In some countries, owing a home rather than renting is very important. Why might this be the case? Do you think this is a positive or negative development?

Some countries believe that to own a home is an asset. In my opinion, i agree with the notion because, when you own your home you automatically do not have to be making a monthly payment for a shelter. You can rather save that fund or divert the money for that payment for other necessities of life, such as a good education for yourself or a family. Moreso, houses can equally be a source of income when you rent it out, in parts or in its entirety, for others to live in. You can also use it as a collateral to acquire more assets eg buisness capital, machinery, lands, other houses etc from banks. Also, house prices can only appreciate and never depreciates. This means that whenever you decide to sell the house, you will only make gains on the capital used in buying your house. That not withstanding, you can pass down a house as an inheritance and it will continue to be an abode to your generations. Acquiring a house is a good buisness idea as it can become easier to acquire other hou...

Many children consume hours on their smartphones in every day because many children do not have good communication, especially, their parents and peers.

The smartphone is useful tools to escape problems that’s why more than more children used up their time in smartphones. As a result of these, many children experience mental disorders such as depression or anxiety. That is because it can be obviously said that the more children use smartphone the more they have problems. As seen the aforementioned, this development is worse than everything.

Individuals can do nothing to improve the environment; only governments and large companies can make a difference. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Problems such as the rising of global temperatures and health problems had a crucial impact on the relationship with our everyday life, so that public institutions started building awareness over their citizen, on how impactful would be a behavioral change for the environment. For this main reason, in this essay I will discuss why I disagree with the statement above. To begin with, mankind cannot think Itself as autonomous from the environment around, which means that our actions are tightly related to natural events. As a matter of fact, a research conducted in areas subjected to earthquakes, such as Chile, Hawai or Japan, noticed that the power of these calamities doubled since the beginning of the 50’s, when governments gave permission to withdraw oil from the soil. Yet, earth shakings would likely increase if members of parliament will keep on permitting such exploitation on behalf of one country’s development. But how can people prove their actions are still valuable to make a ...

Some people believe that professionals, such as doctors and engineers, should be required to work in the country where they did their training. Others believe they should be free to work in another country if they wish. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.

As the number of professionals workking abroad increases, it is often discussed whether they should stay where hey did their trainings or they should be free to move to another country if they desired to. While I believe theat a person should be free to migrate, I agree that it has negative effects on the country of training. On the one hand, professionals who decide to work abroad are seeking for a different lifestyle and career opportunities. Therefore, they should be allowed to improve their lives outside the limitations of their country of origin. For example, whilst in Spain residents in a hospital do not have hands-on experience due to safety measures, in other countries such as Argentina, residents actually practice their skills with patients. Besides, cultural exchanges have proven to increase efficiency, since different nationalities mean different believes and the introduction of new methods. On the other hand, when professionals leave the country where they trai...

Nowadays, a growing number of people with health problems are trying alternative medicines and treatments instead of visiting their usual doctor. Do you think this is a positive or a negative development?

Since ancient times people tried to treat themselves by herbals and another natural products. In these days this type of treatment is named as alternative medicine. Nowadays, more and more people with some diseases decide to use alternative medicines instead of classic medicine. In this essay I will try to discuss pros and cons. In my opinion, the disadvantages outweigh the advantages of using traditional medicine. The first reason is that nobody knows how this treatment will affect to a person’s health.

They do not know what the result will be and hope that it will be positive but not always is like that. Although there are a lot of disadvantages, advantages might make people not go to usual doctor. The first and the main pro is that using herbals does not cause environmental pro...
