Some people claim that the latest

information

is mostly from newspapers rather than other sources. I totally disagree with

this

opinion

First

of all,

newspaper

is no longer the best

way

to stay informed on the latest news. Newspapers are generally published only once a day, reporting stories that happened on the previous day. As a kind of printed media, newspapers need to convey

information

in words.

Such

way

of reporting news inevitably causes some delay because even the most experienced journalists need some time for wording after collecting sufficient materials.

In contrast

, electronic media have the ability to deliver the most up-to-date news in no time. These forms of media

such

as TV and online news live stream use microphones and cameras to transmit both audio and visual real-time

information

to the audience. It is

therefore

fair to say that nowadays new media can outperform

newspaper

in terms of immediacy.

Secondly

, I

also

disagree that

newspaper

is more influential than other media because of the rising power of smart phones. Nowadays, when smart phones have been widely used, increasingly more people have shifted their main

way

of getting news to social media and phone applications. These news platforms can provide a tremendous amount of

information

and cater to the viewers' preference with the help of the algorithm. On

this

aspect,

newspaper

obviously cannot compete with smart phones because there is limited space in each issue for news coverage. Even the most prestigious and oldest news agencies have operated their own social media and launched their phone applications to showcase their articles because only in

this

way

can their news get most exposures to their readers. In conclusion,

newspaper

is neither the most efficient

way

to get informed nor the most influential form of media.

Some people think that a sense of competition in children should be encouraged. Others believe that children who are taught to co-operate rather than compete become more useful adults. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.
People have different views about whether children should be taught to be competitive or co-operative. While a spirit of competition can sometimes be useful in life, I believe that the ability to co-operate is more important.

Around the world, rural people are moving to cities and urban areas, so populations in the countryside are decreasing. Do you think that this is a positive or negative development?
Majorities of the countries went to the same problem, which is the decreasing number of people in rural areas because of mass urbanization from the countryside to the urban cities. In my opinion, this issue results in detrimental side effects such as the high gap of infrastructures and economic equality in each area.
