Your class has just listened to a discussion on ways in which people can use their free time effectively. You have made the notes below:

Ways of using free time effectively:

• contributing to community projects

• learning practical skills

• taking up healthy activities

Some opinions expressed in the discussion:

“When you help others, you get a lot out of it too.”

“I love using things I’ve repaired or made myself.”

“Physical activity is important for everyone.”

Write an essay for your tutor discussing two of the ways of using free time effectively in your notes. You should explain which way you think is more effective, giving reasons in support of your opinion.

You may, if you wish, make use of the opinions expressed in the discussion, but you should use your own words as far as possible.

2. You are a student at an international college. For the last six months you have spent two days a week doing work experience with a local company. Your course director at college has now asked you to write a report about your work experience.

Your report should describe the work you did, say whether you think this work experience was a valuable part of your studies and suggest ways in which the organisation of the work
experience could be improved.

Write your report.

3. An international business often pays for projects to support families in different countries, for example they may pay for a child’s education.

You decide to write a proposal to the company to suggest a project. In your proposal you should outline the kind of project that you think would be suitable and explain the benefits for families.

Write your proposal.
