Learning Foreign Languages

Some people think that learning foreign languages is a waste of

time and money.

     In today`s world with the increasing globalization more and more

people are learning foreign languages. On this case some people assume 

that the knowing any foreign language plays a considerable role now. 

Whereas others believe that it is not worth studying it.

     In my opinion, a person should know some foreign languages. Firstly,

nowadays when global ties among countries are developing, one

should study a foreign language to obtain a well-paid, prestigious job.

Secondly, the knowing foreign languages is necessary while

travelling. And a person will not feel uncomfortable because of lack of

the language barrier.

    On the other hand, there are those who consider that a person does

not have to learn any foreign language. In their view, if you learn it, 
you waste of money. Moreover, studying a foreign language takes too 
much time.
    Nevertheless, I totally disagree with this a viewpoint, because there

are many sites in the Internet where you can acquire the knowledge

of a language. Also a person can study a language while getting to

work.
     In conclusion, I am strongly convinced that a person needs know 
foreign languages. It is a significant advantage for everyone.

ENV: Climate Change

Climate change is inevitable, it is not something we should panic

about.

      Nowadays a problem of changing climatic conditions, in particular,

global warming, is a very actual issue. Some people believe that there

is no reason to worry and we cannot stop this process, others have

much against. So where is the truth?

     In my opinion, every man should pay special attention to this serious

question. First of all, let me give an example, if climate on the Earth

changes, there will be mortality increase. Many diseases might be

caused by changing environmental state. Secondly, many kinds of

animals and plants will not acclimate to the new conditions and

therefore will also perish. It means that there will be reduced diversity

of terrestrial fauna. Finally, the majority of governments of different

countries will certainly have many difficulties, because they have to

work out a plan to solve economic, social and other problems, arising

from climate crisis.

     However, there are a lot of people think that global changing

environmental conditions do not depend on humanity and we should

not care about it. In addition, most of them think that climate change is

so far from today.

     I do not share this opinion as I am sure that human activities promote

global warming. For example, cars give off exhausts. Possibly,

people cannot stop climate change at all, but they should try to

mitigate effects of it for better life in future.

     To sum up, I am strongly convinced, that changing climate is a very

big and serious trouble for humanity. It is necessary for all of people 

to do everything possible to suspend the development of the problem.

EDU: Free Education or Paid One?

Should education be free?

      There are no doubts that good education is utterly important in the

contemporary world. In many countries people are obliged to pay if

they want to study and this is a norm of life. However, the opponents

of this system claim that the society is negatively affected by paid

education.

      Personally, I believe that both citizens and the government derive benefits

from free education. Firstly, this way the gap between the rich and the

poor is less yawning. All people, regardless of their social status and

income, should have a chance to study. Secondly, by providing

affordable education the government increases the overall intelligence

level in the country and reduces poverty. Finally, the more people are

qualified the better outlook for the future is in the global scale. The

work market is in need of enthusiastic and skillful employees who are

able to work hard for the sake of their own and the country’s

prosperity.

      Nevertheless, there is an opinion that paid education is more

effective. It is said that students treat studies more seriously when

they have to pay for it. Moreover, tuition fees enable colleges and

universities to buy expensive equipment essential for certain classes.

      Although they are partly right, I cannot help thinking about talented

poor students who cannot afford to study in a university. Their

intellectual capacity will be wasted on society and they are not going

to make a scientific breakthrough only because of a lack of money for

decent education.

      All things considered, I maintain that free education is not only

beneficial for people but also for the officials. Only intelligent and 

well-educated society is able to create a strong and developed state.

Cars Should be Banned

The car has become the most popular mean of transport in the

history of the world. However, some people say that the world

would be better without cars.

      There is no doubt that the invention of the car has changed the world

and nowadays we can hardly find a family without a car. Some people

claim that cars should be banned. In fact, there are too many cars in

our towns and cities which causes more pollution and more traffic

jams in rush hours. So, what is right in such situation?

      In my opinion, I do not mind reducing the number of cars. Without any

doubt, limited transport capacity contributes largely to the vexing

problems and people must definitely improve the situation. 

      As the matter of the fact, some people feel pessimistic about our

future with cars. They worry about pollution, poisoned air we breathe,

amount noise which are caused by cars, lack of space for green

gardens and playground.

     They are certainly right but only partly. I think our cars cannot be

banned at all. Also, using cars is very essential for people, as we can

get food using cars by delivering products to homes, business, work.

     In conclusion, I would like to say that everything is in our hands.

People can build efficient underground, tram service which will

certainly make our lives better and more comfortable. In addition,

environmentally friendly vehicles will reduce air pollution and

greenhouse gas emissions. They must be produced multitude and

sold in acceptable prices.
