Agree or Disagree Question: How to response?
6 September 2020
SPEAKING AND WRITING
Big salary is more important than job
satisfaction. Do you agree or disagree?
1. Determine your degree (agree, entirely agree, partially agree,
disagree, partly disagree etc.) followed by restating the question
(paraphrase).
Example:
- I entirely agree about this opinion and I believe that having great salary is the
most crucial part (main idea)
- I partly disagree about this statement and I think big salary is equally
important with job satisfaction
2. Provide your main Idea (only one idea)
a) Job satisfaction will lead to greater performance and income
b) Working without passion is really hard instead of providing you
high salary
c) I believe that job satisfaction gives people a sense of fulfillment
that no money can guarantee
3. Provide the supporting ideas (2-4 sentences)
- Even if someone is earning a high salary, but feels tensed and
compromises with his/her conscience, this person won’t enjoy his/her
life.
- People who love their jobs can easily excel in their fields of work and
achieve better results than those, who put salary on the first place.
- High amount of money, we can go for vacation and shopping that
makes me feel happy
- Besides, great salary will allow us to help many people by giving
charity
- With high amount of money, we can take our parents going to
European countries or Holy Mecca
