Ex.1.    “Advantages and Disadvantages of Living Abroad”

            Nowadays a lot of young people choose to travel abroad and to live there for up to a few years. Some say that it is an excellent experience while others think that it can be very stressful for people.

           On the one hand, there are some advantages to living abroad. Firstly, it is a great way to discover a new world, sometimes completely different from your own and to discover other ways of doing things. Because of this people become more open-minded. Secondly, young people who live without their family become more independent. It means that they can make their own decisions.

          On the other hand, there are some disadvantages.  First of all, young people will be living without their parents, so they must do everything by themselves. For example, they need to learn how to organize their money, how to cook and to do all the housework. Besides, if they have difficulties or problems, they will have to face them on their own. It can be very stressful.

          In conclusion, living abroad is a great thing, which has also disadvantages. Personally, I think that living abroad would be a nice idea, but just for a year, because I believe that it is enough to grow up and become independent.

Карточка №4.

It is now easier than ever to access the Internet, whether you are using a computer, phone or tablet.

Some people say that the Internet has many benefits and that it helps us a lot, but others think that the Internet is a bad invention and we can easily live without it.

On the one hand, there are some advantages to using the Internet.

One advantage of the Internet is that teenagers can do research for their schoolwork and homework.

This often helps teenagers to widen their knowledge and improve their grades.

Another positive aspect of the Internet is that young people can practice foreign languages by chatting to friends in other countries.

This will help them improve their language skills.

On the other hand, there are some disadvantages.

Some teenagers become addicted and waste too much time surfing the Internet.

This can have a negative effect on their schoolwork and their social lives.

In addition, excessive Internet use can mean that some young people hardly talk to their families because they are always on the computer.

This can lead to misunderstanding between teenagers and their parents.

To sum up, spending time on the Internet can have a negative impact on young people, but it also has many advantages.

Personally, I think the Internet is an incredible tool and the benefits of internet access outweigh the dangers. However, we should be careful not to use the Internet very much.

………………that the subject of keeping animals in zoos creates a lot of debate. Some people say zoos are traditional family entertainment and good for animals. Others say keeping animals in zoos is cruel and inhumane.

This makes people want to look after animals and protect their natural habitats. ……………………. zoos help to protect endangered species by offering them a safe place to live. …………… zoos help to find mates for endangered species. For example, many pandas would not find a mate to breed with if they were on their own in the wild.

……………………………there are many arguments against keeping animals in zoos. Firstly, zoo animals often suffer from stress and boredom when they are not in their natural habitat. Secondly, unwanted animals are sometimes sold to circuses, hunting parks or for meat. ………………………….that animals sometimes escape from their enclosures, which is dangerous for humans.

…………………………… there are strong arguments for and against keeping animals in zoos. …………… I think it is acceptable to keep animals in zoos, as long as they have enough space and are properly looked after.
