Let's have
1. Technology
Topic: Some people think technology makes life easier, while others believe it makes life more complicated. Discuss botht the views and give your opinion.
Easier (Positive):
-
Saves time (online shopping, mobile banking).
-
Improves communication (video calls across countries).
-
Boosts productivity (automation, AI tools).
-
Medical progress (diagnosis, surgeries).
More complicated (Negative):
-
Overdependence → less critical thinking.
-
Privacy concerns (data leaks, hacking).
-
Social isolation (less face-to-face interaction).
-
Job loss due to automation.
Opinion idea: Technology is a double-edged sword; overall, it eases life but requires responsible use.
2. Education
Topic: Some people believe practical skills are more important than theoretical knowledge in schools. To waht extent do you agree or disgaree?
Practical skills importance:
-
Directly applicable in jobs (coding, financial literacy, communication).
-
Helps in real-life survival (first aid, cooking, taxes).
-
Increases student motivation (hands-on learning).
Theoretical knowledge importance:
-
Builds foundation for higher studies (science, math, law).
-
Needed for research and innovation.
-
Encourages abstract and critical thinking.
Balanced view: Both are complementary; education should integrate theory with practice (e.g., project-based learning).
3. Environment
Topic: Governments should spend more money on renewable energy rather than fossil fuels. Do you agree or disagree?
Agree (Yes, on renewable):
-
Fossil fuels cause pollution & climate change.
-
Renewable energy is sustainable & infinite.
-
Creates new green jobs and industries.
-
Reduces dependence on oil-importing nations.
Disagree (Still fossil fuels needed):
-
Infrastructure for renewable is expensive.
-
Some industries (aviation, shipping) still rely on fossil fuels.
-
Renewables depend on geography (sun, wind).
Opinion idea: Majority investment should be in renewables, but fossil fuels cannot be abandoned immediately → gradual transition.
4. Work & Career
Topic: Many employees are working from home due to advancements in technology. Is this a positive or negative development?
Positive:
-
Flexibility & better work-life balance.
-
Saves commuting time and costs.
-
Increases productivity for self-motivated employees.
-
Reduces pollution (less travel).
Negative:
-
Lack of social interaction → isolation.
-
Harder to separate work and home life.
-
Not suitable for all professions (engineering, aviation, medical).
-
Employers struggle with monitoring.
Balanced opinion: Largely positive if companies provide hybrid models and support systems.
5. Globalization
Topic: The world is becoming more similar because of international media. Is this a positive or negative trend?
Positive:
-
Promotes cultural exchange & understanding.
-
Global access to information and entertainment.
-
Opportunities for international business and education.
-
Reduces prejudice through shared experiences.
Negative:
-
Loss of cultural identity & traditions.
-
Dominance of Western/American culture.
-
Smaller local industries (films, media) may suffer.
-
Risk of cultural homogenization.
Opinion idea: Globalization has benefits, but local cultures must be preserved through government policy and education.
