SAMPLE 1: Can a War Ever Solve Problems?
Hello everyone!Today, I want to talk about something very important — can a war ever solve problems? I think this is a question that makes us think deeply.
War usually happens when two countries or groups cannot agree on something. Sometimes people believe fighting will bring peace, but often, it causes more pain and damage.
In a war, soldiers and ordinary people can get hurt. Families lose their homes, and children cannot go to school. Even nature and animals suffer because of destruction.
I believe there are better ways to solve problems, like talking, making agreements, and understanding each other. Peace talks and kindness can create long-lasting friendships between countries.
If I were a leader, I would always try to avoid war and choose peace. Because in the end, peace is the real solution to problems.
Thank you! ”
