the attention span of students could only be improved once a complete ban on
smartphones is established at school.
2. I n order to decrease the population sizes of urban areas, we must create
more jobs in rural or remote areas.
ecreasing the population sizes of urban areas could be accomplished effectively if
D
more employment opportunities are made available for people in rural or remote
areas.
reduction in urban areas’ population sizes could be achieved if more jobs are
A
made available for people who live in rural or remote areas.
iven cities attract a lot of people who migrate there for job opportunities, a
G
reduction in their population sizes could only be accomplished once the job
markets in rural and remote areas become more dynamic.
3. I n order to improve the quality of healthcare for senior individuals,
accessibility to insurance must be enhanced.
I mproving the quality of healthcare for senior individuals would necessitate an
enhancement in accessibility to insurance.
4. I n order to create a perfect world, we must have better healthcare and
improve accessibility to it.
reating a perfect world would necessitate improvements in healthcare as well as
C
accessibility to it.
I mproving our world from its current state or perfecting it would require
prominent changes in our healthcare system and giving better accessibility to
ordinary individuals.
5. In order to create a perfect world, we must decrease the crime rate.
reating a perfect version of our world would necessitate a reduction in the
C
current crime rate.
iven the destructiveness of high crime rates in the social welfare of human beings,
G
perfecting our world would inevitably require a massive reduction in crime rate
around the world.
6. In order to alleviate traffic jams, we should ban motorbikes.
lleviating traffic jams could be achieved if a ban on motorbikes is widely
A
established and adopted.
iven the massive number of motorbikes on our streets and how dangerous
G
travelling on them could be, alleviating traffic jams and protecting travellers’ safety
could be concurrently achieved under a total restriction on the use of this
particular vehicle.
7. In order to control your weight, you must exercise.
→ Controlling a person’s weight would require regular exercises.
Given the impact of physical exercises on burning excessive calories and
→
preventing weight gain, weight controlinevitablyrequires enough time allocation
for these activities.
8. In order to protect the environment, we must ban plastic bottles.
rotecting the environment could be achieved if a ban on plastic bottles is
P
established.
iven how persistent and enduring plastic bottles are, the protection of our
G
environment could only be achieved under a total ban of these temporary
containers.
lastic bottles, with the nature of being extremely resilient against any
P
environmental damage, could exist for thousands of years, polluting the
environment and endangering many species. Given these detrimental
characteristics, the goal of protecting and preserving the environment could only
be achieved if a total ban on these temporary containers is established widely
around the world.
9. In order to reduce the rate of traffic accidents, cars must be banned.
educing the rate of traffic accidents could be achieved if cars are banned around
R
the world.

devices are no longer used widely at school.
martphones, while helping people access information around the world and
S
connect with others effortlessly, could simultaneously be a highly distractive device
as they provide overloaded mental stimuli. As a result, enhancing students’
attention span could only be achieved if these devices of potential negative
implications could be banned completely.
📝 Structure 2: Pro & Con
1. A
lthough many medical breakthroughs have revolutionised healthcare,
many people still do not have access to them.
edical breakthroughs, while transcending the landscape of healthcare for the
M
better, still have restrictive boundaries that prevent people’s general accessibility to
them.

D
once over-exertion occurs.
iven that our physical capabilities are limited to an extent, doing physical
G
exercises, while helping improve our fitness, can lead to injuries if over-exertion
occurs.
hysical exercises, similarly to many other activities of human beings, are a
P
double-sworded aspect as they can be beneficial yet posing some drawbacks under
specific conditions. With the physical constraints that every individual experiences,
pushing our bodies through intensive exercises could improve our endurance and
stamina. Nevertheless, once overexertion occurs and our body fails to sustain the
pressure, severe injuries could happen, which detrimentally interrupts our daily
lives.
7. S
ocial media, while helping us enlarge our social circles, can
simultaneously add a superficial quality to our bonds as our mental
capacity is further divided and diluted.

13.Smartphones should be allowed because they help students learn better.
iven the positive impacts of smartphones on the ability of students to gather more
G
information for their lessons, schools should allow these useful devices, which can
eventually improve students’ learning outcomes.
martphones, while providing access to information, can be a distractive tool if
S
students use them incorrectly, and can simultaneously be beneficial if surfing on
the internet for extra knowledge is the primary goal. As a result, using them in
appropriate circumstances at school under the supervision of teachers could
maximise their potential.
14.As people exercise too little, they start gaining weight.
iven how limited the frequency of exercising of modern individuals has become,
G
the potential for weight gain has become more prominent.
I t is of paramount importance that people must exercise regularly to avoid weight
gain, as these activities burn a lot of calories. Nevertheless, our lives have become
burdened with a lot of modern tasks and obligations, making it very hard to assign
enough time for physical exercises. As a result, people’s weight starts
uncontrollably increasing, eventually leading to obesity.
odern work and study environments, while giving people more financial rewards
M
and opportunities to progress, may simultaneously restrict the available time that
people have for physical exercises. Given how important these activities have on
weight control, a lack of them could directly cause the accumulation of excessive
calories, leading to weight gain and eventually obesity.
