It is true that children now do not engage in the same recreational activities as their parents or

grandparents' generations did, due largely to the advent of modern technologies. I believe that such
behavioral changes yield insignificant benefits, but cause problems galore including both mental and
physical health issues, poorer academic results and deteriorated social skills.

Admittedly, young individuals who spend their spare time on technological devices such as phones or
computers enjoy a wider range of entertainment possibilities than ever before. To provide a supporting
example, one need look no further than the huge number of video games available on a smartphone.
However, games like Flappy birds, Minecraft, or Candy crush, to name but a few can be so fascinating, or
to be more exact, addictive that young gamers keep coming back for more, irrespective of whether or not
they have leisure time. Such an addiction wreaks havoc on both their health and academic performance as
they tend to fail to allocate enough time to exercising and studying.

Another negative ramification derived from young people devoting a significant proportion of their
time-off to using technological gadgets is related to the deterioration of their social skills. This is because
communication skills, and the ability to understand and appeal to others' feelings are best developed
through social interactions, such as playing a soccer or basketball game, or attending a music club. The
failure to spend a sufficient amount of time honing those vital skills will certainly result in the young
generation growing up to be socially awkward, and failing to meet the many requirements of adulthood
such as working with others and most importantly, the ability to live with their loved ones in harmony. An
increase in the number of such individuals can certainly be seen as a negative development.

Having analyzed how technologies have transformed the ways in which children spend their free time in
some depth, I have arrived at the conclusion that the repercussions of such changes are very undesirable
and can negate any potential benefits.

Some people believe that reading stories from a book is better than watching TV
or playing computer games for children. To what extent do you agree or
disagree?

There is an opinion that children benefits more if they read book rather than playing video game or
watching TV program. Personally, disagree with this view for several reason.

There are good reason to say that reading books is more beneficial to children than playing computer
games or watching TV. The key reason​is that reading help children enrich their vocabulary. As a result,
they​may have better academic performance in the future. When they go​to school. Because a wider range
of vocabulary helps then read and​write better. In addition, reading books allows children to have better​
imagination. Since they have to think of images on their own when​they read, say, a story. This can boost
their creativity, which enable them to stand out in the future when they enter workplace.​
There are stronger reasons to argue that reading books is not​necessarily better than gaming or watching
TV. The most important ​reason is that when children play computer game, they need to constantly think
of strategy to win. This has a positive impact on their​decision making skill. Furthermore, there is many
educational programs on TV, so children can learn new thing. For example, by​watching ‘the Planet Earth’,
children learn about how animal live and​hunt and how we are polluting environment. ​

In conclusion, | disagree with the idea that reading books is better for children than play computer games
or watching TV. This is because each activity help children develop different skills and learn different
things. ​

Some people believe that school children should not be given homework by
their teachers, whereas others argue that homework plays an important role in
the education of children. Discuss both of these views and give your own
opinion.

Children’s school day is generally as long as a typical day job, which has led some to question the
wholesomeness of homework in educational settings. Although some think that the setting of homework
is an unnecessary aspect of education, my conviction is that the role of homework should be perpetuated.

Admittedly, there are justifiable reasons to say that homeworks are an unnecessary burden on children.
The most important is that homework seems to have a little impact on educational outcome. This can be
seen in Finland where school children are not given homework but this country regularly tops
international educational eague tables outperform nations, where setting homework is the norm. Added to
this is the fact that, a child's school day is as stressful as an adult’s working day, not many adults are willing
to work overtime at night, nor young people. Therefore, they should be allow to spend their evening time
relaxing by watching their favorite show, going out with their friend, simply rest.

However, there are more compelling reasons to argue that homework does play an important role in a
child learning process. The key reason is that homework encourages independent learning and help
children foster a strong work ethic, they are challenged to work through tasks alone and at their own pace.
This virtues can spur them on to succeed when they are adults. Furthermore, by give students homework,
teachers can make sure that a child’s after-school hours are at least spent on something worthwhile.
Otherwise, perhaps addiction to frivolous activities like gaming or TV is unavoidable affect both their
well-being and their performance at school.

In conclusion, homework is essential in children schooling and should be maintained, because it makes
good use of their time and instill in them independence and resilience.

Education for young people is important in many countries. However, some
people think that the government should spend more money on education for
the adult population who cannot read and write. To what extent do you agree or
disagree?

Governments around the world justifiably focus their resources on the education of younger generations.
However, the staggering high number of illiterate adults in even arguably the most developed nations such
as the US has heightened public interest in whether more money should be spent to help those people learn
to read and write. I strongly believe that this is a worthwhile endeavor as it benefits not only the recipients
but also the country as a whole.

Firstly, to adults who are not able to read and write are faced with tremendous difficulties in both personal
and professional life, literacy courses provide them with necessary knowlege and skills to overcome such
problems. For example, participants of these classes will no longer feel helpless when they need to read a
piece of story for their children before bed or write an email to their friends. Similarly, they will no longer
be deprived of promotion opportunities at work solely on the basis of their literacy skills, or the lack
thereof. The provision of adult education, thus, liberates individuals with low-literacy levels and empowers
them to succeed both personally and professionally.

Besides this, countries deciding to invest more in adult education also reap financial rewards. This is
because a better educated workforce can act as a precursor to fostering economic growth, as seen in
Vietnam, where a causal link between the crusade to eradicate illiteracy in the 1980s and economic
development was found. Furthermore, literate parents are repeatedly found to be better at rearing their
children, so investing in adult education will produce better-raised children. The corollary of this
investment would be a sustainable economy and a better society.

In conclusion, giving access to education for illiterate adults is a sensible and economically sound initiative
and therefore should be adopted more widely.

It is true that the behavior of school pupils in some parts of the world has been getting worse in recent
years. Several reasons can be adduced to explain this state of affairs, and this essay will suggest several
viable solutions to remedy the situation.

What seems to be at the core of the way young people behave at school nowadays is related to parents and
celebrities. With regard to the former, many modern parents tend to be too lenient and permissive. This
leads to many children becoming accustomed to getting whatever they want, and they find it difficult to
accept the demands of teachers or the limits imposed on them by school rules. Added to this is the fact that
many children are often influenced by and imitate the behavior of celebrities, many of whom portray the
idea that success can be achieved without finishing school.
To address the problem of students misbehaving at school, | believe that the change must start with
parents, who need to be persuaded that it is important to set firm rules for their children. When children
misbehave or break the rules, their parents should use reasonable ‘punishments to demonstrate that actions
have consequences. These disciplinary techniques could range from depriving them of the things that they
treasure, such as their favorite toys or TV shows, to stopping them from seeing their friends. Also, famous
people, such as musicians and football players, need to understand the responsibility that they have to act as
role models to children.

In conclusion, that schools are increasingly faced with discipline problems can be ascribed to parents’
leniency and famous people’s behavior, and the solutions lie in changing parents’ ways of disciplining their
children and making famous figures realize the amount of bearing they have on young people, who often
idolize and emulate them.
