holiday. They just brought back all the memories we made together. It had to be one of the best times I have ever had thanks to you guys and your warm hospitality. I’m sorry I couldn’t write you back earlier. Just after my return, I had to take up a new role in my office, which had been hectic and I had been working around the clock, barely allowing me any spare time. Things are getting settled now and it’s not as tough as it used to be. How about you two with other friends come here during next summer holiday? I’d love to have you guys over and show you around the town. We can go hiking on a nearby route, experience traditional foods, and buy handicrafts from local vendors. Let me know if you guys plan

accordingly

Some people believe that professionals, such as doctors and engineers, should be required to to work in the country where they did their training. Others believe they should be free to work in another country if they wish. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.
An array of masses argue that individuals who are doing professional jobs like engineering and healthcare services must remain and serve the country where they are educated because it is their responsibility to cater their service at least for some duration for the people who paid for their education indirectly while others say they should have the freedom to migrate and work as they like since it is their right to choose a place to work. However, in my opinion, they both are significant and need to be decided in a balanced way.

Work opportunities often vary from place to place. Places such as the city or developed countries offer higher salaries and better benefits. I believe that seeking greener pastures often entails the sacrifice of moving away from the life you have known.

Some people think it is no longer necessary for children to go to school because they can do all their learning online. Others believe learning in schools is essential. Discuss both views and give your opinion.
There can be little doubt that since kids can learn anything online therefore it is unnecessary for youngsters to attend the traditional school. The writer of this essay argues that gaining knowledge on the internet is far more convenient than the conventional school due to the flexibility of schedule and reducing the potential of bullying.
