Opinion Piece/Leaving Certificate

Miriam Lopez Gracia • November 15, 2021

SAMPLE OPINION PIECE

As you all may know by now in the Spanish Leaving Certificate Examination you will be asked to write an Opinion Piece either agreeing or disagreeing with a title. You will have a choice of 2 titles (since COVID there has been a choice of 3 ).


We will now look at the titles of the 2021  exam paper and I will then write a sample for one of them.



a) El mundo necesita voluntarios. 

b)  Es importante ayudar a la gente. 

c)  Ser voluntario es una experiencia fantástica.


Please find bellow a  brief sample answer for the title A; `El mundo necesita voluntarios´.



No podría estar más de acuerdo con esta afirmación. Necesitamos ser más solidarios y aportar nuestro granito de arena para hacer un mundo mejor.

I could not agree more with this statement. We need to show more solidarity and play our part to make a better world.


 

Los voluntarios ayudan a mejorar la vida de otras personas, y el mundo en general necesita ser mejorado. Existen muchas maneras de ser voluntario. Por ejemplo, se puede simplemente echar una mano a tus vecinos.

Volunteers help other people to improve their lives, and the world in general needs to be improved. There are many ways to be a volunteer. For example, we can simply give a hand to our neighbours.

 


Hay que añadir que esto no es solo trabajo de una persona ya que muchas asociaciones de caridad y de deportes también dedican mucho tiempo a ayudar a otros a mejorar sus condiciones de vida.

We must add that this is not only a one person job as many sport and  charity associations also spend a lot of time helping others improve their life conditions.

 


Además, según recientes estudios científicos, el trabajo voluntario mejora nuestra salud física y mental, disminuye el riesgo de depresión y otras enfermedades mentales.

In addition, according to recent scientific studies, voluntary work improves our physical and mental health, decreases the risk of depression and other mental illnesses.


 

En resumen, ser voluntario es algo muy positivo para los demás y para ti mismo. Entonces, ¿Por qué no llenamos el mundo de voluntarios?

Summing up, being a volunteer is something very positive for others and for yourself. Then, why do we not fill the world with volunteers?
