In today’s world it’s impossible to imagine mankind without TV or video and computer games. However, there is a part of that content that concerns modern society. The relationship between violent video games and adolescent aggression has become a hot issue in psychological researches last decade. Nevertheless, there are lot of harsh content’s advocates among people considering that it is the best kind of having fun and rest.

To begin with, let’s outline a big number of advantages that are provided by developing of digital recourses, such as giving immediate information on any subject, bringing fun and relaxation, learning about exiting unusual things, travelling virtually, etc. The other argument in such games’ favor is that teenagers can reduce their stress just playing on computer and watching videos. What’s more, adolescents are able to realize some of their bloody thoughts in virtual reality. Apparently, we must aware that violence is a part of all beasts’ emotional survival system. Besides, we just can’t imagine our everyday life without computer games and videos that became a durable part of modern life. The last point to be a Devil’s advocate is one of the noradrenaline affects, when people feel themselves safe not being inside the dangerous events.

On the other hand, there is a problem concerning specialists all over the globe due to the consistent relation between violent video games and videos use and increases in aggressive behaviour among teenagers and adults also. The researchers let us know that the repeated violence content’s damaging effect on the society is now fully proven and acknowledged. The worst thing is that it can increase a person’s aggressive thoughts and feelings as well as behaviour in actual life. Which entails growing number of accidents in families, countries and entire world. 

To sum up, spending time playing violent video games and watching harmful videos can have a negative impact on young people, but we have no choice according to present day technical progress. Therefore, we can conclude, that parents are liable for their children’s mental health. So, we have to control the time that our teenagers spend with gadgets and the content they consume, as well as our parenting style.

"Some people believe that violence on television and in computer games has a damaging effect on the society. Others deny that these factors have any significant influence on people's behaviour. What is your opinion"

The bar chart shows the number of visitors to three London Museums between 2007 and 2012.

Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

Write at least 150 words.

The graph below illustrates the three London Museums’ guests amount during five years from 2007 to 2012. Overall, the highest point of the graph, that shows the number of people who went to the most visited museum in every year, fluctuated, rising in general from nearly 14 to 16 million. At the same time, we can see how the visitors’ preferences changed throw the period. First of all, we can notice that the visiting preferences among the museums changed on the National Gallery’s favor at that period, so, the outstanding three times rise of this culture place visiting is markable. In 2007 the National Gallery attendance was outnumbered the two others by a significant margin, but it was considerably growing up during next five years. With regards to Victoria and Albert Museum, it’s fullness double decreased during three years, dropping noticeably from 14 million in 2007 to 7 million in 2010; however, it started to grow up constantly from 2010 to 2012. Meanwhile, being halved from 2007 to 2008, the number of the British Museum’s visitors started consistent rising for next three years from 2009 till 2012.

Unemployment is one of the biggest problems of contemporary society.
What do you think are the main causes of unemployment?
What solutions can you suggest?  

A major huge issue for today’s civilized mankind is a task of providing employment possibilities for jobless people. That is why in this essay we’ll take a look at the causes of this situation and try to find out the ways on how to improve it.

First of all, let us reminisce the main unemployment definition. This is a situation, when there is a population of people in the country, who are, being able to work, can not find appropriate job or any work at all. What’s more, it induces low savings as well as expenditures. So, the enterprises lose their sales. Therefore, the State budget receives less taxes, whereby, unemployment brings a negative effect on the whole country’s economy future.

Another big personal disadvantage for long-time unemployed people is the qualification loss. 

According to the general reasons of unemployment: dramatical decline in economy, inflation, technological progress, labor competition and concurrency, government policy, force majeure, natural and human-caused disasters (likewise unexpectable war).

Overall, not being economists, we can make some prepositions about ways of working on this issue. One the one hand of solution are active and passive measures providing by government. Among them are social payments, which are being provided for temporary jobless people support. Besides, the main directions of unemployment decreasing are: taking international credits for economy support, financing of new working places creating, business stimulation, strict directions about minimal and maximal salary, number of workers, working day duration, etc. On the other side stands psychological motivation of unemployed citizens.

Thus, we can conclude, that unemployment has various aspects to take in account and questions to solve. Furthermore, it affects all the country economic condition and citizens’ satisfaction.

Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features and make comparisons where relevant.

Write at least 150 words.

Revenue Sources and Expenditures of a USA Charity in one year, 2016.

225Сохранить

Model Answer

The pie charts show the amount of revenue and expenditures in 2016 for a children’s charity in the USA. Overall, it can be seen that donated food accounted for the majority of the income, while program services accounted for the most expenditure. Total revenue sources just exceeded outgoings.

In detail, donated food provided most of the revenue for the charity, at 86%. Similarly, with regard to expenditures, one category, program services, accounted for nearly all of the outgoings, at 95.8%. 

The other categories were much smaller. Community contributions, which were the second largest revenue source, brought in 10.4% of overall income, and this was followed by program revenue, at 2.2%. Investment income, government grants, and other income were very small sources of revenue, accounting for only 0.8% combined.

There were only two other expenditure items, fundraising and management and general, accounting for 2.6% and 1.6% respectively. The total amount of income was $53,561,580, which was just enough to cover the expenditures of $53,224,896.

READING PASSAGE 3

You should spend about 20 minutes on Questions 27–40, which are based on Reading Passage 3 below.

Britain needs strong TV industry

Comedy writer Armando Iannucci has called for an industry-wide defence of the BBC and British programme-makers. "The Thick of It" creator made his remarks in the annual MacTaggart Lecture at the Edinburgh TV Festival.

"It's more important than ever that we have more strong, popular channels... that act as beacons, drawing audiences to the best content," he said. Speaking earlier, Culture Secretary John Whittingdale rejected suggestions that he wanted to dismantle the BBC.

'Champion supporters'

Iannucci co-wrote "I'm Alan Partridge", wrote the movie "In the Loop" and created and wrote the hit "HBO" and "Sky Atlantic show Veep". He delivered the 40th annual MacTaggart Lecture, which has previously been given by Oscar winner Kevin Spacey, former BBC director general Greg Dyke, Jeremy Paxman and Rupert Murdoch. Iannucci said: "Faced with a global audience, British television needs its champion supporters."

He continued his praise for British programming by saying the global success of American TV shows had come about because they were emulating British television. "The best US shows are modelling themselves on what used to make British TV so world-beating," he said. "US prime-time schedules are now littered with those quirky formats from the UK - the "Who Do You Think You Are"'s and the variants on "Strictly Come Dancing" - as well as the single-camera non-audience sitcom, which we brought into the mainstream first. We have changed international viewing for the better."

With the renewal of the BBC's royal charter approaching, Iannucci also praised the corporation. He said: "If public service broadcasting - one of the best things we've ever done creatively as a country - if it was a car industry, our ministers would be out championing it overseas, trying to win contracts, boasting of the British jobs that would bring." In July, the government issued a green paper setting out issues that will be explored during negotiations over the future of the BBC, including the broadcaster's size, its funding and governance.

Primarily Mr Whittingdale wanted to appoint a panel of five people, but finally he invited two more people to advise on the channer renewal, namely former Channel 4 boss Dawn Airey and journalism professor Stewart Purvis, a former editor-in-chief of ITN. Iannucci bemoaned the lack of "creatives" involved in the discussions.

"When the media, communications and information industries make up nearly 8% our GDP, larger than the car and oil and gas industries put together, we need to be heard, as those industries are heard. But when I see the panel of experts who've been asked by the culture secretary to take a root and branch look at the BBC, I don't see anyone who is a part of that cast and crew list. I see executives, media owners, industry gurus, all talented people - but not a single person who's made a classic and enduring television show."

'Don't be modest'

Iannucci suggested one way of easing the strain on the licence fee was "by pushing ourselves more commercially abroad".

"Use the BBC's name, one of the most recognised brands in the world," he said. "And use the reputation of British television across all networks, to capitalise financially oversees. Be more aggressive in selling our shows, through advertising, through proper international subscription channels, freeing up BBC Worldwide to be fully commercial, whatever it takes.

"Frankly, don't be icky and modest about making money, let's monetise the bezeesus Mary and Joseph out of our programmes abroad so that money can come back, take some pressure off the licence fee at home and be invested in even more ambitious quality shows, that can only add to our value."

Mr Whittingdale, who was interviewed by ITV News' Alastair Stewart at the festival, said he wanted an open debate about whether the corporation should do everything it has done in the past.  He said he had a slight sense that people who rushed to defend the BBC were "trying to have an argument that's never been started".

"Whatever my view is, I don't determine what programmes the BBC should show," he added. "That's the job of the BBC." Mr Whittingdale said any speculation that the Conservative Party had always wanted to change the BBC due to issues such as its editorial line was "absolute nonsense".

The schemes illustrate the rearrangements that have been made in the plan of WEST PARK SECONDARY SCHOOL from the moment it was built in 1950 to 2010. Comparing 1950, 1980 and 2010 the school territory has undergone a lot of changes. The only one object, that has remained unchanged, is a School building. However, in 1980 the Science block was built on the left next to the Main building. This new block and a small car park replaced some houses that had already stayed there at the time of construction. Moreover, a big Sports field covering a quarter of the layout was built at that period. We can see, that Playground have taken a big part of the school area from the first days of the school. Nevertheless, it also was cut in favor of the place for a Sports field in 2010. What’s more, the Car park has extended from nothing to the third part of the whole school territory. It can be concluded that the School was being modernized during all 60 years. Unfortunately, they had to cut children activities places at the last years because of technical progress and increasing of cars owners between parents and school stuff.
