Simon Lesson 3:Main body paragraph
1、Answer methods
- 2 main body paragraphs
- 5 sentences in each
- 90 to 100 words each
2、2种写作方式
2.1 Firstly,Secondly,Finally
- disagree for several reasons
There are several reasons why l would argue against having compulsory community service for secondary school students.
- school timetable is full, no time for community service
Firstly, the school curriculum is already full with important academic subjects, such as maths, science and languages.For example, I remember having an extremely busy timetable when I was at high school, and it would not have been possible to add to it.
- students' work in other subjects would be affected
Secondly, students' performance in other subjects would be affected if valuable study time were taken by charity work or neighbourhood improvement schemes.
- teenagers might not want to do it (reluctant, no motivation)
Finally, I believe that teenage students would be reluctant to take part in any programme of obligatory work, and this could lead to poor motivation and even bad behaviour.
2.2 Firstly,Secondly,Finally模式的总结
尝试写了五句话:
- 主题句
- Firstly(增加解释或者举一个例子)
- Secondly
- Finally
连接词并不能帮助提高词汇分数,考官想看到的是主题词
连接词:Firstly。。。
主题词:
2.3 Idea,Explain,Example
- voluntary (not compulsory) community service is positive
On the other hand, the opportunity to do voluntary communityservice could be extremely positive for high school students.
- students more motivated if they can choose
By making these programmes optional, schools would ensure that only motivated students took part.
- gain work experience, self confidence, skills
These young people would gain valuable experience in an adult working environment,which could help to build their self confidence and enhance their skills.
- good for CVs, career, university admissions, employers
Having such experience and skills on their CVs could greatly improve school leavers' career prospects. For example, a period of voluntary work experience might impress a university admissions officer or a future employer.
2.4 Idea,Explain,Example模式的总结
尝试写5句话
- 想法
- 解释(2-3句话)
- 案例

4.1 Introduction
4.2 Main paragraphs
- why space spending should be stopped
There are several reasons why space programmes should be abandoned.
Firstly, it is extremely expensive to train scientists and other staff involved with space missions, and facilities and equipment also come at a huge cost to the government.
Secondly, these programmes do not benefit normal people in our daily lives; they are simply vanity projects for politicians.
Finally, many missions to space fail completely, and the smallest technological error can cost astronauts their lives.
- why public service spending is better
I believe that the money from space programmes should go to vital public services instead.
It is much cheaper to train doctors, teachers, police and other public service workers than it is to train astronauts or the scientists and engineers who work on space exploration projects.
Furthermore, public servants do jobs that have a positive impact on every member of society. For example, we all use schools,hospitals and roads, and we all need the security that the police provide.
lf governments reallocated the money spent on space travel and research, many thousands of people could be lifted out of poverty or givena better quality of life.
