TOPIC 97 
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? It is more 
important for students to study history and literature than it is for them 
to study science and mathematics. Use specific reasons and details to 
support your opinion. 
I think it’s more important for students to study history and literature. these 
subjects help us understand the human race and feed our spirits and our 
imaginations. That’s more important than understanding how to split the 
atom or do algebra. 
People talk about a crisis of spirit in our country. They mean we’ve forgotten 
how to believe in and understand our own better natures. I think part of this 
is because we’ve become too excited about facts and not enough about 
things we can’t see and measure. Reading books from our own culture helps 
us understand our roots. Reading books from other cultures helps us 
understand the way other people think and react to situations. It also teaches 
us that we’re not so very different from others, and that leads to better 
relations between cultures. 
Reading literature also feeds our spirits. Even when the material we’re 
reading is about terrible sadness and hardship, it still brings us in touch with 
our inner selves. It makes us think about issues other than new car we want 
to drive or how much money we’re making. 
Studying history gives us more information than just who died when or who 
won which war. It tell us about how human beings have related to each other 
at different periods in our development. It gives us the big picture. So often, 
when international crises occur, we only see the problem of the moment. We 
have no idea how something that happened twenty years ago was the 
beginning of this current problem. Without that information, we can have 
only a shallow understanding of ? going on in the world. 
Both history and literature are necessary subjects for students to prepare for 
more than just careers. These subjects prepare students for the way they 
want to live their lives. 
TOPIC 98 
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? All students 
should be required to study art and music in secondary school. Use 
specific reasons and details to support your opinion. 
I agree that all students should be required to study art and music in high 
school. I’ve read that young children who study art and music in grade 
school do better in their other studies. That argument aside, we should study 
art and music for its sake alone. We should study art and music to learn more 
about ourselves, our culture, and our world. 
Both art and music feed students’ imaginations and help them express 
themselves. There’s a reason our ancestors in caves drew on the walks and 
make music with drums. Wanting to express ourselves is natural. It gives us 
an ? for our emotions and fears. It may not always be music other want to 
hear or art others will appreciate, but the activity itself is enjoyable. It 
shouldn’t matter if the end of result isn’t perfect. In the process, we learn 
what we like and dislike. 
Studying art and music means more than drawing or playing an instrument. 
Student usually go to art galleries and concerts, too. By studying the pictures 
on the museums walls or by reading the program notes at a recital, students 
will learn what society has decided is worthy of praise. They learn what is 
important in their own culture. 
Students may also learn about other cultures by looking at art and listening 
to music from other countries. When they do that ,they ‘ll see similarities 
and differences with their own. They’ll learn about what is important in 
other societies. Student will also learn how the art and music of other 
societies. Students will also learn how the art and music of other cultures 
affect our own. 
By studying art and music in high school, students begin to understand 
themselves as well as their own culture and other culture. What could have 
more value than that? 
TOPIC 99 
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? There is nothing 
that young people can teach older people. Use specific reasons and 
details to support your opinion. 
Many of us believe that young people have nothing valuable to teach older 
people. However that is not always the case. Young people can teach older 
people about technology, young culture, and young-related social issues. 
Young people are usually better at using new forms of technology than older 
people can learn to use computers from young people. This is true of other 
technology too. For example ,I taught my grandparents how to use a video 
cassette recorder when I was thirteen years old. They didn’t know what it 
could do? Showed them. Now they use it regularly. 
Older people are usually not familiar with youth culture, and younger people 
can help here too. This is important because it can help older people live a 
more enjoyable life. For example, popular music is generally youth oriented, 
and older people don’t always listen to it. However, when young people 
teach them about it, they may come to enjoy it. My 
 Grandmother, for example never listened to popular music before I 
introduces her to it. Note she and I listen and dance all the time. I plan to 
teach her about another piece of youth culture ---rollerblading----very soon! 
Of course, there are more serious issues about which younger people can 
teach older people. As with computer, today’s children have grown up 
knowing about AIDS and school violence. That is not true for older 
generations. Here, again, children can teach older people about things that 
are important to everyone. 
I know there are people who would say “you can’t teach an older dog new 
tricks.” However, it’s plain to me that the young have plenty to teach the old 
if they take the time to try. When they do, I think both gain a new 
appreciation for each other. 
TOPIC 100 
 Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Reading fiction 
(such as novels and short stories) is more enjoyable than watching 
movies. Use specific reasons and examples to explain your position. 
Reading fiction, such as novels and short stories, is more enjoyable than 
watching a movie. Of course the images in a movie are much more vivid, 
because you’re seeing them on a large screen in a dark room. The images 
you “see” in a novel are only as strong as your own imagination. But the 
more you read, the stronger your imagination becomes. Reading exercise 
your imaginative powers. Watching a movie dulls them. Imagination like a 
muscle needs to be used. Otherwise it can disappear. 
When you read, you’re an active participant in your own enjoyment. That’s 
one reason reading develops the imagination. You’re reading the words on 
the page and translating them into images in your mind. When you’re 
watching a movie, you’re a passive viewer. The movie is giving you 
everything. Nothing comes from you except your reaction to what you’re 
seeing, and even that can be given you by the movie. Some movie plots are 
so simple, you can predict what’s going to happen before it does. 
Reading fiction also develops your storytelling skills. The more reading you 
do, the better you become at creating plots and characters. The plots and 
characters in movies are often very simple, because the emphasis is on 
action rather than on language or character development. 
Still, going to the movies is a great community experience. Sitting in a large 
theater with a lot of other people is fun. You experience the same reactions 
to what you’re seeing together. Reading is a one-person experience. It’s a 
chance to go into an imaginary world by yourself. Both experiences can be 
fun and rewarding, but I think reading fiction is more enjoyable.
