You should spend about 40 minutes on this task. Some people want governments to spend money looking for life on other planets. Others, however, think this is a waste of public money when there are so many problems on earth. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion. You should write at least 250 words.
There are two diametrically opposite opinions about whether governments should invest their budgets in seeking life in outer space or not, since it might be a waste of money, as there is a great number of problems on earth. This essay agrees that money should be spent on solving earth problems such as pollution and does not agree with the opposite opinion, since the price of such investigations would be prohibitively expensive.

Education, from preschool through university, should be paid for by the government and therefore free to students. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
It is a debatable topic whether the government should cover all the educational cots for citizens until they complete their university degrees. In my opinion, I agree with this statement some extent, but also disagree because this gives society to improve their educational levels, but also this decreases the number of students who eager to complete their studies. This essay will explain the reasons behind these opinions and provide examples.

Nowadays, the increasing number of people immigrating to other countries for studying has brought upon concern by many. To some folks this event is rather advantageous, while in other perspective, to pursue education abroad will bring more negative effects. I strongly agree with the former one, the experience of living in a foreign land will not just give benefits to yourself but also to the extended part of our community.
