Writing task Even though developing countries receive financial help, poverty is still an issue.

Some say they should be receiving other kind of help, to eliminate poverty. To what extent do you agree or disagree? ive examples and suggest what other form of help can be offered. You should spend about 40 minutes on this task and write at least 250 words. !ntroduction " version # Millennia have passed but the problem of poverty still hounds mankind. So-called developed countries have largely tamed this issue; however, developing countries are still suffering despite receiving billions of dollars in the form of international aid. It is clear that simply providing monetary assistance will not be sufficient and radical approach is required on the part of the rich nations to deal with the menace of poverty in the hird !orld. !ntroduction " version $ In the wake of the present financial crisis that has swept across most of the rich world, questions are being raised as to why governments of these nations are giving financial aid to the developing countries when this money yields little tangible results. Intelligentsia has proposed non-monetary measures to help poor countries deal with the problem of poverty more effectively. I sincerely agree that the age-old system of pouring money into the bottomless pit of developing nations should be changed for good. %rgument # "overty alleviation programs are nothing less than large scale national pro#ects. In most of the cases, developing countries lack e$perience to implement these pro#ects. %ich nations, with their proven track record in such ventures, can provide great help by providing the know-how and guidance in implementation of the right systems. %rgument $ he root cause of poverty is not shortage of money but lack of knowledge on how to generate wealth. It has been aptly said, &'ive a man a fish and you feed him for a day. each a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.( )eveloped nations need to take active interest in education and skill development of citi*ens of poor countries. %rgument & "rograms that link aid to performance are bound to offer better results. he governments in the hird !orld have wrongly found a virtue in being poor, as they know they are likely to get financial aid on humanitarian grounds. his leaves them with no sense of accountability. If rich nations toughen their stand and provide aid only when improvements are visible, based on predetermined criteria, we are more likely to see reduction in poverty. %rgument ' he whole practice of offering financial aid to developing countries has to be reworked. !hat are the reasons for a country like India, which is the tenth largest economy that rubs shoulders with powerful nations on several international fora, to continue being one of the biggest recipients of international monetary help+ International aid agencies still provide financial assistance on the basis of the number of underprivileged people in a nation. his logic is flawed; hence, they need to devise new ways to help reduce poverty in these countries. (onclusion In conclusion, there is an urgent need to change the antediluvian system of providing financial aid to developing countries. Instead, education, skill development, and performance linked schemes need to be emphasi*ed to bring hope to the lives of the poor in developing countries. )ocabulary Millennia, hounds, tamed, radical, menace, hird !orld, swept across, yields, tangible, Intelligentsia, bottomless pit, alleviation, know-how, generate wealth, aptly, bound, virtue, humanitarian grounds, toughen Writing task

Some say that public health is important and there should be more sports facilities. *thers say that they have small impact on individuals. +iscuss both views and give your opinion. You should spend about 40 minutes on this task and write at least 250 words. !ntroduction "ublic health has been the primary concern not only for civilians but also for governments around the globe. ,owever, when it comes to measures of its improvement, views differ greatly. )iew # " arguments #. Since sports facilities are of great benefit to citi*ens- physical health, it is absolutely necessary and wise to enhance their numbers for the sake of the improvement of public health. $. Sports facilities that are easily found and controlled can provide great convenience to people who have paucity of time to take physical e$ercises more fle$ibly. &. Sports facilities are particularly welcomed by senior citi*ens and youngsters whose health is vital to the whole society. herefore, more sports facilities should be built to meet the great demand of citi*ens of all ages. '. here is no doubt that taking regular physical e$ercise reduces the incidence of obesity and heart diseases to some e$tent, so that increasing the number of sports facilities in the local communities can help some people to establish an active lifestyle, thereby improving their health condition. )iew $ " arguments #. It is a fact that only a minority of people utili*e facilities at sports centres to keep fit, which means the vast ma#ority of people do not benefit from this programme. $. Some people argue that the use of sports facilities is restricted by time, seasons and location. herefore, they are not suitable for all citi*ens, especially those working from .am till /pm. &. Modern diseases are triggered by various factors, such as eating unhealthy food and neglecting regular checkups. ,ence, it is recommended that governments and health authorities put health education among the masses high on their agenda and raise public awareness on health issues. his can be accomplished by delivering information on how to lead a healthy life to every household, and putting stringent regulations on the fast food industry. *pinion Improving public health requires a combined effort and no single action can resolve the problem effectively. In addition, although solving the problem is not insurmountable, yet a long term commitment by both individuals and governments is required. )ocabulary paucity, stringent, vital, incidence, obesity, triggered, advocate, accomplish, neglecting, insurmountable

To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement? %ecently, the demands of natural resources have risen dramatically across the world due to population growth. Some people state that we have not enough resources. ,owever, there are some individuals who disagree with this opinion. In this essay, the issues behind this phenomenon will be e$amined. 0n the one hand, some people state that if the number of natural resource will continue to degrease we cannot have a comfortable life because natural resources are limited. 1ccording to agovernment

research in the 2S1 shows that if this situation will continue, the petrol will lose in 34/4. Moreover, it is widely said that the number of population in the world will increase. his will make the amount of natural resource decrease. 0n the other hand, there are some individuals who disagree with above-mentioned perception. he demands of natural resources will be lessen owning to improving the technology. 5or e$ample, the developments of technology such as electronic cars gave a positive impact in the society. 6y using this, we can decline the consumption of natural resources. 7ventually, we will not need natural fuel. In my opinion, decreasing of natural resource is quite crisis, I think the loss of it give a negative impact in the society because even we won-t have a comfortable life any more. In conclusion, I agree with the idea that there is no longer enough natural resources to sustain this situation. In order to defense our life, the governments every countries should tackle this issue.

topic- Should students travel?

Some people think that students who don2t take a break in studies between the high school and the university are at disadvantage compared to students who travel and work after high school

before further continuing their education. +o you agree or disagree? 8owadays, in our competitive world, to succeed, knowledge from school and university is not enough. herefore, students who study from the school to university get fewer benefits and contribute less too, compared to those student who travel or work and get e$perience and skills before going high. here are two following reasons to support for my opinion. I refer to the group of people who study from school to university as 9group 1- and the other group : as 9group 6-. 5irstly, at school and university, what group 1 gains is almost entirely theory, theory and theory. 0f course, theory is veryneccessary, however, you can-t do everything with #ust theory. ;ou must have praticeable e$perience. his is what group 1 lack very much. 1lthough in the third of forth year at university, group 1 can be apprentices in some companies, to help them approach their future #obs, they aren-t trained well because of the short time spent working. 1nd the real #ob is still very strange to them. 1fter graduating, without e$perience, group 1 students can-t accomplish their work perfectly. 0n the other hand, it takes them time and money to keep up with other e$perienced students and they may be scorned. herefore, group 1 students can contribute less than group 6 who have the two most important things< skills and e$perience. Secondly, as group 1 students are contributing less, they surely get less benefit. Moreover, many companies which employ people in group 1 have to train them from ground-up. hese companies take this cost from group 1-s salary to reduce the risk of their employees leaving to other companies after being trained. So, less benefits are unavoidable and certain, !hereas group 6 members are more loyal and effective workers. hey also have useful e$perience and skills. 6esides, their education is the same as or even higher than that of group 1. 1s the result, group 6 gets more benefits absolutely. In conclusion, I think a student should travel or work before going to the university. hat way, not only will they have basic knowledge but also skills and e$perience which are useful for them to get a good #ob and have a brilliant future. This essay is too long ("5 words instead of 25 ). To fight this problem, try to write in a more general form and provide fewer details. The use of language and ideas are good and so is the essay structure.

3oys are most influenced by their fathers and girls are most influenced by their mothers. +o you agree or disagree? /se specific reasons to support your opinion. It is true that nowadays parent have a great influence over thechildren. Some people hold the opinion that the same se$ is the ma#or determination of influencing parent, but others have a negative attitude. 1s far as I am concerned, I agree that boys are most influenced by their fathers and girls are most influenced by their mothers. My arguments for this point are listed below. 5irst of all, a father is the person who have already passed thatways which are his son is passing now, in other words, sons are following their father-s footsteps. So, based on e$perience it is easy for a father to notice his sons- drawbacks and to influence them. Secondly, it is true that a boy is countedas a strong characteristics human , but a girl is a subtle and fragile one. It is hard for mothers to influence their sons, because it is not likely that vulnerable something can affect a strong one. In conclusion, it seems to me unfair that boys are most influenced by their mothers. 6ased on at least two points above I strongly agree that children are influenced by a parent of the same gender. This essay is too short, #$ words instead of the minimum re!uirement of 25 . %t doesn&t say anything about girls being influenced by their mothers, which is also a part of the task ' therefore the task is only partially covered. The sentences are not comple( enough, there are grammatical mistakes and inaccuracies (see comments underlined in blue). )verall, this looks like a *and 5.5 essay

topic- /niversity money better spent on libraries or sports /niversities should allocate the same amount of money to their sport activities as they allocate to their libraries. +o you agree or disagree? ;es, I do feel that universities should have an equal budget for their libraries as well as = sport activities. It is our general belief that a good player can not be = good student and hence we restrict our children-s sport activities at college level. Moreover, an academic degree has much more value than sport activities which naturally compels students to focus more on their studies than their interest in sport. Most of the universities keep sports at last number of their priority list, because of which good players do not get enough facilities andequipments to improve their skills and eventually they loose their interest.2niversities can play = substantial role in shaping this upcoming talent by providing good trainers and equipments which is otherwise too e$pensive to afford. 1lso it will attract other students towards sports and inculcate importance of physical fitness in them. 2niversities should produce genious in all fields rather than only concentrating on progress of scholars. ,ence, I feel that universities should allot equal amounts of money to liabrary as well as sport activities. +our essay too short, the introduction is good, as is the first paragraph but you must offer more arguments regarding why you agree or disagree. There are many spelling, punctuation and article errors. The essay is easy to follow but has the appearance of the writer running short of time.

8owadays people like to change their day by day activities according to the latest trends and also they are following popular things what their surrounding peoples make them popular in their area. his essay will e$plain the reason why the people are spending more time for popular hobbies rather than their individual activities. ,obbies and interest are different for everyone; this is the human nature,which is given by god. he current generations peoples are very much interest in the latest trend which makes them happy and also help them to make more money. 5or e$ample, cricket is the most famous game in many of the country, children and teen ages are starts playing it whenever they have free time in their daily life. his makes them will become a star in this game when they reach a certain age in their life.

To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion? Serious crimes need capital punishment so that the offender are unable to get involved in the crime in the future. ,owever, If they want to stop the acts of violation in the future then it would be better to forget him and #udge him for a change . 0verall, I agree with the fact that punishment is the way to avoid the crime to be increased and hence our lives become more secure. If the wrongdoer wants to be a good man and there is a particular financial or personal problem that led him to the wrong way, then it would be the nice option to forgive him and try to solve the problem he have. 1lthough by this way, some bad manmay become effective part of the society but some do not bring themselves to the right path because they are very much used to of it. he person that = involved in the crime and never try to stop the law-breaking act should be punished in the e$tremely serious way. ,owever, it totally depends on the nature of crime. Somecrime led to a capital punishment and some may require a small penalty. he law-making institutions are responsible to bring the bad man to the right level of punishment that he deserves. If there is weak legislation to properly handle the offender, it may become our society less secure for the good man. he

government should be the responsible authority to provide a secure and better state to live. >aws should be implemented and e$ecuted in the most proper way that do not allow the offender to commit violent acts or to break the law in any way and to any e$tent. o sum up, it is the responsibility of the state runner to stop people to involved in crime. It may be done through solving the problems of the people that led them to commit that violence act or by the punishment accordingly. /here are the paragraphs0 This is a good essay1 however there are many small mistakes that might cost you dearly. There are also several unclear e(pressions and grammatical errors. +ou should rewrite it, giving more thought to what is re!uired, e.g. paragraphs.
