Decisions can be made quickly, or they can be made after careful thought. Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? The decisions that people make quickly are always wrong. Use reasons and specific examples to support your opinion. No man can find out what future holds for him. Life of a person depends on the decision he takes at every stages of his life. According to me decisions can be made quickly or can be made after a careful thought depending on the circumstance. It is not necessary that quick decisions are always wrong. Decisions taken at every stages of life like studies can be made after careful thought. For taking such decisions many factors like financial situation, kind of interest one has and the type of career one likes to take has to be considered. There are decisions which need to be consulted with others, like choosing a life partner. These decisions must be after careful thought. As theses situations usually gives us enough time to think or consult with others before finalizing. There are situations which need a quick decision. These situations can be either of less importance or there is no time for any discussions. Decisions like whether we are going to buy or sell any item can be made quickly unless it does not disturbs our income. Any decision taken during war or medical emergency has to be done quickly. Even if quick decision may go wrong causing lives of many but remaining without any solution would have also caused more damage. Taking decisions can be quick or after a careful thought. Based on the importance of the situation the decision can be made. But I prefer a quick decision as the saying goes ‘Something is better than Nothing’. thanks in advance.

thanks for ur time awhig..,

Some people prefer to work for a large company. Others prefer to wok for a small company. Which do you prefer? Use specific reasons and details to support your choice. Most people prefer to work in a company than taking any risk of starting their own business. Few people go for large company while few prefer small company. Irrespective of the place working both the options gives a good work experience. Small companies may be preferred by fresh graduates because of simple recruiting procedures. A person without adequate experience can easily gain entry into small companies. Small companies may not be able to provide compensation packages expected by a person with good experience in his field of work. Small companies are advantageous in the aspects like providing a good improvement individual performance. It can give a good learning opportunity. Any new innovations can be easily implemented because contacting higher officials will be easier. It is good to prefer large companies because in small companies any experience gained will be sometimes restricted to particular field. Permanent jobs cannot be guaranteed in small companies. Due to these disadvantages I prefer to seek job in large companies. Getting job in large companies has become easier with the major companies going in for campus recruitment where students are guaranteed jobs even before their graduation. Apart from good compensation and salary packages, large companies can provide challenging job in various fields and opportunity to switch over different projects. Main disadvantage which people think of while seeking job in large companies is large companies are known to give importance to team performance than individuals. But it gives opportunity to work and interact with a large group of people who are equally talented in their field of work. Thus I prefer seeking job in large companies as it gives us enough opportunities to improve our knowledge. Large companies encourage team performance which helps us to complete any work more quickly and efficiently saving more time and energy. thanks in advance

congrats!!!! :tup: [clap]

Many people enjoy participating in sports for recreation others enjoy participating in the arts. Give the benefits of each, take a position and defend it. My essay: Recreation is necessary for people to relax from their routine work. Some enjoy doing artistic works like painting and sculpting while others engage themselves in activities like sports. The type of recreation people select depends on their interest and their nature of their normal work. The artistic recreation works brings out the creativity within a person. People try to portray things that they dream of. When children are given time to paint some pictures they usually come with pictures of a Sun between the mountains, birds or a cartoon of someone whom they like most. This sometimes shows that they want to go out, enjoy nature instead of their daily lessons. These pictures sometimes help us in judging the child’s interest. These artistic recreations thus bring out the creativity and help us to judge a person’s interest. The other form of recreation like sports improves our physical strength. For a person involved in clerical work where there is seldom any movement this kind of recreation is absolutely necessary. Apart from improving physical strength team sports improve one’s ability to work together in groups and compete with others to achieve the result of winning the game. Thus it motivates the people involved .Outdoor sports gives complete refreshment. Recreational activities like arts completely lack these qualities. Hence I consider sports to be better form of recreation because it not only gives a relaxation but also improves qualities necessary for our life. thanks in advance
