A good listener is better than a good talker in a social situation. Do you agree or disagree?

  I read a book once which talked about how to become a good communicator, and the answer was by being a good listener. I totally agree that a good listener is better than a good talker in a social situation. In this essay I am going to present my point and explore the idea. Firstly, to manage a social situation, you need to understand the situation and the best way to understand the situation is to listen carefully. Then, try to look at a problem from a different perspective, which is a good way to solve it. Secondly, most of the time problems are created because of the words. It is often clever to be silent in a social situation, rather than to speak. Rather than a roar, an act of kindness is needed in social situations, which will elevate your personality. Furthermore, in some situations and especially in social situations, silence means power. It is recommended that in a business meeting, the main person or a chair person should speak at last, so that they can listen to all the...

More and more countries spend large amounts of money on the restoration of historic buildings instead of on modern housing. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this analysis? What are advantages and disadvantages of this? Support your writing with your experience or examples.

  Historic buildings are our heritage and show our culture. Nowadays, more and more countries are spending large amounts of money on the restoration of historic buildings instead of on modern housing. I totally agree with this analysis and in this essay we are going to explore the advantages and disadvantages of it. Firstly, historic buildings are a representation of our ancestors and represent our roots. There is no example of prosperity without firm roots, which we can see in multiple civilizations throughout history. Secondly, these are tourist attracting monuments, and can give an economic boom for the country. Restoration of historic buildings will help to keep this tourist flowing to the country, which can be beneficial for the whole country. On the other hand, if you just invest money in old buildings, you will miss out on modern development. If your resources are spent on the past, there might be very little future. Furthermore, if an area is covered with old buildings, the...

Some people think learning a foreign language at school should be compulsory. To what extent do you agree with it? Use your experience or examples to support your viewpoint.

  Language is a way to communicate with each other. I believe language is one thing that makes humans different than animals, and all the achievements of humankind can be due to language. In this essay, I am going to give some of the points on the side of making learning a foreign language compulsory at school. Children are the future of the nation. They started from the pond and here the pond refers to the family. Now, they are in a lake which is a school and if they learn to swim properly, they will reach the sea. What I mean to say is, learning a new language opens up new horizons. They will understand foreign people. In this globalized world, that is one of the superpowers. Secondly, it helps them to understand new things. Think about how many new books they can read. For example, for me, English is a foreign language. If I was just using my mother tongue, I would be limited to the number of books that I could read. Finally, children's minds are flexible and can grab things qui...

Some famous entertainers earn millions of dollars every year. Few people think they deserve such high salaries. What is your opinion?

  We have heard about famous entertainers earning millions of dollars every year. There has been a lot of debate about whether they deserve such high salaries. In this essay let us analyze this in a greater detail, where we look at this from both prospective. Firstly, there are only a few of them who get to experience these kinds of compensation. That means, they have to be the best at what they do and they have to be able to deliver on their promises, as we have seen people going down very fast. Secondly, these celebrities have a very short career span, which might last a few years. Their fame lasts a very short time during which they have to cash in, otherwise they will be in financial problem. In contradiction, looking from a layman's perspective, they earn far too much. As, we have seen some celebrities and their downfall due to drugs and other issues and can be blamed for money. They might have to choose between a long career or a short hype. In conclusion, if you have a deman...

Nowadays, there are many television advertisements aimed at children. Should television advertisement be controlled or not? What is your opinion?

  Advertisements are a display of products in different media to promote it and generate a desire in the public to buy them. Nowadays, there are many television advertisements aimed at children, which is very unethical. In this essay we are going to explore whether this is a good thing or not and in the end I will express my views. Firstly, advertisements focusing on children are a very big problem for parents because they are forced to buy those products. It is very hard for them to deny their children, which is completely understandable. In this way, parents will have very high financial burdens. So, parents need to be educated on how to handle their kids' demands and skillfully handle them. Secondly, excessive exposure to advertisements can lead to materialistic values. Children, bombarded with ads for the latest toys, gadgets, and fashion, may develop unrealistic expectations and a constant desire for material possessions. This can strain family finances and create a sense of d...

Children should begin learning a foreign language as soon as they start school. To what extent do you agree with this statement?

  Children should begin learning a foreign language as soon as they start school. I completely agree with it. In this essay, we are going to explore why I agree with the statement. Children start their lives within their family. Their world broadens when they reach school. It further broadens when they reach college. Similarly, a foreign language is a doorway to greater knowledge. It broadens their minds. It is also good for cultural acceptability. When you learn a new language, you are also learning about the culture and tradition of the place of origin of the language. A children's mind is flexible, it is easier for them to learn a new language rather than a person at a later age. A child can also learn faster, which also helps them later in life if they want to pursue this language. Learning a new language gives a perspective of the greater world. It creates understanding of the world. Usually, children enjoy learning. Learning a new language opens up a lot of opportunities for ...

Researchers say more and more business meetings are held online. Do you think it is advantageous or disadvantageous?

  Meetings are a place of discussion, debate and dividends for a business. According to researchers, more and more business meetings are held online. In this essay, we are going to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of this event. Talking about advantages, the most important point would be saving time. Most meetings are inefficient, ineffective and are an inadequate use of time, which is removed by online meetings. Efficient and to the point interaction will happen, although this might lead to trust issue later. Another advantage of online meetings is to be able to do other work while in the meeting, if you feel that this meeting is not so important to you. If we talk about disadvantages, business doesn't just run on tasks and efficiency. It is about trust between parties. Trust is generated with regular interaction. There is no replacement for a face-to-face interaction. It is the unofficial talks that we do with our colleagues that actually developed trust. In conclusion, o...
