Writing Task

We can see a diagram with information of donations British people to charity in the period of the end of 20th century and the beginning of the 21th century. The first thing to pay attention is reducing donations in current time. Compared to 2010, economic situation in 1990 was a little bit worse. So, it is difficult to explain why donations projects reduced popularity.

For instance amount of money which was given by age group 18-25 in 1990 three times more than those people in 2010. Despite of this, the performance of those who over 65 years old has almost same results: 33 to 35 per cent.

According to this information, the group British people at the age from 36 to 50 gave most money comparing to other groups in 1990. At the 2010 was other situation. At least every second resident of Great Britain give financial support to expansion of charity.

WRITING TASK 2

I believe that after forced quarantine working conditions will change. Some people prefer working on the same job all their life. This principle has widely spread in the USSR. In addition it continues to develop. But there is a significant difference. There are large group of people who prefer ideas of conservatism.

Conservatism was one of the main ideological tool in USSR. Economic stability attracted people. Safety was a trump card. That is why people like and didn`t even think about changes. The ideas of conservatism have another feature. It proceeds a physiological qualities of human activity .

Scientists have proved habit`s forming for 21 days. If a person is provided with the best conditions within three weeks, he will get used to them. It is very diffucult to change a habit. And it turns into person`s character.

We have another side of the coin. There are people who are sure that it is better not to linger on one job. Such people are interested in a new experience. New friends and new opportunities are in priority. This is the principle of the new century.

The world changes very fast. Old professions disappear. For example, in the US, taxi drivers are replaced by autopilots. It is more profitable for both companies and state. There are fewer and fewer technical support lines. A new feature - creating chat bots in messengers.

Another example is MonoBank in Ukraine. It has no bank branches. All work is carried out remotely: from opening a deposit to communicating with customers. By the way, clients can get necessary consultation in one of the messengers.

In my opinion working all life at one organization is not relevant in our time. The world is constantly changing. The world goes into digital mode. Modern technology dominates obsolete methods. A person should do what he loves. This is a priority. This is the most important condition of his life. And it doesn’t matter whether he changes work organizations or not. A person should bring benefit to our world and society. And no more.
