I. DNG DISCUSS BOTH VIEWS AND GIVE YOUR OPINION

Some people suggest that the government should do more for their citizens to

have a healthy diet but others claim that it is a responsibility of individuals. Discussboth views and give your opinions. (19/7/2014)

In the era of increasing number of people being diagnosed with intractable diseases due to

unhealthy diets, some people think it should be the responsibility of government to promote

the benefits of lean eating to its citizens; while others say it is the individuals effort that truly

counts. Each view has its own rationale that is worth discussing before drawing my own

personal opinion upon the issue.

It is true that in order to raise the health awareness of the public, extensive coverage on

mass media need to be run. This means that nobody is in a better position to execute those

activities than the government. Nowadays, besides supporting many physical activitycampaigns, governments in some countries have also formed health agencies as part of a

comprehensive strategy to better increase health awareness amongst the society. All of

these activities have ultimately resulted in higher health awareness in the public in a recent

survey. This can only be done with the power and instructions from the governments, thus

their role in this issue is indeed substantial.

However, even if the government has succeeded in popularizing the concept of healthy diet,

it is merely impossible for them to constantly remind each person to live up to it since the

decision is eventually a personal one. In the age of hectic lifestyles and mushrooming fast

food chains across the globe, the question remains whether it is possible for people to resistthe temptation of a hamburger or fried chickens after a long working day. Of course, this

would not have been a problem if eating fast food had also been coupled with frequent

exercises. Sadly, in reality, people are far less willing to do so despite their being conscious

of the health impacts their actions may bring.

In conclusion, it is clear that both sides have legitimate reasons to prove their view. I believe

that governments alone cannot make miracles happen unless each person is also

responsible for their own way of eating and living, thus the responsibility should be shared

between the two parties in promoting and maintaining a healthy diet.

Some people think governments should ban dangerous sports while others thinkpeople should have freedom to do any sports or activity.Discuss both views and give

your own opinion. (9/8/2014)

Due to the hazardous nature of adrenaline sports like sky diving or motocross, some people

are of the opinion that it should be banned by the governments. However, there are still a

majority of the society thinks that everyone has the autonomy to play which sports he or she

likes. Whilst both views have legitimate points to prove, it is worth taking a look at the two

perspectives before drawing my personal conclusion.

To begin with, it is quite straightforward to identify why many people are against dangerous

sports like car racing or cliff diving. It is clearly because there have been more and moreaccidents related to these sports happening to the players over the years. When these

unhappy events occur, they bring grief, sorrow and of course trauma to the families and

friends of the athletes. Understandably, those sports are consequently deemed to be life

threatening and unbeneficial from the perspectives of an outsider. Thus, it goes without

saying that the governments are the body that is in the best position to prohibit these sports

in the eyes of general public.

To the contrary, people who are of the view that it should be up to individuals decision to do

what they want have another path of argument. That is if it was not for their interest and

passion, they will not be willing to take on such risks to excel at the sports. Since it is

personal decision, the consequences should not be escalated to a national level. Besides,

there have been better safety measures to minimize the chance of players being involved in

dismaying incidents. Thus, in this rationale, it is not necessary to get the governments to ban

those sports.

In conclusion, after looking at the issue from both points of view, I am more likely to agree

with the idea that supports personal freedom in choosing whether or not to play such high-

risk sports. After all, it appears to me that it is unreasonable to stop people from doing what

they love.

II. DNG COMBINATION

Many young people who leave school hold a negative attitude towards learning. Why

does this happen? What are the solutions? (24/5/2014)

It is hard to imagine our life without education. Those who plan to enter the world of high

salary are obliged to get qualifications from accredited institutes. However, the recent

research has revealed that graduates become more cynical, egocentric and tend to have a

negative attitude towards learning process. The causes and solutions for this will be outlinedbelow.

In my understanding, the main reason behind such adverse attitude is rooted in parental

high expectations coupled with peer competitiveness. As a result, students are not willing to

share materials with each other, or refuse to give a hand to classmates in fear that this will

prevent them from achieving high marks. Furthermore, learning process at universities is

often rigid, that is, students are given lectures and are expected to understand the material

by themselves. But humans brains perceive information in various ways, and acquiring

knowledge can turn out to be challenging for some. If the latter one is the case, the self-

esteem of young people will consequently fall.

Nevertheless, there is a remedy for everything except death. In order to avoid this hostile

way of thinking towards education, universities should also try to change their usual way of

grading. For example, students should be allowed to earn marks if they participate during

lectures. In that case, they can stand out even if they only ask questions to clarify the

material. Such stimulant will motivate young people to come to classes and become more

curious about their field of study. Additionally, to create a more positive image of education,

teachers must be encouraged to assist students in understanding the lectures. For instance,

they can extend their consultation hours or be more flexible in arranging times.

In conclusion, the negative attitude towards education comes from the overachievingenvironment the graduates live in, and to reduce the pressure from this, institutions should

consider changing their usual way of teaching and be open to assist students in acquiring

knowledge.

An increasing number of people are changing their careers. What are the reasons? Do

you think this is a positive or negative development to society?"

While the majority of people are often satisfied with what they are doing for a living, there is

a rising trend of others changing their careers at some points in their lives. In my view, this

kind of development should be looked at in a positive light owing to its potential contribution

to decrease the unemployment rate.

First of all, it is worth starting from the outset by examining the rationale behind this

increasing trend. It is quite obvious that when it comes to personal preferences, they tend to

change over time. The same logic also goes to career choices meaning people can change

their jobs at any time irrespective of whether external factors play a role in their decisions. In

most cases, people will probably think of a career change once they have experienced and

learned all the necessary skills they need to know in the job. However, dissatisfaction withthe working environment may also be another reason making people quit their original

occupations.

Such drastic decision poses fear and uncertainties to many people as they may suffer from a

long jobless period. However, on the bright side of thing, this trend may result in many job

vacancies within a particular sector giving great chances to graduates or anyone who wants

to set foot into the industry. Thus, it may help reduce youth unemployment and improve a

countrys economy generally. Moreover, a recent study has shown that those who switch

their professions may lead a more fulfilled and happier life after finding another career path

that truly suits them.

In conclusion, following the argument above, I would like to reaffirm my position that this

trend of development is indeed a positive one. It is expected that with many people changing

careers for their own good, the mental wellbeing of the society will be significantly improved
