A A few also say that meat just tastes great.

B First of all, humans have evolved to eat meat, so it can be seen as a natural part of our behaviour.

@In addition. they also avoid using other animal products like leather. D Not eating meat, so the argument goes, reduces such risks.

E Others believe that keeping and killing animals for food is cruel. F People who follow a vegetarian diet are often fitter, have lower cholesterol levels and are less likely to have weight problems.

G Some people, though, are vegetarians for religious reasons.

HThis is because it is rich in protein, which is a vital part of a balanced diet.

An assessment reportpresents and assesses the positive and/or negative aspects of the topic which is under discussion. In the final paragraph you may include your opinion or suggestions.

An assessment report consists of:

an introductionin which you state the content as well as the aim of the report;

a bodyin which you present the positive and/or negative aspects of the topic (in more extensive reports you might want to group them under different subheadings);

a conclusionwhich is basically a summary of the presented information where you may also want to express your opinion or give some suggestions.

Very often when you write an assessment report you are also asked to write a proposal report . It contains plans , suggestions and recommendations about which course of action is to be taken in the future. Of course , a proposal report must be approved by the people who have requested the report.

Besides expressions how to

of English, but also to introduce them to the customs and the way of life in England.

Before taking your students for a three­ weeks' course you decide to visit and check the college your students have chosen to stay at.

This is the report that will be presented

to the students' parents at the meeting priortothefinal decision being made.

language school with a long tradition. It is located in Greenfield, which is a typical English town with a local theatre , cinemas, a town museum, a library, restaurants and a shopping centre . Greenfield is only two hours by train from London. However, this could create a problem because students can easily go to London in the afternoon and be back by dinner.

D Course(s)

The school offers a variety of courses and the groups are small - up to 10 students. I recommend that all the students take a course in general English (3 hours in the morning) and 2 classes (project work) in the afternoon as well. The school has excellent academic facilities (study rooms, libraries, etc.) and, I am positive , students will benefit from them enormously.

However, there is a possibility to take sports activities instead of language classes in the afternoon. I would not recommend it because students have plenty of time to participate in sports activities after their language classes, which end at 4 p.m.

G Accommodation

Students have a choice between a residential course and staying with a family. Both options have their benefits and drawbacks'. I would suggest a residential course because some families allow students to stay out late.

All three meals are provided in the college canteen . Despite the fact that

some students are not accustomed to canteen food , I am convinced that most students will find the food satisfactory.

H In conclusion , I think that StJames's Languages International satisfies all the requirements. Therefore , I recommend it as a summer language school.
