or landmark in your country do you recommend that other people visit? -When
some people travel to new areas, they like to visit educational places like
museums. Others prefer to spend time at more entertaining places like
amusement parks. Which do you prefer and why?
Improve general knowledge: (Collect information about new
places, history, ancient times, fossils and lots of other things.
So, this visit can be fast and very time efficient. For example,
last year I travelled to India and instead of going everywhere for
knowing about that country and collecting data I just visited the
national museum to learn about the customs exist in this broad
country)
learn about their culture and lifestyle → arts, musical instruments, clothing,
traditional ceremonies and festivals

scientist visit this museums to improve their professional knowledge, experts go there as well

Transportation vehicles
Choose one of the following transportation vehicles and explain why you think
it has changed people’s live: • automobiles • bicycles • airplanes
Airplane
Super-fast vehicle: in the past it took several days to travel by using
ship or train. Now just within hours we can travel in great distances from
one continent to another safely by preventing problems such as time
consuming traffic and tragic accidents. So, I believe that airplanes
revolved the transportation industry.
Help curing people during disasters : like earthquake – provide and
transport source of water, food etc. to help victims / transport wounded
people to a safe place - hospital
Question 2
Children should always obey their
parents
Children obey parents/teachers – workers obey boss
Yes, they should always obey
Parents/bosses know what's good and what's bad for their

can't make good decisions on their own
children sometimes play risky games or go to dangerous
places – they shouldn't disobey

Make decisions quickly or to take your
time making decisions.
Think before act/ get advice - Do you plan everything for your free time or
don't plan anything. What do you prefer? - Some people plan every detail of

or disagree with the following statement? Successful leaders should make
others part of the decision-making process: agree
Take my time
weigh the advantages and disadvantages
Make better decisions (fair decisions) because our decisions
influence ourselves and other people. I think quick decisions
lack considering the all possible solutions and simply lead to
regretful ideas. Lots of my friends are not interested in their
jobs because of their inconclusive and emotional decisions
about their fields.)

o’clock and study all my lessons in less than 2 hours.
Prefer to go to a big party or a small
gathering with friends
Big/large party/class/company/city – be alone or be with your friends – go
out or stay at home on holidays/weekends – eat/watch at home or out at
restaurant/cinema/theater – shopping alone or with others – write a paper/an

Not everything that is learned is
contained in books
AGREE
We can learn everything with books – no need to go to school and read book by
ourselves – going school is enough to learn everything - students should be
required to attend classes or should be optional for students - learn better by
themselves than with a teacher - Attending classes and learning from school is
better than getting information outside the class. Do you agree or disagree -
Do you agree or disagree the statement "We learn important things in
classroom?"
Sth like personal experience cannot be learned from books – self-esteem – should get
experience from their teacher knowledge – learn how to work with other people – like working
as a team on a university project – social interaction – can learn from others – make friends
– get help from others in the case of need
To summarize, the requisition to understand ideas and concepts exceeds that of learning
facts because it helps students be a successful person in the future and improve their
personal lives. It is highly time we stopped focusing on facts which are absolutely trivial and
pay attention to values which can revolutionize a person's life.
( disagree : Increase Scientific knowledge→ e.g. encyclopedia, broaden our mind.
Scientists from centuries ago have studied and summarized much knowledge for hundreds of
years so we can trust the information. Books help us to cultivate the specialized knowledge.
Learn new skills→ cooking ( new dishes, foreign food), taking care of baby, health care
Learn about different cultures →If we are interested in culture in other parts around
the world, we don't travel to others, by reading books, we have much understanding of belief,
customs and habits of those who don't belong to our country
Develop moral senses→ Bible, Quran, psychology books. Know what is right or wrong.
Teach us good manners. Books on ethics are important to us because they sharpen human
personality.)

believe, however, sports and social activities are by far more important than classes and libraries
since they help students enhance their personal lives, develop social skills, and make progress in
their academic studies.
People should sometimes do things that
they do not enjoy doing
Agree
Study/have a job you don’t like – go to school although we don’t want
way of learning new things (build new skills) →
it's part of life → studying, home works at school, household chores such as washing
the dishes and taking out the garbage,
necessary for earning money→ as a clerk at work do hard or uninteresting jobs

Sometimes vital for us→ going to the dentist or doctor. Doing a surgery. Giving blood

another place?
Employees for their entire lives
Businesses should hire employees for their entire lives. Do you agree or
disagree?: disagree
No competition→ no competition with other co-workers for getting promotions, little
motivation and less overall productivity
Decreased performance→ staff soon gets boring with their stable job in such a long
time, they will not work efficiently, The same-old-same-old environment soon makes them
depressed, take them days and months to complete a task
Increase in unemployment → No job for young graduated students, not allowing them
to explore their potential young people who graduate from universities and colleges would not
get any jobs in the industry until the current employees retire or resign from their jobs. These
young and educated people will suffer as they would not get a chance to work and experience
the things that they have learned during their education. If these new and young talents would
not get an employment they would not be able to earn and support their families.

and add more detail or may be ask for advice from someone else
Near school – do not need to wake up early to reach there- can access to its facilities more
easily like internet access or library - do not need to pay money on transportation like car
fuel or maybe public transportation and because I am near I can save time – do not waste my
time on my way to school
Audio books – can have them with myself everywhere because they don’t occupy any space
– listen to them on my way – just upload them to my mobile - they don’t need any light – so I
can listen to them when I am walking on the street at night or even when I lie on my bed
before sleep – they are cheaper
Good – faster production and cheaper equipment are produced now – the production process
is more accurate with the exactness of robot jobs - more people have access to them – help

encourage them to work harder to achieve their goal – start job together and become
successful because I was the manager of the job
My own – I have enough knowledge about it – and I have equipment which is needed- it is
cheaper – faster – when someone else do it for you it takes log time until they take it and
bring it back
Agree
If they want they can – they need just more effort – they are more experienced so they can
perform better – they
Agree
The biggest part of your day you do job – give you stress you cannot forget them – do not
want to do that you will do it badly so you may earn less money and it will affect your life
