RESPONDING TO SURVEY QUESTIONS

The office manager is surveying your opinion about the company providing hot
drinks, such as tea and coffee, in the kitchen for all staff. The company could collect
$15 each month from each person, or each person could contribute $1 for each cup.
the office manager asked you to complete an opinion survey.
Choose the option that you prefer. Why do you prefer your choice? Explain the
reasons for your choice. Write about 150-200 words.
Option A: would like to pay $15 each month.
Option B: would like to pay $1 each time I have tea or coffee.
Sample response:
I firmly believe that opting to pay $1 for each cup is a more advantageous choice
than the alternative, and I present the following compelling justifications to
support my stance:
The majority of our staff operates in a hybrid work mode, not always present in the
office. Paying a fixed monthly fee would burden them for days when they do not
On the contrary, I understand that the fixed monthly payment might suit some
colleagues who rely heavily on hot drinks during their work hours. However, for
those of us who prefer occasional coffee breaks or bring our own beverages, paying
per cup seems more reasonable and cost-effective.
In conclusion, Option B, paying $1 for each cup, stands as the more practical,
health-conscious, and financially accessible option.

Your apartment manager is surveying your opinion about people using barbecues on
their apartment balconies. The apartment balconies are small. Some residents think
that because barbecues can cause smoke and catch fire, they should not be allowed.
However, others think that using barbecues should be allowed because people like to
enjoy summer food at their homes.
Your manager asked you to complete an opinion survey. Choose the option that you
prefer. Why do you prefer your choice? Explain the reasons for your choice. Write
about 150-200 words.
Option A: Residents should not be allowed to use barbecues on their balconies.
Option B: Residents should be allowed to use barbecues on their balconies.
Sample response:
First and foremost, using barbecues on balconies is unsafe and can lead to fires. It
is essential to restrict barbecues to designated areas such as parks or places with a
Another valid reason is that barbecues emit noxious fumes that can pose health
risks. Inhaling these fumes can be particularly harmful to individuals with
respiratory conditions like asthma or allergies. Additionally, grilling meat at high
temperatures can create harmful substances called HCAs and PAHs, which can
cause inflammation and increase the risk of chronic heart problems.

I strongly advocate for a revision in the school's food plan in order to prioritize the

Firstly, promoting healthier food choices at an early age plays a crucial role in

as the most preferable choice in the long run, encompassing unparalleled safety,
convenience, and relaxation for parents.
Opting for a school bus ensures the safety of our children primarily while visiting
Moreover, the incorporation of advanced GPS systems in school buses allows for
efficient tracking and ensures stress-free trips. This technology enables parents to

Your English instructor has assigned a final project. It will involve doing online
research and presenting a 15-minute speech to the class. This project can be done
either individually or in groups of three. Your instructor has asked you to complete
an opinion survey.
Choose the option that you prefer. Why do you prefer your choice? Explain the
reasons for your choice. Write about 150-200 words.
Option A: I want to work by myself on the final project.
Option B: I want to do the project in a group of three.
Sample response:
I strongly prefer to work on the final project in a group of three because it offers
the benefits of a diverse perspective, efficient workload distribution, and the
development of essential teamwork skills.
Dividing the workload among group members can lead to greater efficiency and
productivity. In a group setting, each member can focus on specific aspects of the
topic, making research and preparation more manageable and comprehensive. In
contrast, working alone could mean missing out on valuable insights and potential
improvements to the presentation.
Therefore, Option B is my preferred choice for the final project, as it allows for a
rewarding and successful group collaboration experience.

The City Manager is surveying the opinion of the community about family picnics
held in public parks. On the one hand, public parks are created for people to enjoy

park space. The City Manager has asked you to complete an opinion survey.
Choose the option that you prefer. Why do you prefer your choice? Explain the
reasons for your choice. Write about 150-200 words.
Option A: Family picnics should not be allowed in public parks.
Option B: Family picnics should be allowed in public parks.
Sample response:
I strongly advocate that family picnics in public parks should not be permitted due
to numerous promising reasons.
Firstly, public parks serve as green oases in the midst of urban landscapes, which
provide residents with spaces to connect with nature and enjoy a peaceful
Secondly, family picnics can occupy significant park space, limiting access for
other community members who wish to utilize the facilities. While public parks
should be accessible and enjoyable for all, unrestricted picnicking may lead to
overcrowding and reduced enjoyment for those seeking to relax, exercise, or engage
in other recreational activities.
Finally, family picnics can lead to sanitation and waste management challenges.
Large gatherings generate increased littering, straining park maintenance efforts,
and potentially harming the environment. It may require additional resources and
manpower to maintain the parks' cleanliness and natural beauty.

A builder wants to buy a popular park in your city. He wants to build two apartment
buildings for seniors on the land. You use the park a lot, and your children like the
playground and basketball court. The city is asking residents to respond to an
opinion survey.
Choose the option that you prefer. Why do you prefer your choice? Explain the
reasons for your choice. Write about 150-200 words.
Option A: I think the builder should buy the park.
Option B: I think the park should stay as it is.
Sample response:
I firmly believe that preserving the park's open space and recreational amenities is
of utmost importance for the well-being and enjoyment of the community.
Firstly, the park serves as a cherished gathering place for families and residents of
all ages. Its playground and basketball court provide opportunities for children and
Secondly, the park's greenery and natural environment contribute to the overall
quality of life in the city. It offers a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of
urban life, providing solace and relaxation for individuals seeking a tranquil escape.
During weekdays, office workers often visit the park during their lunch breaks,
enjoying the fresh air and rejuvenating amidst the lush green surroundings.
On the other hand, the proposed apartment buildings for seniors may not be the
best use of the land. While providing housing for seniors is important, it should not
come at the expense of losing a beloved community park. There are other suitable
locations to accommodate the needs of seniors without compromising the
recreational space that benefits the entire community. Thus, Option B emerges as
the more fitting choice.

reasons for your choice. Write about 150-200 words.
Option A: The workplace should have a scent-free policy.
Option B: The workplace should allow people to wear scents.
Sample response:
I firmly believe that allowing individuals to wear scents in the workplace promotes
personal expression and a positive work environment.
Firstly, scent preferences are subjective, and for many employees, wearing their
favourite perfume or cologne can boost their confidence and mood. A pleasant
scent can serve as a form of self-expression, which allows individuals to feel more
comfortable and at ease throughout the workday. For example, I find my signature
Secondly, when employees feel free to wear scents, it can create a welcoming and
friendly atmosphere. Certain scents can evoke positive emotions and contribute to
a sense of harmony among colleagues. This, alternatively, may lead to improved
team dynamics and better collaboration.

You are taking an English writing class at a local college, and your instructor is
surveying your opinion about the final exam. Currently, half of the course grade is
based on a three-hour final exam written in class. However, your instructor is
considering allowing students to submit a five-page report instead, which they
would write at home.
Choose the option that you prefer. Why do you prefer your choice? Explain the
reasons for your choice. Write about 150-200 words.
Option A: I would prefer to write a three-hour final exam in class.
Option B: I would prefer to write a five-page report at home.
Sample response:
More importantly, writing a report permits ample time for research and analysis.
While a three-hour class can be challenging to conduct in-depth research and craft
a comprehensive piece, the home atmosphere can dedicate sufficient time to
explore various sources, gather evidence, and present a more compelling argument.
Lastly, a five-page report allows for creativity and a personalized approach. Unlike
a timed exam, where answers may be concise and rushed, a report provides the
freedom to express ideas in a more elaborate and engaging manner. For example, I
can include charts, graphs, and visual aids to enhance the report's presentation and
make it more visually appealing.
Therefore, Option B is my preferred choice for the final exam, as it aligns with my
learning style and enables me to produce a comprehensive and well-researched
report.
