Would you like to turn vegetarian?

I wouldn't like to turn vegetarian, because I enjoy eating meat and I don't think I could stop eating it forever. Being vegetarian has many advantages for our health and environment. The most obvious one is not killing animals, but here are also many more of them like reducing the risk of cancer, type 2 diabetes, avoiding high blood pressure and weight loss. Not eating meat is also pretty fashionable nowadays that's why so many people have recently turned vegetarian and I absolutely respect their decision, although it wouldn't work well for me and I wouldn't like to try this diet.

What does it mean to be a real man?

There isn't any recipe for being a real man, because every man is real in their own way. There are so many people in this world and they can be very different. If a man likes dancing instead of playing football like most of his friends or enjoys doing make-up, it doesn't make him any less of a man. You can't say that a man is only a man when he likes doing certain things and dresses in a certain way. It's impossible to say what it means to be a real man, there are too many of them to just choose one and call him the only real one.

Does school prepare us for life?

School prepares us for some things in life, but not for all of them. It tries to tell us that if we get good grades and follow the rules we will later succeed in adult life. Unfortunately it isn't always true. Grades usually don't reflect our skills, talents or knowledge, so in reality people who get average grades can be more successful than the ones who are teachers' favourites. However, school can teach us some of the important things like being punctual and having to cope with stress. It shows us that life can be hard and that we have to work hard to achieve our goals. School tries to prepare us for life, but there are still a lot of things that we have to learn on our own.

Is £600 for a night at the Mandarin Oriental a good value of money?

Mandarin Oriental is a luxurious hotel located in London and we all know that prices in this city are quite high, however, I think  £600 is too much money to pay for a night. Obviously everything there is top notch. They have the perfectly cleaned rooms, excellent food and staff that does anything you ask for, so it has to be expensive, but as we see in the video, many things like ironing aren't even included in the price. People who decide to stay in this hotel are probably so rich that they don't really care if they spend a lot of money, but if you aren't a  millionaire it will be hard to pay for at least a night there. Even if it's one of the best hotels in England it's not worth  £600 for the cheapest room.

Is it possible that we will stop being a throwaway society?

Nowadays, when we can just go to one of the many shops we have around us and buy whatever we need, we take most of those things for granted. It's hard to appreciate food, plastic bags or clothes when we have so much of them. As a result of that, we stop thinking about what damage they can do to our planet, so after we get bored of something, we simply throw it away. We get used to this way of living and it only gets harder to make any changes. I don't think that we will stop being a throwaway society any time soon. Maybe when we see some serious damage caused by our behavior something will change, but now we feel comfortable living like that.

Why do so many people believe in supernatural things?

I think that the majority of people who believe in supernatural things, believe in them, because it helps find explanations to some things they can't understand. Even if the answers they get aren't real, it usually makes life easier. People find it frustrating when they are unable to explain something they see, so they use supernatural things to solve their problems.
