Should we test products on animals?
I agree that we need to make sure that animals who are used for testing new products have the minimum of suffering. However, I am convinced that animal testing is necessary, and that it will continue to benefit humans in new and wonderful ways.
Should we beat children?
In conclusion, physical punishment can be a useful method of discipline. However it should be the last choice for parents. If we want to build a world with less violence we must begin at home, and we must teach our children to be responsible.
Is education important?
In conclusion, although there are undoubtedly some problems with increased levels of education, I feel strongly that the country can only progress if all its people are educated to the maximum of their ability.
Who are the better parents - men or women?
I think this is not an either/or question. Both men and women have strengths and skills that are important for children`s psychological growth. We need to ensure that both parents play an important role in the family in order to give children a good start in life.
Who learns quicker -  adults or children?
Finally, I feel that we cannot generalize about children or adults being better learners. It depends on the situation and the motivation of the person, and the level of enthusiasm he or she has for learning.
Should dangerous sports be banned?
In summary, our society would be healthier if more people took part in sports of all kinds. We should continue to try to prevent accidents and injuries. However, we should also ensure that sports are challenging, exciting, and, above all, fun.

Through recent medical advances we now have the capacity to determine the characteristics of unborn babies, produce clones, transplant animal organs to humans, as well as prolong life. Such technology is unethical, interferes with the course of nature and should be prohibited. To what extent do you agree with this opinion?


1.In conclusion, recent medical advances offer us advantages such as prolonging our lives, improving the quality of our lives, and providing some infertile couples with the opportunity to experience parenthood. On the other hand, they pose dilemmas, including compromising our standard of living because of a dependent elderly population, potentially causing harmful mental and physical side effects, and undermining our ethical values. Therefore we have to think about them carefully or it will not be good.

This example follows the suggested model of a concluding paragraph. The two summary statements succinctly paraphrase the main arguments. The paragraph makes a recommendation too, however, the benefits of this are not stated, so it is vague and unconvincing.

2. What is more, poor people often cannot afford to pay for these new medical advances.Consequently, they are only a benefit to a small, affluent part of the population, so we should prohibit them.

This example does not follow the suggested model of a concluding paragraph. There is no statement referring to the main arguments or summary of them. In fact, it provides another argument, which the concluding paragraph should not contain. It does make a recommendation, however, this appears to be motivated by envy or jealousy, so it is not a very credible suggestion.

3.To conclude, new medical advances have many positive outcomes. However, we should analyse our objectives carefully in order to decide what is appropriate and what should be permitted. If we do not, the result might not be longer more fulfilling lives, but instead,extended less satisfying existence.

This example follows the suggested model of a concluding paragraph. The summary statement is good; it refers back to the main arguments. The paragraph makes a recommendation too, which seems logical and acceptable.
 EDUCATION
1. As computers are being used more and more in education, there will be soon no role for teachers in the classroom.
There have been immense advances in technology in most aspects of people`s lives, especially in the field of education. Nowadays, an increasing number of students rely on computers to research for information and to produce a perfect paper for school purposes. Others have decided to leave the original way of learning to get knowledge through online schools. These changes in the learning process have brought a special concern regarding the possible decrease of importance of teachers in the classroom. Some people believe the role of teachers started to fade because computers have been helping some students to progress in their studies quicker than when compared with an original classroom
