WRITING TASK 2: AGREE- DISAGREE ESSAYS
Extreme sports such as sky diving and skiing are very dangerous and should be banned.
To what extent do you agree or disagree with this view?
Sample essay:
In recent years, extreme sports have become increasingly popular, and some people argue that
governments should prohibit them. I completely disagree with the idea that these sports are too
dangerous, and I therefore believe that they should not be banned.
In my opinion, so-called extreme sports are not as dangerous as many people think. All sports
involve some element of risk, and there should always be clear regulations and safety procedures to
reduce the possibility of accidents. People who take part in extreme sports are usually required to
undergo appropriate training so that the dangers are minimised. For example, anyone who wants to try
skydiving will need to sign up for lessons with a registered club, and beginners are not allowed to dive
solo; they must be accompanied by an experienced professional. Finally, the protective equipment and
technology used in sports from motor racing to mountain climbing is constantly improving safety.
While I support regulations and safety measures, I believe that it would be wrong, and almost
impossible, to ban extreme sports. In the first place, we should all be free to decide how we spend
our leisure time; as long as we understand the risks, I do not believe that politicians should stop us
from enjoying ourselves. However, an even stronger argument against such a ban would be the
difficulty of enforcing it. Many of the most risky sports, like base jumping or big wave surfing, are
practised far away from the reach of any authorities. I cannot imagine the police being called to stop
people from parachuting off a mountain face or surfing on an isolated beach.
In conclusion, I would argue that people should be free to enjoy extreme sports as long as they
understand the risks and take the appropriate precautions

INTRO:
The manager positions in many organisations are usually elders these days, while some
people hold the belief that youngster leaders should be better. In my viewpoint, there are
more benefits than young people when senior managers work in managing a company.
To begin with, young people can be a good leaders for many reasons. Firstly, they are
creators. People are more creative when they are young and young managers tend to come
up with innovative ideas. Consequently, they can develop their companies with a major
strategy based on that. Next, they are much better in physical health in which they can handle
heavy workloads and work under job pressure for long hours compared to older people who
just work in the short term.
On the other hand, there are various compelling reasons why people think that senior people
can become the ideal leaders. The main reason for this is that older people have more
experience than the youngsters. They seem to work their whole life, which can explain why
they tend to be more calm when faced with difficult situations in the company and know how
to react in that context.
