It is inevitable that traditional cultures will be lost as technology develops. Technology and
traditional cultures are incompatible.
To what extent do you agree or disagree with this view?
Some people believe that technological developments lead to the loss of traditional cultures. While
this may be true in the case of some societies, others seem to be unaffected by technology and
the modern world.
On the one hand, the advances in technology that have driven industrialisation in developed
countries have certainly contributed to the disappearance of traditional ways of life. For example,
in pre-industrial Britain, generations of families grew up in the same small village communities.
These communities had a strong sense of identity, due to their shared customs and beliefs.
However, developments in transport, communications and manufacturing led to the dispersal of
families and village communities as people moved to the cities in search of work. Nowadays most
British villages are inhabited by commuters, many of whom do not know their closest neighbours.
On the other hand, in some parts of the world traditional cultures still thrive. There are tribes in the
Amazon Rainforest, for example, that have been completely untouched by the technological
developments of the developed world. These tribal communities continue to hunt and gather food
from the forest, and traditional skills are passed on to children by parents and elders. Other
traditional cultures, such as farming communities in parts of Africa, are embracing communications
technologies. Mobile phones give farmers access to information, from weather predictions to
market prices, which helps them to prosper and therefore supports their culture.
In conclusion, many traditional ways of life have been lost as a result of advances in technology,
but other traditional communities have survived and even flourished.

Most people have forgotten the meaning behind traditional or religious festivals; during
festival periods, people nowadays only want to enjoy themselves.
To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?
Some people argue that we no longer remember the original meaning of festivals, and that most of
us treat them as opportunities to have fun. While I agree that enjoyment seems to be the priority
during festival times, I do not agree that people have forgotten what these festivals mean.
On the one hand, religious and traditional festivals have certainly become times for celebration. In
the UK, Christmas is a good example of a festival period when people are most concerned with
shopping, giving and receiving presents, decorating their homes and enjoying traditional meals with
their families. Most people look forward to Christmas as a holiday period, rather than a time to
practise religion. Similar behaviour can be seen during non-religious festivals, such as Bonfire Night.
People associate this occasion with making fires, watching firework displays, and perhaps going to
large events in local parks; in other words, enjoyment is people’s primary goal.
However, I disagree with the idea that the underlying meaning of such festivals has been forgotten.
In UK primary schools, children learn in detail about the religious reasons for celebrating Christmas,
Easter and a variety of festivals in other religions. For example, in late December, children sing
Christmas songs which have a religious content, and they may even perform nativity plays telling
the story of Jesus’ birth. Families also play a role in passing knowledge of religious festivals’ deeper
significance on to the next generation. The same is true for festivals that have a historical
background, such as Bonfire Night or Halloween, in the sense that people generally learn the stories
behind these occasions at an early age.
In conclusion, although people mainly want to enjoy themselves during festivals, I believe that they
are still aware of the reasons for these celebrations.

We cannot help everyone in the world that needs help, so we should only be concerned with
our own communities and countries.
To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?
Some people believe that we should not help people in other countries as long as there are problems
in our own society. I disagree with this view because I believe that we should try to help as many
people as possible.
On the one hand, I accept that it is important to help our neighbours and fellow citizens. In most
communities there are people who are impoverished or disadvantaged in some way. It is possible
to find homeless people, for example, in even the wealthiest of cities, and for those who are
concerned about this problem, there are usually opportunities to volunteer time or give money to
support these people. In the UK, people can help in a variety of ways, from donating clothing to
serving free food in a soup kitchen. As the problems are on our doorstep, and there are obvious
ways to help, I can understand why some people feel that we should prioritise local charity.
At the same time, I believe that we have an obligation to help those who live beyond our national
borders. In some countries the problems that people face are much more serious than those in our
own communities, and it is often even easier to help. For example, when children are dying from
curable diseases in African countries, governments and individuals in richer countries can save lives
simply by paying for vaccines that already exist. A small donation to an international charity might
have a much greater impact than helping in our local area.
In conclusion, it is true that we cannot help everyone, but in my opinion national boundaries should
not stop us from helping those who are in need.

Some people believe that hobbies need to be difficult to be enjoyable.
To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Some hobbies are relatively easy, while others present more of a challenge. Personally, I believe
that both types of hobby can be fun, and I therefore disagree with the statement that hobbies need
to be difficult in order to be enjoyable.
On the one hand, many people enjoy easy hobbies. One example of an activity that is easy for most
people is swimming. This hobby requires very little equipment, it is simple to learn, and it is
inexpensive. I remember learning to swim at my local swimming pool when I was a child, and it never
felt like a demanding or challenging experience. Another hobby that I find easy and fun is
photography. In my opinion, anyone can take interesting pictures without knowing too much about
the technicalities of operating a camera. Despite being straightforward, taking photos is a satisfying
activity.
On the other hand, difficult hobbies can sometimes be more exciting. If an activity is more
challenging, we might feel a greater sense of satisfaction when we manage to do it successfully. For
example, film editing is a hobby that requires a high level of knowledge and expertise. In my case,
it took me around two years before I became competent at this activity, but now I enjoy it much more
than I did when I started. I believe that many hobbies give us more pleasure when we reach a higher
level of performance because the results are better and the feeling of achievement is greater.
In conclusion, simple hobbies can be fun and relaxing, but difficult hobbies can be equally
pleasurable for different reasons.

Universities should accept equal numbers of male and female students in every subject.
To what extent do you agree or disagree?
In my opinion, men and women should have the same educational opportunities. However, I do not
agree with the idea of accepting equal proportions of each gender in every university subject.
Having the same number of men and women on all degree courses is simply unrealistic. Student
numbers on any course depend on the applications that the institution receives. If a university
decided to fill courses with equal numbers of males and females, it would need enough applicants
of each gender. In reality, many courses are more popular with one gender than the other, and it
would not be practical to aim for equal proportions. For example, nursing courses tend to attract
more female applicants, and it would be difficult to fill these courses if fifty per cent of the places
needed to go to males.
Apart from the practical concerns expressed above, I also believe that it would be unfair to base
admission to university courses on gender. Universities should continue to select the best
candidates for each course according to their qualifications. In this way, both men and women have
the same opportunities, and applicants know that they will be successful if they work hard to achieve
good grades at school. If a female student is the best candidate for a place on a course, it is surely
wrong to reject her in favour of a male student with lower grades or fewer qualifications.
In conclusion, the selection of university students should be based on merit, and it would be both
impractical and unfair to change to a selection procedure based on gender.

Some people think that instead of preventing climate change, we need to find a way to live
with it.
To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Climate change represents a major threat to life on Earth, but some people argue that we need to
accept it rather than try to stop it. I completely disagree with this opinion, because I believe that we
still have time to tackle this issue and reduce the human impact on the Earth's climate.
There are various measures that governments and individuals could take to prevent, or at least
mitigate, climate change. Governments could introduce laws to limit the carbon dioxide emissions
that lead to global warming. They could impose “green taxes” on drivers, airline companies and other
polluters, and they could invest in renewable energy production from solar, wind or water power. As
individuals, we should also try to limit our contribution to climate change, by becoming more energy
efficient, by flying less, and by using bicycles and public transport. Furthermore, the public can affect
the actions of governments by voting for politicians who propose to tackle climate change, rather
than for those who would prefer to ignore it.
If instead of taking the above measures we simply try to live with climate change, I believe that the
consequences will be disastrous. To give just one example, I am not optimistic that we would be
able to cope with even a small rise in sea levels. Millions of people would be displaced by flooding,
particularly in countries that do not have the means to safeguard low-lying areas. These people
would lose their homes and their jobs, and they would be forced to migrate to nearby cities or
perhaps to other countries. The potential for human suffering would be huge, and it is likely that we
would see outbreaks of disease and famine, as well as increased homelessness and poverty.
In conclusion, it is clear to me that we must address the problem of climate change, and I disagree
with those who argue that we can find ways to live with it.

Some people who have been in prison become good citizens later, and it is often argued that
these are the best people to talk to teenagers about the dangers of committing a crime.
To what extent do you agree or disagree?
It is true that ex-prisoners can become normal, productive members of society. I completely agree
with the idea that allowing such people to speak to teenagers about their experiences is the best
way to discourage them from breaking the law.
In my opinion, teenagers are more likely to accept advice from someone who can speak from
experience. Reformed offenders can tell young people about how they became involved in crime,
the dangers of a criminal lifestyle, and what life in prison is really like. They can also dispel any ideas
that teenagers may have about criminals leading glamorous lives. While adolescents are often
indifferent to the guidance given by older people, I imagine that most of them would be extremely
keen to hear the stories of an ex-offender. The vivid and perhaps shocking nature of these stories
is likely to have a powerful impact.
The alternatives to using reformed criminals to educate teenagers about crime would be much less
effective. One option would be for police officers to visit schools and talk to young people. This could
be useful in terms of informing teens about what happens to lawbreakers when they are caught, but
young people are often reluctant to take advice from figures of authority. A second option would be
for school teachers to speak to their students about crime, but I doubt that students would see
teachers as credible sources of information about this topic. Finally, educational films might be
informative, but there would be no opportunity for young people to interact and ask questions.
In conclusion, I fully support the view that people who have turned their lives around after serving a
prison sentence could help to deter teenagers from committing crimes.

The older generations tend to have very traditional ideas about how people should live, think
and behave. However, some people believe that these ideas are not helpful in preparing
younger generations for modern life.
To what extent do you agree or disagree with this view?
It is true that many older people believe in traditional values that often seem incompatible with the
needs of younger people. While I agree that some traditional ideas are outdated, I believe that others
are still useful and should not be forgotten.
On the one hand
