The education system of the country is such that many students are forced to study the subjects at school, even though their interest lies somewhere else.

 Many people believe that such students must be allowed to get a job early while others believe that they must be convinced to work hard at school.

Discuss.

Every individual is unique and some children rebel going to school. With regard to this, there are two opposite thoughts, one believes that children not interested in school must be allowed to find job, while others are of the opinion that it is the duty of parents to mould their children.

There are several reasons for why going to school is crucial for a child. Firstly, one cannot differentiate between someone who is purely disliking studies for factual reasons or is talented in other ways. Secondly, schools provide the academic information required for enlarging students’ knowledge background. Even more, a school provides the environment for all round development of a child.

However, if an individual is not interested in schools, they must not be forced. Leaving school at early stage has its own advantages. Firstly, a job helps students realise their interests and also improve on their social skills. Furthermore, they can get a better idea of the society during a job, which cannot be obtained in schools. In addition, jobs make people more responsible. For instance, one learns how to manage money and live independently.

Overall, in my opinion, what matters is whether the child is getting the required knowledge. Like Angelina jolie teaches her children at home and Sachin Tendulkar left studies after tenth, it purely depends on what the passion of the person is and school does help in figuring it out. However, if a person is already clear of what they want, he/she must be allowed to work in that field.

With the young people getting into jobs, a universal discussion on whether young employees play critical role in an organisation over the older or experienced workers, has come into fore front. Although some favour the energy and the novelty that a youngster brings along with him/her, many are of the opinion that the experience is what helps in taking better decisions.

There are certain factors that do favour the young. Firstly, with technological advancement in the every field, youngsters have become the preferred choice. This is because young people have just graduated and are more familiar with the latest technology and keep themselves updated.
Secondly, younger workers are more flexible and adjustable when it comes to change departments or positions. This is mainly because the young is only responsible for himself/herself, unlike the older generation which has lot of responsibilities.

Turning to the other side of argument, older generation come with their experience, which is very important in the jobs requiring responsibility. They are more aware of the tricks and traps of the games and can mostly make better decisions. Even more, older employees have worked in technologies which are now obsolete, which can help them to create new things.

Overall, in my opinion, the true value of a company is a vibrant, energetic and ready to learn, relearn and unlearn, employee. It could either be a young candidate or an older gen person.

The increase in the amount of traffic is responsible for growing problems in many large cities and has resulted in traffic congestion. What are some of the measures to deal with this problem?

---

SAMPLE ANSWER

The growth in the quantity of traffic in most major cities has led to the problems of congestion in the peak traffic hours. This has caused increases level of stress along with some health diseases. Although the problem in itself is a major deal, with proper steps the solution can be reached.

Firstly, people must be made aware about the possible measures. For instance, every country figures out about the problems and solutions, but often they get caught up in the files and never reach the common man. Awareness that the problem can be solved, must be made among people. Secondly, sharing car among people, will lessen the number of cars, hence helping to reduce traffic. Thirdly,  if people use subways, buses and other public transport for their travel then traffic can be reduced. For example, in Singapore everybody uses public transportation. By the usage of public transportation, Singapore has no traffic problem.

Even more, it has been observed that the better the quality of roads, the lesser is the traffic. For instance, in countries like America, not only are the roads good they are even wide enough to handle the traffic. This helps in reducing congestion. Even more, government must take steps regarding it,such as increased taxes on vehicles, so that people buy it when they need it.

Overall, in my opinion, a problem can only be solved by joint efforts and therefore, to solve this issue we as individuals need to join hands with government, to ensure better driving experience.
