Drills                                                           Name:                                  

Drill 1  Which of the following single-paragraph essays is better as a response to the following writing topic? How can you improve the other? Writing Topic: Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? It is always good to have many people who give you advice.

 

Answer A: I agree with the statement that it is always good to have many people who give you advice. Actually, my parents and friends always give me good advice when I do not know what to do. Thanks to them, I never make a mistake. Advice from others also saves time because I do not have to spend time thinking about the problem. Having many people who give you advice is always good to live without mistakes and live efficiently.


Answer B: I partly agree with the statement that it is always good to have many people who give you advice. You can avoid becoming self-righteous by learning viewpoints that are different from yours. However, you may lose the ability to think by yourself or take responsibility by depending on others all the time. Also, you might get confused by listening to different opinions at the same time. Therefore, it is not always good to have many people who give you advice.

 

 

Drill 2  Discuss the following wiring topic, write a short essay on it including expressions below, and write comments on each other’s essay. Writing Topic: Do you agree or disagree with the following statement. It is always bad to lie.

 

● not only but also …. 「~だけでなくも」

● the + 比較級 , the + 比較級… 「~すればするほど一層…」

 

Hints for Points: If you lie, people around you will lose confidence in you. Relationships are based on trust. It is sometimes necessary to tell a white lie in order not to hurt someone. The truth is not always good for communication.
