Drill 1 Find eight differences between the two responses to the following question? Which do you think is more appropriate as an answer in a written test? Question: Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Voting should be mandatory.
Answer
A: I agree. It’s a
duty for a citizen living in a democracy to vote. Because, voting is the only
way to directly reflect the majority opinions. For accuracy, all citizens must
vote, and also, voting lets politicians know that people are watching them.
Without this function, politics will deteriorate. For example, Japan. It is the
low voting rates that are causing the corruption of the government in Japan.
The majority party would not be so negligent if people make their voices heard.
So, voting should be mandatory.
