Some countries achieve international sporting success by building specialised facilities to train top athletes instead of providing sports facilities that everyone can use. Do you think it is a positive or negative development?
It is argued that athletes who achieve top international success are trained by professional facilities only in some countries. I agree with the idea to some extent, but I believe that common people can also be successful through publicly accessible sports facilities that everyone can use.

In many countries, students take a year off finishing school should students take a gap year before attending university? What are the advantages and disadvantages of this trend?
It is true that in many countries before students attend university, they take a year off and try to rest. I believe that spending one year on recreation can benefit students in their future studies. However, this idea has its benefits and drawbacks.

Some people believe that men and woman are equal and so women should be able to do any job they want. Others feel that men and women are not equal and therefore there are certain jobs which are not suitable for woman. What’s your opinion?
Over the last century the debates about gender equality have been becoming more and more common. Some societies support an idea of both sexes having the same rights, while others separate the kinds of jobs females and males can take in a very radical manner. There are a few key factors influencing the approach here: such as country, culture or religion.
