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.

EDU: All Subjects Equally Useful?

Most teachers believe that all subjects at school are equally

useful.

     Most teachers believe that all subjects at school are equally useful.

People have varied interests, and therefore students want to study

different subjects at school. They think that it is better to focus on

determined subjects. But others believe that students must learn all

subjects equally.

     In my opinion, today all subjects at school play a important role for

people. Firstly, knowledge and skills obtained at school are applied.

Pupils can use it in the life. Secondly, today individual must be

comprehensively developed to achieve a great position. Finally, a

student increases the level of own culture by studying.

     On the other hand, there are those who think that students should be allowed to choose subjects they want to study. Development of the

ability in determined field and concentration on it will lead to success.

     I disagree with it, because if students do not develop

comprehensively, they will be able to exist in the world and even to

make friends.

     In conclusion, I am strongly convinced that pupils must be interested

in different subjects, as many-sided studying provides becoming

personality.

Detectives: For VS Against

Some people think that reading detectives is a waste of time.

     In today`s world there are many different kinds of books and all

people can find something suitable among the variety. However,

some think that detectives are a useless and stupid genre of books,

whereas others believe that there is no better way to spend time than

reading detectives. So where is the truth?

     In my opinion, reading crime stories brings any person many benefits

and advantages. Firstly, detectives usually have cunningly devised

motives of a crime and an investigation process. This characteristic

of the book allows readers to develop logic, observation and

understanding of human behavior, which can be very useful in real

life. Secondly, it is the best way to deal with depression because the

world of the book is able to capture and divert from real issues. As is

known, a person a little distracted from any problem later find a

solution quicker because of looking at the situation more objectively.

Moreover, we should take into account that reading books enriches

the lexicon and develops grammar skills.

     Nevertheless, many people share the opinion that reading detectives

is worthless activity. Nowadays this genre is made from a template,

so that every book is of the same plot.

     This may be true to some extent, but I assume that detectives of

different authors are varied. They have their own inner world and

fantasy, so plots of some books can be similar but it does not make

crime stories less interesting.

     In conclusion, I am firmly convinced that detectives are beneficial

books because of their ability to give food for thought, distract from

reality and develop logical thinking. I maintain that this genre cannot

be called `useless`.
