 According to some
people bigger
companies and
industrial sectors should
be moved to the rural
areas. In my opinion,
the benefits of this
proposition outnumber
the drawbacks.
 Body one
• One significant advantage of moving industries to
regional areas is the significant decrease in air,
water and noise pollution. In other words,
companies and industries produce a lot of by-
products as waste. Their proper disposal requires a
lot of space which is not readily available in cities.
So, if companies are situated in urban areas, they
will not be able to treat the waste properly because
of space constraints. This will cause pollution in the
cities. Since population density in cities is very high,
the pollution will affect a lot of people. Since rural
areas are less populated, more free space is
available there for treating industrial waste. Hence ,
moving industries to the countryside is a great way
to reduce pollution.
 Body two
• Nonetheless, there is a major drawback to
move industries and companies to
the suburbs. Firstly, Industries and companies
give employment to many people around the
area. If they shift to a farther location, it will
lead to unemployment in cities. Another
disadvantage of shifting industries to the
suburbs is the decline in productivity because
of the delay in getting raw materials.
As....................... ……………..However, with
,
proper planning these problems can be
resolved to a great extent.

 Agree disagree
• Some people think that it is fine for professional
sportsmen and sportswomen to misbehave on or
off the field, as long as they are playing well.
• Do you agree or disagree with this opinion?

Or disagree two main reasons

• Sentence5 concluding sentence
 introduction
• Although, most professional athletes are
aware of their position as role models for
their fans and behave accordingly, there are
sportsmen and sportswomen who behave
poorly during matches and in their private
life. While some people find it acceptable as
long as their performance on the field is not
impacted, not everyone agrees with that
point of view.
 More explanation
• Those who put athletes’ performance on the
field above everything else point out that
competitive environment and immense
pressure that sports people are under,
affect their behavior. They argue that
athletes are entitled to privacy and their
actions before and after games should not
concern the general public.
 Body one
• I find this hard to agree with, because poor
behavior in sports people is incompatible with
their role in public’s life. The main reason why I
believe athletes should behave well at all times
is that their behavior is tremendously influential.
Spectators respect players and many copy their
actions and behavior. Therefore, if top players
misbehave or violate laws, some of the fans may
feel compelled to follow their example and
behave badly. For example, after an acclaimed
baseball player was caught using drugs some
years ago, the number of people who were
arrested for the same crime significantly
increased. This shows quite clearly why high
profile players should consider their actions very
carefully in order to promote a peaceful society
 Body two second
reason
• The other main reason is that their actions could
negatively affect their entire sports industry and the
popularity of their sports. Some companies sponsor
successful athletes who boost their brand recognition
and sales of their products. Players and sports industry
executives are financially compensated for endorsing
products and participating in commercial
advertisements. If they demonstrate poor behavior,
sponsors could direct their money elsewhere, and as a
result, sport’s matches could suffer due to lack of funds.
To illustrate, Sumo, a traditional Japanese sport, is
held every season thanks to resources donated by
companies. In a year when a Sumo player was
involved in a violent crime, no matches were held,
resulting in a large deficit of funds.
 H/W
• When new towns are planned, it is
important to build more public parks or
sports facilities than shopping centers for
people to spend their free time. To what
extent do you agree or disagree?
 opinion
• Some people believe that women should be treated as
equal to men when applying for a job with the police or
the military. Others think that women are less suitable
for this kind of job. Discuss both views and give your
opinion.

 introduction
• In recent years gender equality in
employment has been the topic of heated
debate. While some may argue that women
are less suited for certain jobs such as with
the police or the military, I believe that
female candidates should be treated the
same as their male counterparts.
 Body one
• Those who consider women to be unsuited for some
kinds of jobs including the police or the military often
hold that opinion because such jobs are extremely
physically demanding. As the female body has smaller
muscles and less physical strength compared to male
body, women may have difficulty engaging in
strenuous activity which can be exhausting even for
men. In military service, female soldiers are more
likely to struggle while defending themselves than
their male peers when they are forced to move around
carrying heavy firearms in the battle, which can
increase their risk of mission failure. Because of the
hazards and extreme conditions they may encounter,
some people advocate that women are not suitable for
work in these fields.
 Body two
• Nevertheless, I believe that female applicants should be
considered for police or military placements without a
gender bias, because women are more suited to certain
tasks. In the police service, female officers can perform
important roles on some occasions such as a body search
where male officers are restricted from touching female
convicts. In the military service, female nursing staff are
more likely to care better for injured soldiers since
maternal instinct makes them dedicated and heart-warming
professionals. Furthermore, for the sake of fairness to all,
job seekers should have an equal opportunity to choose
their jobs freely, regardless of gender. Many women have
the desire to work in the police and the military and some
of them have relevant expertise and qualifications.
Therefore, they should not be discriminated against in
employment opportunities for these jobs.
 homework
• Some people believe that the government
should take care of old people and provide
financial support after they retire. Others
say individuals should save during their
working years to fund their own retirement.

answer and include examples from your own
experience.

 introduction
• It is a widely held perception that
individuals do not spend time with family
members like before. This essay aims to
identify the sources of this problem and
offer possible solutions.
 Body one
• There are some reasons related to this problem. Firstly,
On the basis of research findings over the last few
decades, financial constrains play an important role in
case. As it has made both parents work and made it
difficult for them to get together after a hard long day and
spend any time with their children and even with
themselves being overtired. The second source of this
problem concerns with the use of technology. It is an
irrefutable fact that technology has kept family members
apart considerably and made them, indoor types, to stay
busy with sedentary and passive activities. A salient
example is the use of the cellphone which is widely seen in
every one’s hands nowadays. Unfortunately a vast
majority of people would rather work with their cellphone
rather than talk to others. This issue has led family
members to live in isolation.
 Body two
• Admittedly, there are two main solutions to
this critical problem. To start with, individuals
have to lessen the amount of workload to enjoy
more time with family members and friends. In
so doing, they would get together to share
more feelings and emotions. Further, though,
and equally important is to allot particular time
during the day to use their cellphones so that
they can dedicate more time being with their
family members and intimate friends. I wish
people realize the enjoyment of spending time
with others and appreciate the importance of
that.
