Some people think that the increase in international travel has a negative impact on the environment and should be restricted. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?
Over the years, governing bodies have continuously passed bills to restrict international travel as it is detrimental to the environment. Developing countries are strongly against this idea because 70% of their income is derived from the influx of foreign visitors, whereas developed countries support the government’s decision. This essay completely agrees with the stance of the advanced countries. I believe that foreign trips are hazardous to the climate and that tourists tend to act inhumanely in new societies.

Some people think that students should play more team sports, such as football and volleyball, rather than individual sports, such as running and swimming. Do you agree?
Youngsters are often encouraged to take part in sports; however, some people believe that children should solely play group sports like basketball and football and avoid activities such as swimming and running. I do not agree with the above notion and argue that every kind of sport supports personality development but in different ways.

What are the key advantages and disadvantages of homeownership, and how do these factors influence an individual's decision to rent versus buy a home?
In recent years, owning a home has become increasingly popular among people. From my perspective, many individuals find the idea of owning a house more reasonable than renting. In this essay, I will explain the reasons why people prefer to buy a house rather than renting one, along with the positive and negative aspects of this choice.
