Writing (a for-and-against essay)
1 Read the essay and complete the table.
Should student’s do more group work in class?
A Many students enjoy working with their friends in class, but teachers often tell students to work quietly and alone. Is this the best way to learn, or should students do more group work in class?
B Without a doubt, there are many advantages to group work. Some people argue that it creates a more comfortable classroom environment because students can ask each other questions that they may be embarrassed to ask a teacher. In addition, group work encourages students to listen to the opinions of others. This improves teamwork, which is an important skill in the workplace.
C On the other hand, there are also arguments against group work in classrooms. Firstly, students may become distracted and chat about subjects that are not related to school. As a result, no work is achieved. Another disadvantage is that during group work, only certain opinions are heard. For example, one student may try to control the group, or another could be too shy to speak, making group work quite unfair.
D All in all, there are both advantages and disadvantages to doing group work. It seems to me that some tasks are performed better when people work together as a team. However, others, like writing, are probably best tackled alone.

There are many advantages to wearing school uniforms. To begin with, school uniforms are cheaper than popular designer clothes, so they save parents money. In addition, they reduce bullying because students won’t get picked on for looking different. Another advantage is that uniforms can be uncomfortable and awkward to wear, but this is a small disadvantage compared with the benefits. All in all, school uniforms are a good idea.

Should students study Art in schools? There are many advantages to studying Art at school. To begin with, it makes students more creative because they learn to express themselves through drawings, which they cannot do in subjects like Maths. In addition, Art is relaxing and fun, so it gives students a break from studying textbooks and problem-solving.

On the other hand, there are also disadvantages. Firstly, some people think that Art is a waste of time because it is not useful and students might be better off studying other subjects instead. Another disadvantage is that it is expensive, since the money spent on materials could be used to buy textbooks or improve the school.

All in all, there are both advantages and disadvantages to studying Art in schools. It seems to me that Art is important because it helps students become more creative and enjoy learning.
