Some people think that a sense of competition in children should be encouraged. Others believe that children who are taught to cooperate rather than compete become more useful adults. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.
It is said that kids should be raised to be competitive, while others think that cooperation will be more valuable as they enter adulthood. This essay will make the case that although competing with other peers brings success to children, being able to work as a team will be more beneficial later in life.

In some countries, an increasing number of people are suffering from health problems as a result of eating too much fast food. It is, therefore, necessary for governments to impose a higher tax on this kind of food. Do you agree or disagree?
It is argued that governments should levy a tariff on junk food because the number of health risks associated with consuming this kind of food is on the rise. This essay agrees that a higher rate of tax should be paid by fast-food companies. Firstly, alcohol and tobacco companies already pay higher taxes and secondly, higher taxes could raise prices and lower consumption.

Write a letter to your neighbour requesting that something be done about the dog. Include in your letter: Your reason for writing What you would like to happen A nice, respectful style
Hello July, I hope this letter finds you in radiant health and in the best of spirits. I am writing to express a concern over your dog Milo. Recently, my mother had brought couple of plants from California for our garden. Moreover, the palnts are rare to find in our locality. Hence, we are taking extra care of the plants. Further to this, it has been known to you that we also adore Milo like our own puppy. While I was returning home, I have found her in the garden. As soon as I noticed her, I run towards the backyard but he had already destroyed two of the palnts.

Some children spend hours every day on their smartphones. Why is this the case? Do you think this is a positive or a negative development?
One of the most prevalent trends in the contemporary world is the cumulative increase in smart devices among youngsters. Large companies are developing different strategies and attract undergraduates. In my point of view, this is a negative development, in which technology restricts the growth of teenagers’ mental strength. This stance will be proven by carefully analysing how it is not beneficial for students.
