Some people think that the automobile has improved modern life and others think that the automobile has caused serious problems. My opinion is that the automobile has improved modern life because without having means of transportation like automobile, one would not be able to move around, as he wants and do.   In my case, I would not be able to run my day-to-day life efficiently if I didn’t have an automobile.  In the modern world, having an automobile is not luxurious as some people think it is one of the necessities in our lives.

I would have been obliged to use public transportation in order to do my business such as reaching to office or work place on time, to do shopping and other errands, to visit my friends and relatives.  I would have spent more time by waiting for the public transportation and walk certain distance to reach where I want to go.  When somebody got sick if there is no medical facilities nearby one will be obliged to carry the sick person up to where he could get a public transportation, which is very difficult to do. On top of that after having worked for certain period of time, I would like to drive out to get some relaxation.  Especially in a country like where I am living, you cannot survive without having an automobile cause the public transportation system is very poor.  

Of course, automobile can cause serious problems if you are not using it properly like having an accident by driving carelessly and polluting the air which we breath.  In this case, thanks to the researchers they have done a great improvement regarding polluting the air by creating an automobile without smoke and also air bag in side the car to minimize the danger to the driver and passengers.  

Automobile contributed a lot for the improvement of modern life and one wouldn’t by pass having the use of it.  It facilitates doing our business comfortably and being at our disposal anytime we need it.
----------------------------------------------
Conclusion needs to be improved.

Twentieth century has witnessed many astonishing and methodological improvements. Innovation of automobile is one of them. Advent of automobile definitely made the life easier and faster. To my opinion, although this invention has few drawbacks but still it has improved modern life. I would support my analysis by stating few reasons below.
        There is no doubt about great benefits of automobiles. The impact of the automobile on average peoples’ lives could be analyzed in three ways: technical, economical and social concepts.
Firstly in technical impact, the automobile formed a new proficiency in humans, which includes operating mechanical device by practicing and of course, memorizing new skills. For an example driving a car is not so sturdy, but it was one of the foremost attempts to make people work with machines.  Driving a car includes learning, practice, and memorizing mechanical techniques in mind. After learning to drive, one can do it anytime without even giving stiff thoughts about it.
The revolution of the automobile uplifted the economic level. Many businesses, markets are totally dependable on automobiles. Additionally, this invention has opened new gates to many new opportunities. Delivering commodities in nippy and secure way, automobiles play a key role. Today almost every business and market is totally dependent on different kinds of automobiles. All modes of automobiles are assets to our economic status.
World has become a global village, thanks to the invention of airplanes which is the one of mode of automobile. Automobiles have transformed the way of communication among people. New social interactions are formed, which were never existed before, again thanks to this significant invention.
In conclusion I would say, in spite of increasing air pollution, noise, traffic jams, still automobiles are foundation of modern life. This noteworthy invention of twentieth century made individual’s life easier and faster.

71 Which would you choose: a high-paying job with long hours that would give you little time with family and friends or a lower-paying job with shorter hours that would give you more time with family and friends? Explain your choice, using specific reasons and details.


5
I think a lower-paying job will bring me more happiness even if I do not live the way I would like to.
  First, I think that a job should be cosidered as a way to earn money to live, because otherwise a person will become a slave of his job. It will not "work" for him. Maybe sometimes I will regret that I have made the choise of the lower-paying job, because I may have difficulties, but it does not really matter. Somehow, I do not really know how, when you are among your famiy, your friends, the one you love, in fact you realize that you need no money to be happy.
  We do not have to forgot that we are not alone, because following a career would not help us to come closer to our family. In my family is the same. I hardly see my father twice a week and when he comes home I just feel I do not know what to tell him. We are so estranged. Sometimes the choise may be very difficult-I will have to decide if money or family is the thing I desire the most. I know what my answer will be, but would everyone choose that?
  In a conclusion I would like to say that happinrss cannot be bought with money as some people think. It will be pitty to sacrifice happiness for money and career.

In order to earn a living many people are engaged in jobs. Some jobs are high-paying with long hours of work while others are low in salary but the working period is also less. Now if I were given a choice to choose between these options then I would certainly choose the latter one.

Man is born free but he is in chains. He has various duties to perform. He must earn bread for his family. But in doing so he must not be devoted to his work so much that he has little time stored for his family and friends. Because there are times when he should give some time for his family. To strengthen the family ties, it is essential.

Now-a-days the society has gone to astray because there is no family values. Parents are busy with their work. Children do not find their parents most of the time. So they are with their friends most of the time and if they choose wrong friends then they are likely to go down the drain. But if parents are beside them at their time of need ,then they won’t feel lonely. Parent-children relation will grow.

Money is essential but it is not the only thing we should run after. If  a friend is in need ,we should be by his side. If a relative is ill ,we should manage some time to see him. And most of all if our family needs us, we should put aside all jobs and be there. We cannot escape from our duties by just saying that we are too busy in our work. We should keep our priorities in order.

Finally, it can be said that we earn money for our happiness and for the comfort of our family. In doing so we should not forget our ultimate goal. If we do, then our families will be in a disaster. In our difficult times we will have no friends to share our problems with. So we should get jobs considering the consequences it may bring. If a lower-paying job with shorter hours makes me happy in the long run, then it is the one I certainly will choose.

      













5.5
Some people believe that the most important thing in their life is to succeed in their occupation. Nevertheless,in my opinion,it is more important to be near your family.Therefore,if I had the chance to choose a job now,I would select the lower-paying job with  shorter hours.
First,working less I would have the opportunity to spend more time with my family.When I grew up, I want(as most of my friends) to have a family and many children of whom I want to take care.If I spent much of my day working, I would not have the opportunity of being enough time with my children.
And this is the most important and happy moment in our life,especially for a mother.Nothing could substitute the experience of taking care of your own children.
Moreover,I would have the chance to relax more if I do not spend my entire day working.I could visit my friends in my free time.Then,we could talk about what happen during the day,listen to muic,and do many more things.We also can go fishing(that is my hobby)in the weekends.Thus,I would not think only for my job or my problems but I would have the opportunity to relax.
All at all, I think that the lower-paying job with shorter hours is the best choice for me because,according to me, my family and my friends are more important for me than the job.The life is so short let us enjoy it more.

72 Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Grades (marks) encourage students to learn. Use specific reasons and examples to support your opinion.

   Learning is a great tool.  Grades are great reward for a good learning.  Attending school is a great way to acess your learning ability and performance. I believe that grades are great indicators of a good learning for the  following reasons: They prove how well he or she has learned the topic, area of weakness, and what it needs to be done to improve.
   Grades prove how well he or she has learned the topic.  Take for instance, if a person take an exam and perform poorly, then this prove that he did not prepare for the exam enough to pass.  Therefore, grades are great indicators if a person was prepared for an exam or not.
   Grades will also prove the area of weakness. Exams tend to gear the student on how to approach a particular exam and how to focus on the area of weakness.  For example, if a person is preparing for a national exam, he or she must focus on the areas where he or she lacks.  Grades will show which areas he or she performed well and the areas of poor performance.  This set a guidelines for a student to prepare more precisely to sharpen his weak area.
   Grades also help student study harder.  A student has the tendency to study harder if he or she gets a positive reward.  For example, I used to be very unhappy if I did not pass an exam.  Therefore, I took my unhappiness and anger toward my studying and put more hours into the subject so I can perform better.  I recall an incidence in high school when I had failed my official exam which it made me realize that studying less will not be the solution and studying hard was my only way to pass this exam.
   Grades are essential to every student and I believe it is a great way to gear student ability, and performance.  They do help a student to focus, work harder, and concentrate and the area of weakness.  Finally, assesment is a way of encouraging, and improving each student learning
------------------------------------
Try to improve variety--"great" appears quite often!!

  I personally agree that grades encourage students to learn.Grades enable a person to enhance his\her ability.
   
    Grades enable a person to assess his capacities and disabilities.By looking at one's grade one can roughly tell hou well one knows his subject.And this enables a person to overcome his flaws and improve his knowledge on the subject he is weak in.

      Grades increase a sense of competitiveness.we usually work hard to ger more marks then our friends and classmates.Grades provide a base and   reason for this sense of competitiveness.If there were no grades people wouldnt bother much about enhancing their knowledge and would take their studies easy.

       Grades tend to develop an interest towards studies.In todays world where most of the students consider studying a burden,a bad grade in their subjects would intiate them to do better.This would enhance their knowlede.
        
      Grades either good or bad are beneficial to students.If one gets a bad grade ,he would be embarrassed and would thrive to work hard thereby improving his scores and knowledge.And if a person gets good grades he would be careful not to reduce his grades .Thus eitherway grades play an important role in a students life.
        
       Thus grades are beneficial and are necessary to encourage students to learn.

  Nowadays, computers has very crucial roleinour life. We use them in almost every sphere of life such as business,education, health, and homes. today. nobody can think such a life without computers. It is obvious that computers have made our lives easier and more convenient. We can keep many important documents and files and reach and search various data via internet; moreover, they are very helpful to diagnose illnesses.
First of all, computers have made our lives easier by storing numerous important files.It is very convenient to keep information in the computer and reach it whwnever you want. Nowadays, nobody can imagine that how they could handle with millions of files, if computers did not help them store these files in securaty.
secondly, internet is the most important event in this centrury. people can reach and investigate whatever they wnat via internet just by sitting in front of their computers. Internet has made easier the life of many student and researchers because it serves like a library as well. to prepare a presentation about one issue is asnotdifficult as it was.
last but not least benefit of computer is to diagnose illnessess. today it is very easy for doctors to diagnose illnesses because of computers. they just give the information of patient to the computer such as  his or her illness, age, his or her genetical situation, sex.computer show that the correct treatment for this patient.
to sum up, computers have been in our lives unavoidably and they have brought many advantages to human being. they have made our lives more convenient and easier; thus, peeple are more comfortable than they were in the past.

   Nearly fifty years ago,the first computer was invented.Since then,with its volumne smaller and calculating speed faster,the computer is having a greater impact on our daily life.There comes the debate,its influence  is a good one or a bad one?Is computer an assistant or a trouble-maker? As for me,I hold the positive view that computer is an indispensable convenient.
    Nowadays computer can be found everywhere.It is used not only in mathematics ,physics,chemistry and astronomy,but in places like the library,hospital and military army to replace the works of man.With the help of the computer,we can do things that could not be done before.Conquering  the    universe,discovering new things,explaining mysterious phenomena puzzling us,our predecessors even can not imagine such things,are now made possible by computer.
    For sure,there is something man can do without the aid of the computer,but it is much faster and easier to accomplish the task using a computer.Take the library for example.If you want a certain kind of book,you have to go to the library,look for it through shelves,but perhaps it is in an unconspicuous corner and you just miss it or it is borrowed out.With the computer,things are different.All you have to do is to enter the key words,click the mouse,then it is all done.It really saves your time and strength.Numerous other examples might be given easily,but this is enough to illustrate the convenience of the computer.
    With the advent of the new century , many techniques and products concerning about computer is sprouting out,making our lives more convenient and enjoyable.Now everyday you can hear people talking about surfing on the net,e-commerce,e-mail,remote education.We are overwhelmed with these new conceptions these days.It is undeniable that computer is changing  our world into a new one.With the computer,people can do shopping,entertaining,learning wherever and whenever.Don't you think it is more convenient?
     Yet there are some people complain that computer make our life more complex and stressful. People have to keep up with its pace. This is true to some extent,but from the above,we can see that its positive influence outweighs the negative one.I believe that the future of the computer is very promising,and with its rapid development ,it can make our life more convenient and easier.

Excellent ideas, but erratic punctuation.

Information at our fingertips, Shopping and Banking  from our place of work or from home, Communications with our near and dear in a matter of few seconds, and so much more.  We can't imagine a life, let alone a single day, without the above facilities.  If computers haven't made our life easier, what has ?

The Information age is now at its peak.  The internet has proved to be a great resource of information.  Software, Hardware, History, Geography, Films, Poetry, Classics, name the field and you have thousands of websites providing you with the information you require in a matter of seconds.  A research or thesis, that would have taken couple of days to be completed can be done in matter of hours, saving us the trouble of  running around to collect the necessary information.

Banking and shopping has never been easier.  At the click of a mouse button, there are transactions being carried out, money being transferred and stocks being sold.  There is not a single bank without a web site today.  E-banking and E-shopping are the buzzwords of the Information age.

To talk about computers, and not mention the role it has played in the field of communications would be totally impossible.  E-mails and chat sessions have shortened the distance between people. Letters and messages that would either take days to reach are being received within minutes and in a cost-effective manner too.  

In this fast moving world, where results are expected instantaneously and accurately, computers give us more than what we require and faster than we expect.  The ways in which computers have contributed to each field is innumerable.  They have no doubt made our lives so much easier, that its impossible now to function without them.

Although there people who are critical about the introduction of computer in work places or at homes for not being able to adapt themselves to new technology, computers have many advantages that have made life easier and more convenient.  

First of all, with a computer, people can do many kinds of work in shorter time with less mistakes. Once a program is set correctly, computers process assignments such as calculations more quickly and acurrately than a person.  Moreover, there are several computer programs that provide checks of errors commited by an user, for example, the spelling check function in programs of word processor. Thus, saving time and reducing errors by using computers, people can invest their time for more creative work or activities.

Second, computers have provided a very convenient option of means of communication, that is, the internet.  Thanks to this technology, today people can communicate each others much easier at lawer cost and in shorter time by e-mails even when they are separated by huge distance.  Access to internet also make it possible to offer or obtain various kinds of information without limit of distance nor time.  For instance, you can look for information about touristic attraction of Egypt in the midnight, being at home in Tokyo after coming back from work.

Third, the skills required to use computers have been becoming easier each day.  While 20 years ago, "computer literacy" meant the knowledge about computer programming, today it is just a matter of use of a mouth and choise of icons.

Above all, computers not only have made life easier and more convenient, but also have been becoming more "user-kind".  It is not necessary to worry about negative effect of computers that lead people's life to be more complex and stressful.

Life has changed a lot since the invention of computers. The computer influences our lives and we influence the world by using the computer. I believe that the computer have made our lives a lot easier and convenient for the following reasons.

First of all, we save a lot of time using a computer and this makes life a lot easier. How much time would we spent waiting in banks in order to get the information we like to receive or we urgently need. With our personal computer we don´t even have to leave our homes. Online banking allows us to get the information through the internet and to get it immediately.

Second, we will save not only time but also money. Nowadays nearly every company can be contacted through electronic mail or internet. If we like to buy a special product we can do this using our personal computer. What we pay is the price for the product and the telephone costs for using the internet, but nothing has to be paid for gasoline or other transportation costs.

Furthermore, I would like to lay stress on the advantage which is created through the access to information via internet. Students, for instance, have to do a lot of research work for the university. With your computer you get an access to other universities all over the world.

To sum up, I believe that the advantages of computers outweigh the disadvantages of this invention. I recommend everyone who thinks that life is getting more complex and stressful should start learning more about the good sides of the computer.

In my opinion computers have made life easier and more convenient thanks to the variety of utilities they offer to us. Organizations automates their activities using them, saving time and money to themselves and also to customers. Computers help to handle information and data, considered between the most important resources of organizations.

Since computers revolution in the 80’s, personal computers have expanded so greatly and fast that today almost every organization base their activities on computers. They are everywhere we go, in banks, supermarkets, offices, public organisms, etc, automating repeatable operations. Information systems based on computers make it much easier to enter, manage and retrieve information. For example, banks can run transactions very fast giving a better service to their customers. Today we can buy a plane ticket on the internet, and get it delivered at home. People communicate with friends and relatives using the e-mail, saving money and time, because is cheaper than using the phone, and faster than sending a letter by mail. Never has it been easier to keep in touch with people anywhere.

The software industry has developed products that simplifies the work in all kinds of areas, such as manufacturing, servicing, financial services, aerospace, biotechnology, and so on. Software can process big amounts of information and make complex calculations that could only be performed by an expert in the subject after long time of work, if computers did not exist, therefore organizations can employ less qualified personnel to execute some operations, because computers do the hard work.

To conclude, I say I have no doubt that computers have introduced an enormous progress into our daily life and the benefits of their use are countless. It is remarkable the fact that they execute tasks more efficiently than if done manually, doing the work easier for people, fast and well organised.

74 Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? The best way to travel is in a group led by a tour guide. Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.

     Traveling is one of the best ways to enjoy ourselves. Many people like to travel and see different places. Some people travel alone and discover new places. Other people prefer to travel in a group led by a tour guide. Because I like meeting new people and like to learn as much as possible about the places I visit, I would prefer to travel with a group of people led by a tour guide. In this essay, I will explain my reasons.

     First of all, by traveling in a group, we can benefit from the travel knowledge of our tour guide and our traveling companions and from the language skills of our tour guide.  Without knowledge of the language, we might have great difficulty in communication. Also we should search for the places that we are going to visit in order to not to waste time. Because most of us are not professional tour guides, we cannot know all the important places that have to be visited. Tour guides can help us in different situations. So, traveling in a group led by a tour guide is better than traveling alone. Many tour guides know at least two foreign languages, so they help us to communicate when we have trouble. Tour guides also give us information about the places that we visit, so the trip becomes even more informative.

     Secondly, meeting new people can be very interesting when we travel in a group. We can build friendships that last forever. For example, two years ago, with my cousin, I went to Paris with on a tour with a group. There were almost thirty people in our group. We got along with each other very well. We went to restaurants all together, and it was really fun. If the number of people in a tour increases then, the transportation and hostelling costs decrease, and people can visit more places with less money.

     In conclusion, I can say that traveling in a group of people is the best way to travel. Traveling in a group allows us to save money, make good friends, have companionship, and learn important information about the place that we are visiting.

75 Some universities require students to take classes in many subjects. Other universities require students to specialize in one subject. Which is better? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.



5
this is the second version, I rewrite it.

Some people think universities should require student to take classes in many subjects. Others think universities should require students to specialize in one subject. If one choice must be chosen, I prefer student to specialize in one subject.

First, university is a place for student to further their education and knowledge. Because of the technology advance, no one can handle each and every aspect of the subject. Hundreds years ago, There are lots of brilliant people who can be mathematician, socialist, artist and physicist at the same time. Now we can only find people who specialize in less area. It is not because people are not as smart as before. It is because that each subject is more complicate and deeper than before. If one wants to be expert, he must dedicate all his time and effort in one area instead of many areas.

Second, by only requiring students to specialize in one subject, students actually have more choices to specialize in more areas. For example, some university may require student to specialize in mathematics and art. However this university is only good at mathematics. By only requiring student specialize in mathematics, student have more choices. They have the choice to apply for another school that is good at art, and study at the both school at the same time. This way, students get the best education they want.

In conclusion, university should require student to specialize in one subject. By doing that, Student get a chance to be an expert at this one area and if student want to be good at multiple area, he have more choice to do that.

It is true that some universitiye require student to take classes in many subjects and other universities require students to specialize in one subject. In my opinion both of this aproaches have advantages and disadvantages. In the present essay I will argue in favor of requirement student to take classes in many subjects.

It is great for one to know what exactly want to do in his life. If one can answer the question "What vocation is appropriate for me" than he can attend university that require students to specialize in one subject. This is the right way to improve knowledge and to make the most of courses.

But unfortunately there are a few people knowing well what exactly they are born to do. I am one of them. That is why I think taking classes in many subject would help student to make his mind in order to realize his vocational opportunities. Moreover, taking classes in many subjects helps one to increase his knowledge and to achieve new levels of it.

Of course it is a free choice to attend many classes or to specialize in one subject. But I rather attend university that requires students to take classes in many subjects. Because I am still incapable of making my mind which particular subject to choose, and because it is really important for one to know a lot of things, not only in the realm of his interests, but out of their borders.

Some universities require students to study different subjects, while some other do not. There should be some reasons behind these 2 practices. I am graduated from a university of the former type, and I tend to support the former practice than the latter due to my experience.

University is a place for knowledge. Sometimes, knowledge cannot not be easily classified into a single category. Take Statistics as an example. It reguires both logical thinking technique and good mathematics foundation for making the study more efficient.

In addition, a university is a place for building up personal connection, which is an important factor of success with it comes to the business world. Most of the business deals are concluded because people often help with each other when they recognize that they are from the same group, such as, races, schools or hometowns

However. Some people may think that if some time are spent on some other subjects that are not related to the purpose of their studies in the university, they are wasting their time. This kind of saying is not correct because with the assistance of other knowledge, a student will become more knowledgeble and actually will bring them more strength in an overall sense.

Last but not the least, with the learning of other subject, a student may be able to realize his/her real strength and interest. I have an old classmate who was from the faculty of medicine. During his first year of his study in the university, he had taken a course in Operational Management. He scored very high in that course and he enjoyed doing projects with the classmates who’s major is Business Administration. In his second year, he decided to transfer to the Business faculty. Today he set up his own company that sells medical equipment. I consider this to be a very successful example of the practice that I am supporting.

To conclude, I am in favor the practice that universities should require their students to study varies subjects. This not only allows student to recognize their strength and interest, but also provides a good environment for the cultivation of successful persons.

76 Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Children should begin learning a foreign language as soon as they start school. Use specific reasons and examples to support your position.

5
We live on a world where frontiers between countries is less mark than years ago. It is that because the countries interact in political, social, and economic aspects. It does necessary a common language, so many times we have to learn a foreign language. I think that if children study a second language as soon as they start school, they can learn easier and better that language.

First of all, it is well-known that the edge is an important factor to learn a foreign language. To learn a new language implicates memorize a lot of words. I think people assimilate this kind of knowledge well when they are younger. For example, I am studying English and see the differences between my younger classmates and me. They really do not have problems to speak and to understand many skills in grammar, listening, and reading. However, it is not my case, I began studying English at the same time that I started university, and I have a lot of problems to pronounce well.

Second, to learn a foreing language younger gives the opportunity to learn the language as well as the native language. When people learn a second language, usually they translate to their natural language. It does more difficult to learn the language. However, when somebody in his or her first years of studies learns a foreign language at the same time that his or her language, they do not translate, they only "draw" in their mind the meaning of the words. For instance, when I read in English, I almost always realize that I translate each word in Spanish, my native language. I am sure that it is not the best way to understand a written well.

In conclusion, I think that learn a second language involves many things such as motivation, teachers, programs, time, etc. It also depends of each one, but I feel that the edge is very important to learn a language well. So, I agree about studying a foreign language when children start school.


      









5.5
Normally a foreign language such as English is very important because it is an international language, different people from different countries in this world can use English for communication. Therefore, I totally agree with the following statement “Children should begin learning a foreign language as soon as they start school” because I think children at the age of starting school can learn and develop their skill faster than children at other ages.

First of all, children at the age of starting school can learn many new things. They can absorb much new knowledge. Second, I think the younger they are, the easier they can learn how to pronounce like a native speaker. And for me pronunciation is an important key for using foreign language because it is depend on pronunciation whether one can communicate with a native speaker or not.

In addition, I would like to use my case as an example. I began learning English since the first day that I went to school. I think I do it quite well. I can communicate with any English speaker. But now I am 22 years old and I live in France for working as a software engineer. So I had started to learn new foreign language again. And I found it was very difficult for me. More than that, the most difficult part for me is pronunciation. I have been living here for almost 1 year, but I cannot make someone at the supermarket understands me what I really want to buy. And I am sure that the problem is pronunciation not grammar or vocabulary, which I believe that if I had learnt French since I was young, I could do it better than now.

In conclusion, if we can arrange some suitable courses for children to learn a foreign language as soon as they start school, there will be more advantages for their learning and their development. I believe that they can learn successfully and use that foreign language as well as a native speaker does, which is the most important goal of learning a foreign language.

Language is the best mean of communication. In globalization era, one language is definitely not enough for one to be able to communicate well with foreigner. I strongly support the idea that children should begin learning a foreign language as soon as they start school. They will get themselves familiar with new language, improve hearing ability as the time goes by, and learn to speak new word early.

In my country, Thailand, it is compulsory for all children to start learning English at the age of three or four. However, they learn only a few word like one, two, three and simple animal names. It is more fun to know other languages especially when children begin to learn with very easy vocabulary. The learning process is more fun for them. Most language books for kids are colorful and fun to read. It gets children familiar with new languages without feeling afraid or bore to learn.

No doubt, early start means more time for practise. Children can improve their hearing ability from foreign movie, songs, or from tourists. They might not be able to understand the whole conversation but they will hear the word they have learned and know how to pronounce them correctly. I have read the book about bringing up a child where parents speak two languages; there is no problem for a child to learn two languages at the same time. Psychologist said a child will not get confuse but he will be able to speak two languages which will surely be one asset for the future.

In addition, children would start to say a word or sentence early and do not worry so much about mistake as most adults do. You cannot refuse the fact that adults always concern more about grammar and pronunciation of the new languages. This is one of the big barriers for learning. Adults are afraid and not say at all afterward. Language is a matter of practicing not avoiding. Children will start to say what they learn regardless of rule or grammatical part. And that is the best way to learn language.

To me, children can receive new things fast and their development is always progressing. Time and practise will make them master in new language, which will benefit them when they grow up. All in all, language is an art, which one should learn as early as possible. If one wants to see outcome soon, one must start sooner.

Some cultures believe that men and women have to study separatedly. I do not agree with this belief. In my point of view, male and female should share the same education environment.

Learning to respect each other is one of the contributing factor to have schools to both boys and girls. When children interact with other children of opposite sex, they learn that men and women are equal. For instance, a school football game with mix teams where boy and girls play together show them that no matter what the gender is, the same rules apply for all of them. As a result, they understand that men and women have the same rights and opportunities.

Another reason is that living an open world without paradigmas about differences between men and women avoids to have rebel generations of children or teenagers. If parents not allow their children to have friends from the opposite sex, and obly them to attend separate schools, they start to feel curiosity about unknown and prohibited things being more likely to make mistakes in their relationships such as getting pregnancy in early ages.

Finally, sharing the same schools prepared boys and girls to live in society. There are only one world where men and women live together. Consequently, if a children learn how to behave amongs other children without caring about genders, he will be ready to deal with the real world where both girls and boys build families and societies.

To sum up, attending the same schools, boys and girls have benefits because they learn to respect each other, avoid prejudgments about differences between genders, and get better preparation to face the real world where there are not limits to interactions between men and women.

There have been many private schools for only boys or girls recently in the world.  Many people believe that boys and girls should attend separate schools. Being to a co-high school, I strongly disagree with this statement for the following reasons.
  
First of all, I would like to point out that in none of places in the world, does only one sex exist. Both male and female live together, helping each other. Schools are not the only places to study subjects, but we also learn social rules, such as how to coupe with the other sex.

Secondly, living in the 21 century, male and female should have be treated in the same way. It is not the world where girls go to finishing schools to learn how to be good gladiesh and boys learn how to fight for their countries even though there are some exceptions in some countries due to cultural, religious, or traditional reasons. We should have the same education. To do that boys and girls should attend the same schools.

    However on the other hand, we should have separate classes for certain subjects, such as PE, where the strength of male and female is totally different. In order to improve the PE skills, for example, we should practice with students, who have the same ability, therefore boys and girls separately.  

    In conclusion, I strongly believe that boys and girls should attend the same schools. If there are certain subjects that they should have separate classes, then only these subjects should be separated. We do not have to go to separate schools.

Whether boys and girls should attend separate schools or not is a complex and controversial issue. Some people think attending separate schools is benefit for boys and girls to put their heart into studies. On the other hand, other people argue that boys and girls would be benefit from not only studies but also social skills if they are put together in the same schools. In the final analysis, I prefer the latter one to the former one.  In the following discussion, I would like to have evidence to support my view.

First of all, the disadvantage of attending separate schools is that the mutual sex will be suffering in the future because of lacking the knowledge about the opposite sex. One of my friends, for example, who was in separate high schools, lost the regular psychological mind after breaking up with her first boy friend. Because she didn’t know boys very well, she hoped they could get along well as the relationship between she and her girlfriends. However, her boyfriend didn’t do as what her girlfriends did such as going shopping for a whole day. She was disappointed by him and had an extremely terrible fight with him. They broke up in the end. She was hurt so deeply that couldn’t control her behavior any more.

Second of the place, the advantage of attending mixture schools is that boys and girls can help each other more efficient than those in separate schools. Because of different physical minds, they have different ways to think about questions. When they communicate together, they exactly can get some new ideas from others. I still remember after discussing with my partner who was a smart guy, I learned to consider the same thing with different ways. In this case, I really benefit from those experiences to work out every possibility in my work.

However, it may be true that in the mixed schools students will be affected by falling love so early. But the thing is when girls from separate schools meet strangers they are much easier be attracted by opposite sex than those from mixed schools. So this alone can’t constitute sufficient support to the view that boys and girls should attend separate schools.

Given the reasons discussed above, the conclusion, which may intertwine at the beginning of discussion and thus become more persuasive, may be safely reached that it’s not necessary for boys and girls to attend separate schools.

78 Is it more important to be able to work with a group of people on a team or to work independently? Use reasons and specific examples to support your answer.

Human beings are social animal. They need society to live. Living in society means living in peace and harmony, cooperating and learning from each other. So it is very important to be able to work with a group of people. As it is well said that ‘if you are good to others then you are best to yourself’, so accordingly if a person can cope in a group and work, that means he is also capable of working independently.

It is very important to be socialized. All the organizations and even homes will have a good environment if all members can cooperate. Working in a group means gaining leadership spirit, knowing each other, respect for each other, perfection, sharing ideas and knowledge, time consuming, easy decision making and over all accurate result. In fact, working in a group means the sustainable development of the organization as well as the individual.  If the person works independently for his own personal matter, it the different thing. But even then knowing how to response and how to tackle the situation in the personal life can also be improved by learning form others’ real life experience. For this sharing of information, experience and knowledge is very important. And all these activities directly link with group activities. To be able to work in a group means more than working individually. The one who can work in a group well means he is a friendly, responsible, punctual, listen to other members, respected by members and cooperative. These are very important virtues that each individual should have. Working individually may provide self-satisfaction and make the person independent. But as  ‘ being respected is more important being liked’, the person shall not have the respected and social life.  If a person can work in a group, he can adopt and work in every type of environment. Even he will develop a capacity to adjust himself in every prevailing condition that he may come across.  Actually we find people not as they are, but as we are, but while working in a group we get to know about each other, the values, the cultural diversity and over all life style. Thus, the capacity to work in a group means to respect each other for what ever they are, develop positive attitude and good behavior. In overall working in a group means to develop interpersonal skills, which is very important for developing ourselves and or organization. If the person works independently, the there will not be the second opinion, not remarks, and even it would be difficult to organize the work in large scale.

All the organizations in the world are implementing their goals successfully in groups, without which globalization would not have been possible. All the institutions, organizations and homes can only be good place to work and live if all members can work coordinately. Everyone can work independently according to the necessity and until and unless there is will. But everyone will not have the capacity to work in group which is in fact the important for the long term relationship, and vision.

Thus, to empower oneself and to empower our home, community, nation and world, everyone of us must be able to work in group.

Nice essay, but you need to break it up into smaller paragraphs.

Man has always been a social animal.  It is established that most of his achievements are attributed to social structure and team work.  So, it is more important to be able to work with a group of people on a team than to work independently.

Every person has a knowledge unique to himself.  No person has complete knowledge about any subject.  People have different approaches and contribute in different ways to the same cause.  So, a group of persons can contribute more to a cause than a single person can do.

Having many persons working together also helps in the fact that a group can execute its plans more strongly and in a better way, whereas a single person may fail to do so because of lack of opinion or resolution.

A team also promotes team spirit.  There is a healthy competition within the group members and this breeds innovative ideas by provoking thoughts.  On the other hand, a single person thinks in his own way.  The possiblity of verification and hence improvements are less than they are in a group.  I fear he may continue to make same mistakes and will realize them very late.

A team person draws ideas from each of his teammates and hence is more exposed to the current progresses and latest methods in his field.  A single person may need to put a lot of effort, (often impractical) to gain an equal amount of knowledge.

At some or the other stage in one's life, everybody should work wih others.  A person working in a team learns to live with many persons and work in harmony with strangers.  Meanwhile he gets rid off his individual complexes which might have adverse effect on one's profession.  These lessons he learnt in his team are also important assets in his personality that he carries home.  But, a person working independently would not have experienced these things.  He may find it difficult to work with others in future. He will have to start afresh and learn to cope with the group when it is inevitable.

Hence, I strongly feel that team work is essential in everybody's life.  It brings out the best out of a person.  Even a brilliant person cannot strive for excellence without anybody's assistance.  Therefore, it is very important to develop team's attitude.

79 Your city has decided to build a statue or monument to honor a famous person in your country. Who would you choose? Use reasons and specific examples to support your choice.

If it is decided to build a statue or monument to honor a famous person in my country, I would choose Mahatma Gandhi- The father of our nation.Though there are many other personalities who have contributed to the country and will be a part of the unforgettable glorious past of our country, but Mahatma Gandhi's contribution to his country and fellowmen is irreplacable.

Mahtama Gandhi was a person who made it possible to achieve independence from British rule. He believed in the principle of non-violence which he followed throughout his life till he breathed his last. Due to his realistic approach,our country was able to free itself from the shackles of injustice and slavery.

Mahatma Gandhi was an advocate by profession but he spent his entire life for his country and lived a most simple and disciplined life.He invented the spinning wheel which was meant to teach the people of the country a means of producing their own cloth for wearing instead of relying upon the foreign goods.The superior example of his simplicity and determination to achieve anything in life is a inspiration for the generations to come.

In conclusion, Mahatma Gandhi in my opinion truely deserves the respect of people  and also the title given to him as The father of the Nation. Any monument/statue in his memory can prove to be a mark of respect for the great personality.

Most cities have Statues, monuments, and memorials named after famous people who made a difference in some way to that Country. It is the wonderful way of remembering their good deeds and retaining them in the peoples memory for a long time to come.   Recently the muncipal corporation of the city where I live in, which is Mumbai, India decided to build a monument.

So they decided to take a citizens poll for this. Like most people in my city, I feel that a monumnet for Mahatma Gandhi would be an ideal way of giving our tributes to him and remembering him for the sacrifices he made for the freedom of our nation. Respectfully known as "The father of our nation" he was the person responsible for getting freedom from the britishers.

In the 1940's while my country was under the british rule, there was only one sole voice and the entire country and the whole free world stood behind him. The reason behind this being, his idealogy which was based on non-volience and non-co-operation against the british rulers. His non-co-operation movement and the swadeshi movement (which means using only things made indegenously) was so successful that the british rule crumbled under on their own and were forced to leave our country.

Never in history had such a feat been acheived without an armed revolution or a military assault.
So like most of the citizens of my city and young people like me who owe our freedom to this one man, I feel that this monument should be built in his name. This monument will remind all our future generations of this simple yet great man and showcase his will and determination for ages to come.
