In some countries, owning a house rather than renting one is very important for people. Topic: house and accomodation + property Why might this be the case? Do you think this is a positive or negative situation?
The members of certain areas claim that being a houseowner can bring more benefits than being a tenant. The following essay will first suggest that the biggest reasons for this assumption are the stability and the potential for long-term investments, and I think this is a negative trend since it exacerbates the financial strain and owners are unable to withdraw the expenses if they intend to vacate.

Motor vehicle crashes are one of the leading cause of teen deaths. To prevent such road accidents, the government should ban people under 24 to drive motor cycles. To what extent do you agree or degree?
In the modern world, large amounts of teenagers are getting into fatal motorcycle crashes with the numbers increasing rapidly. While many argue, that this problem can be easily solved by creating a new law that would prohibit anyone under 24 to be able to drive a motorcycle, I personally believe that with the right precautions, there would be no need to go into such lenghts.

A lot of money need to fix and look after old buildings and this fees ought to save up on luxury buildings instead. I tend to disagree with this idea because of the benefits of conserving old buildings on the economy, environment, pollution and people's health and it is more economical to conserve buildings, another point is that some old buildings are historic.
