TASK 5: Possible essay topics

-
Here are some topics that I’d choose to write an essay. All of them are interesting for me and now I’m going to tell why.

1. Do students in schools that eliminate grades do better in college and their careers?
There are many discussions about how grades affect out mind. Personally, I’m really curious about how my perception of studying would change if there were no grades. I would be glad to make a research on this topic.

2. Which methods are most effective at reducing bullying in schools?
Bullying is a great problem of our society. Some people are sure that it is a teenage problem, but I do not agree. We meet it everywhere: at school, at work, in social networks. There are always people who bully for no reason. You can be slim or plump, clever or silly, strong or weak, but you can never be sure that you wouldn’t be bullied. 

3. Should governments be able to censor certain information on the internet?
Censorship is another major problem of modern world. There is a tendency that government is trying to control the mass media, because they want the people to get only ‘right’ information. It became harder with a worldwide usage of Internet, but they are still trying to ban some ‘inconvenient’ websites. I’d like to discuss why it’s all wrong. 

4. Do smartphones increase or decrease workplace productivity?
This is a very controversial question, that’s why it’s fascinating for me. Smartphones can either help or distract us. The only thing that is obvious that it’s impossible to imagine a nowadays workplace without them.

   Do smartphones increase or decrease our productivity? Can you picture the world without smartphones? People go into panic mode if he or she were to leave the house without these technological devices. Some people describe leaving their smartphones at home as "feeling naked."

Learning English is a great pleasure for me. I’ve learned it since primary school and it’s never been easy for me. Anyway, I enjoy learning the language and I try to improve it every day. Now, as my level is good enough and I’m able to speak almost fluently, my main goal is to expand my vocabulary. I don’t like the idea of writing down some words and further memorization.
