Some believe children should be taught to give speeches and presentations in school. Why is this? What other skills do you think it is important to be taught in schools?
It is argued that lessons on public speaking and preparing visual aids should be included in academic programmes at school. One of the main reasons is to ensure that children develop essential skills to communicate effectively in their future jobs. In addition to this, I am of the opinion that skills such as foreign language or computer coding play an equally important role for the same reason and hence should be added to their routine lessons.

Some people believe that there are many reasons that can motivate a person to keep working for the same company whereas others say that money is the main reason. Do you agree or disagree
It is thought by a particular part of the society that there is a number of non-financial reasons why workers are willing to remain in the same organization, while others believe that the population works where the salaries are higher. In my opinion, the major part of the public works in places they want to rather than hunting for higher payments.

When designing buildings people should consider the intended use rather than appearance. Do you agree or disagree?
Nowadays, the society tends to burn a fortune when it comes to designing their ideal home or office. It is argued that, when planning the outlay of buildings, regardless of the looks, people should focus on the utilitarian aspect, which I do agree with.

Living in a country where you have to speak in a foreign language can cause serious social problems as well as practical problems. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
One of the most conspicuous trends in todays world is people migrating to foreign countries and speaking foreign language. There are some people believe that migrants might face difficulty to socialise with foreigners culturally. On the other hand, others argue that the problems are minimal, if people are open to accept changes to their traditional roles. I totally agree that foreign accent will not create problems and the below paragraphs will explain them in detail.
