 Page | 2 days, studying takes up such a lot of time that they cannot help 
 much with household chores and sometimes they even hardly 
 have time to relax. This can lead to suffering worse health and 
 losing the bond with their family. In families with higher 
 income, parents are often so busy with their work that they 
 send their children to private boarding schools, and the time 
 these students share with families is shortened more and 
 more. In many cases, high-schoolers meet their siblings and 
 parents at weekends only. It’s believed that there are some 
 advantages to live and study in academic places, but other 
 benefits that schools are unlikely to provide should be taken 
 into consideration. For example, these young learners can 
 learn a lot from their parents about social skills and doing 
 domestic chores. On one hand, some people think that 
 teenage students prefer to have privacy than to be controlled 
 by adults, which may be true. On the other hand, nothing can 
 compare or replace the parents’ affection in terms of nurturing 
 their children’s souls and their behaviours. Changes often bring 
 positive results but how people consider what is important to 
 maintain and preserve is worth thinking again.

 ago.

TASK 2
Script:
Hello everyone, today I’ll talk to you about some important roles of music in our 
life. You may listen to music on a daily basis, but do you know how it positively 
affects us? Well, let me tell you. Firstly, there is no doubt that music can make 
people feel relieved. It is said that when enjoying a favourite song we can reduce 
stress and lift our spirit up with its soft melody and ear-catching tune. Music 
can also help us relax when we are doing domestic chores like cleaning the 
floor, doing dishes, or tidying up the mess, etc. Secondly, music, especially the 
sound of classic instruments, can help us better concentrate on our work or 
study. Also, it is often thought that this kind of music can improve children’s 
development and health. Some mothers even let their children listen to Mozart 
and Beethoven’s music in their very first months. However, not everybody likes 
listening to music while doing some work because it can distract them. In this 
case, music turns out to be a problem
1. Reduce
2. domestic
 Page | 12 Sample writing:
My house is located in a busy and noisy street where there are some pressing 
environmental problems that need addressing. First, there is often lots of 
rubbish in the street. Many mindless inhabitants do not have the habit of 
dropping litter in the right place or clearing up dog poops after walking the 
dogs, which makes the street dirty and unhygienic. Therefore, in my opinion, 
fining those people heavily would be a better way to tackle this issue. Second, 
there is a lack of green space here. It’s essential for us to build a nearby park 
with lots of trees and flowers for children and old people to play and relax. 
Finally, the local authorities should limit the cars moving on the street here 
because day by day we are suffering from the deafening sounds and toxic 
exhaust fumes causing negative effects on our health. In short, these 
environmental problems can be dealt with effectively with the contribution of 
both the government and every single individual.
