Money spent on space exploration is a complete waste. Governments could better spend this money on other things to benefit the nation. To what extent do you agree or disagree? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge and experience.
For decades, many countries have spent public funds aiming to explore the galaxy. In this regard, it is argued that governments would better use this budget to enhance the nation. This essay completely agrees with this statement because there are much more consequential problems to solve using that money in addition to the fact that space exploration doesn't guarantee any new finding.

Nowadays, many people decide to spend a period of their time outside the country, to live, work, or try a new experience. It is not always an easy decision, and it is common to feel homesickness. This feeling is normal, especially if you are living in another environment, outside your comfort zone.

Some people say that music is a good way of bringing people of different cultures and ages together. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?
There is no denying the fact that music plays a big role in human life and is enjoyed by people all around the world. While it is a commonly held belief that music is a powerful tool that connects people from different cultures and age groups, there is also an argument that opposes it. In my opinion, I consider that music does bring people together, no matter their background or age.

With society advancing towards career growth along with a better lifestyle, there are few individuals who still prefer staying local in their hometown for the biggest part of their lives.

If Indonesia does not exist, a day on the Earth would be significantly shorter than 24 hours. But beautiful Indonesian archipelagic features reside and continue their daily work of diverting, trapping, and disrupting one of the Earth’s most voluminous water flows, known as the thermohaline, resulting in the Indonesian Throughflow. In addition to the exclusive location, which lies along the equator and on the crossroad between two big continents (Asia and Australia) and two oceans (the Indian and Pacific Oceans), Indonesia faces complicated oceanic and atmospheric conditions but is blessed with abundant marine resources. Born and raised in Indonesia, I have witnessed the tangible impacts of unpredictable climate on Indonesian coastal communities. One of which was during my community service experience in Pangandaran, Indonesia, where local fishermen struggled to find and capture fish due to uncertain weather and environmental changes. These circumstances intrigued me to undertake mea...
