Exercise 1

Exercise 2

Topic : In developing countries, children in rural communities have less access

to education Some people believe that the problem can be solved by providing more schools and teachers, while others think that the problem can be solved by providing computers and Internet access

People have differing views about how to aid children in rural areas regarding their access to education Although the provision of computers and the Internet can temporarily address the issue, I would argue that the best measure is to establish new schools and employ more teachers

On the one hand, I understand why some people believe that expanding the Internet network and supplying computers for children in remote areas give

them opportunities to approach education Firstly, it is thought that students can acquire a great deal of knowledge from the online platform, most of which either is free of charge or requires small fees Educational websites, such

as Wikipedia, have been constantly established to promote distance learning for children whose neighborhoods have few schools and teachers Secondly, online classes and courses are widely available and accessible, which makes

geographic adversities become rather irrelevant It is because students,

regardless of their background or location, can enroll in a class or course of

their preference This would therefore aid them to have access to education in

their remote communities

On the other hand, I would side with those who think that building more schools and hiring new teachers would permanently solve the problem Only schools

can create an effective learning environment for students to interact or

compete with one another and comprehensively develop their scholastic

competence and characteristics Furthermore, teachers can discover students’ weaknesses during their teaching process, hence better and more effective educating methodologies, which leads to more fruitful results

In conclusion, it seems to me that it is best to construct schools and employ teachers in rural areas, instead of depending on technology to bring about

education opportunities for children at such places

Topic : Some employers offer their employees subsidised membership of gyms and sports clubs, believing that this will make their staff healthier and thus more effective at work Other employers see no benefit in doing so Consider the arguments from both aspects of this possible debate, and reach a conclusion Employers are always seeking ways to enhance their

employees’ productivity, and subsidising healthy pursuits may

be one way of achieving this There are arguments on both sides; however, which we will discuss here

On the one hand, it might be said that if workers are fitter and less stressed, their working time will be more efficient, leading

to higher levels of output and service Furthermore, the work-life balance of the staff will hopefully be improved, because

their leisure time will be more fulfilling This may even be

more motivating than pay increments, perks, or financial

rewards such as bonuses or incentives which may be hard to attain Finally, feeling healthier may lead to

better job satisfaction which is in itself a motivating factor.

Conversely, the problem with such leisure-based subsidies is that their efficacy is virtually impossible to quantify For

example, with target-related payments, employers can at least see whether the objectives are reached or not It might also be said that, if this budget was spent on (for instance) on the job training or day release programmes, the employees would achieve better career progression and have better job

prospects These matters are all easier to measure, especially

in performance reviews and appraisals, and may even help to reduce the risk of redundancy if the company restructures, downsizes or outsources its workforce

Overall, it seems that, while health-related subsidies

are superficially attractive, the lack of measurability is a

substantial drawback Spending funds on ongoing

training would appear to be a better use of company or Human Resources budgets

Topic :People tend to work longer hours nowadays Working long hours has a negative effect on themselves their families and the society so working hours should be restricted Do you agree or disagree ?

Working longer hours is getting more common in today’s society I personally believe that this trend not only has a severe impact on the workers themselves, but also on their families and the community as a whole Therefore, I totally agree with the idea of limiting working hours

A few decades ago, a person normally worked an average of eight hours per day Average daily working hours in recent years, however, have significantly increased to ten or even fourteen This, in my opinion, directly leads to

pressure at work For example, people who spend longer at work are more

likely to suffer from various health issues, ranging from fatigue to more serious problems like anxiety disorders or even stroke Failing health leads to

more sick leave , poor work performance and low productivity My cousin is a case in point Working nearly twelve hours on a daily basis, he frequently feels exhausted and makes more errors at work than he used to

I also think that extended hours of work has serious consequences for families and communities At the family level, busy working schedules prevent people from taking frequent family trips or even just having meals together

Relationships among members are greatly weakened if they cannot make time

for each other In terms of community life, heavy workload deters people from

devoting time to voluntary activity that brings benefits for their society My uncle, for example, hardly has time for local community service projects such as conservation work or working with a charity because he works more than sixty hours per week

In conclusion, I would argue that working time should be reduced since the frequency of long working hours exerts an adverse effect on employees,

their family bonds and their community
