Some people say it is manufactures and supermarkets responsibility to reduce the amount of packaing of products they sell and others say it us consumers responsibility to avoid buying products with too much of packaging. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

Although people are not supposed to “judge a book by its cover”, in my opinion, it is inevitable that the appearance of something will influence what people desire. Hence, packaging of a product becomes one of the most essential aspects to boost a product’s popularity. However, using excessive packaging may lead to the waste of materials used. Thus, I believe it is necessary to be reduced. In order to do so, I believe both manufacturers and buyers play an important role on this.

Some people think that government should invest more money in teaching science than other subjects to make progress. Do you agree or disagree?

As researchers from various scientific fields solve today’s most urgent problems through innovations, governments are encouraged to provide more capital in science education than other specialities to advance. This essay agrees with that idea because our world is increasingly shaped by science and technology, and thus the need for future innovative scientists will increase. Besides that, science develops young learners’ abilities to ask critical and technical questions and, at the same time, develops their organisational and research skills.

Some people prefer to live in a house, while others feel that it's better to live in an apartment. Are there more advantages than disadvantages of living in a house compared with living in an apartment?

Everyone wants to live in comfort. Some people find independent houses more convenient, while others prefer modern-day apartments. I believe living in an apartment is more advantageous than living in a house for several reasons. To start with, we are moving towards the culture of nuclear families where most adults work. Life is more stressful than ever and people have less time on hand. Given these circumstances, it is much easier to manage an apartment than an independent house. For instance, most apartments have housekeeping facilities that take care of all the cleaning and maintenance work, which we would have to manage ourselves if we lived in a house. Additionally, apartments are usually gated communities so they are a lot more secure. To exemplify, most apartments would have some sort of access cards for residents and stickers to identify their vehicles.

It is increasingly common for people today to have their fifteen minutes of fame. The internet has provided access to a global audience and technological advances have enabled the average person to broadcast themselves professionally. I would argue that this trend of ‘instant celebrity’ is rather detrimental to society as they promote poor values and are poorly regulated.
