Lesson 2- 15th May 2015
Method:
2 sentences
Introduce the topic
Give a general answer
4 types of question
1. Discussion: two-sided issues
2. Opinion: the most difficult type of question as you have choices: agree, disagree or
balanced opinion
3. Problem and Solution
4. Two-part question
Discussion:
People have different views about the effectiveness of group study as opposed to (in
stead of rather than ) working alone. While there are some benefits to studying
indepedently, I believe that group work is usually more productive. (There are some
benefits/advantages to doing sth)
Opinion
It is sometimes argued that high school students should be made to do some work in
their local communities.In my opinion, it would be wrong to force teenagers to do any
kind of unsalaried work. (I completely agree that this kind of scheme would be a good

idea) (While I disagree with the idea of making such programmes compulsory, I do
believe that voluntary community service could benefit young people)
Problem and solution
It is true that punishments do not always deter criminals from committing more
crimes. There are various reasons why offenders repeatedly break the law, but
goverments could certainly take steps to address this issue.
Two-part question
Work plays a central role in our lives, and we would all like to feel fulfilled
professionally. While a variety of factors may lead to job satisfaction, it would be
unrealistic to expect everyone to be happy at work.
