26、ending time with family.,4.If I want to be happy in the future,I,must have a good job.,5.Good marks indicate how smart you are.,6.Learning a foreign language is,important.,Sample answers:,1.I dont agree that vegetarians are healthier than people who eat meat.For example,a diet consisting of chips an
27、d bananas is vegetarian,but few people would consider such a diet very healthy.On the other hand,a diet that includes plenty of whole,grains,fruits,vegetables and a good source of calcium like low-fat dairy products is healthy.Although vegetarian diets can be healthy,nutritional awareness is importa
28、nt.Its reported that vegetarian teens often do not get enough minerals such as calcium,iron and zinc.I see things slightly differently.I agree that vegetarians are,healthier,than people who eat meat.Most studies show that vegetarians have about a 30 per cent lower risk of death from heart disease th
29、an meat-eaters.Fewer vegetarians are overweight.A vegetarian diet represents a major health benefit because fruits and vegetables supply a lot of vitamins and fiber.,2.I agree that staying a teenager forever would be great.Everybody would like to be young forever.This is a golden period in life.Teen
30、agers are youthful and healthy.Life is easy for them because they dont have as many worries as adults do.And life is full of hopes for them because they have the future ahead of them and the opportunity to try,anything they like.Im not sure thats,true.I dont think staying a teenager forever would be
31、 a great thing.Teenagers are under a lot of pressure because of their studies.They also need financial support from their parents so they cant do many things or make decisions independently.Life would be more colorful as an adult.If we,stayed teenagers forever,how could we experience the happiness o
32、f being an adult?,3.Some people think that spending time with family is more important than making good friends.Thats a good point,but I think making good friends is more important than spending time with my family.I benefit a lot from talking to my friends.Friends are a huge part of our lives.Nobod
33、y could live without,friends.My friends go through the same,experiences as me and because of this,they can give me advice when I have a,problem.They always help me when,Im in need.We can talk about,everything.We can share our happiness,and our sorrow.,I take your point,but I dont think,making good f
34、riends is more important,than spending time with my family.I,prefer to spend time with my family rather,than make friends with my peers.My parents know more about me than anyone else.They are always the ones who I turn to when I am in trouble.I often spend time with them,talking about my worries and
35、 my hopes for the future.They like to share their,experiences with me too.Family,members are definitely more important to me than friends.,4.Someone told me that having a good job doesnt necessarily make you happy.That might be true,but in my opinion,a good job is necessary if I want to be happy in
36、the future.There are a number of different reasons why I think this.Firstly,a good job can offer us a good salary.Money is not everything,but you cannot,afford many things you need without it.Secondly,a,highly-paid job is always,a big challenge.I enjoy being challenged.Furthermore,a good salary many
37、 offer you more opportunities to help others and to relax.,Perhaps you are mistaken.I dont agree that I must have a good job if I want to be happy in the future.Before we discuss,this,we need to talk about what true happiness is.The answer to this question lies in,the hearts of many people,around,th
38、e world.True happiness is to feel with your heart.And it is also to feel and experience various things during our lives.We have more important things to value in life than a good salary.,5.Some people believe that good marks indicate how smart you are,but I see things differently.School is not every
39、thing.Success and happiness cannot be measured by good marks.Students should not be so stressed by their studies.This can often have a bad effect on their health.Even if we dont get good,marks in our studies,we can be,successful in many other,things in,life.,Good marks indicate how smart you are.Tha
40、ts how I feel.Doing well in exams is the only way to succeed in a highly competitive world.Some people dont think school is very important,but I think it is extremely important.Good marks show how well you have studied and how capable you are.This is what universities and employers care about.,6.I d
41、o think that learning a foreign language is important.Language is an important tool for people to communicate with each other,as well as a way to pass on their culture and knowledge.Nowadays,the number of people traveling to other countries is increasing.Mastering a foreign language is becoming a mu
42、st for,them to live in a foreign country or,understand other nationalities,better.I dont think that learning a foreign language is important.Take myself for example,I spent some time in Britain on an exchange,programme,.I spent a lot of time learning English before I went abroad.It has been almost t
43、wo years since I came back,and I have forgotten a lot of English because I hardly use it now.Spending too much time on a foreign language is a waste of time.,Topics:,Friendship is an important part of my life.,A good friend must be honest,kind,and have a sense of humour.,One or two good friends are
44、better than 100 acquaintances.,Argument,Writing a letter to your friend,You have decided to take the advice of Teen Talk.After the class discussion,you have learned a lot more about friendship and have decided to write a letter to a friend about what his or her friendship means to you.Write your letter in the space below.Keep the following ideas in mind when you write.,your feelings about friendship,the qualities of a good friend,our feelings about best friends,what makes a good friendship last,Go over the Task.,Complete the letter after class.,Preview the Project.,Homework,
