It is better for people to be unemployed than being employed with a job they do not enjoy. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
There is an argument that states it is better to remain jobless instead of working in an unpleasant job. This essay totally agrees with that statement because engaging in an undesired occupation could lead to several drawbacks for both workers and employers.

Some people say that you can learn more about another country by watching television programmes and films about it than by actually visiting it. How true is this statement? Is there anything you can learn about another country by visiting it that you cannot learn by watching progammes and films about it? Give reasons for your answers and include any revelant examples from your own experience
Since the invention of television, lives have been transformed in many aspects and travelling is not an exception. It is believed that in order to know more about another nation, humans just need to watch documentaries and movies shown on it because it provides greater value than travelling in person. From my perspective, it is not exact because there are many things that tourists gain when going directly.

In many countries government are investing in new technology to deal with the public? Why is this happening? Do you think this is an appropriate use of government university?
It may indeed be true to claim technology is increasingly becoming the focus of governments and citizens around the world. In my opinion, it is quite difficult to decide whether to support or reject the statement above because each system has its good and bad points. The essay will outline the reasons why for this trend.

In the future, all cars, buses and trucks will be driverless. The only people travelling inside these vehicles will be passengers. Do you think the advantages of driverless vehicles outweigh the disadvantages?
The technologies of transportation vehicles have been developed to be driverless which will drive people to travel without any human driver anymore. The public has looked for the benefits of this technology, while some others still argue that it will have some disadvantages. I strongly believe that the disadvantage of driverless outweighs the advantages.

Some people think that language school be taught in small classes, while other people think the number of students in a language class does not matter. Discuss both views and give your opinion.
While some people claim that language schools should not teach in extended class form, others argue that the quantity of students in a class is not important. Personally, I firmly believe that the educational institution would organize a limited class for effective outcomes, I will explain both views and illustrate in more detail my opinion in this essay below.
