TOPIC 1: Many famous places in the world, talk about the place you would like to visit
There are many famous places in the world but I'd like to visit Canada. I've dreaming to visit there for more than 2 years . Canada has a lot of picturesque landscape and it also has a varied culture. Canada boasts that it's one of the most beautiful contries in the world. For example, Vancouver located right on the ocean and there are enormous snow-tipped moutains surrounding the entire city. There is a multitude of beautiful park to walk through and very nice beaches. Besides, all across the country there are small picturesque towns located on mountains and valleys. In general, Canada is an incredibly clean country, which also helps its beauty. Another reason I want to go there is to attend one of the universities there for my bachelor's degree. I think that would be an excellent idea to go seeing the school and perhaps even meet some of the professors that teach the course I'm interested in. It would be benefical for me to meet other students.

I’d like to start by saying that I don’t believe schools spend enough money on any of these things. The reason I say that is that very few students in our school play musical instruments, and not many do sport either, except PE, which is a lesson. Not only that, we hardly ever go on school trips, perhaps just once a year. Now, let’s move on to the question of which of the three schools should spend the most money on. If I have to choose just one, I’d say that we should spend the most on music. I’ll tell you why I think that. First, there are lots of opportunities for students to do sport outside school. In my town, for example, there’s a sports centre where we can swim, go to the gym, play squash, basketball, football and so on. Second, students often go on trips and holidays with their parents. So there’s no need for the school to spend money on school trips. Finally, and most importantly, very few people have musical instruments at home, and not many parents play musical instruments themselves. So without encouragement and help from the school, most students will miss out on music.
To sum up, I believe that schools should spend money on all these things, but music is the most important.
