Интегративный подход к обучению выполнения заданий 40.1 и 40.2: анализ готовых ответов на разные варианты заданий с тренировочными упражнениями и шаблонами[2]
Writing Task 40.1 (Variant 1)
40.1 (1) Imagine that you are doing a project on what can motivate people to apply for a job in Zetland. You have found some data on the subject – the results of the opinion polls (see the table below).
Comment on the data in the table and give your 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;
– select and report 2–3 facts;
– make 1–2 comparisons where relevant;
– outline a problem that can arise with choosing a job and suggest a way of solving it;
– conclude by giving your personal opinion on the importance of a job in human life.
1. [GRAMMAR PRACTICE EXERCISE] Look at the sample answer below and transform words 1–12 in square brackets so they each have a grammatically correct form in the context where they are used. Some words must not necessarily be grammatically transformed.
Everybody agrees that before a job-seeker decides to build a stable career, they often discuss their choice with [1] [THIS] […………………………………………] who can support them. So, I recently decided to do a project on the reasons [2] [STIMULATE] […………………………………………] the citizens of Zetland to make their professional dreams come true.

If we start analyzing the information depicted in the table, we will discover that [4] [MANY] […………………………………………] of the respondents stated that their relatives’ advice was the most important incentive for a desirable job. Their percentage [5] [EQUAL] […………………………………………] 50,5%, or slightly more than a half. Another feature of the data shows that roughly one third (29,7%) of the surveyed group are sure it is career advisors who eventually [6] [AFFECT] […………………………………………] the decision on where to work.
Now it is time [7] [COMPARE] […………………………………………] some of the most remarkable figures in the table. As we can see, the number of those who mentioned famous people as the crucial reason for their career is almost twice as little as the proportion [8] [COVER] […………………………………………] those who selected experts on professions and job offers. In [9] [ANOTHER] […………………………………………] words, the correlation between the two groups is 15.7% against 29.7%.
In my view, a worrying problem that regards [10] [CHOOSE] […………………………………………] a job is that young people often fail to find a compromise between their interests and wishful salary. Personally, I see one substantial solution here: special [11] [ACCREDIT] [………………………………………] representatives of companies should meet with students and inform them of the potential that their future work may have.
To conclude, I am absolutely confident that the importance of a career is really great since we all live under the conditions of market economy where the ability to make finances [12] [APPRECIATE]
