Part II. Essay Writing
Topic 1: In some countries, people are no longer allowed to smoke in many
public places and office buildings. Do you think this is a good rule or a bad
rule? Use specific reasons and details to support your position.
Nowadays, more and more people smoke although it wastes money and destroys
their health. We can see people smoke everywhere such as in their house, in a
restaurant, in a bar or even in offices. In some countries, people are no longer allowed to
smoke in many public places and office buildings. I strongly believe that it is a good rule
because of the following reasons.
Firstly, smoking is not good for both the smokers and the people close by. Smoking
not only affects to the smokers but also the passive smokers who inhale the smoke or
stay with the smokers when they smoke. They can also suffer from many diseases such
as cancer, some diseases regarding lung.
Secondly, further and even more importantly, it can lead to the flame. There are
many places that are really dangerous if it meets something to cause the fire. For
example, if you smoke in an office building or a factory where have so many things
flammable and you throw the cigarette in offices or factories without extinguishing the
fire, it may produce the fire in all the building. Thus, people must be really careful if they
smoke in the hazardous places.
In conclusion, I believe that the government should ban the smoke throughout the
world, as the consequences, they will not be in the greatest health, not waste their time
a lot and not create more and more fire. I will try my best to prevent every person who I
meet from smoking.
Topic 2: Some people prefer to eat at food stands or restaurants. Other
people prefer to prepare and eat food at home. Which do you prefer? Use
specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
Nowadays, people are busy working, so they don’t have time to cook at home.
Most of them prefer to eat at food stands or restaurants. Personally, eating at home is
better than eating out because of the following reasons.
First of all, eating at home is healthier than eating in a restaurant. As you know,
many restaurants do not purchase fresh foods since they would like to decrease the cost
of meals. They do not attend to the cleanliness and hygiene of food. Hence, some people
get poisoned by eating in restaurants. It’s particular dangerous for children because they
are more vulnerable and can be easily ill from the poor quality of food. Moreover, many
people eat using the same dishes and drink from the same cups and bottles which are
not clean, if these things are not clean, they can be extremely dangerous for human
health. Almost all the items prepared at home are cooked with great care and as it’s a
matter of our health issue, we choose the fresh and best ingredients.
Secondly, to prepare and eat food at home can be more economic especially for a
family. Eating in a restaurant costs a great deal of money. Almost all of the dishes cost at
least 3-4 times higher than those home-made foods. The good restaurants that maintain
the quality and hygiene of food cost a lot that average people won’t be able to
accommodate. Eating at home is cheaper because it reduces the cost by many ways like
it cuts travelling cost to restaurants; I do not need to give tips, do not need to pay tax
and service charge at my home. For example: dinner usually cost $ 10 -15 in a
restaurant versus $ 1-3 at home.
In conclusion, food prepared at home can save a lot of money and considering the
healthy facts I prefer to prepare and eat foods at home.
Topic 3: It is better for children to grow up in the countryside than in a big city.
Do you agree or disagree? Use specific reasons and examples to develop your
essay.
Where is the better place for children to grow up, the countryside or the big city?
The answer to this questions differs from individuals. As far as I am concerned, it is
better for children to grow up in a big city.
First of all, the quality of education and medicine in a big city are better compared
with rural areas. Children should be educated by qualified teachers but the countryside
can’t create that kind of condition for education and a large number of their teachers
didn’t even end up the university education. Good education is the earnest of success in
the future. But not only a bright future depends on the education of the children, it also
depends on proper medical treatment and facilities of medicine. Without vaccination,
young children might get ill or even die from fatal diseases. To prevent this, in cities
almost every month child is gone through medicine check and necessary injections are
done to him.
Secondly, children living in a big city have more opportunities to choose from what
they want to do. They can choose to attend ballet school, school of art, gymnastics, etc.
For the long run, it is good for them. They will be better prepared for a life in a "real
world" and they will have more chances to make a good career and succeed. Moreover,
a big city usually has many entertaining centers with movie theatres and play stations.
When I was a child, I liked to go to the movie theatre with my parents to watch a
premiere.
To summarize, I agree with those people who want to raise their children in a city.
The plenty of opportunities offered by a city helps children to find what they really like
and be the best at it. Moreover, children get a better medical service that is good for
their health and better education which is good for their future.
Topic 4: Employers should pay young people the same salary as older
colleagues doing the same job. To what extent do you agree or disagree? Use
specific reasons and examples to develop your essay.
How do employer determine how much to pay specific employee to do a job?
There is an opinion that young employees should be paid the same amount of money as
older people if they do identical work. In my perspective, I strongly disagree with this
view for some main reasons.
First of all, it is about the background and experience of the older employees. They
can comprehend complete problem, so they often make decisions or ways can help
company reduce risk and save time at work. In addition, when they front to complex
questions, they always keep calm, take strategies, and solve well. As a result of longer
working period at company, so they are worth receiving a larger salary.
Furthermore, paying money to older people bigger than young colleagues reflect
the thankfulness of company to people who devote their life to working. Not only that,
this encourage young people working harder, and dedicate more and more for company.
That leads to the result that company develops strongly.
In conclusion, older employees should be paid higher-money to charge for great
contribution of them with company, and it also makes a target for young people to try.
Topic 5: Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Businesses
should do anything they can to make a profit. Use specific reasons and
examples to support your opinion.
Every businesses goal is to earn profit, as it is essential for survival and growth.
Business can not be survived without taking risk. Therefore, several businesses tries to
do everything to get profits regardless of impacting their customers’ health or destroying
environment. I do not agree with the statement that businesses should do anything they
can to make a profit. I state my opinion on the following points.
To begin with, if business is allowed to do anything they like in generating profits,
then there would be a serious threat to the environment. Many companies and
corporations are building projects based on their commercial senses, without assessing
the impact of them to the surrounding areas. In many cases, there were a lot of energy
companies that had demolished forest areas, which were the home to various kinds of
endangered animals. Should there be no restrictions on these companies, the world will
gradually lose its' biodiversity.
In addition, because of high profits several businesses produce bad products that
impact seriously on people’s health. It has been reported that in order to save
production costs and to increase profit margins, a lot of manufacturing companies have
used dangerous ingredients as a part of their production process. There are more and
more people suffering from various diseases due to eating dirty food or eating food
containing chemical. These unhealthy practices would be a serious threat to many
societies and communities.
In conclusion, I personally disagree if people could do anything to make their
business profit. Without the existences of business restrictions, law and policies, then it
would generate a devastating problem for mankind, such as deforestation and human
trafficking.
Topic 6: People listen to music for different reasons and at different times.
Why is music important to many people. Support your answer with specific
reasons and examples.
It is a well known fact that people listen to music for different reasons and at
different times. In my opinion, there are many reasons for listening to music and people
have their own difference. I think music is another language that makes the difference
meaningless. I will analyze why music is important to many people!
Firstly, there are many genders of music, such as pop and rock. Right now, people
are more interested in listening to music than watching TV when they are have much
time. Actually, every person has reasons to listen the music. Music can make people feel
calm and enjoy for some people who have problem. I think listening to music while
singing a song or play ing a music instrument is an interesting activity. Secondly, some
people are addicted to listening the music, especially for teenagers. People who like
music are mostly from adults and teenagers. Actually, I really enjoy listening to music.
Usually, I follow my mood when I listen to music and i think it makes me very happy.
However, music also becomes more important for some people, such as singers
and song writers. Singers or instrument players always listen to music to develop their
skills on music. Music is their living and they depend on it for their life. Besides, music is
more important for people who make music as a business field, such as businessmen of
music stores.
To sum up, music is a universal language because all of people can enjoy it. I think
for some people, music is their profit because their lives depend on it.
Topic 7: Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Watching TV
is bad for children. Use specific reasons and examples to develop your essay.
Today, television becomes a popular entertainment. Many people think that this
kind of entertainment is good for children while others do not agree with this idea. In my
opinion, watching television is not good for children because of several reasons.
Firstly, television contains many bad programs which make them easily become
crimes. In facts, a lot of children are intensively influenced by violent films which often
appear on TV. Some of them become familiar with violence and having tendency to use
violence in schools. Moreover, advertisements which sometimes present expensive
stuffs such as mobile phones, mp3 or laptop, cause children waste a lot of money on
them. In some cases, a number of them even steal their parent’s money just because
they need a thing that they desire. Therefore, TV is not a healthy entertaining medium
for children.
Second, TV sometimes is a reason for bad performance of children in schools.
Many children spend lots of times on TV because it has so many interesting programs. It
is sure that the more time children experience on watching, the less time they spend on
studying. According to Institution of Children Investigation on Health Journal, they state
that each of normal child in American cities spend 3 hours per day on watching TV. This
Institution also assumes that children wasting 2 hour per day on TV usually get higher
grades than grades of children wasting 4 hour per day on it. In addition, spending a lot of
time in front of TV also makes children face bad heath which importantly cause them
unable get better scores.
In summary, TV can influence badly on mind and study of children. We need bring
them into other activities that have advantages for them such as playing sports and
swimming.
Topic 8: Some people prefer to spend their free time outdoors. Other people
prefer to spend their leisure time indoors. Would you prefer to be outside or
would you prefer to be inside for your leisure activities? Use specific reasons
and examples to explain your choice.
Nowadays spending leisure time is one of the most important concerns for people,
especially for youth. Some people like to spend their spare time indoors. On the other
hand, most of the people including me prefer to schedule to going outdoors in our free
time.
The main reason of selection outdoors is enjoying weather and landscapes.
Definitely, everyone has experienced nice climate of special green lands which are
suitable for camping, there gave wonderful feeling to visitors. Although going to wild
land and nature has some struggles and its advantages are outweighed. Being outdoors
not only we can enjoy the beauty of nature and good weather but also we can
experience amazing feeling of adventure. For example, I remember three years ago
when I was a High school student in Berlin. One of my friends and I decided to go to a
waterfall near Berlin, we enjoyed a lot in that green jungle with nice weather. In fact, that
made our spirit fresh. Indeed, I am concerned that the best choice for spending free time
is going outdoors.
The second reason which leads me to prefer outdoors is freedom that offers us.
Undoubtedly, if we are outdoors, we will be able to join a variety of wonderful activities
like singing, playing, cooking odd foods, and doing some ridiculous actions. For instance,
a couple weeks ago I went outdoors with my friends, we did lots of interesting things. For
example, we played some traditional plays, and also we had a great dancing time, and
at night we cooked a very odd meal for ourselves. Therefore, I am positive that, outdoor
is the best place for having freedom and doing some ridiculous things with friends.
In short, spending leisure time outdoors is preferable because of a variety of its
advantages for us. Actually, enjoying weather and views, freedom, and changing mood
are the results of spending time outdoors. I believe that, it is essential for individuals to
be sometimes far away from their house.

Topic 1: In some countries, people are no longer allowed to smoke in many
public places and office buildings. Do you think this is a good rule or a bad
rule? Use specific reasons and details to support your position.

Nowadays, more and more people smoke although it wastes money and destroys
their health. We can see people smoke everywhere such as in their house, in a
restaurant, in a bar or even in offices. In some countries, people are no longer allowed to
smoke in many public places and office buildings. I strongly believe that it is a good rule
because of the following reasons.
Firstly, smoking is not good for both the smokers and the people close by. Smoking
not only affects to the smokers but also the passive smokers who inhale the smoke or
stay with the smokers when they smoke. They can also suffer from many diseases such
as cancer, some diseases regarding lung.
Secondly, further and even more importantly, it can lead to the flame. There are
many places that are really dangerous if it meets something to cause the fire. For
example, if you smoke in an office building or a factory where have so many things
flammable and you throw the cigarette in offices or factories without extinguishing the
fire, it may produce the fire in all the building. Thus, people must be really careful if they smoke in the hazardous places.
In conclusion, I believe that the government should ban the smoke throughout the
world, as the consequences, they will not be in the greatest health, not waste their time
a lot and not create more and more fire. I will try my best to prevent every person who I meet from smoking.
Topic 2: Some people prefer to eat at food stands or restaurants. Other
people prefer to prepare and eat food at home. Which do you prefer? Use
specific reasons and examples to support your answer.

Nowadays, people are busy working, so they don’t have time to cook at home.
Most of them prefer to eat at food stands or restaurants. Personally, eating at home is
better than eating out because of the following reasons.
First of all, eating at home is healthier than eating in a restaurant. As you know,
many restaurants do not purchase fresh foods since they would like to decrease the cost
of meals. They do not attend to the cleanliness and hygiene of food. Hence, some people
get poisoned by eating in restaurants. It’s particular dangerous for children because they
are more vulnerable and can be easily ill from the poor quality of food. Moreover, many
people eat using the same dishes and drink from the same cups and bottles which are
not clean, if these things are not clean, they can be extremely dangerous for human
health. Almost all the items prepared at home are cooked with great care and as it’s a
matter of our health issue, we choose the fresh and best ingredients.
Secondly, to prepare and eat food at home can be more economic especially for a
family. Eating in a restaurant costs a great deal of money. Almost all of the dishes cost at
least 3-4 times higher than those home-made foods. The good restaurants that maintain
the quality and hygiene of food cost a lot that average people won’t be able to
accommodate. Eating at home is cheaper because it reduces the cost by many ways like
it cuts travelling cost to restaurants; I do not need to give tips, do not need to pay tax
and service charge at my home. For example: dinner usually cost $ 10 -15 in a
restaurant versus $ 1-3 at home.
In conclusion, food prepared at home can save a lot of money and considering the
healthy facts I prefer to prepare and eat foods at home.
Topic 3: It is better for children to grow up in the countryside than in a big city.
Do you agree or disagree? Use specific reasons and examples to develop your essay.

Where is the better place for children to grow up, the countryside or the big city?
The answer to this questions differs from individuals. As far as I am concerned, it is
better for children to grow up in a big city.
First of all, the quality of education and medicine in a big city are better compared
with rural areas. Children should be educated by qualified teachers but the countryside
can’t create that kind of condition for education and a large number of their teachers
didn’t even end up the university education. Good education is the earnest of success in
the future. But not only a bright future depends on the education of the children, it also
depends on proper medical treatment and facilities of medicine. Without vaccination,
young children might get ill or even die from fatal diseases. To prevent this, in cities
almost every month child is gone through medicine check and necessary injections are done to him.
Secondly, children living in a big city have more opportunities to choose from what
they want to do. They can choose to attend ballet school, school of art, gymnastics, etc.
For the long run, it is good for them. They will be better prepared for a life in a "real
world" and they will have more chances to make a good career and succeed. Moreover,
a big city usually has many entertaining centers with movie theatres and play stations.
When I was a child, I liked to go to the movie theatre with my parents to watch a premiere.
To summarize, I agree with those people who want to raise their children in a city.
The plenty of opportunities offered by a city helps children to find what they really like
and be the best at it. Moreover, children get a better medical service that is good for
their health and better education which is good for their future.
Topic 4: Employers should pay young people the same salary as older
colleagues doing the same job. To what extent do you agree or disagree? Use
specific reasons and examples to develop your essay.

How do employer determine how much to pay specific employee to do a job?
There is an opinion that young employees should be paid the same amount of money as
older people if they do identical work. In my perspective, I strongly disagree with this view for some main reasons.
First of all, it is about the background and experience of the older employees. They
can comprehend complete problem, so they often make decisions or ways can help
company reduce risk and save time at work. In addition, when they front to complex
questions, they always keep calm, take strategies, and solve well. As a result of longer
working period at company, so they are worth receiving a larger salary.
Furthermore, paying money to older people bigger than young colleagues reflect
the thankfulness of company to people who devote their life to working. Not only that,
this encourage young people working harder, and dedicate more and more for company.
That leads to the result that company develops strongly.
In conclusion, older employees should be paid higher-money to charge for great
contribution of them with company, and it also makes a target for young people to try.
Topic 5: Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Businesses
should do anything they can to make a profit. Use specific reasons and
examples to support your opinion.

Every businesses goal is to earn profit, as it is essential for survival and growth.
Business can not be survived without taking risk. Therefore, several businesses tries to
do everything to get profits regardless of impacting their customers’ health or destroying
environment. I do not agree with the statement that businesses should do anything they
can to make a profit. I state my opinion on the following points.
To begin with, if business is allowed to do anything they like in generating profits,
then there would be a serious threat to the environment. Many companies and
corporations are building projects based on their commercial senses, without assessing
the impact of them to the surrounding areas. In many cases, there were a lot of energy
companies that had demolished forest areas, which were the home to various kinds of
endangered animals. Should there be no restrictions on these companies, the world will
gradually lose its' biodiversity.
In addition, because of high profits several businesses produce bad products that
impact seriously on people’s health. It has been reported that in order to save
production costs and to increase profit margins, a lot of manufacturing companies have
used dangerous ingredients as a part of their production process. There are more and
more people suffering from various diseases due to eating dirty food or eating food
containing chemical. These unhealthy practices would be a serious threat to many societies and communities.
In conclusion, I personally disagree if people could do anything to make their
business profit. Without the existences of business restrictions, law and policies, then it
would generate a devastating problem for mankind, such as deforestation and human trafficking.
Topic 6: People listen to music for different reasons and at different times.
Why is music important to many people. Support your answer with specific reasons and examples.

It is a well known fact that people listen to music for different reasons and at
different times. In my opinion, there are many reasons for listening to music and people
have their own difference. I think music is another language that makes the difference
meaningless. I will analyze why music is important to many people!
Firstly, there are many genders of music, such as pop and rock. Right now, people
are more interested in listening to music than watching TV when they are have much
time. Actually, every person has reasons to listen the music. Music can make people feel
calm and enjoy for some people who have problem. I think listening to music while
singing a song or play ing a music instrument is an interesting activity. Secondly, some
people are addicted to listening the music, especially for teenagers. People who like
music are mostly from adults and teenagers. Actually, I really enjoy listening to music.
Usually, I follow my mood when I listen to music and i think it makes me very happy.
However, music also becomes more important for some people, such as singers
and song writers. Singers or instrument players always listen to music to develop their
skills on music. Music is their living and they depend on it for their life. Besides, music is
more important for people who make music as a business field, such as businessmen of music stores.
To sum up, music is a universal language because all of people can enjoy it. I think
for some people, music is their profit because their lives depend on it.
Topic 7: Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Watching TV
is bad for children. Use specific reasons and examples to develop your essay.

Today, television becomes a popular entertainment. Many people think that this
kind of entertainment is good for children while others do not agree with this idea. In my
opinion, watching television is not good for children because of several reasons.
Firstly, television contains many bad programs which make them easily become
crimes. In facts, a lot of children are intensively influenced by violent films which often
appear on TV. Some of them become familiar with violence and having tendency to use
violence in schools. Moreover, advertisements which sometimes present expensive
stuffs such as mobile phones, mp3 or laptop, cause children waste a lot of money on
them. In some cases, a number of them even steal their parent’s money just because
they need a thing that they desire. Therefore, TV is not a healthy entertaining medium for children.
Second, TV sometimes is a reason for bad performance of children in schools.
Many children spend lots of times on TV because it has so many interesting programs. It
is sure that the more time children experience on watching, the less time they spend on
studying. According to Institution of Children Investigation on Health Journal, they state
that each of normal child in American cities spend 3 hours per day on watching TV. This
Institution also assumes that children wasting 2 hour per day on TV usually get higher
grades than grades of children wasting 4 hour per day on it. In addition, spending a lot of
time in front of TV also makes children face bad heath which importantly cause them unable get better scores.
In summary, TV can influence badly on mind and study of children. We need bring
them into other activities that have advantages for them such as playing sports and swimming.
Topic 8: Some people prefer to spend their free time outdoors. Other people
prefer to spend their leisure time indoors. Would you prefer to be outside or
would you prefer to be inside for your leisure activities? Use specific reasons
and examples to explain your choice.

Nowadays spending leisure time is one of the most important concerns for people,
especially for youth. Some people like to spend their spare time indoors. On the other
hand, most of the people including me prefer to schedule to going outdoors in our free time.
The main reason of selection outdoors is enjoying weather and landscapes.
Definitely, everyone has experienced nice climate of special green lands which are
suitable for camping, there gave wonderful feeling to visitors. Although going to wild
land and nature has some struggles and its advantages are outweighed. Being outdoors
not only we can enjoy the beauty of nature and good weather but also we can
experience amazing feeling of adventure. For example, I remember three years ago
when I was a High school student in Berlin. One of my friends and I decided to go to a
waterfall near Berlin, we enjoyed a lot in that green jungle with nice weather. In fact, that
made our spirit fresh. Indeed, I am concerned that the best choice for spending free time is going outdoors.
The second reason which leads me to prefer outdoors is freedom that offers us.
Undoubtedly, if we are outdoors, we will be able to join a variety of wonderful activities
like singing, playing, cooking odd foods, and doing some ridiculous actions. For instance,
a couple weeks ago I went outdoors with my friends, we did lots of interesting things. For
example, we played some traditional plays, and also we had a great dancing time, and
at night we cooked a very odd meal for ourselves. Therefore, I am positive that, outdoor
is the best place for having freedom and doing some ridiculous things with friends.
In short, spending leisure time outdoors is preferable because of a variety of its
advantages for us. Actually, enjoying weather and views, freedom, and changing mood
are the results of spending time outdoors. I believe that, it is essential for individuals to
be sometimes far away from their house. SPEAKING
