Essay topics:

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? People in the past are more interested in improving their neighbourhood (the area where they live) than now.

Neighborhood, the area people live in, has been valued and triggers a heated discussion on whether people are willing to better it nowadays. Modern people, in some's view, desire to devote themselves to improving the area in the vicinity, compared with decades ago. Contrary to these people's opinion is my perspective that several issues prevent contemporary people from participating in community activities including the lack of time and capability.

It should be prioritized that contemporary people, including students and adults, distribute less time to the neighborhood, compared with those in the past. First, never should we ignore that students nowadays live a hectic school life. Not only should they spend10 hours per weekday attending classes and doing homework, but also they may attend extracurricular activities on weekends. The shortage of spare time discourages teenagers from community service. In comparison, there are less pressure in the past so students didn't need to study as hard as they do today. Therefore, little time can be allocated to the environment of the neighborhood compared with decades ago. Similarly, modern adults, overwhelmed by burdensome work or struggling for a promising and rewarding career, find it laborious to improve their vicinity. With little time allocated to improving the neighborhood, present adults are less likely to publicize the importance of improving the local environment and take part in specific community activities. However, adults were eager to enhance their neighborhood decades ago.

What should be equally emphasized is that modern people, rather than dwellers in the past, lack knowledge and money to better the region they reside in. First, in the past, most people own the expertise to change the local environment, such as planting trees and reducing pollutants in the community. These kinds of practical knowledge are neglected by modern education because people are required to learn more professional knowledge and become experts in a specific area. Contemporary people, even provided with suitable tools and equipment, are less likely to plant a tree without assistance. In the past, people were involved more in farming and most of them mastered skills to improve the environment. What's more, even with enough knowledge, modern people are less interested in improving the local environment owing to the financial cost. The price of tools or materials, used to improve the environment, can not be afforded by the inhabitants. The absence of the government's investment in the community undermines modern people's interest in their region. On the contrary, the money distributed to infrastructure was sufficient several years ago, encouraging people to be engaged in enhancing the local area.

In conclusion, people in the past were more interested in improving the local environment because they have more leisure time and they were more capable to do such things compared with contemporary people.

---------------------
Better to have 5 paragraphs with 3 arguments. And try always support/against one side but compare two sides, like this:

para 1: introduction
para 2: reason 1. address both of the views presented for reason 1
para 3: reason 2. address both of the views presented for reason 2
para 4: reason 3. address both of the views presented for reason 3
para 5: conclusion.

So how to find out those reasons. There is a formula:

reasons == advantages or

reasons == disadvantages

for example, we can always apply 'save time', 'save/make money', 'find a job', 'make friends', 'get more information' as reasons to all essay/speaking topics.

or we can apply 'waste time', 'waste money', 'no job', 'make bad friends', 'get bad information' as reasons to all essay/speaking topics.
