Q: Some people think that they can learn better by themselves than with a teacher. Others think that it is always better to have a teacher. Which do you prefer? Use specific reasons to develop your essay.

A: I think learning by themselves is much better than by a teacher. The reason I am saying this is if I learn by myself, I can stop whenever I want. I am a type of person who is unable to continue listening to a teacher until the end of a lecture if there is something unclear during the lecture. If I learn by myself, I can turn to a textbook or encyclopedia even when I bump into the point which I can’t understand, It looks like this way of learning takes much longer than learning by a teacher but this is not true, I believe. In the end, it takes much less time to master, or perfectly understand the subject if you can understand each step one by one even though you spend some time checking or researching in the middle, because this way of learning process could give you the whole picture of what you learn and avoid stopping to learn again and again.

Q: It has recently been announced that a new restaurant may be built in your neighborhood. Do you support or oppose this plan? Why? Use specific reasons and details and examples in your answer.

A: I definitely oppose to this plan. The biggest reason is that restaurant is sure to have a bad impact on our environment. A restaurant would throw out a lot of food that haven’t been consumed. So naturally, there will be lots of waste around the restaurant, which would attract many insects and birds, turning roads and passways around the restaurant into a total mess, which is bad. Also, a restaurants tends to open until late at night. It would probably be the place where many young people flock to, which will make noisy sound, causing many people not to sleep well. Restaurant is not a welcome addition to my town.
