Many parents use punishment to teach the difference between right and wrong to kids. Many think punishment is unnecessary to help children learn the distinction between right and wrong. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

There is a lobby that believes the punishment is imperative for the young ones to make them competent in differentiating the right from wrong. This essay shall justify the rationale behind their perspective and discuss that of others.

Many are in favour of this practice. A slew of parents deploy this practice to make their wards comprehend the distinction between right and wrong since they believe such actions alleviates the tendency of repeating the same mistakes all over again in the little ones. This helps impart lessons for life as they always give a second thought before undertaking an erroneous or wrongful act, pushing them to mend their ways, thereby turning them into rational adults later in life. Moreover, it helps in inculcating a sense of discipline among the youngsters which serves as a deterrent to them against transcending the limits set by their mothers and fathers.

However, punishment leaves a profound impression on these tender minds, as detractors of retribution profess, which affects the psyche of young individuals prominently, causing distortions in their behaviour. Since reprimanding instills fear in some sensitive children, owing to which they become introverts when they grow into adults, and due to the lack of confidence they encounter a wide array of challenges in their life later on. Similarly,  some may turn out to be rebels by virtue of which they go astray from the paths directed by their parents, leading to severe repercussions such as involvement in fallacious acts, evolution of criminal instincts, and so on.

 

To reiterate, I strongly feel that the employment of punishment by parents in order to teach moral lessons to their wards is accompanied by a plethora of negative aspects since such actions adversely affect the mental wellbeing of the tender minds and the aftermath might be irrevocable.

Disruptive school students have a negative influence on others. Students who are noisy and disobedient should be grouped together and taught separately. Do you agree and disagree, give reasons for your answer and include relevant examples from your own experience and knowledge. Write at least 250 words.

There is a lobby that believes teaching unruly and sincere learners in a separate formal environment would be a favourable step since the former has an adverse impact on the latter while studying together. This essay will justify the rationale behind their perspective and discuss that of others.

Imparting knowledge to all learners under the same roof would be of great afford as this arrangement would extend them an opportunity to comprehend a rich profusion of personalities, prevent creating a wedge between the two categories, and help them to be prepared for dealing with diverse personas, and surmount obstacles in the future. 

Furthermore, the idea of segregating learners would be an unfavourable arrangement for the tender minds of the undisciplined ones since they take back the impression of prejudice against them which would distort their conduct, consequently, engendering jealousy for others. Besides this, they will turn into antisocial and less confident adults in the life later on since they start believing that they possess some flaws, by virtue of which they are treated differently.

However, clubbing all under the same roof could spoil the class environment, mischievous acts of the noisy learners would leave a profound imprint on the psyche of the studious pupils, thereby encouraging them to imitate the actions of those with disorderly behavior. Moreover, unruly conduct of some would deviate the sincere learners from their focus owing to which they would encounter a plethora of challenges in the years to come while pursuing their ambitions.

To reiterate, I strongly feel that despite some positive aspects, the idea of rendering formal tuition by classifying disobedient pupils into separate groups is accompanied by a plethora of negative aspects since it would heighten their rebellious behaviour, distort their mindsets. 

If countries are serious about solving traffic problems, they should tax private cars very heavily and use the money to provide free or very cheap rail travel. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

 

If countries are serious about solving traffic problems, they should tax private cars very heavily and use the money to provide free or very cheap rail travel. To what extent do you agree or disagree? 

A  lobby believes that levying heavy duties on personal vehicles would help in mitigating the pressing issue of traffic congestion prevailing in several countries, and utilising the collected tax money to render subsidised railway tickets. This essay will justify the rationale behind this notion as well as discuss that of others.

This arrangement would encourage the travellers to commute in public vehicles since this would help them in saving a great amount of money spent due to the escalating prices of fuel as well as colossal penalties while moving in private transport, thereby ameliorating their financial health, and alleviating the traffic snarls on roads.

However, by travelling in public transport such as railways leads to the wastage of the most precious commodity that is time by virtue of which people are inclined towards the private conveyance. Since in the contemporary era, people are engaged in gruelling work schedules owing to which they do not get adequate time to devote to their families, therefore, imposing heavy levies on personal vehicles would be of little avail as time once gone never comes back, and subsidised railway tickets would fail to substitute it, and traffic may not thin. 

Similarly,  crimes have witnessed a spike in the recent years, due to which commuters have become quite apprehensive while travelling, especially in the wee hours, so they would not compromise their safety by opting for trains to save a few pennies. The priority today is safety and peace of mind rather than anything else. Thus, such a proposal might fail to deliver. Besides this, the travellers would not relinquish their comfort of traversing by personal means as they would not be able to enjoy the lighter moments with their loved ones in mass transit.

Overall,  I strongly feel that despite some positive aspects, private vehicles would continue to exist even with the enormous levies since this mode is safe and time efficient. Therefore, I fail to concur with this arrangement.   

Nowadays schools should not use textbooks because children get bored with books. Using games, computers and TV is a better way to give them new information and knowledge. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?

 

Nowadays schools should not use textbooks because children get bored with books. Using games, computers and TV is a better way to give them new information and knowledge. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?

There is a lobby that believes formal settings should abandon/shelve the conventional method of disseminating knowledge to the learners through textbooks since they no longer find it an interesting way, and recommend the idea of introducing smart classes to extend them the latest information. This essay will justify the rationale behind this notion and discuss that of others.

Many have hailed this arrangement since the incorporation of technology such as games, television, computers, and so on, for imparting knowledge to the pupils helps in transforming learning into interesting, tempting and fun activity through audio as well as video components, by letting them learn faster and also leaving a profound and long lasting imprint on the tender minds.  

Furthermore, this integration exposes the young ones to technology and makes them tech-savvy which would help them prominently when they turn into adults, especially while negotiating professional endeavours. Similarly, the indulgence of the growing minds in such a wide array of multimedia helps in cultivating strategy building skills which contribute to their cognitive development.

However, the conservative lobby terms this kind of a switch as one that carries several downsides. Shelving textbook based learning will surely make young minds bereft of creativity: printed words force readers to visualize each word and imagine things, which can be of a great help. Besides this, not using printed text will also not allow learners to grab the most important virtues of patience, exploration and hard work. When reading something from a book, one is forced to read through pages,  teaching them to become patient and also learn to try to find the required information; consequently, letting them appreciate the value of working hard while pursuing goals.

 

To reiterate, I strongly feel that despite some negative aspects, substitution of books with the technology in school curriculum is accompanied by a plethora of positive aspects since this arrangement would help pupils to imbibe a rich profusion of skills which would prove to be quite beneficial for them in the years to come. 

Full-time university students spend a lot of time studying, however they should perform other activities too. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

 

Full-time university students spend a lot of time studying, however they should perform other activities too. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

The learners in varsities devote a great deal of time to their study regime. However, there is a lobby that believes they should indulge themselves in some other activities along with the academics. This essay will justify the rationale behind their perspective and discuss that of others.

Many have hailed this proposal since extra-curricular activities play an imperative role in shaping the personalities of the students, by virtue of which they turn into rational adults in the life later on since these tasks assist them in their personal grooming by imparting a plethora of skills as well as values required to deal with the challenges they might encounter in their professional realms.

Furthermore, incorporation of such tasks aids the learners in taking a break from their gruelling study routines, thereby breaking the mundane which helps them to retain their interest in the academics by alleviating the immense pressure involved in incessant studying process, and encourages them to adhere to their schedules with greater enthusiasm and fervour. Besides this, such integration further helps them in discovering their hidden talents, consequently, rendering them a rich profusion of alternatives to pursue as a vocation in the future.

However, a section outrightly rejects this notion. As per this lobby, students indulge in their studies extensively, in order to achieve good grades which help them fetch higher positions at esteemed companies so involvement in other activities might prove as a distraction, owing to which they would deviate from their objectives, thereby hampering their future prospects.

Overall,  I strongly feel the idea of involving in co-curricular activities together with academics is accompanied by a wide array of positive aspects since it would escalate the performance of pupils by mitigating the stress. Also, it is indispensable for their physical and mental wellbeing.

Some people say that cooking food at home is a waste of time. They claim that good restaurants are better and can make modern living easier and less stressful. Do you agree or disagree with this statement?

 

Some people say that cooking food at home is a waste of time. They claim that good restaurants are better and can make modern living easier and less stressful. Do you agree or disagree with this statement?

There is a lobby that believes cooking meals at home leads to the wastage of time so it recommends ordering food from restaurants to make the life of people less hectic and more convenient. This essay will justify the rationale behind their perception.

Many have hailed this proposal. Since nowadays, people have overburdened themselves with work to achieve more and more prosperity, by virtue of which they fail to get adequate time to perform household chores such as cooking. Moreover, they get extremely exhausted while working for hours at office which makes it quite taxing and stressful for them to indulge in the auxiliary activity like cooking instead of spending time with their families. In such circumstances, good eateries serve them with a wide array of delicacies, when the former place orders, quickly. Similarly, this alternative is of great afford in the events since hosts can enjoy the moments with their guests rather than being occupied in the kitchen.

However, there are many drawbacks of embracing this practice. The food at renowned hotels and restaurants are quite expensive that leads to the tumbling of budgets, which might push one into financial crisis if they continue this practice on a regular basis. Furthermore, restaurants utilise excessive oils and spices to prepare delicious and palatable dishes which makes them unhealthy, and to add insult to injury, they make use of preservatives owing to which the food fails to retain its nutrients, thereby affecting the health of regular consumers adversely.

To reiterate, I strongly feel that despite some positive aspects of incorporating restaurant food in the lifestyle, its negative aspects prevail since this option is not cost-effective and has a detrimental impact on the wellbeing.

 

When children start school teachers have a bigger influence on their academic and social development compared to their parents. Do you agree or disagree with this statement? Give your opinion and relevant examples.

 

There is a lobby that believes tutors have a greater impact on the social and educational development of the learners when they commence their academic journey as compared to their parents. This essay will justify the rationale behind their perspective and discuss that of others.

 

Tutors have a more concrete impact on the personalities of the little ones as they devote their major part of the day at school which pushes them to imbibe the content swiftly and efficiently. Moreover, in classrooms, students get a more serious and formal environment which helps them to concentrate on their studies, instilling a sense of discipline in them since they are always under observation of their teachers, due to which they remain focussed all the time, thereby increasing their productivity.

Furthermore, tutors impart knowledge to the pupils by organising fun activities in the form of a plethora of games and group assignments, owing to which they inculcate numerous skills and values while working together to accomplish the tasks. Such activities extend opportunities to acquire the social values through sharing, caring, communicating, cooperating, solving problems and networking which contribute towards their holistic development.

However, the other lobby believes that parents are more accountable for the social development of their wards since they are the role models for the little ones by virtue of which the latter follow the footsteps of the former without giving a second thought by inculcating/emulating the social behaviour of their mothers and fathers.

Overall, I strongly feel that despite both teachers and parents having a sizable influence on children when they start schooling, it is the faculty that has an overwhelming impact on young minds, who get to experience a formal environment and worldly knowledge under the watchful eyes of teachers.   

In the future, nobody will buy printed newspapers or books because they will be able to read everything they want online without paying. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?

In the future, nobody will buy printed newspapers or books because they will be able to read everything they want online without paying. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?

In the era of technology, all spheres of life have changed dramatically. With the emergence of it, printed newspapers or books have taken a back seat while online reading has become a buzzword in recent years, and it is expected that paper based mediums of mass communications will disappear altogether though some doubt this. 

Very soon technology is expected to overwhelm human lives. With round the clock connectivity available to every individual, online reading material will render a convenient and comfortable way to enjoy anywhere and at any point in time. The way things are evolving, people are expected to become busier, and this advancement will afford them with an alternative to read accordingly, as per their convenience on their smartphones and computers as well.

Similarly,  people are expected to become thrifty and environmentally conscious, and they will avoid spending money on something, like papers based newspapers and books, that has little use after their need has been fulfilled. Moreover, they will also be more enlightened that practice also helps prevent the wastage of paper, thereby overcoming the global issue of deforestation and safeguarding the environment.

However, online availability cannot outweigh the merits of printed books or newspapers. There is a lobby that claims many can grasp the content better through the printed material without straining their eyes by engaging with the gadgets, and such individuals will exist in the future too who compare reading with leisure. Furthermore, people living in the remote areas will still be deprived of internet connectivity, and thus will remain highly dependent on the printed material.  

To reiterate, despite the several merits of online reading, the books and newspapers will maintain their place because they are easily accessible. Thus, I fail to concur with the statement.

Some people think that shops should sell the food products from the local area, rather than selling products imported from other countries. Do you agree or disagree?

 

Some people think that shops should sell the food products from the local area, rather than selling products imported from other countries. Do you agree or disagree?

The world has evolved into a global village where people can access the goods and services available across the world. There is a lobby that believes instead of selling edible goods belonging to foreign countries, stores should deal with the local produce. This essay will justify the rationale behind their inclination towards the local food items.

The advent of globalization has opened up horizons for the consumers, in terms of food which can be brought in from any part of the world now. This has also irked many who believe that this might impact local communities unfavorably, so outlets should prioritize sales of domestic produce though others  contest this.  

The goods from alien societies replace the shelves consisting of local food entailing the wastage of procured food items, thereby affecting the financial health of local producers, manufacturers as well as sellers. Besides this, the phenomenal price of the imported edible food adds insult to injury due to which a slew of people fail to afford them resulting in pronounced social fault lines between haves and have nots.

Furthermore, local markets bolster the natives by extending fresh and healthy edible merchandise while the products procured from others countries takes several days to arrive in the destination nation, and a wide array of preservatives, as well as chemicals, are utilised to preserve them and to make them look fresh owing to which they fail to retain the nutrients.

However, many propose allowing sales of overseas food products. This would render consumers opportunity to enjoy a rich profusion of delicacies from all over the world to satiate their palate. This practice will aid in enlightening them about a variety of exotic edible items available across the length and breadth of the globe, enhancing their worldview. Moreover, the exchange of products will help in fostering the bonhomie among different nations simultaneously, boosting their economies.

Overall, the positive aspects of selling local produce completely eclipse the merits of imported food items since the former would be of great afford for the society in terms of price, health, and so on. Hence, I concur with the statement.

Foreign tourists must be charged higher fees than local people to visit cultural places and historical sites. Do you agree or disagree with this statement? Give your own opinion including relevant examples.

Foreign tourists must be charged higher fees than local people to visit cultural places and historical sites. Do you agree or disagree with this statement? Give your own opinion including relevant examples.

 

It is generally seen that tourist attractions such as monuments, historical sites and various cultural places impose higher charges on overseas travellers. I do agree with this idea and believe that similar access fees should be charged from everyone.

 

When tourists are charged higher, they take back the impression of discrimination towards them. This act discourages foreigners from visiting places of tourist attraction, whereas if levied equally, they would persuade their immediate family and friends to visit such places which ultimately helps increase the tourist inflow, resulting in phenomenal growth in the earnings of the tourism industry and thereby, boosting the economy. 

 

Furthermore, this will help in spreading the culture around the world: more and more alien visitors will be willing to explore the culture and traditions of the host society. Thus, making a society and its culture appear more prominently at the global level. For example, Dilli Haat in Delhi India, due to its nominal access charges that are similar for all, has gained visibility across the world and attracts a great number of travellers every year who gain an enriching experience by visiting this location.

 

Moreover, due to the surge in the number of overseas travellers, the local nearby vendors get profited. This astronomical revenue benefits the government as well through the taxes. The government can use these funds in the maintenance of historical places. From this perspective, equal entrance fees would be of great advantage and have a better impact.

 

To conclude, having the same ticket fee, both from local people as well as foreign travellers to visit various cultural and historical places like monuments, parks, regional fests and so on, will be more beneficial. Hence, I fail to concur with the statement. 

Giving lectures in auditoriums to large numbers of students is an old way of teaching. With the technology available today there is no justification for it, and everything should be done online. To what extent do you agree or disagree? Give your own opinion.

Giving lectures in auditoriums to large numbers of students is an old way of teaching. With the technology available today there is no justification for it, and everything should be done online. To what extent do you agree or disagree? Give your own opinion.

 

In this era of technology, all spheres of life have changed dramatically. With the emergence of it, the traditional mode of teaching has taken a back seat while online classes have become a buzzword in recent years, and I agree with this idea and believe that the merits of online teaching outstrip the ancient way of teaching; thus, the latter should be shelved.

 

The idea of imparting knowledge by making optimal use of technology would benefit the institutions intensely. The cost of building infrastructure, hiring staff for its maintenance and many more will save a phenomenal amount of money which can be utilised for further advancements and facilities. From this perspective, online education would be of great advantage and have a better impact.

 

Similarly, this will be favourable for students as well. The online mode can help them in saving the most precious commodity: the time, which is usually wasted in commuting. The time saved can be used more productively by investing it in studying. Moreover, this will also allow saving money otherwise expended on travelling to and from educational institutions; and buying books, and uniform, and so on. Concurrently, this has also aided educational establishments to widen their outreach among the learners.   

 

On top of that with its vast reach, online methods of teaching have helped drive in another major benefit. Students can have access to education even from remote areas, they only require an internet connection to study. Because of this flexibility and convenience, online lectures are becoming very popular among people.

 

To reiterate, in recent years, a considerable rise in popularity of online teaching has overwhelmed society. Due to its efficacy, convenience and cost-effectiveness, as well, the traditional mode of classroom teaching can be substituted.

In this era of technology, all spheres of life have changed dramatically. With the emergence of it, the traditional mode of teaching has taken a back seat while online classes have become a buzzword in recent years and I disagree with this idea and believe that the merits of an ancient way of teaching outstrip online mode of teaching.

 

The traditional way of teaching aids in maximizing productivity of the students. In classrooms, learners get a more serious and formal environment which helps them to concentrate better on their studies. Moreover, this instils a sense of discipline since they are always under observation of their tutors, due to which they remain focussed all the time. With this perspective, the conventional method affords greater advantages and has a better impact.

 

In addition to the above, face to face conversation leads to better comprehension. Classroom teaching allows students to interact with lecturers in person when there is clarification required and it is extremely convenient to understand when people are physically present at one place. Such methods help establish a bond between teachers and students, alleviating the hesitation in the students. Therefore, the traditional mode of teaching is irreplaceable. 

 

To reiterate, recent years have seen a considerable rise in online teaching since technology has practically taken over lives. However, the traditional mode of imparting knowledge cannot be substituted due to its efficacy and productivity as well. Hence, I fail to concur with the statement.

The international community should reduce or eliminate the debts of the world’s poorest countries. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

The international community should reduce or eliminate the debts of the world’s poorest countries. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Elite countries should step forward and help developing countries by easing up their financial obligations. This proposal is beneficial and humane can help the world prosper faster. I agree with this idea and believe that such measures should be adopted to alleviate the misfortunes of poverty-stricken societies.

 

By taking monetary aid from the communities, poor countries, which are trapped in a vicious circle, will be able to stand on their feet once again. These nations can utilize this amount to ameliorate the life of their citizens by rendering efficient and advanced facilities. Moreover, with these funds, these countries will be able to improve the infrastructure and create numerous opportunities in almost every realm. With this perspective, reducing the financial liability will aid in the progress of the underdeveloped countries.

 

On top of that, this may also help in mitigating the global crisis caused by the exodus of people, of deprived societies, seeking shelter in rich countries as refugees to escape poverty in their homelands. Such movements impose an immense -pressure on the local economies of the elite nations, but the governments  seem  helpless due to absence of opportunities in economically weaker nations, who in turn  are cowed down by huge repayment burdens. If the loans extended were pardoned, the poor nations would be able to create better opportunities for their natives,  preventing the latter from seeking refuge in other parts of the world.   

 

To reiterate, I completely concur with this proposal since pardoning loans seems to be the only way in the current scenario, which can aid in upheaval of those living in deprivation in various parts of the world. This will have a long lasting impact on the global society. 

In order to mitigate the troubles and financial liabilities of indigent countries around the world, the international organisations should take effective and immediate initiatives for improving the standard of living of the population.  

Globalization has many positives but its negative effects should also not be ignored. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Globalization has many positives but its negative effects should also not be ignored. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Globalization has caused an upheaval in almost all walks of life. However, some people believe that a substantial amount of adverse outcomes has also been associated with its advent. I disagree with this notion and believe that the merits of globalisation surpass/outstrip the drawbacks of the same.

 

With the emergence of globalisation, markets in the global economy have integrated. This new arrangement has given rise to social media, as a result, people can communicate with others, regardless of political boundaries or geographies, helping create harmonious relationships between people who now happily identify themselves as global citizens rather than being those limited to their nationalities or ethnicities. This has also rendered businessmen a platform to reach prospective customers anywhere, aiding in flourishing their businesses, thereby, the economies. From this perspective, globalisation has fetched great advantages.

 

Moreover, the advent of MNCs and global brands has created an upsurge in the bundle of opportunities. The inflow of investment has led to creation of more employment in all the countries which eventually has boosted economies. This has subsequently helped in alleviating poverty from the developing nations and driving in prosperity. Thus,  mitigating economic disparities between the countries.

 

In addition to the above, globalisation has assisted the consumerist society to satisfy their growing requirements. Due to the cross-border trade, a plethora of products and services are easily accessible, blessing the population with a rich profusion of luxuries and comforts at similar prices and of identical quality. Most businesses launch their products across the globe at the same time,  allowing consumers to enjoy the produce without worrying about accessibility.  

 

To reiterate, globalization has united the national economies leading to mutual benefits. Thus, it can be safely said that the negative aspects of globalization do not eclipse the advantages.

Financial education should be a mandatory component of the school program. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?

 

Financial education should be a mandatory component of the school program. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?

There is a lobby that believes the incorporation of financial education in the school curriculum would be of great afford for the students. This essay will justify the rationale behind this proposal and discuss that of others.

Many have hailed the idea of integrating financial education as a part of the school program. This can be attributed to numerous reasons. It would help the students to comprehend the significance of money by learning procedures to spend their funds wisely/judiciously in life later on. As this knowledge today cannot be disseminated by parents due to their overwhelming indulgence in the professional realms, the onus thus falls on the formal tuition who must don the mantle of letting the youngsters grow as well-informed adults.  

Furthermore, schools with their well-planned courseware, trained and experienced faculty and conducive environment can ensure appropriate imparting of knowhow managing money. The knowledge delivered at schools is often not questioned but quietly embraced. but, in the process, the pupils will learn the strategies for the proper management of their earnings during their professional tenure by virtue of which they could enjoy a rich profusion of benefits in their twilight years, when people are vulnerable to several health issues since they would possess sufficient funds at their disposal to sustain their requirements.

However, some outrightly reject this proposal. As per their experience, despite optimism being expressed by supporters, little ones are likely to become money-minded and materialic too soon. This learning could affect their behavior too and make them value everything in financial terms. Moreover, the addition of such subjects would escalate their academic burden by posing immense pressure on the growing minds since they are already surrounded by a plethora of other more crucial disciplines.

To reiterate, I strongly believe that addition of financial knowhow in the education would enable the pupils to learn money management which will turn them responsible when they grow into adults.

There is an intriguing debate brewing up since there is a lobby that believes construction of new tourist attractions would be of great afford rather than revamping the existing heritage sites. This essay will justify the rationale behind this notion and explore whether this is favourable or unfavourable development.

 

A slew of people takes inspiration and ideas from these historical structures about their architecture, diverse art-forms, calligraphy styles, thereby stimulating creativity and imagination among masses. If these places get replaced by modern forms, people will end up losing the significant knowhow about conventional craftsmanship. Furthermore, these sites serve as an heirloom to the future generations by rendering individuals opportunities to explore their history and getting to know numerous cultural and traditional values which are associated with them.

 

On top of that, these places happen to be major tourist attractions which lure millions of alien visitors to come and experience nostalgia associated with a city and society, which also helps generate huge revenues. If these structures are razed to the ground to give way to modern ones, the past and the value of the place will be lost forever.    

 

However, since heritage buildings are stretched over a large area, they require a great deal of maintenance and abundance of energy  to keep them illuminated owing to which the idea of refurbishing has earned support from various quarters. It is felt, it would be better to replace these structures with more energy-efficient ones, which would help in saving public funds, and the land freed from such occupation could be allocated to other indispensable purposes.

 

To reiterate, despite the garnered support for building new structures, the notion of revamping these historical sites prevail and outshine its drawbacks. Hence, I do not concur with the statement.

Whenever people visit any country they behave in the same manner as they are inhabitants of that country. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Whenever people visit any country they behave in the same manner as they are inhabitants of that country. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

 

There is an intriguing debate brewing up since there is a lobby that believes travellers mould their conduct according to the natives of the host society to get familiar with the latter. This essay will justify the rationale behind this notion and share a logical conclusion.

 

With the exponential rise in globalization, a slew of people have started exploring different countries. By behaving like the inhabitants of the nation, travellers believe that they leave a lasting impression of affection towards hosts. By virtue of which they are able to establish harmonious relationships with the locals, thereby mitigating the disparities. Moreover, this helps them to afford a deeper insight into the lives of the people residing in that particular country by exploring a rich profusion of cultures and traditions.

 

Furthermore, this practice aids in creating the public perception of the country from which visitors belong to subsequently, leaving a positive influence on the residents to gauge the attitudes of societies from where the visitors hail. Due to which, this incites an inquisitiveness among the locals to discover the diversities across the globe, resulting in the strengthening feeling of brotherhood and fostering bonhomie.  

However, a section out rightly denies such integration. As  per this lobby,  barring a few, most travellers interact with host ways of lifes only to the extent of familiarizing and not adopting. They feel that they have ventured into an alien society for experiencing diversity rather than abandoning their own beliefs. This can be elucidated by the facilities offered by host countries to make the foreign travelers feel at home by contriving the environment tourists will find back home. 

 

To reiterate, despite some negative aspects of behaving in the same way like they are natives of the nation, people should brush aside their tribal attitudes and integrate themselves with people across the globe. Hence, I concur with the statement.

Some people believe that there should be a gap year after finishing high school (secondary school) and before starting university. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Some people believe that there should be a gap year after finishing high school (secondary school) and before starting university. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

College enrollment is a milestone that every individual desires to travel across at the earliest. There is a lobby that believes a break of one year after completing secondary education is indispensable. This essay will justify the rationale behind their perspective and discuss that of others.

A break of a year can render students an opportunity to get adequate time to ponder over their future prudently without being in a hurry. It can help them to discover the answer to the question, that is,  what to do next, thereby mitigating the intricacies involved in immediately choosing a career path right after their secondary education. Furthermore, they can avail counselling services during this gap for better guidance from the experts. 

Furthermore, after studying incessantly for fourteen years, and facing immense pressure, this respite provides them with a sigh of relief. Moreover, life at the university proves to be quite challenging for these novices. So, during this break year, they can develop some skills like communication, stress and time management, and so on, and ameliorate the existing ones as well to cope with the challenges they are likely to encounter in higher studies.  

However, some are skeptical of this practice. As per their experience,  some opting for such an arrangement have ended up suffering from anxiety disorders, depression, social phobias and so on, affecting their personalities adversely, when  they observe their peers enjoying college life. This might also lead them feeling inferior to their college going friends. Therefore, the gap year could sometimes result in severe repercussions on the psyche of the learners.

Overall, a break after secondary education has both pros and cons. However, the merits outstrip the drawbacks. Thus, I concur with the statement. Young learners should use this allowance to plan their future judiciously. From this perspective, the break after completing high school would be of great afford for them.

Modern lifestyles mean that many parents have little time for their children. Many children do not get as much attention from their parents as children did in the past. This is having a negative impact on the children. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Modern lifestyles mean that many parents have little time for their children. Many children do not get as much attention from their parents as children did in the past. This is having a negative impact on the children. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Child rearing has always been an arduous task. With the changing times, the way of leading lives has transformed drastically; pushing people to abandon the conventional ways of fostering their wards and leaving young ones bereft of care and attention in the process. There is a common perception this has a detrimental effect on a majority of children.

Nowadays, over  engagement of mothers and fathers in their professional pursuits is causing them to neglect their little ones. This is creating a void in the relationship between them and their wards by mitigating the understanding between them, thereby weakening the ties. Such an evolution, as many fear, might cause alienation among them due to lack of emotional connection.  

Moreover, this isolation deprives the growing minds of opportunities to embrace numerous skills and values. They do not get a chance to learn social, as well as moral values, and by virtue of which, some of them become introverts when they grow into adults, and due to the lack of confidence, they find it difficult to muster courage while approaching others.

Furthermore, parents fail to monitor the regular activities of their children which results in severe repercussions, leading to distortion in the behaviour as well as affecting the psyche of tender minds prominently since in the contemporary era, these unchecked youngsters are indulging extensively in the technology and consider it to be their mentor which plays a prominent role in shaping their lives.

To reiterate,  parents should consider child upbringing to be the utmost priority by rendering adequate time to their wards and monitor their conduct meticulously, otherwise neglecting them will leave a long lasting negative impact on the immature minds which would be irrevocable. Thus, I concur with the statement.

Technology, it is believed by some, has created more problems than it has solved. To what extent do you agree with this opinion?

The advent of technology has revolutionised all spheres of lives. However, there is a lobby that believes its emergence has done more harm than good. This essay will justify the rationale behind their perspective and discuss that of others.

Many are in favour of the claim. Technology has turned people into its slaves since they prefer to remain glued to the latest innovations for hours by relinquishing all their social connections. Besides this, it pushes them to lead a sedentary lifestyle which makes them vulnerable to a plethora of health issues such as obesity, weakening of eyesight, back pains, and many more.

However, there are those who outrightly reject this perception. As per them, technology has enabled the world to evolve into a global village by exposing the global citizens to a wide array of opportunities in the field of education, business, entertainment, and so on, across the length and breadth of the globe rather than being confined to their political and geographical boundaries. Moreover, this advancement has engendered more interactions across the globe by curbing possibilities of conflicts as well as disparities, thereby fostering bonhomie by establishing harmonious relationships among people.

Furthermore, due to the technological intervention, people are no longer required to engage themselves in the tedious and repetitive procedure at workplace; consequently, saving the most precious commodity, that is time, which can be further utilised for other imperative functions where the staff could augment productivity and efficiency; thus, boosting the economies.

To reiterate, I hardly subscribe to such a notion, since despite having some negative aspects of the integration of technology in the lives of the people, its positive aspects prevail since it has prompted numerous opportunities, has mitigated the discrepancies around the world, and has strengthened the economies.

Ielts Essay Transport Migration  

Moving people back into the cities to rid of challenges posed by urban traffic and transportation, seems to be a radical solution and can go a long way in rendering an ease to the urbanites.  

Many advocate implementing this idea and feel it could bring a sea change in  the way people live in urban societies. This view is primarily based on the assumption that the majority of motorists and public modes of transit that ply on/ use the city roads hail from areas lying outside the municipal limits of the urban locations. Those  entering and leaving the cities must brave long travel and distance every day. If these people were made to dwell in the same urban locations where they work, they would be spared of covering long distances every day. The shorter drive would only use the shorter stretches and that also for brief moments rather than hours. Similarly, this would affect limited parts instead of the whole urban road network. 

Additionally,  since the brief commute and travel would also afford security to people, especially the women, youngsters and the elderly, many may feel encouraged to switch to public modes of transit like buses and metro trains if their homes and workplaces lie in close proximity to each other.Since these modes could also be used in the late evenings safely, further inspiring the commuters to use these. On top of that, many policy makers and town planners are quite optimistic that many fitness enthusiasts might also be inspired to abandon mechanized modes of transportation and switch to simpler means like bicycles. This would surely help in thinning the traffic.

Therefore, there is hardly any reservation to be expressed regarding the efficacy of this revolutionary concept, and I absolutely concur with the impact this will have on urban roads. Moreover, I feel this could also help stem urban sprawl, an indirect benefit
