Sample essay 3

Universities should accept equal numbers of male and female students in every subject. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

It is believed that men and women should have the same educational opportunities. However, I do not agree with the idea of accepting equal proportions of each gender in every university subject. This essay will explain the reasons why admitting equal numbers of male and female students in every major is impractical.

First, having the same number of men and women on all degree courses is simply unrealistic. Student numbers on any course depend on the applications that the institution receives. If a university decided to fill courses with equal numbers of males and females, it would need enough applicants of each gender. In reality, many courses are more popular with one gender than the other, and it would not be practical to aim for equal proportions. For example, nursing courses tend to attract more female applicants, and it would be difficult to fill these courses if fifty percent of the places needed to go to males.

Apart from the practical concerns expressed above, I also believe that it would be unfair to base admission to university courses on gender. Universities should continue to select the best candidates for each course according to their qualifications. In this way, both men and women have the same opportunities, and applicants know that they will be successful if they work hard to achieve good grades at school. If a female student is the best candidate for a place on a course, it would be wrong to reject her in favour of a male student with lower grades or fewer qualifications.

In conclusion, the selection of university students should be based on merit, and it would be both impractical and unfair to change to a selection procedure based on gender.

me of the ways in which humans are damaging the environment. What can governments do to addressthese problems? What canindividuals do to help?

It is known that humans are responsible for a variety of environmental problems, but we can also take steps to minimize the damages that we are causing to the planet. This essay will discuss environmental problems and the measures that

governments and individuals can take to addressthese problems. Two of the biggest threats to the environment are air pollution and waste. Gas emissionsfrom factories and exhaust fumesfrom vehicleslead to global warming, which may have a devastating effect on the planet in the future. As the human population increases,we are also producing ever greater quantities ofwaste,which contaminatesthe earth and pollutesrivers and oceans.

Governments could certainly make more effort to reduce air pollution. They could introduce laws to limit emissions from factories or to force companies to use renewable energy from solar, wind or water power. They could also impose ‘green taxes’ on drivers and airline companies. In thisway, peoplewould be encouraged to use public transport and to take fewerflights abroad,therefore reducing emissions. Individuals should also take responsibility for the impact they have on the environment. They can take public transport rather than driving, choose products with less packaging, and recycle as much as possible. Most supermarkets now provide reusable bagsforshoppers as well as‘banks’ forrecycling glass, plastic and paperin their car parks. By reusing and recycling, we can help to reduce waste. In conclusion, both national governments and individuals must play their part in looking aftertheenvironment.
