Unit 7 - Write an opinion essay

The government plans to introduce school on Saturday mornings in order to impove the level of education. In my view, this would have some negative consequences especially for students.

I believe that a minimum or two days a week are necessary. To rest if they put another day to go to school, the students will do a revolution because sometimes we need to disconnect of school and teachers.

I think that the only poitive of this new day of school is that it will help to raise the level of the students.

Cris: Oh, I don't. I prefer to relax on my own.

Adam: We're a bit different then.

Cris: It looks like it, yes.
