Using technology to teach students has several advantages such as creating a more engaged environment, improving collaboration, having more scope to connect with the students, etc. Technology also allows teachers to explain complicated theories and concepts to students using attractive visuals, which in turn helps students to learn and understand better. As a result, incorporating technology in the field of teaching has positive effects both on the method of teaching and the students.

One of the predominant reasons behind historic buildings being destroyed is shortage of land. As the population of the world continues to rise, more land is needed to accommodate housing for the increasing number of people. Furthermore, many historic buildings are being replaced due to urbanisation. The rapid growth in urbanisation has allowed many companies to take over historic buildings in the name of development. As a result, the value of historic buildings are gradually decreasing as people go unbothered by these changes around them.

Perhaps the most predominant cause of problematic student behavior is a troublesome home environment. Negligence, abuse, lack of affection from parents at home are some of the causes of students developing problematic behavior and expressing them at school. Furthermore, being exposed to negative experiences in life, having wrong companionship, and low mental health are also causes of problems with student behavior. Most importantly, school authorities aren’t trained enough to handle such student behavior, which in turn exacerbates the issue.

The last day when I was able to spend time with my entire family was a time when I was extremely happy. It was during the holiday last year and that was the last time I had each and every one of my siblings together at our parents’ house. Now we’re all in different parts of the world, living our lives, trying to make a living. While I do have my fair share of fun every now and then, there is nothing quite like the pure happiness of spending time with your own family.

I think that children from every generation differ from their previous generation in many ways, and this difference attracts a lot of scrutiny. I believe that the importance of moral values has declined for all people, and that includes teenagers as well. Therefore, while it is safe to say that many teenagers these days have lost regard for moral values, it isn’t true that all of them have done so. So, I do not think that the statement should be generalized for teenagers only.

The house that I live in is an apartment. It is a ten storied building that has six flats on every floor, and forty flats in total. It is located in the city, and in quite a busy street. I’ve been living here my entire life and have made many friends from this apartment. We all grew up together and have developed very good friendships over the years. This house and its people are two components that I have made some of the most beautiful memories with in my life.

The neighborhood where I live is located in the city, and in quite a busy street. There aren’t many trees around, but there is a park very close to it that sort of fulfills the need of greenery in the area. Many people from the neighborhood and especially kids flock to the park every afternoon. I myself go there a couple times a week to catch up with my friends from the area. Our neighborhood is quite safe, with rarely any sort of crime happening here. I have lived here my entire life and truly believe that this is a great place to grow up and live in.

I believe that the government should undoubtedly spend money on building hospitals as opposed to spending money on space research. I believe that space research has a lot of opportunities for human civilization. However, for a developing country like ours, it is a luxury. Our country is in dire need of better health care systems; one of the main steps to get that done is building good hospitals. While the government has every right to spend money on space research, it has no right to do so at the expense of the health of its citizens.

I use public transport to travel. So that means I have to get up early to catch the bus. I prefer using an AC bus as the route to my work is quite long and the hot weather becomes quite intolerable. It doesn’t accommodate more passengers than it’s supposed to, which is quite rare for most public buses in the country. And since I have the privilege to afford a fairly developed public transport, I choose to use this bus for my own safety.

My favorite dish is pizza. Its main component is a flat soft bread which can be thin or thick depending on choice. The bread is then covered by a sauce, predominantly ketchup, followed by ingredients such as chicken, beef, bell peppers, olives and many others depending on the choice. One of the most important components of the pizza is cheese which goes on top of it at last. The bread is then baked at very high heat in an oven and becomes ready to eat in 15-20 mins.
