In contemporary world, there is a growing argument about the increasing number of cars that spoil the aesthetic appeal of the cities. Advocates of banning driven cars in cities believe that they spoil the visual appearance of the streets and buildings, in addition to causing congestion.

Nowadays, experience is more valued in the workplace than knowledge in many countries. Do you think the advantages of this outweigh the disadvantages? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your knowledge or experience.
In today's competitive job market, there is ongoing debate about whether employees are more valued for their experience or for their knowledge. While some argue that experience is crucial as it equips employees with practical skills and an understanding of the work environment, others contend that knowledge, especially when up-to-date and specialized, is more important as it enables employees to perform tasks efficiently and innovate. In my opinion, while knowledge is essential, experience tends to be more valuable in the workplace because it encompasses not only technical skills but also interpersonal abilities and problem-solving competencies.
