In the modern world, an increasing number of services can be obtained via online. As a consequence, educational program became not an exception. Many schools worldwide provide learning opportunities on the internet to audiences all over the world. Despite this phenomena, some people believe those online schools cannot provide the same level of merits to students as physical colleges or universities can offer. I agree with this opinion from two points of view; namely the interactive learning opportunities with teachers which real schools can deliver and secondly, the experieces the learners can attain by mingling with peer students. Hence, this essay is to articulate those two points to show the background of my agreement to the statement.

There is a controversial topic on whether the government or individuals should decide on students’ studies in university. I understand that the government would have a better idea of what talents are in demand, so people would think if the government selects subjects for students in the university can manipulate the talent resources within the country. However, individuals should have a choice for their career, so choosing enjoyable subjects in the university is one of the most important affairs in life for students and I agree with this point of view.

In the past, the role of a teacher was to provide information. Today, students have access to a lot of information. There is, therefore, no role for teacher in modern education. Do you agree or disagree?

For example, they can obtain what they want to know just by logging to the internet. As a result, some people came to believe that there are no more needs for physical teachers in classrooms. However, I cannot agree with this idea due to mainly two reasons, namely controlling school children's behaviours and motivating them to continue their studies. As such, this essay is to discuss these two major merits of teachers to justify my position to disagree with the statement.

Some people think that the government should provide assistance to all kinds of artists including painters, musicians and poets. However, other people think that this is a waste of money. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

An often debated topic is whether a government should provide its country’s artists with assistance or not. Many believe such assistance is a prudent use of a nation’s wealth and should thus be supported. However, others feel this kind of spending is wasteful. Both sides of the argument will be discussed in this essay before a conclusion is reached. According to many, government funding of the arts can benefit a country’s cultural identity. A good example of this is the anime art culture of Japan. Today, anime is a globally recognized art form and as such, a huge draw for tourists. As this shows, providing government assistance to artists can have positive ramifications across different channels within a country. It is thus understandable why many people support this stance.
