convinced

Script:

Ms Taylor: Thank you so much for meeting me today, Mr Robinson.

Mr Robinson: Of course. I’m excited to hear about your plan for the music department, Ms Taylor.

Ms Taylor: I want to shift the school music department’s focus to folk music to preserve this dying art form.

Mr Robinson: Sorry, can you make it clear why we should prioritise this genre?

Ms Taylor: It’s important to keep folk music alive and make it more approachable for young people. It is through these songs that we see our cultural identity and daily life in the past. By teaching students folk music, we can show them our cultural heritage and encourage them to protect it.

Mr Robinson: What have you done so far to bring folk music to school?

Ms Taylor: I came up with the idea of crowdfunding. Recognising the importance of folk music, the online community provided enough funds for some traditional musical instruments. Having received little funding from the school, I’m making use of an old classroom to teach a few students about folk music.

Mr Robinson: If I donate money to the department, what will you do?

Ms Taylor: With more money, I can redecorate our music room and promote our folk music class.

Mr Robinson: OK. You convinced me.

Sample writing:

When students finish their high-school life and enter the new door of adulthood, they hardly avoid living far from their family to pursue their dreams in urban universities. Living independently can bring freshmen both challenges and benefits.

First of all, most first-year students will have to do every household chores by themselves, such as washing clothes and cooking meals. Sharing their room with other mates might lessen the burden; however, fierce arguments possibly happen when they split the chores unequally. Additionally, financial ruin at the end of the month is also a taxing issue facing higher education students.

On the other hand, once students get used to living independently, they will gain numerous advantages. They can master household skills as well as learn how to sympathetically accept others’ flaws, lower their high self-esteem and complete their duties. As for managing the monthly budget, they know where to buy affordable items and how to save up money in case of emergency.

In conclusion, living independently might be challenging but beneficial to many tertiary students. They shouldn’t be afraid of its challenges and regard it as a great opportunity to make their university life more colourful.
