The idea of going overseas for university study is an exciting prospect for many people. But while it may offer some advantages, it is probably better to stay home because of the difficulties a student inevitably encounters living and studying in a different culture. To what extent do you agree or disagree this statement ?

In today's society, the concept of going abroad to pursue higher education is becoming more prevalent among youngsters. However, some people believe that staying home is perhaps more suitable for young people due to the harsh conditions and obstacles they may experience when living or studying in another country.

A lot of people who wanted to become professional athlete gave up this idea because of the fear of failure and parents’ pressure. Do you think that parents should support their children who want to do a career in sports?

Sports have a vital role in boosting one’s mental and physical well-being. Although a large number of people have a dream of becoming a professional athlete, they give up their ambition due to the fear of failure as well as their parents’ pressure to acquire a higher education rather than focus on sports. While some people underestimate the parental role in succeeding children in sports, I strongly believe that parents’ support paves the way for their kids to pursue their dreams.

News editors decide what to broadcast on television and what to print in newspapers. What factors do you think influence these decisions? Do we become used to bad news? Would it be better if more good news was reported?

In most media houses, the decision of what content is to be broadcasted on TV or printed in daily newspapers lies squarely in the hands of news editors. Criteria and factors such as attention-worthiness, political relevance and sensationalism largely influence these decisions. As it is mostly bad news that fits into these criteria, we tend to get used to bad news because of the frequency of it being broadcast. In my opinion, more good news should be reported, even if it's only for the sake of balance and the psychological effect.
