The station surveyed 120 teenagers. The survey included the following questions:

Question 1: Which activities would interest you? Respondents could choose more than one answer.

ResponseNumber of teenagers
Interviewing local people71
Editing recorded sound66

Question 2: Which statement best describes your willingness to attend? Respondents selected one answer.

Question 3: When would you be available? Respondents could choose more than one answer.

In addition, 79 of the 120 teenagers said that they were worried about having no previous experience, and 62 wanted the completed programme to be shared publicly.

You should:

  • explain how different roles could be used to produce worthwhile content
  • persuade the manager that the project should go ahead, while addressing the concerns raised by the survey
