The only way to improve road safety is to give more stricter punishments for driving offences. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this view?
Stricter punishment means there is an enhancement on the driving misbehaviours. To a small extent I agree on this argument. In the following essay I will explain on the supportive and disapproving reasons.

Many people in poor countries die from diseases that are curable because they cannot afford the medication required. Do you believe that drug companies should make their products available at reduced prices in these countries? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge and experience.
Medication is fundamental in our lives to help people recover from illness. Poor countries suffer from a lack of remedies as their financial status is too low to buy them. It is my view that companies may be obligated to afford available products at a lower cost for these people, and the government shall help.

Today, the high sales of popular consumer goods reflect the power of advertising and not the real needs of the society in which they are sold. To what extent do you agree or disagree? You should write at least 254 words.
The high sales of popular consumer goods today are often attributed more to the influence of advertising than to genuine societal needs. I largely agree with this perspective, as advertising significantly shapes consumer preferences and creates artificial desires. However, it would be simplistic to ignore the role of actual demand entirely.

Language teachers should concentrate on giving feedback to students when they do good work, rather than on criticising bad work.
