Стр.39-40 Рабочая тетрадь Модуль 3 ГДЗ Starlight Баранова 8 класс

Приведем выдержку из задания из учебника Баранова, Дули, Копылова 8 класс, Просвещение: Writing (an opinion essay)
1 Read the rubric and answer the questions.
Your college English magazine is asking for essays on the following statement: It’s better for elderly relatives to be looked after in nursing homes. Write your essay for the magazine, stating your opinion and giving reasons/examples to support it.
1 What do you have to write?
2 Which two reasons can you think of to support the statement?
3 What can the opposite viewpoint be?
2 Read the essay. Which of your ideas in Ex. 1 are mentioned?
1 In many countries these days, elderly people often choose to live in nursing homes and not with their families. In my opinion, this can be a really good idea as their needs can often be best met there.
2 First of all, a carefully-chosen nursing home can offer excellent care and facilities for an elderly person. For example, they often have great facilities — such as TV rooms — and special events where the residents can socialise. In addition, they have professional care staff such as trained nurses.
3 Secondly, many elderly people do not wish to be too dependent on their families. They do not want to put a burden on their family members’ busy lives, by taking care of them 24 hours every day.
4 On the other hand, some people believe that it should always be the family’s responsibility to look after elderly relatives. They argue that they looked after you when you were a child and so now you should give them the love and care they need.
5 All in all, I believe that, while it is the choice of each family, it is often better for an elderly person to live in a carefully chosen nursing home. This way, they can live more independent lives in an environment that caters to all their needs.
3 Which paragraph contains:
1 the writer’s first viewpoint & example/reason?
2 the writer’s opinion?
3 the writer’s second viewpoint & example/reason?
4 the writer’s opinion restated?
5 an opposing viewpoint & example/reason?

4 All things considered, I feel that making recycling mandatory would be an excellent way to help the environment.
5 We should reduce the price of public transport. As a consequence, people would be likely to use buses instead of cars.

Unemployed people should do volunteer work in their community in order to get unemployment benefits. In my opinion, this is a good idea because it can help both the unemployed and society.

Firstly, volunteer work gives unemployed people a chance to learn new skills. For example, they can improve teamwork and organisational skills, which will be useful for future jobs. Moreover, it can prevent a feeling of being useless. Without a purpose in life, some unemployed people can become depressed.

On the other hand, it could be argued that this rule is too strict and unfair for people who are already struggling. However, I believe that volunteering is a positive way to support the community and encourage people to stay active.

All in all, I believe unemployed people should do volunteer work to receive unemployment benefits. This way, they can gain experience, help others and feel more useful.
