week. They are his former colleagues from the army, a married couple from Edmonton. Actually, Annabelle is French and has lived here 19 years, and Claude is from Quebec but he calls himself "Acadian". They are very nice people and their English is almost as good as mine. They were staying here for 3 days and they had a good opportunity to test my fluency. The next morning after they arrived Annabelle invited me to join her to visit a dinosaur valley. These places are called "bad sands" where nothing can be grown unless fossils. Of course, I agreed. For me, as a newcomer, the situation forces me to treat myself as an adult child who tries to discover everything around me.

Some people say that outdoor activities benefit children's development rather than computer games. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?
Since the advent of computer games, youngsters have found an alternative to traditional means of play such as, playing outside. Some people believe that playing outside is more beneficial to a child's development. While playing on consoles can bring temporary enjoyment, I strongly agree that outdoor activities are more beneficial to a young one's growth. This essay will discuss why the positives of outdoor activities far outweigh gaming.

Some people feel that there should be a fixed punishment for each type of crime. Others feel that the circumstances of an offence should be taken into account when deciding on a punishment. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.
Dealing with criminals is often one of the most controversial activities since the prosecutor have to judge the matter based on both the moral side and the harsh legal side. Different types of crimes have vastly different punishments that can also be based on the context of the crime. This has led some people pushing to set a unchanged punishment for a certain type of wrongdoings, while others argued that the circumstances of the crime matters. This essay will discuss both views, as well as giving its own opinion.

In some countries around the world men and women are having children later in life. What are the reasons for this development? What are the effects on society and family life?
Nowadays, people choose to push back having and raising next generation in certain countries. At the same time, however, there is some uncertainty as to the causes of this trend and its influence on societal and personal life. In this essay, I will examine the reasons and impacts of this development to reach a conclusion.

Some people believe that nowadays we have too many choices, to what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?
As society advances, people are having more choices than ever before. Some believe that the growing number of options could enrich people’s lives, as people are more likely to do what they want. In contrast, others believe that too many choices could harm themselves. From my perspective, the ladder is more reasonable.

Rich countries often give money to poorer countries, but it does not solve poverty. Therefore, developed countries should give other types of help to the poor countries rather than financial aid. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Wealthy countries tend to grant money to less-developed countries in order to solve poverty, however, the outcome is unsatisfactory. Thereby, this prompt suggests that other kinds of help should be given to address this issue. I personally agree with the statements and this essay will elucidate more arguments to back this prompt.
