1. Means Of Communication

OR

Communication has changed significantly in the last 10 years. Discuss pros and
cons impacts.

Means of communication has changed remarkably over ten years , in your response what can
be the positive and negative effects .

The means of communication in today’s world has played a major role in providing up top
date knowledge . however some persons always try to bring negativity in everything ,.m I will
discuss both positive as well as negative impacts of communication

To begin with , society has changed a lot from postman delivering letters to instant delivering
of mails through internet known as emails . similarly availability of newspaper contents online
reduces the time significantly. Television has also played major role in transmitting latest news
and instant reaction of people about the particular event . face book and what book are
remarkable means of sharing information , which even shows signs of information delivered .

On the flip side people with negative mind set some tiles make severe impact on emotions
using the some advanced mode of communication . paid news and excess of watching
televisions make a dent in society reputation . children can get access to the behavior not
suitable for them as the content of internet cannot be filtered in the true sense .

To put it in nutshell , although there is abundance evidence that mass communication has
negative effects , also still we are much dependent on these advanced means of
communication

OR

15 years into the new millennium and the world is connected like never before. Better
connectivity and increased communication is due to technological advances. This had a great
impact on the lives of people, especially on the world of business.

Increasingly, companies are adopting new methods of communication such as video


conference. It works over the internet where clients or executives from all over the world can
video chat with each other on computer or smart phones. This is cost effective, saves time
spent on travel and speeds up the processes. It is proved productive, as meetings are short
and effective with rich collaboration from employees and decisions are made faster.

Consequently, this connectivity increased work pressure on employees as they are expected
to be a part of the video conferencing as they are reachable. As this mode of communication is
mainly used for foreign clients and executives, some employees have to function in odd hours
to match that of client’s time zone. In developing countries like India, employees of small and
medium sized companies who deal with foreign clients have to connect with them after working
hours. This has not only affected their family lives but has led to health related problems.
In summary, the methods of communications have changed for good, but sometimes
employees are exploited. (218 words)

OR

We live in the information age. Advances in technology have changed impacts of mass
communication. The mediums used for mass communication have increased – from radios to
television to print and online media. Online media is gaining popularity and unlike other
methods, it provides a platform to share and exchange ideas and opinions.

With the advent of social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter, the speed with which
the news travels has increased dramatically. Everyone online is aware about the happenings
in the world. It provides a platform to share ideas, exchange thoughts and opinions about
various issues. Discussing an issue with various perspectives can lead to better decisions
made for the society.

With great power comes great responsibility. The power is in the hand of the creator of
information. Some information is blown out of proportion to make sensational headlines while
others are biased and misleading. The power is strong enough to transform the ideas, beliefs
and mindsets of people. This is a threat to society on the long run.

In conclusion, mass communication has led to the shifts in the lives of individuals. People are
more aware, but the question is do we really need all that information? (200 words)

2. Space Exploration

OR

We should spend money on space research and travel or should resolve earth
problems.

scientist are constantly exploring , other planets rather than resolving problems of their own
planet"do you think they should explore or try to evade problems of own planet
we are dwelling in the 21st century and in this century a lot of exploration is being undertaken
by the scientist . i am going to broach my views in upcoming paragraph.

To begin with this , it is very interesting idea for me to go on a mission for a space exploration
which many people on this planet dream to avail during their whole life . by visiting we can
explore more a bout the galaxies and ultimately get an idea about the universe .It will be very
exciting to feel without gravitational pull . i would love to roam in a space with star and earth
around me.

However on the flip side there are so many problems on the earth that i would like to get rid of
those with money which is being used for space visit .growth of industrious production ,
increased number of vehicles have played a havoc with the health of the earth . i will make
aware people about the hazardous gases being emitted . i will also encourage people to bring
more area under green cover to live in healthy life and leave this planets as inhabitable .
By hammering the last nail , all the space exploration should be focused at improving
environment health of the earth and equal weight age and recognition should be given to
environmentalist who are worried about the earth.
OR
Economists and environmentalist often claim money should be spent on resolving problems of
earth rather than space research. If we had such attitude, there would have been no America
and the lives of people would not have been so easy.

Space research is a very interesting subject. Scientists for decades are trying to find traces of
life on other planets. Others are interested to know about the formation and number of stars,
planets and galaxies. Many governments, companies are investing heavily to find more about
space.

Undoubtedly, this inquisitive nature of human has undoubtedly led to many discoveries and
inventions which improved our lives. However it has also increased pollution and has
adversely affected environment on Planet Earth. Depleting ozone layer of the atmosphere and
climate change has increased the number of disasters have affected millions. If this is not
controlled, the future generations will have to pay a heavy price.

On one hand we have Earth is ever changing – from Ice age to Stone Age to today. On the
other, curious researchers are spending exorbitant amount on space research. In my opinion,
it will be interesting if researchers can find a way to solve the problems of earth from space
technology. (202 words)

3. Talk about the pros/consof this era as is full of daily invention?

In this modern era, many things have been invented in various areas for daily use that have
given numerous benefits to the human beings and society. There are, however, plenty of
significant drawbacks that have hampered the life of people.

There is no doubt the invented products have provided considerable benefits to the people.
First of all, due to escalating inflation rates and changes in the demographic structure of
education paradigm between men and women, they both are working in corporates to live a
lavish lifestyle. They do not have sufficient amount of time to perform their daily task. To
illustrate, they will use the washing machine to wash clothes, grinders to prepare spices, etc.
Another major benefit is the communication devices that have transformed the level of
communication and working activities amongst people. As a result, these inventions have
made their life much easier and convenient than earlier.

In sharp contrast to this, there are also negative effects of this technological invention. Firstly,
people have become over-dependent on communication devices which have made them less
active and increase of mental stress. In addition to this, a major worrying concern is the
widespread use of e-mail and internet chatting, which have destroyed traditional forms of
communication such as letter-writing and face-to-face conversation.

To conclude, the invention in various areas in the 21st century has revolutionised the people
life in a day-to-day basis with numerous benefits, however, there are also drastic effects of this
technology. I hope that inventions will continue in future and it cannot be refrain, but we should
see that we are using these innovative products in moderate amounts. (266 words)

OR

The industrial revolution has spread all over the globe. For over a century now, there has been
an increase in the number of new things invented and used. This has affected the world in both
good and bad ways.

‘Necessity is the mother of invention’ is a very old adage. Whether it is airplanes to travel
distant places or taking a holiday to moon or sending message with a click of a button –
anything is possible. Machines are invented to perform various tasks that make our lives
easier, some inventions make it better and let us live healthier. Life threatening diseases have
now found cures due to advancements in technology and the longevity of humans have
increased.

Despite all the benefits of inventions, it has made people overly dependent. For instance,
people cannot stay without their mobile phones for even a day. There has been a change in
behaviour when they do not have their phones with them – some say they feel ‘incomplete’
without them. Such dependence often leads to new types of psychological diseases. Further,
there has been a steep rise in the technological waste that is having detrimental effects on
environment. If this is not curbed or treated carefully, future generations will have to suffer.

In conclusion, there are many inventions that were luxuries when invented but now have
become a necessity. With changing climatic conditions and needs of 21 st century, it is
impossible to lead life without certain inventions. (242 words)

4. Any recent invention that you think proved beneficial or detrimental to society.

Over the last few years, it is evident how various inventions have come up that have totally
changed the lives of people and society. One of the magnificent inventions is the computer,
which has benefitted the entire mankind and society at various levels. Let’s discuss the
significant benefits of computers.

Undoubtedly, the computer has provided a bunch of considerable benefits. First of all, the
computer made the people life much easier and faster than earlier. Every day they are using
the computer to perform numerous tasks such as calculating figures and transact financial
transactions. Secondly, it has also assisted working professionals at workplaces to write
letters, give the presentations through power-point and many more.
Another major benefit is in recent years, the computer has introduced as a subject in primary
and secondary schools. This proliferation has helped students to learn the computer and its
various applications associated with it. As a result, it is a good sign for information technology
industry as in future more and more people will be computer literate. In addition to this, the
government and bureaucrats are using the computer to provide efficient social services to their
citizens. Thus, the citizen life has become convenient and these services are easily accessible
to them without much hassle. To illustrate, Indian government directly send subsidy transfers
to below income poverty line groups of people to their savings account directly.

In a nutshell, the invention of the computer has drastically changed the society life in various
areas with plenty of benefits. I wish in future this technological invention will not halt, but it is
predicted to climb to make the society life much easier and convenient than now. (273 words)

It is an era of inventions. Technological advances have made our life easier. From taking a
holiday to moon to sending messages with a click – everything is possible. One such
astonishing invention is Smart phones.

Smart phones are mobile phones that are not only used for calls and texts messages but
many other features. They are like mini computers with internet that allows users to download
various applications that can help them at work, home and to stay connected with their friends
and families. There are endless applications for entertainment such as games and music;
utilities such as compass and flashlight; and productivity such as health and fitness apps to
track the number of miles you have run or the amount of calories consumed. It is altogether a
new world.

Consequently, smart phones have made people socially averse. Many people shy away from
communicating to people when they meet or over the telephone as they find it easy to talk via
texts or online messages or tweets. During social events, many are gluedto their phones to
stay updated, missing all the fun they can have when they are with people.

Too much of anything is bad. Undoubtedly smart phone have changed the lives of people in a
good way but have increased several psychological diseases. (216 words)

5. Many people think that regions affect successful person. What is your opinion about
native region and accomplished person’s influence on the region he belongs to?
There is a considerable debate going on, whether certain regions play an important role in a
person success. Indeed, my belief it is not the countries or any specific region that uplift people
to achieve success, but there are other crucial factors which are very important.

The first thing is to understand which are the various factors that urge people to a path of
success. First of all, if a person wants to become successful, then he should have a robust
determination, discipline and a long- term vision of his goals. Thus, these qualities are the
most crucial as success is not a straight path, but a fluctuating trend like an ECG line.

Secondly, the amount of hard and smart work also plays an indispensable role in shaping a
person success. Unless he inculcates all these qualities, it will become very arduous task to
become a successful person.
Furthermore, the social environment is too an indispensable variable to move ahead in life.
There is no doubt, a person may be highly educated with creative and analytical skills,
however if his friends and communities members are into bad activities or their approach may
not be as same as person whose intention is to become successful, then it gradually hampers
the person thinking and he may not have a clear and concise goals in order to achieve
success.
To conclude, opponents argue that certain region is a crucial factor to achieve success and
become the successful person while I totally disagree with their viewpoint, as factors such as,
discipline and determination is a very important and totally help the person to become
successful.

6. Nowadays TV has become an essential part of life. Medium to spread news &
awareness and for some it acts like a companion. What is your opinion about this?

Over the last decades, television as a technological invention has served various purposes to
all groups of people. Indeed, my view is that television has become an integral part of
everyone life which represents information and entertainment, but at the same time it has also
hampered people life significantly.

Undoubtedly, the invention of television has provided numerous benefits in daily life. One of
the most important merits is it acts as a source of information in the form of news, reality
programmes and educational based series.The news around the world provides various
information which in reality is not possible by going or visiting the foreign countries. For
example, a woman from Nigeria can sit at her home or at office and switch on her TV to see
the news of India, Russia and many more.

On the other hand, people have also encountered negative effects of TV which have become a
serious issue. The clearest demerits are young children have become addicted and, as a
result, they have become less active and sociable. They are spending a huge amount of time
on watching amusement programmes, which have given them an artificial knowledge. Another
serious concern is people have invited to serious mental and physical illness. The excessive
usage of TV means they are sitting at one place and have significantly reduced the physical
activity.

To conclude, my view is that TV plays an important role in our life for entertainment and
information, however, at the same time, its negative effects are hampering our personal
growth. I wish that young children should be protected and their parents should see that they
watch the TV for a limited amount of time.
OR

Television, for decades have been an important part of our life. It is a great way to share news
and awareness about society, economic and political issues amongst many others. Nowadays,
there are niche TV channels for all age groups - educational channels makes information fun
and easy to remember for children, TV series such as Friends or Game of thrones is favourite
pastime amongst youth and sports and news channels for adults. Television is definitely a
great medium of learning and entertainment but is stealing away family time.

The educational and interactive channels are a great medium to learn for children but more
than often they prefer watching their favourite cartoon. In addition, children prefer watching TV
over playing in the park with their friends. This has not only affected their health but also has
made them socially averse. Not only children, but this has affected adults as well - most
couples and families spend their evenings and weekends watching television which in turn has
increased insecurity in relationships.

Certainly, I am not against watching television, but it should be in consideration and time limit.
Doing anything too much does more harm than good and so is the case with watching TV.
Furthermore, we should monitor what we or children are watching as it has strong impacts on
an individual’s behaviour and thinking patterns. (225 words)

7. Significance of formal written assessments in today's world to evaluate children's


performance.
OR
Education system that assess the student's learning by written exam is
correct?what is your view?

Historically, the educational institutions have adopted a system of assessing formal written
examination of pupils in numbers of countries around the world. While some argue that in
today’s highly competitive marketthis assessment is not valid, indeed my view is it is the most
effective system to evaluate the pupil’s performance and capability.

Undoubtedly, this system has considerable benefits not only on pupil’s performance but also
on teacher performance. Firstly, it motivates the students to study the different subjects in
depth. This, in turn, will help them to gain the diverse knowledge of various subjects and, as a
result, they will give their best in exams. Secondly, they will manage to cope up with mental
pressure and beat the stress. For example, if they come to know the exams deadlines, then
they will study harder and that managing mental pressure will help them in future at
workplaces.

On the other hand, this system is also very effective to judge the teacher performance. When
any students secure better grades, then it shows the teacher style and her way of teaching. In
addition to this, the professors can analyse the weak areas of the students by looking at their
performance in written papers. As a consequence, the educational institutions can provide
extra training and value- added materials to enhance their performance.

To sum up, in today’s modern era there are various systems to assess the student
performance, but I would recommend that formal written examinations are the best and the
most efficient way of evaluating student and teacher performance.

OR

Whether assessment of an individual via written exam is not enough to test all skills of an
individual is an ongoing debate for decades for academicians and educationist.

Relying on what is written in exam cannot prove that the candidate understands everything
that is taught. Further, candidates with English as not their first language often struggle with
these exams. Moreover, students in India are often taught to memorize answers without
understanding. Such practice can gain students high marks but very less understanding. Thus,
only a written assignment is not enough to assess the knowledge. Nevertheless, written exams
are essential. It is a good indicator to judge if the candidate has read thoroughly and
understood. Further, usage of examples from real life situations or remembering it from
somewhere read indicates his analyses and application.

Fifteen years in the millennium and the employer’s expectation from prospective employees
has risen drastically. They prefer candidates who can multi-task and can work in a team. Thus
schools and universities are now adapting other methods of assessment such as group
coursework, presentation and experiments amongst others. Such activities will hone their skills
in team work but improve their communication skills and help in increasing confidence.
Further, having to submit these assignments at different times will teach them time
management and aligning their priorities.

In conclusion, I believe written examinations are only valid when clubbed with other methods of
assessments. (244 words)

8. Organisations involve employees in decision making process of their products and


services. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of both.

In recent years, the various companies have started involving their employees in decision-
making process of their products and services in order to compete in the market. While the
above proposed solution is feasible, as it provides prolific benefits, there are also significant
drawbacks which can affect the company business badly.

There are various reasons for implementing this above proposed solution. First of all, the
competition has become intense and every company wants to become a market leader, and
this is possible as some employees are very creative and they have a unique idea which leads
to massive growth in sales and profits. Secondly, the employees directly interact with the
customer and understand their needs and desires. As a result, they can implement and give
their advice and suggestions to provide the best customer service, as customer relationship
management is the most important factor in order to retain the market share.

In sharp contrast to this, there are also negative effects of this solution. One of the most
negative effects is there may be some top management authorities who may not agree with
their employee ideas and this may lead to a conflict. Another major problem is some
employees may leak the important information such as key business proposal, mergers and
acquisitions. As a consequence, the company reputation and its image will hamper drastically.

To sum up,in my view the above proposed solution seems feasible in order to boost sales,
profits and dominate the market, however, there are also negative effects that can tarnish the
company image. I would suggest the top management authorities should involve only those
employees, who are ethical and honest.

OR

For donkey’s years, there is a constant debate that employees must be involved in decision
making process.

Often new start-ups and small scale companies take opinions of their employees before
making important decision. This bonds the team like a family and there has been a steady
growth of the company. Further, they are aware of the current situation which makes them act
responsibly. Moreover, opinions from employees bring fresh perspective to the top level
management team and sometimes problems that look very tricky can be solved very easily.

However, it is not always recommended for every decision made. Certain sensitive information
must not be disclosed, for example, how to address the loss incurred by an organisation? Such
topics can make the junior employees panic and spread rumours about company in the
market; and these situations must be carefully addressed.

Democratic management has been successful. Though including all employees in the decision
making process will be difficult and tedious, but the results are positive. In the recent years,
many companies and organisations are adopting this technique and reaping benefits. It makes
employees feel strongly about the company and accountable for the decision made which in
turn ensure their productivity and efficiency. (201 words)

9. The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but
those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn. Agree or Disagree?

We are now living in a highly competitive world and this will grow immensely in future. While in
order to stand differently and unusual then one should follow the statement cited by Mr Alvin
Toffler.”The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those
who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn.” In this essay, I am going to examine how this
statement is so crucial in this era.
First of all, there is no doubt the competition to get the job and secure business deals have
surged massively. Nowadays, the companies prefer specialists than generalists, as the former
possess numerous skills in a particular area. A case in point, a hedge fund manager should
not only master in fundamental analysis but also excellent in technical analysis. Such skills will
help him or her to secure the job in top companies.

Secondly, the innovation in various areas has urged lazy people to move ahead in life than
their counterparts. For example, a decade back, an accountant used to put journal entries and
finalise balance sheet, while nowadays he should be computer literate with thorough
knowledge of accountancy standards and principles.

Finally, the computer, communication devices, and various services have grown to such an
extent that people need to be excel in all these applications. If they did not take any amount of
interest or initiative to learn the information or hone the skills, then Sir Alvin Toffler statement
will certainly be true.

To conclude, the people all over the world should follow Sir Alvin Toffler statement and
continuously learn new information and skills in order to move ahead in their professional life
or else it will become very difficult to sustain their job in this era.

OR

We live in a fast paced world of changing technology. A new phone becomes obsolete within 6
months and people will adapt new technology. This time frame will continue to decrease.
Everyone will have to follow a learning cycle where they can learn, unlearn and relearn.

Back in the days, people who were unable to read and write were called illiterate. With
everyone being educated, this definition is changing in the developed countries and
percolating amongst literate. There is a paradigm shift in the requirements of the employers.
Employers expect employees to transform and adapt themselves techniques easily. Some
methods will be out-of-date thus people have to unlearn them and learn to new and better
methods. They have keep relearning it till a change is needed.

Take my example for instance, the subject accounting is often updated with new and better
techniques of accounting. While studying accounting at university, we had to unlearn the
methods to prepare a Balance Sheet and Profit and Loss Sheet taught in Year 1 as new
techniques were introduced. In Year 3, we had to learn new techniques. If we did not unlearn
the old technique we would have failed our exams.

To sum up, people who cannot follow this cycle of learning will be considered illiterate and
slow. Increasingly, more people are attending universities at the later stage of their life. In this
way they keep updated, employable and develop skills of learning cycle which will be
eventually required in all aspects of life. (250 words)
10. Global Warming- 288 words - Amrit Pai

In recent years, the global warming has become a serious concern in numbers of countries
around the world. While the solution has proposed that the government and the politicians
have to take prime responsibilities to combat the negative effects of global warming, the
individuals too can actively contribute.

There are various causes and effects of global warming which have hampered our
environment. First of all, the power-generation companies massively use the non-renewable
sources of energy such as coal, oil, and natural gas, which emits perilous gases in large
amounts. As a consequence, the levels of air pollution have surged intensively. Finally, it
should not be forgotten that how illegal logging still continues in rainforests. Take a case of,
Amazon Basin, in particular.

The government and politicians, however, can reduce the global warming effects through
various options. Firstly, they can enact stricter and stringent laws and policies on the power
generation and industrial companies in order to put-off on consumption of the natural
resources. One more practical solution is, they can give incentives to the people who drive
their private vehicles such as, reducing taxes or giving discount coupons, in order to reduce
the carbon dioxide levels.

On the other hand, the individuals can also participate to maintain a healthy and a fresh
environment. The first practical solution is, they should give less preference to their cars and
bikes, and instead they should travel from the public transport. In addition to this, they should
start using solar based products to insulate their homes. A case in point, they can use solar
heaters, and LED bulbs and lights.

To sum up, there is no doubt, the global warming is a major issue and its effects cannot be
ignored. If governments and individuals, however, collaboratively participates then gradually
we can see the minimal impacts of the global warming.

11. In the past 100 years, there are many inventions such as antibiotics, airplanes, and
computers. What do you think is the most important invent for the past 100 years?
Why?

Over the last few decades, the enormous technological inventions such as antibiotics,
airplanes, and computers have been invented. Indeed, all these inventions have provided
prolific benefits to the human beings and community, but the computer is such an invention,
which has drastically changed the life of people and business of the companies.

Undoubtedly, there are various benefits of the computer as an invention. First of all, the
computer assists the people to perform complex tasks and transact the financial transactions.
These activities can be achieved and completed within a short period of time. Another major
benefit is, it has now been inducted in factories to enhance the productivity of the companies
products and services. A case in point, Ducati Motors Inc., has employed the computers and
it's various software applications to detect the errors and loopholes while manufacturing the
bikes and cars.

In addition to this, one should not forgotten the massive merits that have given to the society.
The government and its various departments have started using computers and various
software in order to provide efficient services to its citizens. To illustrate, the Indian
Government, in FY 2014-15, started a Direct Subsidy Scheme, in order to send the subsidy
benefits directly to the low-income group people savings accounts. Thus, it is of note, how the
computers have upgraded the level not only the government but also enriched the life of the
community.

To sum up, the computer invention over the last decade have considerably changed the
people life and enhanced the society activities. I wish in future, this development is predicted to
climb massively.

12. The claim that animals have rights has been subjected as a matter of debate since
the 1970s. Are zoos helping or hurting our animals? Should zoos be banned? Do
you agree or disagree.

For several years, it has been argued that animals have rights. This was further claimed by
not-for-profit organsiations such as PETA. For over half a century, there is a constant debate
about the existence of zoos. A major concern is to understand if zoos are helping or hurting
animals. Many claim that zoos should be made illegal.

Every major city has a zoo that has several species of animals. On one hand, it is
advantageous for humans as it not only becomes a medium of income but also entertainment
where many families bring their children to familiarise themselves with these creatures. While
we gasp in awe, these animals are caged in a limited area which is not enough for them. More
than often zoos do not provide animals with their natural environment facility which affects their
health seriously. For example, species that are meant to live in colder places are transported
to zoos that are in hotter and dry areas which they cannot acclimatize to easily. Furthermore,
the pollution of city affects the longevity of these animals.

In my opinion, it is similar to the idea where humans are put in the jails without committing any
crime and I strongly believe that zoos should be banned completely. However, animals in
sanctuaries where they are close to their habitat and have enough space to move around
should be encouraged. This will not only give them freedom to live, but also help them to lead
a happy and healthy life - which is their right.
13. Team sports are generally promoted as a great way to keep fit and build character.
However, sporting events such as soccer matches are often accompanied by
violence between rival supporters and other form of antisocial behavior. If sporting
events antisocial behavior, can team sports be really good for us?

For mass and social media, sports events have held particular interest due to the debate it
sparks. While some people think that is an excellent way to be healthy and build character,
many believe that sporting events can lead to antisocial behavior towards rival team.

Such anti-social behaviour can be seen in the fans of many football clubs in Europe. The
recognized teams have a lot of pressure to win every game they play. However, it is important
to understand that winning and losing are two sides of a same coin and thus should be
accepted gracefully. More than often, supporters of a winning team mock the members and
supporters of rival teams – and forget that being nasty will not help.

This behaviour is inculcated young when children start following these teams, if the behaviour
is not corrected at the right age by parents and peers, it can be dangerous. The advantages
and skills learned due to team sports outweigh the antisocial behavior at the sporting events,
which does not happen all the time. Moreover, the skills and talent of players must not be
overlooked by such antisocial behaviour of fans. Furthermore, the famous sportsperson who
are role models for many must encourage fan to treat everyone with respect, including their
challengers. (212 words)

14. Do you think consumers should avoid over packaged products or is it the
responsibility of producers?

Right packaging ensures that the products are used when required without any wastage.
Packaging industry is highly competitive industry – that is bringing about packaging solutions
for all types and different sectors of industries.

For example, food industry has understood the success right packing can bring and has gone
to the extent to pack their food in trays and in boxes of different shapes and sizes to match that
of food. It is not only user friendly but many consumers claim that is delicious. Further,
research suggests that aesthetic appeal of packaged products makes consumer overlook the
health risks packaged food can incur. Thus, increases the overall value of the item and makes
higher sales. However, they tend to overlook that they spend more than they would otherwise
just due to the way it is packed.

After climate change impacts, several manufacturers now claim that use recyclable and
recycled products for packaging. Yet, several items such as vegetables and fruits in
supermarkets are packed in plastics (which are not required) is a threat to environment. Thus,
in my opinion, it is the producers must ensure that over packaging is avoided whereas
consumers must dispose these items in the right way or re-use if possible to curb the
environmental damage.
15. Many people think that regions affect successful person. What is your opinion about
native region and accomplished person’s influence on the region he belongs to.

There is an old adage – ‘where there is a will, there is a way’. Success does not come easy – it
comes after sheer hard work, dedication and perseverance. Moreover, a lot depends on an
individual’s will power and knowledge. Thus, inner thoughts affect success more than the outer
environment. Either from village or a metropolitan city, nothing can stop an individual who
wants to mark a name in the pages of history.

Once successful every individual goes back to its roots – where he belonged to and where he
came from. Successful and accomplished individual proudly give a lot of credit of their success
to their town, culture, friends and family. This is because, that is the place where they have
spent their childhood and formative years. Knowledge and the strong values instilled in them
by their parents and teachers have played a major part in their success.

More than often, the people who are doing well play a major role in the reconstruction of their
hometowns. They want to provide for the facilities such as building schools, libraries and
colleges - for younger generation which were not available to them while they were growing
up. Moreover, they share technological advances via such mediums.

Developing such platform, where exposure meets the will power to succeed; where individuals
has opportunities to reach their full potential will indeed keep on producing successful people.

16. The environment we are living in is in danger due to various problems...so who do u
think should be responsible to solve it? Is it the governments, organisation or each
individual?

Adverse effects of global warming are seen in form of depletion of ozone layer and climate
change has led to increase in the rate of disasters. Uneven rainfall, cyclones, droughts, heat
and cold waves have affected the lives of people in several ways. We cannot blame or make
one entity responsible to solve the issues of environment. Working as a team we can achieve
more. However, government can legislate and enforce the environment friendly behaviour of
individuals and organisations by law.

For example, gas and electricity which is usually provided by government must be produced
using renewable sources of energy such as solar and hydro power. Further stricter laws must
be enforced to reduce the emissions from industries and discarding toxic waste in a nature
friendly manner. Government must ensure that students in schools and universities understand
the threat possessed by increasing pollution and are encouraged to use recyclable products.
Moreover, more funds must be spent in R&D to reduce toxic waste. Furthermore,
organisations and government together can introduce programs where they plant trees.
However, making laws is just one part of the coin –execution is even more important.
Such vast scale initiatives cannot be completed by an entity in itself. In my opinion, I believe
governments, organisations and individuals are equally responsible to solve the problem. (217

17. Tobacco, mainly in form of cigarettes, is one of the most-widely used drugs in the
world. Over a billion adults legally smoke tobacco every day. The long term health
costs are high - for smokers themselves, and for the wider community in terms of
health care costs and lost productivity.
OR

Do governments have a legitimate role to legislate, to protect citizens from the


harmful effects of their own decisions to smoke, or are such decisions up to the
individual?

Despite of all the harmful effects of tobacco, it is legal in nearly all the countries. Over a billion
people across the world of different age groups smoke cigarettes. Both the active and passive
smokers have serious impacts on health, many suffer from cancer, asthma and other lung and
heart related problems – but still it is not banned.

Often, people start smoking during their college due to peer pressure. However, soon they are
addicted to it. Many smokers have erratic responses about the harmful effects – some say,
that they live only once and thus should enjoy life to the fullest; and others it is all written in
destiny. Such behaviour force to think that governments must intervene and ban tobacco. On
the other hand, it was found that many people in developing and under developed countries
were not aware of the adverse effects of smoking – when realised they gave up smoking.

Governments over years have legislated and reduced the consumption of cigarette over the
past years by levying more tax on cigarettes and some countries increased the age for
smoking to 21 years. All adults are sensible and thus are responsible for the decisions they
make. Instead of a forced ban, individuals must act responsibly and understand that being
healthy and living long will let them and their families lead a happy life. (223 words)

18. Large shopping malls are replacing small shops. Your opinion – good or bad?

Due to westernization and globalization, the concept of shopping malls is now widely accepted
and appreciated amongst people. Shopping malls are big shops where individuals can buy
everything under one roof – from clothing to shoes; from home utilities to office accessories;
and food, gaming zone and cinema halls for entertainment.

All the major cities have these shopping malls. Families and individuals prefer malls over small
shops as it is a one stop destination for their needs. Further, exciting deals and offers on items
make consumers too difficult to resist. Not only does it give consumers many options to
choose from it makes the shopping experience a lot more fun than before.

However, it has had a strong impact on the small scale shop owners as everyone prefers
going to malls for shopping. For example, a small grocery shop at the corner of the street
might not have all international brands of sauces and chocolates to pick from. Thus, those
shops are used for daily errands. People are more aware about the brands and thus avoid
buying brand-free items. Such mentality has made it difficult for the new start ups to penetrate
the market as they generally have low capital to advertise and develop a brand image.

In conclusion, small shops have lost value and thus consumers of the past few years.
However, understanding the competitive markets and the needs of the localites’– they should
have products to suit their demands so that people choose their shops reliably. (247 words)

19. Pros and cons of extreme sports

Fifteen years into the new millennium and extreme sports such as sky diving, mountaineering
expeditions, river rafting and snorkeling amongst many others are gaining popularity. Many
adventurers say that such activities give them a ‘high’ they want, while others indulge in the
activity to look ‘cool’.

Jumping from a plane at a height 31,000 feet can sound very erratic but many people do it to
get an adrenaline rush – ‘the high’. Life has become very predictable and thus boring. To break
this monotony, many individuals take up adventure sports; to do something completely
different and unexpected. Moreover, researchers also claim that repetitive or similar extreme
sports do not give individuals the same level adrenaline rush that they got at first. Thus, the
next extreme sport adventurers pick is often even more dangerous.

Undoubtedly such sports are very dangerous and life threatening. There have been incidences
in past when individuals have suffered serious injuries and some have even lost lives. Thus,
governments have made very stringent laws to ensure everyone’s safety.

Being an extreme sport enthusiast myself, in my opinion, individuals must take up these
adventurous sports after ensuring that the organization or the tutor that they have tied up with
ensures their safety and takes all possible measures for the same. (211 words)
20. With growing internationalization, will English lose its dominance?

Due to advances in technology and globalization, the world has become connected and
reachable. English is most widely spoken language across the world. However, there are
predictions that like Latin, English will lose its global dominance.

For decades, English is used widely for all the economic, technological and political dealings
between the countries. Travelers travelling across the world rely on English. Moreover,
increasing number of schools has English as a compulsory subject in addition to their native
language. Thus increase in the number of non native English speakers throughout the world.
In developing countries such as India and Sri Lanka amongst many others give English
language is given more importance. Those who cannot speak fluent English are often looked
down upon.

On the other hand, countries like Japan and China (who is also the world’s greatest
population) are creating a strong mark in the global economic market. All of these countries
give utmost importance to their cultures and thus still have not accepted English as a first
language. Therefore, those who countries who want to be economically connected to these
countries must either have interpreters or learn their language. Many native English speakers
are now learning Hindi and Chinese as an optional language.

In my opinion, I feel English has been accepted as a language of international communication


will never lose its supremacy but will evolve where new words from other languages are
borrowed and accepted – making it a global language. (241 words)

21. Nowadays, people spend too much time at work to the extent that they hardly have
time for their personal life. Discuss
Different people get success in different fields. Some people work long hours to
get success, but others feel that spend free time for joy than Wealth. Which style
closely relates you and explain your views?

“There is a price to pay for everything” is an old adage. Globalization, increasing competition
and advances in technology has lured people to materialistic luxuries. Everyone wants big
homes to live in, branded clothes and shoes to wear; and high end luxury cars to drive. For
which the price to pay is work harder and longer hours.

To achieve aforementioned luxuries, people have started working very hard. At work,
employees are given very difficult targets with tight deadlines which tie them to their workplace.
Such models are often incentive based. Many companies are now paying employees on
performance based only. Such people are always worried about work and often go home very
late or take their office work to their homes. On the other hand, businessmen lead a stressful
life too – increasing inflation and competition makes it difficult for them to attract consumers.
This behaviour not only affects their personal lives drastically but is detrimental to their health.
They do not spend time with their families and often the children do not get to spend time with
their fathers except Sunday. On Sunday too, they want to rest and charge themselves for the
busy and stressful week ahead. Such stories are very common in India where there is cut-
throat competition in every field. Such working hours make them unhappy and insecure in life.

To conclude, anything done too much is not good. Thus, both employees and employers
should have a work life balance to increase efficiency in work and happiness in life.(252 words)

22. Imitating celebrities in sports and movies good or bad?

All of us want to live life king size. A life led by celebrity is aspired by all of us at some point in
our lives. Many of us start imitating celebrities thinking that acting like them will make us one.
However, we forget that they became celebrities after a very long journey of hard work,
dedication, failures and perseverance.

For many of us, celebrities are role models. Learning from their experiences and life will help
us achieve our goals. All successful people are passionate about something; copying this can
do wonders. Celebrities inspire students at school to be a human being and make them realise
that if they can do it – so can we. Such inspiration is necessary when growing up.

However, many people overlook the difference between the good and the bad; and the
impacts such actions will have on their lives. Several fans start following every action of their
favourite screen idol blindly. Some start smoking while others sport a certain hair style or
dance move to impersonate their favourite star. This makes them look ‘cool’ amongst peers.
But sometimes certain actions may be derogatory.

In conclusion, in countries like India where celebrities are given a position of God; have a lot of
responsibility on their shoulders.They must ensure that their actions do not spread wrong
message. (221words)
23. Learning a new language at an early age is helpful for children. Is it more positive
for their future aspect or have some adverse effects. Agree or disagree?

In today’s connected world learning a second language opens up a window to opportunities for
children.

Many researchers have proved that children below seven years of age are inclined to learn a
new language easily. Lessons of new languages are introduced them without even realising
they are learning – children following the adventures of the hero in the story book they are
reading. At this age, they can easily imitate the accents and adopt the pronunciations of native
speakers. Further, it also sharpens their analytical and critical thinking skills which will help
them in future.

However, it must be ensured that the language is taught in right accents. More than often,
children learn the new language in the accent of their native language. For example, Japanese
often speak English with a thick Japanese accent. It becomes difficult for the global users of
that language to understand them when adults.

In culturally diverse countries like India, it is a common practice for children to learn three or
four languages. Understanding the advantages, many schools in developed countries are
teaching a second language at school from three years of age. This has put an academic
pressure on the children and more work for parents but all the efforts are worthwhile. (207

24. In under developed countries, tourism has disadvantages and can be said the
opposite as well.

Low air fares have increased international holidays. Every year, people all over the world take
summer or Christmas holidays to different countries. Often, people choose destinations with
lower currency value than theirs. This way tourist has more money to spend during holidays.

Tourism has become a major industry for developing countries. Governments of many
developing countries are encouraging tourism as it provides business to all sectors such as
entertainment, shopping, food and local transport and travel. It has become a lucrative mode of
income for people. Countries like Thailand, Nepal and Sri Lanka amongst many others have
benefited the citizens and have drastically improved their standard of living and education.

Despite the advantages of a thriving tourism industry, we cannot overlook the damage it can
do. Developing and under developed countries tend to lose their traditional culture and values.
They tend to adopt lifestyles, languages and food to match that of travellers. For example, in
India, people are very influenced by the western culture and often look down upon Indian folk
dance, handicraft work and languages. This can cause stress in the traditional culture and lead
to animosity towards tourists.
To sum up, tourism can change the lives of people. However, governments of the developing
and under developed countries must conserve their cultural heritage – which is the main
attraction for people to travel. (222 words)

25. Reason of decline in Library day by day.

We live in an information age. Technology changed the lives of people in more than many
ways. One such change was the way people read books. In my opinion, there are two major
reasons for the shift in paradigm.

Firstly, there has been a change in preference in the mode of reading books, electronic books
(e-books) are gaining popularity. E-books can be downloaded on smart phones, tablets and
reading devices such as Kindle and Kobo. These small, sleek and user friendly devices can
store millions of e-books on all sorts of topics. A lot of people read while travelling on trains
and buses – devices are very convenient as readers no longer need to carry heavy books.

Secondly, Google was introduced with the advent of internet. The search engine answers all
questions and queries. People find it easy to use and it is spontaneous. On the other hand,
finding right books in libraries on time can be difficult and reading through pages to find answer
can be time consuming. This is one my major reason for the library shutdown in many cities.

In my opinion, unfortunately libraries will keep losing importance. Advances in technology will
keep changing our lives and new devices that make our lives easy will lure us. (217 words)

26. The only thing that interferes with my learning is my education- Einstein. What does
he mean by that? And do you think he is correct?

‘The only thing that interferes with my learning is my education’ said Einstein. Like operating
system sets up the way the computer will function, education sets up our brain. Most of our
actions and thoughts are a result of our education system. Unfortunately, this hinders creativity
and creates barriers between right and wrong.

Einstien was a school drop-out as he was not able to learn what was taught at school.
Everyone called him a failure and stupid before he made his inventions. This is the same way
we treat our children when they do not perform well at school. We often fail to understand their
condition and scold them. But we must understand some children are god gifted and have in
born knowledge and talent. Sometimes they bring a fresh perspective or a new mind-set to
subjects which can be different from the regular regime. Instead of shutting them down, we
must give them free space where they can express themselves and their energy.
Instead of producing robots at schools, the education system must be made flexible so enough
importance is given to creativity and thought. The madness and passion that Einstein had to
invent something new is important. Children with these traits must be encouraged. (206words)

27. Advantages and disadvantages of studying abroad

Overseas education is gaining popularity in many countries including India. Every year
thousands of Indian students go to western countries to study. While some feel that education
is better than the local colleges or universities in India, others feel that it is very difficult to get
an admission in reputed Indian colleges due to competition.

Studying in a foreign land brings a number of advantages. The most obvious is that it broadens
our mind. Experiencing new culture, speaking languages in different accent, celebrating new
festivals, meeting people with different backgrounds, adapting to their cuisines and seeing a
complete different way of life is an enhancing experience that builds confidence and flexible.

However, studying in a different country is quite expensive. The university fees and the costs
of living are generally high. It imposes financial burden on student's families. Many students
have to borrow large education loans in order to pay tuition fees. Another disadvantage is that
students have to live away from their family and friends.

Like every side has two coins, studding overseas has its own gains and disadvantages. It is a
rich experience that opens a window full of opportunities if students overcome or find ways to
adjust to challenges. (202words)

28. "Value added by travel in Education. Is travel a necessary component of education


or not? Will scholar sitting at home have more knowledge than one who travels? "

Many schools and universities have included trips as a part of their curriculum. Some
academicians and parents argue that this leads to increase in the costs of education, but the
rich experiences and knowledge gained on these journeys are assets for travellers.

Travel is an important part of education. The most obvious advantage is that it broadens the
mind. Experiencing a new culture, meeting people from different walks of life and trying their
cuisines are rich experiences. Travellers face unexpected situations which brings them out of
their comfort zone – that is where they learn the most. This cannot be learnt within the four
walls of the rooms.

On the other hand, many argue that reading books can give you all knowledge. Book readers
can travel all the countries with the characters of the story. Agreeable, but that is a world with
the author’s perspective. Besides, practical learning is always more beneficial than theoretical
knowledge. Given an opportunity, all the readers would want to go themselves and see the
places described in the books and movies.
In conclusion, travelling gives practical knowledge. Such learning cannot be forgotten – it sinks
deep in the minds of travellers. This increases confidence and flexibility in adapting ourselves
to situations. (204 words)

29. Our planet is suffering from multitude problem, which one is the biggest problem
and things to do to resolve it.

On one hand, technological and industrial advances have made human life easy. However this
has increased the carbon emissions, toxic waste pollution and climate change. This has led to
increase in the frequency and intensity of disasters all over the world. Millions of people from
various countries have suffered. Unfortunately, the developing and the under developed
countries have to suffer more.

In the race of becoming a developed country, developing countries such as India have
unplanned development. They are replacing lush green forests with concrete jungles.
However, they can replant the trees in other places instead of cutting them. Further, this has
led many rivers to flood villages and cities during monsoon. Such activities have disturbed the
lives of the people and have caused adverse effects on ecology and ecosystem. There are
various stories about wild animals attacking villages for food in such countries.

The only way to balance the ecology is to plant more trees. The greener the countries will be
the better will be the quality of life. There is an increase in the understanding and awareness
as now people celebrate world environment day. On such events many students at schools
and universities to plants trees and encourage them to perform same activity with their
families.

To sum up, the climate change is a major issue. If this is not solved then our future generations
will have to pay for it. (233 words)

30. Some people think law changes our behaviour. Discuss.

Everyone knows that laws are the rules laid by the government on the citizens of their
respective country. It helps in smooth functioning of the nation by governing the behaviour of
people. It is disagreed that laws can change behaviour of a person. It can only assist in
creating a disciplined environment for the society and controlling the crime to some extend but
not eliminating it.

Firstly, imposing laws has created a sense of fear among people of getting punished. For
instance, damaging the historical monuments, books, paintings, sculptures or other form of art
is considered a crime and is punishable under vandalism law. This example shows that a
person with moral responsibility will take care of other’s assets but a person who is not worried
about the consequences will deface them. Thus, we can say that human’s action can be
regulated by laws but cannot be changed completely.

In addition, in our day to day life, we follow rules without even realizing them. Traffic law is an
example of this. Today, most of us follow the traffic signals out of habit. We stop at a red light,
start an indicator before a turn and wear seat belt when we are on road. Thus, we can say that
laws embed some changes in human behaviour to some extent. However, we are still facing
road-accidents which clearly show that rules and regulations have controlled the behaviour of
mankind without altering them completely.

In conclusion, we can say that rules and regulations can help in controlling the behaviour that
is dangerous. Laws not only help in checking the reckless nature of people but are necessary
for the development of society.

31. It is usually foolish to get married before completing your studies and getting
established in a good job? Do you agree or disagree".

Getting married before finishing studies and getting employed can be arduous at times.
Although some people may believe in getting married prior to settle their career, I would still
advocate that getting married later is much better as one can focus on his career.

There are numerous disadvantages to getting married while still a student. It can create a
greater problem when you are dependent on parents to support you. There is the probability
of more tension on the part of both sets of parents. Expecting your parents to continue paying
your tuition as though you were still a child once you have chosen to take on the very adult
responsibility of marriage can also create tension.

Another reason to wait is the time constraint on enrolled newlyweds. Balancing time at home,
adjusting to a new life and spending time on academics is a daunting task, regardless of how
organized you are. Married college students are often left with not enough time to do
housework, study or have couple time. Little time is left for each other so there’s less time to
work on personal growth and the marriage. The college marriage often results in restriction of
college experiences, participation in college functions and of relationships of college friends.
Not only that, but she also finds that marriage affects academics. “There is often a drop in
grades due to added responsibilities or having to take on a full time job. The distractions that
marriage brings are endless and normal, but if yours current schedule and goals make
marriage too much to handle on top of your college life, then the smartest decision may be
taking care of your college career before saying your vows.

Sometimes the engaged couple isn’t actually ready to decide what they want out of marriage
yet. College is a time of growth and maturing. Getting married too soon can cut growth and
maturation short. Most students need some time to be self-supporting, living on your own and
making decisions as you mature. An early marriage can prevent students from ever getting
that time to mature.
32. "Marketing strategy’ for big companies should be placed on offer and discounts,
and in what ways this can impact on their reputation

Have you noticed how our shopping culture has changed in the last decade? Everyone, and I
mean everyone, seems to be slashing their prices.

Why Offer a Discount? Answer is to increase the customer base of the organizations they
offer discounts. Take Groupon for example, someone might get a deal for his or her local
restaurant, and he thinks that "Hey I never been to this restaurant let’s try today". Bam! The
restaurant got a new customer through their door. There are even multi-million dollar
businesses that have built their organizations around the concept of discounting.

Eventually, discounting can actually hurt organization business in the long run. If a company is
giving discounts it shows that they have lack of confidence on their product, people expect
same price every time it is a bad precedent, and they are making their product lower
perceived value, customer think that the product is not trustworthiness which will lead to the
cut down in the company profit.

What should organizations do instead of giving discounting? They should focus on value of
the product, know the target audience, and show confidence in their products. It will prove that
what they are selling works. The perfect example for this kind of organization is the Apple
Company. I have not seen Apple giving discounts in general way.

33. “In a war of ideas, it is people who get killed”. Does a common man suffer from a
group’s ideology?” Express your opinion, and support the same with reasons and
examples

Throughout history, the thinking of a group of people is impacting the lives of thousands of
civilians. Whether it is considered on a political or social level, a set of decisions of a group
explains how a society should work. It is completely agreed that in the conflict of interest
between different countries or different groups within same country, it is the innocent people
who sacrifice their lives. It can be seen from the incidents of World War II and September 11
attacks in United States of America.

First of all, during World War II, a group of countries namely US, UK and China united and
attacked Japan with explosive atomic bombs destroying the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki,
killing more than one lakh civilians. This is a clear example of the decision laid by a few
countries against Japan to surrender to its Allies. Though, these countries achieved victory in
their mission but Japanese people are still suffering from the radioactive radiation effect which
resulted in blindness and mental disorders. Thus, we can say that political ideologies of a
group can drastically harm society.

In addition, September 11 attacks on US by a group of 19 militants, associated with Islamic


extremist group, hijacked four airplanes and killed around 3,000 people by colliding airplanes
into symbolic US landmark. This example clearly shows how the decision and planning of
these terrorist activists took lives of thousands of innocent people.

Looking at the above examples, we can say that it is common man who is suffering from the
social, economic and political interests of a few people. It is hoped that in future, the major
decisions concerning every citizen or the civilians of another country, would be taken
considering its consequences.

34. Parents should be held legally responsible for their children’s acts. What is your
opinion? Support it with personal examples....

Lately there seems to be a great number of young adults making the news for causing harm to
others. Unthinkable acts are being initiated by kids such as setting fellow students on fire,
sexually assaulting an intoxicated and unconscious student, attacking and beating homeless
people, and excessive group bullying leading to suicide.

I think we can all agree that this type of wrongful conduct is inexcusable. The question being
asked is whether or not the parents of these young adults can be held liable for the negligent
and intentional acts of their children. In my opinion, yes parents should be held legally for the
act of their children. For example if the young adults causes any damages to the people
property because of reckless driving and injuring others parents should held financially liable.
It is fine if it is damage to property, what if the act of child causes physical damage to person
or loss of life?. It is parent’s responsibility to take care about their children. They should keep
watching his/her acts and tell them what is wrong and what is right. If they are neglected this
and do not look after the children then they should be definitely held legally for their
negligence.

In my capacity as a father to two children, I feel the bottom line is that parents must take a
keen interest in the upbringing of their children. Teaching our children the difference between
right and wrong is our responsibility and should not be delegated to some else. When it comes
to raising children, we all need to walk our talk and teach by example.

35. Some people think placing advertisements in schools is a great resource for public
schools that need additional funding, but others think it exploits children by treating
them as a captive audience for corporate sponsors. Choose which position you
most agree with and discuss why you chose that position. Support your point of
view with details from your own experiences, observations or reading.

Advertisements have been an inseparable part of any corporate businesses to attract potential
customers to expand their businesses. On the contrary, in my opinion placing advertisements
inside public schools in order to lure juvenile mind is certainly not a good idea to promote
commercial business.

To begin with, schools are the home for immature children where they come to learn academic
as well as moral lessons. These children can be tempted to do any activities easily therefore
putting advertisements inside schools may impact pejoratively on such students. For example,
a child might break his hands and legs by imitating and reproducing the action pose shown on
the violent blockbuster movie advertisements. Moreover, many advertisements nowadays
displays sexually motivated explicit materials and other adult themes which would captivate
young mind to delineate juvenile delinquency indulging into an anti-social behaviour such as
raping, smoking, vandalism and other heinous crimes. Further, these children might tempt to
spend hefty sum of money to buy the mendaciously advertised unfruitful products which not
only hampers their academic activities but also largely effects on their brain development and
ethical behaviour.

On the contrary, advertisements are good source of funding for the public schools who always
find themselves hard to manage their financial cash flow. Corporate houses often pay a huge
sum of money when they place advertisements inside schools as young school children can
easily be motivated to go after their products. Besides, many advertisements targeted to kids
such as Toothpaste, Shower gel and Detol are espousing to bring awareness on children to
wash their hands before eating foods and after using toilets or brushing teeth early in the
morning and before going to bed.

Therefore, to recapitulate, advertisements are efficient and effortless source of money for the
public schools however schools management must act prudently to monitor continuously
students’ behaviour and choose suitable advertisements to put inside schools so that children
do not go astray.

36. In some countries around the world, voting is compulsory. Do you agree with the
notion of compulsory voting? !f voting is compulsory in a democratic society, what
are some conclusions we can draw about the nature of democracy?

In a democratic country, making voting compulsory will break the rules of democracy. Some
people believe compulsory voting takes away the freedom of people whether they should or
not. However, it is argued that voting is one of the civic duties, just like paying taxes.

When voting is made unavoidable, inevitably people tend to pay more attention to political
issues, which is happening in the country. On the other hand, if voting is optional, people pay
less attention towards the problems in the country. In addition, compulsory voting makes
people more responsible and helps them to work towards the welfare of the country.

Furthermore, compulsory registration and voting enhances the critical evaluation of the
representatives. If people fails to vote, there could be chances for the candidates to win with
much fewer votes than a majority of eligible votes. For instance, in countries like United
States, regardless of turnouts, candidates can still win with fewer votes.

To put it in a nutshell, a voter is compelled to vote not for the benefits for others, but for his
own welfare. Voting is one of the mandatory duties of a citizen like paying taxes and
education. It is the duty of every citizen to select a trustworthy leader.
37. Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Some people think that
polygamy would make women happiness. Use specific reasons and examples to
support your answer.

Several people believe that marriage is union between man and woman. If man has wife more
one wife, it is polygamy. It had become famous in this era. I will totally agree with the
statement that polygamy has many benefits, and I give you some justifications about that
statement.

First of all, several societies want to do polygamy. Because they believe having many
children, they will have happiness. In 2014, Mr. smith is the man who have many wives. He is
from America, and he has been family for ten-year. He also owns nine-wives even thought he
has numerous children, he can be shared him time for his children and wives. So, he believes
polygamy going to bring happiness for their wives/family.

Also, there are many men, who are able to be married more than one-women, they want to
help women. As we know that there are numerous women who are single-parent in this earth.
So, men have to help woman that is single-parent such as inviting them to be married with
men. As a result, there is not women who become single-parent. Thus, this is the other
advantages from polygamy.

Finally, polygamy is way to get positive advantage. For an illustration, a younger girl who does
not have husband, and we are going to invite her to be married. I believe certainly the woman
happiness because there is a man who wants to accept her again. There are many ways to
make women happiness, the one of manner is polygamy.

In a nutshell, I deliberate both of women will be happiness when a man wants to be invitation
to marry and polygamy.
