpleasant words which can really hurt. The best solution to this problem is to block users who cannot express their opinion politely.
In conclusion, I firmly believe that getting the information from various sources is very important. Bloggers sometimes express their own opinion instead of verified information. (267 words)
38.2. Sleeping enough time consider to be very important for teenagers. The aim of the project I am currently working on is to find out how many hours of sleep high school students in Zetland usually get on week days. 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 time schedule when it comes to high school students’ time management. It is clear that the most popular answers among the respondents are spending 6-7 hours for sleep and less than 6 hours (35% and 30% respectively). At the same time, 20% of the interviewed get 7-8 hours of sleep.
It is worth mentioning that the number of the respondents having enough time for sleeping, 11-12 hours is ten times less than the number of those who sleep less than 6 hours a day. Obviously, modern high school students are very busy with their studying as a result they have to prepare for their classes day and night.
There are some problems related to sleep that one can face. For instance, surfing the internet a person can forget about the time and get tired due to lack of sleep. One solution to this problem may become an application created for helping people manage their time. They will remind adults to go to bed promptly.
In conclusion, I firmly believe that a good night's sleep is very important for teenagers. It helps them recuperate after a busy day at school. (256 words)
