Governments around the world spend money on research. Two areas of research that I feel deserve government investment are green energy and human eating habits. （25）
Our dependency on fossil fuels and other traditional energy sources has caused pollution and contributed to global warming. It has also had an effect on how different countries in the world work together as importers and exporters of oil and other fuels. So it is vital that governments fund research to develop other sources of energy, which are more environmentally friendly and can satisfy our growing needs for energy.(94)
Another area of research which deserves government investment is people's eating habits. Governments have an interest in promoting good public health and part of this is knowing what food we need for good health. Nowadays, many people claim to be nutrition experts, when in fact their claims are not backed up by reliable research. There are many short-lived diets as well, which may cause more harm than good. The general public would trust research funded by the government, which could provide trustworthy information about eating habits. (86)
While both of these areas of research are essential, in my opinion it is more important for governments to spend money on energy research. At the moment, there is plenty of information available for people to be reasonably healthy and poor public health is perhaps due to people's lifestyle issues rather than a lack of research. However, alternative green sources of energy need to be researched and developed, and so it is crucial for governments to support this. (78)

Having an interest in science is important because it explains the world around us. So what can be done to encourage people to be more interested in science? I think that good science lessons at school and internet posts about science are both effective ways of achieving that aim.(49)
Many people are, unfortunately, put off science at school due to a variety of factors. One factor may be the way they were taught, with an emphasis on memorising facts, as opposed to coming to grips with its exciting possibilities. Or science may not have been considered a "cool" subject to study in their school. With up-to-date and effective teaching methods and enthusiastic teaching, these battiers can be overcome.(69)
However, there still may be people who do not engage with science at school. If this is the case, those people may one day find an interesting post on the internet that gets them thinking about science with enthusiasm. NOwadays, leading scientists and talented bloggers create content for the internet that makes difficult concepts understandable and intriguing to the general public. THis content may be expensive to produce, however, and needs to compete in a crowded market - the entertainment market.(80)
I feel that of these two ways, the best way is to engage young minds with the fascinating topic of science through interesting school lessons. IF people have an understanding of science from a young age, they can develop that appreciation for the rest of their lives.(47)

Learning about another culture is very important in today'S society nad here are possibly more ways to do this than ever before. I would like to discuss visiting a place in person to learn about a culture and taking a course.(41)
First, while seeing a culture and experiencing it first-hand can be invaluable, this depends on the type of visit. For instance, a quick weekend in the capital city of a country might give a hint of what life is like and the forces that shaped that city, but it would not provide a deep understanding of the reality of living there, nor would it explain the history of the culture. However, if someone has an opportunity to spend longer in a place, perhaps studying or doing some voluntary work, this will definitely provide a chance to develop a better understanding of its culture.(103)
Some people prefer to learn about a culture by signing up for a course. A good course, and a good teacher, can give an overview of the history of a culture. HOwever, the risk of any course is that the teacher may present material in a dull fashion, or tha tit may be biased or only informed by the teacher's point of view. Also, it may not focus on the aspects of the culture that most interest you.(78)
Overall, I would say that the most effective way to learn about a culture is to visit it yourself, as long as the visit is substantial enough and there is some effort made to interact with local people.(38)

Choosing a college course is one of the biggest decisions that a young person might make, and many factors will influence that choice. While it is wise to consider a variety of factors, cost and the reputation of the course are two matters which deserve particular consideration. (47)
There is no doubt that the cost of college courses is on the rise in my country. Many students go into debt in order to study at college level. Even though grants are available, the competition for them is very tough and not every deserving student receives one. However, a college degree is indispensable for jobs in many fields, expense, or an investment. Some students often get part-time jobs while they study and this is a way of getting some valuable work experience.(83)
The reputation of the course iss also worth considering. This is because courses build a reputation for quality over many years and this gives you some assurance that you have chosen a well-run course. Of course, some new courses may actually be very good and you might be pleasantly surprised by the quality. However, future emp;lloyers will be more impressed with you if you have a degree from a top college. This ill, in the end, bring you many benefits.(81)
Therefore, I think that overall it is more important to prioritise getting the best degree you can from a course with the best reputation possible.(25)

There are many qualities that contribute to people having a successful life. The ones that I would like to discuss are ambition and honesty.(24)
For many people, ambition is the key to their success. Having clear goals and plans to achieve them gives motivation and direction to people. this can help when choosing a career path. For example, if your ambition is to be very wealthy, then you might decide to study a subject that leads to a well-paid profession. HOwever, that is not always the case. Many famous billionaires gave pu on their education in order to start a business.. The key here is to be determined to follow your ambition.(88)
Of course, everyone can decide for themselves that the definition of a successful life is. For some, it will be having a lot of money or material possessions, but for me, success in life should be judged by the quality of the relationships that people develop over their lives. And in order to develop strong re;ationships, people need to have honesty and strong principles. I personally do not consider people who build their wealth on dishonesty or immoral practices to be "successful".(83)
An ambitious person without honesty may be tempted to push themselves forward at the expense of others, which is not fair. Therefore, it is my opinion that honesty is more important than ambition to consider oneself successful in life.(39)

Many people these days are not as active as they should be and this is having a big effect on their health. Taking part in sport is one way to counteract the inactive lifestyles that many of us lead. WHich factors might influence people's decision to take part in sport? I would like to discuss education and facilities.
One way is certainly through education. Young people can be taught about the health risks of inactivity and all the benefits that taking part in sport can bring to people. They can also be taught and given the opportunity to practise the skills needed to participate in a variety of different sports.
However, many young people are actually turned off sport at school if they are not particularly good at it. For this reason, I would argue that the best way to motivate people is through having really good facilities. THis means that they should be up to date, accessible to everyone and affordable. People who are good at sport don't generally require extra encouragement to increase their participation, but access to high-quality facilities would make taking part in sport more appealing for those people who do need motivation. For example, no one really wants to swim in a small, dark pool, but one that is pleasant and spacious would definitely be more tempting to the reluctant swimmer.
Therefore, I believe that good facilities would motivate people to take part in sport more effectively.

Dear students,
目的
I'n writing to tell you about a new idea to improve the college's website and to invite you to consider participating.
現況説明
At the moment, our website is quite good for factual information, but it lacks a personal touch. This is where you can get involved! We have a plan to include short videos of current students talking about aspects of college life.
理由
This idea behind this is to give visitors to the website a real taste of college life, in an authentic and friendly way. If you have a positive college experience that you'd like to share on the website, we want to hear from you or perhaps you could help by being involved with the actual filming and uploading of the videos. We need people to direct and edit them as well. Just get in touch with the students' union office to indicate your interest.
利益
We think this will really benefit the college. Having an updated website is important, as most people first find out about the college through the internet. We think that having videos of people like you will help interested students get a feel for what the college is really like. If you get involved, you can use your skills in a creative way. You will also receive an official acknowledgement of your contribution on the college website, which you can list on your CV.
まとめ文
Getting involved is easy - simply contact the students' union office for more details and to register your interest.
挨拶
Best wishes, Marco Rossi (249)

Thanks for getting in touch! I'm really glad to hear that you're enjoying college. But there's a lot to learn, and not just in your classes. It can be really hard to learn how to manage your money and make ends meet.
１つ目の提案
As for advice, here are a few things that I do to manage my money that you may want to try. First, I set a weekly budget for all the things I need to spend money on. For me, that's mainly food and drink, transport, nad entertainment. Then I also try to save a little money each week because it's very useful to have a sum set aside for unforeseen expenses.
2つめの提案
There are various ways you can save money. You should look for places where you can buy your books second-hand, or consider whether you need to buy them at all, as you might be able to borrow the ones you need from the university library. definitely be careful with your shopping and make use of any discounts that are available for college students.
それに基づいた具体的な助言
I'd really only recommend taking a part-time job if it doesn't interfere with your studies in any way. As a new college student, you have enough to get to grips with! However, if a good job comes up that will give you useful skills as well as a bit of extra spending money, you might give it a try.
挨拶
Good luck and all the best, Alison.（244）

Dear Ms. Taylor,
目的
I'm writing to you because I'm interested in the opportunity to do a placement in another city.
現状説明と課題
My current role involves developing software to improve internet security for a variety of customers. While I am based in London, I have been working closely with a tham that is based in Rome, Italy. There is only one hour of time difference between us, so it is easy enough to conduct meetings using internet conferencing. However, I would provide the opportunity to spend some time in Rome with the team. I think this would strengthen our working relationship much more than working at a distance can.
理由
For me, this would provide the opportunity to experience how another branch of our organisation works and to gain an appreciation for working in a different place.
利益①
My Italian is quite basic, which might be a problem socially, but most of our work is conducted in English. I am studying Italian online and would be more than willing to take an evening course before the placement begins.
利益②
I also believe that we would be able to make much quicker and better progress on the project we are currently working on, which would benefit the organisation. This team and I have also discussed ways we could develop the work we're doing for different markets. If we were working more closely, I believe we could progress with that work more effectively.
まとめ文
Thank you for considering my application for the placement.
Sincerely,
Joanna Simpton

Quizzes for You app
結論（イントロ）
As a college student studying engineering, I use a number of apps to help me. The phone app Quizzes for You is my favourite at the moment. The app allows you to input information that you need to learn, which could be formulas, procedures or any facts and figures. Then it takes all that information and converts it into a variety of quizzes. This means that you can test yourself and see what you know well and what you need to revise more. It keeps a score for you and lets you go back to any quizzes you want and try again.
理由
I would recommend this app to any student who, like me, has a lot of factual information to learn. Just putting the information into the app is an excellent form of revision. Then, given that you nearly always have your phone with you, the potential to revise is always at hand. YOu can take short quizzes at any time, such as when you are on the bus or waiting for an appointment, so it puts time that might otherwise be wasted to good use. The app has been an extremely useful tool for me in the last year.
根拠（まとめ）
In my experience, the app is not very complicated to use, but I do think the developers could make it more user-friendly. I had to read the instructions a number of times, but not everyone would do that. If there were more interactive instructions or samples, that would be an improvement.(255)

導入（結論）
Do you love listening to music as much as I do? If you do, then you won't be surprised to find out that I have tried quite a few paid music streaming services. There are many competing services available at the moment, and many offer short-term free trials, so you can sample what they have to offer. At the moment, I am using Firefly and am really enjoying its features and functions.
理由①長所
First, the strengths. The main thing is the vast music library that is available. This even includes a few artists who share their music only on Firefly. Also, in my opinion, the interface is easier than most others to use and attractive as well. Like many other services, Firefly allows subscribers to download tracks to listen to offline, which I think is great for times when Wifi is not available.
理由②短所
The main weakness I have found is the way that Firefly "suggest" music for me to try based on what I have already listened to. I find that this leads me to be always listening to the same sort of artists, when what I really want to do is explore that vast library they have.
総合（まとめ文）
Firefly is available at two different subscription rates. I think the lower rate provides surprisingly good value for money, but you have to be prepared to listen to ads between tracks of music every now and then. While the higher rate is ad-free, it is quite a bit more expensive.

I would like to propose two ways in which we could celebrate our company's great success this year.
ひとつめの提案
First, I'd like to propose that we have a party. It would be a reallyl enjoyable and relaxed way to acknowledge the success we have had. At the party, there could be a time for recognising the particular contributions that different individuals and teams have made to the overall company success. The staff would benefit from having some "downtime" together and also from focusing on what we've done well. the company could benefit from the good feeling this would generate.
ふたつめの提案
Another suggestion I'D like to propose is that we, as a company, take an afternoon off and get involved in some sort of community project. We are lucky enough to be located quite close to the beautiful Tyrella beach so I propose that we could participate in a beach clean up day there. I have done this myself and it is a great way for our company to give back to the community we are a part of, and also it would allow us to spend time together doing something other than work and to get to know each other better. It would help us build stronger teams within the company.
総合（結論）
Either of these ideas would be very attractive to staff, but if only one can be implemented, I think we should have a party, as it is more of a celebration. We could look at a community project another time.

Proposal for an education trip to the Museum of Modern Art
I would like to propose that my Art class should be funded to take a trip to the Museum of Modern Art. The museum can be reached by train from the local station in just under two hours, so the trip can take place within one school day.
While books and the internet provide a chance to become familiar with the collection of the museum, there is nothing that can substitute for seeing works of art first hand. Without visiting the museum, it is nearly impossible to appreciate the size and impact of the works of art it contains. As Art students, we need to spend time studying art and experiencing it in its original form.
It will also be beneficial for us to see the museum as a place of work, as many of us will be completing our studies in the near future. IT is important to see that museums function as workplaces for many people, as well as housing irreplaceable collections of art. In fact, we would hope to see "behind the scenes" of the museum, where the curators work. THis would be very motivating for us.
While at the museum, we would sketch some of the works and would be delighted to create a display of our work for other students to see. A few other students and I would also be happy to make a short presentation of our trip to the student body. (251)

Proposal for increasing shipping in the town centre
This is in response to the town council's request for proposals to deal with the decrease in shopping in the town centre.
Reasons for the decrease
There is a general trend towards internet shopping and away from making purchases in physical shops. Further, a new out-of-town shopping center has opened up, which is popular with people from the town.
Impact on the town center
As a result, the town center is a less welcoming place for people, as there are a lot of empty shops and, consequently, fewer reasons for people to visit.
Suggestions for increasing town center shopping
There is little that the town council can do about internet shopping. Individual shops may be able to combine their online sales better with their in-0store offer, but that is for them to consider. HOwever, there are several things the town council can do to help the shops in the town
First, parking in the town center is expensive. WHile public transport is a good option, people who are planning to shop will often want to drive if you have a lot of purchases to make. For this reason, I would recommend reducing the cost of parking in the town center shopping area.
In addition, the current regulations require town center shops to close at 6 p.m. , whereas the new shopping centre is open until 10. Town center shops should be allowed to stay open later. These measures should help the town center shops to become more competitive and bring back customers.

Work experience proposal
This proposal is for an element of work experience to be included in the college's Business Studies course.
The course
I am currently enrolled in the two-year Business Studies course. The work we do in the college provides an excellent background for understanding how businesses function. Our instructors all have a background in business, which they use to inform their lectures with examples from their real-life experiences.
Benefits of a work experience element
Many of us on the course feel that our learning would be improved if we could spend a @eriond of time doing work experience in a business environment. A number of us have done part-time jobs, but these are generally jobs that are low-skilled and, while it is good to have the experience, it doesn't develop our skills in the same way that a work placement would. Such a placement would allow us to put our knowledge in to practice and build confidence, which, in turn, would further motivate us in our studies. It could also help us to make useful contacts and could provide us with a welcome addition to our CVx.
Recommendation
I would suggest that the college contacts local businesses to set up work experience placements that support the studies we do. I think that a short placement could take place during term breaks, or else longer ones could take place over the longer summer break. Some students may even be willing to extend the course by a term because work experience is so valuable for us.

Public speaking course
This report describes the course I attended last week to develop my public speaking skills. Overall, I feel that the course was successful.
Description
The course was at a local training center and took place over two working days. There was a small number of attendees(8) and the focus of the two days was on developing confidence in public speaking. THe course ended with each of us giving a presentation to the group. The trainer was very well prepared and the day was both useful and enjoyable.
Evaluation
Having a small group was a definite advantage to the course, as each of us got plenty of time to practice and to receive one-on-one coaching from the trainer. Over the two days. We were given a good overview of the b basic principles of speaking in front of a group, including body language, voice projection, maintaining eny contact and using visual aids to good effect. Technology was used to good effect.
One weakness of the course was the venue. The room was quite small and did not provide enough space. It never felt as if we were giving a proper presentation , but only a talk among friends.
Recommendation
In my opinion, the course was too basic for anyone who is already fairly confident at public speaking, but I would certainly recommend it for people who have only had limited training or experience in public speaking.(237)
