Students at HCT do not have to pay for their education.
First of all, paying for education makes the students take their studies more seriously because if they fail, they know that they lost their paid money for the semester. Second, the colleges will be more organized and have more facilities for students, Lastly, colleges will have a larger class schedule including evening calsses, if student didn't understood the morning period class they wait for the evening class and there are no forced electives.
The main reason why i disagree with the statement is that free education colleges motivate student to study for a degree, because some don't have money to go to college. Also, free education is more fair being not dependent on families wealth to study. The last point is that free education colleges have a better mix of students from different families and areas.
All in all, ibelieve free education colleges has a fairer way to equalize between the wealthy people and poor people and mix them together in one class room.

Describing Trends
Many people Immigrate because of the situation in their country and they would abandon their country for the sake of their family. This graph shows the number of immigrants to the UK from 1940 to 1980, from the West Indies and Pakistan and India.
For the first 10 years there was a rise of immigrants from West Indies and India and Pakistan. There was a rough increase from the West Indies for the next 5 years and India and Pakistan. From the years 1960 to 1965 the West Indies peaked at 35 thousand people, whereas, the Indian and Pakistani immigration rose to 30 thousand. In the year 1970 there is dip to 10 thousand from the West Indies and slight increase at five years afterwards and a drop to 5 thousand in the year 1980. Where the Indian & Pakistani fluctuated from the year 1965 to 1980 and stabilized at 30 thousand people per year.
In conclusion, the number of Immigrants to the UK has roughly increased the last 50 years. However, the drop now seems to have stabilized from both the West Indies and Pakistan and India.
Examination for and against.
Examinations are being used in every school in the world. Exams are a way to test students brains whether they are eligible to go on to a higher grade. Some HCT students say examinations are unfair way of assessment and should not be used at HCT. However, there are both positive and negative sides of examinations. I’m going to discuss both sides of the argument whether to ban examinations or not.
I’ll deal first with the positive side of why examinations should be banned. First, if exams are banned it will save a lot of time for some students. It even will make students spend more time with their family.
A further point is that students should be assessed by their homework and projects to be equally fair.
I would also argue that teachers can do better assessments and understand more of their own students, it depends on their technique and skills on how they are getting along with the students and they should have the right to choose whether the students passes or not.
Although, there is positive side of the argument, there is also a negative side. First exams should be used in every school; exams are undoubtly the way to motivate students mind. For example, when there are exams, the human brain always tries to memorize the knowledge that the students gain from studying which makes the brain stronger.
There are strong arguments both for and against exams but, In my opinion, I think education wouldn’t be so important without the tests and also a lot of people will be less knowledge.

Argument Essay 2
People have several arguments against the need for degrees. they say that having so many graduates devalues a degree. People lose respect for the degree holder. It is also claimed that education has become a rat race. Graduates have to compete for jobs even after years of studying. A last point is that studying for such a long time leads to learners becoming inflexible. they know a lot about one narrow subject, but are unable to apply their skills.
However, i feel strongly that this move towards having more qualifications is a positive developments. Accessibility is one major point. In the past education was only for the rich and powerful, but now it is available to everyone, and this will have many advantages for the country and the individual. Second of all, people with degrees have amny more opportunities. They can take a wider variety of jobs and do what they enjoy doing instead of being forced to take a job they dislike. Finally, a highly quilfied workforce is good for the economy of the country. It attracts foreign investment.
In conclusion, although there are undoubtedly some problems with increased levels of education, I would asser that the country can only progress if all its people are well educated.
Argument Essay
First, let's look at the arguments. One very positive point is that many medical treatments and procedures have been developed from such experiments. Since animals share many features with humans, scientist use animals to test safety and effectiveness of newly developed drugs. Moreover, there is a large supply of animals. Some, such as mice and rats have many babies, and there is no danger of extinction for these species. Finally, some advocates think that animals are less valuable than people. If there is a mistake, it will not cost a human life.
However, there are also a number of arguments against animal testing. Perhaps the most important point is that animals maybe suffering unnecessarily. Critics do not believe that every new drug needs to be tested on animals. Furthermore, some feel animal testing is ineffective; theypoint out that many drugs still have to be withdrawn from the market despite extensive testing. Last, some compaigners would like to see alternatives used. they feel more humane testing is possible and, too, that we could rely more on organ donors.
To conclude, we need to ensure that animals used for experimental purposes do not suffer much painn. Althought some animal testing maybe unavoidable at present, treating our fellow creatures mercifully will demonstrate our humanity.
