Many kinds of species have become extinct due to industry development. There are
preferences for developing industries instead of taking care of endanger animal habitat. I
disagree with the statement that protecting the environment of endangered species is more
valuable than developing an industry.

Many people think that art and music are not important to be taught in secondary school
because they are not necessary in life. However, I agree with the statement that all students
should learn art and music as part of their secondary school courses since it helps them
develop their personality and curiosity.

There are many ways of travelling such as alone, with family, with friends, with a mate or even
with coworkers. In my opinion, I prefer to travel alone because I can do whatever I want, and I
can manage my own schedule.

Many students traveled to study outside their home countries in recent years. Also, it is easier
to be accepted to enroll in a university than in the past. There are many reasons for this, such
as more opportunities, high probability for them to get a better job after their return and learn
a new culture.
Globalization has increased opportunities in many areas, including business, travel and
education. There are many schools and universities that accept international students and
help them with their education. Studying abroad has become popular for many students. I
think this is because they can understand other cultures, get a better education, and have
better job possibilities.

Ways
There are different views on the causes of violence in the world today.
Some argue that violence is attributed to people's exposure to violent scenes on television
and in films, while other point to wider problems in society such as unemployment,
education, and poor housing as the underlying cause of antisocial behavior.
In my opinion, poor parenting is the chief cause of violent behavior.

Everyone has different priorities in life, some people focus on achieve a great
amount of money despite having less time with their family, while others prefer to spend more
time with family and friends. In my opinion, family and friends are more important than money
because money comes and goes, but family is for all our lives.

It is generally believed that studying abroad is better than study in a home country because job
opportunities are higher. However, in my opinion, studying in any place does not guaranty a
successful position in any business since there is a gap between university courses and
business needs.
Some people believe that advertisements lure us to buy things that are not needed. Other
people think that it helps us choose the best product. In my opinion, I strongly believe that
advertisement encourage us to buy unwanted things that many times are not useful.

First of all, ads have been created to improve sales. Sometimes, ads cannot tell the true to
encourage clients to buy staffs. Although there are rules and government prohibit ads that do
not tell the true, nowadays the ads tell true but omits the bad thigs that can decrease the
decision to a person to buy.

Secondly, ads create an unreal necessity for persons that do not need to buy something at a
specific moment. For example, I went to the supermarket a week ago to buy groceries. I found
that clothes there were on sale. So, I bought some but when I get home, I figure out that I will
not use any of those clothes because I did not like at all.

Lastly, we see advertisements everywhere that control our brains. For instance, it is difficult
not to see any ads in a whole day. From the cellphone pup-ups to the wall ads that can be see
while driving. It is sure that business have to find the way to improve their sales. But I think
that too many adds does not allow us to avoid thinking of buying.
