____Go to a concert of watch it at home ____________________________________________________________
Summary
If you want to watch a concert you the choice to either go to a concert or watch it at home. They both have their advantages and disadvantages.
Firstly, concert tickets cost a lot compared to what you have to pay for if you want to watch it at home. You also have to pay for the traveling expenses , which you want have to do when you stay at home.
Secondly, watching at home is far more comfortable than traveling to the concert and queuing to get in.
If you get hungry or thirsty at home you can just go to the fridge and grab something to eat.
But on the other hand, to really have the full experience of the concert you have to be there . The excitement of thousands of people singing and waiting for their idol to come, can not be experienced at home.
So therefore I believe that it is worth to go to a concert once in a while, because it is a experience that you will never forget. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Young people choosing their career_________________________________________________________________
Summary
Many parents complain about their children because they do not seem to know what they want in their life. When they say this, it is usually because they want their children to choose a career. Choosing is a very difficult decision that affects your whole future.
Most people want a job that is both interesting and well-paid, they know that if they choose wrong they will regret this mistake their whole life , that is why they hesitate about their career
Young people also have ideals and they want a job which matches these, For example , they may avoid working for a company that harms the environment.Or they want to feel useful in the society. Jobs like these are very hard to find.
My conclusion is that young people do know what they want from life. Unfortunatly , they are afraid to make such a big decision in their life. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
