“Spend Time with Few Or Larger Group”

Some people prefer to spend time with one or two close friends. Others choose to spend time with a large number of friends. Compare the advantages of each choice. Which of these two ways of spending time do you prefer? Use specific reasons to support your answer.
-----------------------------------------

I prefer to have one or two close friends instead of many. In contrast I believe that more number of friends means contacts. To have more contacts is beneficial on the business front. People with more contacts are more successful compared to those who have less number of contacts. Nevertheless to have close friends one must have limit to one or two. Because close friends sometimes know many things about us which many others are not supposed to know, also we can’t rely on too many to share personal information with. We must be highly disciplined in this matter.

Friends occupy positions of extreme importance in our lives. Often it can seem as if they are more important than parents! Friends can have great influence over many areas of a peer’s emerging identity. Their choice of music, movies, clothes, boyfriends or girlfriends, classes, jobs, and so on. In some cases, it doesn’t stop here; it also covers the personal standards of behavior, school / university performance, morals and values. This makes it especially important for the one to make good friendship choices.

Friends influence peer’s life, even if they don't realize it, just by spending time with them. We often learn from them, and vice versa. It's only human nature to listen to and learn from other people. Friends can have a positive influence each other. Friends build a sense of trust, respect, and mutual support.

In the nutshell, sometimes one may become more susceptible to negative influences like getting addicted to smoking, drinking, drug-abuse and premature sex and many more. Hence it is very important to choose close friends extremely carefully and selectively with whom we can spend quite some time.

“Spend Time Alone or With Friends”

Some people prefer to spend most of their time alone. Others like to be with friends most of the time. Do you prefer to spend your time alone or with friends? Use specific reasons to support your answer.
------------------------------


I would prefer to spend time with friends as far as possible. In this essay I will elaborate on my viewpoint.

Mankind is social creature and one must learn to live among society and not aloof. By staying alone one becomes introvert and none seems to care for him or her. When one is with friends, he or she can interact with them and vice versa. We learn many things by interacting with friends. Friends occupy positions of extreme importance in our lives. Often it can seem as if they are more important than our parents even! Friends can have great influence over many of us. Our choice of music, movies, clothes, boyfriends or girlfriends, classes, jobs, and so on. In some cases, it doesn’t stop here; it also covers the personal standards of behavior, school or university performance or business performances, morals and values. This makes it especially important for us to make good friendship choices.

Introversion is "the state of or tendency toward being wholly or predominantly concerned with and interested in one's own mental life". Introverts tend to be quiet, low-key, deliberate, and relatively non-engaged in social situations. They take pleasure in solitary activities such as reading, writing, and drawing, watching movies, listening to music, inventing, and designing. An introverted person is likely to enjoy time spent alone and find less reward in time spent with large groups of people. They prefer to concentrate on a single activity at a time and like to observe situations before they participate.

In conclusion there are no rights or wrong for being introvert or extrovert, it is solely a matter of choice of an individual. However I enjoy being in company of my friends most of the time.

“Spend On Technology or Basic Needs”

Some people think that governments should spend as much money as possible on developing or buying computer technology. Other people disagree and think that this money should be spent on more basic needs. Which one of these opinions do you agree with? Use specific reasons and details to support your answer.
-----------------------------


I feel government must spend more money on basic human needs rather than computer technology.

Immense increase in world population has given rise to many grave problems. The basic human needs for fresh water, food, housing and fuel have sky rocketed and those are making unprecedented demands on our global and local ecosystems. Further than the necessities of survival, there is increasing demand throughout the globe for more material goods and services. As the nations strive to increase material wealth and the comforts and conveniences, the pressure on biodiversity and natural resources has tremendously increased. Enormous housing constructions causes trees falling and jungle cutting thereby causing imbalance of ecology. Furthermore, numerous vehicles cause environment pollution by emission of carbon mono oxide and carbon-dioxide and heat generation.

Heat generation thus adds to global warming. Global warming represents a profound and emerging threat to biodiversity around the world. As temperatures rise, many habitats for plants and animals will change sometimes depriving them of the homes and niches. As a result, many species will become extinct, and ecosystems around the world will become even more fragile.

Massive industrialization has caused tremendous amount of gases in the atmosphere that has in turn caused depletion in ozone layer resulting into shortage of Oxygen. Many other liquids discharged in form of effluents contaminate the earth thereby most fertile land turns into barren.

Summarizing, a large population strata consists of commoners that has no direct or indirect impact of advancement of computer technology. However computer technology is important for overall progress and development. But the basic human needs are a paramount importance for survival and must not be neglected.
