A. The statistics presented in the pie chart make it clear that people do not listen
to music genres which have a long history, such as country. They choose pop
songs, which do not demand a lot. These songs do not need people to think
about the authors` ideas. This can lead to generations, which are not
interested in music or art at all. There is a simple solution to this problem: we
should listen to new kinds of music and advise good songs to our friends.
B. Listening to music has taken up a huge part of our lives. Every kind of music
has its own feachers and public, that's why some song types are popular and
the others are not. We can see a lot of useful data about it in the chart.
C. In conclusion we see that people listen to different music genres nowadays,
which is great, because we have the choice. The worst thing is that a lot of the
population do not use the opportunity to choose, they just listen to pop songs,
because it is easier.
D. At first glance, it is clear that rap music interests a lot of people, 25% chose
this genre, which is still 8% lower than the rate of pop listeners.
E. As an overall trend, people tend to prefer pop songs to any other kind. On the
contrary, country music is the least popular: only 8% choose this genre.

3. Put the paragraphs into the correct order
A. The statistics I have introduced in the pie chart outline the problem that the
modern community is mostly involved in bloody and violent scenes. According
to the psychologists these ones can lead to harmful effects on our body. Fear
is a negative emotion and its constant presence develops anxiety and
actualises hidden dismays. To avoid such dreadful consequences people
should vary movie genres and follow age rating.
B.Films are playing a considerable role in our life these days. Distributions of
some motion pictures can reach millions or billions of dollars which is
evidence that the number of cinemagoers is growing annually. To analyse the
most popular movie genres from 1995 to 2021 in Zetland as a part of the
project, I have found some data and organized it into a pie chart.
C.All in all, I believe that cinematography intrigued and attracted us a lot of
decades ago. However one should not forget about their health especially
when excessive watching of some genres may cause various medical
concerns.
D.Moreover, the chart reveals information that 20% said they would rather
watch action films whereas 18% are fans of adventure ones. As a general
trend, the results are approximately identical.
E.The provided pie chart depicts two striking characteristics. At the first glance
it is clear that thriller and horror are the most popular genres provided, 30%
and 22% in that order. In contrast, people show a little interest in drama films.
Only 10% of respondents prefer this type of movie.
