In addition, theperformance of computers is significantly better thanthat of humans. We make mistakes; however,computers do not. Therefore, they are a great dealmore accurate than humans.Opinion essays (pp. 7-9)1 Paragraphs two and three support the writer’s opinionand paragraph four opposes the writer’s opinion.Writer’sViewpointsReasonsResultsnot qualifiedto teachnot had proper not enoughtraining; doknowledge tonot know how cover all subjectsto teachmissdevelopingsocial skillsno classmates no competition toencourage themto try harderOpposingViewpointsReasonsResultsproceed atparent-teacher student does nottheir owncontinue when fall behindpace and time ready2 a) (Suggested answers)41234567I think - In my viewI think - My opinion is thatThis means that - For example,Secondly - In additionThis way - In particularOn the other hand - HoweverAll in all - In conclusionb) (Suggested answers)Elements of formal style: have competition fromclassmates to encourage them (advancedvocabulary), are educated (passive), fall behind

(complexsentence structure)3 a) (Suggested answers)Para 2Topic Sentence: To start with, sports are importantfor the general fitness and good health of children.Alternative: Firstly, the general fitness and goodhealth of children necessitate sports.Para 3Topic Sentence: Secondly, sports encouragepersonal development.Alternative: In addition, personal development isencouraged by sports.Para 3Topic Sentence: However, some people believethat learning literacy and numeracy is much moreimportant than playing games.Alternative: On the other hand, to some peopleplaying games is less important than learningliteracy and numeracy.b) A quotation is used to start the essay, and asummary of the points made is used to end theessay.5 Two paragraphs should support my view and oneparagraph should express an opposing view.5 (Suggested answer)Some people believe that books are not as good astheir film versions. It is my opinion that reading thebook is preferable.Firstly, with a book you get a better understanding ofthe characters’ motives. For instance, books canexplain the character’s inner thoughts and feelingsfrom his or her viewpoint. Consequently, the readerhas a richer experience of the story.Secondly, you can read a book anywhere without anyequipment. Since books are completely portable, you donot need a screen, electricity or batteries. As a result,reading a book is more practical than watching a film.On the other hand, watching a film is veryentertaining due to the visual effects, sound effects,and music. This means that you can simply sit backand be entertained. Therefore, it requires little effortfrom the viewer.All in all, I believe that books are a more valuableway to experience stories. Although they do not havevisual and sound effects and music, the characterdevelopment is better and you do not need anyequipment. As William Styron said, “A great bookshould leave you with many experiences, and slightlyexhausted at the end.”6 (Suggested answers)(Suggested answers)Alternative Beginning: Have you ever wondered whatschool would be like without sport? Well, soon you mightnot have to wonder. In recent years, parents and teachershave proposed to drop sports in favour of more academicsubjects. I could not disagree more with this viewpoint fora number of reasons. (rhetorical question/address thereader directly)Alternative Ending: All in all, it is my opinion that, despitethe time they take away from academic subjects, sportsare a valuable part of the school curriculum because theykeep students fit and healthy and help them developuseful life skills. After all, a future without sports is anunhealthy future. Hopefully, this future can be prevented.(give the reader something to think about)4 1 I will write an essay for my teacher.2 The essay will include the arguments that booksare entertaining and books are easily portablealong with an opposing viewpoint stating thatfilms have more impressive visual effects, soundeffects, etc.3 The essay will be written in formal style.4 The essay will have 140-190 words.Key words to be underlined: Longer school days,better grades, Underperforming schools, raisingstudent performance levels, lengthening their schooldays, six-and-a-half hours, eight, benefits, variedcurriculum, Some people, too short, lengthen thestandard school day, Explain, point of view, reasons,examples, essay (140-190 words).1 I will write an essay.2 The essay will include two points opposinglengthening the standard school day, and oneviewpoint supporting lengthening the standardschool day.3 The essay will be written in formal style.4 The essay will have 140-190 words.5 Two paragraphs should support my view and oneparagraph should express an opposing view.7 1 c2 a3 b8 (Suggested answer)Technology is playing a greater and greater role ineducation every day. Some people have evensuggested that students should no longer use5
ON SCREEN B2 INT Writing Key.qxp ON SCREEN B2 INT Writing Key 7/4/15 12:56 Page 6Keytextbooks, but be given notebook computers instead.In my opinion, this is an excellent idea.To begin with, computers would allow teachers touse more interesting material. For example, studentscould watch videos, listen to news reports or readarticles online. In this way, learning would be moreentertaining for them.Also, schools would save a lot of money. This isbecause they would not have to buy new booksevery year. Therefore, schools could spend moremoney on other things like sports equipment.However, there are people who believe that studentshaving notebook computers in class is not a goodidea. For instance, students could use them to playgames or surf the Internet instead of payingattention. Consequently, it would have a negativeeffect on their schoolwork.All in all, I strongly believe students would benefitfrom using notebook computers instead of textbooks.Although they could be distracting for students,notebook computers would be a powerful andinexpensive educational tool.For-and-Against Essays (pp. 10-12)1 a) (Suggested answers)Key words to be underlined: English class, work,teacher, essay, pros and cons, working fromhome, Write about, making your own hours, toomany distractions, your own ideas, for and against,140-190 words, reasons for your arguments.The essay is balanced because it has equalarguments for and against the topic.Arguments for1 make yourown hoursReasons/Justifications/Results2 do not have totravel to work- Start the day earlier orlater, more freedom andflexibilityArguments against- avoid commuting, savetime and money1 being alone2 easilydistractedReasons/Justifications/Results- No co-workers to turn tofor help, home-workersmay become anxious- Others may interruptwork, may not get workdoneb) The writer uses an objective statement to startthe essay, and uses a quotation to end theessay.6(Suggested answers)Alternative Beginning: Have you ever wondered what itwould be like to work from home? Well, many people allover the world already do! Although the advantages makeworking from home sound good, there are also a numberof disadvantages. (rhetorical question/address the readerdirectly)Alternative Ending: In conclusion, working from homehas its good points and bad points. Home-workers canchoose their hours and avoid commuting, but they alsoface the challenges of distractions and being alone. It ismy opinion that each person must decide for themselveswhether working from home would be a positiveexperience. (summarise the points made)c) (Suggested answers)Elements of formal style to be underlined: Inparticular (formal linking phrase), theinconvenience and the expense of commuting(advanced vocabulary), they are (full verb form),that there are no co-workers to turn to(impersonal tone).2 1234567891011121314Firstly - In the first placeIn particular - ParticularlyAs a result - ThereforeSecondly - In additionThis way - This means thatAs a result - SoOn the other hand - HoweverTo start with - To begin withThis means that - In particular,Consequently - As a resultFurthermore - What is moreFor example - For instanceAs a result - ConsequentlyAll in all - All things considered3 Correct answers: 1, 34 (Suggested answers)Key words to be underlined: Gap Year, GrowingTrend, students, take a ‘gap year’ before college,Some, bad idea, others, strongly in favour, a year offfrom their studies in between secondary school anduniversity, advantages and disadvantages, examples,your opinion, essay (140-190 words).The model is formal because it uses complex sentencestructures, advanced vocabulary, an impersonal toneand full verb forms.

In my opinion, althoughthere are some disadvantages, a gap year is anexcellent opportunity for young people. (using aquotation)Alternative ending: All in all, I believe that a gapyear is a good choice for students. Although theymay have trouble going back to their studies,students who take a gap year will learn skills thatare valuable to their future. The rest from theirstudies will also help them.
