Topic 1: It is much easier to learn in a small class than in a large one.
To what extend do you agree or disagree?



There is an increasingly growing popular idea that we should pay more attention to education. I believe in the truth of the statement that it is much easier to learn in a small class than in a large one. This essay will tackle the most important reasons, considering the advantages of learning in a small class and the disadvantages of learning in a large one.




First and foremost, learning in a small class, students can get more practice because teachers can contact everyone and help them to learn. Then they can learn better.
What is more, in a small class it is not noisy, and students can focus on their learning better. Therefore, they can learn the subjects effectively.
Admittedly, it could also be said that learning in a large class, students easily lose their attention, and they can talk to their friends.


Moreover, teachers have to work harder and they cannot help all the students to practice. As a result, the students learn the subjects worse.
Considering all the arguments put forward, I have arrived at the conclusion that it is much easier to learn in a small class than in a large one. We should keep the considerable number of the students in the class so that students can learn the subjects effectively.



Topic 2: Face-to-face meetings with people are much more effective than meetings held on the phone or via the internet.
To what extend do you agree or disagree?




There is an increasingly growing popular idea that we often hold our meetings to solve the issues in our office/company. I believe in the truth of the statement that face-to-face meetings in our office are much more effective than meetings held on the phone or on the internet. This essay will tackle the most important reasons, considering the advantages of face-to-face meetings and the disadvantages of meetings held on the phone or on the internet.




First and foremost, when we hold face-to-face meetings in our office, we have the following advantages: it is easy for us to understand each other because we hear and we see body language of our co-workers; and the problems can be solved completely.
What is more, face-to-face meetings make us closer to each other, and then we share more ideas and console each other when we are in difficulties.
Admittedly, it could also be said that online meetings may have many disadvantages.




Sometimes there may be some technical problems such as losing wifi, low battery, out of power. Our computer/laptop may be out of order. Even our computer is attacked by some virus.
Considering all the arguments put forward, I have arrived at the conclusion that face-to-face meetings in our office are much more effective than meetings held on the phone or on the internet. Then we can defend the security of our organization/company.








Good luck!
