Many countries are realizing the dangers of passive smoking and are coming up with measures to curb the problems popping up with the passive smoking. Medical science has fully supported the dangers of potential passive smoking. To illustrate my point I will like to cite the fact that most of the people die due to cigarette smoking which contains nicotine. Inveterate smokers pack up themselves with lung and oral cancer rather than from natural causes. Government is squandering astronomical sums for the treatment of pulmonary cancers and educating the populace from the dangers of smoking .The imposition of high taxes on nicotine based products has already been done to restrain this habit. The debatable point is that to what extent these steps have been succeeded to dissuade the smokers. Cigarette smoking not only pollutes the air but also make nonsmokers inhale the stale smoke imperiling their health too. Ingrained smokers are not destroying their own health but also of others. The main critical issue in this respect is that is anyone (child or adult) safe from passive smoking. The doom of asthmatics, pregnant women can we well imagined too. Some smokers argue that banning smoking in public places is direct impingement of their human rights but this line is futile because right to smoking is not absolute, but right to life is. Many persons unintentionally take up smoking by watching others; thereby unleash the smoke in public places. This is what they call fashion. Thus it is imperative to impose appropriate laws as it will not only prevent nonsmokers from falling victim to the dangers of passive smoking, but also directly benefit the diehard smokers who would then have no choice but to curtail their smoking habit. TEST 19: Read the following text from an article about mass media. While most of us make use of some form of the media on a daily basis, we may not think about the functions or purposes the media serves in our society. One important function is entertainment. On television, in particular, the variety of entertainment programs is extensive, ranging from soap operas, to comedy, to talk shows, to sports. Now, write an essay to an educated reader to discuss your opinions about the purposes of mass media. Include reasons and any relevant examples to support your answer. You should write at least 250 words.

Write an essay to discuss the effects of peer group on children

As children grow older, they become increasingly involved with their peergroup, a group whose members are about the same age and have similar interests.The peer group - along with the family and the school - is one of the three mainsocializing agents However, the peer group is very different from the family andthe school Whereas parents and teachers have more power than children andstudents, the peer group is made up of equals

Owing to the development of the mass media, in gereral, the advertising industry inall over the world has been booming Although most people agree that this offerstremendous benefits, some say that it may cause negative effect

It cannot be denied that advertising has a great number of advantages Firstly, allcompanies must make people know their brands by means of media when sellingitems Secondly, advertisements suggest people what they demand to lead a moreconvienient life and where to purchase products with best quality As a result,

customers find themselves have more choices on the outlet Finally, advertising is acreative industry that employs a wide range of people and most jobs related toadvertising are now considered well-paying most.

The advertisement, on the other hand, shows many drawbacks One of them is thatthey persuade people to buy a product without telling them the disadvantages of it.This has led to the overstatement and even false information of an item’s usethat we see in advertising industry nowadays Furthermore, advertising alsoencourages people to follow the latest trend and causes them to shop lavishly Inaddition, many commercials aim at children’s interest thus they probably putpressure on their parents to buy the items advertised

Some people think that young people should be required to work for a year before they go to university Such work gives young people valuable knowledge of the world, which in turns helps them to appreciate their studies and decide what they want to do in life However, there are those argue that going to university immediately after school is a ……

Write an essay to discuss what choice in your opinion is better for young people in preparing them for the future career

While some nurture their belief that young people should be required to work

for a year before they go to university, I strongly argue that going to universityimmediately after school is a much better option because of the rationale in thefollowing essay

A university education can be seen as a process of improving students’analytical thinking The variety of courses offered at university inspires students invarious ways, therefore improving their analytical ability For example, sciencecourses such as math and biology help students develop a rational way of thinkingwhereas arts courses such as literature have to let students ponder over issuesfrom a logical, multi-dimensional perspective; and courses in social sciences force

students to recognize the ideas that have been traditionally assumed to beacceptable and unproblematic With the development of these types of analyticalthinking, graduates can face future challenges with more confidence andenthusiasm.

Also, university education is expected to improve students’ moral standards.This is rooted in universities’ belief that students’ awareness of responsibilitytowards their community and their country is of high importance In this societyand civilization, students are encouraged to actively participate in improving thelocal community A university that provides care and facilities for physicallydisadvantaged students may inspire the graduates to better handle situations in thefuture where they may have to interact with the disabled community A successfuluniversity education is supposed to produce morally sound graduates, thereforeincreasing their employability

In conclusion, university education not only helps students locate a decent jobbut will also develop other qualities Thus, I believe students should be encouraged

to enter university to broaden their knowledge first

TEST 6:

In modern society, fashion is becoming more highly valued in people’s choice of clothes Nowadays, it is not uncommon to see people walking around in brand- name clothes and sunglasses like celebrities While some people think it is a positive development, others blame for negative aspects of fashion obsession.

Write an essay to discuss your opinion about fashion consciousness.

Nowadays, fashion plays an important role of our modern life While people

think it is a positive development, others criticize the fashion obsession

Fashion is mainly about clothes Clothes today are not only for covering yourbody, they represent for many aspects relating to one person such as personality,hobby, social class Your clothes can show who you are, what you like, what youtend to be, etc Therefore, choosing what to wear is an essential part of daily life.Brand-name clothes, sunglasses and other things can make you more stylish inpeople’s eyes That is why people say that: “Clothes make the man”

However, some people are blaming for negative aspect of fashion obsession.What is fashion obsession? It’s a kind of obsession that people who have it alwaysthink about fashion They can spend all time just to think about what to wear today

or what clothes to buy when they are shopping In their point of view, fashion is all

It is absolutely not good Fashion is an important part, but it is not all of our lives.This kind of obsession makes people deeply sink into fashion and they cannot careabout anything except clothes

Although the fashion obsession brings disadvantages, people should also careabout fashion Polite and suitable wearing is the best way to show your fashionawareness Moreover, fashion is a big industry in the world and it more and more

meets people’s demand for wearing now In short, paying attention to fashionableclothes is good, but don’t let it obsesses you.

TEST 7

Some people think governments should spend as much money as possible exploring outer space ( for example travelling to the Moon and to other planets ) Other people disagree and think goverments should spend this money for our basic needs on the Earth.

Whether governments should subsidize outer-space exploration is a subject ofdebate While some people expect that amount of budget should be for improvinghumans' quality of life, I would contend that this branch of science should be given

as much financial assistance as possible

To begin with, that many aspects of our life are quite improved is partlyattributed to the development of necessary technologies like satellites and rockets

in recent years For example, we can communicate with each other in a moreconvenient way thanks to achievements in the aerospace science A great number

of jobs and research fields in universities are also created since that science hasbecome popular

In addition, the Earth is being overcrowded, which means we no longer havesufficient space and resources for next generations Exploring outer space provided

us with a chance to find out another planet that is suitable for most creatures onEarth, including humans, to live on It is as well an opportunity to discover certainhuge resources or elements on other planets to be the substitution for someexhausted ones on our planet As the root of poor living standards is the shortage ofliving space and resources on Earth, it is rational to have more sponsorship for thespace science to deal with those difficulties and fulfill humans' basic needs

To conclude, although the improvement of humans' living standards is animportant task for any administration, it seems to me that it is a right thing forgovernments to spend more money on space programs to resolve the urgent issue

On the one hand, children at young age are fast learners Because children aremore flexible and they can grasp any language very easily Moreover, there is a factthat little kids approximately between five and nine years have a capacity toremember things twice as fast and effectively than another aged people For

example, some children can even start three different languages, such English,French and German together when they are six years old.

On the other hand, more subjects open in secondary school is the other mainreason that a new foreign language should be started at younger age Children start

to learn some new subjects, such as Chemistry, Biology and History The moreclasses they have, the more homework they need to do after school Obviously, theywould spend little time on a foreign language There is no doubt that it takes time tomaster a foreign language, especially the pronunciation If they spend enough time

on practicing their speaking ability, they can speak English more fluently.Therefore, children should learn a foreign language at primary school, instead ofsecondary school

In conclusion, in order to learn a foreign language, it is better to start it atprimary school rather than secondary school for children It is also the better way

to make the future secured by further studies and applying for the good jobs aswell

TEST 9: Discuss the effects of technology in the classroom

There is a significantly increasing use of technology, such as tablets and laptops,

in the classroom It is often argued that this is a positive development, whilst othersdisagree and think it will lead to adverse consequence It is agreed that an increase

in technology is beneficial to students and teachers This essay will take a closerlook at this issue

It is clear that the internet has provided students with access to moreinformation than ever before Moreover, learners have the ability to research andlearn about any subject at the touch of a button It is therefore agreed thattechnology is a very useful tool for education Wikipedia is a prime example, wherestudents can simply type in any keyword and gain access to in-depth knowledgequickly and easily

However, many disagree and feel that technology deprives people of realhuman interaction Human interaction teaches people valuable skills such asdiscourse, debate and empathy Despite this, human interaction is still possiblethrough the internet and this essay disagrees technology should be dismissed forthis reason For instance, Skype and Facebook make it possible for people tointeract in ways that were never before possible

In conclusion, while the benefits of technology, particularly the internet, allowstudents search limitless sources of information, some still feel that people should

be wary of this new phenomenon and not allow it to curb face to face interaction.However, as long as we are careful to keep in mind the importance of humaninteraction in education, the educational benefits are clearly positive

TEST 10: Effects of media on society

The media plays a big role in society that has both positive and negative

effects Yet, some wonder if the negative effects trump the positive ones It is truepeople want to know what is going on in the world around them from theirneighborhood to state, federal and international interests But the media may havemore of an effect on society that many are tired to being reminded of on a dailybasis

The media has an important job in providing informative information aboutthings that may have an effect on you or how you live your life The positive sideincludes learning about breakthroughs in health, technology, and other areas thatcan help make a difference now and in the future At the same time you know what

is going on in other places you may have connections with such as family, friendsand so forth The media can be a useful tool in helping you be aware of things thatcould be harmful or detrimental to you or your loved ones

On the other hand, the media is known for taking things out of context andeven causing panic when it is not necessary There are certain networks and outletsthat people realize they cater to certain audiences or provide information that maynot be seem fair or correct There are times in which too much information isshared or details could have been left to the imagination There are events thathappen in which the media is known for taking things too far such as massshootings, terrorist attacks, and political controversies to name a few

In conclusion, the media can help a consumer get the word out aboutsomething useful Nowadays, it seems you have to be more careful about what youlearn through the media since some sources are known to provide bogusinformation Others see media as a form of entertainment since it can be interestingfollowing stories you find hard to believe that actually happened

TEST 11: Read the following text from an educational magazine

Compulsory attendance in university has always been a highly debated subject Professors view class attendance as an individual student responsibility However, many students want to be given the freedom to decide which classes to attend Due to the difficulty of regulating a school-wide attendance policy, most colleges and universities give professors the authority to set their own attendance rules Some people believe that university students should be required to attend classes Others believe that going to classes should be optional for students.

Write an essay to an educated reader to tell which point of view you agree with.Include specific reasons and any relevant examples to support your answer

Still universities have options for their students to attend class In my case, I

do believe that class attendance should be required seriously since it would help

students gain lectures from professors, interact with others to learn teamworkskills, improve relationships and keep away from distractions

First of all, appearing at class brings students opportunities to met professorsand gets practical advices from them Professors’ lectures summarize ideas on asubject so that students could save a great deal of time and efforts in figuring outgeneral concepts Moreover, professors with deep knowledge and experienceswould provide students many expertises Lacks of teachers’ guidance possibly lead

to shortage of understanding or even the opposite to primary thoughts Therefore,attending class should be strictly mandatory

Secondly, at classes, students could learn how to co-operate with the others Itwould be worthy for them since the fact that almost nowadays employers considertheir applicant’s teamwork skills as a decisive factor By going to class andinteracting with other people, students are able to gain these experiences Studentswho often stay at home would face up with troubles when trying to join a publicgroup in the future

Another reason for students to appear at class is that they could improve theirrelationship with the others While study is the primary purpose of universities,meeting and making friend, in my opinion, should be considered as the followingtask It is reasonable because students always spend much time on campus and theimprovement of relationships has a lot of advantageous conditions, working andplaying together for instance Reality has shown that friends at schools areessential for not only a person’s ordinary life but also his career

Finally, attending class could keep student away from distractions A hugenumber of possible causes might interrupt students from study, for exampleentertain games, parties, camping trips or even society evil In contrast, universitiesprovide students with academic environment that help them focus on doingresearch as well as motivate their thoughts about career

To sum up, tremendous critical benefits obtained from compulsory class attendance are obvious Students studying at class could get severely essential

directions from their teachers, train teamwork skills, enhance relationships withother people and avoid negative effects on study Therefore, I strongly recommendthat universities should considered attending class an indispensable part of theircourses

TEST 12: Read the following text from a health magazine

Stress is the feeling of being under too much mental or emotional pressure Pressure becomes stress when you feel unable to cope Stress can affect how you feel, think, and behave and even how your body functions It is worth taking the time to learn different strategies and techniques for managing your stress before there are serious consequences for your mental and physical well-being People have different ways of escaping the stress and difficulties of modern life Some read; some exercise; others work in their gardens

Write an essay to an educated reader to tell what you think is the best way ofreducing stress.

In modern life, stress is quite popular problem to everyone Stress causes

negative effects on both physical and mental health Therefore, it has become a hottopic for many discussions to find solutions for stress People may get stress whenthey suffer too much mental and emotional pressure It is necessary to havesuitable ways to manage these pressures before they cause an extremely stressful

In my views, I suggest 2 ways to reduce stress: talking with your friend and have ahobby

First of all, you may feel better if you talk with your friends at a coffee station Ithink spending time with friends is a good way to get everything that bothers youout of your mind and also it is a good way to have good friendships For example, Ihang out with my friends when I have some stress in studying When hanging outwith friends, we talk about funny stories like travelling, shopping and so on.Therefore, I can forget all my study and projects

Next, a great hobby will make you reduce stress effectively There are a largenumber of things you can do such as exercise, yoga, reading, painting and so on.Listening music is my favorite hobby When I have sadness or emotional pressure, Ioften open English songs After listening music, I can relieve all stress from working

or life

To sum up, there are various ways that may help you to deal with stress such

as talking with your friends and having a hobby It would be great for you if youknow how to balance everything in life because it is worthy to have happy

life without stress.

TEST 13: Read the following text from a business magazine

Success is the most aspired by everyone Success comes in all shapes and colors You can be successful in your job and career but you can equally be successful in your marriage, at sports or a hobby However, success is not easy to achieve The road leading to the achievement has obstacles that are to be crossed over Some people believe that success in life comes from taking risks or chances Others believe that success results from careful planning.

“Success” is the word that urges people to try hard to get no matter how hard

things in life are Some people think that success in life comes from taking risks orchances Others believe that success results from careful planning This essay willtake a closer look at the issue

On the one hand, for many people, success is the result of taking risks orchances in life First, risks bring about valuable experience for people Even if theycannot manage to overcome the problems, they consider themselves to besuccessful as they learnt a lot from the failure Second, some people believe thatchances also provide them with success They claim that with an individual,

opportunities are not always there for them to take and make plans with There aresometimes once-in-a-lifetime chances that people may regret if these are not taken.Therefore, once people take advantages of these opportunities, their success ismuch more meaningful.

On the other hand, others argue that there will be no success if people do notmake careful plans First of all, it is believed that planning helps things better Aperson provided with a chance may find it easier to perform if s/he makesschedules thoroughly On the contrary, even the person could get stuck in themiddle of the process without a plan and s/he may fail In addition, theydemonstrate that a person, especially a businessperson is regarded to be careful ifs/he has a clear plan to conduct steps They ask to imagine a businessman required

to take risks or chances who cannot make a careful planning of what and how to do.This person cannot be successful in his business

In conclusion, success is not easy to achieve How successful a person is may

depend on both risks or chances taken and careful planning For me, to succeed inlife, people should take full advantages of risks and find ways to schedule for therisks so that we can achieve successfully

TEST 14: Read the following text from an education magazine

While compulsory education in some countries such as England begins at the age of five (with many children actually starting at four), in countries such as Sweden, Denmark and Finland, school does not begin until the age of seven.

There are two different points of view regarding this Some people think that children should begin their formal education at a very early age and should spend most of their time on school studies Others believe that young children should spend most of their time playing

Write an essay to an educated reader to tell which point of view you agree with

Childhood is one of the most important and memorable periods of our lives.

We come into the world innocent and unaware and in just a few short years makegreat physical and mental progress Although play is an important component ofour young lives, in my view, there are significant benefits to be gained frombeginning formal education at an early age My view is based on intellectual andsocial reasons

Intellectually, the period from birth to six years is the most significant for braingrowth A child who is surrounded by a rich multi-sensory environment developsinfinitely more connection between brain cells, which are the basis of what we call

“intelligence” In this connection, the process of learning to read is of particularsignificance because it has such a strong positive influence on neural development.Although parents can provide this early intellectual stimulation, in most casesworking parents find it difficult to do so This strengthens the case for enrolling

children in a formal education system, which can provide the necessary resourcesand trained personnel to bring out the best in the child.

Socially, being in a school environment teaches children both how to behavethemselves and also how to get along with other children and adults These lessons

in human behaviour are as important as the formal subjects a child must study Bylearning how to follow rules, take turns and be respectful a child becomes a part ofthe social nexus to which we all belong The formal academic experience, in anobjective context, away from the family structure, also satisfies the child’s growingsense of independence Most children often “play school” in any case, particularly ifthey have older siblings

In conclusion, early education offers children a host of benefits at different

levels A child can always play after coming home; in the meantime, the schoolexperience sets the child on a path to success and self-confidence in a competitive,demanding world

TEST 15: Write an essay to an educated reader to discuss your opinions about the positive and negative aspects of online shopping Include reasons and any relevant examples to support your answer You should write at least 250 words

In this 21st century the growth of internet has changed our way of life, these days nothing is hard, we can do everything online such as watching movies, reading books, paying bills, shopping online, etc, These days online shopping is becoming very popular and has become the best choice for many people who do shopping regularly However, shopping online has some of positive and negative aspects in life

First and foremost it is the best, easiest and safest shopping in the history Even at midnight we can do our shopping since it is open 24/7 days and perhaps you can purchase any item from online store without going to the store physically Secondly, it

is affordable and convenient to do shopping online And moreover we need not have

to wait in heavy traffic to reach the store in our area Lastly, this shopping helps us in keeping our friends and family together all the time, by sending special gifts on behalf

of us that ranges from flowers to perfumes, from chocolate to jewellery items, etc, on their special occasions even if we are far away from them.

However, there are some negative impacts of shopping online Online shopping has not been the safest place to shop Even in traditional malls there are shoplifters, thieves, and bullies But online shopping is one of the places were identity thief occurs most frequently Privacy and security on the Internet is not as secure as it should be Online shopping sites have tried to take precautions to minimize these issues Web sites are improving their security and surveillance on a daily basis.

To conclude, as we have found out there is no easy answers to this question Nevertheless, shopping online makes a huge difference to peoples' lives in term of time saving and I believe that this is a positive impact in our society.

TEST 16: Read the following text from an article about computer games

Access to computers has increased significantly over the past decades and the number of children playing games on computers has been correspondingly on the rise As regards to positive effects, playing computers provides children with various skills that may not be taught at school However, concerns have been raised about negative sides of computer games by children, much of this related to the violence

Now, write an essay to an educated reader to discuss the effects of computergames on children’s behavior and what can be done to minimize the bad effects.Access to computers has increased significantly over recent decades, and thenumber of children playing games on computers has increased, too This essay willconsider the positive and negative impacts of this and discuss ways to mitigateagainst the potential negative effects

With regards to the positive effects, playing computers games can developchildren’s cognitive skills Many popular games require abstract and high levelthinking skills in order to win, skills that may not be taught at school For example,children need to follow instructions, solve complex problems and use logic in many

of the games that are currently popular Such experience will be beneficial to achild’s progression into an adult

However, concerns have been raised about the prolific use of computer games bychildren, much of this related to the violence they contain The problem is that inmany of the games children are rewarded for being more violent, and this violence

is repeated again and again For instance, many games involve children helpingtheir character to kill, kick, stab and shoot This may lead to increased aggressivefeelings, thoughts, and behaviors

In order to minimize these negative impacts, parents need to take certain steps.Firstly, some video games are rated according their content, so parents must checkthis and ensure their children are not allowed to have access to games that areunsuitable Parents can also set limits on the length of time games are played.Finally, parents should also take an active interest in the games their children areplaying so they can find out how they feel about what they are observing

TEST 17: The effect of the Internet on human interactions

From the last century to these present days, the Internet has come up withone of the greatest innovations of human interactions It makes significant changes

in the way people communicate with each other However, everything has its twosides, and the effects of the Internet on people’s relationship is not an exception

Initially, technology enhances quicker and simpler communication amongpeople There are so many different means of communication to help contactbetween one person and others, even for those who are separated by long distance.

It not only gives an easier chance of connection but also saves time and money ofcommunication For example, people do not need to visit their colleagues andrelatives in different regions or cities to talk to them anymore Instead, they couldjust open the phone or computer and make a call to their loved ones

On the other hand, it also causes negative impacts on social interaction Byusing electronic devices in daily life of communication, it is hard for people toinvolve in social environment It will decrease their self-confidence to speak inpublic because they usually interact through devices but in person If peopleaspend most of their time communicating online and not mixing in theirneighborhoods, it may lead to feelinfs of isolation for those individuals who do nothave a real person to connect

In conclusion, the Internet assists people in keeping in touch with others whoare in different places and brings some beneficial development on communication.Nevertheless, it is also very important to maintain a balance between our online lifeand our contact with human beings

TEST 18: Your opinion about whether public smoking should be banned or not

Ban on smoking in places is not only justified but also imperative Manycountries are realizing the dangers of passive smoking and are coming up withmeasures to curb the problems popping up with the passive smoking

Medical science has fully supported the dangers of potential passive smoking

To illustrate my point I will like to cite the fact that most of the people die due tocigarette smoking which contains nicotine Inveterate smokers pack up themselveswith lung and oral cancer rather than from natural causes Government issquandering astronomical sums for the treatment of pulmonary cancers andeducating the populace from the dangers of smoking The imposition of high taxes

on nicotine based products has already been done to restrain this habit

The debatable point is that to what extent these steps have been succeeded todissuade the smokers Cigarette smoking not only pollutes the air but also makenon-smokers inhale the stale smoke imperiling their health too Ingrained smokersare not destroying their own health but also of others The main critical issue in thisrespect is that is anyone (child or adult) safe from passive smoking The doom ofasthmatics, pregnant women can we well imagined too

Some smokers argue that banning smoking in public places is directimpingement of their human rights but this line is futile because right to smoking isnot absolute, but right to life is Many persons unintentionally take up smoking by

watching others; thereby unleash the smoke in public places This is what they callfashion.

Thus it is imperative to impose appropriate laws as it will not only preventnon-smokers from falling victim to the dangers of passive smoking, but also directlybenefit the diehard smokers who would then have no choice but to curtail theirsmoking habit

The biggest mistake of educating people in this age is their parents andteachers treat them in serious ways during the learning process First of all, theyobserve that this age group of children do not need emotion and softness asyounger children, and they really pay attention just to their academic study andhow to pass successfully from the school As a result, the relationships betweenparents, teachers and students become extremely hard without any love Secondly,once the circumstance at the school or home is getting worse and under pressurefor students, they start to hate everyone and act negatively and violently againstinnocent Consequently, teachers and parents cause people at age of 25 to bedangerous criminals in the society

Additionally, parents and teachers feel embarrassed in finding their ownmethod of teaching people in this group Although there are several of resourcesthat teach people the intelligent approaches of emotional and social learning for

adult, it doesn’t seem really effective to these teachers and parents In Canada forinstance, in Chapter- the famous library there are a lot of the newest and easiestbooks of dealing with secondary schools students, yet criminal behaviors havereached the peak at schools, on streets and in public places.

TEST 25:Read the following extract from a book chapter.

Many American believe that the death penalty is effective in deterring peoplefromcommitting murder However, others disagree, and many sociologists arguethat the evidence does not support this view

Now, write an essay to an educated reader to tell which point of view you agreewith Include reasons and any relevant examples to support your answer Youshould write at least 250 words

Sample essay:

The argument about the capital punishment or death penalty is a verycontroversial one Some people think that without death penalty it is impossible toretain the law and order in a country while others stand totally against the capitalpunishment and describe it as inhuman In my opinion, capital punishment should

be only used in a situation where there is no other alternative Otherwise, penaltiesrather than death should be tried to punish any one

In some cases many criminals are hang till death or even send to theelectronic chairs and there really left no alternative rather than that Again therecomes situations even in a very peaceful society that all the people show contempt

to the criminal and expect some exemplary punishment For example: All thepeople expect a terrible penalty for a serial killer or a lunatic rapist Most of thesekillers and criminals are severely damaged psychologically and the possibility fortheir being normal again is almost zero These kind of person who has taken otherpeople's lives and dignity should be punished with highest penalty like death tomake the society a better place to live in

By contrast, those who betray with the country and compromise with theenemy with the freedom of the motherland should be hang till death in other wordshould be given capital punishment because of their heinous act

Moreover, we must consider that, we can't create a living being and we neverhave the right to take the lives of a living being So if we punish even a singleinnocent soul with the punishment he/she does not deserve then the whole systemwill be corrupted Moreover, if there are chances that a criminal will remorse for

what he/she has done and will lead a normal and peaceful life, then he/she should

be given a chance

I believe that, some criminals are simply dangerous for the society and willalways be no matter how much opportunities and support they are given, and theyshould be given the death penalty And the capital punishment should be used only

in some extreme cases rather than using it as the law prevailing policy

The second effect is on crime Huge police resources are needed to fight smugglingand dealing Criminal gangs and mafia underworlds develop with the money fromdrugs

However, the menace of drugs can be fought Education is the first battle.Children need to be told at home and in school about drugs People need to beaware of the effects so that they can avoid this problem

to talk to children and people at risk Parents need to look at their children and helpthem to become responsible Worthwhile jobs and housing are also needed to givepeople a role in society

TEST 27: Read the following extract from a book chapter.

Some people argue that male and female brains are different and that this causes

differences in behavior However, some other believe that most of the differences are the result of the way in which people bring up children at home and at school.

Now, write an essay to an educated reader to tell which point of view you agreewith Include reasons and any relevant examples to support your answer Youshould write at least 25 0 words

Some people think that there is a difference between male and female brainsand that makes their behavior different Some others argue that the way in whichpeople raise their children at home and at school creates most of the differences Iagree with the latter point of view

In the past, researchers claimed they could tell the sex of an individual just bylooking at their disembodied brain But a new study finds that human brains do notfit neatly into “male” and “female” categories Indeed, all of our brains seem toshare a patchwork of forms; some that are more common in males, others that aremore common in females, and some that are common to both genders

In fact, there are basic behavioral differences between the sexes, but weshould note that these differences increase with age because our children'sintellectual biases are being exaggerated and intensified by our gendered culture.Children don't inherit intellectual differences They learn them They are a result ofwhat we expect a boy or a girl to be For instance, a boy is taught to be strong andindependent by their parents since he is expected to protect his family when hegrows up

Last but not least, nor are the reasoning, speaking, computing, emphasizing,navigating and other cognitive differences fixed in the genetic architecture of ourbrains All such skills are learned and developed day by day, based on theexperience children get from the school and their daily life

In conclusion, the way parents raise their children can create the difference inbehavior Gender does not matter

Write an essay to an educated reader to discuss the advantages and disadvantages

of using public transport Include reasons and any relevant examples to supportyour answer You should write at least 250 words

While some people choose to use public transportations, others prefer to usetheir own cars It is believed that the excessive usage of personal cars has causedcongestion problems in big cities and therefore people should use public

transportations more often However, public transportations have their ownpositive and negative sides and the following essay will discuss about them indetails.

It is undeniable, that public transportations have some weaknesses Somepeople still choose to use their own private vehicles, though the government hasencouraged them to use public transports It is because public transportations arenot as safe as private cars and some criminal activities in public buses or trainssuch as pocket thieves are still being reported And then public transportations arenot reliable in terms of preciseness and accuracy Many people have complainedabout the preciseness and the consistency of these public transportationsschedules, which impacted to their work or study time

Despite of its weakness points, public transportations brings a lot of benefitsfor individuals and societies Firstly, it is clear that the existence of publictransportations will automatically reduced traffic problems Secondly, if theutilization of public transportations increased, it means that there will be areduction in the consumption of fossil fuels Consequently, it will reduce airpollution and global warming issues Therefore, the governments should encouragetheir residents to use public transportations

In conclusion, people have different opinions about public transportations.Some people enjoy using them, while others choose to use their own personalvehicles Although public transportations have some weaknesses, I do believe thatthe benefits outweighed the drawbacks I also suggest that the government shouldimprove the public transportation services, therefore more and more people areattracted to use public transportations
