2-2“ Preventionis better than cure. ” Out of a country lth'bsuhdegaet, a large proportion should be diverted from treatment to spending on health education and preventative measures.To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?

Of course it goes without saying that prevention is better than cure. That is why, in recent years, there has been a growing body of opinion in favor of putting more

resources into health education and preventive measures. The argument is that

ignorance of, for example, basic hygiene or the dangers of an unhealthy diet or

lifestyle needs to be combated by special nationwide publicity campaigns, as well as

long-term health education.

Obviously, there is a strong human argument for catching any medical condition as

early as possible. There is also an economic argument for doing so. Statistics demonstratethe cost-effectiveness of treating a condition in the early stages,rather

than delaying until more expensive and prolonged treatment is necessary. Then, there

are social or economic costs, perhaps in terms of loss of earnings for the family concerned of unemployed benefit paid by the state.

So far so good, but the difficulties start when we try to define what the

propo of the budget should be, particularly if the funds will be tre“atmdievnetrte”d

f.rom

Decisions on exactly how much of the total health budget should be spent in this way

are not a matter for the non-specialist, but should be made on the basis of an

accepted health service model.

This is the point at which real problems occur the formulation of the model. How

do we accurately measure which health education campaigns are effective in both

medical and financial terms? How do we agree about the medical efficacy of various screening programs, for example, when the medical establishment itself does not

agree? A very rigorous process of evaluation is called for, so that we can make

informed decisions.

3-2 When a country develops its technology, the traditional skills and ways of life

die out. It is pointless to try and keep them alive. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?

Overall, I disagree with the opinion expressed. I would like to begin by pointing out

that traditional skills and ways of life are not automatically of one country, but of

a culture or community.

In many ways, the history of civilization is the history of technology: from the

discovery of fire to the invention of the wheel to the development of the Internet, we have been moving on from previous ways of doing things. Some technologies, such as weapons of mass destruction, are of negative impact. Others, such as medical advances, positively help people to live better or longer, and so very much help traditional ways of life. Surely, few people would seek to preserve such traditions as living in caves!

Interestingly, technology can positively contribute to the keeping alive of

traditional skills and ways of life. For example, the populations of some islands are too small to have normal schools. Rather than breaking up families by sending

children to the mainland, education authorities have been able to use the Internet to deliver schooling online. In addition, the Internet, and modern refrigeration techniques, are being used to keep alive the traditional skills of producing salmon; it can now be ordered from, and delivered to, anywhere in the world.

In conclusion, without suggesting that all technology is necessarily good, I think it is by no means “ pointless ”, in any way, to try to keep traditions alive with technology. We should not ignore technology, because it can be our friend and support our way of life.

6-G B Using a computer everyday can have more negative than positive effects on young children. Do you agree or disagree?

I tend to agree that young children can be negatively affected by too much time spent on the computer everyday. This is partly because sitting in front of a screen for too long can be damaging to both the eyes and the physical posture of a young child, regardless of what they are using the computer for.

However, the main concern is about the type of computer activities that attract children. These are often electronic games that tend to be very intense and rather violent. The player is usually the “ hero o”f the game and too much exposure can encourage children to be self-centered and insensitive to others.

Even when children use a computer for other purposes, such as getting information or emailing friends, it is no substitute for human interaction. Spending time with other children and sharing non-virtual experience is an important part of a child 's development that cannot be provided by a computer.

In spite of this, the obvious benefits of computer skills for young children cannot be denied. Their adult world will be changing constantly in terms of technology and the

Internet is the key to all the knowledge and information available in the world today. Therefore, it is important that children learn at an early age to use the equipment enthusiastically and with confidence as they will need these skills throughout their studies and working lives.

I think the main point is to make sure that young children do not overuse computers. Parents must ensure that their children learn to enjoy other kinds of activity and

not simply sit at home, learning to live in a virtual world.

5-2 In some countries young people are encouraged to work or travel for a year between finishing high school and starting university studies. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages for young people who decide to do this.

It is quite common these days for young people in many countries to have a break from studying after graduating from high school. The trend is not restricted to rich students who have the money to travel, but is also evident among poorer students who choose to work and become economically independent for a period of time.

The reason for this trend may involve the recognition that a young adult who passes directly from school to university is rather restricted in terms of general knowledge and experience of the world. By contrast, those who have spent some time earning a living or travelling to other places, have a broader view of life and better personal resources to draw on. They tend to be more independent, which is a very important factor in academic study and research, as well as giving them an advantage in terms

of coping with the challenges of student life.

However, there are certainly dangers in taking time off at that important age. Young adults may end up never returning to their studies or finding it difficult to readapt to an academic environment. They may think that it is better to continue in a particular job, or to do something completely different from a university course. But overall, I think this is less likely today, when academic qualifications are

essential for getting a reasonable career.

My view is that young people should be encouraged to broaden their horizons. That is the best way for them to get a clear perspective of what they are hoping to do with their lives and why. Students with such a perspective are usually the most effective and motivated ones and taking a year off may be the best way to gain this.

4-G B Some people believe that children should be allowed to stay at home and play until they are six or seven years old. Others believe that it is important for young children to go to schoolas soon as possible.What do you think are the advantages of

attending school from a young age?

In many places today, children start primary school at around the age of six or seven. However, because it is more likely now that both parents work, there is little opportunity for children to stay in their own home up to that age. Instead, they will probably go to a nursery school when they are much younger.

While some people think this may be damaging to a child 'desvelopment, or to a child 'reslationship with his or her parents, in fact there are many advantages to having school experience at a young age.

Firstly, a child will learn to interact with a lot of different people and some children learn to communicate very early because of this. They are generally more confident and independent than children who stay at home with their parents and who are not used to strangers or new situations. Such children find their first day at school at the age of six very frightening and this may have a negative effect on how they learn.

Another advantage of going to school at an early age is that children develop faster socially. They make friends and learn how to get on with other children of a similar age. This is often not possible at home because they are the only child, or because their brothers or sisters are older or younger.

So overall, I believe that, attending school from a young age is good for most children. They still spend plenty of time at home with their parents, so they can benefit from both environments.

6-2 Successful sports professionals can earn a great deal more money than people in other important professions.Some people think this is fully justified while others think it is unfair. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.

As a result of constant media attention, sports professionals in my country have become stars and celebrities, and those at the top are paid huge salaries. Just like movie stars, they live extravagant lifestyles with huge houses and cars.

Many people find their rewards unfair, especially when comparing these super salaries with those of top surgeons or research scientists, or even leading politicians who have the responsibility of governing the country. However, sports salaries are not

determined by considering the contribution to society a person makes, or the level of responsibility he or she holds. Instead, they reflect the public popularity of sports
