Question-This is not my homework
When it says ‘should school start later’, is it datewise or timewise, like instead of starting in January, It should start in March, or 10:30 instead of 8:30?
Which interview Questions should we do, or do we choose?
it’s time wise. E.g. not eight o’clock start but nine thirty.
Should school start late?
3. School. This is a vital part of life that shapes your future. Over the years, the school has evolved dramatically, from small wooden buildings to massive marble structures. However, school tends to start from around 8:30am to 3pm. But is the starting time too early, or the finish time too late? Well, today I will prove to you why school should start later, and how it can significantly benefit children’s lives.
To begin with, it is important to recognize that students, being in their growing years, require good amounts of rest and sleep to support their growth and overall health. A study conducted by the Department of Health at the University of Queensland indicates that children need at least 10 hours of sleep per day. However, many students are not achieving this criterion, which heavily affects their development and well-being. For instance, a friend of mine experienced a growth increase of 6 centimeters during the holidays, attributed to sufficient sleep. By changing school start times to 9:30 or 10:00 am, schools can ensure that their students get the rest they need to grow, stay healthy, and thrive.
Furthermore, students who do not get sufficient sleep often feel tired during school hours. This is a significant concern because fatigue can have a negative impact on their learning and negatively impact their performance on assessments. Picture this, you are an exhausted student facing a test early in the morning after a bad night. Drained with energy, thinking clearly becomes a challenge, leading to a decline in academic performance. Many of my peers have shared similar experiences, and are not very happy about the situation. Changing when school starts could greatly benefit children, as they would feel less tired and thereby be able to perform at their full potential during tests.
Last but not least, a later school start time can benefit both children and their parents. Parents working night shifts often struggle to wake up early, and a later start could allow them more sleep, boosting their energy and productivity. For instance, my mother’s earlier bedtime, since I started to do my homework by myself, led to her receiving a pay raise, due to her newfound energy. This clearly shows that a later start to school can benefit everyone.
In conclusion, I strongly believe school should be later, as it causes students to become more healthy, makes sure they aren’t tired in class and can not only give students more rest but parents too. Therefore, I believe school should start later.

Question-not my homework, how many interview questions of each section do we ppractice
1. Should Rich Countries Be Required to Help Poorer Nations?
I strongly believe that rich countries should be required to help poorer nations, the disparity between them comes from historical events, economical imbalances and inequalities that are beyond the poorer nations control. Rich countries have benefited from poorer countries through manipulation and exploitation of recourses, land and work. This has led to poorer countries being war-ravaged, helpless, in devastating poverty, increased illnesses and diseases, undeveloped infrastructure, inadequate facilities; All this breeds bloodthirsty dictators and merciless tyrants who add to the depression and deaths of innocent people. As a result of all this, rich countries have an obligation to correct the imbalances.
Economic stability is better for children, mothers, students and the whole community. Otherwise, this will lead to no food, no education and creates a cycle of poverty. Wealthier nations have the privilege of many resources, technology and more knowledge to make a strong impact on reducing the amount of poverty. By providing money and aid, rich countries can help poorer countries by building better infrastructure, better access to education, cleaner water and other essential services which can bolster and dramatically improve their way of life and reduce the amounts of deaths and suffering.
If poorer countries are helped the world will become a better place. Global issues like pandemics, economic instability and climate change will improve and benefit everyone. In addition to this, providing aid will improve and strengthen the relationship between countries which will promote peace throughout the world which benefits everyone including the rich.
In conclusion, rich countries should be required to help poorer nations because it is a moral, pragmatic and strategic responsibility. By assisting poorer nations develop, wealthier nations will improve the whole world.
2. Are smartphones making us dumber?
Yes, there is no doubt that smartphones are making us dumber. They significantly reduce our cognitive capacity to learn, weaken our ability to absorb and process information and knowledge. With all their hazardous distractions like constant notifications and apps that keep us hooked, smartphones promote brain rot, dwindling focus and an erosion of connections. Smartphones make people overly anxious, stressed and one-sided fuelling addiction, procrastination and loss of natural creativity. Phones have GPS that tells us where to go, they have reminders and notifications to keep track of tasks for us and they have the internet to answer all our questions at any moment
One of the most glaring consequences is the devasting impact on memory, especially on teenagers. Instead of holding information in our their minds, they rely on smartphones to remember things for them more and more.. All this independence leads to a rapid decay in memory function and our thinking – teenagers no longer believe they need to store information in their heads. Leading to them becoming over-reliant.
The constant use of smart phones makes students anxious online – I felt anxious just playing a multi-player game because a couple of players supposedly on my side suddenly turned against me, switching to the other team. I had no way to discuss about why that happened, increasing anxiety.
Smartphones have most certainly taken over our minds permitting control over workers and adults, creating problematic and minacious issues in the workplace. Workers trying to multi-task and rely on smart phones leads to fragmented attention making it harder to concentrate, focus and problem solve. Regardless it being children, teenagers, parents or even teachers the outcome is the same, they become chained; they become addicted leading to lower attention spans and poor mental health.
Endless entertainment options such as social media, videos, games add to intellectual laziness. All these distractions to very little to challenge our thinking and stimulate critical thinking. It is the complete opposite; they spawn a culture of self-indulgence and instant gratification where people expect fast rewards with little effort.
Smartphones has lead to a society that is less knowledge-able, over reliant and less capable of critical thinking. Smartphones are making us dumber by trapping us into a convenience instead of promotive cognitive growth.
3. Should school start later?
I firmly believe that, yes-schools should start later, particularly for teenagers. Adolescence sleeps cycles are quite different from younger children and adults because it is harder for them to fall asleep earlier at night. When schools start early in the morning, students are tired and lack sleep. This impacts their academic performance, their mood and their entire health. Starting school later allows students to get the recommended nine hours of sleep, leading to increased energy, better focus, enhanced cognitive function and memory retention. Sleep is essential for learning and maintaining emotional steadiness. Without enough rest, students are more likely to struggle with attention and struggle with behavioural issues.
Lack of sleep is directly linked to mental health issues such as stress, anxiety and depression among teens. Sleep plays a critical role in the mental and emotional well-being of teenagers and depriving them only increases emotional disparity. By starting school later, we can reduce some of the mental strain and pressure that students experience. Adding to this, schools with later start times means teenagers will have better attendance, better grades, better behaviour and would be less lazy. Students are more likely to arrive at school on time and feel ready to learn, creating a more efficient and productive learning experience.
In conclusion, starting school later will lead to better academic results, improved mental health and overall well-being. It’s an exceptionally simple change that will have a long-lasting positive impact on students and the community.
