Предисловие

Успешная сдача Единого Государственного Экзамена – ключ к поступлению в высшее учебное заведение Вашей мечты. Именно поэтому, чтобы воплотить свои заветные мечтания в реальность, Вам необходимо упорно и целенаправленно к нему готовиться. Очевидно, что подходить к процессу подготовки нужно ответственно, с полной отдачей, а также осознанием того, что от Вас требует структура экзамена и какими навыками и знаниями необходимо обладать, чтобы успешно справиться с ним.

Задание №40 является заданием высокого уровня сложности и требует хорошо развитых как предметных, так и метапредметных умений и навыков. Несомненно, экзаменуемый должен не только иметь богатый словарный запас и знать правила грамматики, но и обладать широким кругозором, чтобы приводить различные точки зрения на определённую проблему, а также аргументировать их.

Ценность этой книги заключается в том, что в ней представлены эссе на темы из разных сфер жизнедеятельности, в которых чётко и правильно подобраны аргументы/контраргументы к ним.

В связи с тем, что во время учебного года я писала эти эссе «для себя», чтобы потренироваться и «набить руку», а не для того чтобы напечатать книгу, все они были внимательно и тщательно проверены и исправлены моим преподавателем Кутьиной Ольгой Геннадьевной, которой я очень благодарна.

При внимательном и осознанном чтении Вы узнаете простые, легко запоминающиеся клише, выучите новую лексику и новые грамматические связки. Более того, этот сборник поможет Вам расширить Ваш кругозор и взглянуть на некоторые социальные, экономические, политические и духовные проблемы под совершенно другим углом. Ваше сознание станет более гибким, что поможет Вам лучше и понятнее формулировать и излагать свои мысли, идеи при написании подобных работ.

Также, хотелось бы добавить, что ЕГЭ – действительно всего лишь одно из жизненных испытаний, которое реально преодолеть. Главное – чётко определить для себя цели и постоянно напоминать себе о них, когда хочется опустить руки. Поверьте, игра стоит свеч.

Удачи!

Boys and girls should study separately at different schools

Undoubtedly, education plays a crucial role in the existence of the society. Currently the majority of schools are co-educational.

I totally disagree with the statement above. I strongly believe that studying together is extremely necessary for individuals. Firstly, the world is not separated for males and females. In the childhood people tend to be less vulnerable to failures in relations. In consequence at school they learn how to socialise with another sex, which assists them in avoiding social mistakes in the future. Secondly, while studying together pupils may find out some psychological features of another gender. Finally, contradictions between boys and girls motivate both to study harder in order to be better than another sex.

Nevertheless, there is another point of view on this issue. Some conservatives claim that productivity and efficiency of getting education will increase, if pupils are taught separately. Psychologists have already proved that boys have natural abilities to technical subjects, while girls are likely to be skilled at mastering humanities. Subsequently, co-educational schools do not have individual approach to students depending on their gender. Moreover, passion and affection seem to distract pupils from studying.

However, I still insist on my opinion. It surely goes without saying that love improves personalities on the ground that they are eager for being better to please a partner. So, they study harder.

In conclusion, I would like to stress once more that under no circumstances should pupils be diminished an opportunity to study together. If schools were not co-educational, the majority of people would not be able to communicate with another gender.

A man that does not know the history of his/her country is like a leaf that is not aware of being a part of a tree

It is common knowledge that a person is a citizen of that country where s/he was born. Under some circumstances one can change a citizenship or have a double one. Undoubtedly, a person considers himself/herself to be a citizen of that country where his/her heart is.

I totally agree with the statement above that a person ought not to be ignorant of the history of his/her motherland. Firstly, if a resident has no knowledge of the history of his/her native country, s/he will not take part in historic festivals, where people become mentally united. Secondly, being unaware of the events of the past, a citizen cannot keep up a conservation with compatriots. Finally, griefs, sorrows and failures have always been consolidating nations. If a person has no idea about mistakes of his/her ancestors, s/he does not have any patriotic feelings.

Nevertheless, there is another point of view on this issue. Some people claim that it is senseless to learn the history of the motherland. Present is much more significant that the past. Moreover, interactions with other citizens may bring a person a feeling of felicity and patriotism.

However, I still insist on my opinion. It is usually said that history repeats itself. In consequence a citizen ought to be good at national history in order to prevent his/her motherland from the same disastrous mistakes in the future.

In conclusion, I would like to stress once more that under no circumstances should a person ignore the life of his/her ancestors. If the humanity did not rely on the history, the world would turn into chaos.

Having a computer at home will allow children to have better education

Undoubtedly, education plays a vital role in the fortune of a personality, that is why teenagers are made to study hard. It will not be an exaggeration to claim that the majority of parents do their best to provide their offsprings with everything they need for getting education, for instance, personal computer.

I totally agree with the statement above that installing a computer improves productivity of studying. Firstly, computers are considered to have connection to the Internet. In subsequence, it is thought to give a user an access to dozens of virtual libraries, where new knowledge may be obtained. Secondly, a system of online tutoring has already been developed. So, students from remote and rural areas may have lessons with renowned and qualificated teachers. Finally, films and books in the original may be downloaded from the Net, with the help of which foreign language skills can be mastered.

Nevertheless, there is another point of view on this issue. Some conservators claim that a computer will lessen a wish to learn as there are a lot of things to be distracted by. For instance, some pupils become addicted to playing computer games and stop doing homework. Moreover, students seem to be devoured with interacting and communicating with peers via social networks.

However, I still insist on my opinion. Time spent on playing computer games can be limited by parents with the help of computer settings. So, a pupil has more time on studying.

In conclusion, I would like to stress once more that under no circumstances should parents ignore installing a computer. If everything is controlled by adults, the process of getting education becomes more efficient.

Billions of dollars are spent on space exploration projects annually. Some people believe that this money should be used to solve problems on Earth

It will not be an exaggeration to claim that in the epoch of technologies a lot of money is allocated to exploring the space, while the humanity is still facing an innumerable host of social and economic problems.

I totally agree with the statement above that before travelling to other planets all problems on your own one should be solved. Firstly, millions of residents tend to live below the poverty line. Some money ought to be spent to decrease the number of people in need. Secondly, currently there are a lot of endangered animals. Some funds should be sponsored to create necessary conditions to increase the population of such animals. Finally, there is still a lot of undiscovered on the Earth, for instance, medicine for AIDS, HIV, cancer and other illnesses.

Nevertheless, there is another point of view on this issue. Some people claim that space explorations should be sponsored as much as possible. Actually, the humanity is facing some environmental problems which may result in need of moving to other planets. Before living in Mars or Saturn people have to explore it attentively. Moreover, curiosity of renowned scientists should also be satisfied.

However, I still insist on my opinion. Unconsciously, if authorities spent enough money for coping with pollution, there would not be a necessity to move to other planets.

In conclusion, I would like to stress once more that under no circumstances should governments ignore needs of people on Earth. Money on space ought to be spent wisely.

The best things in life are free

Undoubtedly, a person is believed to live for something. His/her fortune is considered to be based on some pleasures, interests, achievements and relations.

I totally agree with the statement above that happiness may be obtained without paying anything. Firstly, health cannot be bought with money. To be sound a person should not worry about stuff and should live in harmony with nature. Secondly, an individual feels satisfied, when s/he gains some new information and broadens his/her horizons. In fact, new data may be obtained freely. Finally, life experience, which nurtures wisdom, is gained while coping with difficulties that are not paid for.

Nevertheless, there is another point of view on this issue. Some career makers claim that satisfaction and pleasure can only be purchased with money. What brings them felicity is power and mightiness. To become influential, they have to earn great sums of money. Besides, luxurious things, such as cars, apartments, jewellery, are also thought to be the main goals to achieve.

However, I still insist on my opinion. In fact, luxuries do not make their owner feel that someone needs him/her. To become happy, a person should have family and friends who do not envy of his/her success and will support him/her if she gets in trouble.

In conclusion, I would like to stress once more that under no circumstances should a person be focused on earning money. The most wonderful moments cannot be purchased.

Teenagers should be allowed to read whatever books they like

Undoubtedly, reading is not rising in popularity currently. Despite this fact, some adolescents are still keen on skimming some literature, which is thought to be rather inappropriate to them.

I totally disagree with the statement above. I believe that the youngster ought to be forbidden to read some types of literature because such stories tend to influence adolescents, minds harmfully. Firstly, mentality has been proved to depend on what people are engaged in. Subsequently, teenagers may become mentally-unstable because of violent scenes described in, for example, war stories. Secondly, in some populistic books unhealthy way of life is propagandized. So, teenagers start smoking, drinking alcohol, consuming drugs in order to look cool as it is narrated in such literature. Finally, according to humane ideas teenagers should not be allowed to read about erotic issues.
