Dear Ann,
Thanks for your letter. It was nice to hear from you again. Anyway, you ask me
about my favorite sport, most popular indoor sports with teenagers in my
country and why teenagers do extreme sports.
Well, my favorite sport is basketball. Of course, volleyball, basketball and
football are the most popular indoor sports with teenagers in my country.
Actually, teens do extreme sports because doing extreme sports makes them proud
of themselves.
Got the go now. My mother called me. Hope to hear from you again. Write me back

All the best,
Alex

The summer marathon run
Hi Tracy!
Thanks for the
email. It was nice to hear from you . Thanks a lot for the invitation to
the traditional summer marathon, it is very nice that you thought of me. Well,
you see I’m not fit enough to run such a long distance and I don’t really enjoy
running in the city.
Could we go on a bike trip to the countryside instead? Can we register for a cross- country run ? Shall we register for a local
tennis tournament ?
Got to go now.
It’s time for my favourite TV show. Hope to hear from you again. Write me back

Love,

Some people
support the idea that public
libraries are very useful while others believe that they are becoming less popular.
In my opinion, public
libraries are not very useful today. First, it
is difficult to find a necessary book there. What is more,
people do not always want to go to the library.
Sometimes they prefer to stay at home and read books from their computers. For
example, if it is rainy and cold outside or if they are ill. Finally, library books
are not so beautiful as modern electronic devices.
However, there
are opponents of this view who believe that
computers are very harmful for our
sight. They also state
that electronic books are too expensive
and it is better to take something to read in the library.
Nevertheless, I cannot agree with this
point of view. Modern devices are safe for
people’s sight. Besides, special
glasses can be used for reading books from the computer screen. Moreover, cheap electronic
books can easily be found in every shop.
To conclude, although
some people find that public libraries are still
popular, I believe that
they will soon disappear because smart modern devices are more convenient for
reading books.
ESSAY. WHAT DO YOU TREAT AS MORE IMPORTANT APPEARANCE OR PERSONALITY?
Some people support the idea that appearance is more important than personality, while others treat appearance as less important.
Personally I take personality more seriously. Firstly, I enjoy talking to interesting people. Secondly, some people who have done something special for others don't look very beautiful for example Chulpan Hamatova. Finally, skinny models are not always clever.
However, there are opponents of this view who prefer appearance to personality. They state that perfect teeth and a sexy body are more important than a good character.
Nevertheless, I am convinced that a lively personality it is one of the most important things which I'm looking for in people around me. This makes a soul beautiful and attracts my attention. Moreover, many young girls who started reading glossy magazines and looking at photos of slender models and film stars all the time spring into dieting and become really ill. As usual, they end in anorexia. It's terrible!
In conclusion I would like to say that although some people find that appearance is more important than personality. I take personality more seriously.

The start of a new academic year is a real drag.
1. The start of a new academic year is a drag for most of the students.
2. The start of the new school year.
3. It can be difficult to get back into the strict routine of academic life.
4. It can be difficult to return to the challenges of academic life.
5. School holidays are great : weeks of freedom from responsibility, assignments, early mornings and academic pressures (while at school students often experience amounts of pressure) no matter what way students spend their holidays: either they take things easy with long lazy days in front of the TV or their holidays are jam- packed with exciting activities and adventures.
1. The start of the new school year is an opportunity to start learning again on a fresh note.
2. It's the opportunity to get a head -start on all those upcoming projects, intimidating goals and crucial grades.
3. Students are motivated back into action. They are inspired afresh.
4. To get ready to return to challenges of academic life.
5. Students reassess their goals. They set themselves mini challenges that force them to engage with their studies.They make targets that are achievable. ( Update concrete goals.) It is a useful tool for getting yourself back on track.
6. Students remind themselves of why they are learning : for example to bag a dream job or to win the respect of their peers.
Does everyone love summer?
Everyone
loves the summer. The days are long, the weather is hot, and school is out. For
most people, this season provides many opportunities to have fun, do
interesting things, or just relax.
Many
people in the United States go somewhere on vacation during the summer. They
travel across the country to visit famous places, or they stay closer to home
and go camping or visit a beach on the ocean or on a lake. Americans travel by
plane and by car. The highways are busy. Hotels and restaurants are busy too.
For
people who stay close to home, the beach is a popular destination. It's a place
where kids and adults can go swimming, or they can just sit on the warm sand
and soak up the sun. Children play in the sand while adults supervise activity
in and out of the water. During an occasional heat wave, beaches and community
swimming pools are crowded with people seeking relief from the heat.
There
are also many festivals and cultural activities to attend in the summer. At
state and county fairs, farmers exhibit their animals. They also put on display
the crops that they grow and the machinery that they use to grow the crops.
Rides and amusements keep everyone laughing and having a good time. Almost
every town and city has some kind of summer event where the public is invited.
Some
people just like to stick around the house in the summer and take it easy. They
tend to their gardens and maintain their homes. They invite their friends over
for backyard barbeques and stay up late at night while their children play games
and look for fireflies.
In
June, fruit trees begin to show their potential for the summer and fall
harvests. Cherries and plums are ready to pick by July and August. Apples
aren't ready until September or October. If you don't have a fruit tree in your
backyard, you can visit your local farmers' market and find locally grown
fruit. It's cheaper than the fruit sold at the grocery store, and it's usually
organic.
Summer
seems to linger on longer than the other seasons; however, all summers come to
an end eventually. The sun rises a little later each day and sets a little
earlier. Families make preparations for a return to school after Labor Day, and
before you know it, summer is over. Cooler temperatures, shorter daylight
hours, and autumn air bring forth a new season.

dislikes about: cooking, eating cabbage, Russian food, yoghurt and takeaway
food for example. So, all classmates are fond of Russian food (like me ),43% of
them like cabbage,38% of my class-fellows enjoy cooking, 73% of the respondents
dislike takeaway food( I don’t like it either),26% of the classmates don’t like

Everyone is
supposed to like watching films but different genres. Some people are fond of
comedies while others are mad about actions.It is interesting to get to know
what genres of films are popular in Zetland. I did some research on the subject
and now can come up with the answer.
I would
like to report the main facts. Firstly, most of the respondents which is about
27,1 % prefer watching adventure films. Secondly, nearly half the
respondents from Zetland (18,7%) find watching action films quite enjoyable.
When it comes to thriller films they appear to be popular only among 4,1% of Zetland’s
population, which is the lowest percentage.
Looking at the
data more closely I can see that adventure films are watched by the vast
majority of the respondents (27,1%). On the contrary, just a small number of
respondents (4,1) adore watching thriller films.
One problem that
can arise with seeing movies is that you can get addicted to this pastime. I
suppose the best way of solving the problem is to take up a new hobby.
In conclusion, I would like to say that despite the problems connected with watching films they are an essential part
of our life of course, people prefer different genres as tastes differ.

Imagine that you are doing a project on the price of gold. You have
collected some data on the subject (see the diagram below).
Comment on the data in the diagram and
give your personal opinion on the subject of the project.
Write 200−250
words. Use the following plan:
— make an opening statement on the subject
of the project work;
— select and report 2−3 main features;
— make 1−2 comparisons where relevant;
— outline a problem that can arise with
the price of gold and suggest the way of solving it;
— draw a conclusion giving your personal
opinion on the importance of gold in human life
Obviously, the price of gold is supposed to change. The
project work research reveals rises in price of gold as well as declines of the
price from 1920 to 2020
Taking another precise look at the data
allows to determine the price of gold of 2800 dollars from 1980 as the highest
one in nearly hundred years compared to the price of gold of 300 dollars from
1920which appears to be the smallest of all from 1920 until 2020
One problem that can arise with the
price of gold is that it can affect inflation and consumer prices
One problem that can arise with the
price of gold is that people can lose their money if the price of gold becomes
high One should try to fix a world
economy and golden stock larger
Obviously, the
price of gold is supposed to change. The project work
research reveals rises in price of gold as well as declines of the price from
1920 to 2020
Main
features report suggests to admit three rises ( including a sharp rising from 1980)
and three declines of the price of gold within a hundred of years
Taking another precise look at the data allows to
determine the price of gold of 2800 dollars from 1980 as the highest one in
nearly hundred years compared to the price of gold of 300 dollars from
1920which appears to be the smallest of all from 1920 until 2020
One problem that can arise with the price of gold is
that it can affect inflation and consumer prices which devastate the economy One should try to get
the price of gold more sustainable
In conclusion I would like to say that people should
pay a lot of attention to the price of gold as it is one of the important
factors the economy depends on

Basically everyone is

Taking another precise look at the data allows to

world population
Apparently,
population number is supposed to change. The project work research reveals gradual population growth from 1960 to 2020.
Main
features report suggests that a population of about 8 billion people on earth was reached in 2020 which exceeds the world population of 3 billion from 1960.
Taking another precise look at the data allows to determine population number of 3 billion as the smallest one compared to population number of 8 billion from 2020 which appears to be the highest of all from 1960 until 2020. Obviously,the population growth rate has almost doubled since 1960.
One problem that can arise with the global population is that if it grows overall we will face constrained resources.I suppose the best way of solving the problem is to develop technologies as they can overcome any production shortages or environmental damage
One problem that can arise with the population groth is constrained resources.The proper way to tackle the problem is to develop technologies as they can overcome production shortages or environmental damage
In conclusion I would like to say that one should pay a lot of attention to population growth rate as it is one of the important factors which helps to bala

— draw a conclusion giving your personal
opinion on the importance of newspapers
Basically, the
number of newspaper firms is supposed
to change. The project work research reveals gradual decline of these
firms from 2000 to 2012.
Main features report suggests that newspaper firms number of about 6200 was reached in 2000 which definitely exceeds the number of newspaper
firms of 4500 from 2012.
Taking another precise look at the data allows to
determine the number of newspaper firms
of 4500 as the smallest one in nearly 5 years compared to newspaper firms number of 6200 from 2000 which appears to
be the highest of all from 2000 until 2012. Obviously, the number of newspaper firms has decreased by 72% from 2000 to 2012.
One problem that can arise with newspaper firms decline is that people can presumably face the shortage of
newspapers of all kinds . I suppose to significantly invest in newspaper
firms is the best way for
people to emerge from the situation. It
seems to be difficult to impliment,
though
In conclusion I would like to show support for reading newspapers as they are an
essential part of our life. Obviously, reading newspapers brings a lot of
joy and it must be the case for long!

40.2 Imagine that you are doing a
project on how frequently teenagers in Russia use social media. You
have found some data on the subject — the results of the opinion polls (see the
diagram below).
Comment on the data in the diagram and give your opinion on the subject
of the project.
How frequently teenagers in Russia use social media
Write 200−250 words.
Use the following plan:
— make an opening statement on the subject of the project;
— select and report 2−3 facts;
— make 1−2 comparisons where relevant;
— outline a problem that can arise with using social media in Russia and
suggest a way of solving it;
— conclude by giving your opinion on the reasons why teens use social
media
1 More
than once a day
2 Do not use
social media
3 Once
a week
4 Less
than weekly
5 Once
a day
Obviously, the frequency of social media
use among teenagers is different. The project work research reveals how often
teenagers in Russia use social media
Main features report suggests that 70%
of teenagers use social media more than once a day while only 18% of teenagers
do not use social media at all
Taking another precise look at the data
allows to determine the percentage of teenagers who use social media once a day (which is about 2 %) as the smallest one compared to the percentage of teenagers using social media
more than once a day (70%) which appears to be the highest of all
One problem that can arise with using
social media is that teenagers are likely to spend less time outside with their
friends and family. I suppose the best way of solving the problem is to reduce the
time spent in social media
In conclusion I would like to say that
teens in Russia use social media for different reasons. They use it not only
for chatting but to self-educate
Basically, the frequency people use
social media with is different. The project
work research reveals how often teenagers in Russia use social media.
I’d like to report the main facts. As it
can be seen from the diagram most of the respondents ( about 70 %)use social
media more than once a day while almost a quarter of the respondents (18%) don’t
use social media at all
Looking at the data more closely I can
see that the vast majority of the teenagers which is 70% use social media more
than once a day. On the contrary, just a little number of the respondents (
only 2 %) use social media once a day or less than weekly.
One problem that can arise with using
social media is that younger generation spend too much time in the internet and
forget about real life. I suppose the best way of solving the problem is to
take up a new hobby.
In conclusion I would like to say that
despite some problems connected with social media it is an essential part of teenagers’
life as they use it quite often and for many reasons: to study, to communicate and
others
How frequently teenagers in Russia use
social media
Obviously, social media is an essential
way of communication in Russia nowadays. As part of my project work on “ How
frequently teenagers in Russia use social media” I found some relevant data on
the subject illustrating the results of the opinion polls. I have analyzed the
data and come across some interesting findings.
As can be seen from the diagram, the
majority of Russian respondents( 70 %) use social media more than once a day.18%
of teenagers do not use social media at all which is quite surprising. The
third most popular answer is “ once a week” which is 8%.
Taking another precise look at the data allows
to admit the considerable difference between another two numbers. There are ten
times more teenagers who do not use social media at all than teenagers who use
it less than weekly. Besides, the same number of teenagers use social network less
than weekly and once a day which is 2%.
Although using social media seems
attractive it may also cause some problems. For example, one problem that can
arise with using it is getting caught in harmful sites full of unverified
information.The best way for parents to tackle this problem is to make sure that the sites their children visit are verified.
To conclude, I firmly believe that social media is a powerful tool nowadays that is why teenagers use it. It helps them with studying working and communication

3 graders
As can be seen from the diagram, the 3d graders’
interests in karate and origami, painting, dancing and drama, as well as in playing football, hockey and playing the guitar, swimming and geology are eaqual
which is 7%. Just a bigger number of children like choir which is 15%, and
again 15% of them are into painting
7 graders
As for 7th graders, the smallest number of
children /which is 7 % either/ like fishing, cooking and dancing. Children
enjoy basketball, reading and sport / 13% either/ The biggest number of all /
which is 20% either / are into painting and volleyball
10 graders
As can be seen from the 10th graders diagram,
the vast majority of my classmates which is 35% enjoy reading. A smaller number of children
which is 26% are into painting. 13% enjoy sport, 9% of them like mosaic. Quite
a small number of my classmates enjoy yoga, embroidery and dancing. Just 5% of
my classmates are into programming
8 graders
As for 8th graders, the diagram shows that the
largest number of children /which is 25% either/ are passionate about playing
volleyball, and painting, just 13% of children are into reading and board games/
again 13 %/. The least of them which is 12%
enjoy clay crafting and another 12% are into basketball
To conclude: basically, the variety of schoolmates’ hobbies is big.
The project work research reveals what hobbies are popular on a big scale. As can be seen from the diagram, the most of the respondents which is about 86% prefer
painting as a hobby. Nearly half the respondents /which is 61%/ find reading as
a hobby quite enjoyable. When it comes to doing sport, it appears to be popular only among 26 percent of the
respondents. As for dancing, playing volleyball, playing basketball, they are
fairly popular hobbies with my schoolmates. Another precise look at the data allows to determine fishing,
programming, cooking and acting as the least popular hobbies among the
respondents from my school. Apparently, it is so hard for hobbies to maintain
popularity with my schoolmates

Ros Atkins... on the rising cost of living
A look at why UK households are being hit by rising
prices and why the cost of living is likely to get worse this year.
The cost of living in the UK is rising-and it’s
changing people ‘s lives. All evidence suggests this is just the start.
High inflation. Consumer prices rose 5,4percent in the
12 months to December last year. That’s the highest rate in nearly 30
years.Energy and food prices are the main drivers of this.All of this is
affecting the cost of living.
Inflation is a global issue right now. We can see that
in many Western economies. In the US consumer price inflation is 7 percent. In
Germany it,s 5.3 percent. We are going to see an enormous rise in the energy
price cap. The energy price cap is a limit on some domestic gas and electricity
tariffs.And this cap is expected to rise by 50 percent.
So, that’s petrol and gas. The next thing we need to
look at is food prices. Because they are rising too. The reasons for the rise
in food prices are numerous. Among them are labor shortages caused by covid
And in addition to all of this wages are not keeping up. For all of
these reasons the cost of living is getting harder
