2、h these views and give your own opinion.People have differing views with regard to the question of how to make our roads safer.In my view,both punishments and a range of other measures can be used together topromote better driving habits.On the one hand,strict punishments can certainly help to encou

3、rage people to drive moresafely.Penalties for dangerous drivers can act as a deterrent,meaning that people avoidrepeating the same offence.There are various types of driving penalty,such as small fines,licence suspension,driver awareness courses,and even prison sentences.The aim of thesepunishments

4、is to show dangerous drivers that their actions have negative consequences.As a result,we would hope that drivers become more disciplined and alert,and that theyfollow the rules more carefully.On the other hand,I believe that safe driving can be promoted in several different waysthat do not punish d

5、rivers.Firstly,it is vitally important to educate people properly beforethey start to drive,and this could be done in schools or even as part of an extended ormore difficult driving test.Secondly,more attention could be paid to safe road design.For example,signs can be used to warn people,speed bump

6、s and road bends can beadded to calm traffic,and speed cameras can help to deter people from driving tooquickly.Finally,governments or local councils could reduce road accidents by investingin better public transport,which would mean that fewer people would need to travel bycar.In conclusion,while p

7、unishments can help to prevent bad driving,I believe that otherroad safety measures should also be introduced.2.Some people think that in the modern world we are more dependent on each other,while others think that people have become more independent.Discuss both views andgive your own opinion.Peopl

8、e have different views about whether we are more or less dependent on othersnowadays.In my view,modern life forces us to be more independent than people were inthe past.There are two main reasons why it could be argued that we are more dependent on eachother now.Firstly,life is more complex and diff

9、icult,especially because the cost of livinghas increased so dramatically.For example,young adults tend to rely on their parents forhelp when buying a house.Property prices are higher than ever,and without help it wouldbe impossible for many people to pay a deposit and a mortgage.Secondly,people seem

10、 tobe more ambitious nowadays,and they want a better quality of life for their families.This-第 3 页means that both parents usually need to work full-time,and they depend on support fromgrandparents and babysitters for child care.However,I would agree with those who believe that people are more indepe

11、ndent thesedays.In most countries,families are becoming smaller and more dispersed,which meansthat people cannot count on relatives as much as they used to.We also have morefreedom to travel and live far away from our home towns.For example,many studentschoose to study abroad instead of going to the

12、ir local university,and this experiencemakes them more independent as they learn to live alone.Another factor in this growingindependence is technology,which allows us to work alone and from any part of theworld.In conclusion,while there are some reasons to believe that people now depend on eachothe

13、r more,my own view is that we are more independent than ever.3.Nowadays animal experiments are widely used to develop new medicines and to testthe safety of other products.Some people argue that these experiments should bebanned because it is morally wrong to cause animals to suffer,while others are

14、 infavour of them because of their benefits to humanity.Discuss both views and give yourown opinion.It is true that medicines and other products are routinely tested on animals before they arecleared for human use.While I tend towards the viewpoint that animal testing is morallywrong,I would have to

15、 support a limited amount of animal experimentation for thedevelopment of medicines.On the one hand,there are clear ethical arguments against animal experimentation.To usea common example of this practice,laboratory mice may be given an illness so that theeffectiveness of a new drug can be measured.

16、Opponents of such research argue thathumans have no right to subject animals to this kind of trauma,and that the lives of allcreatures should be respected.They believe that the benefits to humans do not justify thesuffering caused,and that scientists should use alternative methods of research.On the

17、 other hand,reliable alternatives to animal experimentation may not always beavailable.Supporters of the use of animals in medical research believe that a certainamount of suffering on the part of mice or rats can be justified if human lives are saved.They argue that opponents of such research might

18、 feel differently if a member of theirown families needed a medical treatment that had been developed through the use ofanimal experimentation.Personally,I agree with the banning of animal testing fornon-medical products,but I feel that it may be a necessary evil where new drugs andmedical procedure

19、s are concerned.In conclusion,it seems to me that it would be wrong to ban testing on animals for vitalmedical research until equally effective alternatives have been developed.4.Some people think that museums should be enjoyable places to entertain people,while others believe that the purpose of mu

20、seums is to educate.Discuss both views andgive you own opinion.-第 4 页People have different views about the role and function of museums.In my opinion,museums can and should be both entertaining and educational.On the one hand,it can be argued that the main role of a museum is to entertain.Museums ar

21、e tourist attractions,and their aim is to exhibit a collection of interestingobjects that many people will want to see.The average visitor may become bored if he orshe has to read or listen to too much educational content,so museums often put more ofan emphasis on enjoyment rather than learning.This

22、 type of museum is designed to bevisually spectacular,and may have interactive activities or even games as part of itsexhibitions.On the other hand,some people argue that museums should focus on education.The aimof any exhibition should be to teach visitors something that they did not previously kno

23、w.Usually this means that the history behind the museums exhibits needs to be explained,and this can be done in various ways.Some museums employ professional guides to talkto their visitors,while other museums offer headsets so that visitors can listen to detailedcommentary about the exhibition.In t

24、his way,museums can play an important role inteaching people about history,culture,science and many other aspects of life.In conclusion,it seems to me that a good museum should be able to offer an interesting,enjoyable and educational experience so that people can have fun and learn something atthe

25、same time.5.Some people believe that studying at university or college is the best route to asuccessful career,while others believe that it is better to get a job straight after school.Discuss both views and give your opinion.When they finish school,teenagers face the dilemma of whether to get a job

26、 or continuetheir education.While there are some benefits to getting a job straight after school,Iwould argue that it is better to go to college or university.The option to start work straight after school is attractive for several reasons.Many youngpeople want to start earning money as soon as poss

27、ible.In this way,they can becomeindependent,and they will be able to afford their own house or start a family.In terms oftheir career,young people who decide to find work,rather than continue their studies,may progress more quickly.They will have the chance to gain real experience and learnpractical

28、 skills related to their chosen profession.This may lead to promotions and asuccessful career.On the other hand,I believe that it is more beneficial for students to continue their studies.Firstly,academic qualifications are required in many professions.For example,it isimpossible to become a doctor,

29、teacher or lawyer without having the relevant degree.As aresult,university graduates have access to more and better job opportunities,and theytend to earn higher salaries than those with fewer qualifications.Secondly,the job marketis becoming increasingly competitive,and sometimes there are hundreds

30、 of applicants forone position in a company.Young people who do not have qualifications from auniversity or college will not be able to compete.-第 5 页For the reasons mentioned above,it seems to me that students are more likely to besuccessful in their careers if they continue their studies beyond sc

31、hool level.6.Several languages are in danger of extinction because they are spoken by very smallnumbers of people.Some people say that governments should spend public money onsaving these languages,while others believe that would be a waste of money.Discussboth these views and give your opinion.It i

32、s true that some minority languages may disappear in the near future.Although it canbe argued that governments could save money by allowing this to happen,I believe thatthese languages should be protected and preserved.There are several reasons why saving minority languages could be seen as a waste

33、ofmoney.Firstly,if a language is only spoken by a small number of people,expensiveeducation programmes will be needed to make sure that more people learn it,and the statewill have to pay for facilities,teachers and marketing.This money might be better spenton other public services.Secondly,it would

34、be much cheaper and more efficient forcountries to have just one language.Governments could cut all kinds of costs related tocommunicating with each minority group.Despite the above arguments,I believe that governments should try to preserve languagesthat are less widely spoken.A language is much mo

35、re than simply a means ofcommunication;it has a vital connection with the cultural identity of the people whospeak it.If a language disappears,a whole way of life will disappear with it,and we willlose the rich cultural diversity that makes societies more interesting.By spending moneyto protect mino

36、rity languages,governments can also preserve traditions,customs andbehaviours that are part of a countrys history.In conclusion,it may save money in the short term if we allow minority languages todisappear,but in the long term this would have an extremely negative impact on ourcultural heritage.7.S

37、ome people think that governments should give financial support to creative artistssuch as painters and musicians.Others believe that creative artists should be funded byalternative sources.Discuss both views and give your own opinion.People have different views about the funding of creative artists

38、.While some peopledisagree with the idea of government support for artists,I believe that money for artprojects should come from both governments and other sources.Some art projects definitely require help from the state.In the UK,there are many worksof art in public spaces,such as streets or square

39、s in city centres.In Liverpool,for example,there are several new statues and sculptures in the docks area of the city,which has beenredeveloped recently.These artworks represent culture,heritage and history.They serveto educate people about the city,and act as landmarks or talking points for visitor

40、s andtourists.Governments and local councils should pay creative artists to produce this kindof art,because without their funding our cities would be much less interesting andattractive.-第 6 页On the other hand,I can understand the view taken by many people that artists should notexpect the state to

41、fund their work.Most musicians and the majority of painters make aliving by performing or selling their artistic creations to fans or collectors;they would notexpect to receive any help from their governments.Industry sponsorships can be anotheruseful source of revenue for creative artists.For examp

42、le,media companies like themobile giant Apple are often willing to pay huge fees to inspirational designers who workon their advertising campaigns,product packaging,and even the appearance of theirelectronic devices.Finally,some artists may be lucky enough to receive donations fromwealthy individual

43、s.In conclusion,there are good reasons why artists should rely on alternative sources offinancial support,but in my opinion government help is sometimes necessary.8.Some people think that all university students should study whatever they like.Others believe that they should only be allowed to study

44、 subjects that will be useful inthe future,such as those related to science and technology.Discuss both these viewsand give your own opinion.People have different views about how much choice students should have with regard towhat they can study at university.While some argue that it would be better

45、 for students tobe forced into certain key subject areas,I believe that everyone should be able to studythe course of their choice.There are various reasons why people believe that universities should only offer subjectsthat will be useful in the future.They may assert that university courses like m

46、edicine,engineering and information technology are more likely to be beneficial than certain artdegrees.From a personal perspective,it can be argued that these courses provide morejob opportunities,career progression,better salaries,and therefore an improved quality oflife for students who take them

47、.On the societal level,by forcing people to chooseparticular university subjects,governments can ensure that any knowledge and skill gapsin the economy are covered.Finally,a focus on technology in higher education could leadto new inventions,economic growth,and greater future prosperity.In spite of

48、these arguments,I believe that university students should be free to choosetheir preferred areas of study.In my opinion,society will benefit more if our students arepassionate about what they are learning.Besides,nobody can really predict which areasof knowledge will be most useful to society in the

49、 future,and it may be that employersbegin to value creative thinking skills above practical or technical skills.If this were thecase,perhaps we would need more students of art,history and philosophy than of scienceor technology.In conclusion,although it might seem sensible for universities to focus

50、only on the mostuseful subjects,I personally prefer the current system in which people have the right tostudy whatever they like.9.Many governments think that economic progress is their most important goal.Somepeople,however,think that other types of progress are equally important for a country.Disc
