Sample writing 
I believe that finding information and problem solving are the two most essential skills of independent teenagers. First, being able to acquire reliable information allows teenagers to make informed decisions. These days, too much information on the Internet may make people overloaded. Therefore, good information finding skill serves teenagers to judge the situations and take decisions reasonably. Second, problem-solving skill makes teens ready to cope with difficult situations. For example, a teenager who does not understand Maths may avoid doing his homework and end up falling behind his classmates. With good problem solving skill, he knows how to seek help from teachers and peers and consequently improve the situation. In conclusion, being able to search information and solve problems will best prepare teenagers for an independent life. (127 words)

Are you ready? Let’s start.
Man: The International Day of Persons with Disabilities started in 1992. Now it happens every year. It highlights issues that are an everyday concern for millions of people around the world. Organizers hope to promote global understanding of disability issues and recognize the rights and dignity of people with disabilities. People act in many ways to increase awareness, including organizing events, workshops and campaigns in support of the day.
Disability affects all societies and almost all families at some time. More than 650 million people across the globe live with disabilities. In richer nations, there are very good support systems for the disabled. However, in poorer nations, people with disabilities are further disabled by a lack of help, care, medicines and rights. It is a sad fact that 80 per cent of people with disabilities live in poorer countries. There is a very strong link between poverty and disability. The situation is also tragic for children. UNESCO says 90 per cent of children with disabilities in developing countries do not go to school. It is important we act on this day!
