You must answer this question. Write your answer in 220-260 words in an appropriate style.
1. You have listened to a radio programme about which days should shops remain open in the European Union. You have made the notes below:
Which days should shops be open in the European Union?
● shops should be open 7 days a week and holidays
● shops should be closed on Sundays and all public holidays
● shop owners should have the right to open their shops whenever they want
Some opinions expressed during the talk:
“Allowing shops to be open seven days a week might be better for consumers, but at what price for workers.”
“I am convinced that all citizens of the European Union should benefit from a work-free Sunday.”
“Let shop owners and workers decide for themselves.”
Write an essay discussing two of the points in your notes. You should explain which option is the best for consumers, shop owners and workers, giving reasons in support of your answer.
You may, if you wish, make use of the opinions expressed in the talk, but you should use your own words as far as possible.
