Образец:
People are never satisfied with what they have; they always want something more or something different.
Первая сторона предлагает свое видение введения на предложенную формулировку:
I do not believe that people are never satisfied with what they have and that they always want something more or something different, because sometimes people are satisfied with what they have and sometimes they not always want something more or something different.
Вторая сторона отыскивает изъяны (если они имеются) в сфокусированности на предмете формулировки, а также в связности и последовательности для дальнейшего изложения доводов:
I do not believe that people are never satisfied with what they have and that they always want something more or something different, because it would be abnormal of people to be always dissatisfied with what they have.
Discussion
I think that it is a bad idea to let children grow up in the countryside, because it would end up in social inadequacy of the children.
I believe that children need to grow up in the countryside but it would be better if they have a chance to come to the city and spend some part of their time to communicate with other children.
I think people should sometimes do things that they don't enjoy doing because it's a real life and you can't say: “oh, I'm so tired, just want to lay and do nothing”.
I think people should sometimes do things that they don't enjoy doing because it's a real life and you can't say: “oh, I'm so tired, just want to lay down and do nothing”.
I think people should sometimes do things that they don't enjoy doing because any person lives among other people who in their turn want to do what like to do and this will inevitably lead to conflicts.
I strongly believe that mass media should pay much attention to the personal lives of famous people because if the images are not destroyed by the truth of life, their fans will develop deformed sides of characters.
