Ielts Essay - Creativity Who's domain is it?

Art, in various manifestations, has always intrigued humans, and over the ages, several masterpieces have been created. But to whom does art really belong; is it a realm of naturally talented people, or is it accessible by everyone.

Art, in any form is a true domain of people with natural inclinations, as they are very sensitive when it comes to observing. They also have an inborn trait of conceptualizing the scenario, surroundings and underlying aspects; and interpreting them in a tangible and understandable form. The works produced by natural artists have the capacity to mesmerize even those with little understanding of creative work. Art is actually an intense, but deeply embedded feeling connected to human emotions which is otherwise very hard to elucidate  if not provided with a proper medium of expression. These complex feelings can only be effectively and beautifully interpreted in tangible forms by those with innate traits.

Moreover, naturally gifted people have the ability to produce masterpieces that greatly influence the psyche of the society. People with a natural quality to produce creative work are the ones who set trends, while others just follow. This has been proven in the past, for instance, people like William Shakespeare did not only write plays but influenced the society with his revolutionary work.

However, arts is not an intellectual property of talented people since every human is full of feelings and aspirations, and they have a right to express them in some creative way if they wish to by learning how to do it. This fact is clearly illustrated by mushrooming schools of arts that train people in various forms of arts; consequently, many have been able to churn out masterpieces.   

To conclude, even though art can practiced by anyone, only the one created by the naturally talented artists stand apart and is admired by millions of followers.

Ielts Essay - Toys But How Many???

Even though playing with toys form an inseparable of part of daily activities of childhood since this plays a pivotal role in the mental and physical development of children, how many toys are deemed suitable is matter of intense debate.

Making large number of toys available to the youngsters  has its own drawbacks since sheer volume and types of gadgets disorient, overwhelm and clutter tender minds, and interfere with thinking process. As a result, they are unable to derive satisfaction from this important activity. The fact is elucidated by the findings of various studies and experiments, tender minds find it oneorous to focus on any single toy and that prevents them from involving themselves effectively with those playthings. Consequently, they also tend to miss not only really important hints required to nurture and support creativity but also are bereft of opportunities that could be used to socialize with the family members and siblings.

Moreover, this practice makes juveniles grow up as self centered, arrogant and careless. They are rarely able to grasp critical hints about cooperating with others, especially with their own siblings. It has also been found that juveniles are not able to take care of their belongings, when in excess, but their craving and expectations for more and more toys keeps rising.

However, many justify this propensity by citing various unsubstantiated reasons such as, nowadays, families are becoming nuclear, that are many a time devoid of grandparents, and sometimes even brothers and sisters. Presence of many play devices helps lift loneliness that young individuals experience. Above all, this equipment compensate for the absence of parents during working hours.

To conclude, I believe laying surfeit toys at the disposal of young minds, is laden with umpteen drawbacks - this can make them too possessive at best, and hence, this practice should be avoided.

Ielts Essay - Advice of Older

Practice of relying on the wisdom of forefathers and parents, and getting their suggestions has continued to persist down the ages. But, nowadays, trend of seeking suggestions from senior members of families seems to be waning though some feel that this tradition is continuously perpetuating despite change of perceptions of younger generation.

Seeking suggestions and guidance of elders of family would always be in vogue, especially in terms of guidance about professional domain. Even in the contemporary times, young people, on being guided by their parents, tend to follow the footsteps of their elders, like choosing to enter into similar occupations as their parents. The youth despite being adventurous are more inclined to earning success quickly which inspires them to do what they feel can fetch tangible outcomes, and the best way to success is highly experienced advice of elders.

Furthermore, exercise of seeking suggestions from parents and grandparents is virtually irreplaceable, when it comes to personal lives, since young people have an undaunted faith on the wisdom of their elders. Sons and daughters are seen spending hours on, in person, or on phones, discussing their problems with their parents and seeking critical hints to find effective solutions for almost every walk of their personal lives, that may sometimes range from choosing a life partner and upbringing of children to handling financial affairs, etc.

However, today, young people find advice of their elders quite irrelevant. People are going places and trotting the globe, which has broadened their perspectives. These people feel that opinions of their elders are restricted to the experiences gained in limited premise so those suggestions are more of less of no use.

To conclude, I personally feel debate or no debate, practice of seeking advice from parents would always exist.

Ielts Essay - Business class in Airlines 

Air travel is in vogue today and more and more travelers choose flying, it is simultaneously being observed that airlines are tempted to provide more comfort to business class fliers at the cost of economy class space, even though others think quite differently.  

It seems quite natural for airlines to offer better services to fliers in business class since it fetches multiple benefits, like raised revenues and decreased costs. The passengers buying tickets in a business class pay exorbitant charges, that help airlines in boosting their revenues, and improve the per seat fare ratio. Furthermore, as high fares also mean lesser number of passengers travelling on any flight lesser flight crew members are needed per flight to cater to fliers. Some people even argue that this can also help in the bringing down the fuel consumption of the aircraft since less number of passengers would mean lesser take-off weight.

Apart from that, in the current era of low cost carriers, there is a newly emerging trend of craving among the passengers to opt for an airline that offers premium services, especially among the elite class and the people boarding extremely long distance flights. This has prompted the airlines to build up their brand image among the fliers wanting comforts, even if offered at premium.

However, as per some, in the times when commercial aviation business is passing through a very lean phase, and when almost all the airlines are struggling to survive since even the elite class passenger are becoming thrifty, offering more convenience to Y class at the cost of J class seems to be a very unlikely option.  

Hence, I am not convinced that airlines provide more space to business class travelers by reducing space in economy class.

Ielts Essay - Upbring and Success

Success is something that is followed by every human being keenly, and every expert on this planet is trying to find key to this elusive phenomena. Many feel that successful people have a solid and qualitative foundation laid down by their moms and dads, but does this factor really influence an accomplished individual’s life? Or are there are certain other factors too?

Parents have been traditionally regarded as a driving force behind accomplishments of individuals, since they have always donned roles of mentors, advisers and guides. Right from the birth, moms and dads instill critical life skills in kids, such as differentiating between good and bad; behaving, behaving and forging relationships; handling stress during tough phases, etc. The training received, independent of any external intervention, in the family has a long lasting effect on psyche of kids and teaches them to be resilient, and successfully negotiate personal and professional spheres of life. 

Moreover, family background has always influenced professional beliefs and convictions of individuals. The informal training received in the families always overwhelmingly steer the personalities and negotiating skills. For instance, individuals born in the families involved in business would surely turnout to be highly successful in business since they are guided by the critical clues picked while observing parents negotiate business and professional challenges; and identify opportunities to be grabbed.  

However, an accomplished personality does not necessarily have to be nurtured in the early years. There could be many factors that influence success of an individual, like the formal education received, the company kids keep, and opportunities and the timing of chances being made available.

To sum up, I personally believe, although parental guidance and rearing may have some impact on the personality, success is surely not a result of upbringing.

Ielts Essay - University Fee 

University studies have always been considered important for the development of a country. Appreciating this, many people have started suggesting that the governments should pay the academic fees for the individuals intending to join universities for higher studies, while there are some who feel differently about this.

Government bearing the fees of varsity studies seems to be a very viable suggestion. Studies at universities can cost arms and legs, and many people are not keen to go ahead with this even if they can afford. Furthermore, most of the students are discouraged from joining varsities since they are not in a position to pay annual fees. If government can ensure this, there would be rise in number of students enrolling for higher studies.  It would not only act as a placebo for those who can afford but also help in encouraging pupils from weaker socioeconomic backgrounds, to go for varsity courses.  

Moreover, almost every country is facing a dearth of people working in specialist domains since only varsities can churn out specialists with higher intellect and perspectives. But, today a majority of pupils do not wish to spend another three to four years in pursuing Masters or Doctorates since they would have to pay money instead of earning it. Payment of fee by government would surely act as an inducement, and more and more people would surely take up university studies.

However, if the government were to completely subsidize, or rather offer it for free, the education at the varsity, it may prove counter-productive as it would tax the financial resources of the government, and to get over that governments would end up raising taxes.

To conclude, government paying the fee is surely a positive suggestion and should be implemented across the globe.
