schools etc.

This

will bring a severe change in the society and will improve the quality of life. It should be available to every citizen irrespective of their income and social status. The public services indulge the primary needs of a person while artist and musicians does not cure the disease or build the houses, so,

would be the

option.

For instance

, damaged roads and potholes on roads can cause serious accidents which might threaten or endanger to someone’s life. On the same side, Road inspection and reconstruction can help to prevent the accidents. That’s why

On the other hand

, arts,

music

and theatre are not the wastage of money since they are the integral part of society’s culture and tradition of the nation. Arts,

music

and theatre draw people’s attention towards their significant roles. Visiting exhibitions to praise an artist’s hard work in his/her paintings, listening

and watching

are the common ways for relaxation and entertainment.

Thus

invest a small amount of money on art sector too as they

It is a well-known law in a lot of countries that when young men reach a certain age, it is mandatory to join the military service after they finish school.

It is often argued that it is difficult to get children to read. Why do you think this is? What measures could be taken to encourage children to read more? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.
In this generation, parents are frequently debating about their children. Especially, they feel hard, when they ask their children to read books. From my perspective, I totally agree with the statement. The main reason why children are not willing books is that a huge number of words are printed on every page of the book. Instead of conveying the message of books in words, we can try to transfer the knowledge in other ways. So, I will discuss the issue of why the kids are finding it hard to book, and what the ways to improve their reading skills.
