Many museums charge for admission while others are free. Do you think the advantages of charging people for admission to museums outweigh the disadvantages
Some museums have an admission charge while some do not. In my opinion, the drawbacks of an entrance fee are eclipsed by its benefits in the sense that the income will be ploughed back into operation and development of the museums.

The majority of news being reported is bad news such as wars, famines, accidents and crime. Why do you think that is? Do you think the news should be a balance of both good and bad news?
For decades, the broadcast of bad news has been expanded on tabloids, radio and so on. Fewer and fewer people want to pursue this kind of information. This happens because the globe suffers from a diversity of problems. It is negative progress and the number of good reports should be also published. In this essay, I will give answers to both questions property.

Some people claim that there are more disadvantages of the car than its advantages. Do you agree or disagree? Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of having a car.

Government give a lot of support to artists, even though some people think it is a waste of money that could have been used elsewhere. Discuss both views and give your opinion?
Some would argue that, it is a healthy sign as government is financing artists. While other says this money could have been used on other projects. Although, an artist need financial help in the initial stage of their career. However, I believe that there are other departments which state need to give priorities such as health care.
