In some countries, owning a home rather than renting one is very important for people. Why might this be the case? Do you think this is a positive or negative situation?

For generations, people have lived on their own land, grown their own food, and work in communal societies. But after the urbanization phenomenon, people have started to move to the city centre and leave their land to start a new life in a city. Even though it is more expensive to buy their own house, people still choose to purchase a property rather than rent a house. Many people still believe that living in their house is more important than living in rent. In this essay, I will break down the reasons why people still have that belief, while I think it is a negative situation as it also reflects how the legal system in property lacks.

Many people prefer to use public transportation, while others say that personal cars are the best mode of transportation. Excessive use of private cars is considered to be the main reason for the traffic jam in many cities, and that's why the use of public transportation is encouraged. In your opinion, what are the pros and cons of using public transport? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

We cannot underestimate the importance and convenience of public transport nowadays. Personally, I think that public transport is the best choice for small cities, not metropolises. Of course, when we are thinking about the most comfortable way of getting to the necessary place, there is a private car in our minds. You are the boss in your personal car, so you are the one who can turn the favourite song on, and the conditioner on, and you can choose the best route without the traffic jams. Still, we can not ignore the fact that the amount of cars on our roads is increasing, and it's even getting harder to find a parking place in recent times.

‘For all children, the ability to play a musical instrument is just as important as the ability to read and write.’ How far do you agree with this suggestion? How important is it for a child to learn to play a musical instrument, in your view?

There is a suggestion that musical skills should be as important as reading and writing skills for kids. In my opinion, kids should learn musical skills for entertainment, not reading and writing skills. Hence, reading and writing skills are more important than musical skills because if a kid doesn't know how to read and write, they can’t play musical instruments either.
