Lesson 11
Homework
• Body 1:
• The share of people moving to the UK to
have a definite job was similar to that of
people moving out of the country for
the same reason, with the respective
figures being 30% and 29%. A similar
pattern was also seen in the proportions
of both immigrants and emigrants
accompanying someone to or from the
UK, which were 15% and 13% in that
order.
• Body 2:
• The percentage of people moving to the UK to
pursue a formal education (26%) was much/
significantly higher than that of their emigrant
counterparts, which was only 4%. Conversely,
the proportion of people who left the UK to look
for work far exceeded that of those who came
to the UK for the same reason, and the figures
were 22% and 12% respectively. Finally, 32% of
emigrants gave no reason or other reasons for
their movement, while only 17% of immigrants
did so.
for no reason
Homework
• Regarding immigration, looking for a definite job
was the most popular reason for people to
come to the UK, with a figure of 30%. Pursuing
a formal study was slightly less popular, as 26%
of immigrants gave this reason. Meanwhile, the
percentages of people migrating to the UK to
accompany someone or to look for work were
much lower, at 15% and 12% respectively.
Finally, while only 6% of immigrants stated no
reason for their movement, 11% of these
people gave other unspecified reasons.
• Body 2:
• As for emigration, the proportion of UK
residents moving out of this country to look for
a definite job was also the highest, at 29%.
Looking for work was also a popular reason for
their movement, with 22% of them giving this
reason, compared to 18% giving no reason. By
contrast, 13% of UK citizens migrated from this
country to join someone, while only 4% did so
to pursue a formal education. Lastly, those
giving other reasons accounted for 14% of UK
emigrants.
Discussion - Lots of info
• The bar chart illustrates how often
people in different age groups
exercise.
• Overall, it is clear that people in all
age brackets are most likely to work
out once or multiple times a week.
• Regarding categories with the highest levels of
participation, those aged 18 to 40 are more likely than
those in the 41-60 and 60 plus age groups to do exercise
more than once a week, with the respective figures
being 40%, 35% and 20%. An opposite pattern can be
seen in the figures for these age brackets/ categories
exercising weekly, which were 20%, 25% and 40%
respectively.
• As for categories with much lower figures, they never
exceeded 15%. The percentage of people exercising on a
daily basis is smallest in almost all age bands, ranging
from 2% of those aged 60+ to 10% of 18-40-year-olds.
However, 18-40-year-olds are the least likely to work
out a few times a year, with 5% of them reporting this
level of exercise. Although the proportion of 41-60-year-
olds exercising once or twice a month is the lowest, at
10%, the figure for those in this age group never doing
exercise is the highest, at 15%.
• Regarding those aged 18-40, exercising multiple times per
week was the most popular frequency, with a figure of
40%. Those exercising weekly also accounted for a large
percentage, as 20% of people in this age group worked out
on a weekly basis. Those exercising at other frequencies
made up no more than 15% each, with the 'a few times a
year' category having the lowest figure, at 5%.
• Similar patterns can be seen in the 41-60 age group. 35% of
them did exercise several times a week, while 25% did
weekly. The percentages of those exercising at other
frequencies were also lower than 15%, and the figure for
41-60-year-olds exercising on a daily basis was the lowest,
at 5%.
• As for the oldest age group, it was the 'weekly' category that
had the highest percentage, at 40%, which was double the
figure for those working out multiple times per week. Fewer
than 15% of people aged 60+ exercised at other frequencies
each, with the 'daily group' having the lowest figure (3%).
• The chart illustrates how many
people chose different types of
holiday in 2018.
• Overall, the only similarity is that
stay-at-home holidays were the
least preferred type in all
countries.
huge variations
• Huge differences can be seen in the preference
for hiking, ranging from about 12% in South
Korea to almost 38% in New Zealand. By
contrast, people in New Zealand were the least
likely to take city holidays as only 8% of citizens
reported going to cities for a holiday, while
Chinese people preferred this type of holiday
the most, with a figure of 30%.
• Skiing holidays were similarly popular in
Australia, New Zealand, and South Korea, with
figures of around 30%, but only 20% of Chinese
people chose this type of holiday. The share of
Chinese people having beach holidays was also
smallest, at 17%, while Australians enjoyed this
option the most, at 25%. Finally, it is important
to note that fewest people in all four countries
chose to stay at home on holiday, with figures
ranging from 6% in Australia to 14% in China.

• Advertising can be beneficial to buyers (unclear). This is because adverts
can inform people about what options are available to them, allowing
them to make more informed purchasing decisions. As a result, people can
save money by avoiding buying things that do not really suit their needs
and wants. For example, a friend of mine wasted a lot of money because
he could not find a quality tutor to learn to play the guitar and had to rely
solely on his friends' feedback. However, recently, he has come across an
advertisement for guitar lessons and found a suitable class. Perhaps,
without such advertising, he might still struggle to find the right place to
learn to play this instrument.
so what (further result)? Why( reason) ? How (example)?
• Advertising may cause some problems for buyers. Firstly, many adverts are
misleading, which means that people might be persuaded into buying things that
they do not actually need. This can result in wasteful purchases and potentially
financial problems for impulsive buyers. Secondly, advertising can also be
annoying in the sense that people's viewing experience might be disrupted by
pop-up ads. Finally, many adverts portray unrealistic beauty standards, which can
negatively affect people's self-esteem and might even cause serious health
problems. For example, advertisements for plastic surgeries encourage people to
have such procedures, many have to deal with severe physical and psychological
complications after having botched operations resulting in them looking
grotesque.
Homework - Task 2
• These days, many people are shopping online instead of going to local
stores. What are the advantages and disadvantages of this trend?
• Shopping online --> shoppers (save time, money, and effort) - Buy an
ebook on Amazon --> read right away instead of having to travel to a
local bookstore.
• --> this ease to buy --> buy more --> economic growth + job creation.
Ex: delivery services.
• Buy more --> more trips must be made to deliver the purchased goods
--> environmental pollution + depletion of natural resouces.
• Local stores --> go out of business --> job losses.
Mistake-finding activity
• It is true that nowsaday a large number of people opts for online shopping
