this

“Some people view teenage conflict with their parents as a necessary part of growing up, whilst others see it as something negative which should be avoided. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.”
Turning into an adult from a teenage requires some stages such as building a character or creating a perspectives. At this point there comes a question to the minds: whether having disagreement with their families should be considered as a necessary of maturing process for youngsters or this should be accepted negative thing and should be avoided. It can be easily stated that having a conflict is key element for teenages to their personal improvments since a disagreement may incentive young ones to think deeper as long as this procees manages professionally by their parents. Otherwise, a basic disagreement may lead to strain on familys’ relationship.

Some people feel that children should be able to choose the subjects they are interested in while others feel they should study the basic require subjects. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.
It is often controversial whether children should study the subjects of their interests as some people believe that learning the basic subjects is significant for the improvement of their academic performances. I support the latter view, for the basic understanding of the broad fields makes it more achievable for students to solve complex problems in the future regardless of the fact that studying an area of individual taste raises more motivation for learning.

Some children spend hours every day on their smartphones. Why is this the case? Do you think this is a positive or a negative development?
Many children would spend a big portion of their day on their smartphones. This is because smartphones offer easy access to different types of entertainment without any supervision, while also providing children with new ways of learning through various educational platforms. My stance regarding this notion is this phenomenon can be considered positive progress, as long as children using smartphones receive proper moderation by their guardians.

Many university students want to learn about different subjects in addition to their main subjects. Others feel it is more important to give all their time and attention to studying for their qualification. Discuss both views and give your opinion.
The ongoing debate about whether university students should diversify their studies beyond their primary field or concentrate solely on their major is multifaceted. In my view, while a focused approach to the major subject is essential for depth of knowledge, the inclusion of additional subjects can significantly enrich a student’s educational experience and future professional capabilities.
