4. Unfortunately, teenagers can face some problems with
spending leisure time. One of them is that they cannot use their
leisure time productively and just waste it scrolling through
news feeds on their phones or watching YouTube videos. To
solve this problem, teenagers should prepare a list of interesting
and useful leisure activities and stick to it when they have free
time.

4) Unfortunately, there can be some problems with studying
online. One of them is that flexible study hours can lead to
more procrastination and less productivity. For some
students it is difficult to concentrate on learning when there
is no fixed study timetable and there is no teacher who
oversees them. To solve this problem, students should
develop an effective study plan for themselves and stick to it.

a film to watch. It occurs when they read film reviews
containing some misleading information or subjective
criticism. Because of this viewers may choose a film that they
will not enjoy. The best solution to this problem is to avoid
reading reviews when choosing a film and rely only on official
trailers.

• Apparently, there are many advantages IN living in the countryside.
However, there are disadvantages too. One of the problems is a lack
of entertainment. (Indeed, most opportunities for entertaining oneself
are now concentrated in urban areas.) To solve this problem,
governments and businesses should invest money into creating such
opportunities not only for big city dwellers but also for those who live
in the countryside.

- Although there are many advantages in going to a youth
camp, there are certain disadvantages. One problem is that
some teenagers feel uncomfortable when they come to a
camp because they find themselves surrounded by complete
strangers and have to participate in many different activities.
To solve this problem, teenagers and their parents should
choose smaller youth camps with a flexible routine and a
relaxing environment.

– outline a problem with choosing a holiday destination and suggest a way of solving it;
- Although choosing a holiday destination is usually
associated with positive emotions (is usually a very positive
experience), there can be some problems. One of them is
that there are now too many holiday destinations to choose
from. With so many places available, it can be really difficult
for some people to make a choice. A good solution to this
problem is to read some reviews on reliable travel review
sites and choose the most popular holiday destination.

opinion poll question “Why have you chosen an IT career?” is a
good salary (33%), whereas the least common response is
constant development (8%). The other three responses/reasons

3. ИЛИ:
2. According to the data, the most common response to the
opinion poll question “Why have you chosen an IT career?” is
“Good salary” (33%). “Many vacancies” comes third with 25% of
the vote, followed by “Working from home” and “Creative work”,
at 20% and 14% respectively. “Constant development” is the
least popular response, making up only 8% of the total.

3. Сравнение (1-2):
3. Interestingly, there is quite a considerable difference
between the top and the bottom figures in the table. In fact, the
figure for a good salary is 25% higher than that for constant
development. I think the reason is that the respondents, like
many other young people today, want to feel secure in life and
attach far more importance to financial stability than to selfdevelopment.

ergonomic equipment, use blue light filters and take regular breaks at
work.

respectively.
3. Interestingly, there is quite a considerable difference between the figure for relaxing at home and the
one for going to the cinema: the former is 35% higher than the latter. This is probably because the
respondents feel too tired to go to the cinema after a busy week and prefer watching films at home.
4. Although relaxing at home at the weekend is generally a good idea, it has some disadvantages. One
problem is that instead of having a rest, people do household chores and get more tired. A good
solution to this problem is to make a list of domestic chores and carry out some duties during the
working week, minimizing the number of chores done at weekends.
5. In conclusion, I would like to say that despite some disadvantages of staying at home for the
weekend, for me it is the best way to spend my weekends. I think that it is the most effective way to
recharge my batteries and prepare for another working week. (270 w.)
