1 Task 2

2 Agree or Disagree Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Music and art should have the same value as other subjects at school such as math and science. Give specific reasons and examples to support your ideas.

3 Take Your Stand Reason1 Reason2 agree Reason1 Reason2 disagree

4 Brainstorming: Agree Build our character Make you a better person Make you more valuable Part of core programs at university Give more career opportunity Task 2

5 Format Topic Sentence: I think music and art should have the same value as other courses. Supporting Details: (1)Music and art are parts of our culture. Example: build character, make you more valuable (2) Music and art are part of some core programs at universities. Example: give students more career opportunities

6 Sample Answer I think music and art should have the same value as other courses. Firstly, they are part of our society. Appreciating music and art can make you well-rounded. On the other hand, if all we studied was math and science, we’d be like robots and never appreciate the beauty of our world. Secondly, studies have shown that people with comprehensive educations are more valuable in the workforce. Many universities now require students to take art or music related classes as their optional course. This gives them some knowledge in many different areas and provides them with flexibility in choosing their careers. For these reasons, I believe art and music should have the same value as other courses.

7 Take Your Stand Reason1 Reason2 agree Reason1 Reason2 disagree

8 Brainstorming: Disagree Won’t help you find a job Not very practical Not fair to untalented people Affect chance of college entrance Affect chance of graduation Task 2

9 Forma t Topic Sentence: I believe music and art shouldn’t have the same value as other courses. Supporting Details: (1)They won’t help a person find a job in the future. Example: no practical application (2) The classes are not fair to untalented people. Example: many people have no talent for music or art

10 Sample Answer I believe art and music shouldn’t have the same value as other courses. First of all, they have no practical use in the real world. Simply put, no one cares if I can play the piano or draw well when I apply for a job, so art and music shouldn’t be considered important classes. Another important thing is that some people have no talent for art and music, so giving grades in these classes is unfair. If a student with little artistic or musical talent got a bad grade in a class, it might affect his chances of getting into college or even graduating from college. Therefore, I think art and music shouldn’t have the same value as other courses.
