Governments in many countries are replacing old buildings such as art galleries and town halls with new ones. Is this a positive or a negative development?
In a lot of countries, governments are replacing old buildings like art galleries and town halls with new buildings. I personally believe that it is a negative development because art galleries and town halls are heritage properties, and if they are replaced, the city will lose its identity. Moreover, tourists will not become interested in visiting those cities.

Some people think that parents should teach their children how to be good members of society. Others, however, believe that school is the best place to learn this. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.
Some people believe that children should be taught by their parents about how to function as useful members of society, while others believe that sending children to educational institutions is the best way for them to study this. Although the latter opinion can be beneficial in some cases, I believe that family upbringing plays a more important role in educating children to be good parts of the community.

These days, the options for majors to learn at a university have become wider. It is often said that students are supposed to only choose majors that seem to be useful in the next few years. However, the issue is not entirely straightforward and arguments can also be made against this idea. In this essay, I will discuss the debate and give a concluding view.

Many people say that we have developed into a “throw-away” culture, because we are filling up our environment with so many plastic bags and rubbish that we cannot fully dispose of. To what extent do you agree with this opinion and what measures can you recommend reducing this problem ?
Numerous people say that the society has adapted into a "throw-away" culture, due to the usage of plastic bags that pollutes the environment at the same time people are unable to properly dispose those plastics. I fully agree on the label of this society becoming a "consume and dispose" tradition and I will discuss on solutions that may be able to implement to help lessen the problem.
