A person’s worth nowadays seems to be judged according to social status and material possessions. Old-fashioned values such as honour, kindness, and trust no longer seem important. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Currently, the worth of one person seems to be valued by their social presence and net worth. Lots of great traditional values like honesty, truth, and being kind seem no longer prioritised by this generation. I strongly disagree with this statement due to the fact that there are plenty of people who still manage to hold these values. Without neglecting how the community values social status and material possessions, there are numerous goodness in this world that is already done.

All cars that burn fossil fuels should be banned and electric cars should replace them. Do you agree or disagree?
There is an ongoing debate about whether vehicles running on fossil fuels should be banned. Some state that they must be replaced by electric cars. In my opinion, all vehicles burning nonrenewable fuel sources should be prohibited and electric vehicles should serve as their alternative. Automobiles not electric in nature cause the depletion of natural resources and global warming.
