Prison is the best punishment for criminals. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?

It is reasonable that whoever commits a crime will be sentenced to prison. However, this is not the optimal punishment since its impact would not guarantee the criminal’s evil acts in the future. In my opinion, there are both benefits and setbacks to this way of handling criminals.

Some young people believe it’s best to move out of their hometowns when they become adults, while others wish to live in their hometowns their whole lives. Discuss both sides and give your opinion.

Like how there are two sides to a coin, the debate on whether young people who have transitioned into the adult phase of life, must stay or leave their hometown, is also two-sided. While some believe that it's better to stay in one's hometown, I unequivocally agree that moving out would help in character development.

Government spending on restoration of old buildings in cities should be stopped. Instead they should spend the money for housing and road development. Do you agree or disagree?

There is an opinion asserting that official authorities should inhibit allocating budget to keeping old constructions in urban areas. Instead, they should allocate it to accommodation and the road network expansion. While the old constructions can be advantageous in some cases, I would argue that the latter policies benefit a wide range of populace in the society.

Nowadays, some people argue that professionals, such as doctors and engineers, should be required to work in the country where they studied. Others believe they should work wherever they want.

Some people think that the government is wasting money on the arts and that this money could be better spent elsewhere. To what extent do you agree with this view?

Undoubtedly, a country's advancement depends entirely on where and how the capital budget is spent. In this epoch of technology, emphasising arts rather than education and well-being may not be a reliable approach to developing a nation. Although arts play a vital role in relieving stress and enhancing mental health, investing funds in other sectors such as education and health would be lucrative in the long term.

To what extent do you think the government should control what information is available on the internet? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

With the advancement of technology, it is undeniable that the internet is having a negative impact on our young society. Therefore, it is argued by most individuals that some strict steps should be taken in order to save our generation from such harmful content. However, it is the role of the government to ban their streaming on social platforms. I think it's a good decision if the ministry should look at this matter. I will further discuss this in my essay below.

In their advertising, businesses nowadays usually emphasise that their products are new in some way. Why is this? Do you think it is a positive or negative development?

In recent days, when making advertisements, corporates tend to reiterate the novelty of their goods. In my opinion, enterprises are prioritizing it as a measure of attracting consumer’s attention and promoting sales, and this trend has a negative impact on consumer behaviours.

Telling the truth at all times is not essential. On some occasions it is necessary to tell lies, and it is wrong to tell the truth. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

It is argued that saying truth is like a holy thing, so we cannot accept any exception for it. But we know that a considerable number of situations in reality exist that make us more flexible. Furthermore, sometimes our status leads to a point that telling details to the others may make a bad challenge between our relatives. I strongly believe that professional and practical behaviour is a necessary attribute for our social life.
