"Some experts believe that it is better for children to begin learning a foreign language at primary school rather than secondary school. Do the advantages of this outweigh the disadvantages?"
In today’s globalised world, learning a foreign language is seen as a crucial skill. Some experts argue that it is more effective for children to start learning a new language at primary school rather than waiting until secondary school. While there may be some drawbacks, I strongly believe the advantages of early language education far outweigh the disadvantages.

The youth in many countries are unemployed and unskilled, while at the same time, the military services are in need of people. Compulsory military service is beneficial and necessary. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?
It is widely believed that youngsters in a number of nations are without jobs and do not have any skills, however, the army is actively recruiting new members. Hence, service in the armed forces is helpful, and I partially agree with the statement that military service should be compulsory, as it is helpful, yet can be traumatic.

We cannot help everyone in the world who needs help, so we should only be concerned with our own communities and countries. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?
It is widely believed that it is impossible to help everyone who are in need on an international scale. Therefore, people should concentrate on solving the problems of their own communities and nations. From my point of view, I partly agree with this statement.

Some people think that the teenagers should concentrate on all subjects at school. Others believe that teenagers should focus on the subject they are the best at or they are most interested in. To what extent do you agree?
Education at school provides a variety of subjects so that the young ages can learn numerous studies, while some people argue that they need to focus on the fields linked to their passions and interests. In my opinion, I strongly agree with the way of giving them a chance to choose only one aspect because it can lead them to positive developments, such as being satisfied and a stable prospect.
