TOPIC: Several languages are in danger of extinction because they are spoken by very small numbers of
people. Some people say that governments should spend public money on saving these languages, while
others believe that would be a waste of money.
Discuss both these views and give your opinion.

ANSWER:

It is true that some minority languages may disappear in the near future. Although it can be argued that
governments could save money by allowing this to happen, I believe that these languages should be
protected and preserved.

There are several reasons why saving minority languages could be seen as a waste of money. Firstly, if a
language is only spoken by a small number of people, expensive education programmes will be needed
to make sure that more people learn it, and the state will have to pay for facilities, teachers and
marketing. This money might be better spent on other public services. Secondly, it would be much
cheaper and more efficient for countries to have just one language. Governments could cut all kinds of
costs related to communicating with each minority group.

Despite the above arguments, I believe that governments should try to preserve languages that are less
widely spoken. A language is much more than simply a means of communication; it has a vital connection
with the cultural identity of the people who speak it. If a language disappears, a whole way of life will
disappear with it, and we will lose the rich cultural diversity that makes societies more interesting. By
spending money to protect minority languages, governments can also preserve traditions, customs and
behaviours that are part of a countrys history.

In conclusion, it may save money in the short term if we allow minority languages to disappear, but in
the long term this would have an extremely negative impact on our cultural heritage.

y l bi essay band 9 ca anh Simon, mt bi mnh rt chi l thch:

TOPIC: Nowadays animal experiments are widely used to develop new medicines and to test the safety
of other products. Some people argue that these experiments should be banned because it is morally
wrong to cause animals to suffer, while others are in favour of them because of their benefits to
humanity.
Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

ANSWER:

It is true that medicines and other products are routinely tested on animals before they are cleared for
human use. While I tend towards the viewpoint that animal testing is morally wrong, I would have to
support a limited amount of animal experimentation for the development of medicines.

On the one hand, there are clear ethical arguments against animal experimentation. To use a common
example of this practice, laboratory mice may be given an illness so that the effectiveness of a new drug
can be measured. Opponents of such research argue that humans have no right to subject animals to
this kind of trauma, and that the lives of all creatures should be respected. They believe that the benefits
to humans do not justify the suffering caused, and that scientists should use alternative methods of
research.

On the other hand, reliable alternatives to animal experimentation may not always be available.
Supporters of the use of animals in medical research believe that a certain amount of suffering on the
part of mice or rats can be justified if human lives are saved. They argue that opponents of such research
might feel differently if a member of their own families needed a medical treatment that had been
developed through the use of animal experimentation. Personally, I agree with the banning of animal
testing for non-medical products, but I feel that it may be a necessary evil where new drugs and medical
procedures are concerned.

In conclusion, it seems to me that it would be wrong to ban testing on animals for vital medical research
until equally effective alternatives have been developed.
