Many governments in the world spend large amounts of money on art, which helps to improve the quality of people’s lives. However, governments should spend money on other things rather than art. Do you agree or disagree? Give your opinion.
Societies with a heritage in the ‘arts’ have long been considered culturally sophisticated and advanced. However, with the recent financial crisis this lavishness and expense should be questioned. Tax-payers’ money has to be spent practically rather than on cultural endeavours. Firstly, not everyone in society appreciates art, and, secondly, employment should take precedence.

While many people go to university for academic study, more people should be encouraged to do vocational training because there is a lack of qualified workers such as electricians and plumbers. Do you agree or disagree?
In today's rapidly evolving world, entering to the university is crucial. It is argued that, while many individuals go to higher educational institution for academic study, more people should be encouraged to do vocational training because there is lack of qualified workers such as electricians and plumbers. I firmly disagree with this statement and believe that drawbacks are far greater.

People are encouraged to get rid of things in order to get newest fashion and the latest Technology.Do the disadvantage of this trend outweigh its advantage.
The yield percentage of Avicennia marina extracts at different maceration times and organs is presented in Table 1. The highest yield of Avicennia marina was obtained from the leaves extracted for 72 hours while the lowest yield was found in the stem extracted for 24 hours. From the data obtained, it is evident that the leaves extracts experienced a dramatic increase in yield percentage as the extraction time gets longer while the yield of stem extracts slightly increased over time. In addition, leaves extracts have a higher yield compared to the stems from all three different maceration times. This could be explained by the similarity of the compounds and the used solvent in terms of polarity properties. Leaves as an initial place to produce and accumulate a wide range of compounds before they are transported to other parts of the plant could also affect the high percentage of yield produced in leaves.
