2) According to the pie chart, selfies (36%) rank ahead of all the photos the surveyed
teenagers post on the Internet most often, followed by pictures of sights, at 34%. Landscape
pictures make up 20% of the total, whereas photos of animals and food constitute only 7%
and 3% respectively.
3) Predictably, there is quite a large / considerable difference between the figure for selfies
and the figure for pictures of food: the former is more than five times as high as the latter /
the former is 29% higher than the latter. I think the reason is that the respondents, like many
other today’s teenagers, prefer to take and share photos of themselves rather than photos of
food.

2) According to the pie chart, hands-on practice (29%) is the most common reason
why the surveyed young people prefer learning offline. It is followed by immediate
feedback from teachers, social interaction and extracurricular activities, at 27%,
15% and 14% respectively.
3) To compare, a fixed learning schedule makes up only 5% of the total. This figure is
24% lower than the figure for hands-on practice. I think the difference between
these figures is so substantial because the respondents, like many other modern
young people, prefer to learn by doing and consider the opportunity to apply new
skills more important than a structured schedule. – предположение

3) Predictably, there is quite a large / considerable difference between the figure for music
and the figure for love and friendship: the former is more than four times as high as the latter
/ the former is 27% higher than the latter. I think this is because the polled teenagers, like
many / most teenagers/young people today, enjoy playing and listening to music of different
genres and dislike discussing or reading about such personal matters as love and friendship.

3) Predictably, the figure for a laptop and the figure (the one for / that
for) for a smartphone are almost identical: the former is only 1% higher /
a mere 1% higher than the latter. There is nothing surprising about this
because hi-tech products such as laptops and smartphones play an
essential part in a modern teenager’s life and are equally important for
today’s teenagers.

3) Predictably, there is quite a large difference between the figure for a laptop
and the figure for a gift certificate: the former is more than three times as high
as the latter / the former is 17% higher than the latter. There is nothing
surprising about this difference because hi-tech products such as laptops are
an essential part of modern teenagers’ lives, and the balance of a gift card is
usually not sufficient for buying something as expensive as a laptop.

2) According to the data, the respondents were asked, “Who is your favourite Russian
composer?” The two most common responses to this question are Pyotr Tchaikovsky and Igor
Stravinsky, at 30% and 29% respectively. Dmitri Shostakovich comes third with 21% of the
vote, and Sergei Prokofiev and Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov rank the lowest, constituting 12% and
8% respectively.
3) Predictably, there is only a minor difference between the figure for Pyotr Tchaikovsky
and the figure for Igor Stravinsky: the former is a mere 1% higher than the latter. I do not
find this surprising because / I think the reason for this difference is that Pyotr Tchaikovsky
and Igor Stravinsky are two of the most popular composers of all time and both are
recognized internationally for their great musical masterpieces.

Tchaikovsky’s music is more recognized in the world and he is far more popular than Nikolai
Rimsky-Korsakov.
