It is often argued that competitive sports, whether being played individually or not, should not be taught in schools. I totally disagree with removing competitive sports because they give us lots of good experience, especially

teamwork

and friendships.

Firstly

teamwork

is obtained through hardships and challenges, in which all competitive sports have. Sports which played in the competitive environment require us to build a

teamwork

in order to win the game. So, it is reasonable for schools

to teach

Suggestion

teach

this

teamwork

to students through organising

sport

competitions.

For example

, most Thai schools have a dedicated day for sports competitions.

Then

they divide students

Suggestion

into

teams and make them participate lots of competitions and races. The results are impressive, most of the students gather together to do lots of things as one and interact with each other

Suggestion

every occasion that related to

sport

day,

such

as,

sport

drills and trainings.

Also

, the

sport

day itself, is even organised by students in most parts.

Therefore

teamwork

can be learned easily and effectively through sports competition.

Secondly

, friendships are

also

made by putting at least two athletes compete with each other. It is widely known that most athletes do have interactions not only within their own teams, but

also

their opponents.

For instance

, the relationship between two famous footballers, Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi. They have met with each other in lots of time, especially in football matches on the pitch when both of them faced off with each other. There was even in one occasion that both Ronaldo’s and Messi’s son played with each other.

That is

an illustration that competitions on the field don’t make enemies, but make friends. In conclusion, competitive sports are very beneficial to lots of us, especially for young students.

Teamwork

and friendships are made and nurtured during there are sports competitions.

Thus

, it is relevant to retain competitive sports in our curriculum.

Improvements in health, education and trade are essential for the development of poorer nations. However, the governments of richer nations should take more responsibility for helping the poorer nations in such areas. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?
It cannot be denied that growth in areas like medicine, education, and trade is crucial for the upliftment of economically backward societies. Some believe that this assistance must be provided by the affluent nations on a larger scale. I strongly agree with this notion because it will help the poorer countries to come out of the poverty trap and in turn reward the developed countries with added revenue as well as cheap labor.

Many people believe that a country’s wealth is dependant on the health of its citizens. Other people argue that education is a better indicator of a nation’s wealth and well-being. What is your opinion? What are some other factors that contribute to the growth and prosperity of a country?
there are numerous gauges to the country's overall wealth. Some might argue that the citizen's health should be the primary indicator of a country's well-being, while others believe that education is a better measure. Personally, I believe that education is the rightful measure to assess the country's financial state, however, other factors like infrastructure should not be overlooked.

It can be difficult for small local shops to compete with large supermarkets and with on-line shops. How does this affect local communities? What could be done to improve this situation?
Nowadays there is more choice for the consumer than ever before. Large supermarket chains sell products from around the world at rock bottom prices. We are also able to buy anything we desire from the internet and, often, have it delivered the next day. However, this comes at the detriment of small local shops, and our local communities. I would suggest that we need to take measures to address this problem.

Some people believe that professionals, such as doctors and engineers, should be required to work in the country where they did their training. Others believe that they should be free to work in another country if they wish. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.
There have been competing views on whether skilled workers should work in the country that trained them. In my opinion, they should be granted freedom of movement in order to achieve their career fulfilment.
