Overpopulaiton in many major urban centers around the world is a major problem. what are the causes of this? How can this problem be solved?
It is common to find crowded places in cities all around the world, and this is a crucial issue for society. Some of the causes of these are that huge corporations such google, and apple are attractive to stablish business in the center of cities, and the second issue is that government gives permission to build vertical building in the center of the city. One solution for these issues is that government need to allow constructions only in rural areas, so huge corporations might feel attractive to more as well.

Some people say that the only reason for learning a new foreign language is in order to travel to or work in a foreign country. Others say that these are not the only reasons why someone should learn a foreign language. Discuss both these views and give your opinion.
In the contemporary era, with the impact of globalisation, language plays a crucial role in people’s lives. Therefore, the question of whether learning a new foreign language is only for getting jobs or experiencing overseas trips, or if there are other benefits, has become a matter of considerable debate. This essay will outline both viewpoints, and I believe that learning different languages has a wide range of advantages, apart from travel and work.

Television and newspapers play a vital role in creating mass awareness whether it be violent or not. I strongly agree that such criminal activities going on around the world should be exposed to all so that we can know that they exist and become wise beforehand.
