With an increasing population working from home, some feel that this will bring an end to the traditional office setting. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
In this technology-driven era, the way of working slowly shifts to be much more flexible, such as remote working. Society believes working remotely will eventually replace working on-site at the office. I disagree with this because there are still plenty of jobs that can only be performed on-site, such as construction workers. I believe this new way of working will only be one of many and will not majorly impact the work-from-office setting.

In some countries, more and more people are becoming interested in finding out about the history of the house or building they live in. What are the reasons for this? How can people research this? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge and experiences.
In modern society, exploring the history of houses or buildings has become common for the owners. In my opinion, this growing trend is based on the needs of the estate market, the owners have to weigh the value of their estates in the market to predict the future transactional price when they need to sell the property. Therefore, people may acquire the resources or documents from national offices.

Everybody should donate a fixed amount of their income to support charity. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
The idea that every individual ought to contribute a set proportion of their income to charitable causes is increasingly discussed in many societies. While this proposal aims to promote fairness and social responsibility, I only partially agree with it because mandatory or fixed donations may create inequality and reduce genuine willingness to help.

Some people think that the main purpose of schools is to turn children into good citizens and workers, rather to benefit them as individuals. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Nowadays, many humans state that a fundamental role in schools is teaching children to become excellent residents and workers instead of bringing several positive effects on individuals. From my point of view, although it is important to be good citizens, improving the progress of children is also essential.
