Most of the people send text messages rather than calling. Explain the reasons for it. Do you think sending text message is an advantage or disadvantage?
Through development of technology, we have found two main ways to communicate long distance, phone calls and text messages. Both help us in reaching another person miles away. Although, sending text messages may rather serve a disadvantage in comparison to calling. Text messages may give people the wrong impression as we can interpret it in different ways.

Some people think that it is beneficial for children to do paid work, while others think that it can be harmful for children. What are the advantages and disadvantages for children doing paid work?
Although some people suppose that it is advantageous for children to have paid work, others believe that can be dangerous for youngers. Children can learn some neccessary skills, but they suffer from serious problems. On the one hand, doing paid work brings some major benefits for children. Firstly, being employed helps kids understand the value of money. This is a vital lesson to learn as it teaches them not to waste money. Secondly, working is advantageous because children take first steps in learning money management. As for me, now I have a part time job, so I have a small amount of money. I always think of how to spend it properly and how to save it. In short, understanding the value of money and the money management skill are nessessary for children to develop into self-supporting adults and ready the society and work force.

In the comming years, people will lose their intrest in buying printed books or newspapers due to availability of E-books and online newspapers for free. I am not totally agree with this opinion, beacuse offline ones cause less eye problems and also touching papers instead of electronic devices is more pleasurable.
