There is a lot of pressure on young people today to succeed academically. As a result, some people believe that non-academic subjects, such as physical education and cookery, should be removed from the school syllabus so that children can concentrate on academic work. To what extent do you agree or disagree? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge and experience
In modern societies, it has been quite common to pressurise the young mind, some people argue that it will help them to cope in the future, whereas others say it's a suppression of their childhood freedom. I partially agree that children's education should be based on their interests rather than what parents believe.

Media outlets often find themselves in turmoil in choosing issues to present to the public. Although they consider a lot of aspects, bad accounts are usually more common to find rather than pleasant ones. This leads people to argue that a good narrative must be delivered, or perhaps even more reported.
