SPEAKING: DESCRIBE A PLACE YOU WOULD LIKE TO VISIT IN THE NEAR FUTURE

WELL, I AM CURRENTLY LIVING IN A SMALL AND LESS AFFLUENT COUNTRY, THEREFORE, TRAVELLING ABROAD CAN BE SEEN AS A LUXURIOUS HOBBY. HOWEVER IF I HAVE A CHANCE TO GO OVERSEAS, I WILL LIKELY OPT FOR AMERICA.

LET’S MOVE ONTO THE SOURCE OF MY INFORMATION ON THE USA, IN FACT, I GOT ACCESS TO THE DATA ON THIS COUNTRY WHEN I WAS A SMALL CHILD. WHEN I HAVE GROWN UP AND KNOW HOW TO SPEAK ENGLISH, I MAINLY SEARCH THE NEWS AND CULTURE OF AMERICA ON MAGAZINES, NEWSPAPERS AND INTERNET.

THROUGH  MASS MEDIA, I HAVE DISCOVERED THAT THE USA IS WHERE MANY SMASHES WERE PRODUCED. IN FACT, BUT FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF HOLYWOOD, WE COULD NEVER HAVE SEEN MANY OVERWHELMING SCENES IN CARIBBEAN PIRATES OR SPIDERMAN. MOREOVER, WHEN TRAVELLING TO AMERICA, IT WILL BE A PITY IF YOU MISS VISITING GOLDEN BRIDGE. THE VIEW OF BREAKING DAWN REFLECTED TO THE WATER IS ABSOLUTEL Y AWESOME.

HOAC

FROM MANY PEOPLE'S VIEW, AMERICA IS BEST FEATURED THROUGH THE IMAGES OF HOLYWOOD OR GOLDEN BRIDGE, WHERE YOU CAN SEE THE BREAKING DAWN OR THE SUNSET. NEVERTHELESS, I AM MOST ATTRACTED BY THE TIME SQUARE, WHERE I CAN SEE MANY VISITORS/INTERNATIONAL TOURISTS FEEDING PIGEONS ON A PATIO. HONESTLY SPEAKING, THE SCENE ALWAYS BRINGS ME A SENSE OF PEACE.

FINALLY, IF THERE IS TIME, I WOULD LIKE TO HIGHLIGHT THE FACT THAT DESPITE THE SUBSTANTIAL TRAVELLING EXPENSE, I DO BELIEVE THAT ONE DAY, I CAN GRAB AN OPPORTUNITY TO PAY AMERICA A VISIT. 

POVERTY OR WEALTH

Children who are brought up in families that do not have large amounts of money are better prepared to deal with the problems of adult life than children brought up by wealthy parents. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?

 In contemporary society, where the gap between the rich and the poor is inevitable, it is believed that children who were born into impoverished families are able to solve problems that they encounter later in their adulthood than those living in wealth. Personally, I totally agree with the statement given for several reasons. Initially, there is no doubt that poor children are more flexible in dealing with their own hardships. In fact, they already get used to manage their own life without sufficient financial conditions. Without money, these children often have to write on scrap paper as a replacement for colorful notebooks which often belong to those enjoying an absolutely comfortable lifestyle. Similarly, they may be seen bring leftover of the previous night’s dinner to school in order that their parents do not have to worry much about their lunch and refreshments. Obviously, when they have grown up, they not only know how to economically manage their life, but also bravely confront their financial difficulties.

 Besides, I would also argue that as needy children have to fight to address their own problems, they are apparently more independent in the decision-making process than those having wealthy parents. For children suffering from poverty, waiting for their parents’ attention to their concerns is hopeless since they are well aware that their top priority is earning money. Therefore, when being bullied at school, for example, they tend to come up with a variety of solutions and select the best one based on their own consideration. From my own point of view, I do assume that this definitely helps them become more decisive and avoid being heavily dependent on others’ help in later life.

In conclusion, from all of the arguments mentioned above, I am strongly convinced that wealthy children can never be compared with those living in poverty in dealing with the problems of adult life as the latter are better prepared with a greater sense of independence and flexibility.
