2) Agree 1:
Firstly, smoking should be banned because it is a serious hazard to our health.
3) Agree 2:
Secondly, smoking should indeed be banned as it is a blatant waste of money.
4) Agree 3:

5 (OPTIONAL) Counter-Argument:
However, there are some benefits including a good source of income and the tax collected can be used to improve the
infrastructure in our country. Nevertheless, smoking has more disadvantages and should be banned.
6) Recommendation:
The government should streamline immediate and effective action to ban smoking throughout the country by banning import
and sales of cigarettes and increasing the fines and jail sentences for tobacco smuggling and distribution. 

Disagree
(5 + 1 paragraphs)
100     or     75:25
1) Thesis Statement:
Smoking should not be banned because there are many benefits for our country in terms of increasing profits, stimulating the
economy and tax collected can improve infrastructure for everyone.
2) Disagree 1:
First and foremost, smoking should not be banned as it increases the profit for the shop owners who sell it to the public.

The second reason it should not be banned is because the collective sales of cigarettes can stimulate our economy due to its high
demand.

Lastly, banning smoking is not a good idea because the tax collected can be used to improve and upgrade infrastructure such as
roads, schools and hospitals.
5 (OPTIONAL) Counter-Argument:
On the contrary, there are some advantages of banning smoking as it does have some hazardous effects to smokers’ health and
the environment. Nevertheless, we should not deny a person’s choice to smoke or not especially since it can still bring some
benefits to our country.
6) Recommendation:
The government should draw up an effective strategy to maximise tax collection of tobacco products in order to boost the
economy and use the funds to provide better quality basic facilities for everyone’s mutual benefit.
Question: Students should start their own blog. Do you agree? Support your answer with examples. You
should write at least 350 words.
     In recent years, the world has witnessed a significant rise in technological advancements across all
fields. We saw science improved, mathematical questions answered, and social media flourished. The
mushroom of blogs has positively correlated with the increasingly affordable price of computers and
gadgets. Majority of the bloggers are students who use it for various purposes. Despite the ongoing debate
on whether students should start their own blog, I strongly agree that starting a blog and constantly
updating it helps develop critical thinking skills, creates a knowledgeable society and fortifies multiracial
unity.
     First and foremost, starting and updating a blog helps to stimulate a critical way of thinking. Blog acts
as a platform which opens up avenues for sharing and discussing ideas. Students are free to share their
viewpoints with netizens all over the world and anyone can propose his or her ideas in the comment
section below. Consequently, a discussion will be built up and the commenters need to analyse the
arguments by considering the issue from different aspects and backgrounds. Thus, critical thinking skills
develop slowly in the students’ mind without one realising it. For instance, the discussion on the economic
issue can only come to an ideal conclusion through critical analysis of the current situation by viewing
from different aspects, involving the countries, citizens and resources. Therefore, it is crystal clear that
blogging can develop a critical thinking mind, especially among the students.
     In addition to this, blogging plays a key role in moulding a knowledgeable society. It is a universal truth
that most students in this era of globalisation where technology reigns adapt better to learning via
electronic media. Furthermore, most students spend more time browsing the Internet compared to
reading books and newspapers. Hence, information and knowledge shared via blogs can reach more
students than the traditional way of sharing through books. As an exemplification, students who have
created mnemonics to ease the memorisation of difficult topics in the syllabus can share them via their
blogs so that other students can learn it and even discuss to come up with a better idea. As a result, the
knowledge input of students who access to the blogs will be escalated dramatically to eventually mould a
knowledgeable society.
     Moreover, blogging can enhance the unity among different races. When students of different races blog
about their unique cultures and traditions, students of other races who came across the articles will be
well-informed about the cultures of other races and thus open their eyes to realise the existence of other
cultures in one’s country. This can develop a better sense of understanding and hence maintain the
precious unity among races, which is crucial to the harmony of a multiracial country such as Malaysia. For
example, when a Malay student posts about their tradition of visiting one another during the Aidilfitri,
Chinese, Indian as well as indigenous students will get to know more about the culture of Malays and the
dos and don’ts when they join the celebration. Subsequently, students will develop a better understanding
about races and unity is fortified when all sorts of misunderstandings are avoided.
     On the other hand, one may argue that blogging is time consuming and distracting for the students.
This notion anchored its arguments on the common scenario that most students are very likely to get
carried away when they access the Internet and eventually wasted so much time doing unbeneficial
activities in the Internet. Students are also prone to the exposure towards the underlying negative
influences in the Internet such as violence, gore and sexually explicit contents which are able to corrupt
the students’ mind once and for all.

     In a nutshell, I still totally believe that students should start their own blog as this brings magnificent
advantages to the students, society as well as our beloved country. Blogging stimulates a critical way of
thinking, produces an enlightened society and strengthen the unity among races. The minor drawbacks
can be prevented by careful measures such as parental control. The government through the Ministry of
Education should spearhead a foolproof blueprint to instill the habit of blogging among students by
providing special training and increasing incentives for the usage of technology in schools.
