Example

Should Children Wear Hats at School?

I believe that you should always wear a hat at school when you are playing outside, to stop you from
getting sunburn.

Argument 1:

Firstly, if you don’t wear a hat, you will get sunburn ant the sunburn is painful.

Argument 2:

Secondly, sunburn could lead to skin cancer. Sunburn can lead to health problems later in life. Many
older people suffer from skin cancer which can kill them.

Reinforcement of position statement:

In my opinion all school students should wear hats.

The Importance of English

I personally think that English is the world’s most important language. why f=do I say that? Firstly,
English is an international language. It is spoken by many people all around the world, either as a first or
second language. Secondly, English is also the key which opens doors to scientific and technical
knowledge, which is needed for the economic and political development of many countries in the world.
Thirdly, English is a top requirement of those seeking jobs. Applicants who master either active or
passive English are more favorable than those who for not. From the fact above, it is obvious that
everybody needs to learn English to greet the global era.
