Topic 1: The means of transport you like most.
If I have to decide which mean of transport I like most, it’ll be a car. Nowadays it is really necessary for me and my family.
Firstly, it is safer to drive a car than to ride a motorbike because in a car there are air bags, seat belts, car alarm, etc, that prevent us from being injured if you have an accident. Driving a car at night on a lonely road will safer than riding a motorbike.
Secondly, you never have to think about the weather (such a rain, sun, storm, and dark at night) when you drive. A car has air-conditioner which helps you to avoid getting wet, dust… so it help to keep you healthy.
In the third place, a car is comfortable and fast. You can pretty much travel wherever you want whenever you want within your local area, without having to worry about the departure times and delays of the public transport system.
Furthermore, you will feel comfortable and relaxed with the CD and DVD machines on the car. You can listen music and you have pleasure of driving. When you are tired, you can stop the journey and rest.
Finally, if you have just the one car between you and your family, it can be possible to share the vehicle between all of the family members thus providing everyone with a mode of transport at all times.

Topic 2: The most useful machine in the twentieth century.
Among the most useful inventions in the last century, I find the computer the most important because of these reasons:
First, when the computer is connected to the Internet, it is a good way of learning and getting information. You can read newspapers on line and download lots of information from the web pages. Besides, you can learn online as well.
Second, computers is convenient because it helps you work faster by typing, printing document and storing data if you want.
Finally, computer is a good way to entertain with many kinds of games and entertainments. There are a lot of games and on line activities like forum or Facebook for you to share ideas and information with your friends. You can also listen to music or watch movies if you like.
In short, computers are really useful and important to my life and my work.

Topic 3: Your favorite leisure activity (for women).
I often cook when I have free time because cooking is a joyful and relaxing activity for me.
First, cooking a good meal brings happiness to my family. All the members in my family can gather around the table and enjoy the food I cook and talk and share the joy with each others.
Second, cooking is my favorite hobby because I’m a woman. Cooking is one way to show my feminine character and to show my responsibility in the family.
Finally, cooking helps me reduce stress of everyday hard work and makes me relaxed. When I cook, I can forget the problems that I have and just pay attention to the cooking. Maybe, after relaxing, I feel much happier and I can solve my problem.
In conclusion, cooking is my favorite activity when I have free time.

Topic 4: The advantages of living in the countryside.
Living in the countryside is really good for your life because of these reasons:

In conclusion, there are many benefits of living in the country.

Topic 5: The disadvantages of living in the city.

Second, the cost of living is much higher than in the rural areas. People have to spend more money on food, drink, clothes and other activities like traveling and entertainment, while the salary has not been much improved.
Finally, life in the city is more dangerous than in the countryside because of night clubs, discotheques, casinos… City people are easily attracted by social evils such as drinking, drug
