Video games are very popular with children. However, some parents feel that video games can have a negative impact on their children, but others believe that they may have some positive effects. How do you feel about children playing video games? Give specific reasons and examples to support your opinion. | Indeed, video games are very popular for children. I can say that I have also play video games when I was teenager. I can´t support that children play video games. Because they get very distracting and It is very difficult to focus on the important things. There is no end and you can play video games for hours. You are also missing a lot of things, you will stay the whole at your home and you won't leave your place. It is very important doing any sport and physically activities. Furthermore you maybe have samo social interactions with friends during playing video games. But I would say that it is different meeting people in reality than only just about playing games. You can't control it, that makes it so difficult. Children are getting very familiar with computer, playing network and with children with the same preferences. At the end I can't recommend it, particularly for young children. At the other hand the also a lot of good examples with teenager which have spend a lot of time in video gaming and nowadays are succesfully and working in this field. | null |

Some university students move away and live on their own while they are attending school, but others live at home with their family while they are students. Which do you think is a better choice? Give reasons to explain your answer. | It is maybe the most challenging decision for every student to find the university where they want to study at. Besides the question what they want to study, they will also question their self where they want to study and last but no least, where they want to live. After the students successfully applied for an university, they might need to move out. Luckily there are plenty options, where they can live. For some students the campus life will be the first choice, because they need other students arround them. They like to share a bedroom and spending as much time as possible with other people. On the other hand, there are also cozy single bedroom appartments near universities. Some students are more introvert and do not like to have a crowd of other students around them. However, living on your own will let you also learn how to take care of your self. There will be no mom, who cooks a nurishing lunch for you or washing your stinky, dirty socks. This will be all part of your experience. You will learn how to deal with it and it will be the best time of your life! Your family will always be by your side and they will also support you. | null |
Some university students move away and live on their own while they are attending school, but others live at home with their family while they are students. Which do you think is a better choice? Give reasons to explain your answer. | The question rather to stay home or pay rent whilst visiting university, so that students are independant of their parents necessitates to be answered by every individual student. Fraternities are a unique opportunity to make friends and make studying fun. It is not only about studying itself, striktly speaking the whole experience is marvelous. Nobody describes your actions and you can do whatever you want. This might transpire to be more difficult that expected. For example, all the taxes and bills that do not reach you in childhood need to be taken care of and consupt your time. Additionally, you need to squander your time for looking for flats, because you propably need to move around several times. Alternatively, staying at home also has its extraordinary advantages. In accordance with your parents you could have a tranquil place to study and paying rent as well as food is none of your concerns, rather resembles plain sailing through university, than the hard path of moving out. Particullarly, families whose budget is petite facilitates their children outstanding education for little money, due to the reason that they only have to pay the tuition. Taking every apect into consideration, both options are fine. I would prefer to study away from home. All these outrageous experience in university are something, I am definitely not willing to miss. However, in the case that my study-course is offered in my city I would not move away, resulute I would end up at home untill I am finished with university. | null |
Would you like to live a long, calm life until 100 years old or would you prefer a shorter life but much more intense. Decide and explain your reasons. | Recent research indicates that the life span increases through the last decades. Even if we have a way more dynamic life than our ancestors the humanity have made a huge development in the medicine which allows us to live longer. What impact, if any, have these developments had on the general public’s opinion? There is no doubt that most of the people would want to live a long intensive life. However, we’re not able to choose for how long we can stay on the earth. Anyway, we could decide if our remaining years will be intensive or not. Let’s consider two situations. Firstly, if we could have a relatively long life indulged with plenty of leisure time. We’ll be maybe less career oriented and abandon ourselves more pastime. So, we could have more time for socializing and bring our friends and acquaintances together. Secondly, if we consider shorter life fulfilled with intension. In my opinion the master work in this case is to find the right work-life balance. Our lifestyle needs to be so aligned that we can compromise having a successful career and enough time to hang out with family, spouse and friends. The world surely be a better place to live in if anybody have a satisfied life fulfilled with enjoyment and happiness. The obvious conclusion to be drawn is that we are confronted with limited duration of lifetime, so we are enforced to use it for the best. | null |
Would you like to live a long, calm life until 100 years old or would you prefer a shorter life but much more intense. Decide and explain your reasons. | It is often discussed if there is a right to die. Many old people rather want to die instead of staying in a bed because they are not fit anymore. As a result, they would prefer a shorter but much more intense life instead of a long and calm life. In the following text, I shall consider two arguments why everyone should choose a shorter one. Firstly, you only life once. If you just spend your time with hanging around and relaxing, you will not experience something. When you are shortly before your death, it is better to say 'Wow, I made many experiences and although I haven't been living for a long time, I had a valuable life' than see nothing, isn't it? Probably the most argument is that a calming life cannot fit with a happy life. You should have your time to do what you like - no matter if you want to do sports, travel or go to work. Additionally, for real happiness you need people you love like a family and friends. Having get to know these people, you must invest your free time for them, especially a family is very time-intensive. In conclusion, you need to invest your free time for doing things you like to get completely content. In view of the above arguments, noone should waste time and start to life. Of course, it is good to relax so you get new energy for new discoveries. But in the end, it is not the years in your life that counts, it is the life in your years. | null |
Would you like to live a long, calm life until 100 years old or would you prefer a shorter life but much more intense. Decide and explain your reasons. | I believe that both of the options have their valid benefits but I myself would prefer to live a long and calm life over a short and intense one. That is because of a few different reasons. First of all life does not only consist of the adventures you experience, it is also about your friends and family. A short life would not allow you to spend as much time with them as a long one does. In the end your fast and intense lifestyle may cause emotional pain to your loved ones. Secondly I am not that adventurous as a person as well. I like to chill with my friends and relax on my own, but a real adventure scares me more than it brings me a rush and joy, wich makes the option of a longer and calmer life sound far more appealing to me. Of course I do see positive aspects of a more intense lifestyle as well. Many people ask themselves what they achieved at the end of their lives, because at last only the most exciting parts stick in your memory. A person who did plenty of those may feel more fulfilled than a person who alway chose the safe path in life. Although I could see that point as well I still believe that a calm life would be the perfect choice for me if I could take matters into my own hands. | null |
Would you like to live a long, calm life until 100 years old or would you prefer a shorter life but much more intense. Decide and explain your reasons. | A child born today is predicted to live up to at least ninety years, an age 20 years older than just fifty years ago. Furthermore, statistics assure that in the twenty-first century when almost every day a groundbreaking new medical treatment is discovered, life expectancy will increase each year about six months. But is it actually good that lives last so long or should short, but intense lives be preferred? The answer is clear, when keeping in mind that long lives are unnecessary, when having lived a short but intense life where everything wanted was achieved. Having experienced everything longed for, a long life would conversely be boring and depressing as nothing new can be discovered. Therefore, shorter but exciting lives should certainly be preferred. Additionally, what is clearly more appealing when having a shorter life is that there are usually no health issues. Having an active and fun life is accordingly achieved more easily, when being young. As a result having happy time on earth is spent much simpler, than when being older. The last and most important argument supporting the thesis that living shorter but more intensively is better than having a long life, is that dying at an old age is often connected to pain. By this, not only physical pain, caused by diseases and the aging process is meant, but also emotional pain. As a long life is lived, deaths and losses of loved ones will be experienced which can cause tremendous emotional distress. As a result the long life is not as appealing as before when experienced without friends and family. In conclusion, it becomes very clear, that growing old and living a calm life should be seen more negatively than a short but intense life, for the various reasons explained above. | null |
In some offices, employees work in enclosed workstations or cubicles. Other offices have a more open design, in which there are no walls separating employees from their coworkers. Which type of arrangement do you think is most effective? Explain, giving reasons to support your answer. | There have been a lot of proven studies that an open space office is better than enclosed workstations or cubicles. Fruther more there have also been articles about the advantages and disadvantages regarding open space offices. First of all, I would like to write briefly about enclosed workstations or basically offices with a lot of walls to seperate the employees from each other. A cubicle is mostly a small and quite dark room. If the employee is standing, he might see over the walls. As soon as the employee is sitting at his desk he will not see over the top of the cubicle wall. You might feel a bit claustrophobic. In worst case, there will be no welcoming and bright sunlight around you. Besides dark walls and the feeling of beeing in a cage like an animal, people may also get easily distracted. No one would notice, if you are on your phone playing games or buying clothes online. This provides us the conclusion that an open space office is the better solution for the employees and the whole company. Beginning with the sunlight around everybody and no dark walls around you and your coworkers. People can be more productive, if they see how hard their coworkers are working. It is true that you will have more noises around you, because of the other people. But there are a lot of solutions to provide a quiet surrounding. People can listen to music or attach little walls around their desks. These walls help to minimalise the nosies arround you but do not cover the whole view of the person sitting at the desk. The final reason is the socialising with the coworkers. All employees will have a strong bond, if there are no dark walls surrounding them. | null |
In some offices, employees work in enclosed workstations or cubicles. Other offices have a more open design, in which there are no walls separating employees from their coworkers. Which type of arrangement do you think is most effective? Explain, giving reasons to support your answer. | In my opinion offices in seperate rooms are more comfortable than offices, where most employees are in one room. Indeed, it is easier to help each other, but if an amount of your colleagues have to call important partners of the company the whole time, it can be really disturbing. Therefore, employees are not able to focus and concentrate on their own work and that is very inconvenient. Due the fact that the most people are working slower and more carelessly while they are being disturbed, not only the company suffers from it, but also the staff themselves. For instance, my dad is a clerk in a company, where all employees work in one room and he describes the situation as very uncomfortable and annoying, because his colleagues are on the phone the whole day. It takes him twice as long to finish his projects now. To put the main in a nutshell, an office with a open design is not quite right for employees, who have to focus on their own work. | null |
In some offices, employees work in enclosed workstations or cubicles. Other offices have a more open design, in which there are no walls separating employees from their coworkers. Which type of arrangement do you think is most effective? Explain, giving reasons to support your answer. | There can be no doubt that open offices support creative thinking and ensure team-work. They even increase the working experience tremendously, so that the collaborants interact with each other, it might even be the case that critical thinking skills as well as acumen are enhanced, if the programmers have an open designed office. However, single person offices are proven to be more effective, as a result of the fact that there is little to no disturbance. The workers can put their entire focus on the project and in would neccessitate that they have to work, because there is nobody to conversate with. Nevertheless, people need changes and differences, so that a completely entopreneurial office design might be a egregious expectorate. Taking all these aspects into consideration the best opportunity would be to have two different kind of offices for every single person, so that they can change their surroundings depending on what they are working on at the moment. There are different kinds of assignments and tasks, and every single one needs individual circumstances. It is out of question that two office seats per person are too expansive, resulting that a shift system without permanent positions might be the best chance. | null |
In some offices, employees work in enclosed workstations or cubicles. Other offices have a more open design, in which there are no walls separating employees from their coworkers. Which type of arrangement do you think is most effective? Explain, giving reasons to support your answer. | Whether a single-user workstation or a business office that is not divided into individual compartments (bullpen) is better for the worker, depends on the functions the office has to accomplish. An open space office or also called, a cube farm, has the following advantages: it allows a better cooperation and communication between the workers. It optimises flexibility as well. In enclosed workstations or cubicles, it is common that people are distanced from one another. The colleagues arrive at the bureaus in the morning and stay there the whole day. This makes it difficult to reach another co-worker. An advantage of this concept is that every worker is able to tend his job in peace. Especially start-ups profit tremendously of open space offices. If you want to let an enterprise grow and your team is getting larger, such a concept makes it easier to add desks, chairs and walls. An open space office enhances the value of the team in general. It demystifies social roles and helps each member to become more accessible one another, which leads to a more efficient workflow and to an elimination of hierarchies. Open space offices have a disadvantage of producing much noise. If there will be much telephoning, workers might be disturbed. A remedy for this flaw could be to install focus zones. | null |
Some high schools have a requirement that students must complete a certain amount of volunteer work in order to graduate. What do you think about this type of requirement? Give details to support your opinion. | Volunteer work is an absolut wunderful way to help others and grow within your experiences. People get the opportunity to help injured and sick children who are in hispotals or spend some time with animals in animal shelter. There are thousands of places where volunteer workers are hardly needed. I personally support the requirement from the high schools. The students shoudl be forced to learn that there are so many people who need our help. I am not just talking about hospitalized or homeless people. I am also focusing on the staff working there every day. They will be fore sure more than happy to get a helping hand. A most important point is to let the students chose their prefered working place. The motivation to complet the amount of volunteer work will be there as long as the student likes and enjoys the work he is doing. Further, the students will be impressed how much joy it will bring into their lifes when they could lighten up the day of another person. No amount of money could pay this amazing and heartwarming feeling off. Have you ever looked into the big, shiny and happy eyes of an thankfull kid? Yes, it is amazing! Besides the joyful opportunity of helping others, the students will also learn how hard work looks like. It is the perfect preparation for the life after high school. However, the volunteer work will teach every student a lifelong lesson. They may even find inspiration for their future work places. I am very sure that some students will love the feeling of helping others and they could spend some month abroad and work perhaps in South America or Africa. | null |
Some high schools have a requirement that students must complete a certain amount of volunteer work in order to graduate. What do you think about this type of requirement? Give details to support your opinion. | Currently, few high schools presume students to proof a voluntary work in order to graduate. But is this just a waste of time or does it promoting the personality development of its students? At first, undeniabely most students experience schools as too theoratic rather than practical. It seems to them that they learn something with low impact for their future. Or do you have to acquire broadening skills - think about arts or sports - for applying to a maths degree? Therefore, volunteers could gain real life experience, which would tops the dry school material off. Additionally, students had to choose from a range of voluntary work that suits their interests best and learning essentially life lessons such as communicating with others or to be empathatic. Lastly and not less relevant is that students with a voluntary background set themselves out from other peers. This enables them to gain benefits in an apllication process for the university or a job. To sum up I personally think that more schools should assume students to conduct work on a voluntary basis. In my view this work would certainly broaden the horizen of the students academically and personally. | null |
Your town council is thinking about banning the use of mobile phones on public transport and in shops and restaurants. Write a letter to the town council giving your opinion about this and why you think it is or is not a good idea. | To whom it may concern! Forbidding the use of mobile phones is a topic worth discussing. Espacially on public places. The idea of a complete ban might be the solution for all of our daily problems. People in trains would not watch on their phone anymore. There would be more conversation going on. Perhaps, everybody would be more friendly as well. Nevertheless, in my eyes this idea is an allusion. First things first. Do not the people have the rights to do whatever they want to. As long as they are following the laws. Additionally, it is a rapid step. Nearly everybody is using his mobile in public transport. In shops and restaurants it might be a good idea. However, if people want to comunicate; they do it. The banning of mobile phones would not change that. As far as I can tell, most people does not use their mobile while eating. The old school conversation strategies are not dead. By banning mobile phones people might feel threatend to lose all their rights. And, aren´t their rights the most important object nowadays? This rule would ruin the image of the council and policy. It would start an endless shitstorm until the law is gone. Furthermore, many people would not follow this rule. They just do not care about it. The personal freedom is more important then following a random rule which was not overthinged enough. It is not my call to if phones get banned or not but it definitely would not be a smart move.

Your town council is thinking about banning the use of mobile phones on public transport and in shops and restaurants. Write a letter to the town council giving your opinion about this and why you think it is or is not a good idea. | Dear mayor, I’m writing you regarding the issue with the use of portable devices such a mobile phone on public spaces. Recent researches indicate that the number of users in the last years is rapidly increasing. Especially the newer generations want to have all the mod cons to hold a “step with the time”. On the one hand, during the usage from mobile phones in the public places people are showing an unrespect for the community. On the other hand, for many people the mobile phones are a necessarily due to work or a private matter. That’s means they must use their mobile phones for example in a restaurant. There is no doubt in my mind that there is a need of taking measures regarding this matter. The burden of responsibility lies in the hand of any of us. As regards the most appropriate response to this situation, one suggestion would be to start a campaign to show the nation the disadvantages of overusing their mobile phones on public places. In my opinion it would be wrong to take the law into your own hands and completely prohibit using cell phones. It would be great put all factors in perspective before concluding. The world surely be a better place to live if we all have respect for each other. After all, we are only humans but have all the time in our hands to make a better tomorrow for our children. | null |
Your town council is thinking about banning the use of mobile phones on public transport and in shops and restaurants. Write a letter to the town council giving your opinion about this and why you think it is or is not a good idea. | Dear Town Council, I would like to support your suggestion about banning the use of smartphones on public transportation and in restaurants and shops. Primarily because I think that we spend way too much time on social media or on our phone in general and if we would concentrate on having conversations again, for instance in a restaurant, our social life would benefit extremely. But besides holding us from communication, our smartphone use can also be a huge safety threat in public. On the on hand for our privacy, because with them anyone is able to take pictures or videos of strangers and put them on the internet or share them with his or her friends, even without that persons approval. On the other hand is it dangerous for your physical health in various ways. First of all it is neither good for your eyes nor for your brain, but such a prohibitation could not help with those concerns. Although what it may help with are reducing the many accidents caused because someone is distracted by his or her phone. For example those incidents where someone is not paying attention while walking over the street or stepping into a train and falls, would be prevented. Personally I do not really see the necessarity for such a ban in shops, because it helps with neither of the other concerns, but that is just my point of view. In general I am supportive of that idea and hope it will be introduced apperantly. Sencerily, Nele | null |
Your town council is thinking about banning the use of mobile phones on public transport and in shops and restaurants. Write a letter to the town council giving your opinion about this and why you think it is or is not a good idea. | Dear Sir, Dear Madam, as I read your suggestion to ban the use of mobile phones on public transport and in shops and resaurants, I was excited so I want you to know that you will have my full support. I have been living in this town for 17 years noticing how it has changed. Especially young children are only sitting in front of their smartphone while they are driving in the bus. Even more, they are rarely talking to their friends anymore. I do not like this development. Of course, sometimes I also use my smartphone during my way home but only if there is no one I know. If there are any acquiantances, I wil definitly talk to them. Even worse it is at restaurants. Already my parents told me that it is unacceptable and unpolite sitting in a restaurant with mobile phone. Usually you are not alone consequently there is anyone you can talk with. Despite, daily I see a growing number of families who are sitting in a restaurant using a smartphone. As a conclusion, I would srtrictly recommend a ban of smartphones at public places. The next generations are used to have a smartphone as an replacment for a conversation with acquiantances. That is really unhealthy as well as unsocial so we should affect this development with this new law. Yours faithfully Helen Dachauer | null |
Your town council is thinking about banning the use of mobile phones on public transport and in shops and restaurants. Write a letter to the town council giving your opinion about this and why you think it is or is not a good idea. | Dear Sir or Madam, due to the latest idea of banning the use of mobile phones on public transport, in shops and restaurants, I am writing to you. Nowadays mobile phones are included in our daily life as well as food or clothing. The problem is that many people are being distracted by them during situations that need special attention. The amount of casualities a year caused by distraction due to a mobile phone is in fact increasingly high. Therefore I would genuinly recommend them being banned. It is not just dangerous, but our social life basically suffers a lot of the immense use. You can see families sitting at a table in a restaurant not talking to each other, while each and everyone of them is glarring at a screen in front of them. To some extend you need to have your phone with you and it is also very useful in some situations, but we all should not forget our ancestors survived without them too. Of course you can negotiat many listen to music, read or play games on ther mobile phone, but to me this occurs as distracting as everything else. Anyways i should mention that my phone is used by myself very often too, but i tremendously suggest trying to enforce this ban because our social life will benefit a lot of it. | null |
Your town council is thinking about banning the use of mobile phones on public transport and in shops and restaurants. Write a letter to the town council giving your opinion about this and why you think it is or is not a good idea. | Dear council, your latest idea of banning mobile phones in public areas has caused many discussions. Many people , including me, are worried to miss important messages or calls. Especially if your bus is running late and you have no chance to inform your waiting friends, because it is not allwed to take out the phone in public transport. Many of our citizens have a very busy workday and need their lunchbreak to make a phone call. This would not be possible, if they were in a restaurant or the bus. I do also love to sit in a local cafe and have a phone call with my family members which I can not see every day. However, I do realy like the idea of putting my phone away when I meet friends for dinner. Me and everyone else should be encouraged to talk face to face with others while having a meal in our local restaurants. My solution would be to still allow mobile phones in public transport and shops. People want to be up to date and chat with other while they take their tram home. What we could try is to ban the mobile phones in restaurants and bars. It would be amazing to see how groups of peolpe start to talk more and make new friends. There is always to chance to go outside to quickly call a friend, if it is really urgent. | null |
Your town council is thinking about banning the use of mobile phones on public transport and in shops and restaurants. Write a letter to the town council giving your opinion about this and why you think it is or is not a good idea. | Dear Sir or Madam of our town council, I am writing to you this letter regarding to your idea of banning the use of mobile phones on public transports. I am a citizen of the city and would like to tell you my opinion according to this issue. First of all, I would like to tell you that I may understand why you want to ban the mobile phones. A lot of accidents, which have been happened, happened because people used their mobile phones in the traffic and for surre: that is danger. According to the number of accidents, I would counsel you to ban it. But nevertheless we cannot overview the other aspects. As you know, mobile phones has become pretty important in the last decade. There is a great digitalization and at the moment you could do almost everything in internet. Do not forget that there are people who are buying their tickets in an online-shop. These tickets are not printed but on there mobile phones. At least in that parts mobile phones are not only useful but necessary. Moreover a lot of people hear music during the wait-time for their transport or in the transports. As I said in the beginning, it may be dangerous but I think instead of banning mobile phones, it might be better to invest in warnings because through banning you limit the freedom of the people. It is the same in restaurants and shops. It is a limitation which are not necessary and will annoy the people. So I would like to ask that you just leave it. Kind regards, Anna | null |
Your town council is thinking about banning the use of mobile phones on public transport and in shops and restaurants. Write a letter to the town council giving your opinion about this and why you think it is or is not a good idea. | Dear Sir and Madam, I read in the newspaper from 1 August that new law about banning mobile phone in the public places is now discussing. Therefore I would like to tell you about dependence between people´s lifestyle and mobile phones. Nowadays you can not do anything without your gadget. People are not only having contact with each other through it, but they have their whole lifes in it. Banning mobile phones in all public places will mean that tourists will have no oportunitie for taking pictures of seesights. It will also be more complex for them to find a right way in unknown city without maps on their devices. In the shops and restaurants you will have another problem in addition: nowadays you can even pay with your phone and without having a credit card. By banning mobile phones this inovation can not be used although it is very convenient. Going to the shop people also always write a list with purchasings on their phones. I can understand that people sometimes pay more attention to their gadgets than to the real life. But I think that they have to be teached to make in another way and not by a bann. In my oppinion prohobiting mobile phones in all publich places will only displeas people, because they are accustomed to convenient mobile phones which are now a big part of our life. With best regards, Someone | null |
Your town council is thinking about banning the use of mobile phones on public transport and in shops and restaurants. Write a letter to the town council giving your opinion about this and why you think it is or is not a good idea. | Dear Sir or Madam, My name is Jules Cool and I am writing this letter concerning the discussion about baning phones from public transport, shops and restaurants and wanted to let you know what my opinions are on this matter. I want to start with the aspect I am most concerned about, namingly baning phones from public transport. The devices are indeed necessary for the commuters, since they are being used to buy tickets and to inform themselves about delays. As I strongly believe that our transport system is one of the best in our country, I am worried people will stop using it when there are no phones allowed anymore. Furthermore, I disagree with the council wanting to ban cell phones from shops, because they are not only used to compare prices online, but also to pay for the goods. Therefore, phones are helpful devices when people want to go shopping and must not be prohibited in shops. On the other side, I strongly support the idea of not allowing phones in restaurants, as it is a place where food and connecting with other people should be the focal point. Sadly, it is becoming more and more common to take pictures of the food and post it on social media, instead of enjoying the meal with a friend or family member. Additionally, most costumers have stopped to communicate with the person sitting in front of them and instead are texting their friends constantly. In brief, I hope you take my elaborations into consideration when deciding upon this matter. Yours faithfully, Jules Cool | null |
Your town council is thinking about banning the use of mobile phones on public transport and in shops and restaurants. Write a letter to the town council giving your opinion about this and why you think it is or is not a good idea. | Dear sir or madam, even though I appreciate new and innovative ideas for policies in our town, I would like to raise some concernes regarding the new proposal to ban mobile phones on public transport, in shops and restaurants. On the one hand i think most citizens can agree that it is untactful to have loud phone calls in the before mentioned spaces, but on the other hand it is not advisable to ban something just because it is rude. It is not a crime to take up place for two on a bus with your legs spread wide , and neither should it be a crime to loudly argue on your phone there. If the culprit is a significant nuisance the busdriver could tell them to get off the bus even with the policies that are in place right now. ` For shops and restaurants such a proposition is ridiculous. These places are privatly owned and thus the owners and staff should decide on their own what is allowed there and what isn't. I think anyone would be hard pressed to find any good reason why a reglementation of mobile phone usage would be required here. Lastly I have to mention that this proposal is defined so vaguely that even using one's phone quietly, for example listening to music with earbuds or checking one's e-mails would qualify as an offence. I do not think the public would be in favour of this. I very much hope you take these points into consideration. Yours faithfully, Herbert Herbertson | null |
Your town council is thinking about banning the use of mobile phones on public transport and in shops and restaurants. Write a letter to the town council giving your opinion about this and why you think it is or is not a good idea. | This letter has been written by a concerned parent. The news spread that the town council is planning to abolish the use of mobile phones in public transport, in shops and in restaurants. Although I was raised in a time before internet and the invention of smart phones I plea for accepting the wind of change. We cannot turn the clock back. Technology is changing like the rest of society does. We can't neither deny the existence of the digital era nor ban the use of mobile phones. These gadgets have become such an integral part of our daily lives that it is unthinkable to set up rules against them. They deliver a lot of amenities, such as garanteeing freedom, flexibility and independence. When I have an accident on the motorway I usually phone my garage in order to get immediate help. I accomplish many tasks via my mobile phone too, such as booking holidays, and giving in my work shift for the next month. There are disadvantages of mobile phones. I believe we have lost a lot of skills we had had in former times. As we continually use our digial helpers for everything we have become addicts to these gadgets. Skills, such as map reading has been lost too due to the overuse of GPS, or navigational apps. Nevertheless, these are minor flaws compared to the positive aspects of mobile phones. Because of all the above mentioned reasons I rather advocate to stick to the remaining status quo to keep the use of mobile phones legal. | null |
Your town council is thinking about banning the use of mobile phones on public transport and in shops and restaurants. Write a letter to the town council giving your opinion about this and why you think it is or is not a good idea. | Dear members of the town council, with this letter I want to remind you of our constitution. According to article two of our constitution a human being has the right to act as they please. Therefore your intend to ban mobile phones from public transportation, shops and restaurants is illegal, as long as you are not able to provide any good reason in doing so. Restrictions to our right to act as we like are only feasible, if you have a profound reason for that. Despite that, you have not provided such reason or gave any explanation on why you plan on banning mobile phones in the already mentioned locations. As far as I can tell, there is no danger involved in the activities you consider banning. Also, I can't see any other good reason to enforce your idea. I can only guess that your intention is to patronize your citizen. To me it seems like an idea that aims to hinder people from using mobile phones in situations, where a well-behaved person wouldn't use these devices. But, while this cause is understandable, it still is a illegal constrain of our constitutional rights. Social norms should, by no means, be legally forced on people. In long term, such over regulation will lead to unsatisfied citizens and riots. Therefore, I believe, you should abstain from your idea to regulate the use of mobile phones in public transportation, restaurants or shops. | null |
Your town council is thinking about banning the use of mobile phones on public transport and in shops and restaurants. Write a letter to the town council giving your opinion about this and why you think it is or is not a good idea. | Dear town council, I am writing in reference to your idea to forbid the use of mobile phones in the public. I disagree with your opinion and will state out my arguments with the help of examples. Firstly, mobile phones are used by the most people for keeping in touch with eachother, for working activities outside the office and to inform yourself about the daily news. You will probably reply to this in the following way: Everybody is distracted, because there is so much activity in their mobile phones, and the social communication decreases in the public. Thus, new technologies, like mobile phones, computers or headphones, to name just a few, are part of our today's culture and too relevant to ban them. Furthermore, you forget another important aspect: social network's use increases and that especially among younger people. Whose advantage is that people across the world - even in the most distance between eachother - can interact with eachother. It is known by the most that this is a relevant factor to globalisation, which enables us to act together the first time in human history. But the winning argument is that the use of mobile phones spare much time. If you needed to search for a information for ages, you would get a result in a much shorter time span now. Time that could be used to go outside or to do engage voluntarily. Therefore I strongly recommend to decline your idea to ban mobile phones in the public, Yours Sincerely Jan | null |
You have been asked to write a short **article** for your school magazine with the title: _My reasons for learning English_ Describe your reasons for learning English **and** explain why it is important to you. **Write your article.** | My reasons for learning English: Being able to speak a foreign language can be very advantageous. There are plenty of reasons for learning a new language and find one's passion. In this essay I will focus on the English language and explain my reasons for learning it. First of all, when being able to speak English there are almost no boundaries of communication. Since English is an international language or lingua franca the majority of the world's popolation has English knowledge. Thus, one can have conversations with people all over the world. Moreover, the English language, especially the British accent is very charming in my taste. I adore listening to it and therefore would love to speak so. Furthemore, I love to listen to modern music. The fact that nearly every song is in English incites me to learn English the more. Accordingly I am able to understand all lyrics. | null |
Many people believe that it is important to always tell the truth. In your opinion, is it ever acceptable to tell a lie? Explain your answer giving reasons and specific examples. | Nobody wants to be one who is telled a lie, but hardly anybody avoids telling them. Even if this is true it is in my opinion acceptable to lie in the situations I will consider know. It is totally appropriate to lie if the truth would hurt someone so badly, that it could not be forgotten again. Imagine the grandfather of your child is already dead and your beloved son is asking you wether he would have liked to play with him or not. If you tell him then, that his grandfather would never do that, because he was against your pregnancy from the beginning on, he would be hurt tremendously. Of course you know the best who can take the truth and who is not strong enough to do so. The second case where a lie is better than the truth is when the truth would cause unnecessary trouble, tension or fear at the wrong moment. People are used to reacting very outrageous in certain situations. If your wife has an skiing accident, you would better not tell your children while they are still taking their skiing lessons. The only result would be lots of tears and that would mean more stress for you. Of course you should tell them in the end, but at the right moment. Telling the truth is not always easy but still hardly never the wrong choice. Yet if one of the situations above is the case, telling the ugly truth is not the only choice you have. | null |
Many people believe that it is important to always tell the truth. In your opinion, is it ever acceptable to tell a lie? Explain your answer giving reasons and specific examples. | In general I believe that telling the truth will always be the right decicion, but there are exceptions. In the following essay I would like to propose my thoughts on the topic 'why it is important to always tell the truth'. Every relationship, which one is unrelevant, is based on trust and lies, even if they are not harmful ones by themselves, are destroying this fundamental part, because dealing with trust issues in a relationship is not healthy for anyone and will ultimately cause the end of a friendship or a realationship between girlfriend and boyfriend. Besides being a destructive mannner in relationships with others, being untruthfull is a huge burden for your own mental health as well. It costs a lot to prevent a lie from being cought, for instance a lot of new lies, which have to be believable and that causes a constant pressure on the liar self. Telling the truth might not be the most comfortable way to go in the first place, but it shure is over time compared to keeping a lie alive. Most of us know the relieve caused by a lie being cought and the truth coming out, which can be achieved a lot earlier if someone just tells the truth to begin with. But as I implied at the beginning, there are certain situations where it is acceptable to lie. Those are if you have to prevent something bad to happen from a third person, like keeping a secret for someone even if another person asks if you know about something. | null |
Many people believe that it is important to always tell the truth. In your opinion, is it ever acceptable to tell a lie? Explain your answer giving reasons and specific examples. | In 2017 a survey by the University of Oxford showed that 99% of the people questioned answered that they have lied before and that they felt ashamed about it. This reserch not only shows that lying is common, but also that doing so is connected to feeling guilty about it. In the following I will state my opinion on why not telling the truth is acceptable. To begin, as the survey mentioned above has shown, everybody lies and it is normal amongst us human beings. Not telling the truth is common and should not be demonised. Furthermore, throughout the human history, lies have defined the development of our society and to give an example when the polish King Vladimir did not tell the truth about having started a fight with Queen Elizabeth, he caused the seperation of his country from England. In my opinion it is also vital to take the circumstances under which lies are told, into consideration. Since often the truth is not not told for protecting either oneself or others, these persons can't be blamed for trying to minimise harm. By telling the Nazis a lie about hiding Anne Frank and her family, Miep Goes saved all of their lives. This exaple shows that it is acceptable to withhold the truth for reasons of protection. Lastly, having lied to help another person, should be considered the best reason to legitimate lying. Altough helping is a very important and honored trait in todays society, lying to do so is often considered negative. In my opinion these two things are intertwined and can not be seperated. Giving a friend an alibi for not having done their homework and therefore not telling the truth, is a great example to show that lying is okay. In conclusion, these arguments above support my opinion, which is that not elling th truth is acceptable. | null |
Write about a holiday that you went on that was really important to you. Say where you went and what you saw, and explain why it was the best holiday you ever had. | In 2017 we spent a fortnight in Edinburgh, Scotland. It was an important experience for me, because I had just begun being interested in the english language and culture. We did a lot of standard tourist programms, including two bus trips through the Highlands. Even though I normally despise mountains, I could not help being fascinated by the magnificent Scottish mountains and their light green tinge. Furthermore we visited the famous Edinburgh Castle, which lies exactly in the center of the city. We even hiked in the bosom of Edinburgh, as there is a vast stretch of land incorporating large rocks only a few bus stops further on. And believe it or not: There was access to the North sea as well! Sea, mountains, and a capital city, all in one! Moreover that holiday gave me a first hand experience about how multifaceted the English language with all its different accents is. Even being a complete layman in that language back then, I could notice that the Scottish people spoke differently from what I had so far heard. All in all, that stay was one of my best holidays I ever had, maybe even the best of all. | null |
Is learning to speak a foreign language as important these days as it was in the past? Write an **essay** giving your opinion. | It is said that 80 percent of a language is vocabulary and only 20 percent is grammar, so this is often overlooked, although it is equally important. Supported by teachers in face-to-face lessons will help to clarify any issues and even push students above their limits because they can impart some personalised advice. Studying a language largely based on online lessons requires a high level of self-discipline and self-motivation. In terms of flexibility, it may be an advantage as different time zones or suffering from illnesses do not matter. Owing to the fact that the easiest way of internalising a language is being surrounded by it, it is highly recommended to stay abroad to boost the progress of learning. This can also be a once-in-a-lifetime experience that students always like to reminisce about. To sum it up, difficulties may arise no matter which method you choose, but drive and determination coupled with patience and perseverance will lead to success. Keeping this in mind, do not expect yourself to run before you can walk. | null |
Your English teacher told you about Write and Improve and said you should use it to practise and improve your English writing. Your teacher has asked you to write **a report** about your experience with Write and Improve, describing what you liked or didn't like about it and why. Finish by saying whether you would recommend your classmates to try it. Write your **report**. | Write and Improve is an app by the Cambrige University made for students in order to improve their writing. Having used it for almost a month I am going to summerise my experiences with this app in the following. Firstly, I would like to write about the biggest advantage Write and Improve has, namely the check function. This means you can write a text and after completing the task, the programmm checks it for you. This has helped me, not only improve my grammar and vocabulary, but also my style of writing. Next, the app is helpful because there are many different levels of language. Therefore, Write and Improve enables their users to improve and move on to the tasks that best fit their needs. Lastly, I have to mention an aspect of this website I have not found helpful, which is the costs. Although the fist tasks are for free, most of the workbooks have to be bought. This is a border for learners who do not have the money to pay for the app. In conclusion I can highly recommend this app, since it has helped me and many other users improve the English skills. | null |
You see a request for articles in a magazine: We invite you to write about: _The School of the Future_. In what ways do you think schools will be different in the future? In what ways might they still be the same? The writer of the best article will win a prize! Write your article. | The school of the future To start with, it has to be mentioned that school nearly stayed the same for decades. However, a real change is definetly needed. How this may look like? Nobody knows yet, but some ideas already exist. First, grades in general will be abandoned because they do not lead to a higher student motivation any more. What is more is that they only create much more pressure that keeps students from being intrested in school. Therefore, I think the emphasis should be put on how to get kids to learn voluntarily. If there is a good relationship between teachers and students the results will be better as well. On the other hand some structures will possibly last. Organising classes in seperate rooms is still up to date. Furthermore I think that books will also stay for a few more years just because kids should remember how it is to use them. But maybe there are other changes we can not even think of nowadays. Let's just wait and find out. | null |
Because of the negative effects on health of an inactive lifestyle, all university students and school children should be forced to do sports activities at least 3 times per week. Do you agree? Write your **argumentative essay**. | It si widely belived that particularly students are doing to less sports activities. HOwever, thats simply not the case. It has beeen supposed taht children should do exercises three times per week or even more. There are those who argue that students are lazy and to fight these bad habits, sports are the perfect solution. I totally agree to this statement. Nevertheless, I m a keen and probably already a professional climber, and in my best times I trained four times per week. There can be no doubt that not every child can adapt these habits. When I started to train climbers, I spent lots of time thinking. How is it feasible that some of them, just refuse to listen, to the advices and instructions of other coaches. If they would be in my group, they would be kicke out, faster than you can twink, particullarly those who litterly never do what you tell them. Not everybody is made for sports. I am a big supporter of any kind of sports. However, students should not be forced to do exercises. Sports are a livestyle and a passion and nothing what people do to fight their laziness. Notwithstanding that, I do not support this proposal. I would like to give another solution. Like I mentioned. Sports are a passion and its might even be somebodies destiny. As far as I can tell, everyone who does not do any sports, just did not found the right one. I propose to set up a programm, where students have the opportunity to try out different kinds of sports. Taking all these aspects into consideration, I do not agree to the assertion. Sports are awesome! Furthermore, they having a incredible effect on you learning, they are everything, but bad. Nonetheless, to forct students to do sports is the wrong way, it would have detrimental effects on students and their opinion of sports. Let them find the sport they love and they will do it all day long. | null |
Because of the negative effects on health of an inactive lifestyle, all university students and school children should be forced to do sports activities at least 3 times per week. Do you agree? Write your **argumentative essay**. | Having a healthy lifetsyle is nowadays important for everyone and though everyone knows how to accomplish that goal it is not happening that often. The problem is that school children or university students often do not do enough sports during the week. But still it would not be a solution to force them to do sport activities at least three times a week. Everyone should be able to decide on its own if he wants to do sport and how often. Of course school children often spend most of their time inside with their mobile phone or else, but not everyone of them. If you force those who are inactive to be active and do some sport it might happen that they hate it afterwards. They hear about the necissety of health often enough to have a opinion about it and make their own decision wether to move or not. Doing sports activities three times a week while maybe having two different exams in one week means a lot of stress. It occurs often that young people want to be actice but simply do not have enough time for it because school and university can be so physically demanding. Of course going for run can be really relaxing because you can organize your thoughts. But when you have to think of analysis it can be really stressful as well. Especially if you are forced to do so. it basically gives the whole situation a negativ aspect and you are not having as much fun as you could possibly have. Still sport is very important for everyone of us and therefore there would be other opportunities instead. For motivating young people in school or in university to become active you could introduce different kind of sports to them. One possible way would be to simply organize a trip to a climbing hall and show them how wonderful this sport could be. | null |
Because of the negative effects on health of an inactive lifestyle, all university students and school children should be forced to do sports activities at least 3 times per week. Do you agree? Write your **argumentative essay**. | I would like to present some arguments against forcing students to do sports activities three times per week. First of all I agree with critics, who are in favor of such a rule, to the point that it has negative effects on the health of students, if they are not active enough, but forcing them to do something is a bit too much in my eyes. It may cause another new problem, that students might lose the joy in doing sports, because they have no other choice. Of course, there has to be a solucion, preventing the students from suffering of health problems, but I believe there are better ways to do such things. Assuming that there would be sports activities included in the schoolday, it will lead to more classes, causing the students to stay in school longer and in the end to study later at the evening and lack of sleep does also have negative effects on health. My proposal would be to sensitize the students to the topic, instead of making decisions over their heads. Because if they would understand the urgance of it, they might adapt certain habits to their everyday life. That would be in so far more beneficial than forcing them to do something, that they could decide, which kind of sports activity they prefer and when they have the time to do them. That would also teach them to be more independant and to take responsibility for their own life and health, because after school nobody will take interest in how active they are. Of course there had to be a seminar on how to achieve a more active lifestyle, but that would only take up one or two afternoons. Besides that every school and university may consider to establish an office to help the students with that quest and keeps track on how they are doing. In conclusion, something has to be done, but using force is never the right choice. | null |
Because of the negative effects on health of an inactive lifestyle, all university students and school children should be forced to do sports activities at least 3 times per week. Do you agree? Write your **argumentative essay**. | Every school class has at least two students who love to practice sports activities. On the other side. there are also some students, who are very lazy and hate sports. Many schools offer a gym or classes but not all of them are compulsory. The hard part of every school or university is now to find the ultimate balance between forcing their students to be active and not to over do it. Befor I write more about the amaount of spots activites, I would like to catch up on the main importance of sports. Many cinical studies have proven that any kind of physical movement can boost your immunity system, improfe your cardoivascular system and prevents depressions. Those three examples are just a brief insight into the benefits of sports. Of course, no school or universty has the ability to offer thousands of different spots options. They may give you a choice of elected classes. For example a running group, footballteam, chearleading classes or even a small gym with free weights. However, it does not matter what kind of sports you prefer, it just matters that you focus on your well beeing and health. Now, we can talk more about the amount of exercises per week. First of all, there is no golden rule for this. It really depends on waht kind of sports you practice and what goals each person has. To come back to the main question of forcing studenst to do at least 3 sports activities per week. It would be mirakle to follow this system but it's not realistic. Students should have at least one to two classes in their weekly school calender where they need to do some kind of sports activites. They should get the possibility to choose their preferences but they should not be forced to to three sports activites per week. Sports should still be a hobby and not a must! | null |
Because of the negative effects on health of an inactive lifestyle, all university students and school children should be forced to do sports activities at least 3 times per week. Do you agree? Write your **argumentative essay**. | Regarding the recent discussion about the suggestion to force children to do sporting activities at least three times per week, I decided to list my arguments for each side. This could help me to conclude which side of the argumentation I agree with. Of course both sides have their pros and cons. Based on several studies which prove that activities can improve the health constitution of children, many teachers and scientists propose more physical education for children. Further research has also shown the obesity rate of children to increase. This problem might be dealt with by forcing children to do more sport. In return this could help them to lose weight, but also to gain an interest in sports. Without being forced to do sport these children might have never discovered their interest and as a result more young people will enter a sports team to pursuit the desire of sport. But of course there are also other arguments which refute this idea. The main contradiction for many people is the idea to force children. Compulsion can never be a useful way to convince children, who need to be taught the valuable good of liberty. Even our constitution enshrines the moral value of freedom. Therefore children cannot be forced to do more sport only due to the fact this will improve their health. As humans are not allowed to constrain each other, everyone needs to discover the importance of sport for himself. Furthermore experts are afraid of the mental consequences for children, who were forced to do sports although they avoided it previously. The reason for this behaviour can vary between shame or obesity. Therefore more sport can increase mobbing of unathletic kids. In conclusion I would recommend the executives to avoid forcing children to to anything as this will only cause more harm. Of course sport is really important as it can improve the fitness, but this needs to be something the children decide for because they appreciate it. | null |
Because of the negative effects on health of an inactive lifestyle, all university students and school children should be forced to do sports activities at least 3 times per week. Do you agree? Write your **argumentative essay**. | As we are living in a liberal democracy, based on values like free choice and individualism, I strongly oppose the idea of coercing students to do sports. Although a healthy and active lifestyle is crucial for a both long and fulfilled life, I do think that nobody should by obliged to do sports. Rather than deciding about the way other people should live their lives, we should try to dig deeper and mitigate the underlying causes of bad health. In my opinion the probably best way to achieve this is by vastly increasing the spending on nutritional education. Already the youngest members of our society must know the negative side effects of certain foods and be able to differentiate between healthy and potentially damaging ingredients. Furthermore we have to highly step out our efforts in reaching poorer families in less affluent neighbourhoods with programs like free sports courses for children under the age of five. In this way children get used to doing sports, because they would not know a life without sports. Imaging for a second that we as a society achieved both aims. Erudite, sporty young people know exactly what to eat and behave accordingly, therefore programs like forced sports classes would not be necessary anymore. Obviously we could do a lot more than that, starting from free, healthy lunch at school and ending probably with incentivising the location of medical practicionars in rural areas, for the benefit of our descendants. However all of these measures need the backing of a broad political majority, which is not accomplished easily and needs further engagement from all of us in debates at every level of politics. In summary I can only repeat my pledge to decisively oppose any form of forced sports classes and to subsitute them with early education programs for everyone. | null |
Because of the negative effects on health of an inactive lifestyle, all university students and school children should be forced to do sports activities at least 3 times per week. Do you agree? Write your **argumentative essay**. | According to a study by the Oxford University, every third child world wide between six and twenty is overweight. Caused by the inactive lifestyle many young people have today, this shoking number is the indicator for the plan to force unversity students and school children to do a sporting activity at least 3 times per week. As the options for children and teenager to do recreational activites without having to move are innumerous, the motivation to be active is accordingly low. Therefore it is necessary to take action, by enforcing physical activity into the weekly schedule of students. Firstly, it is important to argue, that this plan is preventing our modern society from a dangerous and unhealthy development, since the obesity of young children can have grave effects on their health. To only mention a few, diabetes, cardio vascular problems and cancer, are illnesses caused by the consequences of overweight. But this does not only take a toll on the person concerned, but also on the health system. Having to increasingly pay for the medical aid of children and teenagers, the health system is not equipped to endure any more stress. The only way to help, is therefore to force children to do sports. Equally important is the following aspect, concernig the impact sport has on the mental health of students, since sporting activities not only, allow children and teenagers to move, which releases the hormon dopamin, but also enables them to spend time with their peers. Research shows that activities in groups can aditionally have positive effects on the students grades and helps them learn important social skills, such as team work and fair play. As a result the children and teenagers, become happier and better members of society. In conlusion, it is important to enforce sports into the students weekly schedule, as it not only improves their mental and physical health, but also because it has a great impact on the functionality of society. | null |
Because of the negative effects on health of an inactive lifestyle, all university students and school children should be forced to do sports activities at least 3 times per week. Do you agree? Write your **argumentative essay**. | We are living in a society in which the number one cause of death are cardio vascular related diseases which are in terms mainly influenced by factors like activity and nutrition. This poses rightfully so the question whether the national government should consider a mandatory sport membership in a sports club? Starting of with the legitimacy. Of course such a policy is considered to be a huge intervention in both parental autonomy and the freedom of the concerning child. However one can argue that in health related issues such interventions can be justified as it is allready the case in other health care issues and preemptive medical examinations. Another often overlooked challenge is that new policies can result in social injustice and discrimination. Applying this to our case one notices a need for at least partial public funding of the activities or sports clubs in order to legitimate it. Also a social stigmatisation of untalented may arise. Looking at efficiency we have to ask us how well would such a policy induce the desired result without costing to much. Looking at costs might be quite simple if the policy shows any effect, expressed in lowering hospitalization rates at all, the net savement of health insurance costs already finance the regulation. However one has also pay attention to any beaurocratic challenges entailed by the supervision of such a regulation. Another argument against this case is that most cardiovascular related diseases only arise at a certain age and school children are virtually unaffected. The only thinkable benefit would be the building of healthy habits at a young age and the establishment of more prominent role of sports in our society in general. As you can see a similar regulation entails many potential consequences. And one important question remains unanswered, is the intervention in our children's freedom worth the possibly small benefits? | null |
Because of the negative effects on health of an inactive lifestyle, all university students and school children should be forced to do sports activities at least 3 times per week. Do you agree? Write your **argumentative essay**. | More and more young people lead an unhealthy lifestyle because of the lack of time or money. Is forcing them to become active at least 3 times per week and by that intruding their individual lifestyle a justifiable way to solve this problem? Firstly, both students and pupils have to invest a lot of time into studying for school or university. As a result, they are left with a minimum of freetime. Making them do sports during this remaining part of time is questionable, as it interfers into their personal life. Also, it confines their liberty to choose how they want to spend their spare time, and definitely requires a second thought. Additionally, whenever something is forced on people, it naturally becomes another burden to carry. Consequently, this means that doing sports would equal the educational tasks which have to be delivered by young people until a certain deadline. Originally, sports should provide a balance to work and enable the brain to recover and rebuild itself. As a matter of fact, not everyone is physically or mentally able to participate in the same types of sports as the majority of the people. Suddenly, including everybody´s individual needs turns into a very complex issue. Solutions tailored on special requirements have to be found. For instance, people who are physically limited because they lack a leg need to be equipped with an artificial leg allowing them to swim or run. This instrument has to be paid. However, it would be highly unfair to make these persons be financially responsible for the instruments. Summing up, I would definitely dislike this idea, as it limits students´ liberties and rights and excludes people with special needs. However, it would be advisable to enlargen the range of sports offered to students and pupils. More alternatives to the classical types of sports from which to choose will encourage them to participate on a more liberal basis. | null |
Because of the negative effects on health of an inactive lifestyle, all university students and school children should be forced to do sports activities at least 3 times per week. Do you agree? Write your **argumentative essay**. | In the last decades, the health of students has started to decline. An inactive lifestyle, accelerated by the negative impacts of video games and streaming platforms, has resulted in higher obesity rates. One burning question has emerged: Should we force school children and even university students to participate in sport activities at least three times per week? This essay intends to make it abundantly clear that strict regulation is not a solution at all. There can be no doubt that the physical state of myriads of children has worsen due to the rise of globalization and digitisation. With thousands and thousands of children addicted to video games and social media, the allure of going outside is comparatively small. This has certainly changed over time. The leisure time our parents and grandparents spent in their childhood seems to be worlds apart from ours. Few people would dispute the fact that exploring the wild is not an integral part of growing up. There are those who argue that kids should not be put in a risky situation. Helicopter parents are instantly watching every single step of their beloved offspring. However, in that way they are indirectly hindering their child's development. Kids need to spent time outside. It is widely believed that children need to make decisions on their own to make independent decisions which thus enhances personality development. The proposal of forcing children to do sport activities is quite similar to the approach of the autocratic regime in China. In order to counteract the 'feminisation' of society which refers to the up-bringing of a generation full of spoiled only childs, the government has implemented a sport scheme. However, we - as members of a democratic society - should set a good example. In conclusion, children should not be forced to do sports involuntarily. These initiatives would not improve the situation overall. We have to counteract these recent developments by supporting children to use their smartphones all the time and instead take a walk outside. All our problemes would diminish within a second. | null |
Because of the negative effects on health of an inactive lifestyle, all university students and school children should be forced to do sports activities at least 3 times per week. Do you agree? Write your **argumentative essay**. | Living an unhealthy lifestyle leads to unhealthy people and being inactive is a main reason for health issues. Nevertheless, should we really force university students and school children to do sport activities three times a week? Nowadays, students are already stressed out at school and university and often while writing exams there is not much free time left to include sports in the daily life. It would be really stressfull for some students to start forcing them to do sports because it does not fit in their life. When forced to do something the activity becomes less fun and ca sometimes not be enjoyed which leads to demotivation. Furthermore, what would the consequences be if someone does not do sport activities three times a week? I think it would be unfair to punish someone because they were studying instead of working out. On the other hand, sport is great to help with physical issues and mental health problems and considering the current state some of the students and children are in physically and mentally sport activities would be a great way to help them out and to decrease obestity and depression. On the whole, sport activities are exellent to create a work life balance which is often missed by a lot of students, especially when they studie a lot. In addition, to stay healthy in the future you need some sort of activity during the week if you do not want to become ill when you are old. In recent years the amout of obese children has increased which is also caused by a lack of movement because today most children play video games which is why motivating them to do more activities would be a good idea. Last but not least, if one found the right sport activity it is often a lot of fun and afterwards you are more likely to be happy because your body sends out endorphines. In conclusion, I think forcing students and children to do sport activities three times a week is not the right way, but to change something is necessary. Sport needs to be more integrated in school and university which would also make it more comfortable for students to integrate sport in their everyday life. For example, there could be more sport lessons in school, more free activities and maybe a whole new subject concerning a healthy lifestyle. In college taking part in a sports course could be obligatory and there could also be more options. Often, at least as problematic as the lack of movement are the eating habits some folks have which is why working on that would also be a great improvment of young peoples health and providing a subject in school about it would be the best way to do it. Still, the sport activities should be fun and not forced but it is important to consider making it obligatory and including it more in school and university. | null |
Because of the negative effects on health of an inactive lifestyle, all university students and school children should be forced to do sports activities at least 3 times per week. Do you agree? Write your **argumentative essay**. | In recent years, the active lifestyle of young people sharply decreased. It is proven that moving your body and doing sports activities often lead to a healthy long life. The main question is if students and school children should be forced to do sports for at least three times a week. In order to keep everyone healthy, sport activities are needed. The body needs different movements to stay fit and active. Many studies showed that movement and flexibility are decreasing with age. That is why older people should do fitness every other day. On the other hand newer studies found out that young people are losing their fitness and flexibility. This often correlates with playing video games or studying all day. With this information sport activities should be included in school and universities so that young people learn how to move in order to build and strenghen the right muscles so they do not get a bad posture for example. However, if something is forced upon you, you do not paticipate with enthusiasm or give up completely. A good idea would be to offer many different kinds of activities. Many school children like to play football. Other young people like to dance or run. Universities and schools should give their students three hours a week to do sports but should not force them to do anything specific. On some days one feels like going swimming or jogging and on other days they only want to stretch and do some Yoga. It is important for schools and universities to listen to their pupils. When I was young I was forced to do specific sports and I did not like them. Now that I am at university and am not forced to do anything I really enjoy doing and trying out new things. I think this would work for many other young people, too, if they get to chance to try out different sports. | null |
Because of the negative effects on health of an inactive lifestyle, all university students and school children should be forced to do sports activities at least 3 times per week. Do you agree? Write your **argumentative essay**. | Rising levels of obesity have been labeled one of, if not the most, severe public health crises of today. Other illnesses caused by an inactive lifestyle are on the rise as well, although they do not reach the same levels of publicity. To combat these emergent problems we should put renewed effort into the physical education of our children, instigating mandatory physical exercise as a promising approach in this regard. However, forcing such measures on adults is a different story entirely. It is without question that children need to be taught about the benefits of an active lifestyle. The health problems we as a society are facing are a direct result of neglecting this kind of education and failing to prepare becoming adults for the challenges of increasingly sedentary jobs. Likewise, it is apparent that such a programme must not be based on pure theory. School children need to experience the benefits of physical exercise first hand which means they have to do sports activities on a regular basis. To achieve this, schools should expand PE classes and complement them with other measures such as mandatory participation in a sports club, compelling students to do sports at least 3 times a week. On the contrary, all adults - including university students - should be regarded as self-determined members of our society and have the right to refuse any physical exercise if they so desire. To encourage an active lifestyle among these groups incentives can be employed. As an example, insurance companies may adapt policy rates to benefit those regularly exercising and universities could reward participation in college sports. In essence, our primary resource to tackle public health crises will always remain the education of our children. We should make it a goal to have them leave school fit for the challenges modern work environments. We may extend incentives for physical activity to aduld life but should refrain from compulsory measures. | null |
Should computers and tablets completely replace books in schools and universities? Write an **essay** giving your opinion. | Books and Technology In the world of today, more and more areas are taken over by thechnology. Now many schools and universities are thinking of replacing books by computers and tablets. Of course using a tablet instaed of a book has its advantages: Firstly, many students complain about that they have to carry so many heavy books. If they used their laptop, with everything saved on there, they wouldn't have to carry loads of books with them. Secondly, the internet can sometimes give more information to people, who are doing research, for expample. There is a greater variety of websites availiable. However, books are not comletely replaceable. First, on the internet there are not only thrustworthy pages. Sometimes wrong information is published. Books mostly tell the truth. Also, many people enjoy the feeling of reding a 'real' book. They like to 'touch' the pages. This gives them a positive feeling. To conclude, I believe that books cannot be totally replaced. They are still an important part in nearly everyone's lives. A tablet will never give you that typical book feeling, after all. | null |

Include details about what you like about the tool and about any difficulties you had with it, and finish by giving your recommendation for other readers. Write your **review**. | My most recent discovery as an english learning tool is called 'write an improve'. Basically it is an online website where you have a wide selection of topics on which you can write paragraphs with aproximately twohoundred to threehoundred words. When you enter the website for the first time you either create a profile to save your learning progress or just write a paragraph without signing up, but in that case it would not be saved for later acceses. Then you choose from four different skill levels, either beginner, intermediate, advanced and business or, if you are not training for anything specific, the just for fun option. As a result the website recommets the most suitable tasks for you and there are many to choose from. If you have decided what your text will be about, you just start writing and even if you struggle with your time management there is a tool for you, a timer. After finishing your task you click on the check button below and the programm gives you feedback shortly afterwards. It rates your skill level in that specific paragraph, checks for spelling mistakes or the wrong usage of words and even points out which sentences may need some improvement. Another huge benefit is that you can improve your written text as often as you like and by doing that learn from your old mistakes. The only downsite of this website is, that you just see whats wrong and not how to improve it, but all in all it is a great learning website. | null |

Write your **review**. | I am an 18 years old student and studying english for almost 6 years now. For a long time, I was looking for a tool which may help me to improve my english writing skills because they are awful. But most of the programs or tools are expensive and as a student I can not pay them. A time ago, I found 'Write and Improve'. It is tool which is organised by Cambridge University and absolutly great. First of all, it is almost free. You can use most of the tools without paying anything. Depending on your english skills, you can choose between different difficulties. They are called workbooks in whom you find, depending on your indiviual level, tasks for practising. After doing a task, you get immediately feedback form the program. It includes your english level and mistakes you made. However, you can find a test zone for some exams Cambridge University offers. If you want, you also can create own workbooks. Im my opinion this tool is really good if you want to improve your English or prepare yourself for an exam. It will not replace a real teacher because it is only a program but for the beginning it might be helpful. If you decide to sign in in the mailing list, you will also receive a lot of helpful tipps. I can recommend Write and Improve but also have to say there might be better ones if you are ready to pay some money for a good program like grammarly. | null |

Anyway 'Write and Improve' is really good opportunity to put your thoughts into words and to get feedback instantly. To learn a language it is important to write and to structure your thoughts.

Include details about what you like about the tool and about any difficulties you had with it, and finish by giving your recommendation for other readers. Write your **review**. | I have recently discovered 'Write and Improve' and would like to give a feedback. In this review I would like to evaluate whether 'Write and Improve' is a useful resource for English learners or not. The main features of this learning tool are written texts. Learners' skills are divided in three levels: beginners, intermediate and advanced. This corresponds to the European Frame of Language Skills, A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, and C2. These are useful categories to chose from in order to make faster progress. Main focus is laid on distinguishing between the various written forms a student is confronted with in an exam, such as an essay, a letter, a review, and a proposal. Another focus is put on considering the formality and the author of a written piece must know how to choose the adequate vocabolary if he or she writes an informal or a formal letter. What I like on this tool is the feedback if I remembered the question or the task respectively. The score given varies from 1 to 5. Other feedbacks contains an analysis of the mistakes. No colour means the sentence is perfectly written. A bright yellow mark shows that something is stilistically not alright. Marked with dark yellow means a sentence is completely wrong. I would definitely reccommend this tool to English learners. It allows one to enhance the ability to render English texts more quickly and without the temptation to use dictionaries. | null |

You work at a company that makes educational products for children. Write an email to your boss (John Smith).

Write 150-180 words. | Dear Mr Smith, I'm writing you in regard to the animal cards that we are selling. I recently gave some thoughts on it and would like to present them to you now. First of all, I think we should print animal cards which depict endangered and extinct animals. Therefore, I'd like to suggest Animals of the South-American Continent. Perhaps we could sort the animal cards in order of the different levels of concern, too. This wouldn't only bring forward biodiversity education but also increase our sales figures: Which child wouldn't like to have the most vulnerable animal on one of its cards to show it to its friends? Moreover, we could design the cards like a happy family game so that the children can play with them instead of just reading the information given. If you are wondering about the copyright costs, I can assure you that this won't be a problem! We already have some for many of the animals. And if you need and editor, I'm your man! It would be my first time but I've got lots of experience concerning the American fauna and would definitely like to do the job. Yours sincerely, Maike Mohr. | null |

The next step to reach actualization, the highest level of Maslow's pyramid of needs, is safety and security. This is another step I have reached, simply through the matter of fact that I live in a secure country, with a comparatively good system of justice. The third level of the pyramid is the one about love. With a family me in bad times and close friends only one thing is lacking: my soulmate. I hope to find him within the next 6 years. The fourth level of Maslow's pyramid includes self-esteem and being estimated by others. I could do with a little more self-confidence but all in all I consider to have mastered this level.Regarding the highest level of the pyramid, called actualization, which is about a deeper understanding of ourselves and the others, I can tell that the older I get the more I apprehend. To sum up, I consider myself to be on the right track to reach actualization, but maybe I'll never reach it." | null |

I hope you are as content with our decisions as we are, ourselves. Yours sincerely, M.Mohr | null |

For example, I learned that stress may not only effect the mind but also the body. Chronic stress can lead to headaches, an upset stomach, high blood pressure and a lot more.

In addition, you can create a more comforting atmosphere at your home. Therefore, just put some clutter out of your rooms, paint the walls in relaxing colours and buy some green plants to fill the house with. I hope, this will help you. Yours, Maike | null |

These years that we are spending at our school will remain in our minds forever and one day we will tell our grandchildren about it. In order to make this story a good one I would suggest some changes: Let us change the current quite boring look of the classrooms into a special atmosphere. As we have 10 nationalities at our school, I would suggest to decorate our 20 classrooms according to the different cultures, colours and decoration should inspire the students to experience other cultures, let us organise projects concerning the different countries and thus improve the understanding amongst different nationalities. If you vote for me, be sure that my main concern will be to support the integration of all students who come from abroad and to fill the school year with many extraordinary projects (class-room design competition, international cooking workshop, etc.) Let us make this time a special one! Thank You! | null |

You have been using two online retail websites. Write a comparative review of the two websites. Structure your review around the aspects of an online retail website you think mostimportant. Write 150-180 words. | The site's usability: Nileretail offers a much better one than The-shopping-space. Nileretail's customers can quickly search specific genres and also find rare books and media easily, whereas they have to scoll through all the screens when they search for a certain item at The-shopping-space. Nileretail's product range and also quality is excellent as there is a wide range of of new and old books. The-shopping-space,on the contrary, has a little of everything but the choice of colors and styles is quite limited. As for the understanding of customer needs, Nileretail also wins the race clearly. They offer a 'search inside the book' feature which allows customers to have the same benefits they'd have in a book store. Let me give an example for The-shopping-space's poor understanding of customer needs: their homepage features items inappropriate for the current season. They offer summer clothes in winter and winter hats in summer. To sum up, I can say that I'm very satisfied with Nileretail, and I will buy my things there in future. | null |

"You work as a local reporter. The new big-box store Super-Mart is planning to open in your town. Many citizens are concerned about this and have gathered for a meeting. Write a letter to the mayor to express your point of view about Super-Mart. Write 150-180 words. Start your letter like this: Dear Mayor Bleak, I am writing to you to... " | Dear Mayor Bleak, I am writing to you to express my concerns about the planned Super-Mart. I am really afraid that this will force many mom-and-pop shops to close down and that we will lose our sense of community. A survey among our local community was conducted last week, and it showed that 87% of our people are against it. Super-Mart's strategy is to price their goods under wholesale. Nearly every small business in our town will be affected! And what will happen to our jobs and to our future generations? For every job that Super-Mart provides, our town loses 1,5 Jobs. Young people will have to leave our town to look for work elsewhere. Super-Mart just pays substandard wages and only offers part-time jobs. No social or health benefits are provided for these part-time workers. Management jobs are filled by other Super-Mart employees, who are working up through the Super-Mart system. I would be very happy to discuss this matter further. Yours sincerely, Martina Herzfeld | null |
As a result of your research and interest in the topic, you’ve been commissioned to write an article for a lifestylesmagazine about how people’s lives will be different in 20 years from now. This article should be based on your opinions. You could consider work situations, home life, transport and the environment. Write 150-180 words. | How Will People's Lives Be Different in 20 Years from Now? Let's get started with technology: According to experts, satellite phone and retinal scanning are most likely to become commonly used technologies in our future. The same applies to telecommuting technologies, which I think are very important. Companies can change to flexible offices and thus save an enormous amount of money in the long run. As employees will be more flexible and save commuting times, it will be easier for them to raise their children. This leads me to another very important topic in future, the work-life balance: As burnout diseases become more and more frequently, we will have to pay attention on our well-being: Do things in moderation, do sports, cut back on fast food, recharge our batteries every now and then, take more time for socializing and first of all for our families. Last but not least, we will have to alter the way we live when it comes to environmental protection. Analyzes of trends show that people will become highly green-minded already in the near future. | null |

Write 150-180 words. | Dear Paula, you really have to change your habits and start economizing when it comes to spend money for food.

And also for lunch you should stop going to these shops near your office, they have neither healthy food nor very cheap food. You should get up a bit earlier in the morning to prepare your lunch.

You have been asked to speak to your local council about renewable energy. Write a presentation on which kind of renewable energy would be beneficial to your city. Write 150-180 words. | I believe we should use solar power for our city. As we don't have a river, strong winds or tides, solar energy would be the perfect renewable energy for us. I know it costs a lot of money to install the solar panels and also the maintenance and installation costs are quite expensive. But nontheless, it is a good alternative to using fossil fuels which are becoming rare and also very expensive. A lot of surface or desert land is needed to install the solar panels, but there are so many possibilities to install the panels. They can be installed on roof tops of private houses or community houses. In times where climate change is a subject and summers are getting hotter, the energy from the sun is perfect to be converted into thermal or electrical energy. There is sunshine almost all year round and even things like traffic lights can be provided with solar energy. Sun energy is always available and we are no longer dependant on other countries for gas and oil. | null |

And last but not least, try to reduce dining outside. I know that meeting friends is a very important thing but you dont have to do that always downtown. Try to invite them to a dinner at your place.
