Message subject: Weekends; What work people do when volunteering (Сочинения ЕГЭ английский язык)

Last weekend we went to the local park to do some volunteer gardening. What do you like to do on the weekend? What did you do last weekend? What type of things do you have to do on the weekend?

I'm going to the cinema next weekend...

Hi Jackie,

Thanks for your e-mail! I hope you're doing fine.

In your e-mail you asked me some questions. Well, I like to have a rest from school and exams preparation on the weekend. Also, I really like to go to my favorite restaurant with family. So, last weekend I was in the mall with my mum and we were searching a present for my dad. As for me, I have to do some household duties on the weekend because I have no free time for it on the weekday.

By the way, I want to know more about your going to the cinema.

With who are you going to the cinema? What movie are you going to watch? How far away is the cinema?

Sorry, I’ve got to go now. It’s time to walk my dog. Keep in touch!

Best wishes,

Arina

Nowadays the volunteering has become widespread around the world and has many kinds of it. As part of my project on a very important topic of volunteer work I have collected some data and come up with a number of interesting findings.

Overall, as can be seen from the diagram, the vast majority of people help elder citizens while volunteering. Working with animals is also demanded among almost a third of people who provide their help to the defenseless.

The most striking feature is that people are working with animals more often than they are helping medical workers although the difference is only about 10 percent, 27% and 15%. There is no significant difference between the number of those who do community work (8%) and those who teach in the local school (5%). What stands out is the notably low proportion of people who monitors the state of the environment: only 3% of volunteers.

The date indicates that people are the least likely to monitor the environment. I suppose that the reason for this is environmental monitoring can only be carried out by a qualified person. Also, the equipment is often outdated, which hinders quality research. I believe this problem can be solved by state intervention Also need to train volunteers and invest in modern technology tools.

To conclude, I firmly believe that volunteering plays an important role in people's lives nowadays. Volunteers help those who cannot help themselves. And they also keep the welfare of our planet.
