Task 38
Imagine that you are doing a project on why some Zetland teenagers are not engaged in school-based extracurricular activities. You have found some data on the subject – the results of a survey (see the table below).
Comment on the survey data and give your opinion on the subject of the project.
The survey question:
Why are you not engaged in your school’s extracurricular activities?
Reasons | Number of respondents (%) |
|---|---|
Heavy school workload | 30 |
Participation in non-school extracurricular activities | 28 |
Scheduled at inconvenient times | 20 |
Extracurricular fees | 16 |
Family responsibilities | 6 |
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 and give your comments;
– outline a problem that one can face when participating in extracurricular activities at school and suggest a way of solving it;
– conclude by giving and explaining your opinion on how teenagers can benefit from school-based extracurricular activities.
