Television is dangerous because it destroys family life and any sense of community; instead of visiting people or talking with our family, we just watch television. To what extent for you agree or disagree with this opinion?
I think many people around the world spend their time in front of the TV and watching TV is one of the most common breaks, also many people believe that it can destroy family life and society relationships although I agree with them, I believe that the technological devices are useful for building relationships by new ways. At first, we have lovely times when we watch series and movies with our families and that’s why you invite relatives to enjoy free time together during the weekends, and television has been the easiest choice for them. Therefore, this technological device makes people happier than before.

This is because money which rich countries often give to poorer countries does not benefit them and cannot solve poverty. This essay will discuss both sides of a controversial issue, and my opinion will be provided.

With the increasing popularity of computers and calculators, student literacy is decreasing dramatically. What are the positive and negative effects the progress of science and technology has brought about?
It has been widely noted that, with the growing use of computers and calculators both in the classroom and in the home, the level of literacy and mathematical ability of students is dropping.
