Hebelieves that aiming for high grades makes studentschoose the easiest task and students’ thinking isreduced as they only learn enough to pass the exam.6 Suggested Answer KeyEverybody in the community should do voluntary workespecially young people. In my opinion, it benefits boththe local people and the young volunteers themselves.Firstly, volunteering provides young people with the
On Screen B1plus WritBk Key On Screen B1plus WritBk Key 12/08/2014 6:30 ΜΜ Page 5Keychance to gain work experience. For example, theycan learn a number of useful skills that they will needwhen they enter the workforce. As a result, their newskills will help them to find a better job.Secondly, volunteering can help to improve theirsocial life. For instance, they will gain usefulcommunication skills by talking to a wide range ofpeople. Consequently, they will become more matureand more confident in social situations.On the other hand, some people believe that insteadof volunteering, young people should learn moreabout money management. For example, they shouldlearn how to deal with financial problems. As a result,they will learn the importance of responsibility.All in all, I agree that volunteering is a valuableexperience that can benefit young people. Althoughsome people claim that money management is moreimportant, the work experience and life skills gainedfrom volunteering are much more beneficial.7 1 an essay2 students and other readers of the internationalmagazine3 my opinion on the topic with specific reasons andexamples4 formal5 two paragraphs to support my opinion and one togive the opposing viewpointworkload and should concentrate on gaining goodliteracy and numeracy skills for employmentopportunities. Vocational skills can be gained atcollege.9 Suggested Answer KeyThere are many parents who ask their children to dohousework or other chores. I strongly agree with thisidea.Firstly, parents should not be expected to clean upafter their children. When they get older, they shouldat least clean their own bedroom. This way, they willbegin to learn how to look after themselves.Also, doing chores teaches a child responsibility. Forexample, doing the grocery shopping helps them tounderstand about the cost of living and dealing withpeople. As a result, the child becomes more confidentand mature.However, there are people who disagree withchildren doing chores. They feel that they take up toomuch time. Consequently, children do not have timeto do their homework.All things considered, although chores should not getin the way of homework, I believe they can teach achild a lot. As Abigail Van Buren said, “If you wantchildren to keep their feet on the ground, put someresponsibility on their shoulders.”For-and-against Essays (pp. 10-12)8 a) 1 c‘2 b3 ab) Suggested Answer Key‘You can never get too much education,’ so thesaying goes. However, in my opinion, students donot need to have extra subjects added to theschool curriculum.To start with, the school curriculum is alreadycrowded. Adding more subjects would lead to awork overload so students would have less timeto devote to each subject. As a result, they wouldactually learn less.Secondly, the core subjects are the mostimportant. Adding extra subjects would takevaluable time away from literacy and numeracywhich are required in all jobs. Consequently,leaving the curriculum as it is means that studentswill have better career options.On the other hand, some people believe thatadding extra subjects will be helpful. For example,it will help students to learn new skills especiallyvocational subjects for less academic learners.Therefore, there will be less youth unemployment.All in all, I believe the school curriculum iscrowded and does not need any extra subjectsadding to it.

For example, they may have more resourcesfor research. As a result, they can get better grades.Secondly, studying abroad can help them in the jobmarket. For example, many employers like people whohave faced challenging experiences. Therefore, theyhave a better chance of getting a good job.On the other hand, there are some drawbacks toconsider. Firstly, there is the high cost. For example,studying abroad may mean getting into debt. As aresult, students may owe a lot of money before theystart working. In addition, they may experience alanguage barrier. For instance, they may not be ableto follow the lectures. Consequently, they may get lowgrades.All things considered, there are pros and cons tostudying abroad. Students must overcome languagebarriers and be able to afford it, then they canexperience new learning methods and get a good jobat the end of it. Overall, I feel that if a student has theopportunity to study abroad, they should take it.6 Key words to be underlined: essay discussing prosand cons of giving children regular money allowance7 Suggested Answer KeyMany children these days get pocket money.However, is this a good thing or a bad thing?There are some benefits to giving children pocketmoney. First, they can learn money management. Forexample, they learn they cannot afford to buyeverything they want. As a result, they understandthat to afford large purchases, they must save up.Secondly, it helps them to learn to plan ahead. Forexample, they have to make choices about when andhow to spend their money or not. Consequently, theylearn not to ask for extra money all the time.However, there are drawbacks to giving children anallowance. First, it can make children lazy. Forinstance, they expect to get money without earning it.Therefore, they do not learn to value money. Inaddition, it may encourage unhealthy habits. Forinstance, they may spend money on junk food. As aconsequence, they may develop health problems.In conclusion, pocket money helps children to learnmoney management and plan for the future.Although, it can be misused and may make somechildren lazy, I believe with parental guidance it canhelp children learn the value of money.Essays providing solutions to a problem(pp. 13-15)1 Key words to be underlined: the environment,English teacher, essay, modern cities, fewer urbangreen areas for people, this problem be solved,
