Many major cities are facing a housing crisis as they cannot provide enough land for new buildings. Some local governments believe the problem could be solved by reassigning park land for residential development, because this land would be better used for housing. To what extent do you agree or disagree? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

Some governing bodies think that land currently being occupied by parks would be beneficial to be used to create homes due to the lack of houses available in cities. There are many considerations to be taken, for instance, homelessness. I believe parks must be preserved as much as possible, thus the demolition of green spaces should not occur.

Some people say that too much attention and too many resources are given in the protection of wild animals and birds. Do you agree or disagree about this opinion?

For centuries, deforestation, farming, urbanisation and other human activities have wreaked havoc on wild animal species and sent them to the verge of extinction. Regarding wildlife protection, awareness has been raised and attempts have been made. However, some hold the idea that the protection of endangered species has been given an inordinate amount of attention and resources. Personally, I do not see eye to eye with this point of view.

From my perspective, I am not in favour of this view. While traditional cultures are facing extra challenges due to the popularization of high machinery, cultures and technology are compatible. They are inclusive rather than exclusive.

People believe designers must have a boundary for their design, others argue that they should voice their thoughts freely.

The student who study from the school to university get benefit less and contribute less,than those of student who go to travel or job and get skills and experience brfore going high.Do you agree or disagree

Although most people nowadays think of aviation when they hear the word "pilot", the term was originally used to refer to local seamen whose task was to guide ships through coastal waters and into a port. In fact, the English word "pilot" evolved from the Dutch term for a plumb lead, a length of rope with a weight on the end of it used for measuring the depth of water. Today, nearly every port employs pilots licensed by the government of the country, and the use of their services is compulsory, except for local ships whose master holds a current pilotage exemption for a specific port. Pilots are responsible for the safe conduct and navigation of any ship from the time they assume control from the master after boarding at sea until the vessel is safely moored at the allocated wharf, or vice versa in the case of ships that are leaving a harbour.

From my perspective, I completely agree that the government should develop effective requirements and, in this essay, I will argue my opinion with examples.

Topic 1 : As computers are being used more and more in education, there will soon be no role for the teacher in the classroom. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Nowadays, a wide range of technologies are employed in many aspects of daily life. Computer use is increasing, particularly in education, which will eliminate the need for teachers in the classroom. From my perspective, I completely disagree with this viewpoint.   The use of computers for educational purposes has many benefits. Lessons are more easily accessible in a variety of circumstances, to start. Physical barriers do not prevent anyone from attending class; all they require is an internet-connected computer or phone, which may be used by both professors and pupils. Second, a plethora of study resources, including photographs, videos, and presentations, may be utilized to supplement the lectures, making the information easier for students to comprehend. Furthermore, this is a difficult assignment for a teacher to carry out in a traditional classroom.  The crucial skill when working with children or teenagers is handling their emotions, which is something that those machines a...

Some people think that museums should be enjoyable places to entertain people, while others beilieve that the purpose of the museums is to educate. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

The discussion about whether museums should be enjoyable places to entertain people or institutions focused on education raises a thorny question. Although it can be argued that museums should primarily serve to educate visitors, I strongly believe that they should also be enjoyable and entertaining to engage a wider audience and foster a love for learning. There are several reasons why people think museums should be educational. First and foremost, it could be argued that the primary role of museums is to preserve and present historical, cultural, and scientific artefacts. It would appear that focusing on education ensures that museums fulfil their mission of increasing public knowledge and awareness. Educational exhibits allow visitors to gain a deeper understanding of various subjects, such as ancient civilizations, natural history, and technological advancements. Viewed from this angle, museums serve as valuable educational resources that contribute to the intellectual developme...
