Some people believe that teenagers should be required to do unpaid community work in their free time. This can benefit teenagers and the community as well. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Children are the backbone of every country. So, there are people who tend to believe that youngsters should be encouraged to initiate social work as it will result in a flourished society and individualistic growth of youngsters themselves. I, too believe that this motivation has more benefits than its drawbacks.

Some people argue that it is the government's responsibility to transport children to school while others believe that parents should do that. Discuss both views and give your opinion
It is said that the government should be in charge of kids' transportation, while others think that mothers and fathers have to take their children to school themselves. This essay will make the case that although parents' workload will be lighter if kids ride the school bus, creating a family bond by driving them to school every day is more essential.

It is important for people to take risks, both in their professional lives and their personal lives. Do you think the advantages of taking risks outweigh the disadvantages?
Taking risk is an essential part in people’s lives, both personally and professionally. As all the other things in this world, taking risk has its own positive and negative outcomes to it. Nevertheless, I think the positive effects that it brings, such as building resilience and creating more opportunities, will always outweigh the main adverse outcome of having feeling of uncertainty.

Environmental degradation represents a major threat to life on Earth, but some people believe that we need to accept rather than try to stop it. I completely disagree with this idea, because I believe that we have much time to tackle this issue and reduce the human impact on the Earth's climate.

some people say that computer game are bad for children by all means; others believe that these games are contributing to children's development discuss both views and give your own opinion.
Some argue that video games are detrimental to the well-being of young people, while others contend that they also possess positive attributes contributing to their education. After a comprehensive analysis, I ultimately assert that excessive screen time can be harmful, yet dedicating a few hours to solving complex games may enhance a child's cognitive abilities.
