Earlier technological developments brought more benefits and changed the lives of ordinary people more than recent technological developments. To what extent do you agree or disagree? Thanks to the technological advances, we are now living in a world with a wide range of facilities turning our lives into an easier and more exciting one compared to what our ancestors had. While many argue that the new developments in technology have less impacts on the life of ordinary members of society, the opponents maintain that these advancements are more far-reaching. As far as I am concerned, I agree with the latter idea because of affordable price and easier usage. The Inventions of the automobile, electricity or telephone were all technological breakthroughs in the history which made our life more comfortable, but the question is what percentage of the populace had access to these novel facilities. Considering the total number of products, cost of production and maintenance I can say that only a few number of the people could afford such luxurious products. In my country, Iran, for example, a the television was a super luxurious commodity not long time ago, let alone a telephone line or a personal vehicle. As recently as 10 years ago By the invent advent of the Internet, we gradually stepped in a new era where geographical distances were not an obstacle for a wide range of people from different social strata. Affordable prices besides a user friendly manual paved the way for an acceptable number of users of such useful inventions. Smart phones and social media made helped even illiterate individuals learn the basics of new gadgets in a way that even many a grandparent today is connected to their loved ones via social media. Satellite receivers are so popular that people do not consider it a novel development anymore. As indicated above, gone are the days when only elite could enjoy the technological advances. Undoubtedly, unlike what used to be in the past, people from all walks of life, nowadays can benefit from the latest achievements in science and technology. As against/ as opposed to

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? People today spend too much time on personal enjoyment—doing things they like to do rather than doing things they should do. One of today̕ s controversial issues is whether people allocate most of their time to personal enjoyment or their duties. The growth of technology in the 21th century has a noticeable impact on the an individual̕ s lifestyle and many deem that the availability of innumerable and far-reaching high-tech instruments leads to increasing increase in the availability of the entertainment. However, others do not accede to this way of thinking and suppose that these appliances tools are means of helping people to have their best performance. I personally admire the latter viewpoint and in the following, I will explore my reasons. To start out with, careers, companies and businesses are becoming more and more specialized in comparison to 20 years back. The technology is overstepping the boundaries of humans̕ knowledge and surging with a fast pace and you should parallel upgrade your information if you want to be prosperous. Therefore, the governments and societies encourage people to work harder. On the other hand, the competition in the industrial world necessitates the highqualified employees. In a small dimension within the borders of a country as a domestic company or even in the international arena, several companies have a tournament to reach the best position and become the first brand in the world. This achievement is impossible if people and stuffs staffs of that companies allot most of their times to avocation. As an example, when we compare two of the most important companies in the field of the cell phone, Samsung and iPhone, it can be inferred that they utilize the up-to-date knowledge in order to present the qualified products and take over its theyir rivals. Thriving becomes more intricate and requires more efforts. Secondly, although these days the application of a variety of forms of technologies such as cell phones, TV and laptops is more prevalent than before, they are not just a means of enjoyment. I deeply believe that most of the time people exploit their phones in order to gain selfimprovement rather than as a sheer hobby and no instrument could promote the careers, education and knowledge as cell phones. You can follow news, read books, enrollment enroll in the new online courses and even manage your business via the internet and social media such as Instagram or YouTube. Teleworking is one of the phenomenon phenomena of the current century and when you work online, you work actually more than 8 eight hours a day and hardly have any time left to relax. In sum, I firmly believe that people do not spend the majority of their time on personal enjoyment. The invention of new equipment gives them an opportunity to perform their responsibilities much better than before.

SOME PEOPLE SAY THAT THE BEST WAY TO IMPROVE PUBLIC HEALTH IS BY INCREASING THE NUMBER OF SPORT FACILITIES. OTHERS, HOWEVER, SAY THAT THIS WOULD HAVE LITTLE EFFECT ON PUBLIC HEALTH AND OTHER MEASURES ARE REQUIRED. DISCUSS BOTH VIEWS AND GIVE YOUR OWN OPINION. Having a fine public health plays a crucial role in prolonging lives of people of the country and its quality. When it comes to improving it, opinions vary. Some believe that more public sports centers and equipment are the key to this subject, but others are of the view that more initiatives should be arranged to reach a healthier nation and I subscribe to the latter view. Invaluable benefits of providing people with better sport facilities cannot be denied. While due to hard economic realities, paying for gymnasiums’ fee is no longer an option for many, ubiquitous sports fields can act as a proper substitute. On the other hand, having a close proximity to a park or sports center can easily draw them potential athletes into doing more outdoor activities. Adopting a sedentary lifestyle nowadays, people are profoundly in need of any kind of exercise to prevent diseases such as obesity and consequently cardiovascular disease or Diabetes. Although being surrounded by easy- to- reach and low-cost public sport facilities can improve our health, I assume that a wider range of interventions must be delivered by governments or private sectors. Being informed and educated, people will be empowered about health issues. How can we expect a healthy community if the members of it are not aware of their body or mind situation or maintaining their wellbeing? Governments can cheaply/at a low cost encourage a rich diet and broadcast the consequences of adopting an unhealthy one. The means to do so can be just a preventive advertisement such as billboards which discourage consumption of sugar- sweetened beverages or illustrations which show the impacts of long screen time or the benefits of drinking an adequate amount of water. In addition to that, delivering funds on some public health inspecting plans, governments can ensure better public health. Constant check-ups can detect diseases at their early stages therefore so that they can be responded to appropriately to avoid their development and make people suffer lessease people’s pain. In conclusion,. While establishing sport areas increases the possibility of people’s engagement in physical activities and subsequently their health would be improved, adopting other strategies such as raising public awareness or funding routine check-ups alongside each other could lead to greater levels of health.

Extreme sports such as sky diving and skiing are very dangerous and should be banned. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this view? While participant numbers in traditional outside mainstream sports such as baseball and golf have declined in recent years, the equivalent number in extreme sports has skyrocketed. In spite of the arguments against this growing trend, I believe these so-called vicious sports are of significant value. First, many who manage to embrace action sports describe them as a life-changing enhanging as well as life-changing experience. Individuals who ventured to get involved in such sports are still modern humans who had been stuck in a rot rut and are now exploring limits of their human skills and endurance. No, they are only not some irresponsible risk-takers who do not value their lives, and no they are not some ‘morons’ with a death wish; they are not from different species or other planets, only some of us who endeavor to lead a different life, escaping its harsh, boring reality. Given the ongoing sedentary lifestyle prevailing among all the world’s generationspopulations, these may give a reason to value life and maintain interest in proceeding it. Second, according to many studies, people who regularly perform feats such as parachuting off a mountain face or gliding on the enormous waves of the sea will change the chemical composition of their brain. They put themselves so many times into danger, some may be life-threatening, that they get accustomed to a great deal of tension, thereby increasing their capability of staying calm and centered during stressful situations, which is the result of a surge in adrenaline. Finally, who is to decide which sports are extreme? It is all the a matter of relativity. With a closer look, it is clear all sports include some element of risk. Even in a sport like football with international fame, players might become seriously injured, or in extreme cases lose their lives. Although some may label these alternative sports as “uncivilized”, providing that hurting other species is off-limit such as dogbaiting and, they are far away from this unfair accusation. Moreover, the youth will eventually find a way to release their build-up energy and participate in an adrenaline-pumping activity, whether it is legal or not, and banning these will just give young people justification to taste/test/experiment with other illegal activity. In conclusion, although I some might disagree with active sports such as skydiving, as long as they do not entail barbarous games such as hurting animals or other humans, I am of the opinion that these sports can benefits their champions on different grounds.

Some people get into debt by buying things they do not need and cannot afford. What are the reasons for this behavior? What actions can be taken to prevent people from having this problem? In this day and age, experiencing a lavish lifestyle, many people have been brought to their knees in order to pay off their debts. While there are many contributing factors motivating individuals to spend money beyond their means, I opine that many steps could be taken to tackle this problem. Huge/massive retailers and tycoons are the backbone of capitalist societies and they adopt diverse policies in order to promote false needs. To that aim/to that end, they bombard people with an avalanche of eye-catching advertisements ranging from billboards to pop-up icons. For example, the profit-making fashion industry uses celebrities to introduce rapidly changing trends, thereby putting a financial burden on individuals’ shoulder to be stylish. Moreover, social media play an active role by providing an environment whereby the well-off individuals can brag about their extravagant lifestyle and ornate houses which evokes a sense of competition amongst masses. This trend could make them, especially youngsters, more materialistic, thus propelling them to toil from dawn to dusk to fulfill their dream of living like a royal family member. In addition, the emergence of credit cards which enable customers to postpone paying for merchandise fans the flames and motivates people to go on a shopping spree. Although this trend has become prevalence prevalent amongst people all across the globe, many measures could be taken to alleviate the situation. Firstly, it is incumbent upon officials to raise individuals’ awareness towards the repercussions of their excessive purchases on their life. Many a person leads a hectic lifestyle in order to pay for his credit card bills and expenses, however unnecessary. Finally, the government should put a halt to providing customers with loans beyond their means and introduce laws and introduce restrictions for credit card companies and banks in order to discourage people from overspending. In conclusion, by buying unnecessary merchandise not only will individuals send their the fruits of their labor/efforts directly to the hands of the owners of huge retailers and their shareholders, but also they will deprive themselves of enjoying their free time far from the stresses of working overtime, hence the importance of enhancing people’s education and restricting barring the business hubs fromto propelling them to become more materialistic.

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Patience is usually not a good strategy. We should take action now rather than later. Life is full of dilemmas where individuals have to make decisions whether they should be patient or an instant act is required. While some believe that we should show reactions immediately, I disagree, because by taking some time, the risk for making wrong decisions is reduced, emotions can be managed and by doing so people can set a great example. First of all, chances for making problematic decisions are higher as individuals hurry into a decisionmaking process. For example, in a competitive market, a rush for making higher profit through selling more products without considering the market’s need may backfire. If a company is boosting its profit by selling its new product, other companies should not start to make the same goods and put it on the market immediately. They should carefully examine whether there is a gap in the market that needs to be filled with the same product or not. Besides, by not rushing into anything, policy makers in the company seize the opportunity to analyze all the aspects of their decisions. As a result, the more individuals take their time in chaotic situations, the safer decisions will be made. Moreover, emotions are an inseparable part of every humans’ action, whether it they relates to their personal lives or it involves a group of people. Imagine a couple, whose marital conflict has led them on the verge of getting a divorce. If they are getting into an argument, one great technique which can be really helpful is to work on their anger management. By honing such skills, the next time when they sense that there may be a discussion, they probably do not act impulsively. Instead, by controlling their anger through taking a deep breath or leaving the chaotic situation, no one’s feeling is hurt that much. As a consequence, not only can individuals regulate their emotions in various situations by being patient at the first place, but also they may boost their communicative skills through the time. Finally, what can make individuals a great role model for others and especially for children, is through learning teaching them how being patient could bring about useful benefits. One of the best examples is about driving. Almost all the people have experienced getting mad at others’ driving. Imagine while a parent is driving with his and their child are driving on the road, suddenly another car gets in their way, making them to stop the car instantly. When parents try to keep calm and continue their way, the child will learn how bvenficial behaving peacefully can be beneficial for all. Therefore, by setting a great example in being patient, we will have a civilized society. To sum up, I think that being patient is better than acting instantly. I suggest that such skills should be considered in school curriculums, because in the long run by having the ability to be patient, better decisions are made, communicative skills will improve and there will be a healthy healthier society.

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? It is difficult for teachers to be both popular (liked by children) and effective in helping students in learning. It is obvious that schools are one of the best places where children can prepare for their future and no one can ever deny the significant role of teachers in children's life. I totally agree with this statement and some reasons persuade me to put forward this view which I will explain with a couple of examples. First and foremost, behaving strictly towardwith children is one of the remarkable ways, thereby being successful and it is a given fact that pupils like this treatment rarely. Not only can kind teachers not behave strictly but also children do not obedience obeyfrom them, so it cannot be beneficial for pupils' educating. For instance, by setting upping some rules for classes such as not coming late after the teacher or being silent while teaching not only is it practical for children's educating but also they be familiar with responsibility concepts. Another striking point is that students cannot cope with working hard or a lot of homework whereby pupils access achievement and this factor is conducive to being an unappealing teacher. For example, one of my friend's friends’ teachers quizzed students every week from the amount she had taught whereby pupils could get pleasant ideal results in their final exams. Last but not least, keeping the class more quite is another point which is efficient and a third reason why I believe that being both popular and effective is not attainable fundamentally owing to the fact that schools are the best place where children can get in touch with their friends for a long hour, so they keep talking during the class and it makes the class more chaotic, so teachers should be more aggressive to be able to keep the class quiet and this places is not children's favorite. For instance, a few months ago, I read a magazine which wrote about the positive impact of the classroom silence and students' learning. To cut a long story short, although popular teachers are always stick in pupils’ minds, according to the above reasons the effective ones are more appropriate for their future.
