Admittedly, the internet has a myriad of advantages. Still, I would like to go with the motion of the traditional classroom, not becoming obsolete and ineffective in the coming days, which will be discussed in this essay.

Children are vulnerable and delicate. Some countries prefer to start their formal education at the age of four whilst others prefer it to be at a late age. Although formal education teaches them punctuality, I believe this early education can be stressful.

Some people say that best way to improve the health of people is by increasing sports facilities. Others, however, say that this would have little effect on public health and that other measures are required. Discuss both these views and give your opinion.

Sound health has always been a matter of grave concern among all. As a result, the possible ways of improving health standards is often argued. While some emphasize on providing more opportunities for physical activities, others believe that this would not affect much and some alternatives are also needed. In my perspective, building sports centres alone is not enough, awareness campaigns are imperative to attract public towards it.

The first man to walk on the moon claimed it was a step forward for mankind. However, it has made little difference in most people’s lives. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

After a first landing on the moon, a person who made this said that it is a giant contribution to the future development of humanity, despite this speech for a major part of people changed nearly nothing in their lifestyle. I agree that no difference was brought for many individuals, and money could be spent for the county’s needs, however, significant improvement of the space exploration is worthier than drawbacks.

Government should spend money on railways rather than roads. To what extent do you agree with this statement?

Some people think that having a set retirement age (e.g. 65 years) for everybody, regardless of occupation, is unfair. They believe that certain workers deserve to retire and receive a pension at an earlier age. Do you agree or disagree? Which types of workers do you think should benefit from early retirement?

There are some debates about having a set retirement age for everybody is unfair, and workers from certain occupations deserve to retire and receive a pension earlier than others. This is usually defended for people from heavy work. I personally believe that the reason why we have a standard period is to guarantee the equality, regardless of occupation, because just as we have the professions that affect physical health, we also have those that affect the mental health. Ultimately, I disagree about changing the current rule.
