TOPIC
Today, some customers ask delivery companies to put packages by their doors instead of receiving them directly.
Do you think this kind of service will become more common in the future?
POINTS
●Convenience
●Damage
●Security
I think this kind of service will become more common in the future.
First, customers can receive packages without being restricted by time and location.
They do not have to be at home or worry about what time their packages arrive.
Second, this kind of service can reduce the amount of delivery companies’ work.
Drivers do not need to visit customers again if they are not at home at the time of delivery.
Therefore, I think delivery services that do not require customers and drivers to meet will become more common in the future.

TOPIC Should companies be required to produce goods that are easy to recycle?
POINTS
●Company profits
●Customer demand
●Pollution
●Product quality
Companies should be required to produce goods that are easy to recycle.
This opinion is based on the following reasons: customer demand and pollution.
First, goods that are simple to recycle significantly reduce pollution.
They not only lower the carbon footprint of factories but also lead to fewer products thrown away in landfills, where they often release harmful gases.
Therefore, producing such goods is a key part of companies’ environmental responsibility.
Second, customer demand for sustainable products has been growing rapidly.
Consumers are increasingly aware of the impact of their purchasing decisions, and many are actively seeking out eco-friendly products.
If companies do not produce goods that are easily recyclable, they will fail to fulfill the needs of this growing market of environmentally conscious consumers.
In conclusion, producing goods that can be easily recycled should be required for companies, as this helps meet new consumer demands and protect the environment.

TOPIC Do social welfare programs help reduce inequality in society?
Social welfare programs are an effective way to address social inequality, as they are a lifeline for many marginalized groups.
Such programs tackle poverty, make health care available to all, and also offer indispensable support for immigrants and foreign residents.
Social welfare programs do much to alleviate wealth inequality, as they enable those who lack financial means to pursue higher education or attain special qualifications. Programs providing job training, for instance, help equip the underprivileged with the skills necessary for more-lucrative careers.
Such opportunities are a key step toward breaking the cycle of poverty.
Additionally, welfare programs broaden access to medical aid.
The lack of affordable health care in some countries is often an insurmountable hurdle for those in poor financial situations.
Welfare systems that subsidize medical treatment, though, can ensure that medical issues do not restrict social opportunities for people.
Moreover, immigrant and foreign resident populations in many countries rely on social welfare programs.
People arriving in a new country often face difficulties integrating into society, which can lead to them experiencing unfair treatment.
Language support and outreach programs, however, help such people better assimilate and avoid discrimination.
In these ways, social welfare programs indisputably reduce inequality in society.
From closing the wealth gap to improving access to medical care and providing crucial support for foreign residents, they are invaluable for creating a more egalitarian society.
