Descriptive essay (writing and speaking): match each body paragraph with its supporting ideas.

• Body 1: Writing = time to revise before sending / ability to go back to it in the future
• Body 2: Speaking = more instant / tone and voice passes feelings

Put the paragraphs of the descriptive essay (writing and speaking) in the correct order.

• To communicate with each other, people have had the choice between speaking and writing for a very long time. In this essay, I will describe how both writing and speaking are effective ways of communication.
• Writing has been used for communication thousands of years ago. It is an effective way of communication because of two major reasons. The first reason is that writing gives the person time to revise the messages before sending them. This helps in eliminating any mistakes and prevents sending information by mistake. The second reason is having the ability to go back to the messages in the future. In other words, writing allows for archiving the information for later access.
• Speaking is also one great way of communication. It is the first communication skill that any human being learns in their early ages. There are two main reasons that make speaking an effective skill for communication. First, speaking is more instant. This means that whatever you say will be immediately received by the listener. Second, the tone and voice used while speaking pass feelings too. In other words, not only does speaking help you communicate your ideas, but it also helps you to communicate your feelings.
• All in all, both skills are great for communication. It is up to the communicator to decide which skill to use, where to use it and under which circumstances.

Argumentative essay (oral exams): classify each idea.

• Testing students’ real knowledge = Arguments for oral exams
• Getting spontaneous answers = Arguments for oral exams
• Easier to mark = Arguments for oral exams
• Not always fair = Arguments against oral exams
• They don’t allow for revision = Arguments against oral exams
• Not receiving coherent answers = Arguments against oral exams

Put the paragraphs of the argumentative essay (oral exams) in the correct order.

• Some teachers believe that oral exams are better than written exams. Others, however, disagree. In this essay, I will discuss the arguments for and against oral exams.
• There are many arguments for oral exams. First, they think that oral exams will help teachers in testing the students’ real knowledge. Second, it allows them to receive spontaneous answers, which sometimes matter to some teachers and some subjects. Third, teachers prefer oral testing because they are easier to mark. The marks will be put while the student is answering orally. This will also make the submission and announcement of grades faster.
• On the other hand, there are many arguments against oral exams. The teachers who disagree with the idea of oral exams think that these exams are not always fair. This is mainly because they don’t allow students to revise their answers, which means that if they get confused or distracted, they could lose a lot of marks. One of the disadvantages of oral exams that a lot of teachers don’t like is that oral exams don’t allow students to give coherent answers. Some subjects require students to take their time and come up with coherent long answers.
• Oral exams are not always fair. They can be a great way to test some aspects of some subjects, but they won’t work to other subjects. Teachers are advised to integrate both testing methods if possible but not to discard written exams altogether.
