Summarise topic and restate your opinion using different words
1 a) Read the rubric and then the model. What is each paragraph about? Which paragraphs contain the writer’s opinion?
RNE Comment on the following statement:
Travel broadens the mind.
All that glitters is not gold.
What is your opinion? Do you agree with this statement?
Write 200-250 words.
Thanks to package deals and budget airlines, more people have the opportunity to travel abroad these {lays. But just how true is it that travel broadens the mind?
In my opinion, travelling to other countries gives us a broader understanding of the world, firstly, it presents an excellent opportunity to learn about another country’s culture. For example, going to museums, cultural events and festivals when on holiday can give a unique insight into the local people and their history. Secondly, we can sample another cuisine. Trying different food means discovering new and enjoyable tastes and even learning new ways of cooking.
On the other hand, some people argue that travelling abroad does not make for greater cultural understanding. They point out that many tourists avoid meeting local people. Instead, they prefer to mix with other tourists in their hotel. They even eat the same food they would have at home.
However, it is really up to the individual to make the most of their experience abroad. It is important to choose the right kind of holiday. For instance, volunteering on an eco-holiday will teach you far more about local culture titan staying at a tourist resort.
In conclusion, it seems to me that travel can oiler a wealth of new experiences. It need not be just a home-from-home holiday with fellow-tourists. Instead, we can learn a lot about foreign culture, history and cuisine. In the words of America actress Solange Knowles, «You get educated by travelling.»

5c

Young people should not watch too much television because it promotes violence. In my opinion, this statement is partly true. Television can have a negative influence on children and teenagers, especially when they watch violent films and programmes every day.

To begin with, television often shows scenes of crime, aggression and cruelty. As a result, young viewers may become less sensitive to violence. Moreover, they can copy bad behaviour they see on the screen.

On the other hand, some people argue that television is a useful source of information and entertainment. They say that many programmes are educational and help young people learn about the world.

However, I believe that television should be watched in moderation. Parents should control what their children watch and encourage them to spend more time reading, doing sport or communicating with friends.

In conclusion, television is not completely harmful, but too much of it can be dangerous for young people. As Alfred Hitchcock said, “Seeing a murder on television can help work off one’s antagonisms.”
