        __________ supporting animal testing is that many products must be
tested on animals to ensure that they are safe for use by humans.__________,
diabetics would not be able to inject insulin to control their diabetes had it not
been developed by testing it on animals.
        __________, the effects of certain chemicals such as insecticides can be
observed on animals and their offspring and results are achieved faster since
animals have a shorter life span than humans and the ability to multiply easily.
        ______________ in favour of animal testing is that it is aimed at finding
cures for diseases such as cancer. Most of these tests cannot be done in any
other way. Forty years ago polio was a common calamity amongst children.
Animal testing led to the discovery of a vaccine and now this disease is very
rare in developed countries. __________ some animals undoubtedly suffer, the
end justifies the means.
        __________, laboratory animals are not ill-treated and their suffering is
kept to a minimum. __________, I am in favour of animal testing, provided that
it is conducted under strict conditions and that there is no alternative.

                        Providing solutions to problems
       After stating the problem and why it arose, mention that there are also
several possible solutions. Discuss each suggestion in turn and include any
expected results or consequences. Use the concluding paragraph to decide which
option will give the best results and explain why this is the case.

           Outline: providing solutions/suggestions to problems
Introduction: State the problem, the main reasons for the problem and
                that there are several solutions to it.
Main body:      para. 2 Your first suggestion and why it would be a
                good idea.
                para. 3 Your second suggestion and why it would be a good
                idea.
Conclusion:     Conclude the essay by summarising your opinion - give your
                final suggestion and explain why it would be a good idea.

Exercise 15
Read the model and point out how each suggestion is justified.
        "Violent crime is currently on the increase. Why is this and what can
be done about it?" Write a composition for your teacher.
        Violent crime has increased as a result of greater accessibility to
weapons, combined with the fact that large numbers of young people are
unemployed, with very few prospects of finding a job. In my opinion there are
several solutions to the problem.
        An effective solution is for the government to have greater control over
guns and other dangerous weapons. Therefore, new laws should be passed to
restrict citizens from owning fire arms.
