Writing (Analytical Paragraph)

1.
Ans: The pie chart reflects diverse parental attitudes towards resuming physical schooling post Phase 5 of COVID-19 unlocking, based on a school survey. A significant plurality, 38%, would send their children to school if strict social distancing and sanitation measures are implemented, indicating trust in the school's safety protocols.
The second-largest group, 23%, would not send their children to school until a COVID-19 vaccine is available, showing a more cautious approach. A close 19% of parents are willing to homeschool, suggesting a preference for complete control over their children's exposure risks.
Smaller percentages of parents are ready to send their children to school only for term and final exams (17%) or as soon as it reopens (3%). These responses may reflect varying levels of concern about the virus and trust in public health measures.
The data indicate that while there is readiness to adapt to new norms, such as homeschooling or limited school attendance, there is also a considerable demand for tangible safety measures before normal schooling resumes. A substantial number of parents are awaiting the vaccine, which underscores the need for continued dialogue between schools and families to navigate the path forward in education during the pandemic.

Additional Practice Task

Ans:  The pie chart represents the results of a survey on anxiety and fears among school students aged 13 to 16 and their impact on the students' personality and behavior. The largest segment, at 39%, indicates that a fear of failure in exams is the most prevalent anxiety, which could potentially lead to a lack of confidence or below-par academic performance. Equally concerning, each at 21%, are fears of being rejected by classmates and the fear of being insulted by teachers. These fears are substantial enough to influence the students' ability to maintain healthy interpersonal relationships and develop a positive self-esteem.
Interestingly, the fear of being scolded by parents, although significant, is less prevalent at 10%, suggesting that while parental discipline is a concern, it may not be as pressing as academic and social anxieties. The least common, yet still noteworthy, is the fear of losing a friend, at 9%, which highlights the importance of peer relationships at this developmental stage.
The data suggests that these fears can contribute to detrimental effects such as poor self-esteem, lack of confidence, subpar performance, and difficulties in interpersonal relationships. It's crucial for educators and parents to recognize these anxieties and work towards creating a supportive environment that can help alleviate these fears and foster a healthier, more confident student body.
