Some people say that music is a good way of bringing people of different cultures and ages together. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?

It is often said that music has the power to unite and connect people, regardless of their cultural backgrounds or ages. I completely agree with this view, and will give my reasons below.

Music can certainly reach across cultural and national boundaries and bring people together. Perhaps the best example of this would be the Live Aid concerts that took place back in the 1980s, and which were broadcast to a global audience. Two live events were held simultaneously in the UK and the US, and the objective was to raise funds for famine relief in Ethiopia. The concerts were a huge success, both in terms of the number of people around the world who watched them and their impact on international public awareness of the famine. They demonstrated, I believe, that music truly is the planet’s global language.

Just as it transcends cultures, music also has the ability to connect people from different generations. Regardless of age, we can all enjoy a memorable melody, a strong rhythm or a beautiful singing voice, and the best songs seem to have the same magical effect on all of us. This would explain why televised music competitions, such as ‘The X Factor’ or ‘The Voice’, are such popular prime-time shows. These programmes attract incredibly broad audiences because singing and popular songs appeal to children, parents and grandparents alike. I would argue that no other form of entertainment can bring families together in this way.

In conclusion, I believe that music is unique in its capacity to create shared experiences between people, irrespective of culture and age.

Many university graduates cannot find a job in their chosen profession. What factors may have caused this situation and what, in your opinion, should be done about it?

When young people are choosing what subject to study at university, most of them hope they will find a great job upon graduation. In reality fresh graduates fail to find work in their field and some are even forced to take up below graduate level jobs. In my opinion, the root of this problem lies in the outdated higher education system that should be modernised.

Traditional university education does not prepare students for their first job for a number of reasons. One of them is that many programmes are too theoretical. It means that highly educated graduates lack simple skills required for employment, for example, the knowledge of IT software. Employers, therefore, prefer candidates with hands-on experience. Another reason is that universities offer the many enough students for engineering and science programmes. As a result, the UK labour market has an oversupply of law graduates and deficit of engineers.

A reform of higher education could alleviate many of the problems, but would require joint efforts from universities and the government. If universities worked closely with employers, they could teach students practical skills that companies look for. Meanwhile, the government could develop guidelines on how many students' universities should recruit in each subject in accordance with market demand.

In conclusion, a likely reason why many graduates cannot find a job in their field because university education might not have provided them with the right skill set or in-demand profession. I think that universities and the government could improve the situation by updating the number of students in each subject in line with the market demand.
