GOAL CHECK

Describe Future Trends

Look at the information about what classes students take and write a description of the future trends (120-150 words). Use the paragraph in E as a model. Share your description in pairs. Then discuss if you think these trends are true for your city.

(Dịch: Xem thông tin về những lớp học sinh học và viết mô tả về xu hướng trong tương lai (120-150 từ). Sử dụng đoạn văn trong phần E làm mô hình. Chia sẻ mô tả của em theo cặp. Sau đó, thảo luận xem em có nghĩ rằng những xu hướng này đúng với thành phố của em không.)

For example:

These pie charts describe thewhat classes students take in present and trend in the future. The percentage of students choosing Math and English classes is the highest (44% at present). In the future, this number tends to decrease, but still accounts for the highest rate of 39%. The number of students choosing science class accounts for 35% at the moment and will also go down to 25% in 2030. Curently, the percentage of students choosing art is the lowest, only 21%, however, in the future, this percentage will increase quikly and reach 36%. Thus, in the future, students tend to switch to learning art instead of studying science, Math and English.
