TOPIC 86 
The government has announced that it plans to build a new university. 
Some people think that your community would be a good place to locate 
the university. Compare the advantages and disadvantages of 
establishing a new university in your community. Use specific details in 
your discussion. 
The first advantage of having a new university built in my community 
would be the jobs it would bring to the community. Initially, the jobs would 
be those connected with the actual building of the university structures, such 
as brick layers and carpenters. Once the building were completed, the jobs 
would be those on the campus itself. Those would include teachers, office 
workers, custodians, and librarians. 
Not all of the people the university hired would already be members of 
the community, so that would mean a lot of new people coming to town. Of 
course, a lot of students would come too. Two advantages of new people in 
town would be more taxpayers and a more diverse population. With more 
people paying taxes, there would be more money for schools, libraries and 
other community needs. With a more diverse population, there would be new 
stores, new restaurants (to serve different tastes) and new cultural influences. 
Of course, there would also be disadvantages. More people living in the 
community could mean more houses being built. There would be more 
traffic on the streets, with the combination of new residents and students 
who bring their cars. Plus, more people would mean more public services 
would be needed. These services could include everything from trash 
collection to more schools to hold all the children of the new residents. New 
services might mean local taxes would have to go up, even though there 
would be more taxpayers. 
Another disadvantage is that the personality of our community would 
change. It would go from being a place where everybody knows everybody 
else to a place where a lot of people are strangers. It would become a place 
with a lot of short-term residents, like the university students, who might not 
care as much about the town. 
Communities always change over time, though, and overall I like the 
atmosphere of a “college town.” A new university would bring a lot of 
challenges, but I think it would be worth it. 
TOPIC 87 
Some people think that the family is the most important influence on 
young adults. Other people think that friends are the most important 
influence on young adults. Which view do you agree with? Use examples 
to support your position. 
Although friends make an impression on your life, they do not have the 
same influence that your family has. Nothing is as important to me as my 
family. From them, I learned everything that is important. I learned about 
trust, ambition, and love. 
Your family is with you forever. They are not going to leave you because 
they find another daughter they like better. They are not going to leave you 
because they think you are too much trouble. A family is permanent, while 
friends come and go. 
Your parents are your role models. They will encourage you to do your 
best, to push yourself, and to improve yourself. Friends want you to stay the 
same: they don’t want you to be different. A family is ambitious for you. 
Friends are not. 
Your family teaches you about love. A family’s love is not judgmental. 
They love you for everything you are. Friends may love you because you 
have a new car or because you go out with them on Saturdays. A family 
loves you. Friends only like you. 
Without my family, I wouldn’t know what to do. I wouldn’t feel as secure. 
I might not have the ambition to go to school. I probably would be afraid to 
love. My family is my greatest influence.

TOPIC 88 
 Some people prefer to plan activities for their free time very carefully. 
Others choose not to make any plans at all for their free time. Compare 
the benefits of planning free-time activities with the benefits of not 
making plans. Which do you prefer―planning or not planning for your 
leisure time? Use specific reasons and examples to explain your choice. 
I think that free time is a precious thing for most of us. When we’re 
working hard, it’s nice to imagine what we’ll do when the weekend comes. 
We juggle one idea with another, trying to decide what best suits our budget 
and the amount of time we have. After all, anticipating free time is part of 
the pleasure. 
It’s good to plan what we’re going to do with our free time. That way we 
won’t waste any of it trying to decide. It’s so easy to just sit around and think 
about this or that activity. Before we know it, half the day is gone. If we 
decide ahead of time, We can get started in plenty of time, and we can get 
the most benefit out of the time we have. For instance, if we’re going on a 
picnic, we can get all our supplies ready to go. Or if we’re going to a movie, 
we can find out the time and how long it’ll take us to get there. Also, if we 
plan what we’re going to do with our free time, we can invite others to join 
us. If we wait until the last minute, our friends may have other plans. 
On the other hand, it’s also fun sometimes to do things without a plan. We 
can just leave the house and walk around and see what catches our attention. 
Often, this is how we discover places we never knew existed. We might end 
up doing something we never thought we’d try. We might just happen to find 
ourselves outside a new bookstore or a bowling alley and go in on a whim, 
because we have some free time. 
It’s nice if we can have the best of both worlds. We can plan our free time 
activities for one day of the weekend, and let the other day plan itself. This 
way our free time also gives us the enjoyment of having it both ways.
