Some people think the increasing business and cultural contact between countries brings many positive effects . Others say it causes the loss of national identities.Discuss both of these views and give your own opnion.
With the rise of nationalism throughout the world, the pros and cons of international interactions have become a hot topic again. In my opinion, various kinds of contact between countries significantly promote the development of technology and, contrary to general preconceptions, intensify the awareness of national identities.

Although parents are responsible for raising a child, outside influence plays a key role in their development. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Over the past few decades, there has been a common belief that despite parental accountability for the upbringing of their offspring, other factors play a more crucial role in these children’s development. The writer of this essay, in light of this, is entirely convinced by this school of thought on account of formal academic education given by teachers along with real-life skills through outdoor activities.

Some scientists think that there are intelligent life forms on other planets and messages should be sent to contact them. Other scientists think that this is a bad idea and would be dangerous. Discuss both view points and give your opinion
The presence of alien species on other planets has been an interesting topic since decades. Many scientists are curious to know more about them, and believe that human beings should try to communicate with them, however, on the other hand, many advocate against it and believe that it could be dangerous for mankind. Regardless, I believe that alien species might be more intelligent and advanced than us, which might help us to develop at a much faster rate, hence, efforts should be made to establish communication with them.

Schools should teach children good behaviour and introduce ideas of "right" and "wrong". It should not only be left to parents. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
It hard to deny that school plays an impotant role in teacing children good beahviour and introduce ideas of "right" and "wrong". Therefore, such an opinion is gengerated that school should take responsbility for the moral education. However, such a statement suffers from both logical and factual fallacies, and it should be exaimed meticulously. As far as the values of children, family relationship and educational effectiveness are concerned, I strongly hold that parents should attend moral education.
