Comment on the following statement: |
| Technology is an important part of our lives. We use computers and other electronic equipment at work and in the home. However, some people believe we rely too much on machines, and that the more technology improves, the lazier and weaker humans will become. |

What is your opinion? Do you agree with this statement? |

Some people believe that the more advanced and sophisticated our technology becomes, the lazier and weaker we will become, whereas others think that it is not true.
I think there is no need to worry about relying on technology. First of all, they are good helpers of us. Computers and other electronic gadgets make our lives easier, most of what used to require human labor is now completely automated. Secondly, that equipment saves people a lot of time and energy allowing them to do what they truly want.
At the same time there are those who think that technological advances make people lazier. If a person does not have to work at all, they we will just spend their time doing nothing or watching TV, or playing computer games. That is the way how people will become weak and stupid.
I cannot agree with the opinion mentioned above for a particular reason. Some people may indeed choose to be lazy, however, I do not think they would be the majority. Most people prefer staying active regardless of whether they have work or not. These people will get a perfect opportunity to do the things they love instead of doing what they do not like but have to do.
In conclusion, I would like to say that technological progress just gives people more options. What they choose to do with them is everyone’s personal business. Thus, technology is not the reason of people's laziness and weakness. or In conclusion, I would like to say that there are opposing views on this issue. At first sight, technology might seem to weaken people’s health and make them lazier but in actual fact it gives them more options. What one chooses to do with them is their personal business. Thus, technology is not the reason of people's laziness and weakness. |

Comment on the following statement: |
| Some scientists perform experiments on animals. However, some people say that this is cruel and unnecessary. |

What is your opinion? Do you agree with this statement? |

Some people say that performing scientific experiments on animals is cruel and unnecessary, whereas others say it is necessary if it serves a higher purpose.
I think I think that scientists should have experiments on animals to discover new medicines for treating people. First of all, there is also one question people should ask themselves, "Why is an experiment being performed?" If the answer is “to help save human lives in the future”, then in my opinion it justifies the means. Second, it would be even more cruel to experiment on people. I do not believe that anyone would volunteer for this.
At the same time there are people who believe that doing harm to animals is cruel and unnecessary. They believe that people have no moral right to do so and that an animals' lives are as important as human lives.
In my opinion these people have a point. At the same time, I think they allow their emotions to cloud their judgment. Yes, it is cruel to harm animals, but it is also necessary. Most of us would agree that we value human lives above all others. If some animals have to die to potentially save hundreds or thousands of human lives in the future, then, sadly, their lives must be sacrificed.
In conclusion, I would like to say that sometimes in life we have to make hard choices. There is nothing pleasant about killing animals, no matter how justified our reasons for doing so might be. However, I still support the idea that people should use animals in conducting experiments to do the lesser evil for the greater good. or In conclusion, I would like to say that there are opposing views on this issue. Experiments on animals may seem necessary but on the whole such things are cruel to animals. Thus, I still support the idea that people should not use animals in conducting experiments. or In conclusion, I would like to say that there are opposing views on this issue. At first sight experiments on animals may seem necessary but on the whole such things are cruel to animals. Thus, I still support the idea that people should not use animals in conducting experiments. |
