What to study at university has attracted different opinions. While some people argue that students can study subjects of their choice, other think that universities should only offer certain key subject areas. I personally believe that everyone should be able to choose their areas of study.
There are various reasons why people believe that students should be forced to study subjects that will be useful in the future. They might assert that the subjects like science and technology are more beneficial than certain art degrees for the current technology-based development of the world. For example, the healthcare sectors always need scientific research to figure new methods and medicine to cure diseases and help people live more healthily. Additionally, due to that development, there will be more job opportunities in the science and technology sectors. Thus, it is more likely for those who take these courses to get a job in the future.
However, from personal perspectives, students should have freedom to pick the majors of their choice. It is because everyone has their own dream careers and they should choose the course that benefits their future profession. To be precise, it is better for those who want to be a teacher to study pedagogy rather than IT. Furthermore, students feel more motivated when studying what they are fond of. Passions are of importance to succeed in life. Therefore, it is vital to pursue education with enthusiasm and success will eventually follow. Lastly, every subject can contribute visibly to society which is created by various areas, including social sciences and arts, besides science and technology. If doctors save patients’ lives, painters people’s mind and heart through their paintings and they are equally significant.
To conclude, it is apparently several advantages of studying certain key subjects like science and technology. However, it is still better if students follow their passion and study what they are interested in. By doing that, they can both become successful in their life and contribute to the society.

In 1970 the pueblo consisted of a wide forest landscape with a large farmland and only a few constructions, especially 2 houses and one shop.

Digital Technologies include Cloud Computing and Mobile Applications which have emerged as the main reason for rapid economic growth.
Digital India will change the face of many states,
For example, Himachal Pradesh where many basic things such as the health care system, education and online business. Due to digital India people who do online banking has also increased to a very large extent.

DISADVANTAGES:
The major disadvantage of digital India will be online fraud. The uneducated people will fall into this trap. Over and above, it may also lead to cyberbullying.

Yashank- Hello suhird, it’s great to see you again
Suhird – Hi, it's great seeing you too, how long has it been? It must be more than 6 months. I'm doing good. How about you?
Yashank- Not too bad
Suhird- What is new?
Yashank- Well I wanted to meet you because I really want to talk to you about my friend.
Suhird- Okay
Yashank- Well, He doesn’t bring his books and disturbs others during study hours. He keeps on speaking and never lets other study. Due to him, I am not able to concentrate in class.
Suhird- Did you try to talk to him?
Yashank-Yes but he neither listens to me nor my friends.
Suhird- Do teachers know about him?
Yashank- I guess, but they just ignore him while they are teaching.
Suhird – why don’t you try talking to him again?
Yashank- I have done several times, but he still doesn’t pay attention.
Suhird- I think you should talk to his class teacher about him. Since they have more experience than us in handling students.
Yashank- OKAY, it sounds like a good idea. I will also ask him to make the subject more interesting and practical so that he is able to concentrate more on his studies.
Suhird- Do you need help with anything else?
Yashank- No, thank you for your time.
Suhird – No problem brother. Bye
Yashank- Bye

Dear Sir/Madam,
I'm writing to you regarding my lost identification card.
I missed my ID card yesterday when I was coming on my way to the University, I noticed that it wasn't with me the moment I wanted to enter the University, I faced a real problem from the gate , as well as I had been forbidden from accessing the Library, I couldn't progress in my research. And not only that , to attend my chemistry laboratory I had to bring a permission from the dean, the problem that the permission I had was valid for only 48 hours, until I can get my new identification card.
As I need the card in every step in my college, most of my Business is hanging for now , I wouldn't be able to review some references or borrow them from the library, moreover , I have to submit my final research within one week , as the deadline is about to due , every day has a great value to me . Other problem , the missing laboratory classes are very hard to be substituted.
For all above reasons ,I want to apply for new card , hopefully, as soon as possible, in order to attend my classes and be able to finish my research in time , as you know the temporal permission would be expired by the end to today , I'm wondering if any official form should be filled . I brought my passport as requested and two passport size photos, if any further documents will be need , kindly contact me .
Your sincerely
Rehab Idries

The given charts depict two different ways of protection for homes which are at risk of being flooded, and both of the houses are raised above ground level. The main difference between the two protection plans is whether there is a stopbank or not In the first diagram, the function of a stopbank as a barrier against flooding from nearby rivers is illustrated. This barrier, depicted as a mound near a drain/river, exceeds the predicted height of a 100-year flood. Additionally, the houses can be built on stilts to prevent flooding from rainwater, and there is a floodgate beneath the stopbank opened to allow the internal winding to drain off into the river. In contrast, the second illustration portrays the dire consequences of a house lacking such protection, directly exposed to overflowing water. In this case, buildings are also raised on stilts. The height of the stilts is 300mm above the 100-year flood level which is called freeboard. This measurement can secure the house against the flood.
