Writing unit 7: Changing laws


The government plans to introduce a new law which will mean that students will go to school on saturday in order to improve the level of education. In my view, this would have negative consequences.

In the first place, I believe that free time in weekends are necessary because young people must have a good youth and must have fun. Young people can’t always study because we won’t have time for our hobbies or for meet with friends. So if this new law is introduced, I’ve no doubt that a lot of them will have difficulty in making new friends and meeting with them.

If the aim of the government is improve the marks of the public school students, it seems that there’s a better alternative; if they spent more money on better classrooms and teachers, the students marks in this country will be better.
