TOPIC 137 
Your school has enough money to purchase either computers for 
students or books for the library. Which should your school choose to buy—
computers or books? Use specific reasons and examples to support your 
recommendation. 
Our school has been given a grant to make necessary improvements to 
its facilities. We can spend it on new books for the library or on more 
computers. Our school already has books in its library and it already has 
computers. Since we have more books than computers, I think that new 
computers will benefit the student more. 
Computers can access up-to–date information on the Internet. Right 
now, the reference books in our library are very outdated. Our encyclopedia 
set is eight years old. But if every student had access to a computer, we all 
could have the latest facts and figures on everything. 
Unfortunately, giving every student a computer means we need a lot of 
computers. Right now, the ratio of computers to students is one to twelve. 
This means students only get to work on the computers three or four times a 
week. But if every student had a computer, we could use it whenever we 
wanted. 
“Information on demand” should be our slogan. Students today need 
lots of information right away. Life goes by too quickly to wait. It takes 
forever to identify a book that you think might have the information you 
need. Then you have to go to the library and look for the book. Usually it’s 
not even there. 
With a computer, information searches are instantaneous. If we all had 
computers, we could access more information and access it faster by 
computer. We could have all the information we needed for our schoolwork. 
We could all improve our grades. For these reasons, I feel that purchasing 
more computers will benefit us more than buying more books. 
 TOPIC 138 
 Many students choose to attend schools or universities outside their home 
countries. Why do some student abroad? Use specific reasons and details to 
explain your answer. 
 Although students can get a good education in most subjects at their home 
universities, it is important to study abroad for some or part of one’s college 
education. Study abroad can give a student competency in a new language, 
familiarity with a different culture, and a chance to grow in different ways. 
 One cannot deny that it is important to be bilingual or even multilingual 
in today’s fast-paced world. We have a global economy and communication 
by Internet and satellite TV means we must be familiar with other languages 
in order to keep up with new developments. 
 Knowing another culture is also important today. Respect for other people 
and their traditions will foster cooperation and peace. We should all do our 
part to make sure the world is safe for our children. It will only be safe if we 
understand and respect other people and their culture. 
When we are out of our environment, we feel freer to experiment with 
different ways of doing things. We are all individuals and we need time to be 
on our own, away from our comfortable nests. We may try different things 
and reject them. We might also adopt them. People can change and it is 
easier to change when you are away from your family surroundings. 
Study abroad can be enriching. Not only can we learn a new language, 
understand more about a different culture, but we can learn more about 
ourselves too. At the same time, of course, we are getting an education in the 
formal sense. 
TOPIC 139 
People listen to music for different reasons and at different times. Why 
is music important to many people? Use specific reasons and examples to 
support your choice. 
Music seems to be a natural need for people. I’ve read that from ancient 
times human beings have produced sounds from “instrument” like rocks or 
skins stretched over a wooden frame. Music is something most people want 
and need. I think it’s important because it can be a major part of both 
community and individual experience. 
Music is a way of sharing a common bond or feeling. When we’re 
children, we learn very simple songs called nursery rhymes. These songs 
help make us part of our culture by telling us what’s acceptable and what’s 
not. We play and sing music in our religious ceremonies because it enhances 
the worship experience. We play music when we’re going to war or 
celebrating the fact that we’re won a war. 
We have national anthems to share our love and pride for our particular 
country. We have music we play for our school, and music we play for our 
athletic team. In fact, music has become a big part of athletic games. We use 
it to taunt the other team as well as celebrate when points are scored for our 
team. 
Music is also a major part of individual experiences. When we fall in 
love, music is usually a part of that experience. People talk about having 
“our song.” That means the song that was playing when they met or a song 
they both liked when they fell in love. When we get married, we play music 
before and after and sometimes during the ceremony. It expresses how we 
feel. We play music to calm our nerves or to stimulate ourselves to get on 
with a task. We also play music for the simple enjoyment of listening to the 
sounds. 
Music is special to us because it expresses our connection with our 
culture, and because it enhance our individual experiences. Nothing else 
seems to capture our feelings quite so well.
