some people assert that it is good for college students to have part-time jobs. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
These days, it is commonly seen that students in a university have a part-time job for various purposes in addition to university studies they have. Some people believe that working as a part-time job would be beneficial to undergraduate students and I strongly agree that. I believe that it will help them acquire essential skills for employment they may need when graduate and make them more likely to be employed by employers than those who did not have a part-time job.

In many countries plastic shopping bags are the main source of rubbish, causing pollution on land and in the water, so people think they should be banned. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Plastic is a very sensitive topic for many countries across the globe. In this day and age, several first world societies consider this type of waste as taboo - it is lazy to rely on shopping bags at the store that could end up in a landfill. Since we have already replaced virtually everything that could hurt our planet already, why have we not replaced elasticated shopping bags? It is clear we must come up with a solution for a long standing problems that is causing turtles to crawl onto beaches and die.

Many animal species in the world are becoming extinct nowadays. Some people say that countries and individuals should protect these animals from dying out, while others say we should concentrate more on the problems of human beings. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.
It is true that these days, many wild animals are on the verge of extinction. Thus, many people argue that authorities and individuals should contribute to the conservation of these species. Meanwhile, there is also a widespread belief that priority should be given to human welfare. In this essay, both sides will be explored, followed by my opinion.
