The US film industry has too much influence on the film industry around the world. Governments have a duty to invest money in their own film industries to protect and develop their cultures. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?
Hollywood largely influenced other film industries across the world. Thus, it is believed that the central government ought to invest capital for production of local films to safegaurd the culture, and represent it globally. I agree with this notion, considering the fact that every nation has its own identity, language, morals and values that are inculcated into films. Further, investment in domestic production houses bring worldwide recognition; contributing to the national GDP and generating employment opportunities.

The growing numbers of overweight people is putting a strain on the health care system in an effort to deal with the health issues involved. Some people think that the best way to deal with this problem is to introduce more physical education lessons in the school curriculum. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
The growing number of overweight people makes a health care system a more concerning issue to be tackled immediately. It is often believed that school education plays the most important role in encouraging exercise. I partially agree with this, for physical education at school encourages students to participate in different kinds of exercise regardless of the importance of food they eat at home to avoid obesity.
