THIRD PARAGRAPH TOPIC STATEMENT
7. Lastly, another disadvantage of these schools is that they are not able
to partake in the same range of (extramural) activities as mixed
schools.
SUPPORTING SENTENCES
8. To be more specific, mixed schools can present a greater variety of
activities in which boys and girls are needed—for example,
theatrical plays and dancing performances. (169 words)
CONCLUSION/SUMMARY
9. Some educational policy makers have thought it advisable and
established a number of one-gender schools. I believe they have no
real advantages in an open society but very definite disadvantages.
10. The tendency worldwide these days is not to establish more schools
of this nature. (44 words) (Total words: 242)

6.10 ANIMALS IN EXPERIMENTS
In schools, some live animals are used in biological experiments or
research projects. Some people think this practice is cruel and
unnecessary, while others believe it to be in the interest of human beings.
Explain the two views.

INTRODUCTION
1. Scholars studying animals need to investigate the organs and body
systems of animals like frogs and mice in practical experiments.
2. In this essay, I will briefly look at the arguments for and against this
practice. (35 words)
BODY
3. People caring about the welfare of animals (animal rights activists)
feel those animals should not be used for these experiments and
research.
4. The extremists in this group would argue, for example, that all
animals should have the same rights as humans and that we certainly
would not use humans in these experiments. A more moderate view is
that animals could be used, but with great care taken not to let them
suffer in any way.
5. Scientists and educators, however, feel there is a need to conduct
these experiments if scholars and students are to be educated
properly.
6. They are of the opinion that the animals that are used are not being
treated in cruel ways. The animals either have undeveloped nervous
systems and cannot actually feel pain or are drugged (sedated) or
killed (put down) before being used.
7. Both sides feel that their arguments are justified. It is impossible to
reconcile with the extremists, so the more moderate views are

considered when educators and governments formulate their policies
on the matter.
8. But until further facts can be gathered, the present situation (status
quo) will remain in our schools, colleges, and universities. (183
words)
CONCLUSION
9. Both views have been explained in this essay without favoring one.
10. From the discussion, I have to conclude that this is a complicated
(complex) issue for which there are still no definite (clear-cut)
answers. (32 words) (Total words: 250)
