4. Nowadays, the police have been applying the new regulation concerning the use of seat belts. In
European countries, this regulation has been applied for a long time. However, this new regulation has
become controversial and is an interesting topic to discuss. Here are some of the arguments.

The use of seat belts has been proven to reduce the risk of injury or death in an accident. Seat belt has
become standard component in cars. The research shows that most car accident will cause an injury
to the head. Frequently, drivers or the passengers driving without seat belts die because of this. By
wearing the seat belts, the injury will not happen since belts restrain our body on the car seat when the
accident happens.

Unfortunately, many cars, especially the old ones, don't have seat belts. This is because the traffic
conditions in the past were unlike the recent traffic conditions. The designer of old cars didn't consider
a seat belt as an important part. Besides, the drivers wearing the seat belt will think that they are
completely safe, so they may drive carelessly. They are safe, indeed, but how about safety of other?

The seat belt is only one of the ways to reduce the risk of car accidents. It doesn't mean that we are
completely safe In short, our safety depends on ourselves.

What is the main idea of paragraph 3?

a) Old cars do not use seat belts. b) The old cars have seat belts for their safety.

c) The old cars' designer considered a seat belt as d) The drivers wear seat belts may drive carefully.

8. Should performance enhancing drugs be accepted in sports?

The issue of using drugs to enhance athlete’s performance is controversial. Those who agree to the
use of drugs in enhancing performance say that most top players in all sports take drugs to train
harder and feel no pain during play. The trainers, sports doctors, nutritionists, physiotherapists, and
managers of the big names make sure banned substances are taken at the safest and most efficient
levels. The main effect of banning such substances has turned performers and their coaches into liars
and cheaters.

On the other hand, some still believe that performance enhancing drugs in sport should be banned.
Performance enhancing drugs are not only prohibited because they violate the spirit of sport but
because they can damage the health of athletes.

I think the idea of allowing them in sports could lead to a situation whereby sportsmen and women are
used as human guinea pigs for a constant flow of new, unregulated substances.

What argument is given by those who disagree with the use of performance enhancing drugs?

a) Athletes consume more drugs. b) Athletes obey the rules.

c) Athletes perform better. d) Athletes health is badly affected.

12. There are a lot of discussions as to whether children should be given homework or not.

Some people claim that children to enough work in school already. They also argue that children have
hobbies that they want to do after school, such as sports or music. A further point they make is that a
lot of homework is pointless and doesn't help the child learn at all.

However, there are also strong arguments against this point of view. Parents and teachers argue that
it is important to find out whether children can work on their own without the support from the
teacher. They say that the evening is a good time for children to sit down and think about what they
have learned in school.

Furthermore they claim that the school day is too short to get anything done that needs doing and it
makes sense to send home tasks like independent reading or further writing tasks that don't need
teacher's support.

On balance, I think that some homework is a good idea but that it should only given at the weekend
when children have more time.
