These days, the amount of

violence

in media is growing. While some people argue that

this

trend will undoubtedly lead humans to dangerous future, others claim that it has no damaging effect on the society. I believe that in most

cases media

cases, media

violence

doesn't affect people's

behavior

manner of acting or controlling yourself

behaviour

Firstly

, I think that people act from their motives, regardless what they see on the television.

That is

to say, if someone intends to do harm to somebody,

that is

not because of watching TV or playing computer games, but due to that person's character and education.

Although

it is generally considered that violent media accustoms

viewers

viewer

to cruelty, I doubt

this

opinion. In my view, reasonable and intelligent people treat others humanely irrespective of what they see or hear in fictional stories.

Moreover

, video games and television may even reduce social

violence

by providing a safe outlet for aggressiveness.

In other words

, truculent people may fight in virtual reality

instead

of evincing their combative spirit in

Suggestion

the real world

This

may not only help those people, but

also

reduce the level of social

violence

in long-term perspective.

Finally

, despite many claims and assumptions about

negative effects

Suggestion

the negative effects

of television and computer games I have never seen any proven connection between violent media and illegal activities in social life. Taking everything into consideration, I would say that

violence

in contemporary media has no substantial influence on people's

behavior

behaviour

. Television and computers are not the main factors that shape personal character, and they can even be useful in reducing the level of

violence

Some people say that the only way to get success is to go to universities while others think that it depends on other factors. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
There are controversial perspectives heating up a debate over how to become a high-achiever. While some claim that getting to institutions is the sole tactic to become fruitfulness. Although each has its own perks, I would contend that it is optimal to combine both mentioned factors.

Wild animals have no place in the 21st century, so protecting them is a waste of resources. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Nowadays, some people insist that wildlife animals are unnecessary things in modern society, so the preservation ecosystem is neglected as it requires a lot of money and resources. However, many proponents opine conservation of wildlife is a crucial point due to these beneficial advantages of the balance of the ecology and the security of the food supply. I am convinced by the latter opinion, so I firmly agree with them.

In your letter • tell your friend why you are having a party • explain what dish you want to cook and ask your friend for the recipe • invite your friend to the party
How have you been? I missed the wonderful time we had together when I was at Tabesh School. I’m going to throw a party for my 25th birthday on 21 September. Because of this party, I decided to try to cook a strange Greek food. I thought it could be a great surprise for my guests.

The large amount of time and money that is spent on conserving wildlife would be better spent on improving the lives of humans. To what extent do you agree or disagree
Wildlife has always been an essential part of our ecosystem, thus, it has to be protected. Nowadays, it is often said that it is beneficial to donate money to conserve the environment. At the same time, however, others believe that such money would be better spent on topics related to humans, namely, decreasing the costs of life, developing social care, etc. While each of these views has both pros and cons, I believe that it is more beneficial to protect nature rather than humans.
