objective
You are a member of the student council and have been asked to write a formal report on the results of a recent school poll about preferred lunchtime activities. The poll involved 120 students, with 45% favouring sports, 30% arts and crafts, and 25% quiet reading. Write a report of 200‑250 words that includes an introduction, a brief description of the method, the results (expressed both as percentages and as the actual number of students), a short discussion of what the results suggest, and two realistic recommendations for the school. Use formal language and appropriate headings.
Answer Options
A.
Report on Lunchtime Activity Preferences
Introduction
The student council carried out a poll to discover pupils' preferred lunchtime activities, with the goal of improving lunchtime offerings.
Method
A short questionnaire was given to 120 students, who could select multiple activities they enjoyed.
Results
- Sports: 45% (54 students)
- Arts & Crafts: 30% (36 students)
- Quiet Reading: 25% (30 students)
Discussion
While sports are popular, the ability to choose multiple activities may have inflated the percentages. Reading remains the least favored.
Recommendations
1. Introduce a quiet reading lounge with comfortable seating and a small library.
2. Provide weekly arts workshops led by local artists.
Conclusion
Focusing on reading and arts will diversify lunchtime options.
Correct Answer
B.
Report on Lunchtime Activity Preferences
Introduction
The student council commissioned a poll to identify pupils' preferred lunchtime activities, aiming to inform future scheduling and facility use.
Method
A short, anonymous questionnaire was distributed to a random sample of 120 students across all year groups. Respondents selected one activity they would most like to pursue during lunch.
Results
- Sports: 45% (54 students)
- Arts & Crafts: 30% (36 students)
- Quiet Reading: 25% (30 students)
Discussion
The majority of students (54) favour sports, indicating a strong demand for physical activity. Arts and crafts attract a substantial minority, while quiet reading is the least popular option. The data suggest that a balanced programme offering both active and creative options would cater to most pupils.
Recommendations
1. Allocate part of the playground for organised sports sessions during lunch, supervised by teachers or senior students.
2. Set up a dedicated arts corner equipped with basic supplies (paper, paints, craft materials) to encourage creative engagement.
Conclusion
Implementing these recommendations will respond to the clear preferences expressed by the student body and enhance the overall lunchtime experience.
C.
