Opinion, Agree/disagree essay

Large shopping malls are replacing small shops. What is your opinion
about this? Discuss with appropriate examples.

Two sided argument

One of the most conspicuous (noticeable, eye-catching) trends of today’s world


is a colossal upsurge (massive rise) in the mall culture, as shopping malls have
evolved into multi-storied structures housing a large number of stores that sell
diverse products and services. There is a widespread worry that this will only
lead to a myriad of problems in consumers’ life. In my opinion, this apprehension
(fear) is unwarranted (unnecessary) and so should be rejected.

There are a number of arguments in favour of my stance. The most


preponderant (important) one is that shopping malls house a collection of retail
stores and restaurants along with a plenty of parking space. Not only do
shopping malls eliminate parking problem by providing parking either free of
charge or for a nominal fee, but they also contribute a great deal to making
shopping convenient with such stores as groceries, shoes, food courts and the
like under one roof. Needless to say, all these merits stand consumers in good
stead, as far as eliminating shopping hassle is concerned.

There are, however, some pitfalls (drawbacks) that can easily overwhelm
(overcome, beat) the potential benefits of shopping malls. Primarily, they include
excessive crowding, especially on weekends and holidays. Besides, crowded
aisles (passageways) and stores make shopping very difficult and people often
end up forgetting items they needed to buy. Last but not least, the temptation to
browse is always present, and browsing often leads to buying things that are not
needed, thus making it difficult to keep to a monthly budget. Hence, it is apparent
(understood) why many are against these shopping malls.

In view of the arguments outlined above, one can conclude that despite some
drawbacks, the benefits of big shopping complexes are indeed too great to
ignore.
One sided argument

One of the most conspicuous trends of today's world is that large shopping malls
should replace the small shops in the market. There is a widespread worry that
this will only lead to a myriad of problems among buyers and sellers. In my
opinion, this apprehension is warranted and merits serious consideration.

There are a number of arguments in favour of my stance. The most preponderant


one is that it is easy to approach a small shop for shopping. Not only these shops
reduce wastage of time for shopping, but they also help in earning for a number
of sole traders, which is not possible in large shopping centers. Needless to say,
all these merits stand small shops in good stead, as far as wastage of time and
employment of people is concerned.

Another pivotal (crucial, central) aspect of this argument is that small shops are
cost effective. Besides, due to very small expenses on the sale of products, it
ultimately reduces the product price. Hence, it is apparent why many are in
favour of the small shops.

In view of the arguments outlined above, one can conclude that the benefits of
small shops are indeed too great to ignore.
Positive/negative, advantage/disadvantage essay

Learning a new language at an early age is helpful for children. Is it more


positive for their future aspect or have some adverse effects. Discuss both
sides and give your opinion.

These days, it has become a growing trend to see parents teaching their
children a second language at an early age. As such, there are both merits and
demerits to this trend, although I am of the opinion that the former outdo
(surpass, do better than) the latter.

There are a myriad of arguments in favour of my stance. The most conspicuous


one is that when it comes to picking up a language, a child is quick, adept
(skillful), competent and what not, thanks to an extraordinary capability their
brains possess. Not only do children grasp the vocabulary, pronunciation, accent
and other aspects of the language more spontaneously, but they also use it
widely worrying little about making any mistake unlike their older
counterparts, who rather feel shy to practice it in the fear of making mistakes and
feeling embarrassed. Needless to say, all these merits stand a child in good
stead , as far as having a strong command of a second language is concerned.

However, there are some pitfalls that can easily overwhelm the potential benefits
of learning second languages in childhood. The primary one is that pushing
children to learn more than one language in such a tender age can contribute to
slowing down their overall learning process. Besides, their social and
communication skills can suffer so can other relevant skills. Hence, it is apparent
why many are against a child’s exposure to more than one language in early
childhood.

In view of the arguments outlined above, one can conclude that despite some
drawbacks, the benefits of learning a second language by children in early
childhood are indeed too great to ignore.
