Would you like to live a long, calm life until 100 years old or would you prefer a shorter life but much more intense. Decide and explain your reasons.

There are many arguments about people's lifestyle. While many people believe that having a peaceful

life

and longevity may be a good choice, I would argue that quality of

life

counts. There are several reasons why

life

span and tranquility are preferable to many people. The primary reason is human curiosity about the future. People always want to know what will happen in the

20 or 30 years. If people have children, they will want to live longer to see the personal development of your own kids.

Additionally

, the human's ability is different from one another, so not all people can tolerate the difficulties. It is justifiable to make sense of why many people want to live in

this

way.

However

, I would argue that leading a short but glorious

life

is much more meaningful. All humans just live once, so it is worth risking all they have. Individuals cannot gain any significant accomplishments if they do not experience harsh time or dangerous situations. Take myself

for example

; when I was broke, I learnt many more useful lessons than I had had before.

Moreover

, human expectancy does not matter if nothing happens.

For example

, John Lennon died at the age of 40, but his

life

was full of glory. His

life

is certainly much more significant than that

life

of people who live until 100 but have no spotlights. In conclusion,

although

a long, tranquil

life

is a dream of many people, I

priotisize

a shorter lifetime

that is

full of adventures.

The quality of education is very important in our lives. While many people argue that parents teach their children better than teachers, others think that professional teachers are more qualified. I completely agree that parents are the best mentors in the world.

Many parents these days choose to send their children studying abroad. What are the causes? Is it a positive or negative development?
These days, a lot of parents send their children to complete their education in other countries. In my opinion, this is because they want their children to be independent and learn new languages which can clearly bring benefits to them.

In recent years some countries have experienced very rapid economic development. This has resulted in much higher standards of living in urban areas but not in the countryside. This situation may bring some problems for the country as a whole. What are these problems? How might they be reduced?
The countries which have advanced technology, as well as other resources, have gained a quick boost in their economy. Consequently, it has enhanced the living standard of the masses in cities, but the rural areas have been deprived of it. This one-sided benefit can cause some problems like mass migration to megalopolis areas in some nations as well as this problem can be solved by creating amenities like that of urban areas in villages.
