- some positive characteristic would be set up in the children by
doing housework early. In fact, the character can be formed
when people do something frequently, especially with children
who do not really have and express it. The repeated actions will
make habits and then become a character. Therefore, if we can
encourage the children do some housework alone frequently,
they can be independent upon parents. They have responsibility
for their jobs by trying completing those works. When a child
can complete it freely, he respects what he has done and as a
result, they like to try out with new challenges and love labour.
That is excellent character of great people, of many celebrities.

they deserve it, and it partially true because they are, in

bottom of the hierarchy. Also in many companies it does

This is a widespread practice in former communist
countries. The rewards do not come until you have gone
up this hierarchy and this happens after twenty years or
so.

consume more, buy good quality products, go on holidays and do numerous
activities. All these things contribute to a more enjoyable life. Even though
the job we do does not completely satisfy us, all the other moments apart
from our job time will be filled with exciting things. The purpose is to reach
well being and to some extent happiness, and money is a way to do it.

governments throughout the world make huge profits from levying
developing cancer. Smoking may also cause other taxes on cigarettes. This provides funds which are used for building
problems like heart attack and respiratory illnesses. schools, hospitals and other public amenities.
The biggest problem with smoking is that in order to
suffer from its ill effects, you don’t necessarily have
to be a smoker. Passive smoking also kills. It is
particularly harmful for young children and pregnant
women. If people are allowed to smoke in crowded
public places like railway stations or bus stands, its
harmful effects will have to be borne by all people
standing next to the smoker. Banning smoking in
public places is the only way to solve this problem.
- Pollution is one of the biggest problems that we
face today. Smoking not only aggravates this
problem but it also causes the depletion of the ozone
layer which protects us from sun’s harmful ultraviolet
rays. It is evident that smoking plays a significant role
in damaging our health and our environment.

TOPIC 60 we are becoming so dependent on technology that it is taking over our lives, resulting in
bad leaders
FOR AGAINST
the creation of transportation devices has gradually
changed us and made us lazier. These devices were
initially invented to make transportation quicker and
easier, which they do, but mankind has taken it to the
next level. Able-bodied people have started using their
cars to drive down the street to the mailbox or to a
friend’s house. There is no need to drive a car when the
destination is so close. It is not only lazy, but a waste of
fuel, which is another argument in itself. Also, the
current craze of creating automatic cars where people
don't have to actually control them is a problem as well.
With the creation of these automated cars, people are
losing their responsibility skills, which is a skill good
leaders need.
technology is used as a lone source of communication
with others, which leads to anti-socialism and bad
communication skills. Cell phones are a top priority in
the lives of teens today because they are a way of
connecting to friends 24/7. For example, if a teenager is
out and needs to get a hold of his or her parents fast, a
cell phone would come in handy; however, the idea of
over-the-phone communication is abused. Most of the
time, with my generation especially, conversations that
may be uncomfortable in person, like break-ups, are
done through calls or texts. It may be argued that being
able to break-up with someone virtually is the best
choice, but everything becomes extremely impersonal.
Also, young people say things over texts or the internet
that they would never say to a person’s face. Audacity
like this leads to problems such as cyber bullying. Cell
phone abuse results in bad leaders because
communication is a key skill to good leadership.
technology is dumbing down society. Trivial appliances
like calculators or spell check may seem like they are
just there for convenience, but they are really depended
on. Sure, they make life easier, but are they really
necessary for words we should have learned in
elementary school or simple math problems? When
students let technology do their work for them, they
become more and more dependent and eventually

World Wide Web for information… what was done just
10 years ago when the W3 was barely an idea?
Resources such as books and encyclopedias at the
library were used to gather information. It is not
impossible to live without it, but today that is what is
thought, especially by the younger generation. Losing
these thinking and intelligent skills may not seem like a
big deal, but it is the small details of a leader that
distinguish from being bad, average, or good.
People have become way too dependent on technology
to the point where it seems to be taking over their lives
and has led them to becoming inferior to it. Since
people are letting technology dominate, they are losing
skills that are necessary to be good leader. This is
especially bad that teenagers are so dependent because
they are the leaders of tomorrow.

a wide range of goods and services, including food,
souvenirs, accommodation and travel. The governments
and inhabitants of every country should be happy to
subsidise important tourist sites and encourage people from
the rest of the world to visit them.
If travellers realised that they would have to pay more to
visit historical and cultural attractions in a particular nation,
they would perhaps decide not to go to that country on
holiday. To take the UK as an example, the tourism industry
and many related jobs rely on visitors coming to the country
to see places like Windsor Castle or Saint Paul’s Cathedral.
These two sites charge the same price regardless of
nationality, and this helps to promote the nation’s cultural
heritage. If overseas tourists stopped coming due to higher
prices, there would be a risk of insufficient funding for the
maintenance of these important buildings.
some point out that foreign visitors should not pay more, because
this may result in a drawback for a local economic. The reason is
that the visitors will not decide to visit a country when they find
out that they need to pay more than local people. A good
example illustrating this point is that the majority of visitors will
not go to historical sites in Malaysia, such as Malaysia Istana,
because they feel it is unfair to pay more than local malaysians.
