A for and against essay
1 Read the essay. Which paragraph gives the argument for cloning, and which against?
Is Cloning Good or Bad?
In the 2lst century, cloning is a controversial topic. People have different opinions about the subject, and there are arguments both for and against cloning.
Some people argue that if we clone animals, they won’t get diseases like ‘mad cow disease’, scientists can also use cloned cells to fight human diseases like cancer. Moreover, cloning already exists in nature — identical twins are clones of each other.
However, it is illegal to make human clones artificially, and most people disagree with the idea of scientists creating people. They think that if human cloning existed, people would create ‘designer babies’ by choosing things like the colour of their eyes, skin and hair.
in conclusion, I think that the cloning of animals and plants could be a good idea because it has scientific benefits. Human cloning, on the other hand, could be very dangerous for our society.
2 Look at the examples. Which are linkers of contrast and which are linkers of addition? How do you say them in your language?
Language focus: linkers of contrast and addition
Scientists can also use cloned cells to fight human diseases. Moreover, cloning already exists in nature.
However, it is illegal to make human clones artificially.
Human cloning, on the other hand, could be very dangerous.
3 Choose the correct words.
1 Scientists have never made a human clone. Animal clones, on the other hand, are quite common now.
2 Human cloning is illegal. However, scientists use cloned human cells.
3 Identical twins have got the same DNA. Some plants are also natural clones.
4 The cloning of animals can prevent diseases. Moreover, it could protect endangered species.

Genetically modified food: danger or opportunity?

In the 21st century, genetically modified food is a controversial topic. People have different opinions about it, and there are arguments both for and against GM food.

Some people think that GM food is a good idea because it could help people who suffer from famine. Moreover, it can be grown in very dry places, so it may be useful in countries with a shortage of water. It can also contain extra vitamins and look and taste good.

However, other people believe that GM food might not be safe. They think it could be toxic and may cause health problems in the future.

In conclusion, I think GM food can be useful because it may help solve food problems. However, it should be carefully tested before people use it widely.
