In class, you have been discussing the statement ‘Old people should be looked after by members of their family or it is better for them to live in nursing-home’. Your teacher has asked you to write an essay expressing your own opinion.
Write your essay in 250-300 words.
A visible change of any living organism is getting older. Child, youth, adult and elder are some of the stages in our life. Child and elderly stages are dependent stages compared to other two stages. For both of these situations, a human being needs other’s support.
While we were children, our parents were there for our supportive role. When the parents became older, definitely their children need to be the supportive role for their parents. This is the role we carry among human beings vice versa. If the parents live with their children only parents will feel safer, attached to family and sharing of love. Unfortunately, many of them attending to works, they do not have time to look after their children neither their parents. In this case, elders could be sending to some a common place where other elders are staying. But payment cannot be made by the government.
Since it is the responsibility of their family, definitely family needs to pay for caring of their parents. They may not have enough time to take care of their parents. Since the government has employed special people for that, at least those elders’ parents need to be paid by their family.
For an example, many of the parents were private sector employees and they did not have a monthly pension scheme. But they have only Employee provident fund and employee trust funds. It has been used by the children of the parents in plantation sector of Sri Lanka. Finally, children will neither look after their parents nor elderly parents do not have own money in hand. That is, all advantages utilised from elders. When they become a stage of the dependent, families are trying to escape from their responsibilities. This is a kind of selfish. Paid by the government should be stopped and families should be paid for them.
Especially the children are responsible for looking after the parents; they should definitely pay for the parents and not the government.

Studying the English language in an English-speaking country is the bes but not the only way to learn the language. Do you agree or disagree wish this statement?Write an essay of 200-250 words expressing your opinion.
Studying English language in an English - speaking country has many advantages. Howver, I believe that it is not the best way to learn the language.
Firstly, most students who live in non - English - speaking countries learn English at secondary schooland at university.Although their spoken is not fluent, their knowledge of grammar is often quite advanced. This is useful when they come to an English - speaking country to improve the language.
Secondly, students'living at home do not have to worry about problems such as: finding accommodation, paying for their study, living costs and trying to survive in a foreign country. It would cause them much stress.
Finally, nowadays, the society is grower and grower and information technology is also improved. The internet thus also born. So we can register a few courses on the network. It also helps us to speak and communicate with English speakers.
For the reasons above, I believe that we can learn English whenever and wherever nowadays.
Read the following passage, and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
Loneliness is a curious thing. Most of us can remember feeling most lonely when we were not in fact alone at all, but when we were surrounded by people. Everyone has experienced, at some time, that utter sense of isolation that comes over you when you are at a party, in a room full of happy laughing people, or in an audience at a theatre or a lecture. It suddenly seems to you as if everybody knows everybody else, everybody is sure of himself, everybody knows what is going on; everybody, that is, except you.
This feeling of loneliness which can overcome you when are in a crowd is very difficult to get rid of. People living alone - divorced, widowed or single people - are advised to tackle their loneliness by joining a club or society, by going out and meeting people. Does this really help? And what do you do if you are already surrounded by people?
There are no easy solutions. Your first day at work, or at a new school or university, is a typical situation in which you are likely to feel lonely. You feel lonely because you feel left out of things. You feel that everybody else is full of confidence and knows what to do, but you are adrift and helpless. The fact of the matter is that, in order to survive, we all put on a show of self-confidence to hide our uncertainties and doubts. So it is wrong to assume that you are alone.
In a big city it is particularly easy to get the feeling that everybody except you is leading a full, rich, busy life. Everybody is going somewhere, and you tend to assume that they are going somewhere nice and interesting, where they can find life and fulfilment. You are also going somewhere, and there is no reason at all to believe that your destination is any less, or, for that matter, any more exciting than the next man's.
The trouble is that you may not be able to hide the fact that you are lonely, and the miserable look on your face might well put people off. After all, if you are at a party you are not likely to try to strike up a conversation with a person who has a gloomy expression on his face and his lips turned down at the comers. So trying to look reasonably cheerful is a good starting point in combating loneliness, even if you are choking inside.
The next thing to avoid is finding yourself in a group where in fact you are a stranger, that is, in the sort of group where all the other people already know each other. There is a natural tendency for people to stick together, to form 'cliques'. You will do yourself no good by trying to establish yourself in a group which has so far managed to do very well without you. Groups generally resent intrusion, not because they dislike you personally, but because they have already had to work quite hard to turn the group into the functioning unit. To include you means having to go over a lot of ground again, so that you can learn their language, as it was, and get involved in their conversation at their level. Of course if you can offer something the group needs, such as expert information, you can get in quickly.
In fact the surest way of getting to know others is to have an interest in common with them. There is no guarantee that you will then like each other, but at least part of your life will be taken up with sharing experiences with others. It is much better than always feeling alone. If all this seems to be a rather pessimistic view of life, you have to accept the fact that we are_all alone when it comes down to it. When the most loving couple in the world kiss and say goodnight, as soon as the husband falls asleep, the wife realizes that she is alone, that her partner is as far away as if he were on another planet. But it is no cause for despair: there is always tomorrow.
Question:When we start a new job, we try to hide our sense of loneliness by trying to
A. do our job very well.
B.be as friendly as possible with other people.
C. appear sure of ourselves.
D.look cheerful.

⚫ Do you think we can learn anything from older generations?
⚫ Compare the role of the family in today’s world to the past.
⚫ Should we ask our family for help, or should we try being independent?
⚫ In your opinion, when does a child become an adult
⚫ Yes, we can definitely learn valuable lessons from older generations. They possess a wealth of knowledge, wisdom, and life experiences that can provide valuable insights and guidance. Older generations often carry traditional practices, cultural heritage, and historical perspectives that can help shape our understanding of the world and inform our decision-making. Their experiences can teach us about resilience, perseverance, and the importance of human connection. Engaging with older generations allows us to bridge the generation gap and foster intergenerational understanding and respect.
⚫ The role of the family has evolved in today's world compared to the past. In the past, families often had more extended networks and lived in closer proximity, leading to stronger interdependence and reliance on the family unit for social and economic support. Today, families are often more nuclear or blended, and societal changes have led to increased individualism and mobility. While the importance of family remains, the roles and responsibilities within families have shifted, with individuals seeking more autonomy and independence.
⚫ It is important to strike a balance between seeking help from family and fostering independence. Family can provide a valuable support system, offering guidance, emotional support, and practical assistance when needed. However, it is also crucial to cultivate self-reliance and independence to develop essential life skills and a sense of personal agency. Depending on the situation, it is wise to assess the resources and expertise available within the family and make an informed decision on when to ask for help and when to rely on one's own abilities.
⚫ The transition from childhood to adulthood is a subjective and multifaceted process. It is not solely determined by a specific age but rather by a combination of factors such as emotional maturity, social responsibility, and self-sufficiency. Different cultures and societies may have varying perspectives on when a child becomes an adult. Generally, it involves taking on adult responsibilities, making independent decisions, and assuming accountability for one's actions. The transition to adulthood can be a gradual process influenced by education, life experiences, and personal growth. Ultimately, it is a personal journey with no fixed or universal age of adulthood.
