  1.The 21st century has begun. What changes do you think this new century will bring? Use examples and details in your answer.

Man, through the ages, has undergone many changes from the time when he depicted a herd of mammoths on the walls of his cave to these days when he can create beautiful pictures and even make coffee by use of computer technologies without leaving his favorite chair. The 20th century made huge steps in developing computer technologies and reached many goals that made our life much easier. What should we expect in the 21st century?

First of all, I think that the pace of our life will speed up: we will move faster from one place to another, from one continent to another using high speed jet airplanes. Second of all, I believe that we will be able to do many things that take much time now without leaving our house. Computers will be everywhere including out clothes. Many people will have chips and mini computers inserted in their heads to hold huge amount of information and have a quick access to it.

But what will be the most amazing thing in the 21st century is the flights to the outer space and Mars that will be available to all people. Scientists say that Mars has many things similar to the Earth's. Moreover, they say that with the help of modern technology people can artificially create conditions that will allow people to live there on the constant basis.

To sum up, I am sure that many amazing changes will be brought by the 21st century. Furthermore, I think that with the help of the contemporary technologies people can do many things that were even difficult to imagine a century ago. So, nowadays it is rather difficult and even impossible to imagine all changes that will happen in the inserted in their heads to hold huge amount of information and have a quick access to it.

2.Would you prefer to live in a traditional house or in a modern apartment building? Use specific reasons and details to support your choice.

If I was asked where I would I prefer to live in a traditional house or in a modern apartment building, I think, I would hesitate to answer. This question, from my point of view, is a controversial one. In the following paragraphs I will analyze both these options and present my view.

From the one side, living in a modern apartment building brings many benefits.First of all, it is cheaper then living in a traditional house and paying different kinds of fees I am not familiar with. For instance, my friend, who recently bought a new house for his family, said me that it is much easier to live in an apartment and I tend to believe him when l see his bills. So, living in an apartment will definitely help me to save some money. Second of all, since l live alone I do not need a big house with many rooms. I just needa bedroom and a living room where I can take my guests and have my work place. Another important benefit of living in an apartment is that I will not have to buy much cumbersome furniture in order to furnish all rooms.

However, living in a modern apartment building can have a few disadvantages too. Firstly, it can be noisy and, secondly, I will not have any privacy outside my apartment, for example, in a pool or gym.

From the other side, living in a traditional house have some advantages too. For example, I can have my own pool, gym and a garden wherel can relax and be alone. However, living in a house is usually more expensive and requires more time to maintain a house. For instance, I will most likely have to hire someone to mow my lawn and clean my pool not to mention all household tasks inside the house.

In conclusion, I think at this moment I would prefer to live in an apartment. It can help me save some money and allows me to spend ore time studying because I will not haveo do many household tasks.

3.Can young people teach old people? Present your view. 

Answer :

Who says only old people can teach young people? We admit that older people have
much more experiences than our youngg people, and it is true that they can give
us much guidance when we encounter
problems or unsolv able difficulties. However, with the rapid development of the modern society, young people can also teach the older people a lot. They can update knowledge about new technologies
for the elders, share attitudes towards life
with them and bring freshness into their
lives. 

Since living in a very fast developing society, we need to make contact with many new technologies everyday. In other words, we need to learn everyday to keep up with the latest development. For example, computers are now very popular, but we seldom see the elders use computers. If they can learn how to use them from young people, they will definitely be beneficial from it because computers have brought a lot of changes to our lives and bring us new experiences. Young people are known for their quick
understanding and acceptance new things, so that I think they can teach the older about new technologies used in our daily life. 

The attitudes of young people are totally different from old people. Mostly they are more positive and energetic than old people. They have a different angle to judge things. Sometimes the elders are passive towards life because they went through a lot of frustrations. On the contrary, young people are full of energy towards the life, and they are always optimistic. They proudly say because they are young, they can try millions of times. In some degree, young people's attitudes may influence old people. 

Young people also can share with old people what they like, which may result a change of old people. As we know, most young people like popular music. I have a friend who likes Japanese music very well; everyday she plays this music at home. Her grandmother often asks her to stop the music and asks her why she likes it. My friend tells her grandmother about the history of Japanese music and shows her a lot of examples. Gradually her grandmother likes Japanese music as well, which made us so surprised. Now if we go to their house, we can see my friend and her grandmother listening Japanese music together and share the feelings as well. You must be surprised like me when you know the story, but it did happen. 

So, no matter what age group you belong
to, we must believe that everyone has
something to share with others and to teach others. Old people can give the youngsters lessons and guicdance, on the other hand, young people also can teach the elders new things and different ways towards life. 

To my ear this statement sounds false and a little too farefetched. It is truth universally acknowledged that the old people have volumes of experience, while the young have the energy and lots of creative power. Therefore I think that it's not suitable to take sides in this situation. Because in my view there is no way to determine who is better the old or the young. 

Obviously, each of these groups has its
Own positives and negatives. I suppose they should co-operate and be helpful to one another rather than try to rival. The exchange should be done for their own
mutual benefits. Even though the old people possess a great deal of experience, it is sometimes not enough for surviving in the changing modern world. That's why they often get stuck with their dated information, without being able to break free from their own prejudice. 

In many cases the old people are used to their old ways and, I imagine, it must be really hard for them to get adjusted to the new environment. But one should always remember that, like it or not, only the fittest survive. Therefore, if the old people don't
want to become extinct as dinosaurs did,
they should rather learn some ways from the young. The thing is that the young people are way more flexible to all of the little changes happening in their everyday
life. It is easier for them to get up-to-date and to face the fact that some old ways are no longer valid. For them it is not a difficult thing to come to terms with. I guess that this is something that could be of some use for the elder people as well. If they have lots of experience to give, the young can teach them lots of flexibility in return. 

In fact, I personally think that there are many things that the young can teach older people and flexibility is just one of them. But the problem is sometimes that the old are very unlikely to be willing to accept this kind of searching with their arms wide open. Most of the times they are conservative and prefer to stick to their old ways. 

An English proverb goes, "You can't teach an old dog new tricks." With all due respect to this folk wisdom, I have to admit that
it sounds somewhat dated to me. At the
same time I agree that almost every saying has a grain of truth to it, and this one is no
exception. Nor is another one? There is no fool like an old fool. As it can easily be seen, the two sayings contradict each other, which may seem terribly confusing. Nevertheless I would like to pursue the subject at some length and try to find out which one is in the right. 

It goes without saying that the old dog has quite a lot of experience. During its Ilifetime
it has learnt a lot of different tricks that now make it feel happy and content with itself. I believe it deserves all kind of respect and admiration, since it has done a pretty good job. But one should always remember that the kind of tricks it has been doing up to now are old-fashioned and not up-to-date anymore. There now exists a marvelous opportunity to do all of them over again in a better, more sophisticated way. It is not surprising that a young dog would be way more dexterous in performing those tricks.

4. If you become the prime minister of nepal, what would you first develop in your country. Discuss. 

Answer:

The first thing that I would do is develop advanced weapons. Yes, all the tax that Nepalese are paying to the government is being wasted. I want to see Nepal become a superpower. Every country in the world is being advanced in weapons. 

Yeah, people talk about solving poverty and all that stuff. But that comes second. What will we do if there is no Nepal on the world’s map when the next world war happens? If any country attacks Nepal this time, it is the most vulnerable country in terms of advanced weapons and machinery. 

Nepal won’t be able to survive the third world war. This time, it is not 1945 anymore, where Khukuri will work. Enemies will use Arial attacks. There is no chance of Nepal winning unless we are equipped with modern weapons and aerial vehicles. What if our own allies betray us? We can’t trust them. 

So, my first priority would be developing weapons in Nepal. I know Nepal has signed multiple peace treaties but at this moment, due to lack of weapons and advancements, we are being held back and taken for granted. Any country gives us warnings and we have to agree with them. This is fear. I want to eliminate that fear.
