Some people believe that universities should only offer places to young students who receive high marks at school. Others think that universities should offer a place to anyone of any age. Discuss and give your opinion. Give reasons for your answer and include relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.
Some people believe that universities should only accept young students who have achieved high marks in school, as these students are often seen as future leaders. However, others argue that universities should be open to people of all ages. In my opinion, age should not be a determining factor in university admissions, and everyone should have the opportunity to pursue higher education, regardless of their age.

Some contend that the growing population of elderly people imposes burdens on governments' shoulders, while others believe that this demographic growth is far more beneficial in the face of its downturns. Although this phenomenon comes with its fair share of benefits, I have an inclination towards the former perspective.
