Possible answer:
I agree. Film stars work very hard, so
they should get a lot of money. Also,
many people enjoy their films. Finally,
not everyone can be a film star, so
they are special.
I don’t agree. Other jobs like teacher
or nurse are more important, but they
don’t get as much money. We should
give film stars less money and more
money to other jobs. Also, they could
give some money from films to young
actors to help them.
Writing

Sample answer:
Last year, I had a small part in a play.
On the night of the final performance,
I was with the other actors.
Suddenly the drama teacher told us
the main actor couldn’t come. Then,
the teacher asked me to perform her
part.
I was worried – could I do it? In the
end, I performed well. It was an
amazing experience.
