The best way to support homeless people is to give them money. To what extent do you agree?

Money is a fundamental part of life, but when it comes to homeless individuals, it's an absolute necessity. Therefore, some people believe that financial support should provide for homeless people.

Many people choose to work or live abroad because of the higher standards of living they can find outside their home country. Do you think this brings more advantages or disadvantages to the people who follow this path?

In my opinion, I can definitely agree with the idea that living abroad can give a lot of benefits to many people. I know some people who already have gone abroad, pursuing their own dream. In my country, they couldn't have their job which they wanted because of their age or gender. For example, a woman in my country couldn't find her job after her baby delivering because her company kicked her out and no company wanted those who were old women like her. All those hard things made her living abroad and I heard that she had been accepted as a computer engineering in one of the USA's companies. I could see many people like her could pursue their own goal more freely in another country though at first many any other people, including their parents denied their plan or even blamed their thinking. It would be a great chance and a big opportunity if they can live a life which has less limits.

Excessive traffic has made cities unpleasant places to live and work in. For this reason, private cars should be completely banned from city centers. to what extent do you agree or disagree?

The use of the cars is increasingly common. In the past, the car was considered a luxury asset, and that is why not everyone could allow it. On the other hand, today, every family has at least one car. A problem with this is the excessive traffic that is created in cities, which is why it is often argued to prevent the movement of private cars in large cities by regulating their use. Despite this, I firmly believe in this kind of solution, I think that such a measure could also solve other problems.
