Written Expression (5 pts)
Topic 1: Imagine you were a member of a peaceful organization, and you were
invited as a guest in a radio program that focuses on the importance of peace
in society. Write a talk of about 100-120 words in which you explain why peace
is important and how it benefits individuals and communities.
Model Answer:
Peace is the foundation of a harmonious and prosperous society. It ensures
stability and allows individuals to live without fear. Cooperation and unity thrive
in peaceful environments, leading to strong communities. Peace promotes
conflict resolution and ensures the well-being of everyone. It enables
education, economic growth, and better healthcare systems. In its absence,
lives are lost, and progress is halted. By supporting peace, we create
opportunities for rebuilding and healing, fostering trust among people. Let us
work together to spread the message of peace and play our part in making the
world a better place.
Topic 2: Imagine there is an exhibition in your school showcasing the
differences between life in the past and the present. Write a composition, of
about 100-120 words, to be published in your school magazine comparing past
lifestyles with that of people today. Focus on aspects like technology, daily
routines, and social interactions.
Model Answer:
Life in the past was simpler but more challenging compared to today.
Technology was limited, and people relied on manual labor for most tasks.
Daily routines were centered around basic needs, with little leisure time. Social
interactions were stronger, as people spent more time together, forming
close-knit communities. In contrast, modern life is fast-paced, with advanced
technology simplifying tasks. Communication has become instant through
social media, but face-to-face interactions have decreased. While today's
lifestyle offers comfort and convenience, the warmth of past relationships and
traditions remains unmatched. Both eras have their advantages, but we must
strive to balance progress with preserving human connections.
