Drill 1 Which response to the following statement is better? Why? Statement: Most women are not so violent as men.
a.
I cannot agree. I had seldom been attacked by
others until bulling started. Then almost all women as well as men started
attacking me mentally and physically. Actually, those physically attacked me
were mostly women. This might surprise men, but the fact is that women stay
nonviolent in front of men, while they are as violent as or more violent than
men.
b.
I agree. Although I have a traumatic
experience of female violence, it is personal. It is true that there have been
warlike female politicians, but they are exceptions. Meanwhile, most violent
crimes are committed by men. The victims of domestic violence are usually
women. Whether the cause is biological, social, or psychological, statistics
clearly show that more men than women are involved in violence.
Drill 2 Discuss the following
statement, write a short essay on it including sentences with the structures
below, and write comments on or correct mistakes of each other’s essay. Most significant
events in life are accidental.
●While it is true that
～, S V …,「確かに～だがSV… だ。」
●It seems that ～.「～の様に思える。」
Hints for Points: Most
people make plans about important events in life, such as marriage and
childbirth. Birth and death happen by chance. You do not plan to be fond of
someone or something. You cannot decide when or how to get sick or die. While
it is true that you can make an informed decision and make efforts to live a
good life, most events in life are uncontrollable. It seems that we have little
control of our fate.
