Cohesive Devices (C1)

Szülinapi különkiadás:

Ha felsőfokúzni készülsz akkor bizony elvárás hogy tisztában legyél a rendszer álltal megkövetelt kötőszavakkal, ennek az angolban több féle megnevezése van: Linker Word, Linking Word, Connectors, Conjunctions, Transitions. Jó ha tudod hogy érdemes ezeket a varázs szavakat használni mert átláthatóbbá teszi a fogalmazásodat és vezérli az olvasót a mellékmondataid közti logikai kapcsolat megértésében. Ha nem használsz tudatosan ilyen szavakat akkor nem alkotsz összefüggő szöveget. A fogalmazásod javítói egy külön javítási szempontot szántak ennek (Kohézió). Szerinten Euroexamen a writing-nál potya pontokat lehet szerezni ha használsz ilyen szavakat. Sokkal könnyebb megszerezni ezeket a pontokat mint például a szókincsre. Ezért alább sok linkert megemlítek angolul.

Should we want to understand the basic intricacies of the current government and system, we need to put it into context. This essay will mainly delve into the intrinsic nature of the incumbent party, its role in shaping the lives of Hungarians and the emergence of the Tisza Party as a viable alternative in the realm of politics. Photograph: János Kummer / Getty Images Context: It was not until the pardon scandal back in February that it became more apparent than ever before that Fidesz is no longer capable of governing Hungary. For many, this was the last straw as tens of thousands of people marched on the streets to speak out against a suppressing regime. In fact, the system in Hungary could be best described as an authoritarian one. It is fair to say that there was widespread discontent throughout the country and, therefore, a lot of voters became disenchanted from Fides...

Child Abuse Scandal Debate

Motion: THBT the government should, in the first place, be in charge of the prevention of child abuse. Bullet points: 1.      What is the spirit of this motion? 2.      Personalization on a community level 3.      One-size-fits-all policy considering efficacy!? 4.      Lack of transparency 5.      Mechanise NGOs and correlate it with utilitarianism 6.      Why we win this debate?   1.     What is the spirit of this motion? First of all, let me elaborate upon the spirit of this motion.
