In the era of new technologies, it is not difficult to guess which interests are becoming paramount for modern youth. According [with|to|of] the results of the survey, the most popular [pastime|seeing off|class] was on the internet. The internet has become a "window" into the world for teenagers. Here you can chat, look at other people's pages, comment, and have your own account. Along with the internet, the following hobbies come to us, [who|which|why] are also very popular. [This|These|Those] are blogging, photo and video shooting, which also includes [selfies|selvies|selfes]. Teenagers start filming their whole day, sharing every step. [Despite|Although|On the one hand], it's interesting. [After all|On the one hand|To begin with], this is how we learn that teenagers live in different countries, with different interests. On the other hand, all day filming our lives being busy editing stories, writing texts for posts. It takes [few|a lot of|many] time and the rest of life goes by the wayside.

[On the one hand|To begin with|Also], among the interests were found [looking|watching|seeing] films and TV series. [As|How|While] dozens of new films and TV series are released every day, and it is simply impossible to have time to watch all of them. Nevertheless, many bloggers also use impressions from watched movies for their channel and account. Well, a [less|most|few] popular type of pastime is meeting with friends. Modern youth spends little time outdoors even if they go out for a walk, they still find themselves in the area of the internet connection.

[Personally|To begin with|In conclusion], it was sad for me to see that the life of a modern person is too closely connected with computers and other devices and has replaced traditional hobbies such as sports, reading, drawing. It is [well-known|popular|celebrated] that such types of hobbies give physical activity, creativity, generation of ideas and give new impressions. I [will|shall|would] also advise teenagers to walk more, [waste|use|spend] time in nature and with their family. This is an important part of life. I try to travel or go to the countryside once every three months. This helps me to get used to and relax from the hustle and bustle of a fast-moving world.
40.1
\(\boxed{40.2}\) Imagine that you are doing a project on most popular subcultures among young people. You have collected 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 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 teenage issues and suggest the way of solving it;
  • draw a conclusion giving your personal opinion on the issues that why such subcultures are the most popular.

Now read the sample piece of writing below and choose the correct options to complete the text.

Subcultures [through|among|across] modern teenagers are especially popular now. They are global, as with the advent of the Internet, more and more people have learned about their [existence|reproduction|extinction].

According [with|to|of] the survey results, a large [size|number|room] of teenagers are Tumblr girls. They fill their blog [of|with|out] beautiful photos, fashionable clothes and makeup. It is also important to take a picture in the most successful pose. [To|In|For] my opinion, photos of such girls have [many|more|little] to do with who they are in real life. A lot of [photoshop|photomarket|photomagazine] is used in [this|that|these] photos, the clothes are most often not branded. It is difficult to [say|ask|tell] about their personality even through a photo. They all look [like|alike|dislike]. Goths of the new generation [which|who|how] wear black, but already sportswear, are also very popular now. I believe that this subculture does not have a [massage|message|SMS] like traditional Goths. On the [two|first|one] hand, they do not walk around cemeteries, on the other hand, fraudsters and lawbreakers are increasingly being found among them. Stalkers are less popular. [Any|Some|Much] of them are inspired by computer games and dream of repeating the [road|path|ride] of their favorite character. But it's very life-threatening.

Moreover, subcultures give teenagers the opportunity to protest and show their individuality, however, they are too fanatical about this or that subculture. [To|As|Of] a result, they put their lives in danger or fall under a bad influence.

I'm not really interested in subcultures. If I had to choose. I'd take the book club and the sports section. I am for a more traditional approach in choosing interests.
