Duolingo 50 Words Essay Questions and answer

 Nowadays new technology is increasingly being used to teach students.

What are the advantages of this new approach? 

Answer: Using technology to teach students has several advantages such as

creating a more engaged environment, improving collaboration, having more scope
to connect with the students, etc. Technology also allows teachers to explain
complicated theories and concepts to students using attractive visuals, which in
turn helps students to learn and understand better. As a result, incorporating
technology in the field of teaching has positive effects both on the method of
teaching and the students. 

 In many countries schools have severe problems with student behavior?

 What do you think are the causes of this?

 Answer: Perhaps the most predominant cause of problematic student behavior is a

troublesome home environment. Negligence, abuse, lack of affection from parents
at home are some of the causes of students developing problematic behavior and
expressing them at school. Furthermore, being exposed to negative experiences in
life, having wrong companionship, and low mental health are also causes of
problems with student behavior. Most importantly, school authorities aren’t trained
enough to handle such student behavior, which in turn exacerbates the issue. 

 Many historic buildings are being destroyed or replaced. What are the
reasons for this?
 Answer: One of the predominant reasons behind historic buildings being
destroyed is shortage of land. As the population of the world continues to
rise, more land is needed to accommodate housing for the increasing number
of people. Furthermore, many historic buildings are being replaced due to
urbanisation. The rapid growth in urbanisation has allowed many companies
to take over historic buildings in the name of development. As a result, the
value of historic buildings are gradually decreasing as people go unbothered
by these changes around them. 

 Describe a time when you were extremely happy. What happened?

 Answer: The last day when I was able to spend time with my entire family was a
time when I was extremely happy. It was during the holiday last year and that was
the last time I had each and every one of my siblings together at our parents’
house. Now we’re all in different parts of the world, living our lives, trying to
make a living. While I do have my fair share of fun every now and then, there is
nothing quite like the pure happiness of spending time with your own family. 
 

 Some people argue that the teenagers have lost moral values. What is
your opinion?

 Answer: I think that children from every generation differ from their previous
generation in many ways, and this difference attracts a lot of scrutiny. I believe that
the importance of moral values has declined for all people, and that includes
teenagers as well. Therefore, while it is safe to say that many teenagers these days
have lost regard for moral values, it isn’t true that all of them have done so. So, I
do not think that the statement should be generalized for teenagers only.
 

 Describe the house in which you live?

 Answer: The house that I live in is an apartment. It is a ten storied building
that has six flats on every floor, and forty flats in total. It is located in the
city, and in quite a busy street. I’ve been living here my entire life and have
made many friends from this apartment. We all grew up together and have
developed very good friendships over the years. This house and its people
are two components that I have made some of the most beautiful memories
with in my life.

 Describe the neighborhood where you live?

 Answer: The neighborhood where I live is located in the city, and in quite a
busy street. There aren’t many trees around, but there is a park very close to
it that sort of fulfills the need of greenery in the area. Many people from the
neighborhood and especially kids flock to the park every afternoon. I myself
go there a couple times a week to catch up with my friends from the area.
Our neighborhood is quite safe, with rarely any sort of crime happening
here. I have lived here my entire life and truly believe that this is a great
place to grow up and live in. 
 

 Public transport helps save money and curbs pollution over private
transport. What do you prefer and why? 

Answer: Personally, I wholeheartedly agree with the statement. Public transports

are indeed an inexpensive option as opposed to private transport. It is something
that I use everyday myself. But while they do curb pollution as opposed to private
transports, the convenience and comfort of owning a private transport can’t be
denied. It is truly a luxury and privilege to own a private transport. But for mass
people, public transports are definitely the better option by a landmark.

 Describe a time when you were cheated.

 Answer: During its onset, online shopping didn’t have much credibility as people
were afraid of being cheated on through misleading products that were different
from what they had expected. However, over time, online shopping has made a
place for itself in society, and rightfully so. However, there are still some online
shops that are nothing but scams. Last month, I ordered an air cooler online from
an advertisement that made it seem perfectly normal. In reality, it did nothing to
serve its purpose and was simply an object of no use. That made me not only waste
a good amount of money but also feel extremely cheated. 
 

 Some people argue that the government should spend money on Space
research while others say that the government should build hospitals.
Which argument do you support?
 Answer: I believe that the government should undoubtedly spend money on
building hospitals as opposed to spending money on space research. I
believe that space research has a lot of opportunities for human civilization.
However, for a developing country like ours, it is a luxury. Our country is in
dire need of better health care systems; one of the main steps to get that done
is building good hospitals. While the government has every right to spend
money on space research, it has no right to do so at the expense of the health
of its citizens. 

 Describe your daily exercise routine. 

Answer: A prerequisite of my exercise routine is waking up early in the morning at
6 am. After that I go for a quick twenty-minute run. When I get back, I shower and
then have a banana that gives me energy to do yoga for the next forty minutes. On
extremely busy days, I do yoga for 15 minutes, but make sure I never go below
that. Afterwards, I have my breakfast and do thirty minutes of exercise. On most
days I do cardio, while I sometimes incorporate a bit of weightlifting in my
exercise routine. 
 

 Describe a time when you travelled somewhere. 

Answer: Last year I went to Cox’s Bazar with my parents and my sister. It was
during the end of winter, so the weather there was quite perfect. However, the
beach was quite sunny, of course. We did a lot of activities such as jet skiing,
kayaking, and parasailing. It was my first time doing all of these activities, so I had
an amazing time. We also bought a lot of dried fish from the street shops, which is
a common tradition for visitors in Cox’s bazar. We relaxed to our hearts’ content
and returned after four days of peaceful vacationing. 
 

 How do you travel to your work/study? Describe your vehicle. 

Answer: I use public transport to travel. So that means I have to get up early to
catch the bus. I prefer using an AC bus as the route to my work is quite long and
the hot weather becomes quite intolerable. It doesn’t accommodate more
passengers than it’s supposed to, which is quite rare for most public buses in the
country. And since I have the privilege to afford a fairly developed public
transport, I choose to use this bus for my own safety. 
 

 Having a good university degree is important in finding a job. Do you

agree? 

Answer: Yes, I agree with the statement that a good university degree is important
in finding a job. In fact, considering how competitive the job market is becoming
with each passing day, a good university degree is not only important in finding a
job but also a prerequisite. While it is true that a lot of people can’t afford a good
university degree, that hasn’t stopped companies from prioritizing a good degree
while hiring new employees. 
 

 Describe a skill that you want to learn. 

Answer: A skill that I want to learn is coding. It is a skill that has a lot of demand
in the job market right now. Furthermore, coding is also an integrated part of
different kinds of jobs, all of which have scope for many job opportunities. These
opportunities are becoming more and more available all over the world, making a
skill like coding highly advantageous. 
 

 Write about your dream job. Why do you want this job? 

Answer: My dream job would be a position that allows me to make a positive

impact on people every day. I would love to work for a company that makes time-
saving and life-enriching products that thousands of people use everyday. I would
love to be part of a team that finds innovative ways to make products more
efficient and effective. To be able to earn a living through something that helps
people in one or more ways is the dream. 
 

 Write down about your best friend. How long have you known
him/her? 

Answer: I have a best friend of fourteen years. We went to the same school. While
we have been friends since grade 1, we became best friends in high school. Ever
since then, we have become inseparable, but only in terms of bonding because we
now live in different countries. However, the distance has not affected or
deteriorated our friendship in any way. If anything, it has made the friendship even
stronger. I can’t imagine my life without my best friend. 
 

 What is your favorite dish? How is it prepared?

 Answer: My favorite dish is pizza. Its main component is a flat soft bread which
can be thin or thick depending on choice. The bread is then covered by a sauce,
predominantly ketchup, followed by ingredients such as chicken, beef, bell
peppers, olives and many others depending on the choice. One of the most
important components of the pizza is cheese which goes on top of it at last. The
bread is then baked at very high heat in an oven and becomes ready to eat in 15-20
mins. 
 

 Describe your favorite actor. Why is he your favorite? 

Answer: My favorite actor is Leonardo DiCaprio. The reason he is my favorite is

because of his sheer versatility. Starting from his attention grabbing role in “Catch
me if you can” to his career-defining role in “Titanic”, from his mind blowing
performance in “Inception” to his dangerously convincing role in “Shutter Island”,
Leonardo DiCaprio is an actor who seems to have no area of weakness in acting at
all. The way he adapts to every role and also makes it his own is something that is
remarkably rare within actors these days.
 

 Some people say that with the development of the Internet, Radio has
no future. Do you agree? 

Answer: While the internet has definitely taken over many different fields of
media and broadcasting, including the radio, it is too bold to claim that the
development of the internet will lead to radio becoming obsolete. If we pay close
attention to the current status quo, the internet already has all the features of the
radio, but radios are still alive and functioning. People still listen to radios in cars
on their way to work and throughout the day. People still turn to radio for
publicizing events and celebrities. I believe that with further development of the
internet, radio will also adapt to changes and hold its place in our lives. 
 

 Write about your favorite book.

 Answer: The name of my favorite book is “Pride and Prejudice”. It is considered

a reading classic. It is one of the most popular novels in the English language. Over
200 years after its publication, it continues to win the hearts and minds of readers
around the world, thanks to its delightful heroine, unforgettable cast of comic
characters, witty dialog, and satisfying romantic plot. 
 

 Describe a time when you spent a lot of money. What did you buy? 
Answer: A time when I spent a lot of money was during last Eid. I had been able
to save a great deal of money by that time and had decided to spend a good portion
of it for not only myself but also the people I love. I had spent the money on
buying my mother a saari, my father a watch, and my sister a bag. I also decided to
spend some money on my friends and got a watch for each of my four closest
friends. For myself I bought a shirt, a bag, and a bracelet. Although I had spent a
lot of money, I never regretted it because of how happy it made me to be able to
get gifts for the people I love and for myself, with my own money.
 

 Write down about a time when you worked really hard for something. 

Answer: A time when I worked really hard for something was during my last
board exam. It was my graduating exam from school and therefore had a lot of
value to it. Besides, every board exam is very important in a student’s life. And
since the knowledge I had gained for this exam had implications in my exams for
university admission, the pressure was even higher. Therefore, I had to make a
routine for my studies, stick to it with discipline, and work hard day and night to
ensure I was preparing well for the exam. I’m thankful that the hard work later
paid off.
