SOLUTION

Out of given two illustrative charts, the first one is telling us the possible reasons for adults to
go for further study and the second one is revealing the idea of its cost like how it should be
shared.

Primary reasons for adults to study are they want to gain qualification along with they are
keenly interested in subjects, and then they choose to study. Several other reasons are also
there like it provides help in current job, adds opportunities of promotions and somewhere
they enjoy the learning phenomenon, these three factors attract almost equal proportion of
students towards themselves. Comparatively, a small percentage of adults also decide to
study because they want to meet new people and they want to make themselves able to
change their current job.

The concept of sharing the cost of adult education is quite interesting because as per it, cost’s
40% should come from student’s side and 35% should come from employer’s side while 25%
from the taxpayers.

The idea of further study is a brilliant one and adults choose to do so because of their own
interest and want to strengthen their qualifications.

A proper schematic diagram is given about the reliable forecasting of weather by Australian
bureau of meteorology like how they collect information and how they further process it and
how finally they meaningfully broadcast it to millions of users via three popular channels.

The whole process is divided into four meaningful channels likewise incoming information
platform, analysis & forecasting station, preparing the broadcast and finally the broadcast. For
incoming information they use satellite, radars and drifting buoy and the information received
by these three platforms if further processed at terminal two i.e. analysis & forecasting one
where satellite photo, radar screen and synoptic charts are used which gives data to prepare
the broadcast on station 3 and then finally data is communicated via television, radi o and
recorded announcements to general public.

In a nutshell, the whole process is purposefully planned and automated to ensure the
accurate broadcasting of the possible weather updates every single day.

The liking of fast foods in Britain is given to us likewise how much as per income standard per
week a person spends on them and secondly, we are nicely equipped with the changes in the
choice of fast foods for a span of twenty years.

Hamburgers are the first choice for high and average income slabs. Other two options are
equally liked by high ones. Whereas, fish and chips are on number two and pizza is at place
three for average ones. As far as the low income slab is concerned, they prefer fish and chips
most while hamburger is their second choice and least they love to have pizza’s on their
plate.

On the other hand, the consumption of these three fast foods is showing a dramatic change
over the period of twenty years. Likewise in the 1970’s, fish and chips was the first choice but
in 1990, the chair of head is taken by hamburgers. As hamburgers and pizzas are on a
significant growth move but fishes and chips are losing their hold continuously.

Hamburgers are liked by rich and middle class people and also, the consumption of
hamburgers are increasing considerably every year among Britain fats food lovers.

The exceptional development picture of a village Chorleywood near London is given to us.
The evolution of establishment of residential areas is presented in it.

In the beginning in 1868, there were few residential areas but with the establishment of
railway station in 1909, people started living there as it got c onnected with other areas of
London and opportunities of growth had been started in the region. Within thirty years, a large

population as found its home in nearby areas of railway station and main roads. The means of
transportation are primary to develop any region. Likewise, in Chorleywood, it happened with
the progress in the means of transportation. With the passage of time, around in 1970’s when
the network of railways and roads was much expanded, people started establishing
themselves in the suburbs. The basic thing which is coming out in this picture is with the
progress in transportation and inert connectivity among the village, people found it worthy to
get settled in Chorleywood.

With the passage of time and with availability of interconnectivity and connectivity with outside
areas Chorleywood found more people to choose it a worthy destination.

For a span of eleven years, the percentage of households in Britain is clearly given with the
choices of consumer durables they have made during this period. Figures are quite
informative and presenting statistics on how choices have changed during eleven years.

Television and vacuum cleaners were at helm while central heating and refrigerators have
shown a strong presence in Britain houses and people took them on serious priority. With
same fashion, washing machines have also become a utility item for consumers. With the
evolution of telephones, people shown a keen interest in having a telephone at their home
and quantity almost doubled within eleven years. Dishwasher was out of regular trend and
was available in few houses. Trend of videos was new and it started with a good number.

People of England are quite sensible in choosing items of domestic use and they are more
open to things of primary importance like television, refrigerator, washing machine and
telephones.

The given chart is expressing clearly the amount of time in a week spent by different
employment status people on leisure activities in the year 1998-99. The presentation is
informative and having impact in giving a concrete idea on choices of people for leisure
activities.

Males are playing a leading role in investing their time in leisure activities. The males and
females with unemployed and retired employment status are the top rankers in the list.
Females who are housewives, employed part time and employed full times are at second,

third and fourth position respectively. While males with full times work life spent almost half
times on leisure activities than males with unemployed and retired status.

From the chart it is quite clear that leisure activities are important part of life and they become
more important for people who are free because of retirement or jobless. Certainly, people
(males and females both) with work also prefer to enjoy their time.

A clear statistic representation with two tables is shown to us. The first table is telling us the
purpose of travelling to abroad by people in UK during 1994 to 1998 while the second table is
sharing the information of preferred destinations all around the globe by UK people in the
same period.

Primary reason to travel abroad is making holidays memorable and meaningful. Business and
meeting to friends and relatives are on second and third priority of people in UK. There are
other reasons also due to which people visit abroad. Except the year 1995 when the number
decreased relatively, every year the number of visits is increasing gradually.

Western Europe is the area where most of UK people spend their days and they love to be
the part of Western European climate and comparatively, North America is not a promising
choice of UK people even other areas of the world are visited by them than North America.

Holiday is the primary reason and Western Europe is the most preferred choice for UK people
as the trends of five years are revealing.

Data of people under imprisonment from 1930 to 1980 within five countries is shared. There
are noticeable changes in the figures of people in jails during this span.

Great Britain is presenting a respectful image with almost least number of people in jails.
However, the percentage is increasing in UK but it is quite low relatively. In Australia, trend is
always changing like it came down first and in 1960 it went up and then in 1980, it again came
down. New Zealand is experiencing a considerable fall in this figure however it increased in
between but even at the end it did not come at the initial level. The position of US is
worrisome. It topped the chart four times with substantial number of people in prison. Canada
is helping US in this with a large population in prison and the condition is improving but not
much in the last fifty years.

Crystal clear representation via charts is given to us about number of Japanese tourists going
abroad annually and how much Australia contributes in it every year. Both charts are showing
data for 10 years span.

The number is increasing gradually every year except the year 1991 when it decreased then
from next year onwards, it again acquired its previous level and remained constant for two
years and from 1994, it again embarked going to increased level every year. Means to say,
people are opening their minds every year towards going abroad and exploring the outside
world.

In the beginning, share of Australia is not much but every year the proportion got strength and
come on higher value than previous one. For year 1989, it reduced just for that year but after
that it shown a rise and almost with constant rate the share is increasing every year and in
last, in year 1993, it again came down little bit. Overall, Australia is on constant rise from the
side of Japanese tourists.

How much they spent on six consumer goods annually, it is shown meaningfully with chart for
four European countries. Germany, Italy, France and Britain are there in the consideration.

Britain is a country were all these six items are purchased with maximum interest and
eventually, they are the top rankers of this chart in all categories. France shows great
welcome for photographic films, toys and CD’s but their choice for perfumes, tennis racquets
and personal stereos are moderate. Italy shows almost equal propensity for first four items
while for last two, it is very curious to buy. Unlike Britain, Germany is showing a downward
trend in interest in items when we move from personal stereos to photographic films.

Britain is exceptionally passionate about buying toys and photographic films while personal
stereos are an item which is almost equally liked by all four countries natives. Means to say, it
is an item of common use or general interest.

Effectively it is cleared to us that how industrialized and developing countries differ from each
other on the platform of their participation in education and science. The data is compiled for
a span of ten years.

First, let us see this difference on average years of schooling scale, from 1980 to 1990,
developing countries have shown a little interest while industrialized countries took quite good
interest as they mean it.

Secondly, from 1980 to 1990, number of scientists has grown slightly high in developing
countries whereas this number shown a huge rise in industrialized ones. There is a big gap in
the number of scientists in both countries.

Ironically, from 1980 to 1990, the investment on R&D by developing countries has come down
while industrialized countries are strongly focusing on adding the amount on their R&D
projects. Industrialized nations are getting results of this prime importance that they are giving
to R&D sector.

The basic thing which is coming out from this analysis is industrialized countries are giving
inputs meaningfully to enjoy their developments and they value education as well as
participation in science based innovations.

The issue of unemployment is a serious one. This issue has clearly illustrated via a chart for
Japan and USA for a span of six years. The given data is shown with respect to percentage of
total work force.

It is quite interesting to observe that unemployment has reduced meaningfully in USA while it
is becoming a serious problem for Japan. In the beginning, in 1993, japan had 2.5 percent
unemployed people while at the same time, in USA situation was very tough as it had 7.0
percent unemployed hands. With certain fluctuations, over the years, japan has undergone
major changes in the rate of unemployment as people are losing jobs and getting
unemployed. On the contrary, USA is focusing on improving things and creating opportunities
for people to work.

Finally, the crux of the matter is USA has done a commendable work to improve the
employment rates whereas Japan needs to do the same for its natives.

An informative table is shared with us on poverty like the kinds of families who are facing the
challenges under the sword of poverty. The country is Australia and year is 1999. Around
eleven percent families are having the trouble by poverty.

The problem of poverty is severe with families in which single person without children and
sole parents are living and they are facing it like a challenge. They collectively constitute the
forty percent of total households affected.

Then couples with children are also in pain and undergoing the bad economic conditions.
They form twelve percent of the total effected population. Whereas, single aged person and
couple with no children are collectively form thirteen percent of the total figure. Least effected
are the families with aged couple at home as they are only four percent of the overall number.

As a conclusion, I can speak the issue of poverty is major one and it is profound in sole
parents and single person with no children sort of families.

We are nicely equipped with a graph and a pie chart where graph is showing the electricity
demands of a typical summer and winter day in England while the pie chart is telling us about
how this demand is distributed in various applications in a home. Data is of huge importance.

Obviously, the demand is more in winter days. In winters, for first three hours demands goes
up then it comes down for next five hours and then again, it climbs to its previous highest
level for four hours and then it becomes like constant for next seven hours and then in night it
reaches its peak level of 45000 units and then for the rest of the day it declines.

While in summers, for first nine hours, it goes down and after that it increases and touches
the optimum level of summers and with a curvature like pattern t again comes down for few
hours and then becomes almost constant with slight increase and again it shows a curvature
increase.

As far as the consumption of electricity is concerned, for heating purposes maximum


electricity is used in households. Almost it alone constitutes the half proportion. Almost equal
amount is used for entertainment and house cleaning applications, means to say, they both
consumes around fifteen percent energy. Food making and washing applications take
seventeen percent electricity.

The given charts are effectively illustrating the number of visits by UK people and visits in UK
by other country people along with the preferences shown by UK people in terms of countries
to visit in the year 1999.

A noticeable thing coming from first chart is UK people have cultured to move abroad in last
20 years while people from other countries are not coming in UK with that rate and speed.
From 1979 to 1986, both parameters (visits in UK and visit by UK people) were increased
slightly but after that they kept on increasing and touched their final values. Like visits by UK
people took a value of 52 million annual while visits in UK took value of 28 million people.

UK people are passionate about France and apart from this; they are very interested in going
to Spain. Interestingly, their choice for USA, Greece and Turkey goes down respectively.
Means to say, turkey is less liked by them.

Almost four times more people from UK have started going abroad in past forty years and
France is their favorite destination.

The given charts are of great importance as they are telling us about the main reasons of
study by different age group students and with this it is also given that how much support they
get from the employer at different levels.

As the age goes higher the main reason of study becomes personal interest of the student in
the study while career is the main reason of study for who study at younger stages.
Accordingly, students fewer than 26 study 80% of times for career whereas students over 49
study 70% of times because of interest.

The scenario of support from employer is quite interesting likewise students under 26 receive
around 60% help while proportion of help goes down when age goes up. Ironically, after 40
years of age if someone is interested to become a student then employer’s support again
rises.

production. A cocoon within 16 days becomes a moth and further the cycle of egg giving
continues.

Talking about silk cloth production, by boiling cocoon in water we get unwind threads of length
300 to 900m and then we twist them together to make them strong and also at that stage we
go for dying the threads to give them different colors and with this we get threads for weaving

The factors which are responsible in making agricultural land less productive worldwide are
given to us via pie chart and effect of these factors has shown via table in three main regions
of the world in 1990s.

Overgrazing is the leading factor that causing the land infertile. Secondary factor is
deforestation and over-cultivation is so close to it. If with proportion we talk about these
16 FOR ANY KIND OF IELTS PREPARATION HELP, www.ieltsfreehomedelivery.blogspot.com 9996605415
factors then overgrazing, deforestation and over-cultivation contributes in land degradation
35%, 30% and 28% respectively. Role of other miscellaneous factors are also there.

The table given is closely focusing on effect of these factors in North America, Europe and
Oceania regions of the world. Likewise, deforestation is major issue in Europe while it is not a
major one in other two areas. Over-cultivation is again more in Europe whereas North
America is also facing the same issue with less severity and parts of Australia and New
Zealand are free from it. Overgrazing is badly affecting Oceania while Europe is also getting
affected by it up to some extent whereas North America has also symptoms of this issue.

Europe is the area worldwide which is primarily facing the challenge of less productive
agricultural land.

The three given pie charts are clearly sharing the information about variation in annual
spending of a school over the period of twenty years. School is UK-based school.

Teachers’ salaries are the main area where school is investing maximum money. Likewise in
1981, it was 40% while in 1991, it was 50% and in 2001, it is 45%. In beginning furniture was
important then in middle it lost its importance but in recent years it is again becoming an
essential area that attracts appreciable investment. Investment on resources like books
increased from 15% to 20% from 1981 to 1991 but in 2001 it came down to a level of 9%.
Somewhere, school is giving importance to insurance because its share is increasing likewise
first it rose from 2% to 3% and in 2001, it reached to 8%. One more area is there where
school is investing a lot i.e. non-teaching staff salaries which is coming down every decade
likewise in 1981, it was 28% and in 1991, it remained only 22% and amazingly, in 2001, it
reached to a level of 15%.

Means to say, instead of huge changes in investment areas still salary of teachers, furniture
and non-teaching staff salaries are the major areas where money is used.

By the help of pie charts, we are clearly updated with ages of the population’s data of two
countries Italy and Yemen with actual figures of 2000 and with projected figures of 2050.

In 2000 the half population of Yemen is constituted by children while in Italy children are only
14.3 %. And the projection of 2050 shows that in Yemen, children will be considerably
reduced to 37% while in Italy children relatively less reduction will be observed in children.
Middle aged people are 46.5% in Yemen in 2000 while they are 61.6 in Italy that shows Italy
has more working hands. Surprisingly, in 2050, in Yemen, population of middle aged people
will go high with a level of 57.3% whereas in Italy, people of this age group will be far less with
a proportion of 46.2%. Grey population in Yemen in 2000 is much less with a level of 3.6%
while in Italy; they are quite considerable with a percentage of 24.1. The expected projection

A data of energy consumption in USA is shared with us in 2008 for a span of 50 years where
first 28 years data is real and later 22 years data is expected.

The most eye catching point is petrol and oil were taking maximum load in the beginning and
also they are at helm in 2030. These both have shown ups and downs in the first fifteen years
but after than they are on a regular increase. Natural gas was at place second while coal was
at third place but finally at the end they have interchanged their positions however the
difference in their usage is almost same as it was in beginning. The modern alternatives
likewise nuclear, solar and hydropower constitute a limited presence in the market and yes,
there is a positive increase in their usage but it is not significant as compare to petrol and oil,
coal and natural gas.

In nut shell, petrol and oil gas are the key sources as far as energy needs are concerned
while coal and natural gas are occupying second and third places.

There are many different types of music in the world today. Why do we need music? Is the
traditional music of a country more important than the international music that is heard
everywhere nowadays?

Introduction

Opening statement

Music is a medicine that refreshes the mind. Music is a teacher that teaches without giving
the impression to us like we are being taught by it. As the human race has expanded its
horizons, it is quite natural to have a huge variety of expressions in musical terms. There
are hundreds types of music all over the world. Artists are creating wonders every day. Music
is life in itself. Music fellows serve the world so creatively and joyfully. I would like to
explicate it at length in following paragraphs.

Body para 1

We need music as it charges us, it provides us new meanings, and it enlightens us if it is


based on true and strong cultural foundations. Music connects us. Music makes us wider
and open in terms of thinking, expression, feelings, knowledge and self-realization.
Music is a great way of connecting to our own selves in a positive and peaceful way.

Body Para 2

We have a huge range in music because of enormous diversity in the cultures of human
existence all over the world. We have traditional touch based music along with international
ones. Traditional music explains the minuteness of the culture belonging to a particular

26 FOR ANY KIND OF IELTS PREPARATION HELP, www.ieltsfreehomedelivery.blogspot.com 9996605415


area. It is very imperative to care traditional artists. They are our legacies. They are
preserving our cultures for the future generations.

On the other hand, international music has developed a lot and it is showing amazing
possibilities to traditional artists also. It is of great value if we establish a productive
correlation between both musical tastes. They both have ideas and ability to touch the
hearts of masses. Both music types have their own pluses and minuses for each other.

Conclusion

Type 1

After the overall analysis, it can be concluded that International music is full of limitless
touches of creativity and purity but at the same time, one must bother his traditional and
cultural music.

Type 2

It is our urgent responsibility to foster our traditional folks and encourage them to learn
from international rock stars. Music has no boundary so every artist should be welcomed at
every corner of the world.

Should wealthy nations be required to share their wealth among poorer nations by providing
such things as food and education? Or it is the responsibility of the governments of poorer
nations to look after their citizens themselves?

Introduction (general fact + paraphrasing + thesis statement)

If one is rich then it is obviously his duty to share the secrets of his richness among
others. This situation is also aptly applicable to wealthy nations who have strengthen
themselves over the years and presented themselves as the assets for the whole world. As
the question of sharing food and educational resources is concerned, surely, wealthy nations
should initiate this noble practice. Sharing is a powerful activity which actually strengthens
both parties.

A huge step towards development of poorer nations can be taken by enriching them in the
area of education as Nelson Mandela nicely elaborated this point when he said that to
enhance a person, educate him. With the help in education, rich nations will open the way of
long term and permanent prosperity for poorer nations.

27 FOR ANY KIND OF IELTS PREPARATION HELP, www.ieltsfreehomedelivery.blogspot.com 9996605415


Food is also a major area where poorer nations need real help and by taking strong actions,
wealthy nations can truly develop the needy countries in the field of basic food security of
their citizens. Both areas are quite important to focus to elevate the masses of poorer nations.

One should focus beyond the help of wealthy nations for needy ones; it is also a primary
responsibility of the governments of poorer nations to think deeply about how they can make
themselves strong in basic walks of development. Apart from taking help in food and
education, poorer countries must focus on making long term growth policies for their citizens
with the worthy guidelines of wealthy nations.

Concept of helping poorer nations in food and education sectors by wealthy nations is of great
importance in all dimensions and creates a win-win platform for both parties.

News editors decide what to broadcast on television and what to print in newspapers. What
factors do you think influence these decisions? Do we become used to bad news? Would it
be better if more good news was reported?

It is always better to monitor news before it goes to public domain. As India is a grand country
with a huge viewers and readers base for media. Somewhere news presenters have a key
responsibility of reflecting the world in a respectful, clear, meaningful and informative way.
The process of collecting news and presenting it with proper processing to the world is very
labor-cum-care intensive work. It is quite obvious to have a close check on final news those
are going in the masses.

There are several factors that highly contribute in this regard likewise the popularity of the
stuff among viewers and readers, social relevance of the material, meaningful insight of the
work and effect of the matter after publishing. Nicely this work is being done by news editors
on different platforms in various categories. Of course, it is of huge worth to monitor the
quality of the stuff before allowing it for the common man.

As it is a trend that one is very much vulnerable to negative news and somewhere this
psychology is purposefully exploited by the news editors. On T.V. and print media, it has now
become a trend that present negative news and become popular. This trend is not a good one
for a responsible nation and for an ethical media organization. We need to reconsider the kind
of news that we broadcast in the public. Certainly, it will create powerful impact on the social
psychology and will bring a productive mindset in the people. Media should take active
participation in sharing positive, powerful, meaningful and enlightening news more in the
public to maintain its respectful position in the eyes of the people.

The ideas of having a single career is becoming an old fashioned one. The new fashion will
be to have several careers or ways of earning money and further education will be something
that contains throughout life.

The mindset of having more than one career is certainly a great mindset and it enriches the
person with different types of life experiences. Today, people are getting clearly the trap of
security within a career and now choosing to explore life in an open way with an ideology of
making new experiments with career. Obviously, with options of career, one becomes more
exploring and creative.

Moreover, the mentality behind the meaning of career has also changed, earlier people were
looking career as a way of earning livelihood but now people are curious to fill their lives with
meanings and continuous learning along with positive contribution for mankind. People are
choosing to serve mankind with the help of career. They are defining careers as a ladder to
explore their own powers and talents.

People of today are very much excited about challenging careers. They are highly aimed at
things that make them stretch and elevate themselves. The concept of finding careers that
suits and fills the inner desire of a person is really powerful. History is evident that when a
person starts looking for a career that makes him happy from physical, spiritual, financial,
personal and social aspects, he naturally lives a fulfilled life.

Yes, it is also meaningful to understand the true meaning of education. Earlier people used to
think that education is an outer game and it is all about learning external world but today
mindset of people have changed and they have started connecting education with exploration
of their inner resources on consistent basis.

So the powerful concept of having more than one career option is commendable and it
enables a person to explore his inner resources beyond the predictions.

“Fatherhood ought to be emphasized as much as motherhood. The idea that women are
solely responsible for deciding whether or not to have babies leads on to the idea that they
are also responsible for bringing the children up.”

To what extent do you agree or disagree with the opinion?

Father has his unique role while mother has her own vital role in the meaningful upbringing of
a child. Both parties have responsibility to give their child an exciting perspective towards life
as he grows up. Somewhere, the huge responsibility is always played by the mother while

29 FOR ANY KIND OF IELTS PREPARATION HELP, www.ieltsfreehomedelivery.blogspot.com 9996605415


father is considered the main earning hand of the family and because of this, he is kept away
from the minute responsibilities of children nurturing.

There are several factors that decide like whether the key role will be played by the mother or
the father. In a family, its earning power, educational background, openness to new cultures,
and mutual coordination among each other, family legacy and size of the family are very
much responsible in telling that whether the father will be the vital or the mother will be the
caption.

Males and females both have their perception levels regarding how life works and how things
contribute in life at different stages and they both are totally capable in giving their child new
and meaningful eyes. Mothers give birth to babies and do all necessary physical sacrifices for
their children just to ensure a smooth arrival of baby in the world. Mothers do grand
contribution in the birth of a child but it never means that they are solely responsible for all
decisions regarding the future of the child. It will be quite meaningful if mothers and fathers
create a significant balance in the upbringing activity.

It is like mutual cooperation situation as they both are in the game of family evolution and they
both can play amazingly great if they respect each other’s role with genuine concern. Here,
fathers are required to take the main stage in this whole process so that mothers can be
helped significantly in all this.

“Prevention is better than cure.”

Out of a country’s health budget, a large proportion should be diverted from treatment to
spending on health education and preventive measures.

To what extent do you agree or disagree with the statement?

A sound health reveals a well-educated and worthy portrait of a person. Out of all precious
blessings of life, health is the primary one. One must not overlook his health. When we call
health is important obviously we point out certain lifestyle ways and eating habits that matters
most in maintaining a strong and active body.

Certainly, I am agreeing the concept of proactiveness. One should be proactive in his


approach. One should be crystal clear in is mind that he is going to live in such a manner that
gifts him a fitness based and active lifestyle.

handicap but when he has a choice to do or not to do the things that adversely affect him, he
must show a proactive approach.

A country should consciously invest substantial money on expanding health awareness and
elevating the native’s mindset towards the healthy lifestyle because by doing so, a country
can save billions and those billions can be productively invested into other meaningful areas
for an exponential growth of that nation.

Without capital punishment (the death penalty) our lives are less secure and crimes of
violence increase. Capital punishment is essential to control violence in society.

To what extent do you agree or disagree with the opinion?

Every coin has two facets. As far as proper controlling of crimes is concerned, there are
several factors that matters most. Likewise, the criminal’s background, the magnitude of
crime, social effect of crime, damage to the victim, intentions of the criminal, impression of law
and order of the area are the genuine factors that contribute a lot.

Certainly, a penalty of capital punishment is must if the crime really does impact the mindset
of masses badly. In that situation, it becomes urgent to leave an impression for others as well
that such things will not be tolerable in future. Because, law is there to empower the nation, to
strengthen the faith of its citizens in the system and to safely serve the nation. It must be very
clear that if severity of a crime is at peak then decision like capital punishment is quite
justified.

Exactly, the decision of capital punishment is inspired with the approach of leaving a fear in
the minds of people about law and order. Up to certain extent, it is obviously right to behave
like this for the uneducated and unaware natives of a country to maintain their safety and
security level.

There is another possible approach for controlling violence in the society and that is sending
the criminals in a tough lifestyle where there mind could be washed and they can be turned
up into meaningful approach however this requires a focused and well planned action but
impacts will be astounding and mass thinking touchable.

A country should go for capital punishment like death penalty for severe cr imes that
powerfully contribute in disturbing the peace of the nation but it also have some alternative

The position of women in society has changed markedly in the last twenty years. Many of the
problems young people now experience, such as juvenile delinquency; arise from the fact that
many married women now work and not at home to care for their children.

To what extent do you agree or disagree with the opinion?

One cannot deny from the truth that position of women has transformed totally in the society
and it is bringing certain positives and negatives. When we put light on the negatives then
things like lost childhood of family kids and involvement of family kids in unproductive and
society harmful things, primarily come into the mind. Somewhere the culture that women
empowerment and active involvement of females has brought a meaningless attitude of family
kids for society.

It is of huge worth to have a mother at home specially to guide and to nurture the kids in a
meaningful way. Somewhere, when kids do not get love and attention from their own family
they start thinking about means of getting attention and certainly love from outside. Feelings
of such kinds do not come in a day, it takes years to make kids ready to commit such socially
harmful stuff and making them available for youngsters crimes and bad things.

Mainly the thing responsible for such behavior of adults is lack of unconditional love from their
own family and role of mother in imparting devoted love to her kids is primary. When a kid
gets respect and love from his mother, he automatically understands the meaning of life. He
grows up with such feelings like I should do something good for others and I should do some
creative things for my country but when these things are absent from his upbringing, he
naturally incline himself to violence and addictions.

There is a mandatory need of mothers love in the life of children to make them aware about
powerful feelings like respect for others life, spreading love in the society and respect for
others safety and security.

Popular events like football world cup and other international sporting occasions are essential
in easing international tensions and releasing patriotic emotions in a safe way.

To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?

32 FOR ANY KIND OF IELTS PREPARATION HELP, www.ieltsfreehomedelivery.blogspot.com 9996605415


It is quite imperative to consider the impact which international sports events create among
participating countries. Closeness between people of two countries breeds emotional
understanding of each other’s true feelings. Once they start interacting or meeting to each
other on such events naturally they realize that there is nothing in between us which is hostile
apart from utter misunderstandings.

Certainly, the atmosphere such events generate, is beyond any national boundaries and
religious limits. Sometimes, it happens that people start appreciating other countries just
because of their sportsmen and their sports spirit. Even, it is noticed almost in every game
that in the winning moments, everyone watches the game by completely associating
themselves with the true spirit of victory and defeat.

Because of their forming histories and political reasons, there are always tensions going on in
between many countries and it becomes essential in such environment that there should be
some platform where people can interact and know each other. Because the common man of
any country does not keep any ill feeling for the common man of other country. It is media and
political people that look the situation in other ways and fills the minds of common man with
worry and insecurity. Within such climate, sports and international events are a panacea to
ease the tensions.

Meaningful and of huge importance goes to popular events in lightening the tensions and
heavy emotions that people worldwide carry for other countries.

When a country develops its technology, the traditional skills and ways of life die out. It is
pointless to try and keep them alive.

To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?

It is quite obvious that for the arrival of new old has to go. There is no bad lie in this as human
beings are continuously evolving themselves. To make progress, one has to redefine the
things in non-stop manner. It is certainly true that when a country plans out to grow in the field
of its basic infrastructure and facilities with the help of technology then simply it has to empty
itself from old ways of doing same things.

Now the question is, whether this evolution costs much or it is quite compulsory to move
ahead. As far as, progress is making life effective and complete, it is totally acceptable and
adaptable. With passage of time and population boom somewhere, it has become necessary
to update our systems of doing things. People are now looking at fast ways of getting facilities
and they are not in a mood to wait even for routine things of life. To cope up the needs of
people, a huge emergence of newness in technology requires.

At present times, systems of providing basic facilities has become so fast and accurate and
somewhere they are serving masses properly as well. Yes, the concept of dying traditional
ways is also of worth because somewhere old ways give us the ideas for reinventing the
things. And also, one must respect the oldness to celebrate and explore the endless
possibilities that lie in the new.

To keep the old ways alive is completely needless but taking constant ideas from traditional
theories to innovate the system is quite imperative.

In many countries children are engaged in some kind of paid work. Some people regard this
as completely wrong, while others consider it as valuable work experience, important for
learning and taking responsibility.

To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?

Very true it is, like when a child works, he sees the world in a different and responsible way.
Doing work installs certain meaningful human values in children. Both aspects are associated
with the concept of children paid working.

The first perspective is about the positives of this situation. Likewise, children become more
open, creative, worthy, dutiful, disciplined, cultured, responsible and contributing towards the
society. They get to know about how to survive and how to grow in the world. They make
themselves self-dependent. They buy freedom when they work with earning money and
earning experience opportunities. They learn the language of real world. They learn the power
of efforts, the power of consistent growth and the power of gradual learning in long term
evolution.

Somewhere, this culture also inspires children to become more open and interactive with the
outside world in quite young age. They start thinking in mature manner for the world and for
their role in the world.

Yes, there is also a second road to this situation and this is about making the children
matured people quite early and losing their childhood joys and colors. Education becomes
very rare for a child if he has deeply immersed in earning atmosphere and later, he might end
up into a low paying job lifetime. Stress is also more in children who work and study at same
time. Natural lifestyle is quite rare for such children and somewhere it disturbs their progress
as a worthy and asset-like person at later stage.

Situation is having both aspects still the one with paid work that provides an essential life skill
quite early is more attractive.

Improvements in health, education and trade are essential for the development of
poorer nations. However, the governments of richer nations should take more
responsibility for helping the poorer nations in such areas. To what extent do you
agree or disagree with this opinion?

To develop any nation, it is quite essential to strengthen its basic body’s like health,
education, technology and trade. Standing firmly in case of a nation requires a lot effort on
basics. If a country is due to any reason is unable to focus on these fronts then its disaster is
guaranteed. Now the question of help comes. Wealthy nations are wealthy because they
have given time to themselves for becoming strong entities in these basic infrastructural
areas.

Certainly, governments of developed nations should come forward to establish a strong


fundamental development model in needy countries. Of course, there are platforms globally
which are making things better for poorer countries every day. The thing is clear that if
wealthy countries focus more on making needy countries strong then an atmosphere of
peace, mutual respect, global growth and strong sense of one world can be established.

Policies of developed countries can be adopted within the close monitoring of their officials to
empower the economy of a poor country. Somewhere, the basic purpose of globalization is
same likewise countries will make each other strong and take full advanta ge of each other’s
expertise. There are resources available in poorer countries, those are waiting for people of
developed countries to make them globally useful and expecting to get powerful returns for
their countries.

Sharing is always better and wealthy countries are better in many ways and surely, they must
undertake the responsibility of paving the way for needy nations and they should do this with
integrity, with a sense of cooperation and with the vision of global growth.

35 FOR ANY KIND OF IELTS PREPARATION HELP, www.ieltsfreehomedelivery.blogspot.com 9996605415


As far as media platforms for communicating information are concerned, there are few
important parameters associated to it. The medium should be of interest to masses, it should
be interactive and it should cover the information in an interesting manner.

Throughout the course of history, films have been a powerful media. A lot of creativity and
technology is amazingly mixed together that entertains and empowers the audience. Films
attract the masses. They emotionally and intellectually convey the message. Almost every
single person is connected to films in some way.

A second large channel of sharing information with the crowd is books. Books contain the
entire development of human race. They amazingly educate as well as entertain. Books share
culture, ideas, thinking, progress and evolution. Every single person comes in contact with
books either at school level or throughout out his life due to his interest in lifelong learning.

A very creative and active platform of sharing updates and developments in the course of
human history is through theatre. Theatre always has been a source of deep motivation as
well as a clear communication. Artists do wonder when they perform and along with their
acting the viewer’s empower themselves.

It is very essential to choose an interactive communication channel to get updates and


motivation about the world around us. Of course there are several platforms to perform this
task. But the power of films, books and theatre is eye opening. As they educate us with
entertainment and give no feeling of classroom teaching.

Happiness is considered very important in life. Why it is difficult to define?

What factors are important in achieving happiness?

Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from y our own knowledge
or experience.

Happiness in not everything in life but it is the main thing of life. With happiness, everything
looks great and without it everything looks incomplete. One strange thing about it is, one
cannot define happiness in a line or in a specific ways because happiness is a combination of
many things. Again, it depends and varies person to person that how one interprets the
meaning of it.

Certainly, happiness is a combination of factors like what a person is chasing in life, how he is
looking at life, how much satisfied he is from his works, what kind of family relationship he is
enjoying, how he is looking at his role in the world and his personal awareness of his inner
power. One more interesting aspect of happiness is it changes time to time likewise if a

36 FOR ANY KIND OF IELTS PREPARATION HELP, www.ieltsfreehomedelivery.blogspot.com 9996605415


person is establishing himself then somewhere his happiness is associated with his efforts
and his outcome in that endeavor.

When we talk about the primary principles of getting happiness, we come to the points like
one should have a vision in his life, one should be socially responsible, one should always
learning about his career, one should be active and polite in his routine life, one should
always willing to help others and one should be always focused on getting better every day
from his own previous records. Happiness is a way of life. It is hidden in the philosophy of a
person’s approach towards life. Happiness is something which is hard to generalize but still
one can make efforts to define certain things which matters in getting happiness when we talk
about happiness at large.

Happiness is the back bone of a fulfilled life and it should not only be the goal of life but it
should be the living philosophy of life.

Creative artists should always be given the freedom to express their own ideas (in
words, pictures, music or film) in whichever way they wish. There should be no
government restrictions on what they do.

To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?

Artists are the living angels on earth. It is so true, artists communicate feelings of masses with
love, creativity and respectfully. Every artist serves his art by actively pursuing it with passion,
dedication, respect and sense of unconditional devotion.

A free hand for artists is must. As the artist is part of society, they should be fly like open birds
in the sky of their creative fields. With freedom, creativity explodes. With personal liberty of
expression, an artist put his ultimate art in his work. True artists are true because they always
keep this in mind that they are servers of their art as well as servers of mankind. They
perform to love, to open the minds, to respect mankind and to salute the great god who has
gifted them with immense talent.

Limitless attitude of government for artists is also important because artists present a real
picture of the society. They help us in finding where the improvement is required or exactly
where we stand currently. Once artists feel like they are free to express themselves, they
create masterpieces. One more thing is artists contribute meaningfully in the evolution of
mankind.

Yes, it is also necessary to define certain limits on expression of artists. As far as, the matters
of vulgarity, senseless presentation and emotional disrespect are concerned; creative artist

In many countries schools have severe problems with student behavior.

What do you think are the main causes of this? What solutions can you suggest?

Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge
or experience.

How true it is, we get respect with direct proportion of our behavior to others. When students
behave in a rude way or in an irresponsible way then of course it is hard to deal the same for
the school authorities. Once we go in introspection of the causes of such temperament of
students towards school management then particularly attitude of today’s student comes in to
lime light.

Attitude of a student is formed by various things like his family background, mutual respect of
his family for him, his self-image, his personal targets in life, teacher’s attitude towards him
and his active participation in studies. By taking into account all these primary factors, the
picture goes clear about the current disposition of students into school premises.

We live in a world of cause and effect, students are not solely responsible for this deviation in
behavior, and a dedicated approach from the side of family and school authorities is required
in this to make the things easy and on their place. Parents should take initiative to spend time
purposefully with their kids to understand them and to encourage them towards a love based
and peaceful life.

Teachers also play a vital role in life of students in shaping their destinies and in helping them
in becoming a meaningful and asset like for their nation. Teachers should come forward to
foster a healthy self-esteem in students so that they can start respecting themselves and
should embark living a value based and morally respectful life.

More than students themselves, their families and teachers are quite responsible for taking
them on a place where they are right now. With collective responsibility they can make the
picture beautiful.

Universities should accept equal number of male and female students in every subject.
38 FOR ANY KIND OF IELTS PREPARATION HELP, www.ieltsfreehomedelivery.blogspot.com 9996605415
To what extent do you agree or disagree with the opinion?

The world has always been male dominated. It is very clearly seen that males are
encouraged more to pursue education and to get employed with that qualification. Good
news, from recent years, is coming from every corner of the world that females are also
walking with same marching on the path of education along with males. Universities are
preferred by females to study after finishing the basic schooling. There are several factors
within the family that decide whether a male or female candidate will move to higher
education or not.

As far as, the role of university is concerned, it should open his arms equally for both sexes.
By giving same respect and welcome to both sexes, universities will also promote the sense
of equality among students. It will also increase the effective competition between students.
Everyone is free to fly in today’s time so it is quite natural that universities should take the
equal intake of males and females. Moreover, there are certain fields where both sexes can
do wonder like software industry, thinking based jobs and behavioral skills based jobs so they
both should get the opportunity. Every subject is great if greatly pursued so it should be an
open opportunity for males and females to go for it.

Apart from taking care about sense of equality, it is also important to keep in mind certain
things about opening a subject for both sexes. Like there are subjects in which naturally
males are comfortable or interested and vice versa for females. They are certain subjects in
which males and females are required as per their natural talents so automatically in those
subjects there would be a misbalance in strength of students.

Still it is right to open arms for both sexes with equal love on the part of university.

In some countries young people are encouraged to work or travel for a year between
finishing high school and starting university studies.

Discuss the advantages and disadvantages for young people who decide to do this.

How true it is, every coin has two facets. It is great to have a gap between studies when a
student finishes his high school and choose to have some practical eyes for his coming life.
Working or travelling to explore the things turns experiences into meaningful life lessons for
someone who has just completed his high school.

A great quote from a leading thinker is, if a person has not travelled across the world then he
allowed his third to stay closed. With travelling or working routine, a student gets ideas on

39 FOR ANY KIND OF IELTS PREPARATION HELP, www.ieltsfreehomedelivery.blogspot.com 9996605415


how to behave in a practical world, how to present himself to others, how to search a lifestyle
for coming life and of course, how to choose an identity for his rest of life.

One more perspective is there behind the notion of working before entering into university
which is when a student chooses to work and with this; he somewhere enables himself to
utilize the education of his schooling into practical substance. Automatically, he comes in a
position to take an unbiased decision for his rest of life.

Certainly, there are also ill points of the same situation and they are likewise if a student
chases a work culture or a travelling experience then he may or may not be return back to his
educational career. Moreover, if he chooses working for some organization, he may miss the
joy of senior qualification and corresponding job opportunities. There are chances for him to
turn into low paying jobs for rest of his life if once he chooses to go for money at that stage.

The best thing about choosing to work and travel before embarking university studies is it will
bless the pupil a third and real eye to view the practical world. It is a great option to choose.

Some people think that a sense of competition in children should be encouraged.


Others believe that children who are taught to cooperate rather than compete become
more useful adults.

Discuss both these views and give your own opinions.

Competition is really a powerful tool to inspire children to grow more and evolve more in all
walks of life. Sense of competition instills a powerful and positive spirit to learn more things in
children. Of course, if competition is healthy, productive and leaning focused then it is of high
value. Sometimes, children go beyond their regular limits in various areas of their lives just
because of other successful examples of that area.

As far as competition is providing ability, learning, skills, confidence, depth and maturity, it is
really of great value. Sometimes, it is seen because of unnecessary competition, children do
damage their neutrality and creativity.

Every child is unique and full of infinite unknown or unexplored talents. It is not good to throw
him in the fire of competition without analyzing the possible consequences of the same.

Another perspective for children is, installing a sense of cooperation in them. To live in a
peaceful and continuous growth oriented world, it is of huge importance that children in the
school age must learn how to share and how to make a healthy cooperation based deal to
others. It is a powerful feeling that is life transforming. As in society, we all are interdependent
so it is urgent to understand mutual feeling and provide adequate support.

40 FOR ANY KIND OF IELTS PREPARATION HELP, www.ieltsfreehomedelivery.blogspot.com 9996605415


This is of quite significant use to have a young nation of mutually respect based spirit with a
great attitude of mutual cooperation. In a nutshell, competition is essential to grow and to
expand as far as it is healthy, productive, learning based and positive. Along with this,
creating adults with an attitude of mutual cooperation is equally fruitful.

Research indicates that the characteristics we are born with have much more influence
on our personality and development than any experiences we may have in our life.

Which do you consider to be the major influence?

Natural is natural. Of course, the DNA plays its role. The heredity has its own influence. The
birth situations and mindsets of parents of an infant clearly play a crucial role in deciding his
personality later. Likewise, a child has taken birth in a creative, cultural and awareness based
atmosphere automatically he will be a responsible, polite, caring, self-dependent sort of
person in his young age.

And of course, what happens mostly, the talent with which a child takes birth, he don’t update
or hone his talent and remain limited in his thinking and influence. Somewhere, it is important
to have a balance between the gifted talent and skills that a person acquires in his lifetime.

Really, it is of huge importance that happens to us in lifetime. Some incidents shape us


completely and transform our mindset. And the ability to interpret those accidents is naturally
gifted to us and sometimes we acquire that capacity with sufferings.

It is a proper equation balancing between what is natural and what is acquired in lifetime. As
you come with a specific trait due to your family legacy so that will be a part of your
personality lifetime and it is up to you, how you utilize that in shaping your life. On the other
hand, certainly, what goes around us sticks to us. So nurturing has its own impact. History
has proved that people with average gifted skills but with rigorous hard work along with
learned skills like service to society, continuous betterment in capacity to learn, explore and
evolve, had transformed their signatures into autographs.

Natural with nurturing based stuff does the wonder. Both have their importance. Certainly,
nurturing is primary in shaping a person’s destiny through his lifetime.

Today the high sales of popular consumer goods reflect the power of advertising and
not the real needs of the society in which they are sold.

To what extent do you agree or disagree with the opinion?

41 FOR ANY KIND OF IELTS PREPARATION HELP, www.ieltsfreehomedelivery.blogspot.com 9996605415


Advertisement is a great thing when it meaningfully communicates the positive and productive
aspect of a product or a service but the same advertisement becomes a caution when it
unnecessarily creates an illusion in the mind of consumer. Yes, of course, advertisement is
playing a key role in today’s world in opening the minds of people about the new possibilities
of a product or a service.

Both perspectives have their own significance on their own. First, I will honestly express my
ideas on how advertisement is proving itself as an asset in mass media. In the world of cut
throat competition and in the presence of hundreds of products in the market, a well-designed
and properly conveyed advertisement reflects the plus points of a product for that it is
designed.

Moreover, advertisement is great in case of consumer goods as they are useful in our routine
practices and they make us aware about the essential features of goods so that one can take
an insightful decision about buying of them.

On the contrary, one cannot deny from the fact that sometime advertisement are far away
from reality and they successfully create an illusion and misconception. What happens is,
people are emotionally charged and pumped up to but things that they actually do not need at
all. Most of the people automatically get caught in the creative trap of massive and repeated
ad commercials. It is true, up to certain extent, advertisements are forcing people to buy or
creating a false need among consumers and they start feeling like they must need this and
without the purchase of this their life is incomplete.

Both aspects are vital to consider, but meaningful part is advertisement empowers the
customers when they communicate productively and meaningfully about a product or a
service.

Some people believe that visitors to other countries should follow local customs and
behavior. Others disagree and think that the host country should welcome cultural
differences.

Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.

When you go to some country, you go with a clear intention of exploring new possibilities and
new opportunities of looking at life. When you travel you learn a lot. But also, there are certain
things which you should keep in mind to ensure your success in your mission of expanding
your conscience about how things work in that country.

42 FOR ANY KIND OF IELTS PREPARATION HELP, www.ieltsfreehomedelivery.blogspot.com 9996605415


The primary thing for a visitor is to follow the code of conduct of that country to positively mix
with the local culture and tradition. Here is a truth also; once you respect others automatically
you get respect from others. In a position of mutual respect, both parties win. With the
intention of respect and appreciation for the host country’s culture and disposition, the visitor
will be benefitted more and will come back with a huge collection of happy memories.
Intention should be of knowing things with an eye of great regard for the host country people
and places.

A different perspective on the same topic is the host country should also be willing to accept
the cultural difference in a meaningful way and they should be open to learn new concepts if
they found the opportunity of such kind. It’s all about openness and willingness of two parties
about each other if they both want to make winners out of themselves.

A difference of language, eating style, clothing, perceptions and geographic diversity is quite
obvious between two different nations and in this situation, it is an ethical and moral duty of
both parties that they should respect and welcome the differences creatively.

Respect from both sides is must to ensure a proper exchange of worthy cultures and
traditions.

Today the high sales of popular consumer goods reflect the power of advertising and
not the real needs of the society in which they are sold.

To what extent do you agree or disagree with the opinion?

There is no doubt that advertisement industry is on fire in today’s time. Products and services
are defined and presented in such a way; it creates a temptation in the minds of people that
they must buy these things. Advertisement is a powerful tool of telling the concept of a
product likewise what it is, how it works and how it adds values in the life of users.

One of the fastest growing industry all over the world is advertisement one. There are
companies in the field of consumer goods like LG, WHIRLPOOL, GODREJ, SAMSUNG, IFB
and HAIER who invest billions annually on telling people about their products worldwide. One
cannot ignore the excess of ads and somewhere, ads are controlling various television
platforms like daily television serials, sports events, reality shows and movies.

It is so true that some ads reveal a picture of products that is far from their actual need and
desire. The whole concept of making ads is based on the generation of lack feeling in the
mind of consumer that arrives after watching the ad.

43 FOR ANY KIND OF IELTS PREPARATION HELP, www.ieltsfreehomedelivery.blogspot.com 9996605415


On the contrary, ads are meaningfully creating huge awareness about new technology and
new offerings in the market just to make the life of people easy and fast. Worldwide lots of
people are working days and nights to create magical presentation of product and services to
make sure that people should take the message behind the ad. One more thing, there are
numerous products in the market so somewhere people also need powerful means to know
which one suits their needs well.

Ads play primary role in sharing meaningful things about latest offerings in the market but
when ads are bombarded like anything they create a baseless need in the minds of people.

Some people prefer to spend their lives doing the same things and avoiding change.
Others, however, think that change is always a good thing.

Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.

Change is always hard at first, messiest in the middle but gorgeous at the end. It is powerfully
said by motivational industry genius Robin Sharma. It is so true that people avoid change in
life without knowing that change is the only thing in life that is inevitable. Change is hard
because it needs constant upgradation of lifestyle and living etiquettes.

People avoid change and choose to live same life over and over again. Such people start
blaming life for not giving them enough opportunities to grow and to expand. It is totally
senseless to live a life of no change and expecting nice things in days to come.

On the contrary, there are people who respect change in life and always eager to change for
better things and results. Change is constant and they get it. Everyday life sends new
opportunities to everyone but the people who love to change and to update themselves are
the ones who embrace these awesome prospects. Change is always great and provides new
possibilities of how things can be and how meaningful life can become.

One must recognize change as inevitable part of life and should ready himself every time to
grab the infinite opportunities that change carries within itself. People who change with time
and love change are the people who are not much liked by people who refuse to change
themselves for better. It is totally interesting to make change as essential growth element and
embrace change with open hands and open mind to live life in full dimension.

Change is must and it is quite meaningful to live life by taking change as a necessary season
of life than avoiding it.

Some people think that parents should teach children how to be good members of
society. Others, however, believe that school is the place to learn this.

Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.

Good manners are essential to live a good life. Manners are something that a child learns
from his family and from school as well. Both these places are very much foundational in
establishing a moral framework in child. However, the topic has been always a debatable one
because the role of both parties in shaping a child’s destiny is vital.

Primarily, the parents of a child are his first teachers as they educate him to think, to feel, to
express, to listen, to share, to laugh, to walk, to smile and almost every minute thing at very
basic level. Moreover, a child is also very much sensitive to learn things from his parents
because on them he trusts blindly. Apart from this factor, one more thing is also there, parents
can think about their children beyond the possible and they are much more connected to their
children biologically as well as emotionally. So it’s quite clear that role of parents in educating
their children towards moral values and basic know-how of life is totally imperative.

A sound perspective on this issue is also available and that is about the role of schools in
installing worthy manners in children. The role of school atmosphere is of huge importance in
teaching moral skills to children as school and children enjoys a healthy time interval for years
on daily basis. Somewhere, school teachers are second parents of a child and they seriously
mean this job. Importance of school is considerable as far as preparation of a child to become
an asset for society is concerned.

The significant perspective on subject of role of parents and teachers in creating a


responsible social citizen out of a child is that both have key roles to play in this.

Nowadays, the way many people interact with each other has changed because of
technology. In what ways has the technology affected the types of relationships people
make? Has this become a positive or negative development?

With evolution, new things emerge. There are certainly new ways of doing things in all walks
of life because the absolute development of technology worldwide. The basic art of
communication is also influenced with this revolution of technology. It is quite clear that art of
sharing thoughts and emotions is very ancient art as well as a basic need of people. Today
also, people love to interact with people but the platforms have changed. The mindset behind
using the sources to share views has transformed.

Technology has hugely impacted the communication patterns and it has provided magical
opportunities of connecting to people with whom we want to connect anywhere in the world.
Technology has reduced the time interval in connecting with somebody at other location and
also increased the clarity of communication. It has also reduc ed the cost of interaction in
many ways. Now one does not need to travel to know the wellbeing of his beloved. Certainly,
relationships got affected with this new current of advancement in the means of
communication.

Perspective of establishing a relationship and maintaining it has largely changed because


things have become superficial. Yes technology has given us wings but also it significantly
reduced the physical interaction or face to face interaction within people and as an impact of
it, today the relationships are suffering a lot.

Development is positive if one considers the advancement part like speed, accuracy, range of
connectivity and opening of new horizons but it is quite dangerous if one looks the naturality
and emotional strengthening of relationships.

Increasing the price of petrol is the best way to solve growing traffic and pollution
problems.

To what extent do you agree or disagree?

What other measures do you think might be effective?

Issue of increased traffic and pollution is a severe issue for humanity and environment. A
nation should be very much responsible towards reducing both these issues. Here, the
concept is about taking some concrete steps to mitigate the traffic and pollution problems.
One way of doing it, is by increasing the petrol prices so that the vehicle users should think
twice before taking their vehicles somewhere unimportantly. Somewhere, it is a good step
towards creating a mindset like petrol is costly and one should be careful in using his vehicle
for meaningful tasks.

I am not totally agree with the opinion of increasing petrol prices to create a balance for
environment as petrol prices are not the sole factor behind the traffic and pollution issues.
There are certain other steps those can also be quite effective in creating a lasting balance for
environment. By implementing driving rules and policies strictly, we can ensure good
consequence. Aged vehicles should be banned from further use. By promoting the concept of
car-pooling, we can nicely secure our climate as it will reduce the number of cars of road as
well as the probabilities of accident. Vehicle should be given at a certain age to children and it
should be followed strictly.

Public transportation should be in the mainstream and it should be magnetic or green fuel
based so that it will be negatively influence our environment. A great movement with the help
of media can be started to make common people aware about usage of public transport and
its powerful impacts on country’s health and economy. Awareness is the main thing in this
because as people get awareness about a thing like it is causing our country and economy
badly, they automatically start taking actions to make the situation better.

Issue of traffic and pollution is a big one and it can be certainly controlled by taking strong
steps and one of them is increasing the petrol prices.

In some countries the average weight of people is increasing and their levels of health
and fitness are decreasing.

What do you think are the causes of these problems and what measures could be
taken to solve them?

Lifestyle of people has been totally changed and the consequences of this are quite severe. It
is true that people are living a comfortable, hi-tech life and having everything available that
was somewhere beyond imagination few decades earlier. There are powerful impacts of fast
lifestyle and easy means of living life on health of people. Health is wealth; it is significant
even in today’s times. People are badly suffering from serious health issues.

Talking about the causes of this decreased level of fitness there are various factors like wise
food quality, eating habits, stuff of the food, passive lifestyle, sitting routine, rich availability
extra comfortable transportation means and era of virtual gadgets. Online revolution is
somewhere responsible to bring fatness in people as there are easy and fast shopping
options are available. One more thing, there is almost every useful item is present with
shopping list. Interest towards indoor activities and games has also touched the sky and this
is causing inactive lifestyle.

As there are problems so there exist solutions also. One can take powerful steps to ensure a
fit and slim body likewise he can choose to wake up early, choose to take fast foods
occasionally, decide to use stairs twice a day instead of using lifts every time, can take the
bold decision of living an rich and purposeful life with vision of daily learning. A person without
vision and definite goal is destined to enjoy ill health in his life.

Health issues are quite common in today’s life but the active lifestyle nicely coupled with a
meaningful purpose of life is can be a rich source of living a fit and fulfilled life.

Some experts believe that it is better for children to begin learning foreign language at
primary school than secondary school.

Do the advantages of this outweigh the disadvantages?

Learning a new language is always fruitful and provides us new avenues to understand and
explore our world. Students at younger age have a keen curiosity towards getting news eyes
to feel the outside world. It is a famous wisdom also that if you have a new language with you
then you have an additional vision for life. There are certain things that are great with primary
school children like powerful learning attitude, innocence towards new things and a great
discipline to work on new stuff and a freshness of mindset.

It is of huge importance to install a foreign language in the minds of primary students because
it opens their mind towards the new possibilities and new horizons across the world in which
they live. At primary age, naturally their have a fresh slate with less things in it so it is quite
easy and effective to make them understand the foreign language. Certainly, knowledge of a
new language will provide them confidence, wider approach, creativity, sense of bigness of
their world, new thinking ways and lot possibilities.

Somewhere, it is also urgent to consider this point that once they finish their primary school
they must be liberal to learn the new language. One more powerful scenario is at the age of
secondary, they will be in apposition to feel the importance and the availability of changes that
new language will bring in their lives. Somewhere, at the secondary stage, they will be more
open about understanding the career broadness that learning of new language will
incorporate in their professional look.

Still it is highly impactful to equip the primary students with foreign language than the
secondary ones.

Some people believe that unpaid community service should be a compulsory part of
high school programs (for example working for a charity, improving the neighborhood
or teaching sports to younger children.

To what extent do you agree or disagree?

This is a powerful idea of engaging high school students in activities where they learn
humanity, working for bigger causes, adding values in other people’s life, making the world
more beautiful than they found it and creating lasting impressions on the minds of people to
whom they will serve.

48 FOR ANY KIND OF IELTS PREPARATION HELP, www.ieltsfreehomedelivery.blogspot.com 9996605415


Ultimately, the sole aim of education is enabling the student in finding his inner music in a way
that he can serve the world meaningfully and can live a purposeful life in all respects. When
the question of inspiring high school students towards unpaid community services comes, it is
a practice of huge worth in all dimensions. A student with a wider social knowledge, with
better understanding of adding values in the lives of people and with clear understanding of
give and take principle of social success in life, can prove himself an asset for his society.

Somewhere, it is also true that with these services, he will automatically learn the importance
of right attitude, polite voice, mutual respect and sense of togetherness. One of the most
fruitful aspect of this scenario is the student will take more interest in his studies because now
he is in a position to interpret the reason like what is the use of him in society and how he can
add more values in other’s life.

An eye opening fact is that it will add simplicity and purity of thoughts in student’s life and he
will live an intense life with a sense of completeness and a sense of purpose. Indirectly, a
shallow and half lived life will abandon the student automatically because now he is doing
some real work for mankind.

The idea of encouraging high school students towards unpaid community services is of
immense importance in all aspects hence it should be welcomed with open heart.

31

Some people say that the best way to improve public health is by increasing the
number of sports facilities. Others, however, say that this would have little effect on
public health and that other measures are required.

Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.

The subject of health is always been of huge concern. Somewhere for the government, it is
also a hard assignment to implement proper strategies related to providing better health
facilities. There are people who think like spreading the sports facilities is fruitful step.
Initiative of bestowing more sports facilities is an appreciable one.

Once a person goes through sports schedule daily obviously he keeps his body active and fit.
Apart from physical fitness, sports also introduce a toughness in mental abilities which is very
good. The best thing about sports facilities is it is not an expensive project when we look at its
consequence at mass level in long run. Certainly, people can be inspired to use physical
exercises in their morning and evening routine as a daily dose of exercise medicines.

But apart from introducing sports facilities, there are certain other measures are also which
are quite meaningful in this regard. Likewise, people should be motivated to take walk at least

49 FOR ANY KIND OF IELTS PREPARATION HELP, www.ieltsfreehomedelivery.blogspot.com 9996605415


twice a day for 2kilometers. They should also be guided to take fast food occasionally in their
daily routine.

One more interesting fact about public health is, most of the people do not try anything new in
their routine and choose to become fatty in their physical shape. They should encourage
themselves to learn new things, new skills, new arts and new concepts because by this they
will be utilizing their creative powers in purposeful works and along with this, they will be
making themselves free from a stress based lifestyle. Such initiatives are far more powerful
than providing sports facilities on mass level.

It is an individual choice to stay fit or fatty. A lifestyle is the key indicator of a man’s health.

32

Every year several languages die out. Some people think that this is not important
because life will be easier if there are fewer languages in the world.

To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?

Language is a kind of asset for any religion or culture. As the size of earth and number of
present traditions are quite high so it is natural that we have hundreds of languages and
thousands of regional languages. More is the variety of people living on earth so more is
number of languages spoken by them. But the picture is changing. Languages are reducing
drastically every year because of globalization.

The concept of one earth and one world is great in the sense of spreading equality and a
sense of mutual cooperation between various countries of the world. However, it is strongly
giving its positive feedbacks as well as negative ones. One of the ill feedbacks of this is the
regional languages and even sometimes the national languages are leaving their place and
going out of trend. Because of earning reasons, people globally prefer to use languages
which are acceptable and are languages of common trade.

Somewhere, the urbanization is also forcing people to move from their traditional lifestyle to
advance and city-based lifestyle so in this transition they are choosing to use city-based
accents and languages. But certainly, there are positives also of this situation; it is quite easy
to interact with people if they recognize our language. And if we have few languages then
naturally the communication will be proper and meaningful. Dying of languages is not a
planned thing it is happening naturally with the evolution of mankind. Of course, life would be
easier and interesting if people have few languages to interact and to understand. Language
barrier will be removed up to a large extent.

With loss of a language, its cultural legacy goes away which is not good for the strength of
cultural diversity but on the other side, if we prefer easiness of communication among several
