Пример эссе на тему Social networks - a boon or a bane

Social networks are becoming extremely  popular nowadays. Thousands of people enjoy using them   and spend hours  in front of computers while others find them  dangerous and addicting . (33)
 It seems to me that social media has got a lot of  advantages. To begin with, social networking is a super way of entertaining. You can watch any films, listen to music you like, read books. What is also important there exist social nets connecting people according to a general interest, for example, computer games players are combined into a social net.  Secondly, Social networking sites help students do better at school. For instance,  VKontakte can be used for asking questions, and discussing what has been learnt in class. (89)
However, there are people who claim that social networks are a great trouble. They base their opinion on the following.  Social networking sites can lead to stress and offline relationship problems. People often pay less attention to those who are near them – their parents, siblings and so on. One of the worst consequences of the social networks may be the lack of normal healthy social interactions.(66)
Nevertheless, I cannot agree with the above point of view. Social networking sites allow people to improve their relationships and make new friends. It is especially important for people who are socially isolated or shy connect with other people. (39)

All in all, although social networks can sometimes be addicting and time-consuming, it is worth it. With the help of social networks people can gain a lot of experience of making new friends, studying and socializing,    (37) (270)

 Пример эссе на тему генномодифицированных продуктов, написанного по предложенной схеме 
Discussions about  GM foods are becoming more and more frequent nowadays. Some people think that GM foods can help humans while others consider it as harmful. (31)

I think there are a lot of advantages of GM foods. Firstly, a proposed benefit of such foods is that they can produce higher crop yields, which could help by feeding more people in developing countries.  Secondly, GM foods can improve food quality. They are engineered  to have a huge content of a specific nutrient that is lacking in the diet of a local population group. Finally, through the modification of foods, the flavors can be enhanced. Food can become more palatable. (82)

However, there are some people who claim that GM foods can have a negative effect on human health. Firstly, a constant risk of GM foods is the ability of such foods to trigger an allergy in humans. Some of the genes might be taken from a food that causes allergies in some people. Moreover, they say that some GM foods  are modified using bacteria and viruses,  which may lead to the emergence of new diseases. (75)

Nevertheless, I cannot agree with the above point of view. I am sure that GM foods can help people be healthier. They reduce the need for pesticides and herbicides, which is good for our nature and as a result for human beings. (42)



All in all, although using  GM foods may present several potential drawbacks, it is worth it. GM foods can improve the general beauty and health of the environment and the quality of food, which indirectly benefit our personal well-being .(33)
