Sample answer
I’m going to talk about what I would do if I could change the
world. I’d like to start by saying that I think everyone can
change the world but you have to be realistic.
For me, in a perfect world, everyone would be kind to each
other. However, in the world we live in, it’s not always like
that. I would change this.
Firstly, it’s important because if people aren’t friendly and
don’t help each other, problems are created. Sometimes this
happens at school. When students don’t help each other,
projects take longer than they should and it takes longer to
learn things. It’s also important because when we are friendly
to each other it makes us happy.
To sum up, I would do this because it’s actually very easy to
do. You just have to be nice to people. If you do that, you will
find that other people will be friendly too!
