A person you know is planning
to move to your town or city. What do you think this person would like and
dislike about living in your town or city?
Why? Use specific reasons and details to develop your essay. You
should write at least 250 words.
Model answer:
I am from Saint Petersburg. A
very beautiful city attracts many people every year. My close friend is going
to move here after her graduation. She already found a job and she asked me to
help her with an apartment. Knowing her very well, I think I can enumerate the
majority of things she will like and dislike about my city. First, I believe
she will like a huge amount of museums, movie theaters, etc. My
friend is from a small town, so, she cannot enjoy all these benefits at her
native town. Second, it seems to me that she will like the way people live
here. The pace of life is much faster here than in a small town. People are
always in a hurry, they try to catch a bus, and then they run to the nearest
subway station, go to an office, meet new people, etc. In addition, I think my
friend will like people here. They are very friendly and ready to offer a help
to those in need. Unfortunately, my friend will not surely like some things. Because
of a huge amount of cars and factories, the air is polluted here. One more thing
she will definitely not like is the weather. It is quite humid here.
However, I think she will also like the
public transport here. The Government runs the bus services and it is quite
regular. If one in a hurry he can take a taxi, which also is quite cheap and
provide a good transport. In conclusion, I believe that in spite of all
mentioned above disadvantages she will like this city. (283 words)

Do you agree or disagree with
the following statement?
Businesses should do anything
they can to make a profit.
Use specific reasons and
examples to support your position. You should write at least 250 words.
Model answer:
I do not agree with the
statement that businesses should do anything they can to make a profit. I state
my opinion on the following points. First, every company must have its moral
code. It means that a company should treat its clients properly and respect
their rights. Of cause, a company may lose a part of its profit but security of
its clients must be on the first place. Otherwise, clients will switch to
another company and never be back. For instance, a few years ago
"Jonson&Jonson" produced a new type of painkillers. Unfortunately,
this product was not tested properly. Because of this many people died and
received injures. The president of the company made a crucial
Decision to call back all painkillers from
all distributors and pay to all injured customers for their treatment. It cost
a lot of money for the company but it saved its image and clients. It was a
very difficult decision, but the president of the company understood that it
would cost him even more in the future because he would not be able to return
clients' respect. Losing customers means for a company losing its profit. Second,
in order to succeed in the modern world companies have to compete with each
other. Many companies lose their profit decreasing prices on their products.
They do not aspire for extra profit but for clients' satisfaction. Companies do
it because they want their products sold and their customers satisfied. They
offer discounts, free delivery, free service, free Internet access, good return
service, etc. All these are done to make their old customers happy and attract
new clients. To sum up, I think a company, which the only goal is profit will
not succeed nowadays. Otherwise, companies that respect their clients and want
to see them satisfied will make a fortune. (311 words)

Do you agree or disagree with
the following statement?
Children should begin learning
a foreign language as soon as they start school.
Use specific reasons and
examples to support your opinion. You should write at least 250 words.
Model answer:
Language is the best means of
communication. In the modern globalization era, it is not enough to be able to
speak one language to communicate with the outside world. I strongly support
the idea that children should begin learning a foreign language as soon as they
start school. They faster become familiar with a strange language, improve
their hearing ability to understand new words as time goes by and learn new
words. In the following paragraphs, I will list some reasons to support my
position.
First, if one wants to see outcome soon,
one must start sooner. Therefore, the early children begin to learn new
language the better will be the result. Scientists say that a child does not
confuse two different languages but learns them more effectively. Second,
adults are often afraid to make mistakes when they are speaking in a new
language. This fear is one of the biggest barriers for a person in his efforts
to speak freely. Otherwise, children do not afraid of making grammatical mistakes
because they just repeat words and sentences in the way they hear them. In
addition, children have a better chance to get rid of an accent. They faster
get used to the right pronunciation and better feel the melody of a language. To
sum up, I think that it is very essential for children to begin learning a foreign
language in their early ages. It is brings many benefits such as great pronunciation.
In addition, it helps a child develop and gain more knowledge, which is good
for a long run. (264 words)

Do you agree or disagree with
the following statement?
Classmates are a more important
influence than parents are on a child’s success in School.
Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer. You
should write at least 250 words.
Model answer:
I cannot completely agree with
the statement that classmates are a more important influence than parents are
on a child's success in school. In this essay, I will first focus on the
reasons why I agree with this statement and then list a few points why from my
opinion in some cases is not true. From the one side, classmates have a
significant influence on child's behavior and his or her success in school. First,
children spend much time at school. Classmates have many things in common such
as age, interests, homework and classes after all. Therefore, they discuss
their impressions about a new teacher, solve problems together, learn their homework,
gain new knowledge and experience and even make their own discoveries. Sharing
all these makes them closer. Some of them become friends and they spend
after-school time together. In addition, friends tend to copy each other's
habits and manners. For instance, my little sister became friends with the girl
who did not have good grades at school at that time. It does not mean she could
not have better grades; she just had many Friends who did not care about their
grades. Therefore, when they started to spend their time together and share
their interests, girl's grades improved. They did their homework together,
shared their dreams and exciting moments. From this Point, I must agree that
classmates can change child’s attitude towards school. From the other side,
parents have a great influence on children' success in School too. For example
if parents show an interest in their child's progress and talk to him or her
about the importance of learning I think their child will listen to them and do
his or her best. Personally, I believe that relationships between parents and a
child play an essential role in child's success in school. If these
relationships are close and wholehearted I am sure that parents should not be
afraid of bad influence from the outside.
