In some countries, more and more people are becoming interested in finding out about the history of the house or building they live in. What are the reasons for this? How can people research this? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience. Write at least 250 words
There is an increasing number of people who interested in excavating the history of the house or building in where they live. I think people doing that because they have the cognitive to protect the historical value of the buildings and the sense of connection that people felt within the exploration. In order to research the history of them, people can gather the knowledges and memories that elder citizens around them have and go to the libraries in their cities.

In some counties younger people are increasingly losing interest in teaching. Why is this happening? What can be done to improve the situation? Give reasons for your answer and include examples from your own experience.
In this contemporary era, it is argued that teaching jobs are not being chosen by the younger generations nowadays. I believe this is happening because most of them have started studying professional courses and opting for high-paying jobs rather than teaching. In order to improve the diversity in the job market, the government should introduce some additional policies to attract youngsters.

When standards of living increase, it is primarily urban residents, not those in the countryside, who benefit. In my opinion, this can lead to opposite problems related to population density and is best mitigated by governmental action.
