It is important to give children an opportunity to become independent and make decisions from early age. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
People hold distinctive opinions regarding a debate which is linked to youngsters should be self-sufficient or not. Some people claim that children should be independent and make their own decisions, while others think that kids should not be independent. In my opinion, athough there are plausible arguments to support this perspective, there are also reasons to disagree with it.

Formal examinations are the only effective way to assess a student's performance. Continual assessment, such as coursework and projects, is not a satisfactory way to do this. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?
Nowadays, formal examinations are a standard method of fairness in the evaluation process to evaluate the student’s performance. Formal examinations can evaluate skills such as learning and critical thinking in stressful situations but I totally disagree that formal examinations are the only effective way to assess a student’s performance because formal examinations cannot evaluate the creative skill and survival skill. I think continual assessment is the other effective way to assess a student's performance.

The growing number of overweight people is putting a strain on the healthcare system in an effort to deal with the health issues involved. Some people think that the best way to deal with this problem is to introduce more physical education lessons in the school curriculum. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Owing to the problems which a growing population of overweight people cause for the healthcare system, some people think that the key to solving these issues is to have more sport and exercise in schools. I completely agree that this is the best way to tackle the issue of deteriorating public health in relation to weight.

Young people are more likely to be involved in car accidents, therefore the legal driving age should be raised to 22 years old. Do you agree or disagree with this statement?
It is known that young adult lack attention while driving as they are not fully focused on the road, therefore this behaviour leads them into car accidents. In different nations the legal age of driving varies and even have different rules. I believe that not the driving age is the problem that causes car accidents,but most likely their reckless behaviour is one of the main factor for this statement.

Some university students want to learn about other subjects in addition to their main subjects. Others believe it is more important to give all their time and attention to studying for a qualification. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.
Some people who does their higher education prefer to study additional areas outside the targeted one, while others think that it is more crucial to focus and spend time on a qualified goal. While investing all to the prefered degree can ease the money-making process later on, I believe learning more about other topics is better because it makes us more developed individuals.
