The young today spend a large amount of their leisure time in shopping centers. It is feared that this trend can bring negative influences on the youths and the society.

I agree with the premise. The explosion of the middle class resulted in a requirement for avenues where they can spend their hard earned money usually for relaxation purposes.

Some experts believe that it is better for children to begin learning a foreign language at primary school rather than secondary school. Do the advantages of this outweigh the disadvantages.

Nowadays, elementary education program in various countries includes another language besides their mother-tongue one. Many experts approve this early approach to foreign language than starting to learn in secondary school. This essay of mine shares the same opinion. On the one hand, disadvantages of learning languages at primary age. Some people argue that a new language should not be introduced to children as they believe that learning a new language is confusing and wastes time, could delay development of child's first language.

Furthermore, students have to learn many more subjects and other subjects are more important at that age (maths, mother tongue language, science), which means that less time is contributed to learni...

Some people think it is better to give donations to local charitable organizations, while others choose to give to national or international bodies. Discuss both these views and give your opinion.

These days, donating money to the needy is a humanitarian activity that has been embraced by individuals around the world. While some people deem that donors should do charity straight to the local community, my conviction is that it would be better to support the national or international charitable foundations. On the one hand, a number of philanthropists opt to directly give financial support or contributions of tangible items to the local funds. The reason is that local charities have a better understanding of their locality’s demands and local context via hands-on conversation with suffered people. For example, knowing the issue of fresh water deficits in south western Vietnam, local foundations prioritize to build water supply station instead of roads expansion. In addition, people who give donations to local charity are aware of their social responsibility for local community where they live or work. This means that they often give direct donations to local organizatio...

Many people say that universities should only offer to young students with highest marks, others say they should accept people with all ages, even if they did not do well. Discuss both views and give your opinions.

The issue of whether tertiary education should accept well-qualified students or scholars of all ages without good performance, causing some public controversy in recent years. Although choosing the students with the highest marks is prominent, my conviction is that accepting all applicants of all ages is a high priority. There are several reasons why young people with good academic results should be exclusively entitled to further education. First, to apply to the courses such as economy, science fields, students are equipped with good fundamental knowledge which are assessed by passing the examinations with flying colors. For instance, in order to a programmer whose job is to create the programs through lines of code, student certainly needs to be fluent in academic theories of algorithm, which are hastily acquired by well- qualified students. Second, young individuals or those with excellent academic backgrounds possess the skilled manpower for society to do well in an...
