Practice making an intro (only!) "Agree or disagree: The decisions that people make quickly are always wrong"

Agree or Disagree: Teachers should be paid according to how much their students learn.

The teacher is the person that has a big influence in each student's life. The knowledge about any subject matter that a student could gain primarily depends on him. In my view, I would definitely agree that a teacher's salary should depend on how much students have learned. Obvious reasons are, he is expected to teach children; the students' performances in school reflects his efficiency as a teacher and last thing, the students pay the school for a better education.

Which opinion do you agree with? Some people think that government should spend as much money as possible on developing or buying computer technology. Others disagree and think that this money should be spent on more basic needs.

Many governments are spending money in less significant things like computer technology. Government officials do not realize that there are numerous important basic things for survival. I must admit that the world is constantly changing, with a special mention to technologies which undeniably brings some good things in our daily lives such as easy communication. However, no matter how good it is, still I am not completely in favor of investing in such things but rather to many basic needs of the people. We have to understand that procurement of computers is more of  waste of money; enormous numbers of starving people are patiently waiting for help and lastly, public school needs a lot of improvement.

Agree or Disagree: People should read only those books that are about real events, real people, and established facts.

A person who is a wide reader learns a lot. It could precisely make him intelligent! There are varieties of different books to read such as real love story, biography, history of one's country, facts like how the animal and people are different etc. So, I am convinced that these help the reader in many ways and to name a few: it help the reader to deal positively with difficulties in life. Likewise, it inspire people and lastly it definitely influence the reader constructively.

Note: This is only an introduction. Anyone is invited to join in. Any comment is welcome.

In some instances in our lives we have to decide for a cause.Some needs urgent desicions, others can wait an ample time of our responses.In replying an urgent decision, it doesn't mean that the result would turn out to be wrong, it is how the way your thinking develop on responding on it.So  obviously I don't agree this,"the decicions that people make quickly are always wrong."

Hi Leslei,

Agree or disagree: Only people who earn a lot of money are successful.

Success could be in many ways. Some people view it as solely financial matter. Others may take it as something that money could not buy. For some reasons, I never agree that only wealthy people are those that are successful. I can be successful in my profession; in taking part in saving the earth from global warming and I can be successful by positively influencing the youth. All of these I can do, even having not much money in my pocket.

"Some people think that children should begin their formal education at a very early age and should spend most of their time on school studies. Others believe that young children should spend most of their time playing. Compare these two views. Which do you agree with? why?"

Children have the right to play and study. Some parents have them study as early as 2 years old, for the main reason that they want their kids to be intelligent. Others would let their children play all the time until they reach 6 years old because they believe that those who have experienced the joy of playing will certainly be emotionally stable when they get adult. But for my own reasons, I would have my children indulge sufficient amount of their of time  playing. One reason is to give them fully their right to play. Also, to let them learn from it and lastly to prepare them to adulthood.

Hi jujem;
 This is Haider, how are things going with you, its been long time we last communicated. How was your last exam? I think not too good (just like me ) . anyway, lets keep it up and never give up,
we should keep trying (but to be honest, I started losing my self confidence) because in the last exam i felt that I was perfect in the speaking especially in the 3rd and 5th questions (compus things)
but still stuck with that FAIR 2.5 - 3.0 in all 3 groups. I dont know about you? anyway Im back to this war and its too early for me to run away. good luck for all.

Haider

Hi there Haider, yeah it's been awhile since we last talked.. you're a good guesser! I only got 24 in speaking and I need 26. You are also right that retaking this exam lowers our confidence.  But we are not here to surrender, we are here to fight and succeed! So, let's get going... God bless us all..

Students at universities have often a choice of places to live. They may choose to live in university dormitories, or they may choose to live in apartments in the community. Compare their advantages. Where would you choose to live?
 
 
One of the exciting events that could happen to every university student is to get the chance to live in an apartment or dormitory. A university dormitory is beneficial since it offers affordable room with necessary facilities, not to mention its assurance of the student's safety.  The apartment as well, offers almost the same benefits but differ when it comes to room rates which is higher most of the time. The full freedom that a student could exercise while living in apartment is absolutely exciting however there is greater risks that the landlord will not be liable to. Personally, I do prefer to live in a dormitory for the favorable things that it could bring me as mentioned above.

Thanks a million, I really need to hear that. Regarding the time, actually it takes more than 30 min , so I need to practice more.

Hi Petra,

    You are welcome!

Groups or organizations are an important part of some people's lives. Why are they important to many people?

The saying "No man is an island" is well-known to everyone. It is all true since we were created to be united and not to be alone. Few people do not realize it because it is more comfortable for them to do things all by themselves. But it is more likely that most people need other people to accomplish things. In this way, I totally agree that we need each other for several reasons such as: a group can positively influence us; it help the community to improve and it can make us famous.

Many students choose to attend universities outside their home countries. Why do many students study abroad?

Every student has the right to choose where to pursue his studies. Others prefer to study in their home countries but numerous of them prefer it in foreign countries. In my point of view, here are some of the reasons why they have chosen foreign universities: they offer a wide varieties of courses; they are high standard schools and students from these universities earn respect from other people.
