Computers are being used more and more in education. Some people say that this is a positive
trend, while others argue that it is leading to negative consequences.Discuss both sides of this
argument and then give your own opinion.
Intro : There is an ever increasing use of technology, such as tablets and laptops, in the
classroom. It is often argued that this is a positive development, whilst others disagree and
think it will lead to adverse ramifications. This essay agrees that an increase in technology is
beneficial to students and teachers. This essay will discuss both points of view
Para 1 : It is clear that the internet has provided students with access to more information than
ever before....................Wikipedia is a prime example, where students can simply type in any
keyword
Para 2 : However, many disagree and feel that technology deprives people of real human
interaction.......................For instance, Skype and Facebook make it possible for people to
interact in ways that were never before possible.
Con: In conclusion, while the benefits of technology, particularly the internet, allow students to
tap in to limitless sources of information, some still feel that people should be wary of this new
phenomenon and not allow it to curb face to face interaction.
FAMILY TOPIC
Topic 1: It is not uncommon that children are required to obey the rule of their parents and
teachers. Some people are worried that too much control over children will not prepare
them well for their adult life. Discuss both sides and give your opinion.

freedom are not given to the children they often cannot expose their true potential in life.=
making youngsters to follow rules on a strictly basis may suppress their creativity and
passion for adventures, which are important abilities of a person
It is quite hard to believe but actually true that many parents ruin their children’s life by
being overprotective and being abusive
This can be exemplified by cases where children cannot freely participate in certain
sports or arts, such as soccer and drawing, because their parents set firm rules on
maintaining hygiene.
Children who are always pressurised by rules and regulations from their family members
often end up being timid and hesitant
Moreover, putting too many rules on young people may stifle their independence and sense
of individuality. Children who are used to ............ their parents’ advices without expressing
their own opinion on the matter generally lack the skills for ............. thinking.
Topic 2 : Many parents encourage young people to leave home when they become older,
while others think they should stay at home with the family. Discuss both views and give
your own opinion
Topic 3 : Nowadays, families are not as close as in the past and a lot of people
have become used to this. Why is this happening? Do the advantages of this
trend outweigh the drawbacks?"
There has been a trend over recent decades for families to become less close
than they were in the past and this situation is largely accepted in society.
This essay will discuss the reasons for this and examine the benefits and
drawbacks of this development.
One of the first reasons for a decline in the closeness of families is connected
to the busy lifestyles that we now lead. Most people are having to work longer
hours and often both parents work, so they simply do not have as much time
to spend with each other as they did in the past. Another factor is the
materialistic and consumer driven culture we now live in, which has led to less
value being placed on family relationships. Modern technology also means
that people are more interested in their online life than interacting with their
family in their free time.
It could be argued that this has benefits. If people are not so close with their
family, they are free to pursue their own dreams and aspirations, and to focus
on improving their own lifestyle. However, I believe that there are far more
negative outcomes. The most important factors leading to a fulfilled and
happy life are emotional security and comfort. Without these we are in danger
of feeling lost. It is a difficult world we live in and we need the support of
people close to us to cope with modern life. We are seeing a rise in mental
health problems in many countries and this may well be a factor in this.
