Drills
Drill 1
Read the following question and answers, and answer the following
question.
Question: Do you agree or disagree with
the following statement? One
should never get angry.
Answer A: I do not agree with the idea
that one should never get angry for two reasons. Getting angry is good for
survival. For example, it will stop bullying. If you do not get angry, bullies
will take advantage of it and you will never be free from their abuse. Anger also helps others. Mothers get angry to educate their
children; or else, their children would hurt or anger other people in the
future. Getting angry has these good points. Therefore, I do not think that one
should never get angry.
Answer B: Getting angry is not a
popular behavior. It intimidates others. It is embarrassing to get upset and
lose integrity, because it is usually the result of ignorance, ego, or fear. However,
one should sometimes get angry if necessary. If you are bullied, you must get
angry to end the abuse. Mothers have to show anger to teach their ill-behaved
children dos and don’ts. One ought to get angry for a right reason, so it
cannot be said that one should never get angry.
Question: Which do you think is the
more appropriate way to answer the question? Why? How can the other one be
improved?
