Selected / Suggested Answers Model Essay pp. 1-2 (your answer might vary) These days, the internet is an important part of our world. Because of this, many universities have courses that students can study online, so those students do not have to go to classes. I believe that more university courses should be available on the internet. The following essay will explain my reasons for this view. The most important reason why universities should put more courses online is that students can learn in their own time. Some students live far away, and other students are working during the day, so they do not have time to attend regular classes. If courses are online, these students can study at night over the internet. As a result, more people can now study at university and get degrees. Therefore, if universities have more courses online, they will be able to help more students to improve their lives. Another reason is that both the universities and their students can save money. This is because universities do not need to have buildings for classrooms, and students do not have to pay for transport or accommodation near their university. For example, many students spend money on driving to university every day. However, if they can study from home, they don’t need to spend that money. In conclusion, there are two reasons why I believe that universities ought to increase the number of distance learning courses. Firstly, people who work or who do not live near a university will be able to study online. Secondly, distance learning courses are cheaper for students and for universities. I advise all students to try an online course. p 7 - Answers *background & importance *exam topic *opinion *BPsIntroduction 1) These days, the internet is an important part of our world. 2) Because of this, many universities have courses that students can study online, so those students do not have to go to classes. 3) I believe that more university courses should be available on the internet. 4) The following essay will explain my reasons for this view.1) Background / ImportanceThese days…Everyone knows….2) Exam topicSome people believe 3) opinion4) plan (BPs)* Explain/Example * Explanation * Topic sentence * Result/CS Body Paragraph 1 5) The most important reason why universities should put more courses online is that students can learn in their own time. 6) Some students live far away, and other students are working during the day, so they do not have time to attend regular classes. 7) If courses are online, these students can study at night over the internet. 8) Therefore, if universities have more courses online, more students can improve their lives with education.5) TS – reason #16) Explain – This is becauseThis means…. 7) For example, …….

Some people think / believe / say that university students should play / take / do sports as part of their university program. I agree that physical education is very important for all students. In this essay, I will give / discuss / explain / present the two key reasons for my opinion.Body 1 – singular or plural? The first major reason is that exercise gives the body energy. Students / student spend a lot of time studying, sitting in class, and doing projects / project. Because of this, they should also do something active, so that they don’t spend all of their time sitting. If the students have to take a course / courses like physical education, they will have more energy and more students / student will succeed in university.Body 2 – Use modals (will, should, have to can)Another important reason is that sports are fun. Studying can sometimes be boring. Every day, students have the same routine. They have to sit in a chair all day, without moving. However, sports can change their routine. A sports class will give the students a new activity to do. Furthermore, studying is very stressful. If students have fun, they can relax and forget all their projects and assignments for a few hours. If physical fitness is part of a university program, students will enjoy studying more.Conclusion – Linking word and connecting word – because – and – In conclusion,In conclusion, I agree that university students should play sports as part of their university program because they will enjoy their time and they will have more energy.****************************************Practice with linking words & connectors Sports in the University - By Ahmed Al TalibPractice #1: Complete the Intro + Body 1 with these words:Exercise is important for everyone’s health. Some people think that sports should be part of a university program. I disagree. There are two main reasons for my opinion.The first reason is that there is not enough time in students’ schedules. This is because students must take many subjects in university. For example they have to take Math, English, Arabic, and IT courses. In addition they take courses for their majors. Each class takes two hours, and students must also study and do homework and projects. If students have to take a sports class, they will not have time for their important courses.Practice #2 Body 2 + ConclusionThe second reason for my opinion is that some female students are not allowed to play sports. This is because their families are very traditional, they believe that sports are for men, not women. Moreover, they don’t want their daughters to wear t-shirts or shorts in public. If these students refuse to play sports, they will not be able to continue their education. This is not fair. Education is too important for these women. If they have to take sports classes, they will lose their education.In summary, sports should not be part of the university program because students do not have time, and this may cause problems for female students. The University should focus on academics only.Questions: What is Halima’s opinion? She agreesWhy does she think this? Exercise gives the body energy & Exercise is funDoes Ahmed agree with her?
