Read the following opinion essay and list the viewpoints and reasons.
Is it a good idea for students not to wear a uniform? While
9 abolishing school uniforms allows for freedom of expression and individuality, I believe that uniforms are very important in a number of ways.
Firstly, school uniforms make it easy for students to dress every morning. Teenagers do not have to spend countless hours searching for something to wear. Moreover, even though uniforms are initially quite expensive, they save parents lots of money in the long run because they do not have to buy their children the latest trends. In addition to this, wearing the same clothes makes children from different economic backgrounds feel equal.
On the other hand, many students argue that a uniform prevents them from expressing themselves and revealing their personality through their clothing. Also, some children state that they do not feel comfortable in uniforms. For instance, they dislike the look or the cut. Despite this, many still find ways of adjusting their uniforms to their liking, by rolling up their sleeves or flipping up their collars for example.
In conclusion, I strongly believe that uniforms are important for displaying unity and give children a sense Of loyalty to their school. School uniforms do not hurt students' individuality or need for self-expression. Many schools have a choice of uniforms, so teenagers can express themselves in a small way. For me, school uniforms play a valuable part in school life as they help build school spirit and introduce a feeling of belonging.

Have you ever realised how damaging it can be to a chilcfi self-esteem when their parents scold them every time they do something wrong? In my view, parents get angry too quickly. I think parents should try to use humour not criticism to discipline their children. |
In conclusion, I strongly believe that it is wrong to destroy our forests and that it is up to governments to protect them from being cut down by logging companies. After all, not only do they provide homes for numerous animal species but they help clean the air we breathe.

5 To conclude: |
In the first place, people have always enjoyed going to the theatre. They feel it connects them to other times and places and helps them see the realities of life through comic or tragic situations. As Stella Adler, an American actress, once said, The word theatre comes from the Greeks. It means 'the seeing place". It is the place people come to see the truth about life and the social situation.

Read the text, then choose A, B, C or D for each 
question
(1-7).
I In paragraph I, we learn that
A children cannot be charged with a crime. B child crime is worse in England than in Belgium.
C children are not prosecuted in the USA.
D a IO•year-oId criminal will face different treatment in the UK than in Belgium.
2 In paragraph 2, what do we learn about the age of criminal responsibility?
A It causes a lot of fighting between countries.
B It is meant to be the age when children know if what they do is right or wrong. C It should be the same in every country.
D It lets children know there is a difference between right and wrong.
3 Setting an age for criminal responsibility is hard because
A the law is very complicated.
B difficult
questions must be answered.
C children
cannot predict their actions. D children are naturally naughty.
4 In
countries where the age of criminal 
responsibility is tow,
A most
people want it to be higher.
B many
people are happy it is low.
C children
mature faster.
D adult
prisons are full of children. 
5 
People
who support a low age of criminal 
responsibility do so because 
A children
are responsible at a young age.
B crime
might increase if it is raised. 
C children
think committing a crime is funny.
D the law
isn't taken seriously by children.
6 In medieval England,
A serious crimes were rare.
B stealing animals was a common crime.
C children faced the same punishments as adults.
D child crime was a very big problem.
criminal responsibility', varies considerably. For example, in England, children are considered responsible for all illegal acts once they reach the age of 10. In Belgium, individuals are 18 before they reach the age of criminal responsibility. In the USA. it is up to a judge to
decide whether or not a child can be held responsible for a crime,
How is an 'age of criminal responsibility' decided? Well, roughly speaking, it is taken to be the age when a child knows the difference between right and wrong. Every country agrees that children are not capable of understanding the difference between right and wrong below a certain age. But they strongly disagree on what this age is.
Pinpointing the age at which children have learnt the difference between right and wrong is difficult. For example, how old are children when they understand that something is seriously wrong as opposed to simply naughty? Moreover, how old are children when they are able to understand the consequences of their actions? This is important because the law states that a person must understand the possible consequences of an action in orderto be held responsible for it
In countries like England where the age of criminal responsibility is low, many people argue that it should be raised. They point out that it does not make sense to say that a child is mature enough to be put into an adult prison at the age of 10, but is not mature enough to drive, marry or vote for another 8 years.
By contrast, people who want the age of criminal responsiblTrty to stay low say that raising the age would lead to higher levels of crime. They also argue that a low age of criminal responsibility makes children realise that commiffig a crime is a serious offence.
Historically, one of the main reasons for introducing an age of criminal responsibility was that severe penalties were handed out for even the smallest of crimes. In medieval England for instance, a person could be hanged for stealing a sheep. As children were also treated in the same harsh way as adults when they broke the law, it was thought necessary to protect them from inappropriate punishments
Today, even in countries with a low age of criminal responsibility, it is rare fora child to be tried in an adult court. What is more, a child found guitty of a crime will rarely be sent to an adult prison. Most countries have realised that if a child goes to an adult prison and mixes with adutt criminals, not only will he be physically unsafe, but he will likely leave prison with an increased criminal knowledge, And the aim of most countries is to try to turn a child away from a life of crime.
7 Today, most child criminals
A can expect authorities to attempt to rehabilitate them.
B can expect to be tried as adults in courts. C are typically not found guilty.
D develop their criminal behaviour from adults.

(1-6) with the phrases (A-G). There is one phrase that you do not need to use.
A who had achieved fame merely because they had done something memorable on reality television
B that will become famous for no particular reason
C and
even fewer will achieve longlasting fame
D since aiming high and having great dreams can push a child to succeed
E who dream of fame and fortune
F and
see that they have not achieved their fame because of any accomplishment
G who believe that fame is not only easy to achieve
UK kids say:
Ask kids in Britain what they want to be when they grow up and many Will give the same reply: want to be famous!" That, at least. is the finding of a recent survey in the UK which suggests that the cult of the celebrity in Britain has reached such a level that traditional childhood drearns of becoming a pilot, an astronaut, or a ballerina, have been firmly replaced by the desire to become a celebrity.
Of course there is nothing new in childhood dreams of fame. Young children have always wanted to be superheroes, princesses, and rock stars. Nor, indeed. is there anything wrong with children dreaming of fame and fortune I)
The problem today lies in British children's perceptions of the accessibility of fame, The rise of a new type of celebrity In the UK — one who has achieved fame, fortune and influence without doing anything of importance — has created a generation of children 2) it Is something that can be got for nothing.
Reality TV shows (such as Big Brother) are partly responsible for the rise In this new genre of British In the earty 20s. reality TV saw an explosion in populariþ/ In the UK. Magazine covers in Britain became dominated by men and women Such was the media coverage afforded to these reality TV Stars that by 2007, according to one survey. one In seven UK teenagers were hoping to achieve fame by appearing on a reality TV show.
Of course, of the hundreds of thousands of people 4) few actually achieve it. Teachers in Britain worry that the ease with whiCh reality show contestants find fame fails to get ttü message acros to children.
British teachers are also very concerned that the obsession with celebrity is affecting both children's attitudes to study and their career aspirations. Children look at celebrities today 5) . . Thus. they begin to see education as unnecessary for achieving success In life.
It is very important not to fall into the trap of believing the path to fame and fortune is easy. If it was, everyone would be rich and famousl Very few people will achieve fame from appearing on reality IV, 6) . . Still, the good news for kids today is that regardless of whether or not they achieve fame, there are more job options open to them than ever before. Most kids can still grow up to be anything they want to be!

With its cold climate, England would seem a 1) bad choice for a water sports holiday. However, the North Devon coast is home to a 2) lively surfing community due to the 3) strong waves coming in from the Atlantic. Croyde Bay is one of the main draws because its beach break waves - the best kind for beginners - are as good as can be found anywhere.
As surfing has become more popular, a variety of shops and services have sprung up in the area. Surfing schools Offer lessons for beginners through to experts. Shops provide all the equipment and gear one could possibly need. Accommodation is 4) cheap and plentiful, with many visitors preferring B&Bs (Bed and Breakfast) to hotels.
After a long day of riding the waves in the 5) cold sea, many choose to unwind by frequenting the restaurants and bars in Croyde and Woolacombe. Evening is the 6) best time to share the day's adventures and to relax with friends.
Overall, Devon offers 7) a fun and close-to-home alternative for those surfers who would normally expect to board a long-haul flight in search of 8) large waves.
