If travel broadens the mind? Everyone would like to be rich (Сочинения ЕГЭ английский язык)

40. Travel broadens the mind.

There are two opposite points of view on travel problem. Some people are sure that when you go to a new place, you extend your mind. Others, on the contrary, say that travel doesn`t influence people`s thinking.

In my opinion, travel can change the way you see things. Firstly, we always get something new, when we travel. We meet new people who can share with us their experience. We listen to guides and local people when they talk about their life in the country we visit. So, we are getting knowledge, which can help us in everyday life. Secondly, after travel you start to understand better yourself, because your brain got a rest.

Many people after travel find different hobbies for themselves, because their mind became free.

However, many people think that travel doesn`t broaden the mind. In their opinion, travel is usual part of life, and it`s better to stay at home, because travel abroad, for example, give them impossible dreams, and they feel regret after travel. However, I`m sure that travel is a good way to get new knowledge, experience, skills and hope for the best life. You always look for new decisions of problems and sometimes find hidden talents out.

In conclusion, I would like to say that any travel could change you, because it broadens the mind. People inspire when they get new dreams and talk with people who they never met before.

40. Everyone would like to be rich.

There are two opposite points of view on values problem. Some people are sure that everyone would like to be rich. Others, on the contrary, say that there are some people in the world who don`t want to have a lot of money.

In my opinion, not everyone would like to be rich. Firstly, all people are different and everybody has her or his own view on the world. So, different people have different values. Someone wants to be rich, of course, but many people just need to create a family, to help others people. For example, many scientists want to be useful for society, and doctors want to save people`s lives. Film directors dream about the audience who will love their films. Secondly, today in the world there are a lot of people who believe in God and follow religious principles. Money and luxury for them isn`t important. They believe that if you choose to be rich, you will get a punishment.

However, many people think that everyone dreams about money. In their opinion, everyone wants to live the best life. If you have a lot of money, you will make all your dreams come true. And people who aren`t afraid of speaking about it, are most honest than the others. Particularly, they are right, but nevertheless, I know in person some people who don`t need a lot of money, because they have more important things in their life.

In conclusion, I would like to say that nowadays probably there are more people who would like to be rich, but there are some people who wouldn`t. I know it from experience of some artists, scientists, doctors or people who follow some religious principles.
