Around the world more and more people today are living in urban
areas. Why is this? What problems does this cause?

There is no doubt that many people migrate to cities to look for new opportunities.
There are two main reasons, and three problems of this trend, which will be discussed
in this essay.
Probably the main reason for living in cities is the lack of jobs in rural areas. Due to the
development of the agriculture industry, human resources are minimized. This transition
results in a lack of work, Thus those who are in the working ages may find difficulties in
finding a job if they stay. In urban areas, In contrast, the economy develops quickly,
which increases the demand for labour. Furthermore, as the infrastructure is less
developed in rural areas, there are many disadvantages to living there. Many choose to
move to urban areas in order to have a better lifestyle.
There are three major problems of the migration from rural to urban areas. The first
problem is overpopulation in cities, especially metropolitans. Many of them have a
significantly low number of people per meter, which vastly decrease life quality.
Secondly, competition for jobs has always been a major issue. Those who come from
rural areas are often ready to work at a lower rate, which creates a conflict with local
people, who cannot afford a lower rate. Finally, housing and renting prices claim
dramatically in cities as there is a high demand created by immigrants; therefore, it
makes living in those places much more difficult and expensive.
To conclude, the reasons for living in cities are more job opportunities and better

infrastructure. However, three major issues are overpopulation, job competition and
high housing and renting price.

In some countries, there are fewer young people who listen to or play
classical music these days. Why is this? Should young people be
encouraged to play or perform classical music?

Around the world, there are some states that witnessing reduction of people playing and
listening to classical music. This happens because in the modern world new types of
music are more appealing for a younger generation. It seems that the young ought to
be encouraged if they listen to or play classical music.
To begin, more types of modern music was created. As many spheres in life, music also
has developed and changed since the past, moreover, nowadays such genres as
techno and rock music attract more young listeners due to their rhythmic, fresh, and
energetic tunes. To illustrate, recent research shows that vast majority of teenagers
consider listening to classical tune as a boring, uninteresting and old fashioned activity,
whereas techno and rock music is easy to listen to and also it represents a symbol of
brightness, energy and youth.
Nevertheless, due to many cognitive benefits, the young ought to be encouraged to
perform and listen to classical music. It is common knowledge that this type of melody
helps not only relax but also enhance focusing on really tough tasks, therefore, it is
sufficient to encourage the young generation to listen to it during their studying. Besides
, if parents encourage their children to play classical music, this will develop their lateral
thinking and fine motor skills that are vital abilities for a young individual. For example,
statistic shows that parents who are aware of the benefits that playing classical music
encouraging their children more.
In conclusion, some countries around the globe have a small number of teenagers who
would like to play classical music or listen to it. Modern genres seem to be more

attractive for the young rather classical music, however, it has a positive impact for a
child if he performs classical music, thus, the young ought to be prized to play and listen
to a classical tune.

Computer games are very popular for all ages and nationalities.
Parents think this has little educational value and it will be harmful for
children. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Nowadays, children are very much addicted to games, which has become a concern for
parents all over the world. They think it is affecting their kids and it has no value in
education. Though there are arguments, I radically agree that gaming habit is not doing
any good to humankind. This essay will discuss the views and explain why I think so.
To begin with, while technology is growing with progressive society, there are also many
negative side effects of games. Firstly, living in a fictional life is very dangerous as well
as worrying for children. They think themselves a real character of the game, hence try
to behave like that in their practical life too. For example, a boy in India was so much
addicted to video-games that he murdered his own parents because he imagined
himself a figure from the play. Secondly, is gives eye pressure. Many children have a
tendency to hunch over the screen, as a result, they are getting poor eyesight at a very
early age. kids watch the screen all the time, for instance, may have high power
glasses. Therefore, kids are doing bad in their study and gaining nothing in life.
On the other hand, sometimes kids may gain something positive too from games.
Technology and science are releasing more games every day to attract kids in order to
remain in the market. Some brain games, for example, may grow a kid's innovating skill.
However, PC games or PlayStation are so addicting that children prefer to play indoor
all the time instead of going outside. They take it as their timepass or mental relaxation.
Games' alluring attributes are attracting more kids day by day, thus many kids dream to
own these. Moreover, they may have very little good as well, but this is not worth it in

order to the negative impacts.


In conclusion, this essay has discussed the views. Although there are pros and cons, I
reckon that these have made children lazier as well as vicious. Kids get no or very little
education from games.

Some people think that climate change could have a negative effect
on business. Other people think that climate change could create
more business opportunities. Discuss both views and give your own
opinion.

Many individuals consider climatic changes detrimental to their business; however,


others consider it as an opportunity to grow. In my opinion, climate change creates new
work opportunities. Both the viewpoints are discussed in the essay.
Climate variation can certainly hurt businesses. For example, extreme weather
conditions affect crops. A poor harvest will make farmers poorer and affect rural
economies. When farmers do not have money to spend, the demand for products will
decrease. Obviously, this is detrimental for all trade. Likewise, extreme rainfall or
flooding may force stores to stay closed for days on end. All of these scenarios are
harmful to businesses.
Conversely, for many companies, the changing weather conditions are an affirmative
way to grow. This is because climatic changes create new demands and as the
demands are dynamic, the organisations can grab the opportunity to provide whatever
is needed. For example, in 2019, Delhi was covered with smog in the month of October
and according to the survey conducted by the Economic Times, the sale of air-purifiers
and anti-pollution masks increased by almost 100%. Likewise, poor rainfall increases
the demand for rainwater harvesting systems. In the same way, hotter summers provide
manufactures a great opportunity to sell more fans and air conditioners. These
examples clearly prove that if businesses are capable of catering to the changing needs

of society in the wake of climate modification, they can reap rich dividends.
In conclusion, although many people consider climate transformation as bad for their
trade, in my opinion,it is possible to gain huge monetary benefits from such changes.

The first man to walk on the moon claimed it was a step forward for
mankind. However, it has made little difference in most people’s lives.
To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Scientists often visit other planets to explore the chances of lives. Some people opine
that it is a waste of enormous funds whilst others have contrast viewpoint. Although
ordinary people's lives stay the same, I believe these visits can be beneficial for
mankind in future.
On the one side, walking on the moon and other planets require huge investments.
Millions of dollars are spent on rockets and other equipment to send a scientist. Further,
it is unsure that they will invent and find something useful; nevertheless, billions of
people are dying of starvation. Some scientists even die on their way too. For instance,
Kalpana Chawla an Indian scientist died while returning from another planet. If this
money is spent for the welfare of society, it will more beneficial. Therefore, instead of
spending much on these journeys, more focus should be on alleviating situations of
poverty-stricken people.
On the other side, the population is rapidly burgeoning on earth, finding the possibilities
of life on other planets is vital. If scientists do not visit other planets, how this will be
found. It is irrefutable to state that these may have little or no effects on common
civilians' lives in the present but definitely effect in future. This may be possible that
there will be no space to live on earth. In such case, the moon and other planets can be
last resort for humans. For example, as per the recent article in an English newspaper,
if the population increase with the same rate, in the next decades, the earth will not be a
suitable planet to live on. Hence, walking on the other planets is paramount.

In conclusion, visit moon is not a redundant activity as this is for the better future of
mankind. Though funds are used, I believe such visits should be continued to invent
wonders.

Many people living in cities these days do not get enough physical
exercise. What are the causes of this? What are some possible
solutions?

It is evident that city dwellers are more likely to suffer from chronic and non-
communicable diseases due to the absence of physical activity. The majority of people
who are living in the cities have rarely seen working out their bodies. This essay will
discuss the reasons and solutions to this issue.
One of the main reasons that prevent people from exercising regularly, they have been
accustomed to living a sedentary lifestyle . This lifestyle has arisen because of modern
technology, which encourages individuals to become more dependable on this
technology to perform all of their daily tasks. Nowadays, they spend most of their at
home watching movies on Netflix instead of going outside with their friends. Also, they
can run their errands through popular online applications such as ordering food or
purchasing grocery items. Technology is the root of propelling people toward a passive
lifestyle. Another important cause to this case, employees are prisoners of their work as
they could not be able to find time for moving or stretching their bodies. When a regular
worker works for an average of ten hours per day , it is definitely exhausting for him to
train vigorously his body.
The solution to this trend requires a contribution of both the government and the
citizens. First, the government have to increase the numbers of sports facilities and it is
advisable to be free of charge to stimulate people to take care of their well-being.
For example , the Abu Dhabi government builds up outdoor activities in each block of
the city and offer free scooters and bicycles that are located on each road. As a result ,
https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0?ik=a29b1ba1d0&view=pt&search=all&permthid=thread-a%3Ar-4707050331545963711&simpl=msg-a%3Ar-4705397… 6/86
1/5/2021 Gmail - Frequent Writing topics May 2020-Till Date

more and more residents are going out to enjoy these outdoor facilities. Secondly,
Individuals hold the key to changing their daily habits by stopping or eliminating all the
addictive habits that distract them from exercising. They aware of the benefits of
physical activity, but they are more likely to find an excuse for not training physically.
To sum up, it can be seen that sedentary lifestyle and the responsibilities of jobs have
made it more difficult for residents of cities to do their workouts. However, the
government and individuals play a vital role in tackling this issue.

One of the most important issues facing the world today is a shortage
of food and some think genetically modified foods are a possible
solution. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Lack of food availability is raising a significant concern in this temporary world, and
there is a biology-related solution that scientists suggest is genetically modified foods.
In my perspective, utilizing this biology technique will solve the shortage of foods
because it eliminates some of the potential causes of this issue.
To begin with, it is apparent that scarcity of foods appearing all over the world due to a
drop in agricultural productivity. Insects and pests are the main factors for damaging
crops, food production or parasitizing livestock, leading to a lack of annual harvests.
Consequently, the markets will face an inadequate amount of fruits, vegetables or meat
to meet customer’s demands. For example, mice and rats are common fears to most
farmers because they eat seeds, young plants or even ripe fruits, resulting in heavy
damage to the number of harvests. Another justification is that mosquitoes are
intermediate agents who transmit diseases amongst the animals, particularly Swine Flu.
In this following manner, these animals carrying pathogenic germs cannot be harvested
for production, so a large volume of this protein type is impossible for consumption.
Otherwise, there is a possible alternative to this problem which modifies the living
organism’s genes to enhance yields through the introduction of resistance to diseases
https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0?ik=a29b1ba1d0&view=pt&search=all&permthid=thread-a%3Ar-4707050331545963711&simpl=msg-a%3Ar-4705397… 7/86
1/5/2021 Gmail - Frequent Writing topics May 2020-Till Date

and boost productivity. Instead of using pesticides to kill insects and pets, scientists opt
for genetic modification that inserts genes whose traits are better than normal ones in
terms of quality of nutrition and rich in reproduction. Some argue that these modified
products are the primary factor causing cancer, but there is no evidence so far to prove
this claim according to the American Cancer Association. GMO corns, for instance, are
now popular in today’s markets because they resist certain insects and pets but not
humans. Therefore, genetically modified foods are forecasted to be efficient in the
enhancement of harvests.
In conclusion, coping with the edge of food existence, recent studies are suggesting to
apply genetic modification as an ultimate solution which reduces insect damage to the
crops and accelerates food proliferation.

Society is based on rules and laws. It could not function if individuals


were free to do whatever they wanted to do. To what extent do you
agree or disagree?

It is true that laws play a fundamental role in any nation and its society would not
function properly in case of anarchy. I completely agree with the opinion that rules and
laws are necessary for the normal function of a society. This is because there are
always people who do not have strict moral values and without any laws, they would
certainly be harmful to others.
First, human nature is not humanitarian and history shows us that people who were the
cruellest creatures on the Earth lived their lives in prosperity and did whatever they
wanted. However, modern laws aroused out of a need for finishing this practice when
cruelty rules the world. Moreover, today every person is equal to the legislation.
For instance, if somebody commits a murder, they will be sentenced to the fullest extent
of the law, no matter how much money or weapons they have. Thus, laws are playing a
deterrent role against severe and minor crimes.
https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0?ik=a29b1ba1d0&view=pt&search=all&permthid=thread-a%3Ar-4707050331545963711&simpl=msg-a%3Ar-4705397… 8/86
1/5/2021 Gmail - Frequent Writing topics May 2020-Till Date

In addition, if a community did not have any rules or laws it would lead to bloody wars
because without having protection from the government people would be forced to
protect themselves. It is obvious that the crime rates would be increasing tremendously
and a number of social consequences such as violence and hunger of robbed people
would follow the absence of laws. To illustrate, if we consider modern countries with a
corrupted law system, we can observe that these nations have an enormous gap
between rich and poor classes, a huge amount of people live below the poverty line,
and children’s prostitution thrives.
In conclusion, I fully agree that rules and laws are essential for the function of a country
and have to be strictly followed and obliged for every citizen of it. This is because if the
laws are not respected then humanity degrades.

Some people think that the most important function of music is to


help people relax. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Music has been always considered a significant part of entertainment throughout the
passing centuries. It is often claimed that music has been used as a mode to fulfil their
needs for relaxation and enjoyment. This essay will discuss why I entirely agree with
this statement.
Some would claim that the role of music should not only tie closely with enjoyment as it
has a bigger role than this. Music has a large contribution to the education process as it
enhances the memory skills of pupils as well as develops reasoning and logical skills at
a fast pace. There were numerous studies and researches proved that learning how to
play music helped people to accomplish their tasks in a creative way. However, the
issue here is that people don't have adequate time to learn playing music instrument
music instruments while listening to it can make their life easier and comfortable.
Proponents of deploying music as a way to release stress and obtain peace argued that
the people have been always emotionally connected to music during the desperate and

joyful moments of their lives. For instance, people always listen and dance to the songs
in active settings such as night clubs , restaurants , weddings and parties. In addition,
listening to wonderful sounds helps people to escape from the pressures of their
responsibilities at their home and work. These magnificent notes have a great impact
on transforming the temperament of individuals from bad to a better state. A study
made by Oxford University stated that 68% of workers listened to music before an
important meeting to get rid of anxiety. Hence, Music plays a vital role in lessening the
challenges by giving people positive energy.
To sum up, although listening to music is a common way to get over the negative vibes
and ease the minds, there is opposing opinions toward this perspective. In my point of
view, I believe that it is difficult to change human attitudes toward music because their
innate soul is deeply connected with beautiful harmony.

Computers today can quickly and accurately translate languages,


therefore, it is a waste of time to learn a foreign language. To what
extent do you agree or disagree?

Computer programs are believed to now able to carry out language translation tasks far
more quickly than any human can; therefore, some people believe that it is no longer
necessary to learn a second language. I completely disagree with this idea because
knowing the overseas tongue lets facilitate the quick adaptation of newcomers to the
new country and makes it possible to establish business partnerships more effectively.
Using equipment for translation may disrupt conversations between people who
decided to move abroad and locals. This problem could happen if newcomers rely
entirely on their translation apps for their daily communication. Hardly ever
can newcomers build a close relationship with locals in a new country if new residents
cannot speak and understand the local language. To illustrate, when new people talk
with their local friends, they need to use translation apps: thus, not only will it
https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0?ik=a29b1ba1d0&view=pt&search=all&permthid=thread-a%3Ar-4707050331545963711&simpl=msg-a%3Ar-470539… 10/86

intermittent their discussion, but it also can cause unpleasant feelings to others.
Moreover, the human's role in face-to-face business communication is not a simple
thing to be replaced by technology. When people look at each other and try to speak in
their nonnative expression, even hardly and slowly, it has demonstrated respect toward
their companion, which is valuable in in-person conversations. Especially in trades,
establishing a dialogue in people's opposite side's native wording can lead to building
more substantial confidence and trust between partners.
In conclusion, although technology has made it much quicker and easier to translate
any language, I believe that learning a foreign language is still necessary to have
effective business communication and newcomers' social adaptation in a new country

Some think that it is more important for children to engage in outdoor


activities instead of playing videogames. To what extent to you agree
or disagree?

There are some discussions happening that it is necessary for teenagers to participate
in outdoor recreation rather than spending time with game consoles. I completely agree
that engaging in a variety of activities outside is beneficial for a child as active games
develop physical abilities and practice communication skills.
First of all, I believe that outdoor games provide a valuable influence on improving
physical endurance, muscle strength and speed due to diversity of childish sports.
Moreover, there is a need for active movement such as running, jumping and throwing
the ball on the playground, as opposed to sitting in one place during a computer game.
For example, according to one statistics of The U.S. Department of Health, 1 out of 3
children in the United States is overweight or obese as a consequence of staying at
home playing video games and don’t get enough activity, while youngsters who spend
time outdoors are 49% less prone to health problems.
Secondly, outdoor games in the company of peers are useful for developing
https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0?ik=a29b1ba1d0&view=pt&search=all&permthid=thread-a%3Ar-4707050331545963711&simpl=msg-a%3Ar-470539… 11/86
1/5/2021 Gmail - Frequent Writing topics May 2020-Till Date

communication skills. Furthermore, offline dialogues are incredibly important for the
ability to express emotions in words and to understand the feeling of others, since
online communication is limited to short phrases and emojis and does not convey the
beauty of real communication. For instance, according to psychologists, adolescents
who are not involved in outdoor plays in 8 out of 10 cases have difficulty building
friendly relations with classmates because in the establishment of relations of real life is
much more complex than 2 clicks and 4 emojis online.
In conclusion, I strongly believe that participation in active games with peers in
playgrounds and parks will lead to improving socialization skills for schoolchildren, and
also increase physical health.

Whether or not a person achieves their aims in life is mostly related


to luck. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

It is thought that fortune plays a key role in accomplishing one’s goals. While I agree
with this view, it is also my firm belief that endless effort is a significant factor.
To begin with, successful people are those who are lucky enough to grab and seize
random and unexpected opportunities. What this means is that people who have
everything but heaven’s luck are highly likely to fail to fulfil personal accomplishment.
There are thousands of people who are brilliant and attractive in the world, and many of
them are aiming at becoming authorities or famous figures in their fields. However, the
positions and jobs they desire are limited, so only the fortunate ones come across
critical events or people that help their dream come true. If it were not for pleasant
accidents, fewer personalities would come out to the world.
Although it is true that fortune is critical to personal fulfilment, people should not stop
making efforts for their aim because there is a proverb, ‘if there is a will, there is the
door’. If the person is not prepared for a good chance to climb the corporate ladder by
chance, for example, they will definitely miss or ruin it. Even if they catch it, they would
https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0?ik=a29b1ba1d0&view=pt&search=all&permthid=thread-a%3Ar-4707050331545963711&simpl=msg-a%3Ar-470539… 12/86

not be able to deal with the new tasks, possibly leading to completing their personal
ambitions without continuous hard work. Therefore, without a doubt, conscience plays a
vital role in goal accomplishment.
In conclusion, not only is luck important to succeed in getting one’s objectives done, but
the effort is also vital because, without the latter one, people may not make the most
use of chances.

Some people think that it is a waste of time for high school students
to study literature, such as novels and poems. To what extent do you
agree or disagree?

Some Schools teach literature, especially to secondary level students. Many believe
that this is unnecessary and more time should be utilised in studying academic
subjects. I agree with this statement; however, I am not in favour to ignore the
importance of literature at all.
Firstly, studying novels and poems in high schools helps to transfer histories, cultural
rituals and norms to the future generation. Past history is saved in the form of literature,
which reminds students of their ancestors’ lifestyle, sacrifice and patriotism for
independence. This is the reason that people have an affection towards their nations
and refrain them from absorbing a new culture too. Secondly, reading and writing skills
improve with literature. Most students are enthusiastic about poems and they often
express their positive feelings in the form of poetry. In other words, we can say that
literature brings peace and Harmony in a society.
Nonetheless, science subjects in today’s competitive era are vital to study. New
technologies and discoveries require full dedication to practical subjects, like
Information technology and physics. Its result is fruitful, regarding the country’s
economic growth and a significant advancement in the health domain. For example,
information technology fosters online business and is also a tool for products
https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0?ik=a29b1ba1d0&view=pt&search=all&permthid=thread-a%3Ar-4707050331545963711&simpl=msg-a%3Ar-470539… 13/86

advertising on the international platform. Moreover, the digital imaging of organs to


diagnose diseases and flying aircraft to shorten a distance, are the gifts of science.
That’s why, instead of wasting time on literature, practical subjects should be prioritised.
To summarise, I would recommend that practice subjects are crucial for the country’s
prosperity; nevertheless, literature has its own importance and a weekly lecture for high
school students is necessary.

Nowadays people live longer after they retire. How does this affect
individuals and society? What can be done about this?

In today’s world, because of the advancement in the medical sector more and more
health conditions are becoming curable, as a result, in general, the death rate of elderly
people has decreased and they live longer even after their retirement. In some ways,it
has negative impacts on the individuals themselves and society as a whole especially in
case of finance. These problems can be solved by advanced government norms which
favours senior citizens.
Firstly, living for many years may not prove to be enjoyable for the majority of old
people. Since the retirement pension,they get will not serve any purpose as the amount
is not sufficient. Moreover, getting older means the health is deteriorating day-by-day
which deprives their physical autonomy. Secondly, this problem in one way affects
society too, because most of the people in their old-age suffer from diseases like
arthritis, diabetes or any cardiovascular diseases. Thus, they need advanced treatment
techniques to sustain their life. Acting as a chain reaction, for this purpose to fund more
in the health sector, authorities will increase the tax which in-turn affects all the other
citizens.
The best fixes of these problems can be achieved by governing bodies by introducing
certain norms. For example, in New York City besides the social security benefits, which
is barely enough for daily requirements there are certain helpline numbers through
https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0?ik=a29b1ba1d0&view=pt&search=all&permthid=thread-a%3Ar-4707050331545963711&simpl=msg-a%3Ar-470539… 14/86

which retired elderly people can get access to cheaper daily utilities like grocery and
medicine. Additionally, some apartments especially for the senior citizens are also
available whose rent is quite affordable for them.
In conclusion, the drawbacks of living longer after people have stopped working can be
easily tackled by forward-thinking governmental policies. It will be beneficial for all the
age groups as old-age is a bitter truth of everyone’s life.

use of chances.

Many educational institutions give greater importance to subjects


related to science and ignore subjects such as drama and literature.
Why is this? Is this a positive or negative development?

Education has always been the centre of attention throughout the passing centuries. it
is often believed that the STEM subject is the essence of developing a solid and
modernized curriculum. Therefore, literature and arts are more likely to be neglected by
most of the educational schools. This essay will discuss the reason for this trend and
how these scientific courses have more advantage than literary texts.
The advancement of technologies has brought attention to the courses related to
science.Without these subjects,it would be impossible to invent all of the cutting edge
products that have an immense influence on the life of a human. In other words, the
development of medical and economical structures have saved millions of people lives
and enhanced their lifestyle because of the heavy investment of the STEM system.
Another drive for this trend, there are more job positions related to the scientific stream
because it is believed that they acted as a safeguard for building a better future.
Therefore, most of the parents and students are motivated to concentrate on having a
career linked directly to these courses. For these reasons, scientific education plays a
key role in instilling the beliefs of its significance.
This direction has pushed the public away from the beauty and importance of the arts.
These literature have firmly shaped the identity of people; as result, it is an important
component of building a stable community. In other words, without the discovery of
historical tracks; human would never be able to understand how their predecessors
were working and living their lives. In addition, all type of arts has always considered as
entertainment that has helped people to enjoy their times. Being focused on scientific

information would have made the life of people more boring and depressed because
arts have a vital role in connecting them together intrinsically.
To sum up, Although scientific papers have gained popularity over other artistic subjects
works, it has negative consequences on the way how people are connected to their
past and present.

The personal information of many individuals is held by large internet


companies and organisations. Do you think the advantages of this
outweigh the disadvantages?

Many giant web business establishments possess personal data collected from millions
of their users all over the world. There must be some benefits and drawbacks of this
situation, but I believe the flaws of it will outweigh the advantages.
On the one hand, life will become more convenient if the number of internet-based firms
managing pieces of individual information increasing. This is because people will not
need to bring their physical identification or credit cards, which sometimes causes a
huge problem when lost. In fact, multiple businesses, banks, in particular, have started
to offer digital credit cards, and the feedback from their clients has been very positive as
the possibility of losing it is significantly low. Also, powerful security strategies can be
applied to protect the personal data, which is more reliable than the action individual
can take.
On the other hand, the concern about the leak of personal details and identity theft has
been growing. Most companies based on the internet try their utmost to build a strong
firewall, but it is also true that hackers' techniques are progressing. As a result, a single
day does not pass without news reporting that individuals' vital information, such as
bank account details, social registration numbers and so on. This is something that
should be worried because such data is traded in the black market and used for

international fraud, and the victims have no clue until the police approach to them.
In conclusion, there are both upsides and downsides of people's details being handled
by plenty of online companies. Therefore, it seems to me that we lose more than we
gain from personal data collection done by independent business organisations due to
a higher chance of leakage and involvement in the rime.

Some think scientists should be allowed to send messages into


space to communicate with other life forms while others believe this
is too dangerous. Discuss both sides and give your opinion.

Several scientists consider that would be possible interaction with aliens such as send
messages into space, whilst others claim that this method is so endangered for the
earth. In my opinion, communication is the right election via other life forms which has a
load of benefits to the terrestrial globe.
On the one hand, the number of scientists vigorously stand against interactive relation
associated with extra-terrestrial. According to them, it is the modality that so tough
procedure due to Earth-like planets so a long way off from earth surface. For instance, if
scientists dispatched message or anything to other planets, it would take hundreds or
thousands years to approach them. Furthermore, Scientists belief are that we have not
any cognizance on how to correspond with all the species on Earth. Subsequently,
under no circumstances should approve to intercommunicate with extra-terrestrials.
On the other hand, I share the opinion of those who contend that communication has
plenty of advantageous along with the terrestrial globe. Firstly, we could improve our
knowledge through learning new qualifications which attempt to interact with aliens.
In other words, if we telecommunicate with them, we will chance to mature to
unimagined both resources and data. Consequently, by means of all of the inputs,we
might realize to our life, space and needs to encounter other habitable planets.
In addition, definitely,it is the best way that to expedites into space to brings into the

In conclusion, despite the arguments assert by critics of interactive relation with aliens, I
would side with those who consider the most vital innovation for our earth.

The amount of drinkable water for people is decreasing. Why is this?


What can be done?

The level of Water is declining for the purpose of drinking among people. Although the
decrease of drinkable water’s amount has some specific reasons, the implementation of
certain measures can be effective to solve this problem.
To initiate the reasons that are responsible for the decrease in the extent of drinkable
drink. The first and foremost cause is domestic and industrial waste. To explain, when
the misuse material is released by the growing number of industries and people at
homes, it is dumped into the canals, rivers, and seas rather than throwing somewhere
else that are the major source for providing rain to people. As a result, the waste
materials mix with the fresh water and makes it polluted that leads to the fall of the
amount of freshwater among people. For instance, the popular seas such as Ganga,
Yamuna, and Saraswati as well as Brahmaputra river were considered to be very
popular in the past because of the major source of freshwater, but nowadays, all these
have been polluted by throwing industrial and household waste.
Despite the causes, there is a number of solutions for solving the declining problem of
drinkable drink. The primary one is to take strict actions by the government. To
elaborate, while throwing the misuse ,whether it is industrial or domestic, the high
authority must fine the people, whereby the individuals may be committed to throwing
the waste somewhere else or recycle it instead of the major sources of freshwater rain
such as rivers, canals , and seas. For instance, the western countries, which are very
strict in terms of protecting natural resources, especially rain, have a large amount of
natural drinkable water without any purifiers.

In conclusion, though the industrial and household waste are the two major reasons for
the fall in the supply of drinkable drink, the involvement of government might be
effective by taking strict actions to solve this issue.

It is sometimes suggested that primary schoolchildren should learn


how to grow vegetables and keep animals. Do you think that the
advantages of this outweigh the disadvantages?

Some people thought which elementary schooler should sturdy include growing
vegetables and save animals. I think I agree with this statement that the advantages
rather than the disadvantages, and will give my reasons below.
To begin with, there are for children's mental health. Many children could feel happy to
grow vegetables and save dogs or cats. According to a survey conducted by a major
newspaper named KOREA TIMES in 2020, approximately 80% of respondents who
were experts in researchers of children's action said that it could be more strength
children's mental health. This is mean that they should merit to learn how to grow
vegetables and save animals.
In addition, if many children learn to grow and save species, our society becomes more
heath. Because sometimes they are going to adult and its remember how to love
species, also their life will become happy, and our life too. Nevertheless, other people
consider the disadvantages of that save and keep species, it is waste of time, this is a
way to make our healthy society. we more develop similar education courses. that is our
mandate.
To sum up, there are some valid explanations of why learning how to grow vegetables
and save animals. This mean is the advantages of this outweigh the disadvantages.
Therefore should learn it to adult, it is necessary education for all individual on earth.
Please remember we are one of many species on the ground.

Some feel executives in large companies should receive high salaries


while others think they are paid too much compared to ordinary
workers. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

Many believe that high-ranking executive positions deserve their exorbitant salaries,
while others feel they earn disproportionately compared to normal workers. In my
opinion, outsized compensation is unreasonable in a vacuum but makes sense given
market dictates.
Detractors often argue the ratios defy justification. Recent publications have quoted
figures showing executive positions, and CEOs, in particular, makes hundreds of times
what the average worker does. This includes their various remuneration packages and
bonuses. It is hard to claim this money is deserved. Many CEOs work longer hours and
graduated from top schools but their tangible impact can be marginal relative to the key
driving forces behind product development and the many hard-working employees
required for a business to thrive. Even the most ardent supporters of these practices
would not claim their output is hundreds of times higher than a normal employee.
Nonetheless, this practice follows the basic principles of supply and demand. The
simple fact is that there is a nearly endless supply of average individuals to staff entry-
level positions but capable executives are rarer. These high-ranking jobs require an
extraordinary commitment in terms of hours that most are unwilling to invest and
exceptional character qualities ranging from leadership skills to raw intelligence. Since
the top positions in a company are hard to fill and the company has the finances to pay
premium wages, it is logical that executive salaries outrage many workers and their
bonuses that appear unjust. In fact, these payments have little relationship with justice
and more to do with the economic realities of capitalism.
In conclusion, though their salaries seem outlandish, executives are more difficult to
replace and deserve higher pay. This is an uncomfortable, but crucial, truth for the
average person to accept.

Studies show that crime rates are lower among those with
educational degrees. Therefore, the best way to reduce the crime rate
is to educate criminals while they are still in prison. To what extent do
you agree or disagree?

Education is the road to success. It has been proven that people with an education are
less likely to be involved in criminal activities. Some hold the view that training prisoners
while in prison will cut back on wrongdoing. I agree with this statement, but it should not
be the only option to reduce crime. In this essay, I will discuss why training should be a
priority in the rehabilitation of criminals and prevention option that can be taken to
prevent lawlessness.
A Parolee commonly finds it difficult to make a living once set free from jail, especially if
they have no skills behind their names. Empowering an inmate with a degree or even a
trade will benefit their lifestyle once they are released into society. In other words, with
some form of training, they will be more likely to be employed. Once they earn an
income and can support themselves, the change becomes slim for them to be
rearrested. Most of the prisoners are in prison because of their circumstances and lack
education; as a result, they normally find themselves on the wrong side of the law. It is a
good thing to educate those that have been incarcerated to prepare them for the future.
However, as the saying goes, "Prevention is better than cure". Programs should be put
in place to help those unprivileged that do not have access to adequate schooling.
Helping those people with a better education could secure them a job, mitigating
criminal activities. Furthermore, the government should fund university and college
tuition fees to encourage people to improve themselves for a better future. For example,
once someone has secure a good lifestyle, will be reluctant to participate in any crime,
hence reducing the numbers of criminals in jail. Moreover is it critical that the leaders of
today should reduce unemployment, as this is the main reason why people get involved

in illegal actions.
In conclusion, as studies showed, there are fewer offenders among educated people.
Thus schooling convicts during their stay in jail is a good thing, as this provides some
hope whenever they will be set free. However; there should be other options in place to
prevent lawlessness in the first place.

Some believe that advances in technology are increasing the gap


between rich and poor while others think the opposite is happening.
Discuss both sides and give your own opinion.

Some people hold the belief that due to the development of technology the gap is
growing between the wealthy and poor, whereas others claim that the opposite
tendency is realizing. From my point of view, nowadays, this gap is decreasing because
of the various opportunities given to everyone.
On the one hand, there are several reasons why inequality between wealth and poor
increases. However, the main reason for this trend is the development of the
technology and production of devices that can be afforded by the rich person only. This
is because they earn a great amount of money and they can afford themselves to buy
these products. For instance, rich people can buy flexible and too expensive cars in
order to show their possession to the community. Thus, this tendency increases the wall
between wealth and poor.
On the other hand, the government for the majority of countries create opportunities for
everyone to afford them what they want. Consequently, banks and various companies
give people opportunities to buy everything that they want, nevertheless pay the money
within several months or even years. That’s why this gap is decreasing. For example,
banks give many types of loans and credit those who want to buy an expensive
smartphone or car and they are given the chance to pay the money within several
years.

1/5/2021 Gmail - Frequent Writing topics May 2020-Till Date

To sum up, it is worth to mention that in several cases this gap unfortunately expands,
although many infrastructures such as banks or loan companies give chance to
everyone to buy what they want which decreases this tendency and I hold the opinion
that it is only beneficial to break the wall between poor and rich.

Some believe that advances in technology are increasing the gap


between rich and poor while others think the opposite is happening.
Dicuss both sides and give your own opinion.

Nowadays, many believe that technological advancement is interconnecting the world


and inequality among the upper class and lower class is declining. Although , in my
opinion, the development is dividing society and discrimination has been shown
between wealthy and impoverished individuals. This essay will highlight both
statements before reaching the conclusion.
First, many discoveries in information technology and the availability of the internet
enables wealthier persons to assist financial victims. A tragedy, when posted on social
media, grab the attention of people, which results in cooperation and aid for the poor,
within a community or outside the nation. For example, by watching a video on
Facebook, a textile businessman in my area gave a ten lac cheque to a widow. She had
a chance to get the funds with the social platform. It proves that the technological
revolution brings poor closure to the rich. In addition, farmer revenues have upsurged
by modern technology allowing them to equalise socially and economically with the
well-off members of society.
However, I believe that the revolution in technology enables rich students to use
advance devices for their study. On the contrary, needy students cannot afford such
devices- even they don’t have access to the internet. As a result of inequality, one part
of society flourishes, while other is left behind. Undoubtedly, it has seen at the
international level also, where the developing counties, like Africa and other Asian

countries,lack technological advancement and economic inequality is growing


drastically.The reason is that digital marketing is crucial for growing a country economy
and it’s unavailability often results in bankruptcy.
To conclude, I have the argument that the advances in technology divide the people
locally as well as internationally. Nevertheless, the revolution has many benefits , which
cannot be denied.

In the past, knowledge was contained in books. Nowadays,


knowledge is uploaded to the internet. Do the advantages of this
outweigh the disadvantages?

In this techno-savvy era, the usage of technology is increasing day-by-day. In these


days, most people have used the intent to get the information and knowledge rather
than using the books which is a part of the past now. This essay will discuss the
demerits of this trend in the terms of health and distraction towards unwanted content.
To begin with, the electronic tools are provided to help in these days regarding the
difficulty in any topic, but it is totally wrong to neglect the books. Because the overuse of
the internet can harm the eyes of the user from the brightness of the electronic tool.
For example, the youngsters are using their phones too much for Google and youtube
which affects their eyesight, and this is the reason behind the poor eyesight at an early
age.
Moreover, when someone will try to find any information on the Internet, then some
unnecessary ads will pop-ups and the are equal chances of distraction towards those
unwanted materials. For instance, when any website opens at the internet, then all-time
ads are there at the below of the page or might be in the corner of the screen with the
headings of 18+, and because of the animal nature of the human beings, we want to
open and see that. So, it will become the reason of distraction and the cause of getting
adult information at an early age.

To conclude, in this modern era, everyone is relying on technology. This essay


discussed that this trend is proved as harmful according to the eyesight and distraction
for the user. So, the disadvantages of this trend overweight the advantages.

In the past, knowledge was contained in books. Nowadays,


knowledge is uploaded to the internet. Do the advantages of this
outweigh the disadvantages?

Up until a decade ago, hardcover books were a major source of information


accompanied by certain other paper-based materials such as magazines, newspapers.
Nevertheless, with the innovation of electronic media, similar knowledge is now
available with mere a single tap on one’s mobile device. Whilst, some believe that the
aforementioned have some drawbacks, however, others, including me, entrust the
opposite. In this essay,we will discuss both these aspects along with some references.
Firstly, the evolution of the electronic media turned out to be a saviour for the
environment, since, with its introduction, a huge decline has been observed in cutting
down of the trees for making paper sheets. Secondly, the data available on the internet
tend to get updated quickly as compared to those of paperback. For example, a girl
browsing for a word in a dictionary will have to sort alphabetically which will consume
more time as compared to typing the similar word on the search engine and getting the
results in a fraction of seconds. Thereby, making it a time-saving activity which requires
very minimal effort.
On the other hand, it often becomes difficult to identify genuine websites among the
cluster of fake profiles, besides, a wrong click may push the user into a zone of cyber-
attack unknowingly. Although, there is an abundance of data available on the internet
by so many anonymous users that it becomes difficult to validate their authenticity.
For instance, a non-technical person will not be able to comprehend the nuances
between a genuine and a fraudulent website, hence, eventually may end up losing all

his or her credit card information, personal details and so on. Furthermore, staying
online for longer hours can pressurize our eyes immensely, as a result, speeding up the
process of declining one’s mental and physical health.
To conclude, it is an individual’s responsibility to upgrade his or her knowledge about
the ongoing advancements yet parallelly steer clear of dangers as well. Additionally,
awareness must be promoted by the authorities to every citizen by initially encouraging
them to use the technology wisely following with the knowledge of its ill-effects. After all,
modern problems require a modern approach. In a nutshell, I strongly opine that the
advantages outnumber the disadvantages in this given scenario.

In the past, most people worked for small businesses, while more
people now work for large businesses. What are the advantages and
disadvantages of working for large businesses?

Present-day workers often opt to pursue careers with well-known businesses as


opposed to working for small-time businesses such as in the past. Big enterprises offer
job security, although life in the workplace tends to be more stressful.
The advantages often relate to professional stability. Large businesses rely heavily on
the number of their front-liners and without them, their business will suffer, thereby
lessening the maximum potential income they can get. Due to this, employees do not
need to worry about losing their jobs. At the same time, career advancement is almost
always a possibility when working for large companies. The more employees a
company has, the more managers will be needed to supervise the overall operation of
the businesses and this opens up doors for workers who want to advance their careers.

the UK have 38% managerial roles as compared to 15%, from start-up companies.

Getting promotions are one of the biggest motivators for hard work in
the modern workplace. Why are people so driven to receive
promotions? What other factors motivate people to work hard?

It is believed that getting promoted is the most important reason that motivates
employees. Getting promotions might be a reason to work harder, however,there are
some other reasons such as companies' benefit and inspirations from working.
Many people want to receive promotions in order to satisfy their ambitious as well as to
earn more money. For example, getting promotions usually mean that they have
delivered the work with high quality. Furthermore, getting promotions usually come with
earning more money so many companies use this as a primary method to encourage
their workers. At the same time, many take promotions as the most important concern
when looking for jobs.
There are other reasons which motivate employees to spend extra efforts. Many tech
companies provide attractive benefits in their offices to engage employees.
For example, they may provide entertainment areas or high-quality foods to keep
everyone enjoys being in the offices. As a result, these offers can boost productivities
and creativity. Another fact that worth mentioning are inspirations from employers'
products or visions. Many employees want to stay with their company because they
believe in their culture and future. Therefore, they may want to contribute more to their
achievements. For the reasons mentioned, it is clear that promotions might not be the
only reason to motive people.

Some countries invest in specialized sports facilities for top athletes


but not for the average people. Is this a positive or negative
development?

A certain number of nations allocate funds for professional athletic facilities, which are
available only for first-class sportspeople, but not for ordinary citizens. In my opinion, it
is rather an unfavourable development than a positive one.
First, the government should take care of the health and physical development of all
citizens and not only sports elites. This is because every working citizen pays taxes and
should have equal rights for social amenities including specialized sports centres. Thus,
funding of special-purpose sports facilities might be considered as social inequality,
especially if they were not available for a regular person. For example, when I had
decided to start jogging, I was completely frustrated by the fact that a running ring with
an excellent soft covering was not allowed for training if a person was not a member of
the national team.
Some people might argue that top athletes should have priority because they represent
a country on the world stage. However, despite the fact that international competitions
and the reputation of the country are important, investing in professionals' needs only
does not pay off in the long term because the construction and maintenance of sports
halls are highly expensive. Meanwhile, modern society has other crucial issues, which
are in demand for funds such as the health care system, city infrastructure, and
environmental issues.
In conclusion, I think that the latest tendency among certain governments to invest in
sports facilities for superior sportspersons leaving average people behind is a negative

trend because every citizen should have equal rights. Moreover, in terms of revenue
from international events funding of these elite sport objects is not profitable.

companies around the world are using plastic for storing and transporting their
products. Although many are against it, I firmly opine that the merit of companies using
plastic containers clearly outweighs its demerits. In the below essay, I will discuss both
the views with examples.
On the other hand, those who argue against it suggest that it creates environmental
pollution. After usage, consumers throw away these containers, which are later eaten
by stray and wildlife animals. Plastics also take a large amount of time to decompose,
which causes a pile of garbage. However, the root cause of this issue is consumer
themselves. After consumption, customers should be made aware of the proper usage
of plastics. Companies are promoting a campaign to promote such awareness.
For example, Coca-cola has urged its customer to return their cans to shops, and
eventually, the consumer will get some rewards. Hence, companies are using a different
medium to inform the customer regarding proper handling of plastics, which is the
leading cause of environmental pollution.
On the other hand, The usage of plastic containers is highly economical for beverages
companies. In other words, plastics have less weight as compared to other packaging
materials. Hence it lowers the final product costs. Reduction in transportation cost is
also feasible as these containers take less space, which aids in transporting a larger
number of final goods in the domestic market, as well as benefitting the organisation in
increasing its export profit margin. In addition, plastic containers also aid in providing

final products to customer in varied size and shapes. It is beneficial for the consumer to
choose material as per their packaging requirement.
In conclusion, for companies plastics containers are highly economical, though they
damage the environment, companies are making their customer self-aware regarding
the handling of these plastics. Thus, the merits of the usage of plastics by companies
clearly outweigh the disadvantages.

Some think the current generation should take steps to protect the
environment for the next generation. To what extent do you agree or
disagree?

Over the past few decades, there has been an enormous amount of increase in
pollution and global temperature. This has grown concerns among people and made
them contemplate regarding the future. While some individuals believe that the present
generation should undertake measures to preserve and protect the environment for the
next generations, others think that it is redundant. I assert the former opinion because it
is our responsibility to facilitate a sustainable ecosystem for ourselves and the future. In
this essay, we shall elaborate on this topic further.
Firstly, with the rise in population, there has been a significant increase in its after-
effects as well. If these problems are not resolved or reduced over time, it would create
a deteriorating condition for us as well as for our next of kin to survive. Hence, we are
obliged to do something like our ancestors did for us. For instance, numerous historians
have quoted that the previous generations made various sacrifices by going to wars,
discovering alternate resources, and inventing new ones so that people in the future
could live in peace and serenity. As a result, we ought to the same for the next
generation.
Another reason for this is that it would encourage and influence other people to
preserve and protect the environment. Furthermore, it will teach them the value and

importance to have a healthy ecosystem, and how it affects people and nature when
there are any changes in it; for example, global warming has affected not only human
but animals as well. Moreover, as water levels are spiking exponentially, both animals
and humans are losing a tremendous amount of land. Consequently, an individual
should leave a legacy behind by contributing to the welfare of its people.
To reiterate, for your tomorrow, they gave their today. Therefore, it is our responsibility
to take measures to preserve our planet so that it benefits and inspires them to carry
the same legacy.

In many workplaces, online communication is now more common


than face-to-face meeting. Do the advantages of this trend outweigh
the disadvantages?

Nowadays, Technology is being more important in our lifestyle, meetings, orders,


working from home... everything is being done through the internet. From my
perspectives, and due to the current life situation, using virtual communication is the
most useful benefit, but, I will elaborate on the advantages and disadvantages of this
argument.
Firstly, on the one hand, Covid-19 pandemic spread out and oblige all organizations
and companies, Private and Public sectors, to work indirectly through connecting to a
network. Accordingly, most of the communications, requests, orders were done through
online emails. In addition, all sessions were conducted through a video call invitation.
For example, a company organized a video call, invited more than twelve-member to
attend this committee, the organizer can send the invitation by a website link, and
accordingly, all can be present at this panel from their own place. Moreover, currently,
all school are giving lessons through the internet, and teachers are inviting their
students daily for more than hours by sending them a video call link, in order to invite
them to attend the lesson explanation. Besides, the majority of the students or
https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0?ik=a29b1ba1d0&view=pt&search=all&permthid=thread-a%3Ar-4707050331545963711&simpl=msg-a%3Ar-470539… 33/86
1/5/2021 Gmail - Frequent Writing topics May 2020-Till Date

employees are feeling more comfortable for these virtual meetings, as they are staying
at their accommodation, with their family, have their own space without any interruptions
from others.
From the other hand, Global network is keeping people away from each other, working
independently, staying at all the time. however, this has a negative impact on the
personality, as human need always to spend time with others face-to-face, discussing
life problems, in contrast, attend indirectly for most of the time, may occur fears in the
person. For example, it would be hard to attend physically at work because an
employee will feel strange in his place, missing the communication in dealing with
colleagues face-to-face and forgotten the work activities.
As a conclusion, It clearly appears that the advantages and the positive effect of the
online meetings have outweighed the disadvantages, especially in our days, within the
Coronavirus life situation, and because of this, the internet will be kept the best ever
way of communication.

In many countries, traditional foods are being replaced by fast food.


This has a negative impact on families, individuals, and society. To
what extent do you agree or disagree?

Nowadays, the generation appears keen to prefer fast foods rather than their own
native foods. Therefore, this adaptation, in particular, may not be beneficial for the
youths, as traditional foods tend to lose its existence could be a sign of detachment
from one’s culture. I completely agree that it has a counter impact on our society.
On the one hand, junk foods are considered as one of the favourite meals of the
majority. However, it is the least suggested diet by dieticians or health advisors.
Furthermore, these types of beverages are responsible for many emerging diseases,
one of them is obesity. For example, pizzas and burgers have a humungous amount of
fat. Although it tastes delicious, it causes an increase in weight, which is not good for
https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0?ik=a29b1ba1d0&view=pt&search=all&permthid=thread-a%3Ar-4707050331545963711&simpl=msg-a%3Ar-470539… 34/86

health.
One the other hand, the local foods contain a balanced amount of protein, vitamins, etc.
which is important for us to consume in order to be fit and active. Hence, these types of
meals do not cause dizziness and help us perform our day to day activities without
feeling lazy. These items also have medicinal properties that guard us against minor
viral diseases. For instance, having a glass of milk with turmeric in a day saves us from
throat infections and strengthens our immunity.
In conclusion, our priority should be keeping ourselves active and healthy, so that we
can get indulged in a plethora of activities without feeling restless and stressed. For this
reason, it is a must for us to vouch on traditional food and lesser on fast food. Thus, a
happy mind mitigates stress and motivate us to live for a longer period of time.

Some educators believe that every child should be taught how to play
a musical instrument. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

In the modern world, music is everywhere. Meanwhile, debaters argue that whether
every teenager should need to learn a musical instrument. This essay will certainly
explore that although every child should be taught playing a musical instrument
because music is a big part of the entertainment, however, as some individual might not
be comfortable in playing a musical instrument, so it is better to not make it mandatory
for every child to learn.
On the one hand, every adolescent or child must need to learn a musical instrument as
music is a big part of the entertainment. Also, tune helps to make people relax, and it
also facilitates concentrating more on individual study or work. To clarify more,
Colleagues in my office always use headphones to listen to music because they believe
that it would refresh their mind as well as help to make more focus on their work
activities.
On the other hand, some individuals may not be comfortable in learning a musical

instrument as they don't have any interest in singing. Furthermore, they will feel a
burden, if they pressurized by teachers. For example, in some schools in India, learning
musical instruments is a mandatory subject. It has been reported that almost 30% of
students in those schools take it as a burden, as they are not comfortable in learning a
musical instrument.
In conclusion, music is one of the major aspects of our daily life. This essay elaborates
as music is a big part of the entertainment, so learning a musical device is essential for
children but on the contrary, it should not be necessary for children to learn or some
children might not be comfortable in playing a musical instrument. In the future,
education systems should keep these above factors in their mind before taking a
decision regarding learning a musical instrument.

Some people believe that the government should spend more money
putting in more works of art like paintings and statues in cities to
make them better places to live in. To what extent do you agree or
disagree?

It is undeniable that paintings and art reflected the culture of a country. Whereas some
people believe that the government should spend more money on these works, while it
is a positive development, I believe that this money should also be spent on
infrastructure.
To begin with, it has been obvious that the work of art such as building a statue is an
extremely helpful idea in terms of tourists’ attractions. The reason behind this is that
many tourists will have the motivation to visit a certain country to see its sightseeing,
and thus much more revenues will be added to a country’s budget. In other words, the
vast majority of people who visit New York City as tourism will not leave the state
without having seen the statue. This statue added more and more benefits to the city.
Having said that, if the government does not spend more on these statues, people will

https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0?ik=a29b1ba1d0&view=pt&search=all&permthid=thread-a%3Ar-4707050331545963711&simpl=msg-a%3Ar-470539… 36/86
1/5/2021 Gmail - Frequent Writing topics May 2020-Till Date

not be able to recognize a city.


Moreover, by spending more money on this kind of art, many artists will be encouraged
to work harder and harder to grow a country’s culture. Therefore, this will also assist
them in improving their income. For instance, Italy is well-know for its artists. This is
because its government motivated the artists by allowing them to present their paints in
every road and most crowded areas without being taxed or fined. Due to this, Italy is
now of the most beautiful countries in the world. Nevertheless, the government should
also be generous on infrastructure. Roads, bridges and even buildings should also be
maintained to reflect its beauty.
In conclusion, although spending more money on art is beneficial in terms of revenues
and improving one’s life, the government should not neglect the maintenance of other
aspects.

When a person spends most of his or her time working a job with
little job satisfaction, their life loses meaning. To what extent do you
agree or disagree?

There is an opinion that spending the whole day long 6 days a week at work, which
does not bring us any satisfaction, affects our purpose of life. I somehow agree with this
opinion because work occupies a significant amount of time and if somebody feels
unhappy during it, almost their whole life is spent in misery.
First, it is true that the most enjoyable moments of our lives are spent with our friends
and families. However, our occupation and time spent at work play a great part in our
well-being and sense of fulfilment from life. For instance, if a person works at a daunting
and unaspiring job at the end of the day they will feel completely drained and they will
not have enough energy for an active life apart from their job. Thus, it is hugely
important that work is rewarding and brings a sense of satisfaction.
Nevertheless, the sense of meaningful life depends on a person’s outlook on life. Some
https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0?ik=a29b1ba1d0&view=pt&search=all&permthid=thread-a%3Ar-4707050331545963711&simpl=msg-a%3Ar-470539… 37/86
1/5/2021 Gmail - Frequent Writing topics May 2020-Till Date

people approach life as a positive experience, while others as a negative one. That is
why those who have a positive outlook on life always have goals and plans for a future
even if work does not give satisfaction to them. In contrast, pessimistic people even
having a rewarding job can feel frustration and emptiness of life. For instance, one of
my friends always complained about her job and lack of purpose in life but after a
course with a psychologist, she realized that she has a well-paid job that makes it
possible to purchase whatever she wants and travel and she is satisfied now.
In conclusion, I agree that work is very important for our sense of fulfilment in our lives.
However, it is not one only factor because a person's state of mind contributes to it as
well.

Historical objects should be brought back to their country of origin.


To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Some people opine that the historical artefacts should be returned to the country of
origin which were captured during wars or colonialization while others argue that it
should remain where it is right now. I agree with the former view and this essay will
discuss the reasons in brief.
Firstly, many people have sentiments and emotions attached to the objects which were
taken away from their country in the past. Besides, this also exhibits the nation history
and cultural values. For example, during the British rule in India, the idol of Lord Vishnu
was stolen from the temple and is now being displayed in a museum of London. Many
people believe that the ideal place of the statue should be the temple from where it was
stolen rather than a museum. Due to this many Indian citizens are putting pressure on
the government to bring those items back.
Secondly, these items can be used as a remedy for building and improving the
relationship between the two countries. Also, it helps to bring peace and harmony
between them. For example, when the ties between France and Egypt were not at their
https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0?ik=a29b1ba1d0&view=pt&search=all&permthid=thread-a%3Ar-4707050331545963711&simpl=msg-a%3Ar-470539… 38/86
1/5/2021 Gmail - Frequent Writing topics May 2020-Till Date

best, Prime minister of France decided to return mummies which were captured during
World War I to Egypt in order to normalise their relationship. Due to this gesture of
goodwill, bilateral talks resumed between these two sovereign states after a decade.
To conclude, bringing back the historical artefacts not only boost the relationship
between states but also brings happiness in the society as many sentiments and culture
values are attached to it.

These days more fathers stay at home and take care of their children
while mothers go out to work. What could be the reasons for this? Do
you think it is a positive or a negative development?

A question many of us have to ask yourself whether the discrepancy between father
and mother roles in ranging from work to family. I am inclined to believe that for the time
being, father still needs to satisfy himself for the sacks of his own family members.
Hardly can we deny that in the 21 century, women have acquired their rights in order to
be equal as men, which they have never had before except raising their children.
To assess this prevailing trend, we must bring the advantages of letting a father take
their responsibilities as their ancestors have done. Assuming when a man went to work
on a daily basis, a woman would have a lot of free time for her children and get stuff off
her chest through calling to friendships without being exhausted to solve working
problematic issues. In fact, there are tons of thousands of leisure indoor activities which
will help her relax after doing house chores such as playing online games, singing a
favourite song or even reading a comedy novel. Not only can she make good traditional
dishes for herself or family, but she can also teach her child to learn a new language
that no mother who is stuck with business things can do. In addition, it has become too
tricky for everyone, especially a father, to play a crucial role in motherhood.
Although so far, one can readily draw the conclusion that a father has greater chances
https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0?ik=a29b1ba1d0&view=pt&search=all&permthid=thread-a%3Ar-4707050331545963711&simpl=msg-a%3Ar-470539… 39/86
1/5/2021 Gmail - Frequent Writing topics May 2020-Till Date

to get a well-paid job instead of a mother, we must put the advantages of a mother
chasing after her dream career into perspective before judging whether it is necessary
or not. There are many troublesome phrases in a successful working path that a man
has to go through, but a woman does not have to in life such as persuading her
partners or colleagues to cooperate without sweating. For instance, many women have
never struggled to get her boss' trust or approval and made tremendous progress in the
workplace. On top of that, there are learning opportunities as well as opportunities to do
more networking for the women. So many doors are opened and many links are
established when you are born as a female.
Taking both sides into consideration, they point me to the conclusion that this
phenomenon has recently gained much attention from the social society and let us
know women have their rights to go to work as men.

Some people say that supermarkets and manufacturers have a


responsibility to reduce the amount of packaging on products they
sell. Others believe that it is the consumer’s responsibility to avoid
buying products which have a lot of packaging.

It is often argued that curtailing the over-packaging of products is the onus of


supermarkets and manufacturers rather than consumers. From my point of view, I am
largely in agreement with the latter viewpoint.
On the one hand, supermarkets and manufacturers are responsible for using less
packaging because they are the ones who have instituted unnecessary packaging on a
large scale. There is no discernible reason, in light of its dire environmental impact, that
toothpaste manufacturers have historically chosen to pack tubes in extra boxes or
supermarkets have opted to wrap bananas and apples in Styrofoam trays, covered with
plastic. These redundant practices contribute greatly to both the initial production of
plastic and its subsequent disposal in landfills. Since supermarkets and manufacturers

https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0?ik=a29b1ba1d0&view=pt&search=all&permthid=thread-a%3Ar-4707050331545963711&simpl=msg-a%3Ar-470539… 40/86
1/5/2021 Gmail - Frequent Writing topics May 2020-Till Date

are the ones with the power to reform their own policies, it is only logical that they
should be responsible.
On the other hand, only consumers can force the hands of large corporations by
boycotting their products. This is best evidenced in cities where it used to be common
to package fruits and vegetables in plastic, such as Chiang Mai in Thailand. Consumer
awareness movements among locals have had a discernible impact on companies. It is
now much more common to find bananas bare or simply wrapped in natural leaves and
vegetables tied together with a single piece of string to lessen their environmental
footprint. This same practice employed in cities around the world will have the largest
possible impact on the environment.
In conclusion, the only pragmatic way to persuade shareholder–controlled corporations
to reform packaging policies is by putting consumer pressure on their bottom lines. If
customers make more of an effort to steer clear of heavily packaged products in favour
of more environmentally conscious ones, this will lead to a shift in thinking when it
comes to the environmental toll of plastics.

Many companies sponsor sports as a way of advertising themselves.


Some people think this is good for the world of sport, while others
think it is a negative. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

It is increasingly common that many companies advertise themselves by sponsoring


sports. While some people believe that this trend is negative, I would argue that it is a
beneficial form in terms of the sport industry.
Firstly, it is important to consider that the sports industry is one of the most tremendous
industries in the world. However, these companies, and sometimes countries might be
contributed with financial corruptions or even monopoly. Many reports show that there is
an extreme conflict between Qatar and the KSA for the ownership of the broadcasting
rights as Qatar, at the moment, is controlling the broadcasting all over the world, even in
https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0?ik=a29b1ba1d0&view=pt&search=all&permthid=thread-a%3Ar-4707050331545963711&simpl=msg-a%3Ar-470539… 41/86
1/5/2021 Gmail - Frequent Writing topics May 2020-Till Date

Europe. Consequently, the main benefit behind sports is becoming far less important
than its real concept which can be resulted in corruption and its financial consequences.
Nevertheless, many companies are investing in the recruitment of well-played players
and athletes in terms of advertising and thus gaining high revenues. Adidas,
for instance, makes a huge amount of profit every year by sponsoring the iconic Leonel
Messi. Leonel Messi is considered to have a legendary left foot that let him score
superb goals and therefore this has made Adidas adding more and more profit as he
continues to score more and more goals. For this reason, many companies such as:
Nike, Kelme and even the Italian manufacturer Puma are competing annually to
sponsor him by offering such a mouthwatering incentive.
In conclusion, despite troubles and financial dangers which might result by some
countries, I believe that advertising has such a great effect on athletes and players.

Crime & Punishment Some people believe that there should be a fixed
punishment for each type of crime. Others, however, argue that the
circumstances of an individual crime, and the motivation for
committing it, should always be taken into account when deciding on
the punishment. Discuss both of these two views and give your own
opinion. Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant
examples from your own knowledge or experience.

Some people argue whether criminals must always subject to fixed punishment for
certain crimes, or whether situations for committing the offence should be taken into
account before inflicting sanction. This essay will examine both sides of the argument
and outline my opinion.
On the one hand, criminal activities have reduced significantly over the centuries in the
history of humankind. Fixed punishments like the death penalty, life imprisonment for
drug trafficking deter an offender from such heinous crimes. The ruthlessness of such

https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0?ik=a29b1ba1d0&view=pt&search=all&permthid=thread-a%3Ar-4707050331545963711&simpl=msg-a%3Ar-470539… 42/86
1/5/2021 Gmail - Frequent Writing topics May 2020-Till Date

harsh punishments ensured safety and security in the society. For instance, according
to a publication on criminal justice from the C.I.A, Saudi Arabia has been consistently
ranked top regarding achieving a low-crime index due to its aggressive law for enforcing
fixed punishments for designated crimes. Nevertheless, the main objective of the law
and order is to protect the innocents and punish the wrong doers. The fixed penalizing
often contradicts with the fundamental objective of the civil society.
On the other hand, persecuting a convict violate human rights; often without considering
the aspects leading to such violation. Consider Saudi Arabia, ranked as the country with
the lowest crime index in the world. The state’s implementation of a strict fundamentalist
approach to persecute criminals regardless the circumstances of the misdeed has
drawn flak from many human rights organisations. Amnesty International reported that
fair trials are prohibited to criminals even if they are wrongly convicted. Finally, in my
opinion, a convicted person should be given punishment only based on the
circumstances and severity of the crime. For example, if someone murders in the act of
self-defence, the verdict given should not amount to a life-sentence.
To conclude, inflicting fixed punishments may increase the safety and security of the
society; however, it also violates the human rights a suspect is legally entitled to.

In some places, young people find it difficult to communicate with


older people. Why is this? What are the solutions?
It is true that the younger generation have totally different thoughts and behaviours than
older generations. These thoughts and behaviours differ in many ways and,in my
opinion, they cause some issues to our communities. Let me elaborate.

To begin with, the thoughts and behaviours of younger generations vary in many ways
from those of older generations. Firstly, there is a huge difference in how older and
younger generations generate their ideas. For example, in my home country of Sudan,
older people always consult their friends if they have any thought, while younger

https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0?ik=a29b1ba1d0&view=pt&search=all&permthid=thread-a%3Ar-4707050331545963711&simpl=msg-a%3Ar-470539… 43/86
1/5/2021 Gmail - Frequent Writing topics May 2020-Till Date

generation depend on the internet for generating their ideas. As a result, older
generations’ thoughts are better than those of younger generation because not all
information on the internet is accurate. Furthermore, older generations generate
thoughts from their personal stories. Inventors such as Newton benefited us by making
ideas out of their stories. So, there are many differences in how older and younger
generations generate their thoughts.

Although variations in thought and behaviours between generations have benefits, they
cause some problems to our communities. First of all, such variations can make
communication between older and younger people more difficult because there are
differences in how they think and behave. This can cause problems to our communities.
In addition, such variations could make people disrespect each other as some people
might not appreciate and respect different ideas and behaviours and this can lead to
disagreements within communities.

To sum up, thoughts and behaviours of younger generation vary in many ways from
those of older generations. Lack of communication and disagreement within
communities are some issues this kind of variation causes.

Many people think technological devices such as smart phones,


tablets and mobile phones bring more disadvantages than
advantages. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

In recent years, smartphones became a massive trend among all people. There are
some people who believe that they can cause harm more than be useful to their
owners, while others disagree. I tend to agree with the latter statement and I will
support my view with arguments.
There is no doubt that the “Fear of Missing Out (FOMO)” is a huge concern among
educators. FOMO is caused by the addiction that social media provides to their users.

https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0?ik=a29b1ba1d0&view=pt&search=all&permthid=thread-a%3Ar-4707050331545963711&simpl=msg-a%3Ar-470539… 44/86

For instance, many people spend most of their time with their faces almost attached to
their smartphones screens, scrolling the news feed that never ends and desperately
seeking for their followers' likes on their publications. Those who argue that these
devices are causing havoc to their owners claim that these gadgets are guilty for this
problem. However, this is like blaming a baseball bat for manslaughter. Had the tool
been used for its original purpose, never would we have been discussing such an
absurdity.
It is important to consider how our lives have improved with cutting edge technology.
Nowadays, we can get anywhere we want to go without worrying about the path: our
gadgets instantly lead us. Moreover, we are not forced to physically attend in several
situations due to the possibility of online conferences. To illustrate this, it is interesting to
notice how universities do not have to stop their lectures even during a pandemic. Are
they still providing knowledge to their students. Had this pandemic occurred a decade
ago, never would they have been able to continue with their activities. For this reason, I
strongly believe that tablets, smartphones and other similar devices are extremely
beneficial to humans.
In conclusion, even though harm can be caused by the misuse of any instrument, it is
undeniable the benefits that the rapid access to information of any kind and the
possibility of easy communication between any people caused by this technology is
terrific.

Many researchers believe that we can now study the behaviour of


children to see if they will grow up to be criminals, while others
disagree. To what extent do you think crime is determined by
genetics? Is it possible to stop children from growing up to be
criminals?

It is argued that, through scientific studies, a child's tendency to commit criminal


activities in their adulthood can now be predicted, while others, with an opposing view,

https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0?ik=a29b1ba1d0&view=pt&search=all&permthid=thread-a%3Ar-4707050331545963711&simpl=msg-a%3Ar-470539… 45/86
1/5/2021 Gmail - Frequent Writing topics May 2020-Till Date

say it otherwise. In my perspective, there is a little link between the genetic make-up
and criminal acts, and that there is a big chance that young people can lead a peaceful,
non-violent life through the right nurturing in which I will discuss further in this essay.
Throughout decades of researches, the question of nature versus nurture prevails.
Nature is synonymous to one's set of DNA that is passed from generation to generation,
while nurture conveys to one's upbringing. In the context of making a criminal, ones' set
of code has a tiny contribution. It is true that some moods and mannerisms are inherited
by the offsprings and it can be evident when they grow up, but people are also given
with rational thinking in order to execute life decisions. Through examples of adults
surrounding a child, it can either develop into a negative or positive circumstance,
hence nurturing. For example, there are twins who were separated at birth that
somehow got to meet each other and found out that they have the same gestures and
ways but have a totally different set of behaviour.
On the other hand, the younger population can grow up to be law-abiding citizens. As
stated above, nurturing a child is a necessary element in rearing years. The
fundamentals of making this happen are through the right guidance at a peaceful
setting where basic and emotional needs can be met.
In conclusion, scientists can gather various information about children's' personalities,
ways and thinking, but in my perspective, it is not the genes that can determine future
criminal activities but rather the environment and supervision a child gets. Ensuring a
safe place and correct upbringing, the actions that break the law can be prevented.

It is better for children if the whole family including aunts, uncles and
so on are involved in a child’s upbringing, rather than just their
parents. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

It is important to consider that raising up a child is one of the most major issues these
days. Whereas some people believe that children should be raised in a big family, I
https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0?ik=a29b1ba1d0&view=pt&search=all&permthid=thread-a%3Ar-4707050331545963711&simpl=msg-a%3Ar-470539… 46/86

would argue that, while it is helpful, it should be the parent’s task up to a point.
To begin with, one of the most significant advantages behind the parent’s growing
rather than a whole family is that the child can be easily controlled without the
interfering of others. This can add a lot to their mental and physical abilities. It has been
shown that multiple opinions can have an immensely negative impact on them as they
see themselves in chaos, especially in their teenage period. Not only this, but the high
age of a child’s relative plays a crucial role in bringing up a child. For instance, the
mental thinking and desires of a grandfather are different than a father or mother.
Nevertheless, nowadays, many parents have jobs and there should be an appropriate
place for their children to put them in. For this reason, some parents leave their children
at their relatives’ homes until having their work done. It is sometimes difficult for a child
to grow up at a nursery for a long period as not all parents can afford to pay the high
amount of these institutes. Having said that, some families do not rely much on the
hygiene and caring which are provided by these nursing homes. Therefore, they would
prefer to send them to their relatives in terms of more safety and more cleanliness.
In conclusion, although it is important that a child should be raised by their parents, the
benefits behind the raising of their relatives which result in extra caring and feeding
should be also taken into consideration.

Government should lower the budget on the arts in order to allocate


more money to education. To what extent do you agree?

It is often said that investing sizeable funds for education systems should be doubled
whereas the central government needs to reduce money to support arts. In my view, I
agree with the above statement and the reason for my inclination is articulated in the
following paragraphs.
The prime most advantage of spending huge money on education is the fact that it is
the fundamental necessity of society. Setting up a good learning system is a costly
https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0?ik=a29b1ba1d0&view=pt&search=all&permthid=thread-a%3Ar-4707050331545963711&simpl=msg-a%3Ar-470539… 47/86

process because there are several factors involved like the construction of school
buildings, salaries for staff, equipment, educational materials, etc. Moreover, educated
citizens are building blocks of a countries economy therefore common people will have
a better standard of life. For example, Canada is ranked the topmost educated country
in the world according to the World Education System. Due to the high literacy rate the
country's economy is the largest in the world.
On the other hand, art is a cup of tea for selected people. In other words, minimum
funding is required for the fine arts as few people are interested in this area. Also,
certain art forms are born from your family and by birth. For instance, Yesudas a
famous singer in Kerala, his son Vijay Yesudas is also known to be the top singer in the
Southern Part of India because of his voice. Few peoples are gifted with the talent of
singing.
To conclude, primary education is base for everything so authorities need to value the
system by providing full support. However, art should not be completely ignored.

Some people think governments should care more about elderly


while others think they should focus on investing in education for
younger people. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

Many argue that there should be higher financial support for the elderly because it is a
way of giving back for their services. While others, with an opposing view, debate that it
should be allocated primarily on the education of the younger population as they serve
as the hope of the future generation. In my opinion, both populations should have
adequate attention in which I will discuss in detail in the following essay.
To provide a larger budget for older people is like paying back for their services when
they were on their youth. It is because of their hard work, intellectual inputs and
investments why the current generation enjoys today's luxuries or advance technologies
they have at present. Because of their old age, with their weaken strength, they are not

able to hold jobs and earn anymore, that is why it is essential that the government
ensure their wellbeing. For instance, the national health insurance in the Philippines
makes sure that all their senior citizens are presently benefiting from free
hospitalizations and check-ups which was previously of charge.
However, education for the youngs needs adequate funding as well. The knowledge
and skills that the greater youth will gather in current time will have an impact in the
future ahead. They will be the one who will run a nation or the world in a larger scale,
and it is in their governance and leadership how the coming years will unfold, either it
will be progressive or stagnant. For instance, most Southeast Asian countries years
back lack educational support and that is why most of these lands remain to be third-
world countries evident by a poor economy.
In conclusion, in my perspective, honouring the previous efforts and sacrifices of our
elderly by means of providing more care is essential. Nonetheless, investing for their
younger counterparts' education is of levelled importance for the youth are the hope of
the future. Both sectors should have a fair piece of the pie.

Governments in many countries have recently introduced special


taxes on foods and beverages with high levels of sugar some think
these taxes are a good idea while others disagree. Discuss both
views and give your own opinion

In this technological world, most of the population is involved in sedentary work which
has ultimately increased the consumption of edibles containing large amounts of sugar.
In order to prevent this, the government of several countries had imposed special taxes.
Some people opine that it is a good idea while others disagree. This essay intends to
analyse both perspectives. I, personally side with the latter.
To commence with, people agree with the authorities for levying taxes for following
reasons. Firstly, sugary drinks are the major contributor to the leading problems such as

https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0?ik=a29b1ba1d0&view=pt&search=all&permthid=thread-a%3Ar-4707050331545963711&simpl=msg-a%3Ar-470539… 49/86
1/5/2021 Gmail - Frequent Writing topics May 2020-Till Date

obesity and diabetes. So the government aims to promote healthy food choices and
reduce over-consumption and halt this epidemic by taxation on these products. This will
make people think twice before buying them. Moreover, money made from this can be
exploited for the country's development.
On the other hand, inflation on other products is already a problem among citizens. It is
not good for the individuals. For instance, in a typical Indian household, there is only
one source of income which involves fulfilling everyone's need. Further more, the prices
of sugar have been rising significantly over the decades, but the rate of consumption
has stagnated if not increased. So until the people are not made aware, the increase in
tax would be a step in the wrong direction.
In a nutshell, I believe that people must be enlightened about the problems that sugary
food and beverages bring so that they become more cautious and adopt a healthy
routine. The authorities can tax these products at decent rates, but keeping in mind the
other variables.

Many people think technological devices such as smart phones,


tablets and mobile phones bring more disadvantages than
advantages. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Technology has been present in society more than ever. There are a lot of people who
argue that electronic devices lead to more drawbacks rather than benefits. I totally
disagree with the statement because those gadgets enable distant relatives getting
closer and also decrease the educational barrier.
The main reason that I believe that technological devices bring more advantages is that
they help people who live far away keeping in contact, despite the distance. These days
even more countries are receiving immigrants and foreigner students, so the easiest
way to remain the communication with family is through technology. For instance, in the
past people used to write letters which took months to arrive, but nowadays, just by a
click on the screen they can share experiences and see each other at real-time.
https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0?ik=a29b1ba1d0&view=pt&search=all&permthid=thread-a%3Ar-4707050331545963711&simpl=msg-a%3Ar-470539… 50/86
1/5/2021 Gmail - Frequent Writing topics May 2020-Till Date

In addition, technology has been changing how people learn and also transforming
teaching methods from institutions. This is because smartphones and tablets provide to
people the opportunity to watch recorded and live classes and search for courses
worldwide, without any necessity of a classroom. To illustrate that, the Brazilian
educational system is streaming classes and also supplying online materials for
students because of the COVID-19, which can be accessed from their devices. Hence,
these gadgets can guarantee an instructional environment for those who are unable to
be physically in schools.
In conclusion, I somewhat disagree that technological devices bring more drawbacks
than benefits as they allow families to easily establish contact and also enable people to
increase their education.

In many countries, people throw away a lot of food from restaurants


and shops. Why do you think people waste food in this way? What
can be done to reduce the amount of food thrown away?

It is undeniable that some people in certain countries throw away a huge amount of
food from shops and restaurants. This essay will highlight my reasons from such an
approach and will present some of the solutions to minimize such waste.
One of the most crucial reasons behind such behaviour is that some meals or food lose
their quality after a very short period of time when reserved. This is because such
meals usually have genetically modified ingredients to improve their taste. These
ingredients are presented in some meals of McDonald’s, for instance, that makes them
impossible for refrigerating or warming up. It has been shown that many people have
claimed about the French fries served by McDonald’s, as it often loses its crunchiness
and taste and cannot be even eaten the second day. To reduce the danger of this
problem and food being wasted, governments should act more by implementing rules
and regulations on shops by forcing them to reduce the harmful ingredients in these
https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0?ik=a29b1ba1d0&view=pt&search=all&permthid=thread-a%3Ar-4707050331545963711&simpl=msg-a%3Ar-470539… 51/86
1/5/2021 Gmail - Frequent Writing topics May 2020-Till Date

meals.
Furthermore, another significant reason is the culture of a society. To illustrate, the vast
majority of people of the Gulf countries order much more food as a kind of generosity
and kindness. These people usually attending many events on a daily basis such as
lunch invitations or dinners, and to show how they do care about their friends and
therefore, they request these high amounts of food. Consequently, immense amounts
are thrown away. To tackle this issue, people should take into consideration that there
are many people are suffering from starvation and it might be better to help people who
are in danger from poverty by feeding them the extra amounts.
In conclusion, I believe that the consequences of a society in some places should be
maintained and the government should also have a vital role in minimizing the amounts
of useless contents in meals.

The global demand for oil and gas is increasing. Some believe that we
should therefore encourage the exploitation of remote areas. Do the
advantages of this outweigh the disadvantages?

Many people believe that the exploitation of oil and gas from remote areas should be
encouraged due to the high demand for it globally. Nevertheless, it brings lots of
benefits to developing countries, however,there is can be some disadvantages to there
decisions.
Oil and gas have been one of the major demand from both developing countries and
developed countries. Firstly, the main merit of it, is that it can be a means of internal
revenue in a settlement, which can serve as a source of income, in order to make
payment for their yearly budget, and also lead to inter-relationships between different
countries. Secondly, another positive value from these exploits, is that it helps in
creating more employments for youths in the job market. For instance, the Bronx
petroleum company in Nigeria has really uplifted many unemployed young adults from
https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0?ik=a29b1ba1d0&view=pt&search=all&permthid=thread-a%3Ar-4707050331545963711&simpl=msg-a%3Ar-470539… 52/86
1/5/2021 Gmail - Frequent Writing topics May 2020-Till Date

the job market by increasing many infrastructures. This has helped in improving the
security of the country, especially the rural environment where it is located.
On the other hand, irrespective of these advantages, there are still drawbacks to this.
The main demerit of this is that it can sometimes lead to insecurity in the villages or
states. For example, in the south-south area of Nigeria, where they have many oil wells,
the local youths sometimes revote to the government, whenever they do not receive
monetary settlements from the federal government, hereby breaking the oil pipes and
causing more harm, such as pollution, fire explosion, and rubbery. This can also lead to
fights between the youths and those in power causing unnecessary loss of innocent
lives.
In summary, although the benefit of exploitation of petro is helpful to a lot of individuals,
however, the negative effect should be looked into, and also be managed properly, in
order to avoid any loss of innocent lives.

Many today feel that most urgent problems can only be solved by
international cooperation. To what extent do you agree or disagree

In today's globalized world, we are facing many major issues, which are not yet solved.
It is often believed by a few sections of society that all countries should work together to
find a solution to these problems. I completely agree with this view, and the following
essay will decipher the various reasons for my standpoint.
The most primary concern everyone facing is Pollution and global warming, which can
be solved by international collaboration. Instead of facing environmental issues
individually, if all countries gather together and share their advanced technology, there
is a possibility to get a permanent answer for this global concern. For example, with the
invention of the electric car Tesla, many car companies are using that technique over
fuel cars, which eventually decreasing air pollution. Clearly, if technologies get
exchanged, we can tackle pollution problems.
https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0?ik=a29b1ba1d0&view=pt&search=all&permthid=thread-a%3Ar-4707050331545963711&simpl=msg-a%3Ar-470539… 53/86

The second concern in front of the world is rising health problems, for which wealthier
countries should support poor ones. Developing nations and those under the poverty
line cannot provide all advanced medical facilities to its citizens, which adversely affects
their lives. However, underdeveloped countries can get all necessary medical support
and can curb their health problems by international assistance. For instance, during
COVID-19 pandemic, India has provided masks and medical equipment to many
countries at a free of cost. Therefore, such an international understanding is essential
nowadays.
In conclusion, there is no doubt that the environment and health-related issues are
rising enormously. As such, finding an effective solution is a number priority, for which
all countries should cooperate globally with each other.

In many countries, fast food is becoming cheaper and more widely


available. Do the advantages of this outweigh the disadvantages?

Junk Food is gaining popularity globally due to its easy availability and affordable
prices. Further, this essay will discuss the merits and demerits of its popularity with
observations.
To commence with, if we consider today’s scenario, fast-food is famous among people
of all ages. Due to less cost involved it is preferred by a vast majority of the crowd.
As a result, of which it has gained certain pros. Firstly, working tenants find it
economical to prefer junk bread instead, of appointing a cook to make a meal, and
these types of cuisine generally involve fewer tax implications which results in low
prices. Secondly, due to technological inventions,various apps are introduced that
makes home delivery of your orders. For example, Swiggy, Food Panda, Zomato, these
all provide free home delivery means you can have your foodstuff at your place that too
at discounted prices.
Further, it is imperative to consider the rise in health issues because of fast-food intake.
https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0?ik=a29b1ba1d0&view=pt&search=all&permthid=thread-a%3Ar-4707050331545963711&simpl=msg-a%3Ar-470539… 54/86
1/5/2021 Gmail - Frequent Writing topics May 2020-Till Date

There are numerous cons attached to its consumption. First, it has proven in research
that these type of foodstuff lacks nutrient content and contains preservatives which can
have hazardous effects on our health. Its addiction may result in diseases like obesity,
heart disease, diabetes, and many more. To exemplify, in The United States, the former
first lady Michelle Obama has introduced an initiative “Let’s Move” for all age groups to
eradicate the growing problem of obesity. Second, some working women because of
office commitments prefer it as an alternative to cooking home food.
To conclude, I believe diet plays a significant role in our immunity and fast food is
considered as an unhygienic foodstuff for our health because of its disastrous effects.
And considering its disadvantages outweighing advantages people need to reconsider
their daily meal routines by having more domestic cuisine.

Nations should spend more money on skills and vocational training


for practical work, rather than on university education. To what extent
do you agree or disagree?

Every country contributes a significant amount of money to maintain world-class


education system. However, in recent decades, the number of nations is enhancing
university level courses, but they are ignoring the vocational courses. To my mind, it is
better to distribute the money equally on both types of courses.
To begin with, every country requires young talent in fields such as engineering,
research, medicine. This helps a country to grow at a steep path and be competitive in
the world market. For example, some countries such as USA, UK are the acting as a
global leader because they are equipped with cutting edge technologies and highly
talented manpower. Every nation should be able to deliver high quality professionals to
face threats or new innovations which help to enhance the living standards across the
globe. For example, the Internet was an innovation which changed everyone's lifestyle
drastically. To achieve all these, governments should concentrate on improving
https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0?ik=a29b1ba1d0&view=pt&search=all&permthid=thread-a%3Ar-4707050331545963711&simpl=msg-a%3Ar-470539… 55/86

university studies.
However, the vocational courses are equally important to every country. No one denies
that, many immigrants to developed nations are working in stores, as hairdressers,
decorators, car repairers. The solo reason for this phenomenon is those countries are
not encouraging their citizens on skills training. The vocational courses help us to run a
small business like running a car maintenance or hairdressing shops. Thus reduces the
unemployment rates across the world. For example, in my part of the world, there are
many people who completed part-time courses on electric repairs, housekeeping and
settled in their life by running their own business.
To sum up, it is very important for every nation to maintain highly qualified professionals
as well as specialized skills individuals. A government should focus on both types of
studies.

Some people believe that children that commit crimes should be


punished. Others think the parents should be punished instead.
Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

Most of the people in the society have a belief that some children who have been an
offender for a crime should be penalized. Others believe that behalf of them, their
parents should be got punishment. It is worth when discussing both views and in my
opinion, I believe that giving a penalty to children for their wrong is beneficiary than
penalizing parents.
On the one hand, many people in society believe that the youngsters who are been
offenders for their offences should be got punished. Then they would be panic to repeat
wrong behaviours. Furthermore, It would be a chance to avoid crime happening once
again. For instance, when a boy be caught by his parents for stealing money and he is
punished by them, he understands the guilty and he will never do the same misdeed.
Therefore, punishment for a wrong is a must to themselves.
https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0?ik=a29b1ba1d0&view=pt&search=all&permthid=thread-a%3Ar-4707050331545963711&simpl=msg-a%3Ar-470539… 56/86
1/5/2021 Gmail - Frequent Writing topics May 2020-Till Date

On the other hand,If the parents were punished instead of children would be shared a
negative message to the culture and the new generation will not panic to perform
crimes.For example, if a child does not have a penalizing for a guilty, he does not take it
seriously and other teenagers in the community also get a negative attitude to their
mind.Hence, it would be a possibility to increase crime within teenagers.
In conclusion, although some people have been thought that penalizing parents for
children's' offences are suitable.I believe that children must be punished for their
misdeeds.It would be an advantage to community.Because it gives a contribution to the
growing youth in the public.

Some people think that family life and parents have great
influence on children’s development, while others consider that
external influence plays a more important role in children’s life.

Parental influence and family life have huge importance to the development of a child, according to many,

while others opine that children's behaviour is influenced more by outside factors like friends, teachers

and the surrounding environment. In my opinion, influences of parents, relatives and family life are

essential for the proper psychological and physical growth of a child, but environmental and external

influences are more useful for them to confront real life. This essay will discuss both views before drawing

a rational conclusion.

On one hand, parents have remarkable impacts on their children's growth, especially to shape a good

childhood. The sense of family, relationship, responsibility, and punctuality are instilled in a child by

parents and it plays an influential role on their maturity. Love and attention from parents develop a strong

character in a child while the lack of proper parenting often ruins it, according to many psychologists.

Furthermore, children mostly mimic their parents and become more like them. Undoubtedly, this single

fact proves how important it is for a child to have a family and proper parenting.

https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0?ik=a29b1ba1d0&view=pt&search=all&permthid=thread-a%3Ar-4707050331545963711&simpl=msg-a%3Ar-470539… 57/86
1/5/2021 Gmail - Frequent Writing topics May 2020-Till Date

On the other hand, to become a complete human, we need to study in a school, interact with teachers

and neighbours, have friends, face challenges, learn from our environment, gain social experiences and

all those factors have crucial roles to play in a child’s life. Parents keep their offspring safe from dangers

while their real life experiences teach them how to deal with those obstacles. Outside the home, children

encounter several kinds of situations that teach them how to solve their own problems. Furthermore,

children learn invaluable skills in schools which help them develop a sense of community to have a

normal life beyond their family borders.

To infer, I am convinced that while parents have a huge impact on children’s attitude, social interactions

and external factors are also imperative and cannot be ignored for a child's overall development.

Some scientists believe that in the future computers will be more


intelligence than human beings. While some see this as a positive
development others worry about the negative consequences. Discuss
both views and give your opinion.

There is no doubt that computers have become an essential part of our lives. It is often
argued that in the future, if computers eventually become smarter than humans, the
results can be catastrophic. While many disagree with the aforementioned view, in my
opinion, it is true.
Computers have already made our lives easier and if they become even more
intelligent than humans, it will certainly open up a lot more opportunities for us. We can
utilize them to explore places and explore where we cannot reach. Moreover, there
intelligence can be used to research alien objects to get much faster results.
For example, a robot was sent to Mars last year in the USA, which roamed around the
entire planet for a month, captured photos, analysed them and sent them back to
NASA. The entire expedition was not only successful, but also could be completed in
https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0?ik=a29b1ba1d0&view=pt&search=all&permthid=thread-a%3Ar-4707050331545963711&simpl=msg-a%3Ar-470539… 58/86

lesser time than expected. Therefore, instead of sending humans to an unknown


territory and thus, risking their lives, a computer can do the same job more accurately
and simultaneously can save time too.
However, there are disadvantages too, as a lot of jobs will be at stake if this happens.
Companies will prefer to invest once and get a computer which will do the job of
hundred associates accurately in a moment. Rather than paying multiple people for
several years, this option will undoubtedly be given preference, which may have serious
consequences like loss of jobs, riots etc. For instance, we have already seen data entry
and other basic jobs getting replaced by computers. Human labour is no longer required
in many factories because they are buying machines for the same work. Hence, to give
a computer the opportunity to become the most intelligent can have detrimental effects
on several human lives.
In conclusion, according to me, if we make the mistake of making computers smarter
than humans, it will do more damage than good as it will mean they will have the power
to replace humans in many ways. We should be using computers to make our jobs
easier. Nevertheless, it should not be in a way that will be harmful to our society and
economic and may challenge our own existence.

It is better to learn the way people lived in the past through films and
video records than written documents. To what extent do you agree
or disagree?

It is important for people to become educated about events that happened in the past.
Whereas some people believe that learning through films or videos is better, while it is
helpful, I would argue that learning from written documents such as Wikipedia or by
surfing the internet should be also taken into consideration up to a point.
One of the most crucial advantages behind the education about people who lived in the
past via watching a movie is simplicity in receiving the required information. This is
https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0?ik=a29b1ba1d0&view=pt&search=all&permthid=thread-a%3Ar-4707050331545963711&simpl=msg-a%3Ar-470539… 59/86

because the duration of a movie is usually one to two hours, and this makes it easier for
the receiver to build a background when compared with the traditional way of learning.
Troy, for instance, was one of the most successful true-story films that presented the life
of the ancient Romans. The film’s content had some vital details that cannot be easily
found in books. Consequently, some people will find it difficult to search for the same
content in books as it might take a longer period of time than watching a movie.
Moreover, many people would find it boring to learn about a certain event via written
documents. The reason behind this is that these written documents do not have
graphics or audio to attract learners. It has been shown that the vast majority of people
would prefer to learn through watching a movie faster than the written documents.
Nevertheless, some people, especially the elderly who are interested in learning about
people’s old lives have libraries that include some of the old books to return to them
when needed specific information. Not only this, but some of them would use the
internet in terms of educating about the past.
In conclusion, although having appropriate knowledge about past lives by watching
movies is much more entertaining and easier than learning via written documents, I
believe that the latter should not be neglected.

Many people think that mobile phones should be banned in public


places such as libraries, shops and public transport. Do you agree or
disagree?

The invention of cell phones has proved to be one of the most profound findings in
human history. Although, some people opine that the usage of this means of
communication needs to be completely barred in public areas and I completely
disagree. In this essay, I will discuss various reasons why I oppose the mentioned
ideology.
To begin with, the first and foremost benefit of carrying the cord-less is its the
https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0?ik=a29b1ba1d0&view=pt&search=all&permthid=thread-a%3Ar-4707050331545963711&simpl=msg-a%3Ar-470539… 60/86

undeniable ability of undisturbed connectivity. Because of which people can be easily


accessible at the required moment especially, in the case of mishappening or
emergency. For instance, in case an accident occurring in places like libraries and the
local shops, the victim or anyone around him could reach the help of the professionals
who are just a call away! Therefore, it becomes crucial to have such a handy electronic
device.
Furthermore, stating the second reason, many times, these easy to handle mobiles
have proved to be vital as they could record information through their applications, such
as in-built camera and voice-recorder. As a result, at times strong proof evidence is
caught. For example, a number of criminal cases in public places have been solved
using the information provided through cell phones. Through such events happening,
authorities have received great help and have been able to solve the case quickly.
To conclude, in my opinion, however, at times individuals disturb the fellow humans by
misusing their phones, but, the mobiles have proved to execute more positives than
negatives. Moreover, with proper usage of these devices, humans could achieve
continual progress.

Some think that students must travel to another country in order to


learn its language and customs. To what extent do you agree or

Since ages people love travelling to gain knowledge about people, places, languages,
and life. It is often argued that one must visit to the place to know about its language
and culture. I completely agree with the stated notion and reasons for the same have
been discussed below.
The prime reason for this could be the experiences that are gained from visiting.
In other words, it is better to do the practice than to learn it by reading. Additionally,
learning does not get dull and boring because of practical knowledge. When you travel,

you directly engage yourself in the use of the language and the traditions. Ordering food
at a local shop could be an example of learning the language in a foreign place.The
local people mostly don't know your dialect so in order to communicate you learn basic
words unconsciously. Hence, moving to a different country to learn about its traditions
and linguistic culture is commendable.
However, there is another stratum of society that believes that one can learn about
another country by reading books and watching documentaries. Despite the fact that
the internet provides us with a variety of contents to learn about other places it cannot
be compared with the personal experiences gained by visiting. Even there are various
researches in this regard. For example, according to statics by Harvard university
students who travelled to Japan to learn Japanese outperforms the results of those who
stayed at the college and learned it by reading books and various contents from the
internet. It clear that travelling makes easier to grasp another society.
Conclusively, according to me migrating to another area for learning about it's cultural
heritage is entirely justified.

In some cultures, children are often told that they can achieve
anything if they try hard enough. What are the advantages and
disadvantages of giving children this message?

Telling young kids that if they work hard they can accomplish anything is pretty common
in certain parts of the world. There are several benefits and drawbacks of this message
sent to children. On the one side, this can empower the young kid, however, it can bring
up some mental health problems, which can be carried to their adult life.
One evident benefit of telling children that if they are brave enough, they will achieve
anything they want is that they will a focused person in their future. Since kids do not
have the real idea of what life is all about, if they start to be conscious of what they
need to do to have something. For example, if to have a toy they need to go well in their
https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0?ik=a29b1ba1d0&view=pt&search=all&permthid=thread-a%3Ar-4707050331545963711&simpl=msg-a%3Ar-470539… 62/86

studies, they will understand that they have to do their part. Furthermore, by doing this
they will see in reality, how much effort they will need to put on different things in their
life. The children will feel in control of their life, for instance, being more confident in
their decisions. Thus, they will me able to measure and assess each situation since
their childhood.
On the other hand, sending this message for children might bring up an opposite effect,
such as mental health problems. Each person has its own way to digest things and this
message can put too much pressure on these little people. As a result, for illustration,
they can feel incapable of reaching their goals, which can bring important problems
such as anxiety or depression. Additionally, since this pressure will negatively impact
their performance, those children can become a frustrated adult. This can be seen in
the actual high number of people suffering with mental health diseases.
In conclusion, adults have to find the right balance when delivering this message as it
can either show for those children that they can achieve whatever they want or bring
serious problems, decreasing their confidence, bringing mental health problems.

Some people say that advertising is extremely successful at


persuading us to buy things. Other people think that advertising is so
common that we no longer pay attention to it. Discuss both views and
give your opinion.

Many people think that advertising is one of the most powerful tools that convince
people to purchase a product, while others believe that advertising is already ubiquitous
and, therefore, no longer draws any attention. In my opinion, people still pay a great
deal of attention to advertising despite its prevalent appearance in almost every corner
of the modern world.
On the one hand, advertising is persuasive because of its repetition and emotional
appeal. First, frequent exposure to the same images and phrases imprints the

https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0?ik=a29b1ba1d0&view=pt&search=all&permthid=thread-a%3Ar-4707050331545963711&simpl=msg-a%3Ar-470539… 63/86
1/5/2021 Gmail - Frequent Writing topics May 2020-Till Date

messages being communicated in an advertisement in people’s minds. For example,


after listening to a company repeating that their new product is the best in the market
for weeks, customers may eventually be convinced and make a purchase. Additionally,
advertising often exploits people’s conscious and subconscious desires, fears, or
anxieties to emotionally connect them with the product being advertised and to
encourage buying decisions.
On the other hand, some people believe that advertising no longer attracts attention
because they think ubiquity leads to disinterest. People do not like to be bombarded
with advertising materials, and because advertisements now appear everywhere,
people have developed a negative attitude towards them. However, I believe
advertising can still grab our attention, especially the commercial contents that are
creative and catchy. For instance, Budweiser, one of the largest beer companies in the
US, released a short commercial film – “Wassup”, which quickly became a
phenomenon among American consumers. Another example is the TV commercial
“The Dancing Man” made by Six Flags. It has gained millions of views on YouTube and
attracted a large number of people to visit the theme parks owned by this company.
In conclusion, I believe that advertising is still an extremely effective way to attract
consumers and persuade them to make purchases because it takes advantage of
repetition and emotional appeal.

In the future, nobody will buy printed newspapers or books because


they will be able to read everything they want online without paying.
What extent do you agree or disagree with this statement

With the advent of world-wide-web and internet, the trend of reading paper-based
scripture, either the newspaper or the books, is fading away because more and more
people have started using digital books and online news web pages for free. This
trending culture would probably eliminate the usage of printed newspapers or books in
https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0?ik=a29b1ba1d0&view=pt&search=all&permthid=thread-a%3Ar-4707050331545963711&simpl=msg-a%3Ar-470539… 64/86
1/5/2021 Gmail - Frequent Writing topics May 2020-Till Date

future. I totally agree with this notion due to the following reasons.
First of all, the paper-based books and the newspaper on the breakfast table has
become old fashioned. For now, most people prefer to read books and the news of their
interest on their laptops, computers or smartphones. Our newer generation, for instance
, keeps them updated all the time through social media and prefer to read everything on
the internet over their smartphones while moving around. Although it is not common in
elderly people yet; however, it would not take long to attract them as well.
Furthermore, with the advent of the internet, whole libraries are compressed into small
web pages where one can easily find and read the books for free. For example, digital
libraries offered by the universities, and other blogs containing free digital books are
getting popular these days. Additionally, the paper-based books are already replaced
by e-readers which can store millions of books and still can fit in the palm of our hand.
Therefore, it might take just a few years more to totally discard the printed materials
from our lives.
To conclude, there is a possibility that the newspapers and the printed books would be
totally wiped-out in the future because everything is available over the internet free of
cost. I certainly agree with this as the digital reading trend has been spreading rapidly.

In some countries, owning a home rather than renting one is very


important for people. Why might be the case? Do you think this is a
positive or negative situation?

In most of the developing countries, it has become increasingly common and important
for residents to own an apartment as an investment and possession rather than rent a
home in these regions. In the following essay, I will explain why I believe it is
necessarily a positive situation to own a residence and why I agree with these types of
expenditure.
In my view, owning an apartment can be a type of investment and the buyers are more
https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0?ik=a29b1ba1d0&view=pt&search=all&permthid=thread-a%3Ar-4707050331545963711&simpl=msg-a%3Ar-470539… 65/86
1/5/2021 Gmail - Frequent Writing topics May 2020-Till Date

secured because of the possession. As an owner of the home, the purchaser is able to
decide whether he would like to lease the condo or live thereby. As a result, a tenant
could be restricted by the rules that the owner has established. For instance, the
landlord could refuse to continue renting the apartment to the tenant if there is another
great deal of property. In turn, the tenant is not able to do anything except to move to a
new building shortly before the deadline. Furthermore, people usually prefer to buy the
condo at one time in order to pursue a sense of security regarding this reason.
Possessing a mansion avoids the case of losing a residence when the tenants become
jobless and thus, do not have enough money to pay the tariff. Residents could relieve
the burden as they pay the bill at once.
Moreover, I believe that the situation could ease the financial problems of the residents
and also boost the economic development of the country. One reason for this is that the
houses are relatively cheaper if you pay the entire bill at one time. Although it may
seem to be a large amount of money, the prices of the houses are more ideal in the
long-term aspect. It is because the rental would rise every year. For example, owning a
residence could not only avoid the rising lease but can also earn a profit from the
growing market prices. Last but not least, more venture in the buildings can uplift the
national economy since it may attract enterprises to put funds into the market.
In conclusion, despite that at first glance paying the lease every month may seem to be
a good idea, it is not really cost-effective in a long-term perspective and may actually
suffer to reimburse more in the case. Therefore, I would personally recommend owning
a condo as either possession or an investment.

Full-time university students need to spend a lot of time studying.


Some people think it is essential for university students to be
involved in other activities. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0?ik=a29b1ba1d0&view=pt&search=all&permthid=thread-a%3Ar-4707050331545963711&simpl=msg-a%3Ar-470539… 66/86
1/5/2021 Gmail - Frequent Writing topics May 2020-Till Date

There is no doubt that college students studying is most important. While some people
believe that studying is important, so most of the time spend in studying, others argue
that they have to involve in other activities. In this easy, I tend to agree with former
argument.
Firstly, full-time university students must spend more time for studying. For example,
students need to prepare for the exams, due to all the exams should be in bookish
knowledge. If you give correct or proper answers all the exams from the college books.
As a result, If you completed the educational institution studies, then you will get a good
job and will get more value from the society. Suppose if you failed in the university final
examinations, you will lose your career.
Secondly, nowadays everything is important, if you concentrate or more time spend in
studying, you cannot gain social knowledge and how to lead to your life in the society.
For example, if you do not know how to travel or how to interact with new people, it is
disadvantage where your career starts. You should know how to mingle with outside of
the world. As a result, you need to face some social issues as well as your behavioural
issues in the society.
In the conclusion, full-time students need to focus on their studies, because it is very
important to get into in future life, as well as a need to improve other activities like
socialization, behaviour with others, and strong skills for leading a life. I would agree the
studies are important, but also interpersonal skills and leading the life skill very
important.

Some people think that resources should be spent on protecting wild


animals, while others think those would be better used for the human
population. Discuss both sides and give your own opinion.

It is often argued that there is no need to protect wild animals but spent more money on
people's lives-enhancement. While a great number of people contradict the previous
https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0?ik=a29b1ba1d0&view=pt&search=all&permthid=thread-a%3Ar-4707050331545963711&simpl=msg-a%3Ar-470539… 67/86
1/5/2021 Gmail - Frequent Writing topics May 2020-Till Date

statement, I support the idea that we should concern about wild animals as well.
To begin with, It is true that the preservation of wild animals in the 21st century has
been no longer forgotten by our community. However, I think that it is absurd to destroy
an enormous amount of square meters of nature in order to build new households or
exploit new resources. People, in fact, are able to live side by side with animals without
causing the extinction of some wild inhabitants. Furthermore, people should care about
wild animals and should do everything possible to provide their overall welfare. One
option is for the government to invest more money on natural reserves where the
representatives of wildlife will be secured from the danger of extinction. By protecting
wild animals and their habitats, we maintain the natural balance of all life on Earth as
animals are an indispensable part of the ecosystem.
On the other hand, wildlife has a tremendous contribution to our lives. In other words,
they no less pivotal when it comes to the environment. The great illustration for this is
that rainforests produce oxygen, absorb carbon dioxide and stabilise the air cycle
around the globe. Subsequently, it is exceedingly important that people impose
appropriate restrictions to protect wild animals and their inhabitance. Moreover, the
government should set up relevant penalties for illegal hunters and nature polluters.
Thus, these actions will help to deter people from destroying nature.
To conclude, I believe that people will equate the importance of wild animals' protection
and their own lives in the future.

Some cities create housing for growing populations by building taller


buildings while other cities have opted to build on wider areas of
land. Which solution is better?

Nowadays, due to constantly increasing population accommodation demand has


increased as well. Thus, authorities of some municipal areas tackle this issue by
constructing high-rise buildings. Meanwhile, there are cities that address it by using a
https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0?ik=a29b1ba1d0&view=pt&search=all&permthid=thread-a%3Ar-4707050331545963711&simpl=msg-a%3Ar-470539… 68/86
1/5/2021 Gmail - Frequent Writing topics May 2020-Till Date

much wider area for construction. In this essay, I will consider which solution is more
beneficial.
On the one side are those residential areas, which are under construction of
skyscrapers. This approach is suitable for those urban areas where lands are limited,
while population-density is high. Thus, vertical planning is the best solution for high-
density cities because this away it is easier to satisfy housing demand and provide
infrastructure for it. For example, Hong Cong is situated on a group of Islands and the
city is one of the most populated cities.
On the other side are those built-up areas where citizens prefer to build accommodation
in widespread areas. This course of action is feasible in case if a city has vast empty
lands surrounding it, which can be available and suitable for residential construction.
This method provides the opportunity to create a balanced environment where low-rise
buildings naturally alternate trees and park zones. In addition, this kind of built-up is
more practical and safe in earthquake hazardous regions such as my hometown that is
surrounded by a mountain range.
In conclusion, both sides have their merits and there is no better option or one solution
for all cities. This is because both approaches solve specific problems and proceed
from the conditions of an area.

Some people think that resources should be spent on protecting wild


animals, while others think those would be better used for the human
population. Discuss both sides and give your own opinion.

When it comes to treating wild animals, people face the dilemma of whether to protect
them as much as possible, or ignore them and invest resources on human needs. This
essay takes a look at both sides of the argument and opines why I believe that saving
wild animals is an important job to do.
On the one hand, there are those who believe that spending time, money and effort on
https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0?ik=a29b1ba1d0&view=pt&search=all&permthid=thread-a%3Ar-4707050331545963711&simpl=msg-a%3Ar-470539… 69/86
1/5/2021 Gmail - Frequent Writing topics May 2020-Till Date

maintaining the wildlife is not beneficial for humanity. The more population grows, the
more humans' needs are rising; therefore, the limited natural resources are needed to
be used for these needs. This means that spending money, time and energy for the
purpose of making wild animals live on our planet does not seem rational if some
societies fight for their basic vital needs. For example, when thousands of children die
in Africa because of hunger and famine every day, it is irrational to spend millions of
dollars to save wild animals.
On the other hand, every creature on this wonderful planet has the right to live
peacefully. It is wrong to imagine that the earth is created only for humans, and we can
treat other animals in a way to make our lives better. Moreover, maintaining the balance
of nature has many benefits for the future of our environment. To be more precise, by
not saving a unique kind of wild animal species, our ecosystem will be endangered
drastically. As a consequence, other species in this world, including humans, will be at
risk of extinction. A salient example here is Iranian panthers, which are at risk of dying
out simply because of the government and citizens' negligence.
In conclusion, while people in some parts of the world are suffering from food and water
scarcity, it might seem unnecessary to save some wild animals. However, in my
opinion, we ought to give importance to maintaining the natural aspects of our planet,
not only for us but also for the next generation.

When cars and cyclists use the same roads, there are often problems.
Why is this the case? What are the solutions?

Nowadays, the amount of transport is growing very quickly, while road infrastructure is
remaining to be as it was constructed in past times. The more variety of vehicles, the
more difficulties appear, especially when such types as cars and bicycles are on the
road simultaneously.The only decision to abolish this is expanding roads and building
new ones.
https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0?ik=a29b1ba1d0&view=pt&search=all&permthid=thread-a%3Ar-4707050331545963711&simpl=msg-a%3Ar-470539… 70/86
1/5/2021 Gmail - Frequent Writing topics May 2020-Till Date

The main reason for problems on the road which car drivers and cyclists experience is
that the major roads were constructed many years ago when there were a fewer
number of participants. As a result, roads are narrow and their capacity is not sufficient
for the current circumstances. It creates dangerous situations and threatens the lives of
drivers. For instance, the width of roads in many old cities does not allow a car and a
bicycle to move next to each other, they should drive one in front of the other what
creates traffic conjunctions and hazardous conditions on the road.
To rectify this problem the governments should fund the building of new roads and
improve transport infrastructure. Moreover, while designing new road schemes it is
necessary to take into account all the types of vehicle that people use in their country. It
means, the separated lines for cycling ought to be developed, as well as extra places
for parking should be planned. For example, when the new bridge was built in Kyiv
which connects two coasts of the city there were created a line for bicycles and places
for leaving cars. It has noticeably improved the traffic and decreased the number of
accidents.
In conclusion, there is a peril for people who drive a car and bicycle in the same place
of roads because there is too little space to not hamper each other. If the officials paid
more attention and funded more money to reengineering existing roads, this problem
would be solved and people could drive safely.

when cars and cyclists use the same roads, there are often problems.
why is this the case? what are the solutions?

Problems on the streets are increasing day by day because people use these for their
movement from one place to another. But, mostly, issues are arising with cars and
cycles using the same roads. Let us discuss why this is happening and what can be
done to solve this for a better understanding.
To begin with, roads are not wide enough so that, cars and cycles could run comfortably
https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0?ik=a29b1ba1d0&view=pt&search=all&permthid=thread-a%3Ar-4707050331545963711&simpl=msg-a%3Ar-470539… 71/86
1/5/2021 Gmail - Frequent Writing topics May 2020-Till Date

without creating any problem. In other words, cycles are slower than cars and it
becomes difficult for both passengers using the same road. For example, when
overtaking cyclists, car drivers have to wait for a long time to clear the other side of the
road filled with cars for their safety. In addition, Car drivers must follow some regulations
applied by the government while, for driving a cycle, there is no rule. There are some
roads where drivers must not pass other vehicles like cycles, rickshaws and so on. If
they do so they will be fined and create traffic jams.
However, To solve these problems the governments have to think of building separate
tracks not only for the commodity of the vehicles but also for the safety of riders.
For instance, they could build small streets alongside the big roads as they are already
for footpath passengers. Therefore, hazardous on the roads will not be created by these
vehicles.
To conclude, Same roads used by the cars and cycles generate many problems due to
the insufficient width and rules for the commuters. But, these can be combatted with the
help of the street authorities.

Some old people today struggle with the use of modern technologies
such as smartphones and computers. What is the cause of this?
What are some possible solutions?

Many older people today have difficulty acclimating to new technology. The main cause
of this is the novel nature of the computer revolution and the best solutions involve
education.
The elderly have trouble catching up with new developments in technology because
computers and the internet are fundamentally novel. Computers require a skill set
that is completely foreign to individuals who did not grow up in the last 30 years. To use
a computer, one must be able to type, set up online accounts, remember passwords,
troubleshoot IT problems and navigate both the internet and various internet-based
https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0?ik=a29b1ba1d0&view=pt&search=all&permthid=thread-a%3Ar-4707050331545963711&simpl=msg-a%3Ar-470539… 72/86

apps. For those born into the internet era, this is all second nature, but for others the
learning curve is often too steep. The simple process of turning on a computer and
locating programs using an unfamiliar interface can be overwhelming and serves as the
principle, initial barrier.
The best solutions for this relate to education. Older people who are still working require
special training programs and patience from their employers and themselves.
Competence is likely given detailed instructions and enough time to practice. Moreover,
many retired older people want to spend more time with their children, grandchildren
and old friends, but it can be difficult to travel, particularly if they live far apart. Old
people would be extremely motivated to make video calls and stay in touch with loved
ones with applications like Skype, Facetime and Facebook Messenger. Through simple
instructions from family members, it is possible video-conferencing could become a
routine task.
In conclusion, old people today often cannot understand the machinery because it is a
seismic shift in perspective and the solutions involve patient training at work and home.
In this way, the benefits of technology can be extended to a generation that missed out
on them in their youth.

In the future, people may have to live on other planets. Some think
that is therefore important to spend money researching other planets
such as Mars. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Nowadays people should finance an exploration of other planets, such as Mars,


because some individuals believe that different ones might be occupied by new
generations in the long run. I completely agree with this owing to the uncontrolled
consumption of natural resources of our planet and the rising level of pollution.
One reason why people ought to research other planets would be the overexploitation
of non-renewable natural resources, such as coal, gas and oil. Rarely do the majority of
https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0?ik=a29b1ba1d0&view=pt&search=all&permthid=thread-a%3Ar-4707050331545963711&simpl=msg-a%3Ar-470539… 73/86
1/5/2021 Gmail - Frequent Writing topics May 2020-Till Date

people understand the fact that this type of resources exists in nature in a limited way
and their regeneration involves many years. For example, the gas consumption to heat
the huge number of residential and industrial premises is more than 100 million of cubs.
If people continue to overuse natural gas, this situation will lead to its depletion.
As a result, humanity will face with the problem of overpopulation of the south regions
owing to the outflow of people from northern territories.
Another point to consider is that doing the inspection of different planets is associated
with the growth of solid waste pollution around the world. By over consuming the
enormous number of products, people produce more and more garbage. For instance,
in India thousands of tons of industrial rubbish have been released illegally in rivers and
ocean during a year. Not only did this destroy aquatic life, but this also contaminated
drinking water.
In conclusion, I am firmly convinced that mankind ought to invest money in the
researching of other planets, such as Mars due to the fact that it will be more difficult to
sustain the life on the Earth because of the overconsumption of natural resources and
the increasing amount of solid waste.

Research into medical treatments are essential to improve health and


fight disease. Who do you think should fund this research:
individuals, private companies or governments?

Medical research and experiments are central pillars in our fight against illness and
disease. Personally, I believe that the government and corporations should share the
financial burden to achieve more breakthroughs in the field.
It is sensible for the government to invest in research into medical treatments. The
government is indebted to its taxpayers and has an obligation to channel taxation into
essential services, which encompass health care. However, investments in hospitals
and facilities alone are not sustainable in the long run since the people in the power are
https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0?ik=a29b1ba1d0&view=pt&search=all&permthid=thread-a%3Ar-4707050331545963711&simpl=msg-a%3Ar-470539… 74/86
1/5/2021 Gmail - Frequent Writing topics May 2020-Till Date

not solving the root cause of the problem. As a result, while allocating money to national
health care system, the government should also sponsor laboratories in which clinical
trials and research into illness and disease are carried out. In the long run, the
outcomes would be more diseases will be kept at bay thanks to the findings from the
labs.
On the other hand, while publicly funded research is notorious for its inertia, privately
funded one could bring yield unimaginable results. Private companies should be
authorized to fund, conduct experiments in medicine and treating methods to allow
more discoveries. It could ease the financial burden and spare the pressure from the
public in situations where medication is in desperate and urgent need. For example,
private pharmaceutical companies are given free rein to pour their money and
resources in search of the cure for the COVID-19, which is a current global emergency.
Even though the sought-after medicine has not brought to life yet, allowing private
medical institutions into this quest at least helps to appease the public fears and anxiety
since they believe that these companies would be strongly motivated by the colossal
profits and global attention that their discovery could bring.
In conclusion, I believe that it is the chief responsibility of the government to finance
medical research. However, private companies should be allowed to step in to make a
difference.

Even though doctors advise old people to get more exercise, many
old people do not get enough. What are the reasons for this? What
are some possible solutions for this?

It has been often seen that elderly people are asked to take some physical activities by
health workers, but they could not adhere to their advice, as they do not possess much
strength in their body. This essay will discuss the causes and the solutions to this
problem.
https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0?ik=a29b1ba1d0&view=pt&search=all&permthid=thread-a%3Ar-4707050331545963711&simpl=msg-a%3Ar-470539… 75/86
1/5/2021 Gmail - Frequent Writing topics May 2020-Till Date

Undoubtedly, medical officials advise the senior people to take exercise, to keep
themselves fit. However, the majority of the time could not do these physical
movements due to the age-related weaknesses and diseases. For instance, due to old
age, bones get weaker, and moreover, most people lead a sedentary lifestyle
throughout their lives, that also tend to make them lazier and eventually, when they age,
they might not able to exert themselves.
Nonetheless, there are multiple reasons for not undertaking any kind of training, but
rather than taking strenuous exercise, it is advisable to do yoga and meditation, which
can be performed while sitting at one place. Furthermore, a light evening stroll can also
work wonders for their health, as it regulates the body weight and provides fresh air to
the lungs, and thus lead to a healthy heart and body. To illustrate, the majority of the
studies show that people in North America have longer life span than the rest of the
countries, as they exert themselves more. Therefore, more awareness programs should
be broadcasted globally to make people aware of the benefits of physical training.
To conclude, though old age makes people slender and petite on the one hand and less
physically active, on the other, little work out and physical activities can control their
diseases.

Some educational systems make students study specialised subjects


from the age of fifteen while others require students to study a wide
range. Discuss both sides and give your own opinion.

Many educational reformers today incline towards a narrower curriculum for students 15
and older. In my opinion, while this is part of a decidedly modern movement for early
specialisation, a wide range of knowledge serves as a basis for more well-adjusted
adults.

uncommon for many children to choose one musical instrument or participate in a

single sport from the beginning of grade school. The rationale is that more time spent in
one domain inevitably leads to mastery and this is supported by research into the
importance of practice for elite performers. There are many famous examples of
individuals who focused from their teenage years onwards and found success, such as
The Beatles’ band members with music and Steve Jobs with computer technology.
Fewer subjects over age 15 is therefore one way to safeguard a child’s future.
However, the famous examples above are belied by the bulk of research that shows, for
the majority of individuals, a wide range of skills and interests is a better predictor of
future success. Studies have overwhelmingly shown that varied skills allow for
increased creativity and a more even temperament. The average high school student
must study obviously useful subjects such as math and various disciplines of science,
but also take music, art, home economics, and choose their own electives. They may
never become professional musicians, but opening up that side of their brain can help
them be more creative in another field and feel their education is well-rounded. Without
dabbling in these allegedly useless subjects they might feel harnessed to a single
career and purpose, unable to exercise autonomy over their own life.
In conclusion, studying a range of subjects after the age of 15 leads to better results in
general. A complete syllabus furnishes happier individual citizens and contributes to a
richer overall society.

Governments should spend more money on medical research and


less on researching the environment. To what extent do you agree or
disagree?

Every country is investing a substantial amount in investigation and development work


nowadays. While many may argue that medical investigation should be prioritized over
climate change, I disagree. According to me, understanding our temperature more can
truly be beneficial and can even help in the evolution of the medical field.

Firstly, it is well known now that human activities have been affecting the world climate
adversely, because of which, at recent times, there is a rise in natural calamities like
draught, flood, cyclones etc. There are numerous news of many more, coming from all
over the world. For example, a few months ago, there was Australian wildfire and then a
few months prior to that we heard of the Amazon wild fire. Hence, we need to study our
climate and find out how we can reverse the changes, which will help to stabilize the
entire system.
Secondly, if we do not carry out a probe on our surroundings, we will fail to discover
new elements or biological bodies in our situation. New medical discoveries or new
medicines can be invented based on these researches as well. For instance, the leaves
of many plants can cure even the harshest diseases. Thus, it is also necessary that we
invest in studying our nature as well.
To conclude, although medical investigation activities are of utmost importance, we
should not forget our situation as the times of pandemics and new viruses, there is no
doubt that mother nature holds a lot more secrets, which are yet to be discovered.
That is why, as per my opinion, environmental studies should be prioritized more as this
may also help us in achieving medical miracles.

Many people think that zoos are cruel. Others think they are helpful in
protecting rare animals. Discuss both sides and give your own
opinion.

Zoos are the most popular places to visit among all children and people. Some people
believe that it is the safest place for endangered animals; however, this idea is not
supported by all. Others have the opinion that it is cruel to cage them. Let us delve
deeper to have an understanding of both views.
To begin with, some animals are becoming extinct and breaking the natural biological
cycle of the earth. Giant pandas, for example, started disappearing in the late 1990s

due to poaching and deforestation. At present, they are out of the endangered zone
because of the commendable care being shown towards them by zoo caretakers and
wildlife authorities. Moreover, in zoos, these animals are not only sheltered well, but are
also taught about basic survival tactics to help them live independently in wildlife and
dense forests.
Nevertheless, animal protection services and places have proven best results in saving
lives of rare species, but some sections of society believe that animals suffer the most
in zoos. According to them, animals are not always treated well by Zookeeper's,
For example, the food is not provided on time or is rotten. Moreover, keeping the
animals in cages for long isolate them from natural habitats. Thus, they feel alone and
unloved which is an unhealthy state of living and surviving.
To conclude, there are indeed some advantages and disadvantages for animals to live
in zoos. In my opinion, it is crucial for the animals which are endangered to be kept
under special surveillance followed with humane treatment towards all.

Some parents spend little free time with their children today.

Why is this?

Who do you think this affects more, parents or children

Nowadays, parents often do not spend much of their free time with their children. This can be
attributed to their increasingly demanding professional lives and changing lifestyles. In my
opinion, I think that this trend impacts children negatively to a much larger extent than their
parents.

There is a combination of reasons as to why parents are unable to spend time with their
children. Firstly, it is becoming increasingly popular for both parents to be working these
days. In addition, they work longer hours and often bring their work home with them,
furthermore, their commutes from the work are longer. Consequently, they do not have
enough time to spend with their children, even when they do, they are so tired and stressed
out, they seldom want to bond and engage with their children. Secondly, current lifestyle

https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0?ik=a29b1ba1d0&view=pt&search=all&permthid=thread-a%3Ar-4707050331545963711&simpl=msg-a%3Ar-470539… 79/86

promotes a more individualistic way of living, as a result, parents believe it is a good idea to
give space to their children and thus, may not spend time with them because of it as well.

This growing societal trend of lack of time spent together by families, definitely has a far
greater impact on the children as compared to their parents, and this is true especially for
younger children. Since they need the attention, time, care and love of their parents for a
healthy development of mind, body and soul. To illustrate, studies have shown that children
who have both parents present during their formative years, end up doing far better in
school, as well as adults in work. Not spending quality time with their parents can lead to a
sense of loneliness and isolation, therefore, making children feel less loved, which can
hamper their emotional growth and if not addressed can even cause long term mental
issues.

In conclusion, lack of bonding and attention from their parents due to challenging work life
can pose some serious problems for the children.

  

The increase in the production of consumer goods results in damage


to the natural environment. What are the causes of this? What can be
done to solve this problem?

In recent years, the situation of environmental pollution has been increasing, which
mainly caused by industrial plants springing up all over the world. This essay will
discuss one of the environmental pollution issues associated with the production and
suggest viable solutions, before coming to a reasoned conclusion.
As life develops every day, due to the living standards of people raises, the demand for
goods also requires more. The number of goods is mainly produced by machines, and
output a much larger volume than 30 years ago. Consequently, waste from
manufactories releases CO2 emission which causes environmental pollution and
as a result leads to climate change and catastrophic natural disasters. For instance:
Today, In the developing countries, because the need for transportation is high and
owning vehicles such as motorbikes and cars too easy, level pollution of those countries
is always in alarm condition. In addition, the damaging of the environment not only from

the companies, but also from unconscious individuals.


Although high consumption of goods will help the economy to develop, environmental
issues need to be addressed. First, regulations and rankings are needed to assess
each company's infection level of emission and take sanctions for companies that affect
the environment. Encourage the businesses to apply advanced technologies to reduce
pollution levels and use clean energy such as solar energy, wind energy. For example:
countries in Europe, if the automobiles want to operate on the road, they must fully
meet the regulations on emission for vehicles. Thus, there are many workarounds, but
applying them to all places in the world that are not easy and require a lot of time to
implement.
In conclusion, besides economic development, environmental protection should also be
more attentive. Because this is the planet where we live and our descendants will grow.

  
After graduation many students take a year to travel. Some think that it would be
more useful to work for a year.
To what extent do you agree or disagree?

  
In recent days, it is quite common for young adults having a break time after graduating
from secondary school. It is not the case of rich people choosing travelling as a
destination while poor young adults prefer to work in spite of entering university for a
period of time. I personally believe that there will be a number of positives and
drawbacks in both cases.

The reasons for this issue may involve the recognition of restricting knowledge and
experiences in entering university studies, comparison with deciding to work or take a
journey which will give a broader view of life. The young adult will be better on the
resources of the personal life because for both cases are able to develop them as the
independent people. Students deciding work or explore the beauty of world definitely
gain some practical experiences and recognise the meaning of life rather than spending
much time with some papers or plenty of assignments.

On the other hand, the disadvantages of both cases perhaps make people not
interested again in continuing their study. They may end their study because of enjoying
their daily life. Moreover, they may face some problems in adapting academic
https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0?ik=a29b1ba1d0&view=pt&search=all&permthid=thread-a%3Ar-4707050331545963711&simpl=msg-a%3Ar-470539… 81/86

environment after spending a lot of time in work field or adventures. Therefore they
probably think that it is better to pursue a career in particular jobs or do something
different which can make this life full of colours in spite of studying in university.
However, it will be less of people deciding break because to obtain a better future
academic qualification as a primary of requirements.

In conclusion, having off time for young adults after graduating secondary school is not
a wrong decision. They may argue that spending time for gaining greater experiences is
one way to enjoy this life before coming to the environment which has many differences
from the previous study.

  

Some people think that we should invent a new language for international
communication. Do the benefits of this outweigh the problems?

  
Today, English is regarded as an international language to communicate between
different countries all around the world. However, few people insist that a new
international language should be invented to enhance more effective interaction and
communication. According to my mind, it is a great idea to bring the world on one
platform; I believe this action will have more advantages than disadvantages.

To start with, if the world has a single dominant language, it may affect negatively on
the cultural identity of minority countries. Such languages will go instinct as everyone
will be eager to learn a new international language to cope with the pace of life.
Regardless of their mother language, the new language will become their priority to
have higher education and better jobs.

In addition, this innovation would also increase the expenditure of governments as


creating, publishing and teaching will demand extra fund from the government. So,
keeping this in mind, already existed international language, English, seems much more
effective than creating a new one.

On the other hand, there are some deniable advantages also, such as; trading among
the countries will be easier without a language barrier, which will increase the economic
status of the countries. Also, it will make convenient for every individual to travel around
the world regardless of any language hesitation. Moreover, students will also benefit
from this invention as they will have more opportunities to study in any corner of the
world. To add further, due to new international language individuals will have equal
opportunities in jobs as well, which will provide higher standards of living and result in
increased paid taxes, hence, will improve the country’s economic status.

Again, English is the mother tongue in many developed countries and they get some
competitive advantages because of that. If a new language is introduced, this problem
would be eliminated and everyone will have the same opportunity in jobs, business and
international affairs. Furthermore, it is not that easy for a person to learn English
perfectly as it requires time and experience. The accent is another problem for people
https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0?ik=a29b1ba1d0&view=pt&search=all&permthid=thread-a%3Ar-4707050331545963711&simpl=msg-a%3Ar-470539… 82/86
1/5/2021 Gmail - Frequent Writing topics May 2020-Till Date

in non-English-speaking countries. If a new international language is introduced, the


accent would no longer be a problem for many people.

In conclusion, surely the cultural heritage of different countries will be affected by the
new language, but, I strongly believe that having a peaceful world with a strong
economic system and less communication gap among countries is definitely more
beneficial than advantageous.

Many people today are choosing to travel to other countries. Why is


this happening? Is this a positive or negative development?

Nowadays, most people are motivated to explore other places all around the world. In
my opinion, through having a trip to other countries, people can be familiar with the
other cultural diversity and obtaining more information about various lifestyles, which
can be seen as a beneficial point for people’s life.
Firstly, some people travel to new places to discover more details about the civilization
that residents of new destinations have in their lives. This can be, especially for those
who are interested in studying history. In other words, many individuals want to learn
more about conventions that become ubiquitous in new countries.
Another reason for the popularity of travelling to other nations is that besides relaxing
during their journey, people also want to acquire more knowledge about how they live in
other countries. To illustrate this, based on recent research, people who travel to new
places have a happier life and can struggle better with their issues based on their
experience that gained during their trip.
Finally, the trend of exploring other soils is undoubtedly beneficial and can help people
find their place in the world. Almost everyone has an optimistic approach in knowing the
real position of their own country, among others. For example, when time-honoured
culture merges with novel experience, people realized in their travel, can improve their
level of living lead to modern civilization.
In conclusion, it can be advantageous for people to learn more about other nations. It

would be useful for those interested in travelling all around the world to find new things
about the culture, tradition, and lifestyle of inhabitants in new destinations.

  

Some feel that it is a waste of time to plan for the future and it is more
important to focus on the present. To what extent do you agree or
disagree?

Many people believe planning for the future is unnecessary and time spent on it is in
vain. However, in my opinion, it is utmost necessary to analyze and prepare all the
amenities required going forward in life because it provides stable outcomes in all the
endeavours coming and helps us to manage and build a beautiful retirement.
Better results are always achieved when a particular task is well choreographed. To
elaborate, when a project or career or lifestyle is planned previously and implemented
weighing the possible outcomes, one would have an opportunity to makes changes
throughout the hardship which enhance the outcomes. For instance, it is so important
that there are many companies established in the United States which are especially
helping common people understand their future goals and provide them with feasible
plans to achieve it. Hence working for one's own future and investing in it accurately
helps predict and enhance results.
Having a great living throughout is an obvious top priority in everybody's lifetime;
however, providing a comfortable living to themselves and their loved ones even after
retirement requires proper planning. Furthermore, the ability to save money and spend
it efficiently at a young age provides us with the required financial stability to live dream
60's life. For example, in Canada, most of the couple are so efficient to plan and settle
in a better standard of living after retiring from their job. Therefore, plans make living
better in unexpected and expected situations.
In conclusion, spending time on assessing your next steps to reach their goals is never
a waste. Such analyzation consequently helps us improve outcomes by changing the

necessary actions and moves and also gives a chance to dream for a beautiful life later

Some think that quality art can be made by anyone while others think
that it requires special talent and ability. Discuss both views and give
your opinion.
 

It is said that art is something that is inseparable from our lives. While some believe that
only talented people can create art, I agree with those who feel that everyone has the
ability to do so.

On the one hand, some people think that creation of art is only possible for people who
possess special skills. They argue that only these people can be successful. For
instance, human history only recorded the achievements of those artists who were
famous in their field, such as Mozart in the music industry. Furthermore, it is sometimes
claimed that not every human can survive in such competitive sector. For example,
someone may be interested in acting but they cannot become a successful actor unless
they are extremely good at acting.

On the other hand, I hold the opinion that creation of art does not require special skills. I
think that such talent can be acquired through practice. Playing piano, for example,
needs passion and long hours of practice in order to play the music without error. I
wholeheartedly believe that all of us can become a professional pianist as long as we
are passionate about it. Moreover, I think that everyone has the ability to create art
although there is a difference between a good one and a bad one. It is undeniable that
some movies are not as popular as some other blockbusters; however, these are still
masterpieces regardless of the quality.

https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0?ik=a29b1ba1d0&view=pt&search=all&permthid=thread-a%3Ar-4707050331545963711&simpl=msg-a%3Ar-470539… 85/86

In conclusion, even though usually talented people are more likely to survive in the
industry, everyone can still be a professional artist as long as they put in enough effort.
Therefore, on balance, I believe that creation of art is not limited to any particular
individual.
