It is usual to see people indulging in work for longer than normal duration of time, which ultimately leaves them with little or no time for recreation. Although working continuously may benefit the company’s reputation and widens the horizons for the worker’s well-deserved promotion, it causes them various stress-related health issues and affects their family relationships. In my opinion, it is essential to restrict the number of working hours, despite the positive outcomes that they bring about.

Some people prefer to spend their lives doing the same things and avoiding change. Others, however, think that change is always a good thing. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.

Over the last half century the pace of change in the life of human beings has increased beyond our wildest expectations. This has been driven by technological and scientific breakthroughs that are changing the whole way we view the world on an almost daily basis. This means that change is not always a personal option, but an inescapable fact of life, and we need to constantly adapt to keep pace with it. Those people who believe they have achieved some security by doing the same, familiar things are living in denial. Even when people believe they are resisting change themselves, they cannot stop the world around them from changing. Sooner or later they will find that the familiar jobs no longer exist, or that the ‘safe’ patterns of behaviour are no longer appropriate.

Without capital punishment, our lives are less secure and crimes increase continuously. Do you agree or disagree with this statement?

There have been controversies around the law of retribution for crimes, especially when it comes to death punishment.
