In certain nations, young adults study in institutions that allow them to stay with their loved ones while in other parts of the world, youngsters travel away from home to attend Universities.

Some people believe that professionals, such as doctors and engineers, should be required to work in the country where they did their training. Others believe they should be free to work in another country if they wish. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion
There are two attitudes toward some notable careers, like medics and engineers. While they have been trained in their own country, the first group would argue that, for that reason, they should serve in their own country. Another attitude is that they should work wherever they want without limitation. In my view, they should have the chance to choose their destination for work, which is closer to the latter notion. This freedom of choice in career decisions is not just a fundamental right, but also a catalyst for significant personal and professional growth in the fields of medicine and engineering.

Being a celebrity –such as a famous film star or sports personality- brings problems as well as benefits. Do you think that being a celebrity brings more benefits or more problems?
Being a celebrity, whether as a famous actor or a sports star, comes with both advantages and disadvantages. While many people believe that the benefits outweigh the challenges, I think that being a celebrity brings more problems due to the loss of privacy and immense pressure.
