38.1. Nowadays IT becomes more and more popular and many people are fond of it. The aim of the project I am currently working on is to find out why IT career is very popular among Zetland teenagers. As part of my project, I have found a table containing some relevant data that I am going to comment on.
According to the data, teenagers in Zetland have quite a wide range of benefits when it comes to choosing IT career. It is clear, that the majority of the respondents consider that working in IT field provides good salary, at 33%. Also, working from home as well as having a kind of creative work seem to be essential for many interviewed (20% and 14% respectively).
It is worth mentioning that the variety of vacancies makes the adolescents think about IT career more than the opportunity to constant development. To my mind, modern teenagers first of all think how to find a job.
However, there are some problems can arise with some IT jobs. For instance, IT programmers usually work from home according to their own schedule. The problem is that they may have sleep problems as they spend a lot of time in front of the screen. One solution to this problem is to use special application that could remind them to go outside and have a rest.
In conclusion, I firmly believe that IT becomes an essential part of modern world. I hope people can learn more improving their logical skills as well as creative ones by being engaged in programming. (260 words)
38.2. Many people believe that birthday is a special holiday for everyone. The aim of the project I am currently working on is to find out what gifts Zetland teenagers would like to receive for their birthdays. As part of my project, I have found and analyzed some relevant data presented in the pie chart.
According to the data, there is quite a wide range of presents teenagers traditionally would like to have. It is clear that a great number of the respondents consider a laptop the best gift (25%). Moreover, headphones as well as a camera also seem to be desired presents among the teenagers (23% and 20% respectively).
Surprisingly, only 8% of the respondents think of receiving a gift certificate as birthday presents. It is three times less popular answer than having a smartphone. To my mind, modern teenagers are interested in electronic devices, so that they always would like to have the latest ones.
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. To choose the best one for my friend I think of his interests. Also, I always try to make a surprise. (243 words)
