Nowadays, more and more people in the world communicate on social networks.
I am currently working on a project, which is aimed at finding out what social networks are the most popular among teenagers in Zetland. I have found a pie chart with some results of a relevant survey taken among teenagers in Zetland. As part of my project, I am going to analyse the statistics and present my findings.
Generally, the data in the table shows that, answering the question «What social networks are you using now?», the majority of respondents, 30%, choose «WeChat», while «Lacebook» accounts for 25%. «Mistagram» occupies the third position with only 22%.
It is worth mentioning that the percentage of those who prefer «WeChat» is almost 4 times as high as those who opt for «Switter». I suppose this is because «WeChat» appeared earlier and managed to collect more users than its competitors.
It goes without saying that almost everyone has an account on a social network, but there may be some problems with safety and personal data. They can be stolen by hackers or misused. The best solution to this problem is to establish extra Internet protection and regularly change the password.
In conclusion, I am sure, social networks are becoming more important for people because it is simply convenient and helpful. Such benefits like quick gaining new information, making friends, and unwinding outweigh the potential risks.

Nowadays, more and more teenagers tend to work abroad. I am currently working on a project, which is aimed at finding out what countries teens from Zetland would like to work in. I have found a pie chart with some results of a relevant survey taken among teenagers in Zetland. As part of my project, I am going to analyse the statistics and present my findings.
On the whole, the data in the table show that, answering the question «What countries would you like to work in?», the majority of the respondents, 35%, choose the option «United States» while 25% mention «India». Only 23% opt for «China».
Surprisingly, the percentages of those who prefer getting a job in Indonesia, 10%, and Pakistan, 7%, respectively, are almost the same. I suppose the respondents of those groups either were born or have their relatives in the countries.
It goes without saying that many people want to work abroad, but there may be some problems, for example, with a small salary and long adaptation. They can become very serious obstacles to having a family and their well-being. I believe the best solution to this problem is to start preparing in advance and consult those who have worked there.
In conclusion, I am sure, that working in another country is very important for everyone because they can gain new experience, new friends, develop professional skills, and widen their horizons. But it is quite challenging in terms of money and habits. However, the benefits like prosperity and career opportunities are worth the effort.

Nowadays more and more teens start using social network VK.
I am currently working on a project, which is aimed at finding out why the social network VK is so popular among teenagers in Zetland. I have found a pie chart with some results of a relevant survey taken among teenagers in Zetland. As part of my project, I am going to analyse the statistics and present my findings.
Overall, the data in the table show that, answering the question «Why do you spend time in VK?», the majority of respondents, 40%, choose the option «Most classmates use», while «Easy to use» accounts for 19%. «Homework answers» occupies the third position with only 18%.
Interestingly, the percentage of those who refer to their classmates, 40%, is more than 4 time as high as the percentage of those who find the VK content interesting. I suppose such substantial difference mirrors teens’ attitude to the question. They value communication more than searching fun.
It goes without saying that social media are becoming more and more popular, but there may be some problems with using VK, too. Personal data theft or scamming can become an obstacle to easy communication. In my opinion, the best solution to this problem is to change your password often and use secure software.
In conclusion, I am sure, VK is very important for teens because they find there whatever they need — friends, information, and entertainment. Moreover, VK is developing very quickly now and becoming one of the leading social media in its area.
