Children are given too much free time. They feel that this time should be used to do more school work.

Some people believe that children are given too much free time. They feel that this time should be used to do more school work? How do you think children should spend their free time?


To a large extent, I believe that children are given too much free time.

Free time in my opinion refers to time not spent under the direct supervision of a parent, teacher or a person entrusted with the responsibility of bringing up the child.

Such time is often spent on several things such as watching television, playing with friends, going to parties, doing home work, playing games on their own among others.

Working from home should be encouraged as it is good for workers and employers

Computers and modems have made it possible for office workers to do much of their work from home instead of working in offices every day. Working from home should be encouraged as it is good for workers and employers. 

Do you agree or disagree?

In recent years the vast expansion of information and communications technology has made teleworking much more practical. Although in many cases office workers could be made geographically independent by using modems, faxes and cell phones, few companies or employees take full advantage of this possibility.

There are a number of strong arguments in favor of allowing workers to work from home. Firstly costs for employers would be reduced because businesses would require less office space, which is often situated in the center of large cities. Secondly, worker's lives would be improved in a variety of ways. For example, they would not need to travel to get to work, which would give them more free time. Also, they could combine their work with their family life, which is a major advantage if they are parents of young children or they have old people to look after.

Animals should not be used for the benefit of human beings, unless there is evidence that the animals do not suffer in any way

Animals should not be used for the benefit of human beings, unless there is evidence that the animals do not suffer in any way. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?


This discussion about whether or not animals should be used for the benefit of humans is a very controversial one. There are people on both sides of the argument who have very strong feelings.

Animals have always been used by humans in many different ways, for example, as food, for work, and in research. Firstly, using animals for food reflects what happens throughout the animal kingdom where carnivorous, or meat-eating, animals kill other animals for food. Secondly, humans have achieved dominance over animals and are able to use them to work, for example, in the fields or to pull carts and other transport. Moreover, animals undoubtedly suffer during medical research, but this research may prevent humans from suffering in the future.
