1. Topic: Nowadays, many students have the opportunity to study for part or all of their courses in foreign countries. While studying abroad brings many benefits to individual students, it also has a number of disadvantages.                                                                                               Argument: Studying overseas has a number of advantages. For instance, it may give students access to knowledge and facilities such as laboratories and libraries which are not available in their home country. In addition, by looking abroad students may find a wider range of courses than those offered in their country’s universities, and find one which fits more closely to their particular requirements.                    Counter-argument:                                                                                  Refutation:

2. Topic: School children are becoming far too dependent on computers. This is having an alarming effect on reading and writing skills. Teachers need to avoid using computers in the classroom at all costs and go back to teaching basic study skills.                                Argument: One advantage of computers is that access to the Internet has opened up a new world of learning for us. We no longer have to wait for a book that has already been borrowed from the library before we do our research. In fact, the Internet can clearly be used to research information in the same way as a library but more conveniently.

4. Topic: Subjects such as Art, Sport and Music are being dropped from the school curriculum for subjects such as Information Technology. Many children suffer as a result of these changes. To what extent would you support or reject the idea of moving these subjects from school curriculum?                                                                                       Argument: There is one major argument in favour of replacing art, music and sport on the curriculum with subjects like IT. The purpose of school is to prepare children for their working life after school, so the subjects on the curriculum should be relevant to their potential careers. From this point of view, it is much relevant to schoolchildren as they need to be computer literate if they want to survive in the workplace. For example, it is easy to see that word processing and programming skills will impress employers more than the ability to run fast or draw well.

Counter-argument: Some people believe that subjects such as sport, art and music are neccessary to enhance creativity as well as to develop students' well-rounded personality.

we have variety of job scope instead of information technologist only. For, example, we also need artist to draw abstract for our decoration of living room.

Refutation: However, subject like information technology is much more important as it will be use in broad job scope from laboratory to factory with fixed and expensive monthly salary instead of art, sport and music which depend on thedemand of customers.

Counter-argument :  On the other hand, in some line of works, a degree may not be important. This is because, even though a person does not have any degree, but if he started to work early and gain a lot of experiences, he can also easily get a satisfied job and success in the future.
Refutation : However,  all standard necessary skills and comprehensive courses can be taught and practiced effectively only in colleges or universities. All of these points show why a certification is important to obtain especially if we wantto work as  professionals.
