An opinion essay!
Should that the government introduce school on Saturday mornings?
The government's planning to introduce a new law which will mean that students go to school on Saturday morning in order to improve the level of education. In my opinion, this would have some negative consequences.
In the first place, I believe that the students won't study much, because they'll become more tired and bored of both work. The teachers will have to go to school, and they must prepare more work for students. I think that the teachers haven't got more time, but they're have more job. As a consequence the teachers will have more problems with students.
In conclusion, I disagree with that law. There must be a better alternative. If they introduce Saturdays in school, people don't be motivated for school and they become bored.
WRITING: WRITE ABOUT AN EXPERIENCE
This time last year, things weren’t going too well for me. My best friend is moving to the USA and I’d also had a big argument with my cousin. Friends invited me out, but I didn’t really want to see them. I spent a lot of time training roller skaiting.
Everything changed for me the day I saw a programme about the professional girl, who do classes of roller skaiting in Barcelona. I became much optimistic and enthusiastic. My friends made me realize that I should be a bit more positive. I found out that sportsters in my town were training with a professional girl too, so I started to go in it.
These days, I feel much happier. I feel more sociable and useful. If I hadn’t seen the programme, I’d never have had the opportunity.
