1.  It is better to make mistakes when learning a new skill, so you can learn from the errors. Do you agree or disagree with the statement? Write specific reason and examples to support your answer.

= I agree, here's why:

a) Mistakes act as stepping stones. When you make a mistake, you identify what's wrong and how to avoid it in the future. Trying different things and learning from mistakes is very important for getting good at something. 

b) Mistakes can help people be creative. When something doesn't work, they try new ideas to fix it. This often happens in science, where surprising results can lead to big discoveries.

c) Solving problems and fixing mistakes helps you feel more confident. When you figure out how to improve, you see that you can learn and get better. This confidence makes you want to keep practicing and getting better at the skill.

Example: Kids learning to walk but they fall a lot, but each time they fall, they learn how to keep their balance better.

2. Good friends should have varied interests and personalities, instead of having similar tastes. Do you agree or disagree with the statement? Write specific reason and examples to support your answer.

= I agree, here's why:

Having friends with varied interests and personalities can be beneficial for these reasons:

1. Friends with different interests can introduce you to new hobbies and perspectives. 

2. Friends with different strengths can support each other. If you're good at organizing, a creative friend might bring fresh ideas to projects, and vice versa.

3. Working through differences can strengthen friendships. Respectfully discussing hobbies and viewpoints can build empathy and understanding, helping you find common ground and appreciate different perspectives.

Example: Social Butterfly + Homebody Balance: A social friend can drag you to fun events, while you can teach them the art of cozy nights in. This balance keeps life interesting and helps you each appreciate different social styles.

3. Colleges and Universities have the responsibility to give their students options for clubs and activities outside of classes. Do you agree or disagree with the statement? Write specific reason and examples to support your answer.

= I agree, here's why:

a) College isn't just about classes. Clubs and activities help students build social skills, leadership abilities, and explore their interests. These experiences complement academic learning and prepare students for life after college.

b) With many clubs available, students can find where they belong. Feeling connected and part of a community is crucial for student happiness and success.

c) Clubs often teach practical skills that are useful beyond the classroom. Joining a business club can help students network and prepare for careers, while working on a student newspaper improves writing and communication skills. These activities let students explore potential careers and develop skills employers value.

Example: Stress relief and fun: College can be tough, Clubs can be a great way to relax, have fun, and take a break from all that studying. Imagine being stressed from exams, then joining a dance club where you can let loose and move your body. It's a healthy way to de-stress and improve your mood.
