The disadvantages are that if you send children to school so young, they may miss their homes and cry all day, and teachers may lose control of them. Playing games can provide children an excellent chance to work with other kids and develop their talents in a way that will always interest them, also they will be happier because that is what they like. The disadvantages are that they cannot play all the time and at any time they have to be sent to school and maybe they will not like that, and they will not learn faster. I think that it is better that children should live what they need to live. I think that is wrong to send children to school at such a young age, they need to play and be with their mother for a while and then they need to learn at school but at the proper time. Essay 568 Topic 112 How should children spend their time? There is much discussion above when should children begin to study? Some people think that children should start learning as early as possible. Other people, however, argue that young children could begin to study late. As far as I am concerned, young children should spend most of their time playing and not begin studying too early. Why do some people think that children should begin to study early? For one thing, children are very good at learning because they have good memory and accept new things quickly. If they waste their time when they are young, they probably need to spend much more time in learning the same thing when they are older. As we all know, learning a foreign language is a pain to adults, but is very easy to a child under ten. Although I agree there may be one or two advantages for children to begin to study early, I insist that the advantages of learning late far overweigh them. In the first place, people who spend most of their time playing could be more creative. Learning more means that children can know more, but also more restrictions will be pushed on them. If children play more, they may find many things interesting in their playing and raise many questions, such as hy can this happen? an I invent such a thing to help me??As a result, they always have more wonderful thoughts than those who begin studying very early, which helps them to study and work creatively when they grow up. In the second place, children could be more anxious to learn when they grow up if they spend most of their time playing. It is known that children like to play. Even if parents force them sitting in front of the table, they cannot concentrate on the studying stuff. Instead, they are thinking how to finish the study early and go to play. They will be bored in studying when they grow up, since they think they study for their parents. But Children who spend most of their time playing do not have the bad memory of studying. When they grow up, they will be willing to study even if parents do not monitor them, because they feel they are studying for themselves. For more material and information, please visit Tai Lieu Du Hoc at www.tailieuduhoc.org In conclusion, I believe that young children should play more not only because that they will be more creative, but also because they will be more anxious to learn when they grow up. Therefore, I strongly hold that all parents should not push their young children into studying too early. Essay 569 Topic 112 How should children spend their time? In our rapidly changing world people begin to understand more and more that nothing is so valuable but knowledge. Education has become an important part of people`s life and due to this some people think that children should begin their formal education at a very early age and should spend most of their time on school studies. But others believe that young children should spend most of their time playing. To my mind these two views should be balanced so not to go to the extremes. Here are my arguments for this view : According to the first point of view that children should start early their studies brought me to the conclusion that it can be harmful and damaging for a child`s inner world and personality. Here is my example : As I am a teacher I see the result of beginning early education. Children who start early are deprived and robbed of their childhood and their intrinsic right to play. In this way they keep playing at school and the process of learning stops immediately. Besides, the child that is not allowed to play and has to study can begin hate education process and teaches. So it can spoil the whole picture. When facing a question of early education it is also important to note that children who begin to study at an early age are often overloaded by studying material and homework and they are not ready to cope with this. Besides some parents neglect their children and do not pay attention to the child`s problems at school so here is the immediate result of hating school. The second opinion that children should pay more attention to playing than studying at an early age is also for some extent faulty because the child is not prepared for school at all and has no idea what he is going to do at school and in this way he cannot be able to manage the school education program. In conclusion I would like to point out that by all these illustrations I keep to the idea that education should be balanced appropriately so that not to deprive a child of the childhood that can be only once in life. And it is quite essential to manage to see whether the child is ready to go to school and cope with such challenges or this should wait a bit for him to have the pleasure of the play. Essay 570 Topic 112 How should children spend their time? What is the best time for children to start their school education? Different people have different opinions. Some people think that children should begin their formal education at a very early age and should spend most of their time on school studies. Others believe that young children should spend most of their time playing. Personally, I prefer the For more material and information, please visit Tai Lieu Du Hoc at www.tailieuduhoc.org second opinion because playing is the best way for young children learn. As everyone knows, children, especially young children, like to play. When playing, they are pleased and never feel tired. This is a good time for young children to learn some things because at this time, young children can pay attention in their activities. When children play games, their brains are in a positive thinking condition. For example, many young children have learned math since they play games. Therefore, if adults often provide some proper games for their young children, their children will gain a lot of knowledge from their games. On the other hand, if young children go to school at a very early age, they may not be able to remain to seat in classes. If their parents or teachers ask them to study, they may lose their interest about the school. More seriously, much more assignments and tests will bother them. Gradually, they may have bad moods when they go to school. As a result, they cannot get more knowledge from school, and in contrast, their health may be affected. For example, some of the young students have headaches, stomach pain, and eye myopia. All of these physical problems will affect their future. In fact, when young children play, they not only learn a lot of knowledge, but also get many experiences for their lives. Therefore, young children begin their formal education later is not wasting time because they already learn a lot before they go to school. Essay 571 Topic 112 How should children spend their time? Education has always played an essential role in people`s lives as in most cases it determines the intellectual and professional development of a person. One of the chief questions today is whether children should be encouraged to begin their formal education at an early age or rather wait until they are seven or eight years old to start school. Comparing both of the alternatives, I agree with the former assumption. Some people believe that as childhood is one of the most important stages in one`s life it should be fully enjoyed. They point out to the fact that the pressure of today`s world is too great to impose it to children when they are that young. Indeed, playing with friends is a thing that every child needs in order to grow up healthy and sociable. Games provide a great chance for children to explore the world around them and learn how to deal with difficult situations. Most of the time, when a child plays he/she talks and interacts with his/her peers, which is very helpful for building communicational skills. However, we live today at a time when the world is constantly changing and people are required to keep in pace with new standards. In the Information Age it is getting more and more difficult even for people who are well educated to withstand the great competition. Parents are now sending their children to school at a very early age in order to prepare them for the challenges of the present. Nowadays it is no longer enough to study hard to succeed.

Essay 574 Topic 112 education or isolation? Education is a topic that has played an important role in human culture all through history. Approaches vary very much in different cultures but also in different social environments. In modern western societies it can be observed that children are subjected to less and less rules. Yet on the other hand the demand for well educated workers is on a steady rise. Thus it is not surprising that some people call for an earlier introduction of children to formal education. Actually, it is true that the requirements of our society for education increase while the level of education is hardly living up to them. It might seem necessary to start formal education at an earlier age to be able to convey more knowledge to future adults. Another reason why it might make sense to force a child to accept a certain schedule is to teach it to conform with a set of rules which is necessary not only in our society but has always been a part of education. Insisting on a certain amount of discipline might nowadays be especially important regarding all the distractions our society offers for children. This is also the main reason for the argument that keeping a child occupied with studying might help to avoid some problems of modern childhood. Especially by introducing ways of using one's free time except for playing video games or watching television. However it also seem important to me to give children time to spend on their own. They have to develop and use their natural sense of exploration, which is an important aspect of every childhood. They also need chances to develop their own will. The needs of modern societies not only ask for well educated people but also for people who are able to develop inventive approaches to various problems. Playing also is an important field for social contact and thus forcing a child to spend most of its time on studying might deprive it of chances to socialize with its environment and thus it might eventually contribute to isolating a child. I believe that if early education is to be applied then it should be child-friendly. It should attract children to education rather than deter them from it Essay 575 Topic 113 A new university in the community The issue of building a new university in my community deserves careful consideration because it is such a complex one. Of course, there are advantages and disadvantages of establishing a new university, especially, in my community. Personally, I support this plan because the advantages of this idea are far more than its disadvantages. In the one hand, there is only one disadvantage of this plan. It goes without saying that a new university can receive thousands of students in its campus. Moreover, many businessmen would set new stores surround the school, without question, it definitely attracts more people come to here to buy things. Finally, during the rush hour, the traffic For more material and information, please visit Tai Lieu Du Hoc at www.tailieuduhoc.org situation in community would become very serious. In the other hand, there are more advantages of this plan. The first advantage is that a new university would bring a lot of work opportunities to local residents. Businessmen prefer setting stores nearby the school because students are their main targets. Absolutely, these stores need to hire many local people to work for them. The second advantage is that a new university in my community can greatly reduce the educational problem of local students. My living place is a small town, therefore, many students should go to other big cities which far from my community to attend university. Needless to say, students always spend a lot of time on commuting. Therefore, it is impossible to overestimate the importance of establishing a university in my community. That is not to say, of course, that other points of view are completely without merit. However, I believe that the advantages I have provided in favor of my point of view are stronger. Essay 576 Topic 113 requirements and effects The community I live in is situated in southern Germany. It is a small city in the countryside with about 30.000 inhabitants. The area can be described as quiet and idyllic. Tourism flourishes but mostly comprises older people. Locating a new university in this region would have profound effects on the whole community, especially due to its rather small size. There are some reasons why it would seem opportune to build a university in this region: The general level of education is rather high due to several schools for secondary education in the region which also have a good reputation. The life standard in comparison to other regions in Germany is quite high and unemployment is not a problem. Thus, a calm atmosphere for concentrated studies is provided. There are also some resident industrial and research companies which might be willing to establish partnerships with a new university and thus give students the opportunity to do gain practical experience. A specially appropriate field of study in this region might be tourism due to the high importance it has in the regions economy. Yet, it might generally not be opportune to establish a university in a not very densely inhabited region. The variety in the industry in our region is very reduced. There would only be opportunities to establish partnerships in quite few fields of study. Also, such a region would probably not be very attractive for many students who rather prefer living in big cities. Thus, the region might be fit to establish a university that concentrates mainly on tourism or other fields of study which are represented in the region. Other majors might experience a scarcity in opportunity for practical studies. Yet, the question whether to establish a university in this region or not would not be appropriately discussed without taking into consideration the effects that this university would have on the community. Certainly, establishing a university would enrich city life in general. There would probably be a large number of new cafes and other locations appropriate for students. Having a local university would also be an appealing factor that would help to attract investors to the region. And last but not least, new projects - start-up companies, social projects or the like - can be expected to be initiated by the students themselves. All these developments For more material and information, please visit Tai Lieu Du Hoc at www.tailieuduhoc.org would help to improve the economic situation and would render the city a more important center for the region. Yet, this might also have certain negative effects on the community. Older people, being the major source of local tourism, might consider the changes in the city a disturbance rather than an enrichment. Furthermore a large number of students would lead to a general strengthening of the youth culture in the region. In spite of all the positive aspects this may also aggravate social problems like drug traffic, the abuse of alcohol or violence and crime. To sum up, it seems important to me to consider which type of university could profit form the local environment and to ensure that important factors as tourism will not be affected negatively. Essay 577 Topic 114 What is the most important influence on young adults? I would generally agree with the statement that friends are the most important influence on young adults. Certainly, I cannot ignore the influence that family has on young people because the parents determine their children`s` further behavior. In my opinion, the most important influence on children is that family has. But when kids leave their usual circle of influence such as family because they become students they enter a new circle of influence of their schoolmates. In turn, their schoolmates become the most important influence on young adults until high school or college. When children become teenagers or young adults friends are those who have not only the most important but also the strongest influence on them. There are several reasons for that. First, many teenagers leave home to study at a distant high school or college. They have already broken connections with their families and friends become the closest people around them. Second, the most frequent social contacts young adults have are with their friends which are usually at the same age. Therefore, teenagers share same interests with their friends; they have same problems and what is more they depend on each other for help or advice. In addition, it is crucially important for an young adult to be a part of the youth culture. In order to be accepted in the society teenagers have to follow the same behavior models typical of their friends. All of above mentioned forms my opinion that friends are the most important influence on young peoples` further behavior. While some people think that the family is the most substantial factor for development of young adults I believe that friends have the most powerful effect on young peoples` attitude to the other members of the society and to the world as a whole. And sometimes that influence may last forever. Essay 578 Topic 114 What is the most important influence on young adults? Young adults may be influenced by many aspects in forming their characters and outlook on the world. Some people believe that the family is the most important influence on young adults. While others think that friends are the most important influence on them. For more material and information, please visit Tai Lieu Du Hoc at www.tailieuduhoc.org Both views base on respective beliefs. It is true that friends may exert great influence on young adults. They may study together in the same school and share similar experiences. They have much in common and may share their innermost secrets which they never let their parents know. Young people are easier to make friends with each other and communicate without bothering about generation gap, which is however a common problem existing between young adults and their families. However, it`s also generally accepted that parents are the first teachers in the growing process of their children. Parents teach their children how to utter the first word in their life, help them to step their first pace, witness their first love and give important suggestions when children need them. On the other hand, children follow their parents examples and even adore them when they are growing from little children to young adults. They are usually ready to turn to their parents who have more life experience than them for advice when they are faced with important decisions. Therefore, parents who witness most of the whole growing process of the young adults till they are mature enough are more important influence on them than their friends. Although young adults may reap a lot from their communication with their friends of similar ages, the most important influence to their life is always their families. Essay 579 Topic 115 Making plans for free time or not When there are some free time, there are people who prefer not to plan what to do, while there are others who like to carefully plan what to do or where to go. Both points of view have some benefits. In this essay, I will compare the advantages of planning and not planning how to spend our spare time. On one hand, if we plan how to spend our leisure time, we will probably make much more good use of it. Planning what to do is particular important if we do not have spare time very often. For example, my wife has her Saturdays for herself. On those days, she does not take care of our baby, or does not do any household activity. She enjoys planning exactly what she will do on Saturdays. I have to admit that she spends her Saturday time very cleverly doing a lot of things like making exercise, going shopping, visiting friends or maybe just sleeping. On the other hand, there are people who do not like to plan how to spend their free time. These people generally do not like to plan anything; they just enjoy leaving things to flow. For example, for me it is completely boring intend to thing what I will do and what not. I simply cannot thing about it; I get distracted immediately. And this has its advantages I have to say. I do not have to take care of weather. If the day is sunny I decide to stay outdoors, if the day is cloudy I could thing of going on a walk, and if the day is rainy I simply decide to stay indoors watching a movie or playing video games. Furthermore, because I have planned nothing, I do not have to change nothing because of For more material and information, please visit Tai Lieu Du Hoc at www.tailieuduhoc.org the weather, or just because I do not want to do what I planned to do previously. Summarizing, although both point of views are very respectable, I prefer not planning what to do. Of course, I understand the benefits of carefully planning our free time in order not to waste it; however not planning what to do in leisure time has also its advantages, which I have shown in this essay. Essay 580 Topic 115 Making plans for free time or not In today`s life, it is undeniable that our lives are always busy. As a result, when having free time, one must consider how to spend his/her time wisely. Some people prefer planning the activities before their free time comes while others do not. For me, planning ahead is my preferred choice since I would like to spend my free time as hassle-free and economically as possible. Spontaneity can be fun for almost everyone including me. Indeed, not planning for my leisure time can give me thrills. A good example of this is that when I decide to go to a new restaurant, I will enjoy the fact that I can explore new menus and learn about the new place. Moreover, after a day of hard-working, one rarely looks forward to spending their time preparing for their entertainment. However, there is a clich?saying that ell prepared is half-way done. ?This means that well preparation for my leisure time would give me less work when I am taking my days off. For example, if I make a reservation for a hotel for my vacation in advance, I will not have to worry about having to find a hotel when I am actually on my vacation. Moreover, with advanced preparation, I will be reassured that my plan would run as smoothly as possible. Unsurprisingly, planning ahead also enables me to plan my vacation within the expected budget. To sum up, although not planning ahead gives me thrills and do not require me to put more work on preparing, the benefits of planning ahead outweighs the benefits mentioned preceding. Because of this, I opt for having my leisure time planned in advance. Essay 581 Topic 115 Free to Be Free As the society works faster and faster, the free time which we can dominate is less and less. Some people prefer to plan activities for this less and less free time very carefully, while others do not. The latter hold the opinion that "Free to Be Free". As I know, planning free time can reduce the waste of this precious time. A schedule may make your holiday more efficient and more pleasant. However, a plan would also waste your time to make a plan sometimes. For example, a man has a scarce free Sunday, but he spends the whole morning to make a decision where he should spend this holiday. What a waste it is. As far as I am concerned, I like not to plan for my free time. Since I am a brainworker, I For more material and information, please visit Tai Lieu Du Hoc at www.tailieuduhoc.org am fed up with all kinds of plans and schedules. One day when I do not have to face them would be a free day to me. I want to be free in my free time. As many people say that, I want to be "Free to Be Free". Although it might waste the free time, but such a waste would be a break which make me out of my busy work and I am happy with that. Planing your free time or not makes less difference for everyone's life. The most important point is that if you are happy with your plan, plan it, and if you are not, then drop it. Anyway, do what you want to do. Essay 582 Topic 115 Free times Time holds a vital place in our daily life. Free times are often looked for having fun or to have complete rest. In order to make use of free times, one must always plan his daily work and how to use his free time. Therefore, I would certainly prefer to plan activities for my free time. If we consider both the ideas very carefully, we could include some of the following points: 1) Without planning any kind of work or activities in free time may result some important work left to be done. For example, if we have three hours to work and one hour is off, in that free time without planning how to use it, we sometimes spend it on other works that we forgot to do. Therefore, we cannot properly use free time on resting or having fun. On the other hand, if we plan our daily schedule and also plan some activities for free time, we can use full advantage of it and also we can maintain extra work on a planned schedule. 2) To plan activities for free time not only make us fresh for other works, we can also spend leisure time with our families and children, thus paying attention to other duties along with our work. Not planning could sometimes cause no free time at all, because of endless work at times may consume our free time and therefore making us more tired and restless. 3) Planning activities for free time may make us more self-confident in making good decisions which results in using most of the time precisely and accurately, while not planning could create a lack of decision making in one's life. 4) Plan one's activities may also results in the fulfillment of his desires of taking part in other activities which he is interested in. On the contrary, one cannot gain advantage of fulfilling his desires which could result in embarrassment of not using one's leisure time precisely. In conclusion, one should always look for benefits when spending free time, because often people do not have enough free time to spend and especially in today's world, free time is consumed by the burden of work which makes a person lost in his work and not taking care of himself. Time is always given much importance by all people and all societies of the world. Essay 583 Topic 116 Methods of learning Living in this developing world, people should keep learning. Some people learn by doing all the things themselves, others like to learn by listening to other people talk about things. In terms of my experience and perception, I am convinced that reading about things from books, magazines or newspapers is the best way to learn. The detailed reasons why I think so go as follow. The most important reason for my view is that the knowledge in the books is always . that nothing is so valuable but knowledge. Education has become an important part of people`s life and due to this some people think that children should. set of rules which is necessary not only in our society but has always been a part of education.
