You should spend about 40 minutes on this task. Countries around the world will be facing significant challenges relating not only to the environment, but population and education as well. What problems will your country face in the next ten years? How can these problems be overcome? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience. You should write at least 250 words.
If you ask any Kazakhstan citizen what problems can Kazakhstan face in ten years in their opinion, i think 90% of them will answer that Kazakhstan will have air pollution problems. It’s very obvious and disappointing fact but it’s true. If you go up to Medeo you can clearly see the difference between pure sky and smog. The reason of air pollution is increasing quantity of fabrics and cars. If quantity of cars increases, there will be more traffics. If there is a lot of traffics, they are going to build more roads to solve the traffics problem. If they build more roads, people will continue to buy cars and pollute the air. It’s called red queen syndrome. It’s when the solution is not really solution, it makes worse. The best solution of this problem would be subway or something like LRT in Astana, which was not finished yet but it is another story. It would be great solution because in Almaty we have a lot of traffics and only one line of subway.

Some people think that all university students should study whatever they like. Others believe that they should only be allowed to study subjects that will be useful in the future, such as those related to science and technology. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.
It is argued that, in tertiary education, students should be oriented towards subjects that teach future skills, while others believe that it is in the best interest of the students to study the subjects they are interested in. Although restricting students to enrol only in science- and technology-related majors would enable them to be well-prepared for future jobs, I believe that giving them the freedom to select any courses they are passionate about would be more practical as it allows them to explore and learn about the subjects effectively.
