Presently, a majority of buildings, such as offices and schools, have open-area designs instead of individual rooms. In my opinion, this is a negative development that can lead to a lack of privacy, the easy spread of illness, and it is hard for staff to concentrate.

Living in a country where you have to speak a foreighn language can cause serious social problems, as well as practical problems. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

The growing trend of globalization has made it more common for people to stay in foreign nations where they need to use different tongues. While some people say it can cause several problems both in society and in practical life, I partially agree with this, for there would be some misunderstanding, causing a sense of distrust among the natives regardless of the fact that the interaction across borders encourages social development.

To what extent do you agree or disagree? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge and experience.

However, a large group of people and I strongly suggest that this will have harmful implications on the physical and mental well-being of the child, and will not contribute towards their holistic growth.

Consumers are faced with increasing numbers of advertisements from competing companies. To what extent do you think consumers are influenced by advertisements? What measures can be taken to protect them?

The number of adverts shown nowadays has considerably risen. In my opinion, these advertisements have a great influence on consumer behaviour. Nevertheless, governments shouldn't take any measures to avoid it due to the right that companies have which is to show their products and services to the projected consumers. Rather must be the community who have the means to protect themselves who take measures to avoid manipulation.
