TASK 2

PART 2 double opinion 


People do many different things to maintain their health. In our view, what are the best ways to stay healthy? Why?

I can see why some might feel that making regular appointments to see a doctor is a good way to stay healthy. On the whole, however, it is my opinion that there are more effective ways to maintain my health. This piece of writing will discuss my views on this topic in more detail. 

First of all, I feel that eating healthy food, especially fruits and vegetables, is a great way to become healthy and stay healthy. Recently I read an interesting article about this subject. According to what I read, fresh fruits and vegetables like apples, bananas, and carrots contain vitamins and other things that are good for the body. The article also mentioned that people who regularly eat fresh fruits and vegetables are sick 47% less often than people who rarely eat these things. 

In addition, I think that exercising regularly is one of the best, easiest, and cheapest ways to stay in good health. In my experience, there are many pieces where people can work out and many activities that people can easily do without spending a lot of money. To give an example, there is a park near my home where I can easily run, play tennis with my friends, or just walk. These activities do not cost any money, which is good for me because I do not have a job these days. 

In conclusion, for the reasons given, I think doing regular exercise and eating foods that are good for me are the best ways to stay healthy. In the future, I will exercise every day and eat more fruits and vegetables for lunch and dinner.

What are the most important qualities of a nurse? Use details and examples to explain why these qualities are important. 


I can see why some might feel that nurses should be good communicators. On the whole, however, it is my opinion that there are two more qualities that nurses should have. This piece of writing will explain my views on this topic in more detail. 

First of all, it is my belief that being careful is a very important quality that nurses need. Recently I read an interesting article about this subject. According to what I read, patients get better quickly when they have nurses who are careful to make sure that their patients get the right medicine and the right treatment. The article also mentioned that roughly one third of all medical mistakes are caused by a medical professional, like a doctor or nurse, making a careless mistake. 

In addition, from my point of view another key quality for nurses is being friendly…

CAE review

Review  Improving the eating out experience We have numerous restaurants in this area, so it can be hard for people to decide where to eat. That's why we want to publish reviews of restaurants. We’re particularly interested in why you had certain expectations of a restaurant, and whether your experience in the restaurant was better -or worse- than you had expected.  Send us your review of a restaurant where you've eaten, explain what your expectations were, and give your reasons for your opinions.  Review of Lanterns Lanterns is the most expensive restaurant in this area and its advertising stressed its upmarket characteristics, with photos of well-dressed guests, candles and linen napkins on the table for instance. You can hardly blame me for expecting everything to be first class: the venue itself, the food and of course the service.  Introduces the restaurant, giving readers who don't know it a clear idea of what it is like.  Addressed the reader directly, to...
