In many countries it is now illegal to smoke in public places. It is only fair that people who wish to smoke should have to leave the building. Do you agree or disagree?
Many countries have adopted a ban on smoking in general places and fines have been imposed on violators. Furthermore, nations agree that a person who wants to smoke should choose an empty place for himself. Because, smoking in public can also have a negative impact on the health of others, especially children and sick persons.

In many countries people pay an admission fee to enter museums. Some people believe that it is reasonable for museums to charge admission fees to visitors. Others believe that museums should be completely free of charge and that visitors should not have to pay to enter. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.
Museums, as popular tourist attractions, are frequently visited for both recreation and education, especially by young people. While some believe it is appropriate to charge an admission fee, others argue that museum entry should be completely free. I support the view that charging visitors a reasonable fee is justified, as it supports the sustainability and maintenance of museums.

Some people believe that unpaid community service should be a compulsory part of high school programs(for example working for a charity, improving the neighbourhood or teaching sports to younger children.) To what extent do you agree or disagree?
There are some people who think that it is better for unpaid community service to be a compulsory scheme in high schools. However, I completely do not believe this opinion because it is clear that doing mandatory jobs could be exhausting and students cannot understand the value of their actions.

People from all around the world have constant access to mobile phones, which creates an environment for the popularity of language translation apps to continue growing. They are believed to have more benefits than it has it’s downsides.

Some people say that advertising is extremely successful at persuading us to buy things. Others people think that advertising is so common that we no longer pay attention to it. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.
Nowadays, the advertising industry has expanded. Although some opine that most people's purchases are occurred because of advertisements, some others argue that such procedure has become conventional and it is not anymore attractive for individuals. I agree with the first perspective and both notions will be discussed in the following paragraphs.
