University education should be free to everyone, regardless of income. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
University education is a place where people can get a higher level of learning. Hence, people think that it should be accessible to anyone regardless of their financial status. I strongly agree that any country should make it free of cost not only because it is stated in the Human Rights Declaration, but also to generate more individuals with a higher quality.

University students often focus on one subject. However, some people think that universities should encourage students to learn a range of other subjects. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
In contemporary education, designing a curriculum for university students has become a heated topic among people in society. Some people believe that focusing on one important subject is more beneficial for students to pursue their dreams. However, others argue that learning a range of other subjects creates more job opportunities. In this essay, I will examine both perspectives and provide my viewpoints on this matter.

In some countries, owning a home rather than renting one is very important for people. Why might this be the case? Do you think this is a positive or negative situation?
Possessing a property is considered crucial, compared with renting from owners, in some states. I contend that this perception occurs due to the importance of tangible assets. Also, I believe that it is a negative tendency because properties are not necessarily attainable for low and middle income populations, and it may create a social pressure of labeling people without a property as a 'failure'.
