i need your help-task 2- children too much free time

Post by rairaichan0323 »

Some people believe that children are given too much free time. They feel that this time should be used to do more school work.
How do you think children should spend their free time?

A proper method of managing free time is playing a key role in student's success. Some people opine that pupils should do more school work at their leisure time. It is disagreed that schoolchildren should not simply spend excessive time on the school activity. This argument will be proven by analyzing how children can benefit from spending spare time on extra-curricular activities and volunteer works.

First of all, it is an undeniable fact that students should spend their free time to do outside class activities in order to maintain a good health. For instance, a pupil joins the football club; it can motivate him to do regular exercise. This makes it clear that individuals keep doing exercise regularly can enhance their body condition. As this shows that spending leisure time in these activities has a positive impact on the children.

Secondly and even more importantly, students should participate in social works on their redundant time. Given that they can contribute to the development of the society. To take Hong Kong as an example, young people work as volunteers to help some social organization to sell flags on Saturday. Thus, it can cultivate them to be empathetic person and also can give their efforts to the community. It is obvious from this that conducting volunteer works can have a beneficial influence upon the offspring.

Following this look at how adolescents can have a profoundly good impact by using their excess time on after school activities and social works; it has been proven that they should spend their redundant time on others rather than on the school works. Also, I believe that it seems highly advisable for parents to arrange different activities to their descendants.

A proper method of managing free time is playing a key role in a student's success. Some people opine that pupils should do more school work during their leisure time. It is disagreed that schoolchildren should not simply spend excessive time on the school activity.(<-- This sentence is confusing. You use two negatives, 'disagreed' and 'not spend time'. This makes the meaning unclear. Do you mean 'I don't believe children should spend their free time on schoolwork'?) This argument will be proven by analyzing how children can benefit from spending their spare time on extra-curricular activities and volunteer work.

First of all, it is an undeniable fact (<-- Is this backed up by research? If not, this is only your opinion, so you should start the sentence with 'I believe' instead.) that students should spend their free time doing outside class activities in order to maintain a good health. For instance, a pupil joins the football club; it can motivate him to do regular exercise. This makes it clear that individuals who exercise regularly can enhance their body condition. This shows that spending leisure time in these activities has a positive impact on children.

Secondly and even more importantly, students should participate in social works in their free time so that they can contribute to the development of society. To take Hong Kong as an example, young people work as volunteers to help a social organization to sell flags on Saturdays. This helps them to cultivate empathy and give back to their community. It is obvious from this that conducting volunteer work can have a beneficial influence upon offspring.

Following this look at how adolescents can have a profoundly good impact by using their excess time on after school activities and social works, it has been proven that they should spend their spare time on others rather than on school work.

Some people think the advertisement on TV are useless while others think they are valuable. Discuss both views and giver your opinion.


In a modern city, adverts are an indispensable of each individual life. People are easy to receive any new information through ads. While some would argue that advertisements are futile, many others would contend that they are priceless. These points of view will be discussed in this order before arriving at a satisfactory outcome.

On the one hand, some people are of the opinion that commercials on the media are pointless. They only pursue human to purchase something which is possibly wasteness. For instance, Apple stores will promote new iPhone model in the broadcast in every year. It can be argued that individual is unnecessary to alter other fashionable mobiles even the original phone is still functional. Thus, it is clear why some people gravitate towards this point of view.

On the other hand, many argue that advertising is precious as they are able to provide some important messages to the humankind. To illustrate, Hong Kong government frequently announces and promote some new policies on the television in order to draw local dwellers attention. Therefore, the domestic residents are able to receive such a valuable information. After analyzing these facts, it is clear why many support this claim.

By way of conclusion, there are strong arguments both sides. However, after analyzing these points of view, it is certainly true that advertisements are not pointless for the majority of citizens. Also, I believe that it seems highly advisable for the administration to give more informative messages to the public by advertising.

In many countries, students must leave school because of their poor behaviours. Some people think it is a good idea, while others argue that there are other ways to solve this problem. Discuss both views and give your opinion.


Discipline is very significant all people. In many nations, some disruptive pupils will be expelled because of their misbehaviors. While some people would argue that it is a splendid idea, many others could contend that there are alternative measures to tackle this matter. These points of view will be discussed in this order before arriving at a satisfactory outcome.

On the one hand, some people are of the opinion that worse-behaved schoolchildren should be asked to leave the institution. As they would influence others during the lesson. For instance, badly behaved students always create noise and force teacher to focus on crowd control rather than teaching. It can be argued that ill-disciplined pupils effectively rode the well-behaved majority of a proper education and they should be expelled from the college. Thus, it is clear why some people gravitate toward this point of view.

On the other hand, many argue that there are some suitable means to settle this difficulty instead of expelling. To illustrate, an academy can separate those mischievous and well-mannered children into different classes for educating. Thus, the disruptive pupils could not interrupt others as well as the teachers are able to provide more appropriate lessons to them. After analyzing these facts, it is certainly true that why many support this claim.

By way of conclusion, there are strong arguments on both sides. However, after analyzing these points of view, it is clear that the educational institutions should not expel any worse-behaved students. Also, I believe that it seems highly advisable for schools to establish more effective methods to amend students’ deed.

You recently had a meal in a restaurant and you enjoyed the food and service. Write a letter to a local newspaper to recommend the restaurant.

I believe that definitely you cannot find such amazing food in other restaurants. Finally, the service of this restaurant is excellent. The waiters in there are very professional, polite and patient. They know very well about their restaurant. They are able to offer a lot of nice recommendations to you which are according to your preferences.

It is my pleasure to introduce the ABC restaurant to you. From my point of view, it is the best French restaurant in our city. Thanks for your reading.

You are attending an intensive language training class. You have difficulty following one of the courses. Write to the course tutor to describe your difficulty and ask for advice.


Dear Mr. Chen,

I am writing to ask for your assistance. Would you please give me advice regarding to the English speaking course. I have found a difficulty of my speaking skills.

I have attended to the intensive English class for three weeks. I have enjoyed it so much, however, I have found that my skills of speaking do not improve at all. Although I have practiced during the class, I think it is still inadequate for me.

You have much more experience in teaching English. Could you please give me some precious instructions on how I can improve my techniques? Are there any books which are good for mending speaking skills? Could you advise me which one is suitable for me? Therefore, I could get it from the bookshop.

I would be grateful for any information you could give me in this regard. I look forward to hearing from you.

More and more people choose to live by themselves in the recent years. Why is the case and it is a positive or negative development of society.


In a contemporary society, people are increasingly tending to live alone in the recent years. Yet, it remains some disagreement as to whether the overall effect of solo living has been positive or negative. While there are certainly valid arguments to the contrary, it is agreed that the drawbacks of the living alone far outweigh its drawbacks.

Firstly, it is an undeniable fact that the solo living will create a giant problem of demanding a large amount of housing. In some areas, there are inadequate places for building houses in order to fulfill their enormous requirements. For instance, Hong Kong government always has found an issue of looking for places to build houses. This makes it clear that this living style has created a great burden to the administration. As this shows that this lifestyle has had a demerit impact to the community.

Secondly and even more importantly, a huge amount of financial burden for the authority in helping lonely senior inhabitants. The elderly people are in need of support from the local council as they cannot receive any assistants from their offspring. To illustrate, in every year the Hong Kong government is spending few billion for supporting older people who are staying by themselves. Thus, it causes a huge financial load to the government. It is obvious from this that such a mode of living has had disadvantage to the local district.

By way of conclusion, following look at how the individual living alone can increase a housing shortage matter and financial burden for the authority to take care of aged citizen, it has been proven that the trend of person living alone has generally been negative development. Also, it seems highly advisable for the community motivating dwellers live with their parents.

I would be grateful for any information you could give me in this regard. I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours sincerely,

Janis Lee

In a contemporary society, people are increasingly choosingto live alone. However, there is some disagreement as to whether the overall effect of solo living has been positive or negative. While there are certainly valid arguments to the contrary, it is agreed that the drawbacks of the living alone far outweigh its benefits.

Firstly, it is an undeniable fact that the solo living will create large demand for housing. In some areas there are inadequate levels of accommodation in order to fulfill their enormous requirements. For instance, the Hong Kong government always struggles to find real estate for building houses. This makes it clear that this living style has created a great burden to the administration. As this shows, this lifestyle has had a negative impact on the community.

Secondly and even more importantly, a huge financial burden is placed on the authorities in helping lonely senior inhabitants. Elderly people are in need of support from the local council as they cannot receive any assistance from their offspring. To illustrate, every year the Hong Kong government is spending several billion dollars supporting older people who live by themselves. Thus, it causes a huge financial load on the government. It is obvious from this that such a mode of living has disadvantages for the local district.

By way of conclusion, following a look at how the individual living alone can increase a housing shortage and financial burden for the authorities, it has been proven that the trend of people living alone has generally been a negative development. Also, it seems highly advisable for the community to encourage citizens to live with their parents.

Thank you Flick!!

Some people work for the same organization all their working life. Others think that it is better to work for different organizations. Discuss both these views and give you own opinion.


In a modern society, adolescents often alter their job easily. While some people would argue that employees should work for the identical association all their working life, many others would contend that working dissimilar businesses is favorable for representatives. These points of views will be discussed before arriving at a satisfactory outcome.

On the one hand, some people are of the opinion that they should work at the same company until they retired. One of the typical instance is Japanese companies which are encouraging their staffs to remain the same job for their whole career life. It is argued that they can completely comprehend the system of the company and also they can present their loyalty to the organization. Thus, it is clear why many people gravitate towards this point of view.

On the other hand, many argue that people should work for different associations in order to seek further development. To illustrate, in Hong Kong, young people often change their career in order to gain more working experiences and they employ passed valuable experiences on their present job. Therefore, it is good for the company to employ such workers who have obtained rich knowledge. After analyzing these facts, it is certainly clear that why many support this claim.

By way of conclusion, there are strong arguments on both sides. However after analyzing these points of views, it is clear that staffs’ loyalty is a significant key for the successful company. Therefore, I believe that it seems highly advisable for the companies to motivate juveniles to remain working at the same firm.

It is the government’s responsibility to look after people with problems such as the unemployed and the homeless. Do you agree or disagree?

In a contemporary society, citizens have an obligation to pay taxes to the administration. As the government can employ those revenues to provide services to the inhabitants. It is agreed that the local council has a duty to take care of dwellers with difficulties. This argument will be analyzed by looking at how the local council concerns those individuals who have problems can remain the order of society and improve citizens’ living standard.

First of all, it is an undeniable fact that authority has a responsibility to maintain social order by offering assistances to the folks with issues. For instance, in a recent year, there are several demonstrations in Hong Kong due to an exorbitant price of housing. This makes it clear that such unsatisfied feeling among the citizens may induce antisocial revolution and considerably influence on the economy. As this shows that in order to remain stable living circumstance, the local council has an onus to give assistances to those people

Secondly and even more importantly, if the government aids those helpless citizens, it could improve residents’ living standard generally. To illustrate, the Hong Kong council has organized some associations to assist unemployed people to look for a job or arrange homeless people to accommodate in the public houses. Thus, obtaining support from the administration poor people could improve their standard of living. It is obvious from this that the government has an obligation to help individual out of the destitution.

By way of conclusion, following a this look at how the administration can stabilize the social order and mend dwellers’ living standard, it has been proven that it indeed has a duty to take care of the individuals with difficulties. Also, I believe that it seems highly advisable for the local council to establish more useful measures to assist people.
