Paragraph 2: Disadvantages Drawbacks. Bad family. ative speakers. !"pensive.

Conclusion: #hoose the right place and family. Avoid speaking your own language.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of studying abroad?

In recent yearsstudying !nglish in Britain or the $.%.A seems to be the latest fashion for students who

hope to improve their language skills. According totour operators& it is the 'uickest and most effective

way of learning. Whether this is true remains to be seen

(iving with an !nglish speaking family as an au pair or doing a summer )ob are currentlythe most

popular choices. *lder students generally preferto stay with a family !hile attending+intensive

!nglish courses at a language school. In theory"this means spea#ing!nglish ,- hours a day.

It could be argued" ho!ever"that looking after children can actually be stressful and evena negative

e"perienceunlessyou stay with the right family. Although going to classes will obviously improveyour level& in many schools you may meet people from your own country and end

upcommunicatingin your mother tongue.

In conclusion" therefore" it could be saidthat studying abroad is only a good option if you avoid

mi$ingwith people of your own nationality. (anguage courses can be e"pensive and living with the

wrong family could be a serious mistake.

C&%C-.)I&%: Banning is inevitable because of progress.

Cars should be banned from city centres

In recent timesour lifestyle has changed dramatically in many ways. In the past people could drive

freely around the city without any problem& but no!adaystraffic in city centres has become a serious

headache. he authorities now feel obliged to ta#eurgent measures to solve this issue.

8ost modern cities and large towns have turnedtheir centre intopedestrian 9ones due tothe increase

in population and a greater number of car users. 5arking is almostimpossible and space is running

out& not to mentionthe health risk from pollution and the /uestionof road safety.

Although banningcars from the city centre seems to be an inevitable conse'uence of all this&we should not forgetabout those people who must be able toaccess these areas without

restrictions. 5ensioners& disabled people and local residents are an e"ceptional case& and lorry and van

drivers should be allo!ed todeliver to shops or offices.

In conclusion& the prohibition of cars from city centres is probably the only practical solution o!ing

tolack of space. hese measures should not& ho!ever& affect those who live or work there.

Advertising plays an important role in modern life

In recent times".:. has been reaching a hugeworldwide audience while advertising has

become increasinglyimportant in our daily lives. It is also present& ho!ever& in the cinema&

maga9ines& newspapers and Internet. It now dominates our lives.

Althoughthis is a great opportunity for the media to make money& it can have a negative influence on

the general public. %o!adaysit seems there are no limits. Advertising campaigns sell products using

fear& se"& humour& violence and above allby creatingcompetition between people and a +need for a

product.

Buying a bigger car& a .:. or more e"pensive perfume than your neighbour is causing e"cessive

consumerism. We are victims of fashion. If you do not buy the latestsmart phone or computer you

'he roles of men and !omen are changing in modern society

%ince the se"ual revolution in the si"ties and the progress of feminist movements in recent times& the

roles of men and women in society have been constantly evolving.

@ifty years ago most women finished school early and left home to get married& become a housewife

and look after the children. %o!adays" ho!ever& a high percentage of women have university degrees

and careers in a previouslymaledominated world. Presently"it is not surprisingto see female

8embers of 5arliament or women occupying e"ecutive positions in companies.

is increasing alarmingly& and may be a conse'uence of men losing power and control.

e"pecting a revolution at work and in our everyday life& but has it really happened?

&n one hand" it could be said thatour working habits and study techni'ues have

changed dramatically. !asy access to information can save a lot of time& energy and money. %ocial

networks such as @acebook have changed personal relationships& !hilearranging holidays or buying

and selling products online have become increasingly popular and efficient.

It could" ho!ever" be argued thatfor old people& life has not changed so rapidly in many

cases unlessthey move with the times. 8any people still prefer to go out and meet their friends rather

thanchatting online. 5ersonal contact is still important& especially in business& despite the rise of

Internet.

In conclusion" it !ould be fair to say that& althoughInternet has inevitablychanged many aspects
