Some people think that it is more effective for students to study in groups,

while others believe that it is better for them to study alone.

Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

 

Plan : Topic - study in groups or alone

Answer - sometimes better alone, usually better in a group.

 

People have different views about the effectiveness of group study as opposed

to working alone. While there are some benefits to studying independently, I believe that

group work is usually more productive.

It is sometimes argued that high school students should be made to do some work in their local communities.

While I disagree with the idea of making such programmes compulsory, I do believe that voluntary community service could benefit young people.

 

Many criminals reoffend after they have been punished. Why do some people continue to commit crimes after

they have been punished, and what measures can be taken to tackle this problem?

 

topic - criminals reoffend

answer  - several reasons, a variety of measures(governments, communities))

 

It is true that punishments do not always deter criminals from commiting more crimes. There are various reasons why offenders repeatedly break the law, but government could certainly take steps to address this issue.

 

 

 

 

4. Two part question

Plan: Topic - job satisfaction

Answer - sevral factors, unrealistic / impossible

 

Work plays a central role in our lives, and we would all like to feel fulfilled professionally.

While a variety of factors may lead to job satisfaction, it would be unrealistic to expect everyone

to be happy at work.
