a stance- attitude, manner of standing
a ban- prohibit, prohibition
to tackle- deal with, confront, challenge

As a part of my today's self study I went to weblearn to check information about my undergraduate course. I checked modules and list of books I will have to study- it is going to be a lot...

However I will find it very helpful being prepared for this. I also did little bit of exercices which we have started during the lesson.

1) 'The police should take a tougher stance on dealing with youth crime'...
It is generally agreed that the goverment is supposed to pay more attention to prevent teenager's crimes.
2) 'Fast food should be banned in all school canteens'...
A common viewpoint is that healthy eating should be prommoted with students.
3) 'University education should be free for all'...
It is widely believed that higher education should be available to everyone without any fee.
4) 'Politicians are not doing enough to tackle global warming'...
Recent research has suggested that the goverment should put more attention to prevent global climat changes.
5) 'It is harder for woman to succeed in business than it is for men'...
It is often argued that female has to work harder to achive male's position.
6) ' The dangers of the Internet are greater then the benefits it brings'...
Many people say that Internet may cause more problems then advantage.
