Nowadays a large amount of advertising aimed at children should be banned be¬cause of the negative effects. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Nowadays, in most of the country there is the possibility for children to attend either single-sex schools or co-educational schools. In past time, male and female couldn’t go in the same school, so there were only single-sex schools and for this reason people didn’t have any choice and must send their children to that type of schools.
Consequently, now, there are more and more co-educational schools than single-sex schools which are becoming less common. Indeed, some parents don’t agree on sending their children to single-sex schools because this could cause problems in their future. Even though, single-sex schools seem to be more secure (controlled), where teachers can teach better and parents would be less worried on problems and arguments which can happen between the two different sex. Actually, these arguments are good for the development and growing of the children/prole.
For instance, in mixed school is represented the real society where people are not divided into the two sex and have to work together and collaborate. So, co-educational helps to share ideas and confront opinions among several people who will be next citizens of the world. Of course, diversity can generate fighting, but this is something that a child has to experience. (Moreover, this schools help to develop the socialization of the children and start to send them to the right way for life)
To sum up, I personally agree that children who attend single school would have some disadvantages in their future life, because society is mixed and the best time to learn how to live properly is actually childhood. In my opinion, school is a place for learning how to live with other people, for building/establish relationships and not only for memorizing topics.

The diagram given illustrates a linear process of making a paper and the stages are included in this process. Overall, it is clear that there are 9 main steps to produce a paper which can be organized into 3 stages. These include cutting down trees to transfer them, storing and processing them to manufacture papers, and finally producing papers to be consumed in different industries. The process commences with trees being chopped down. Then they are transformed by a lorry to the De-barking to be stored there. Following this, the trees are gone into a chipping machine to be chipped and prepared for the next step. Next, the chipped trees are gone into the mechanical pulping process, chemical pulping process, and hydra pulping. Then, they are cleaned and screened in order to go into a paper-making machine. Finally, it is ready to be consumed by consumers.
