7. Some people believe that good leaders are born, whereas others hold the opinion that leadership qualities could be obtained during life. How does one obtain good leadership qualities?Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.
It is often stated that some people are “natural-born leaders”. However, many people assume that a good leader may achieve leadership skills due to social interaction. Personally, I am convinced that a leader means the ability to understand the needs of the public. Hence, leadership qualities are achieved throughout one's lifetime.
On the one hand, leadership qualities may be triggered when there is a crisis which demands individuals to step forward and take responsibility. These characteristics occur in response to obstacles. For example, an entrepreneur is often faced with difficult choices. In order to have their business succeed, they must have sound decision making skills Hence, it is at this time their leadership abilities are practiced and improved. Furthermore, it is believed that a leader should respect others through teamwork and cooperation. It means  they should manage and embrace people from various backgrounds. At the same time, the leader should treat others equally regardless of their background and social status. Consequently, if a leader can always be fair to others, they will be known as a real leader.
On the other hand, some people are born with leadership qualities as per many people’s opinion. But I believe that leadership is a quality which is related to someone’s personality, social influence, motivation and ambition. It is not unusual that we have so many great leaders in history who stepped forward to help others. Leadership is a quality that can learned by example.
In conclusion, I strongly believe leadership skills are possible in any human being. Even though it takes time and effort, with hard-work, patience and motivation, anyone can become a leader. 7

9. Do you agree or disagree with the following statement:
The most important characteristic of a leader are good communication skills.
A leader can be described as a person who has a social influence. While I certainly agree communication skills are the foundation of a respectable leader, I personally believe there are many characteristics that are necessary as well.
On the one hand, having excellent communication abilities in general is critical to success nowadays. For example, modern day entrepreneurs have the responsibility of informing, persuading and motivating others. Communication skills clearly play an important role in leadership. That is why people with such skills avoid language barriers and misunderstandings in discussions, conversations and meetings. Moreover, expressing ideas clearly is important for every leader because this ability can help win support for a proposal. For instance, entrepreneurs around the world require funding for their start-ups. Without being able to "convince" investors, they will be unable to continue with their project. Hence, communication  skills are critical to a successful future and making dreams come true.
On the other hand, I would argue there are many people who are good at communication and even rhetoric, but only some of them are leaders. First of all, one can be a leader if one is optimistic and intelligent. Hence, the foundation of leading others lies in  optimism and perseverance. On the way to their success, leaders will often come across obstacles, and require an optimistic attitude to find ways to overcome such difficulties. As a result, their optimism inspires others, which is where success lies.
In addition, intelligence is also important for leaders. Without intelligence, leaders could not find the keys to solve complicated problems. To illustrate, in order to speed up economic growth, it is not enough for the eloquent President Obama to deliver good speeches. It also requires President Obama's intelligence to tackle the fiscal cliff issue and other methods to reduce unemployment.
In conclusion, it seems there are some characteristics that are equally important as communication skills in order to become a leader. Overall, whether in business or entrepreneurship, experience has proven it is difficult for a person to become a leader without optimism and intelligence as well. 9

12. Even though I recently watched “Titanic” again, I first saw the movie when it came out in In my opinion,“Titanic” is the best movie of this generation Seeing it again after so many years brought back some wonderful memories.
First of all, this movie is an absolute masterpiece. It is based on the true story of the actual sinking of the Titanic ship, which ultimately carried over 1,500 people to their death in the ice cold waters of the North Atlantic ocean in the early hours of April 15, Without a doubt, Titanic is simply a glorious film. With incredible production values, first class acting, dynamic special effects, breathtaking cinematography, wonderful storyline, outstanding music, everything about the film is just perfect. I can't find one fault in it.
Second, the way it depicts the human struggles of the characters, the arrogance of the ship's owners and passengers, the sheer proportions of the sinking, it is nothing short of brilliant.
Finally, I was so completely captivated by the movie that when it finished it was like being thrown back into the real world. I literally forgot about reality for three hours and fifteen minutes. You're completely involved with the characters and their struggles from beginning to end, it's incredible. You immediately get the feeling that you are in the movie-- and when the ship sinks, you feel as if you are right there on board with them.
One of the best movies ever made, period. I'd give the film a very solid 10 out of 10.
Overall, I would definitely recommend Titanic as it will definitely continue to impress future generations for all time. 12
