• Sample of teacher’s comments – 2I1 student , topic: Problem Gambling, evaluated
by Ms Huang Sijian
RoleMan on
the Street
Point of ViewHe likes the prospective economic benefits that the casinos will bring, and he thinks this was a shrewd move on the part of the government. On the other hand, he is aware that problem gambling is a real problem and he thinks it will only rise with the opening of the casinos. He thinks the measures taken by the government and IRs are not enough to curb excessive gambling. He thinks that stricter measures are necessary.
