79) Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Boys and girls should attend 
separate schools. Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer. 
 
(a) Whether boys and girls should attend separate schools or not is a complex and 
controversial issue. Some people think attending separate schools is benefit for boys and 
girls to put their heart into studies. On the other hand, other people argue that boys and 
girls would be benefit from not only studies but also social skills if they were put together 
in the same schools. In the final analysis, I prefer the latter one to the former one. In the 
following discussion, I would like to have evidence to support my view. 
First of all, the disadvantage of attending separate schools is that the mutual sex will be 
suffering in the future because of lacking the knowledge about the opposite sex. One of my 
friends, for example, who was in separate high schools, lost the regular psychological 
mind after breaking up with her first boy friend. Because she didn’t know boys very well, 
she hoped they could get along well as the relationship between she and her girlfriends. 
However, her boyfriend didn’t do as what her girlfriends did such as going shopping for a 
whole day. She was disappointed by him and had an extremely terrible fight with him. 
They broke up in the end. She was hurt so deeply that couldn’t control her behavior any 
more.
Second of the place, the advantage of attending mixture schools is that boys and girls can 
help each other more efficient than those in separate schools. Because of different physical 
minds, they have different ways to think about questions. When they communicate 
together, they exactly can get some new ideas from others. I still remember after 
discussing with my partner who was a smart guy, I learned to consider the same thing with 
different ways. In this case, I really benefit from those experiences to work out every 
possibility in my work.
However, it may be true that in the mixed schools students will be affected by falling love 
so early. But the thing is when girls from separate schools meet strangers they are much 
easier be attracted by opposite sex than those from mixed schools. So this alone can’t 
constitute sufficient support to the view that boys and girls should attend separate schools.
Given the reasons discussed above, the conclusion, which may intertwine at the beginning 
of discussion and thus become more persuasive, may be safely reached that it’s not 
necessary for boys and girls to attend separate schools.
