Children who are brought up in a family that does not have a lot of money are better prepared to deal with problems when they become adults than children who are brought up by wealthy parents. Do agree or disagree with the statement.
Several schools of thought have a strong conviction that youngsters who belong to middle-class families can better cope with daily challenges later in life when they become mature in comparison to children who belong to financially well-to-do families. I concur with this statement for several reasons.

Too much emphasis is given for education of the young. More government money should be spent to free time activity of young people. To what extend do you agree or disagree?
The government has spent too much on the education of students while it is argued that more government cash should be used for the purpose of organizing social activities as well as extracurricular courses. This essay will argue that it is better to involve extracurricular activities in school for young people rather than only concentrate on education.

The average standard of people's health is likely to be lower in the future than it is now.To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?
Recently, there have been a lot of discussions about health and whether it is going to improve or not. In my opinion, I think that people will become unhealthier in the future than they are now. There are many reasons that support the idea of people becoming unhealthy in the future. Firstly, one reason is that of food. People tend to eat more fast food nowadays. They tend to treat themselves with sweets and chocolate whenever they want. This appears to be because people are busier now than they used to be. So, people don’t have a chance to cook or even learn the art of cookery. Also, having a lot of unhealthy food can lead to obesity and it could be a serious issue in the future. Another reason is that technology is developing everyday. Young people enjoy buying new gadgets and the latest devices.

Some people believe that it is best to accept a bad situation, such as an unsatisfactory job or shortage of money. Others argue that it is better to try and improve such situations. Discuss both these views and give your opinion.
When one falls into a case of misfortune, for example working a poor job or being short on funds, there is one side of the population that argues that the individual should accept their case, while the other side believes that they should strive for improvement and escape their ill-fate. On close examination of both arguments, it can be gathered that seeking change can have a more positive outcome.

Write about the following topic. It is observed that, currently, more and more people are working longer hours. What are the causes of this phenomenon? What effects does this have on society? Write at least 250 words.
