High level of pollution produced by airplanes since they consume greater quantities of fuel. It is suggested that airplanes should be used for only important tasks. I disagree with this statement, as international tourism generates economic activities, and helps students to get quality education abroad.
Plethora of countries in the world rely substantially on the tourism industry, which has huge impact on their economy. The innumerable travelers visit foreign counties every year for recreational purposes, which ultimately help countries to earn foreign exchanges. Furthermore, economic activity triggered at local level, since travelers spends money for hoteling, shopping and site visits. In this regards, local museum, arts galleries and historical buildings also able to generate enough funds, which are must for their existence. Australia is a famous tourist attraction around the world for its exquisite beaches and breathtaking mountains view. According to Australia’s finance department, $50 million earned in year 2018 from tourism industry, which constitute 20% of country’s GDP.
Secondly, international travel allows students of developing countries to pursue higher in developed world, and it offers more quality education with intensive exposure. What is more, they get to learn diverse culture and values, and observes development of this part of world. When they returns back to their native countries, they could contribute in a better way. Dr. Umer Saif, who did his bachelors and PHD from USA, returned back to country and run a successful project of digitalization in Pakistan which totally transformed the country’s IT system.
In a nutshell, restrictions on foreign travel is not a feasible solution to reduce pollution, as it offers innumerable benefits to the countries.

Nowadays, health and fitness level of children and adolescents is decreasing. It is suggested that that physical education and sports activities should be mandatory in all educational institutes. In my opinion, participation in sports activities control obesity and improve academic performance.

Firstly, playing any type of sports help to stay slim and smart. The kids who do not takes part in such activities get obesity, and they tend to have low level of physical endurance. Basically, every sports includes physical exertion, which regulate blood flow in a body, and assist every organ to function properly. This allows body to cut fats and stay lean. According to health department of US, the obesity level of students in the schools promoting extracurricular activities and physical education is far more less than the others.
Secondly, there exists a strong correlation between sports activities and academics. The sports can improve cognitive health. When body is sound, mind would grow rich. These activities enables participants to improvise in difficult situations. As a result, thinking capacity of a student enriches, and thus help him to bring creativity and solution-oriented approach to studies. The sports board, UK shared result of study that in Michigan, kids were able to secure high CGPA, who played games during studies.
The essay agrees with the statement that physical activities are must to have healthy body and mind, and efforts should be made to promote these activities.

According to some people, to spend a long and healthy life, rich diet and workout is not required. I tend to disagree with this statement as both are of vital importance.
Firstly, food affects our body to a great extent. Body of human needs all the basic nutrients to stay energize. These nutrients are proteins, vitamins, Carbohydrates, and calcium. If we get balance diet, we will stay healthy. What is more, we will have longevity. By eating junk food, and in-taking lots of calories from sugary drinks, our body internal system gets disturbed. As a results, lots of complications happens in our body. Obesity happens from poor diet selection which causes many diseases e.g. blood pressure, diabetes, heart problem etc. For instance, UK government did a survey and revealed that cities where consumption of junk food is low, there is high life expectancy recorded. Thus, food selection is an importance factor in our daily life.
Secondly, physical activities have major importance in maintaining healthy lifestyle. That is why, countries make consistence efforts to promote sports and competitions among citizens. The activities like Jogging, running, gym workout, and swimming, all are undeniably, very important part of life. All doctors advises to exercise atleast 30 minutes daily. For example, The US health department revealed that the health costs of hospitals in Michigan states is low as compared to other states, due to availability of many grounds and parks and focus of people towards exercise.
To conclude that I will say, healthy diet and exercise play an indispensable role to have long and healthy life and everyone should practice it.

In these days, it is common to see more or less children engaged in some kind of paid work. I believe, it may have positive as well as negative impact on the children. Positive in a sense, it will give an edge in securing good job in future. While negative, as it may develop greediness of money in children.
Whenever children grow up and move into the professional career, job experience plays an important role. Even if their job required online work, it definitely gives an edge. For example, according to a research by the university, children having some sort of previous work experience landed on a full-time job sooner, as compared to those who had no prior work experience. Therefore, children who are engaged in some kind of paid work not only develops good learning and responsibility among themselves, also increase their chances of getting a good full-time job.
Conversely, children who do some kind of paid job are more likely to develop attraction towards earning money rather completion of education. This is the reason, children may move on to full-time job without completing their formal education. For instance, according to a national survey the most common reason for not completing undergraduate education was to be able to start earning even before the completion of studies. Due to this, most of the parents allow their children to do voluntary work for limited time, so they do not develop an addiction of earning money without completing their education.
Hence, I believe, paid work can have a positive and negative impact on the children, as it helps in securing good job in future but may develop greediness of money in children.

The bar charts show the level of participation by developing and industrialized countries in education, skill and research for the year 1980 and 1990.
In terms of schooling, industrialized countries remained highest with the average of almost 8 years in 1980 and 10 years in 1990. Although both developing and industrialized countries experienced a growth in average years of schooling, it was greatest in terms of industrialized countries.
The trend for scientists and technicians shows a similar trend, as it increased for both developing and industrialized countries. For developing countries, the increase from 1980 to 1990 was minor, for it still remained fewer than 20 per 1000 people.
Despite the fact that education and skills rose in developing countries from 1980 to 1990, spending on research and development fell. The increase in spending on research and development rose form $150 billion in 1980 to $350 billion dollars in 1990, for industrialized countries.

It is believed that government are spending more money on promotion of arts which is not justifiable and do not worth much, and they should invest it somewhere else. I tend to disagree with the statement.

Importance of studying arts for both kids and elder people is undeniable. Arts are greatly connected with generating creativity and innovative skills. Furthermore critical thinking skills leads to the development of the world. It has served humankind greatly. The Taj Mahal, Wall of China, and great pyramids of Egypt are true depiction of fabulous artistic skills. These wonder of the world served as basis of great knowledge creation in the field of architecture. UK government did a survey and revealed results that students who studies arts in their school or colleges scored high on creativity.
Nowadays, people are pursuing more careers in arts. They learn how to make paintings and sculptures. What is more, music and drama industry is greatly entertaining us in our gloomy time. These artist and celebrities give us pleasure. Despite of the fact that they pay heavy taxes, they do great social work. The US labor department shared a study that only 10 percent of people associated with arts are unemployed.
Arts helps native to know their culture and history. In addition to that, foreigners find it as very helpful. Rome, Iran, Egypt, Italy and Turkey are countries with rich cultural history. Many foreigners visit these countries regularly. This results in generation of excellent economic activity. The World Bank did study and revealed the countries with history of arts orientation have high gross domestic product.

So in my opinion, government should spend more extravagantly in arts development as it is very beneficial for both people and government.

Advancement in the field of information technology has made professionals to work at home, and students taking classes online. This is very positive trend and it is very beneficial for society.

Nowadays, after novel coronavirus epidemic, there has been strict lockdown prevailing in most of the countries. The corporates and education institutions closed for indefinite period. Moreover, many lost their jobs. Here role of I.T emerged strongly. Despite of the fact that cost of providing latest gadgets to employees increased significantly, the organizations kept on working remotely. This resulted in an increased productivity of employees, as well as improvement in work-life balance to greater extent. Atlas Honda has achieved its highest ever sales in this October 2020 as it was working on this concept. Mercer Pakistan did a study and revealed that efficiency of workers who have been provided work from home increased upto 30 percent.

Secondly, the employers also got its fruit. The operational cost of their businesses reduced remarkably. The cost of transportation, meals, electricity and utilities went down substantially. Without availability of latest technology, it would not been possible. Some organizations served their customers satisfactorily, even though the companies were closing at that time due to losses. The google had reduced its operational cost to US$ 50 million in last quarter. The US department of labor published survey results that revealed that tech companies have not fired a single worker during this financial year.

On the other side, there are also some negative points associated with work from home. The distractions at home and isolation of employees affect them socially and psychologically. There is an increased responsibility on soulmates and mothers when husbands and kids are at home. The UK department of justice revealed report that divorce rate increased 2 times during recent lockdown.

In my opinion working at home and getting learning online by use of technology outweighs its drawbacks and it is very positive trend.

With the development in technology, the traditional skills and ways of life does die out, which is in terms of typewriters. However, for some goods it does not happen in all areas of the world; specifically talking about the developing countries.
If we talk about typewriters, which are nowadays replaced by the computers. Looking into the past, not everyone was skilled to use the typewriters, for it required a special skill of maintaining the formatting of the content through typing pace. Although, this need of preciseness has been resolved with the invention of computers, which automatically maintains the formatting and is comparatively very easy to use. But, the people who were qualified to use typewriters are now redundant and have become extinct due the technological shift to the computers, and nowadays no one requires a separate typist for the work. This shows that, moving away from traditional skills due to the technology is inevitable.
However, if we talk about electric cars, which has brough revolution in the automobile industry and have created a niche for specialized mechanics, has actually not made the traditional diesel engine car’s mechanic redundant. Although, some people from developed countries might prefer soundless electric cars, many people from developing countries prefer to drive diesel engine cars. This is because, latest electric cars are not available in their area or even it does not match their culture. For instance, people from traditional Punjabi culture prefers to have cars which have loud sound, just to show their influence in their society. So, despite the technological advancement towards electric cars, the usage of diesel engine cars and its mechanic have not decreased to extinction.
In terms of typewriters, indeed it is pointless to try to keep the tradition alive, but for cars it can happen, depending upon the availability of goods.
Thus, with the development in technology, the traditional skills and ways of life does die out in some instances, but not for all.

1.Agree/ Disagree:
Some people are of opinion that the key to sucess in business is to possess a unique product to sell. To what extend do you agree or disagree
Nowadays, it is a common perception, to be successful in business, one should produce unique or distintive product. Since its not possible for majority, I totally disagree with this stance. Core factors effecting success are marketing strategy for its advertisement, and promotion, attractive product packaging, and above all after sales services.

2. Both views:
Many people are happy that historical buildings are protected from being knocked down; whereas, other people would like to see them replaced by more usefil buildings such as houses and recreation facilities. Discuss both views.

People have different views either to keep or dimolish old buildings. Normally, its the responsibility of the state to ensure the safety of heritage by preserving historical infrastructure as it mirrors our ancestry, and culture as well as it preserves cultural identity. It attracts tourists from all world. Although, population growth is on rapid increase, some people think, new residential and liesure spots should be created by replacing them.

3. Advantages and Disadvantages:
Private care owners should be taxed highly and money invested in public transport in order to reduce congestion. What are the advantages and disadvantages of such a solution.
Each government has prime focus to improve transportation facilities and adopts different strategies to have minimum traffic. Likewise, by imposing heavy cess on vehicle purchase. Although it would increase govt revenue which can be invested for pulic transports, widing roads, and traffic laws enforcement, it would have adverse effect on buying power of middle/lower class person.Also, a drastic drop of sales in automobile industry which would result in unemployment of thousand of people.

Agree or Disagree
Some people are of the opinion that the key to success in business is to possess a unique product to sell. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
I agree with the opinion that key to success in business is to possess a unique product to sell. The reason is the business is able to skim profits before competitor due to the first mover advantage and also able to control prices because of having monopoly due to the uniqueness of product.

Both views
Many people are happy that historic buildings are protected by laws to prevent them from being knocked down; whereas, other people would like to see them replaced by more useful buildings such as houses and recreation facilities. Discuss both sides.
I believe protection of historic buildings by law is important because some buildings are related to an important historic event or symbolizes an ancient culture. Nevertheless, with the growth of population and a need to fulfil housing requirements of people many old buildings need to be renovated into apartments.

Advantages and Disadvantages
Private car owners should be taxed highly and the money invested in public transport in order to reduce congestion. What are the advantages and disadvantages of such a solution?
Charging higher taxes to private car owners and investing in public transportation will definitely reduce traffic congestion by shifting more people to public transport and is likely to reduce pollution related to private cars also. Nonetheless, it may also deteriorate public transport due to increased demand causing more people to shift to private cars despite higher taxes.

Problem-Causes-Solution
Obesity in children is greatly increasing and this could lead health problems for them later in life, as well as health care costs. Why do you think so many children are obese and what could be done to solve this problem
Obesity in children is increasing which will not only increase health issues later in life but will also increase health care cost. The reason is eating habits as junk food is preferred in terms of healthy food and the reduction in physical sports due to invention of mobile, tablets and video games. This could be improved with the help of parents who should not allow their children to eat junk food and educational institutes making the requirement of physical sports mandatory for the children in each grade.
