In some countries, employees are generally given two weeks of paid vacation time each year. In other countries, employees are given four or six weeks of paid vacation time. Considering the needs of both employee and employer, what do you think is a reasonable amount of paid vacation time for employees to have?

When it comes to paid vacation time, there are many disputes about how much time is considered reasonable. On one hand from the employers' aspects, this would add up to their human resources problems, on the other hand, from the employees' perspective, who would not like to have long days off. In order to satisfy both individuals, one month off would subjectively fulfil satisfaction for most workers as well as ease hardships for employers. This essay will argue that a one-month paid vacation is a reasonable compromise that benefits both employees and employers.

Many manufactured food and drink products contain high levels of sugar, which causes many health problems. So, sugary products should be made more expensive to encourage people to consume less sugar. Do you agree or disagree?

Alimentary obsession has had a vast effect on society in the current fast-paced environment. It is suggested that boosting the cost of sugar will cut down the usage since it negatively impacts inhabitants' health. Even though processed foods possess a considerable quantity of sugar, I do not think increasing the price is the finest scheme to decrease consumption.
