Most people think that professional sportsmen/sports women behavior on or off the field are
not important as long as they are good players.To what extent do u agree or disagree with it?

In the contemporary era, it is argued that the behavior of professional sports persons does not matter if
they perform well on the field. This essay completely disagrees the statement, because sports persons
judged for their behavior and are always under the media's radar. The following paragraphs would
highlight my personal perspective along with apt examples.

There are several reasons sports persons behavior off the field is important. First and foremost being ,
they are looked upon as role models. In others words, successful sportsperson enjoy a lot of fame and
success.They are well known throughout out the world, as a result, many children emulate their
behavior and actions in their everyday life,in short, they buy their jerseys and copy their playing style. In
addition to this, professional athletes have to be careful not to promote products which causes damage
to one's health. For instance, a famous basketball player rejected doing an advertisement about a liquor
brand , thinking about the consequences as we was widely admired worldwide. That is why it is more
important to be good and a responsible citizen off the field

Adding further, athletes are under scrutiny for their behavior on the field too. To substantiate, they are
epitome of one's own country. Firstly , one should show calm and composure at all times during the
game. There may be moments when one loses his cool and this frustration is expressed by hurting the
opponent team members which can be avoided by constantly reminding oneself of not tarnishing the
country's image. For example, a famous French footballer, punched his opponent on the face during the
final minutes of the game and till this day that particular player is described for his bad actions rather
than his playing style. Furthermore some of the sports persons have a explicit way of celebrating a goal
or a team's win which needs to be curbed.

To conclude, I strongly believe that sports persons need to be mindful of their behavior on and off the
field as they are a source of inspiration to thousands of fans worldwide.

2. More and more people are working at home rather than at the workplace.Some people say
that this will bring benefits to the workers anbd their families, but others think that it will bring stress
to the home.Discuss both views and give your opinion.

There is a rise in the number of employees working from home. Some people argue that working from
home is advantageous to the individual and their families, while others say that it only increases the
stress .In this essay, I shall explain my point of view by analyzing both sides of the argument.

On the one hand , by working at home one can be stressed out. To begin with, when the employees are
at home their time is just not limited to office hours. In other words, the company expects them to be
attend to any critical issues during off peak hours which is mainly during night times. By stressing out so,
the employee might deteriorate his health which affects his family in the long run. For example, a recent
survey by Times magazine claims high stress levels are found among software employees working from
home. However, I believe that stress can be overcome with the right attitude, proper diet and exercise.
On the other hand, work from home has some benefits of its own. To begin with, one can get to spend
time with the family which reinforces the bonding. This is more important when the kids are at an young
age which develops in them a sense of security. Furthermore, one can save time commuting to
workplace and compensate the same towards overall physical and mental well being. For instance, by
working from home the individual can have own office setup which is convenient and affords privacy .
Therefore I believe that this method is preferable because it not only aids one to become a better
individual by decreasing the stress levels but also improves familial ties.

In conclusion, although working from home is stressful because one has to be available round the clock,
my personal opinion is, setting up office at home aids in the decrease of overall stress.

3. Airline Companies in many countries have reduced the cost of tickets. Discuss whether this is
positive or negative developments. Give some examples based on your own experience.

There is has been a recent rise in the number of tourists travelling globally, as such the demand has
fueled to the rise of many airlines companies. This has resulted in the low prices of the airline tickets. In
my opinion, I believe this is to be a positive impact . The following paragraphs would highlight my
personal perspective along with an apt examples.

There are several reasons, I see eye to eye with this positive development. First and foremost
is, reduction in the prices of the tickets means, more people can now afford air travel. In other
words, previously, people were confined to their country, but now people wishing to travel to
other destinations can reserve their flight tickets at the lowest prices just by the click of a
button. As a result, even an average middle class family can travel by air. For example, British
Airways has come with a ticket auction scheme where one can bid the ticket at the lowest
possible price. That is why low ticket prices is a positive development where the people as well
as the companies are benefitted.

Adding further, reduction in ticket prices has seen a rise in the tourists. To substantiate, tourism
can be a epitome of a country, where unusual destinations, picturesque locations attract a
larger section of the audience. Airline Companies are competing with each by offering the
lowest price possible to famous tourist attractions with special packages. For instance, Emirates
offers free accommodation if one buys more than three tickets.. Last but not least reduction in
ticket prices attracts more passengers which eventually leads to companies looking to invest in
a particular country which can be a boon for the economy.

In conclusion, I strongly believe that charging low ticket prices is a positive development the
people can enjoy and the nations can flourish.

4. For some people, shopping is not just about buying what is necessary, but a form of
entertainment. Do you think it is a positive or a negative development?
Shopping has evolved from a necessity to a form of entertainment. In my opinion, I believe this
has a positive impact as this aids in the development of the economy and more employment
opportunities.

There are several reasons, shopping is now synonymous with the word entertainment. Firstly
most of the companies are now coming up various attractive designs and new models once
every six months. Two decade ago, people bought goods and services to satisfy their basic
needs and now luxury has become the key factor people and do not have second thoughts in
buying the stuff. This trend helps in the growth of the economy as more taxes are being paid
which directly goes to the government vault. For example, the city of Dubai is funded mostly by
the money that being spent at the shopping malls.

Adding further, for some individuals shopping is more like therapy. To substantiate, a recent
medical research has recommended shopping for individuals to overcome inferiority complex.
Shopping malls are now at the every corner of the city where more number of people come to
spend their time during the weekend for relaxation purpose and they end up buying thing or
two. In additions to this, shopping malls provide a number of employment opportunities to
people who like to setup eateries and movie inside the mall and this in turn is a boon to the
shoppers which adds truth to the saying, "Shop till you drop".

In conclusion, it seems to me that shopping has turned into a means of entertainment and
therefore I believe that this transition has a positive impact on the economy as it helps to
improves the economy and life of the people on the whole.

5. Being a celebrity - such as famous film star or sports personality - brings problems as well as
benefits.

Do you think that being a celebrity brings more benefits or more problems?

Celebrities and famous personalities are always on the media radar. It is argued that being a famous
movie star or a sports personality has its own pros and cons. In my opinion, I believe a well known
personality , one is always under scrutiny which brings about drawbacks.

Living the life of a celebrity means, one cannot have a private life. This because of the fact that, they are
constantly hounded by the media and as a result one cannot lead an independent life. This means that,
one has to be careful while making any statements in the public as this might be misinterpreted and
turned against the person. For example, in my country a well known movie star was forcibly brought
into politics even though he did not show any interest but had to take this role only for the sake of fans.

Another reason being famous means less time for oneself. There is always a constant pressure to be
better than your peers due to which one is seen working round the clock. This can take a toll on the
person's health and the fact that most of the public figures suffer from insomnia .The instinct to be
better makes one take performance enhancing drugs and also in the course of time gets addicted to
alcohol which ultimately deteriorates the health and damages the career. For instance, Dennis, a
famous American basketball player spoiled his own career as he was caught by the anti doping agency
consuming a banned substance during a game.

In conclusion, the perks of being famous comes has more drawbacks where one is devoid of leading an
independent life and also being scrutinized by the modern society.

6. Some people prefer to live in hot climates and like the activities and lifestyle of hot climates,
whereas some people love the lifestyle of cold climates. Discuss both views and your own view. You
should add some examples from your own knowledge or experience.

Some people claim that hot climatic conditions are suitable to them whereas others prefer cold
weather. In my opinion, I believe, the former to be more suitable to individuals and the economy as a
whole.

On the one hand, people live in cold climatic conditions as they tend to escape the hot sun. Most of the
people are allergic to the ultraviolet rays which causes skin cancer and as a result they avoid the
sweltering heat. During winters people feel lazy and would like to stay indoors. In addition to this, winter
is mostly during the holidays which is the time for family reunions. The business of few industries is at a
all time low.For instance, winters vacations cost much less in Canada as most of the people fear
travelling during snow storms and as a result tourism industry takes a hit during this season. Therefore I
believe that, there might be some temporary relief from heat during winter but this is the time when
human activity productivity is low.

On the other hand, hot tropical regions witness a great deal of productivity. In terms of environment,
agriculture is very much benefitted during this time as most of the crops yield better results. which is a
positive sign for the economy. The energy levels of the people are at a all time high as this season calls
for a lot of outdoor activities which increases our physical stamina thus making us strong inside out. For
example, my company plans their office parties during hot summers so that most of the employees can
actively participate. I believe that this type of hot weather conditions are most suitable for individuals as
well as for the environment.

In conclusion, although people preferring cold weather conditions tend to get lazy, activities during
summer is productive for the individual as well as for the economy.

7. Many believe think that professional sportsmen/sportswomen's behavior on or off the field
are not important as long as they are good player. Do you agree or disagree.

In the contemporary era, it is argued that the behavior of professional sports persons does not matter if
they perform well on the field. This essay completely disagrees the statement, because sports persons
judged for their behavior and are always under the media's radar. The following paragraphs would
highlight my personal perspective along with apt examples.

There are several reasons sports persons behavior off the field is important. First and foremost being ,
they are looked upon as role models. In others words, successful sportsperson enjoy a lot of fame and
success.They are well known throughout out the world, as a result, many children emulate their
behavior and actions in their everyday life,in short, they buy their jerseys and copy their playing style. In
addition to this, professional athletes have to be careful not to promote products which causes damage
to one's health. For instance, a famous basketball player rejected doing an advertisement about a liquor
brand , thinking about the consequences as we was widely admired worldwide. That is why it is more
important to be good and a responsible citizen off the field

Adding further, athletes are under scrutiny for their behavior on the field too. To substantiate, they are
epitome of one's own country. Firstly , one should show calm and composure at all times during the
game. There may be moments when one loses his cool and this frustration is expressed by hurting the

than his playing style. Furthermore some of the sports persons have a explicit way of celebrating a goal
or a team's win which needs to be curbed.

To conclude, I strongly believe that sports persons need to be mindful of their behavior on and off the
field as they are a source of inspiration to thousands of fans worldwide.

8. Some people prefer to stay in the same type of work all their life, and others prefer to change
their jobs from time to time. Discuss both sides and state your own opinion. Give reasons for your
answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

Work is an activity which keep us productive throughout our life's. There is an ongoing debate that some
people continue with the same job their entire life, while other say that it is always better to change
jobs on a frequent basis. In this essay, I shall explain my point of view by analyzing both sides of the
argument.

There are several reasons why can do the same work on a daily routine basis. To begin with, getting
used to the same type of job with the same company makes one expert in that particular field. In the
course of time, one may gain name and fame among his peers which solidifies the position in the
company and thus providing job security. On the contrary, most of the employees are afraid of changing
the jobs as they do not want to risk their career and families, for instance, moving to a different city on a
new job contract means, a different environment for the kids and the family , where they have to start
everything from the scratch. As a result, people have their own second thoughts as most of them are
looking for stability. However I am completely against this idea because staying in the same job might
devoid the employee of the much needed growth.

On the other hand, those who argue that people need to change their jobs have a different view and
say that it can actually be a good thing. Firstly, people looking for new jobs on a timely basis means they
are open to new opportunities. This switching of jobs on a constant basis benefits their career as they
can learn a variety of things, , which enhances their experience leading to a increase their salaries.
These changes can cause people to be exposed to new work culture and ethics where ideas can be
exchanged which aids in one's own development. Therefore, I believe that switching jobs on a yearly
basis benefits the individual and provides for a better life.
In conclusion, although working at the same job provides stability in one's life, it does not make one
financially strong and gain knowledge and that is why it is more important to keep switching jobs on a
regular basis.

9. Nowadays, some celebrities such as film stars, sportsmen and pop musicians are paid too
much money. Do you agree or disagree? Which jobs should be highly paid?

Celebrities are paid exorbitant sums of money for their services. In the contemporary era, there is a
heated argument over the issue that famous film stars, successful sportsmen and popular musicians are
paid huge remunerations. In my opinion, I completely agree with the statement. The following
paragraphs would highlight my personal perspective along with apt examples.

I see eye to eye with the central idea for various reasons. Firstly, celebrities like actors and musicians
work hard in their respective industries. This because of the heavy competition among their peer where
one bad film or a music album might lead to a bad mouthing among the audience putting one's career
in jeopardy. To counteract this effect, artists toil throughout their career unmindful of the timings and
also the harsh weather conditions. For instance, a famous Hollywood actor got worldwide acclamation
as he got into the skin of a particular character which he did by staying aloof from his family researching
on the character for about three week and finally when film saw a huge surge in the collections at the
box office window. Therefore I believe that, artists sacrificing their comforts and personal life for the
sak eof entertaining others deserve to be rewarded handsomely.

Adding further, among the highly paid are the spor

10. 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?

It is argued that voluntary social activities must be made mandatory as part of the high school course
curriculum. This essay agrees with this idea because it inculcates in the students a sense of responsibility
and also by involving in such activities they can get to observe the society from close quarters and
making them a better individual.

Attending unpaid community services brings great benefits to the high school students. Now-a-days ,
majority of the students are more always hooked up to the technological gadgets thus being completely
ignorant of the happenings in the outside world. The programs are to be designed in such a way so as to
create a positive environment and so that students are reared and raised in a holistic way. This
balanced approach not only improves their social life but also raises their perception about outdoor life.
For example making the students work for a charity organizations at remote areas or teaching a sports
activity to some younger children can be considered as the some of the appropriate methods on how to
make the high school children garner interest in the outside community instead of living for themselves.

By being associated and participating in the society related activities such as volunteer campaigns and
charity organizations can help student's career in the long run. For example if an applicant who has
the same qualification and experience as others candidates applies for a scholarship or other
competitive jobs, his past activities for the interest of the community makes an outstanding
contribution and helps one to gain an upper hand over others. According to a survey by the Time's
magazine, children who show active participation in voluntary community activities are motivated to
become great political leaders.

In conclusion, educational institutions should come up with more unpaid obligatory programs for their
high school students for the benefit of their physical and mental well-being.

11. People should follow the customs and traditions when people start to live in a new country. To
what extent do you agree or disagree?

In modern day life there is a influx of immigrants to other nations looking for a better standard of living.
Many people advocate that people should adapt to the local customs and traditions when they settle in
a new country. This essay totally agrees with this statement because by doing so people easily adjust to
the new communities and also it helps them to get along socially well with the new inhabitants.

Newcomers to any host country should blend into local culture without any inhibitions. Refusing to
adapt to the host environment might create cultural differences with the neighbors. This leads to social
isolation where one develops a feeling of being rejected by the society which eventually leads to
depression. Furthermore being unaware of the customs might lead to some illegal actions where the
local people can be unpleased. For instance, Singapore one of the cleanest countries in Asia, it is
considered against the rules and norms to litter or spit gum in public places where a heavy fine is levied.

Immigrants have a host of benefits if they adapt to the customs and traditions of a new country. They
should shed any inhibitions and mix freely with the local inhabitants so that they are accept into the new
society. By interacting with the local residents one develops trust and respect in the long run which is
mutual. For example, individuals looking to expand one's own company must be aware of the local
business practices and ethics to maximize profits. In addition to this, being aware of a country's heritage
enables the newcomers to actively participate in the local festivals and mix freely with them thus
establishing a harmonious relationship with the locals in the society.

In conclusion, it is always best to for the immigrants or visitors dwelling in the new country to follow
local customs and traditions.

12. When choosing a job, the salary is the most important consideration. To what extent do you
agree or disagree?

Money makes the world go around is the most popular saying. It is argued that salary is most important
factor to be considered when choosing a job. This essay totally agrees with the statement because one
needs money in the form of salary to meet the daily expenses and it can also be the biggest motivator
for better job performance.

Salary in any form is the livelihood of the people in the world. Right from a daily wage labor to people in
white collar jobs earn salary which is the means of survival. In the first place, getting a salary on a
monthly basis would help them to incur family expenditure which might include paying domestic bills
and also satisfying the needs of the family. Therefore getting a salary on a time to time basis would ease
the financial burden and the result would be a better standard of living. For example, I understand the
importance of getting paid monthly compared to my initial career days where I had to struggle as a free
intern.

Salary can be the biggest motivator for a better job performance. Employees who put in the hard work
and the extra hours in their daily routine at work are entitled to some great company perks. With the
financial benefits in the mind they get the job done within the deadline period making sure at the same
time their quality of the work is never compromised. As a result, they are conferred with huge salary
bonuses along with cash benefits which encourages the employees to perform better. For example, the
Sunday Times recently asked a number of software professionals if they were willing to work extra hour
sfor double the monthly salary and most of them said yes.

In conclusion, salary is the deciding factor when taking up a job because it not only helps for one's
survival but also can be the force behind a person to perform well in the job.

13. Some people think that spending a lot on holding wedding parties, birthday parties and other
celebrations is just a waste of money. Others, however, think that these are necessary for individuals
and the society. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

Some people say that lavish expenditure on birthday parties and wedding celebrations is a form of
wasting money, while others argue that these kind of expenses are mandatory for people and the
communities. While such rich celebrations helps one to follow the customs and traditions, I believe that
diverting the financial resources to a social cause is a better solution.

On the one hand, previously celebrations in the family were age old and a mix of social practices where
many families come together making it a grand family affair. In the long run, the traditions have been
lost and it's become a mere display of wealth and one's status. People try to impress their guests by
treating to them a huge food spread which is followed by cultural programs and these arrangements
are a huge financial strain on the individual sponsoring it. For example, in India spending huge amounts
of money on such events is considered to be a status quo. However, I believe that such celebrations
might get recognition for a family in the society which is only short lived and the money can be utilized
in the betterment of the society.

On the other hand, an individual might spent all his life savings just to impress others and by doing so he
might get into debts which in turn might adversely affect his health. It might be better in the interest of
either parties to invest on immovable assets which can be the best form to utilize money thus providing
a sense of financial security in the long run. For example, European weddings take places in the church
in the presence of orphans and mostly the money and the gifts involved is for charity purposes. I believe
that by following such methods we are not only investing money in a proper way but also for the
betterment of others.
In conclusion, although marriage and birthday celebrations on a grand scale defines the significance of
one's culture and tradition, celebrating such events on a low key and diverting the funds for the welfare
of those in need can truly be a blessing in disguise.

14. Some people think that it is best to live in a horizontal city while others think of a vertical city.
Discuss both views and give your opinion.

The idea whether residing in horizontal or vertical cities is more beneficial remains the subject of
argument. While some individuals prefer living in horizontal central, I am of the opinion that it is always
better to reside in high -rise vertical buildings.

On one hand, horizontal buildings has its own notable merits. Firstly, from an economic perspective the
service expenditure and the maintenance costs are at a nominal rate. Residents are not charged for
monthly parking fee as they have their own parking slots right in front of their houses. Furthermore
there is no security or elevator charges as people merely reside in duplex houses. Secondly in case of
emergency due to natural disasters such as fire or earth quake one can quickly evacuate the premises.
However I believe that, living in horizontal city means isolation between neighbors and also there is a
constant threat to one's security.

On the other hand, staying in high-rise buildings can resolve the shortage of accommodation in
metropolitan cities as there is frequent population explosion in such areas. For example the city of New
York is the most populous city where a large number of residents reside in sky scrapers. Moreover in
such multistory apartments the civilians experience a co-habitant environment .These building provide a
wide range of goods and services, for instance in Tokyo, basement of these building consists
gymnasiums, auditoriums , recreation centre, super markets which creates convenience for the home
dwellers at a maximum rate. I believe that staying this way is preferable this creates more of a family
based environment in lieu of the solo-dwelling private houses.

In conclusion, although horizontal cities do provides us with much needed privacy and eases our
financial burden, it creates a sense of isolation and that why it is more important to stay in high-rise
building which keeps us closer to the community thus creating a sense of oneness where people can
coexist peacefully.

15. Some people think rest and sleep are the best methods to relax while others think that it can
be done by involving in some activities like sports.

Discuss both views and give your opinion? Give your opinion

Relaxing the body is the way to rejuvenate oneself and prepare for the day ahead of us. Some people
argue that the best form of relaxing is by sleeping and resting the body while others are of the opinion
that playing sports helps to relax the body. While sports seems to be a quick and easy solution, I believe
that resting at regular intervals and getting a good night's sleep is the best form of relaxation.

On the one hand, getting involved in a sports activity provides a relief during a hectic schedule. To
begin with, sports taken up as a hobby provides a good amount of physical activity and as a result a feel
good hormone called endorphins are released in the brain which is main source for the feeling of
relaxation. As a result of these hormones generation most of the stress we encounter in our daily life is
reduced thus helping us feel relaxed. For example, most of the schools are encouraging children to
participate in sports for a minimum of sixty minutes a day which helps them to calm their mind and
perform better at academics. However, I believe sports makes a person physically tired and thus one
might lose interest in performing other tasks through the day.

On the other hand, sleeping itself is a form of relaxation where the mind is calmed and the body is
recharged. Earlier scientists proposed a 8-hour sleeping schedule for a better and a happy life. People
seem to be completely ignorant of the same and consequently due to lack of proper sleep and resting
schedule their health is deteriorated in the long run. Even though one has a busy schedule resting and
catching up with short naps in between soothes the mind and helps the body to relax. For example
Japan has caught up with the trend of arranging sleeping pods at work places and this form of relaxation
increased the productivity of the employees. I believe that taking rest by sleeping method is preferable
as it certainly benefits both the body and the mind.

In conclusion, although sport related activities provides some form of relaxation it obviously exerts a lot
of physical strain and that is why it is more important to relax on the whole either by sleeping or resting.

16. A country is experiencing population growth and needs more homes. Should these new homes
be constructed in the existing cities or should new towns be built for this purpose? Explain.

The recent census has seen a rapid rise in the global population. Some people think that to contain this
increase in population new homes need to be built in the main city areas whereas others are of the
opinion that housing construction should be taken up in the city which paves the way for new towns.
This essay agrees with later statement because, with the construction of new towns there can be myriad
of opportunities and also a better lifestyle.

On the one hand, cities are considered as a hotspot for all the latest happenings with most of the top
companies and educational institutions concentrated in and around the city. To begin with, due to lack
of space constraints only tall rise buildings are possible in the city where apartments blocks are
crammed over the top of one another thus leaving less space for light to brighten up the homes. In
addition to this, more number of residents in the cities means increase in the vehicles resulting in
frequent traffic congestions and high levels of pollution. For example, in the city of New York vertical
buildings occupy every street and this has caused a serious issue to the underground sewerage system
resulting in the breakage of pipes leading to frequent flooding of the streets. Therefore I believe that by
constructing new houses adds to more woes to the already existing ones.

On the other hand, construction of houses giving rise to new towns in the city outskirts provides a better
lifestyle. Firstly, these new towns help to create ample of employment opportunities and moreover
development of town attracts more educational institutions to be setup in and around the areas. Living
away from the noises of the city provides for a better health and also one can have more privacy. To
further illustrate this, a recent survey by a housing magazine revealed that construction of houses in
suburbs leading to new cities and towns is attracting a majority of the population who prefer living away
from the congested city areas. Finally I believe that constructing new town houses is the best way to
control the population expansion.

In conclusion, although constructing a house in the existing cities might not be a feasible in the long run
due to disadvantages like lack of space and a noisy environment, construction of houses leading to new
towns calls for a more peaceful lifestyle.

17. Some parents and teachers believe that children’s behavior should be strictly controlled, while
others think that children should be allowed to grow up in their own way.

Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

It is a well-known fact that good behavior dictates a better future. It is argued that children should be
groomed in a strict environment whereas others believe that they should left for themselves to grow
up. I believe that children need to be raised independently so that it benefits them and the society as a
whole.

On the one hand, administering stringent laws hampers the growth of the children at young age. One
reason for this being, parents monitor their child and at school the teachers seem to implement strict
measures. The children are not allowed to think on their own and all the important decisions are made
by the elders at home. To further illustrate this , parents in India take the career decisions for their kids
including the school and the courses they need to be enrolled in, leaving no room for their opinion.
However such upbringing might discipline the child in the long run, I believe that their thought process is
adversely affected.

One the other hand, children left for themselves tend to learn things as they mature into adults. Rearing
them this way makes them strong from inside and as a result they can overcome challenges in life in the
face of hurdles. Besides this, knowing one's wrong doing and at the same time analyzing and learning
from the mistakes enhances their decision making capacity in tough situations. For example, Nicola
Tesla the inventor of electric motor attributes his success to his independent thinking and won decision
making right from childhood.. I believe this method to be preferable because growing up this way makes
one mentally strong.

In conclusion, although control of the child's behavior might discipline them on a temporary basis, I
believe that children growing up on their without any restrictions contributes for their better living and
paves way for a bright future.

Some people think that genetically modified (GM) crops are a positive development. Others, however,
argue that they are potentially dangerous. Discuss both these views and give your opinion.
These days, there is an ongoing debate between people about While it is possible to claim that my view
is that the disadvantages outweigh the advantages. In this essay, I shall explain my point of view by
analyzing both sides of the argument.

There are several reasons why One of them is that It can also be argued thatIt should also be taken into
account that

Those who argue for have a different view and say that it can actually be a good thing. Firstly, it is
claimed that. Then, there are concerns about.

While there are strong arguments on both sides of the case, my personal opinion is that. I would strongly
recommend that.

18. Most people think that professional sportsmen/sports women behavior on or off the field are
not important as long as they are good players.To what extent do u agree or disagree with it?

There is a rise in the number of employees working from home. Some people argue that working from
home is advantageous to the individual and their families, while others say that it only increases the
stress .In this essay, I shall explain my point of view by analyzing both sides of the argument.

On the one hand , by working at home one can be stressed out. To begin with, when the employees are
at home their time is just not limited to office hours. In other words, the company expects them to be
attend to any critical issues during off peak hours which is mainly during night times. By stressing out so,
the employee might deteriorate his health which affects his family in the long run. For example, a recent
survey by Times magazine claims high stress levels are found among software employees working from
home. However, I believe that stress can be overcome with the right attitude, proper diet and exercise.

On the other hand, work from home has some benefits of its own. To begin with, one can get to spend
time with the family which reinforces the bonding. This is more important when the kids are at an young
age which develops in them a sense of security. Furthermore, one can save time commuting to
workplace and compensate the same towards overall physical and mental well being. For instance, by
working from home the individual can have own office setup which is convenient and affords privacy .
Therefore I believe that this method is preferable because it not only aids one to become a better
individual by decreasing the stress levels but also improves familial ties.

In conclusion, although working from home is stressful because one has to be available round the clock,
my personal opinion is, setting up office at home aids in the decrease of overall stress.
19. Some people believe that no one should be allowed to continue working after the age of
65.However,others say there should not be a limitation on age and anyone should be allowed to work
regardless of age .Discuss both the views and give your own opinion and include relevant example.

Some would argue that one should retire after the age of 65, while it is possible to claim that one work
continue working without any age restrictions. In this essay, I shall explain my point of view by analyzing
both sides of the argument.

There are several reasons why anyone above 65 needs to consider retirement. To begin with, people
above the mentioned age limit cannot actively make decisions during challenging times which is a clear
indication of the poor mental abilities on display. Furthermore, their body can be physically weak which
renders them unsuitable for strenuous jobs. It should also be taken into account that, with the
abundance of talented new youngsters graduating every year they should pave the way for them so
that more jobs are created. For instance, in Sweden most of the government employees are made to
retire at the age 65 and while moving out they are made to educate the upcoming youth on how to be a
responsible citizen. However , I believe that post retirement one cannot cope with the abundance of
free time and this can lead to post traumatic stress

On the other hand, those who argue that one can continue to work until he pleases have a different
view and say that it can actually be a good thing. Firstly, it is claimed that by continue working keeps the
mind engaged at all times thus making it productive. Moreover old people who are employed can serve
as model citizens as they are earning their own livelihood without the need to depend on others. This
automatically commands respects from the society and from respective their families. For example, the
oldest known Russian president who served in the early 19th century was a source of inspiration to his
generation who considered old age as the excuse for being lazy. It should also be noted that to continue
earning post the retirement age means that these people are paying taxes to the government and
helping the economy to get better. Therefore I believe that, one needs to continue working irrespective
of the retirement because it benefits the individual and the society as a whole.

In conclusion, while there are strong arguments on both sides of the case, my personal opinion is that
one needs to be permitted to work as long as his patience wears out. I would strongly recommend that
more governments follow the logic and bring in more forward initiatives of removing the cutoff age for
retirement

20. Online education is becoming more and more popular. Some people claim that e-learning has
so many benefit that it will replace face - to - face education. Others say that traditional education is
irreplaceable.

Discuss both view and give your opinion

Giant strides in technology has changed the way of pursuing education with more people giving
preference to online courses. Some people claim that online learning has many benefits as opposed
traditional teacher based classroom training. In my opinion, I believe that e-learning is the best form of
education in the present age. The following paragraphs would highlight my personal perspective along
with an apt example.

On the one hand, traditional training is an age old concept which is indeed proven to be successful. The
presence of a teacher in the classroom instills in the students a sense of discipline, in other words, when
students are monitored on a day to day basis, they are regularly attend classes, complete their
assignments on time. Furthermore, all their doubts related to the subjects are cleared immediately
while in the class. Classroom training not only makes sure that the students are attentive and they focus
on the subject, at the same time, teachers identifies the students area of interest helping them to
identify their career goals. For instance, a recent survey by Time magazine says that students physically
attending school tend to be better individuals in comparison to students undergoing online training.
However, I believe that classroom training is not always the best method because, if any of the teachers
take a long leave of absence the students start lagging behind in their studies which adversely affects
their career.

On the other hand, e-learning is now the latest trend in the field of learning and education. Many
universities are conducting online classes and the recorded sessions are sent to students via email. In
addition to this, the assignments are submitted online and examinations are conducted in a controlled
environment through video conferencing. By encouraging this type of virtual classroom environment,
one can save their investment and divert the finances in building the state-of-art infrastructure which
promotes online education. Even people from remote areas who cannot afford travelling to countries to
pursue higher education are greatly benefitted through online classes. For instance, universities are
now streaming their classes via online video streaming portals such as YouTube, where the lessons can
be accessed by the students globally. Therefore I believe this method to be preferable as it greatly
benefits the educational institutions by reducing the financial strain and also the students can learn and
enhance their knowledge from any remote location .

In conclusion, although employing traditional methods of teaching might make the students organized,
it cannot replace the immense benefits of providing education via online classes.

21. Films can have effect on the children’s education and teach them many things. Do you
think it is always a positive influence? Discuss.

In the present times, films are greatly impacting the lives of people. It is argued that, films can affect a child's
career by educating them on many things. I completely disagree with this opinion and think that cinemas are
indeed a bad influence on the young minds.

There are several reasons why movies negatively influence children's education. To begin with, films which
promote educational content are either hard to find or fail to captivate the audience. Moreover, the knowledge
that can be gained through them are not beneficial as most of the times the characters are depicted with poor
education background. For instance, I remember watching a movie a few years ago where the protagonist was a
college dropout who made it big in his life. While young adults and children who watch such content for
entertainment purposes , in the course of time might try to emulate the central characters and their actions
thinking it to be true which adversely affecting their studies in the long run. That's why it is more important for the
present generation to pursue their career goals by staying away from films.
Adding further, expecting to learn from cinemas is a daunting task. Now-a-days movie making is more of business
with little or no focus on content that might be helpful to the society. Furthermore, they are filled with violence
promoting the use of recreational drugs. Some of the movies are filled with explicit content and children watching
such material might be affected negatively at a tender age .For instance, the glitz and glamour world of cinemas
showcase the life of the stars which can be taken as most of the times to be false, but the young audience
perceive it in a way as to become successful in the films whic

22. Some people say that there is less communication between family members than in the past. To what
extent do you agree or disagree?

Recent revolution in technology and to survive in the ongoing competition has widened the communication gap
among the family members. It argued by some that there is less bonding between the family members when
compared to the past. I completely agree with this opinion and think that for a happy and successful family,
communication should be on a regular basis.

Owning to the recent enhancements in technology, which can be cited as the main reason for the communication
gap between the families. Electronic gadgets are now part of our everyday lives. In other words, having a smart
phone is the basic need for every person. Face to face communication has reduced to a great extent with the
family members communicating mostly on instant chat messengers. Immediate family members staying in abroad
or other places are merely satisfied with video calling. For instance, people are video streaming marriages on
YouTube for those family members who cannot make it to these occasions. While attending virtually may bring
some form of fleeting happiness, being in the presence of close knit family members develops the bonding.

Adding further, people are so busy making money, they hardly find time to spend with the family. One is always
devising innovative ways of being at the top, they have little or no time for their families. There is a misconception
that children of the rich have all the facilities but at the same time there is a tradeoff in the family time, as their
father or mother is striving ways to provide them a rich lifestyle. These children who look forward to spend some
quality time with their parents on weekends or holidays are devoid of their family time. For instance, these days
even the parents are neglected as their son or daughter is looking working on a second income as soon as they
are home which definitely brings a isolation among the family members. It is appreciated when one is working
hard but at the same time they should also look forward to spend some quality time with their families.

In conclusion, I strongly believe that the communication gap is widened between families when compared to the
previous time because of people becoming addicted to technology and also in their pursuit to chase big money
goals.

23. Some people are making new friends by using socializing network websites and internet chat
rooms.Some people say that this is a good thing. Other people say that people should make new friends by face-
to-cae chat. Discuss these views and give your opinion.

Socializing online is the latest trend of the present times. It is argued that meeting people through social media
and making new acquaintances is good, whereas, others are of the opinion that friends should be made by
meeting in person. In my opinion, I believe that for two persons to know each other they should be meet directly.
The following paragraphs would highlight my personal perspective along with an apt example.

On the one hand, with the onset of the internet , the world has become more of a virtual village. People from
remote locations can connect with each other from anywhere in the world which has led to the rise of the new
concept know as online friendship. This trend is more of positive development with two person discussing and
exchanging ideas on various subjects. For instance, a friend of mine who applied to a graduate program in a U.K
university was helped by the students in processing his documents and finally getting an admission. However I
believe that, making friends virtually on chat rooms can be a risky option, as there few proven instances where
the person might not reveal his own identity and is only present in the chat room to lure any gullible person into
identity theft.

On the other hand, meeting person directly is always an effective way of making friends. To begin with, bonding
always develops with that direct personal touch where one can be more confident by meeting the person eye-to-
eye. When we extend the bond of friendship directly, one can also be sure of not making any bad acquaintances.
For instance, two colleagues physically present at the same office can become good friends for a lifetime when
compared to the colleagues working at different locations. Moreover, by having friends around us helps to
overcome loneliness during sad times in our lives. Therefore I believe this method to be preferable because
meeting someone directly and making friends gives us a sense of security

In conclusion, although making friends can imbibe in us new ideas about people and their culture it cannot
replace the traditional method of directly connecting with each other leading to a lifetime bonding.

24. In some countries people are not taking care of their elderly relatives – instead trained professionals are
used to care for the elderly. Do you see this as a positive or a negative development?

Many elderly persons are being ignored and confined to old age homes. It is argued by some that people are not
taking care of their elderly relatives , instead, they are hiring professional caretakers to look after the elderly. In
my opinion, I believe this to be a positive development. The following paragraphs would highlight my personal
perspective along with apt examples.

People are ignoring the elderly because the present times demanding a busy schedule tasa means of survival in
the society. To begin with, people are bogged down by responsibilities , especially, everyone in the pursuit to be
the better and to earn money , in the process, are not taking care of their elderly parents or relatives. For
instance, a son living with his parents in the same home is so much occupied that , he hardly gets to have dinner
with his parents. Agreed that elder persons are weak and might not be physically capable of participating in the
activities and the younger generation might view this as an obstacle and as a result, they drop the old people at
senior citizen homes. This can serve as a negative example to the future generations as the might follow the same
of ignoring their own parents.

Employing care takers for the elderly might not compensate for the love and affection that is given by one's own
children. Trained professionals work on a salary basis and leave at the end of their shift schedule leaving the
elderly to their own fate. Senior citizens always look forward to have a conversation and spending time with their
loved one and this cannot be replaced by these caretaking professionals.Moreover, older people might not always
be comfortable in the vicinity of these professionals as they are no way related to each other. There are many
cases of the caretakers ignoring the elderly, for instance, an incident on a news channel showed that the caretaker
who was employed was busy watching television despite multiple complaints of chest pain. That is why
employing professionals to of elderly might negatively impact the older people in the long run leading to
depression and other health related issues.

In conclusion, I believe that people need to take care of their own elderly parents or relatives rather than
employing professionals which might lead to negative consequences in the long run.

25. Some people think that watching Tv programs can help children's development while disagree.

What is your opinion.

Some people believe that, watching appropriate television programs can aid in the development of young
children. In my opinion, I completely agree with this statement. But, do all the channels on TV broadcast children's
content? let us find out in the following paragraphs which would highlight my personal perspective along with apt
examples.

Wide variety of TV channels are now competing for viewership ratings, with most of them targeting the young
audience. Some of these channels are for entertainment purposes whereas other are science based channels
which showcase only knowledge related programs. For instance, a famous channel known as animal planet
showed the evolution of humans from apes which was well received by the children. Channels are doing enough
research to captivate the young audience by broadcasting knowledgeable programs. While there are some points
which cannot be taught by a teacher at school, children are able to learn about a particular subject in depth just at
the click of the remote button.

with sports being played around the world throughout the year, most of the children are showing interest when
compared to previous times. Channels broadcasting live sports are in plenty and are always trying to showcase the
best content. Children who are into sports can follow their players trying to emulate them in various aspects with
special emphasis being on the playing style. The successful players in the sporting world can be a prime example
of their hard work and dedication thus serving as role models, and, watching them on a daily basis can have
positive impact on the young minds. For example, Michael Jordan a famous basketball player in North America was
the main source of inspiration for kids of 80's to play basketball.

In conclusion, children should be allowed to watch programs which enhance their knowledge and motivate them
to become better and successful individuals.

26. In some countries, young people at the age of 18 are considered adults and can drive a car, vote and get
married, while other countries don't allow it.

What age do you think is the best to be considered an adult? Give reasons and examples.

Different countries have different rules for children to be accepted as legal adults. Some people think that in some
countries attaining the age of 18 is considered as reaching adulthood where one can officially get the license to
drive, the right to vote and matured enough to get married. In my opinion, I believe that for a child to be a
matured adult , he should be defined by his character and attitude.

A child is considered as an adult according to official government documents such birth certificate. For the society
to acknowledge the child as an adult, one should be able to shoulder certain responsibilities by not depending on
the family for their needs. For instance, in Germany, once the child reaches the legal age of adulthood they are
put through a series of trials to make sure whether they make good citizens of the county. The parents should also
be responsible for imbibing certain good values in their child as they mature in age. Adults are known for their
maturity and their ability to handle things during challenging situation and to overcome them with the right
attitude.

Adding further, adulthood is also measured by the amount of success that one achieves in their life. Children who
should develop an attitude to be relentless and be ready to put in the required efforts to achive the desired
success in the field of education because the person is respected by the amount of educational degrees he earns.
On the contrary, after becoming an adult if one is devoid of any success, is frowned down upon by the society, in
other words they not given their due respect. A child one should recognise his passion at an early age and must
have set of defined girls so that he achieves the deidred results by the time he matures as an adult. For example,
Einstein discovered his interest in physics at an early age and in the course of time earned great recognition in the
society.

In conclusion, my personal opinion is that, while every child matures pysically to become an adult but ture
adulthood is defined by standing on our own by being a responsibile citizen in the society.

27. Ordinary people copy famous people whom they see on TV and magazines.

Do you think it's a positive development.

People are finding ways to be attractive and famous and in the process they try to emulate their
favorite celebrities on TVs and magazines. In my opinion, I believe this to be positive development. The
following paragraphs would highlight my personal perspective along with an apt example.

There are several reasons one can be successful by following famous people. To begin with, celebrities are the
epitome of passion and hard work.Those who are famous work almost throughout the day with little or almost no
breaks in their schedule. Ordinary people can copy their lifestyle by picking all the key principle , which when
implemented in the course of time guarantee success. For instance, a famous Hollywood hero gave a few of his
fitness secrets to a magazine and most of the people who implemented the same in their life were bestowed with
good health. While it is easy to gossip about famous people's personal life , it would be positive development if
people only picked the key positive points act accordingly.

Adding further, celebrities always brag in interviews about their rich and affluent lifestyle and at the same time
most of them do charity work by establishing foundations of their own. People who claim to be the fans, have to
dedicate some of their time to the community.For instance, during the recent tsunami hit areas in southern part
of India many celebrities along with their fans helped the victims by providing the necessary aid. People also have
to learn from the successful sports person who leave it everything on the field by playing hard.This means, any
ordinary person can implement that person's mode of play, the tactics during the game and by doing so in the
course of time can reach great heights. It is always easy to read and in the course of time forget about the life of
amous people, instead, one has to grasp those aspects which are key to be successful.

In conclusion, my personal opinion is that, following the famous people is a positive development as ordinary
people are in always curious about the life's of these people and which when molded in accordance to their
principles one can be assured the path to greatness.

28. Some people think that strict punishments for driving offences are the key to reducing traffic
accidents. Others, however, believe that other measures would be more effective in improving road
safety.

Discuss both these views and give your own opinion

With more people getting behind the wheels, there is a rise in the number of accidents when compared
to the previous times. Some people believe that traffic accidents can be reduced by implementing
stringent punishments, whereas others are of the opinion that safety on the roads can be improved by
considering factors. In my opinion, I believe that by road accidents can be reduced by enforcing strict
rules. In this essay, I shall explain my point of view by analyzing both sides of the argument.

On the one hand, by following a few safety measures an overall improvement in the road safety can be
witnessed. To begin with, people can serve as volunteers by managing the vehicular traffic on the roads
and by doing so they eventually come to understand the importance of road safety. Cars need to be
fixed with sensors where speed is automatically reduced in the areas such as schools. Special classes
are to be conducted over the weekend for people with a drinking problem and also safety precautions
should be taken by the nightclubs. For instance, drunk customers need to be dropped home by
assigning them a driver. However I believe that, such restrictions might be less successful as most of the
indivudals tend to forget the rules in the long run.

On the other hand, enforcing harsh punishments makes people realize to be careful on the roads. To
begin with, imposing heavy monetary fines makes one follow safe driving standards on the road. The
law should come down hard on frequent offenders. For example, in Germany a person who is caught
twice driving under the influence in the same year has the license revoked. Police need to make the use
of speed detectors at the school zones so that any speed violations are immediately reported with fines
being sent directly to mobile phones. For the minors driving without a license and who consider road to
be racing track, their parents should be heavily fined and should be made attend to classes along with
children about the benefits of safe driving. I believe, this method to be preferable as it forces the people
to follow the rules.

In conclusion, although enlightening people about road rules might temporarily keep them away from
road offences, it does not treat the actual problem, that is why it is more important to enforce stringent
punishments so that accidents can be avoided to a great extent.

29. There are some cartoon characters on TV such as Mickey Mouse which bring negative influence to
children. Do you agree or disagree? What types of TV programs are suitable for children?

When compared to the previous times, more number of television channels are now dedicated to children. Some
people believe that , cartoons that are telecasted on TV can have a negative impact on the children. In my opinion,
I agree with this statement. The following paragraphs would highlight my personal perspective along with apt
examples.

With the sports gaining recognition and sports person being famous worldwide, there many reasons children
should be watching programs related to sports. To begin with, by watching sports channels, in the course of time,
one can gain the necessary motivation to be fit like their favorite athletes, moreover, these programs can help the
children find their passion for sports. These programs can benefit the young ones, especially where one can copy
the moves of their favorite players and can develop their own game. There are a few TV channels which broadcast
interview of the sports persons and these persons can serve as role models to the young generation who take
inspiration to be like them some day. For instance, Michael Jordan, a famous basketball payer inspired the youth
all over the world through his television show.

Adding further, children are always curious to know about the surrounding environment and the outside world
and for this kind of children, many science channels are keeping them glued to the television. These young
children can gain all the required knowledge by merely watching an hour of a science channel. For example, 'the
Blue Planet' , televised on BBC was received well by the young audience and it made a lasting impression on their
minds with their breathtaking view and narration.The children later claimed that they learnt some interesting
things not found in their regular textbooks. Programs dedicated to history are now showcasing the evolution of
man kind and civilization and this knowledge can be useful in their exams.

In conclusion, while cartoons may provide some form of entertainment, it does not actually aid in the overall
physical and mental development of a child, which can happen only when the child is into watching sports and
other form of knowledgeable channels.

30. Some people believe that teaching music in schools is a vital part of growing up and human experience,
whilst others believe that teaching music in schools is waste of time and resources.

Discuss both views and give your opinion.

In the present times, schools are including extracurricular activities as part of the regular course curriculum. Some
people believe that music needs to be taught at schools as it is an important factor which constitutes the growth
and influences human experience, whereas, others are of the opinion that music classes are a waste of time and
resources. In my opinion, I believe that for the students to be successful, they should study and focus on the
subjects useful for their career.

On the one hand, there are several reasons music can aid in the students overall development. To begin with,
music provides a relief from the hectic coursework, where students can get to relax and unwind. For example, a
research in Germany stated that, learning a music instrument can rewire the brain cells leading to better decision
making during critical times. Children learning music schools, over the course of time develop a passion for the
same and eventually turn into successful musicians which can also be a rewarding career. However with the
ongoing competition in the music industry , there are less chances to established as a successful musician.

On the other hand, time and resources can be channelized on better things apart from learning music. Schools
should concentrate more on teaching traditional academic subjects. This will imbibe in students a great deal of
knowledge and a practical approach to life. Moreover, learning academic subjects enhances the career prospects,
in others words, students graduating with a science degree are eligible for many opportunities career wise. For
example, technology giants such as Google and Apple prefer hiring students who have shown academic excellence
where they are compensated with high salaries. Therefore , I believe that success is guaranteed when the schools
are when focused on academics for better future prospects of the children.

In conclusion, although dedicating time and resources in learning music enhances the overall development, the
schools should work towards securing a child's future by making them concentrate on the academics.

31. Some people say that science study should be mandatory in schools whereas others argue it is
unnecessary. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

People have contrasting views about whether the study of science in schools is to be made mandatory or not.
Although science can be ignored at school level by focusing on subjects such as history, arts and religion, I believe
that science subjects are important for the overall individual growth and for bright career

On the one hand, learning about non science subjects makes us aware about our civilization and the evolution of
the world around us. History the children to know their roots and their ancestral hierarchy, learning about ancient
arts helps know to find out about one's culture which is essential, especially for the present generation .Perhaps
the most important controversial subject of all time is, learning about religion, where students can have a
transparent opinion about different sects of religion. According to a recent survey by the Times magazine , most of
the non science related students aspire to become politicians. However, I believe that not all students take in
interest in such subjects as the prospects of a long term career is bleak.

On the other hand, studying science can be rewarding for a number of reasons. Evolution of the life process is
related to science where most of the research is still being conducted on various life forms. For instance, most of
the scientists from Germany attribute their success to the foundation laid by their schools on science subjects. A
students true potential is recognised by his performance in various sciences.Laying foundation on these subjects
at a young age might garner their interest either to become a doctor or a engineer. Moreover, such professions
are always in a great demand where one can reap huge financial benefits. Therefore, I believe that making science
as a core subject in school for the students calls for a shapes a better career

In conclusion, I can understand why people might consider teaching science as a waste of time as they feel that it
is always better for the students to know more about their roots and the culture, but it seems to me that learning
science in school makes the child better and to excel on big career stage.

Many adults think the childhood and schooldays are the best years of a person’s life. What’s the reason do you
think? Do you agree or disagree?

Some people believe that, an individual spends the best time of his life during childhood and at school. I
completely agree with this statement, because one is always free from worries during this period. The following
paragraphs would highlight my personal perspective along with apt examples.

32. People find it very difficult to speak in public or to give a presentation before an audience. Do you think
public speaking skill is really important? Should students be taught public speaking at school?

Do you agree or disagree

People get recognition by the knack of their conversation, which is considered as a skill. It is often believed that,
speaking or presenting in front of an audience can be challenging for some people. In my opinion, I believe that
public speaking is an art and should be inculcated in the children right from the school. The following paragraphs
would highlight my personal perspective along with apt examples.

Speaking and conveying our thoughts to a large section of audience is a skill. To begin with, the present era has
given much importance to the right to freedom of speech.Eespcially in politics, people elect their representative
who they feel is a good public orator to fight for their demands. Speaking in a public can make open up a wide
range of opportunities. Most of the job interviews are now making public speaking mandatory as part of their
selection criteria. For instance, Apple company seeks prosperous applicants who can talk fluently on any given
public issue which is the test for their communication skills. Although some people may find it difficult and they
become nervous in front of a huge gathering, a person who overcomes this fear will be successful as he's
presented with a opportunities both on a personal and a professional level.

33. Parents usually mothers, give up work choose to stay home and look after families. Some people think that
government should give them salary. Do you agree or disagree. Give reasons from your own knowledge and
experience.

It is considered that mothers who stay home and take care of their families should be paid salaries. I
completely disagree with the statement, and think that it's the basic responsibility of a mother to take care of
the family.

First of all, I believe that mother is regarded as a torch bearer and none can replace her in satisfying the needs
of the family. A mother is responsible for the upbringing of her children , in other words, she is regarded as next
to teacher in imparting valuable knowledge to her kids so that in the process they become good citizens of the
society. Furthermore , she needs to take of the elderly relatives in the family especially her in laws and her
parents by attending to their needs at all times. For example, in India, mother is generally considered as the
head of the family replacing her male counterpart. That is why the government paying the mothers for doing
her role and fulfilling her responsibilities is disagreeable.

Adding further, government paying the parents salaries, especially mothers, does not seem a feasible option for
both the parties.To begin, paying all the parents of a particular country just to fulfill their basic duties causes a
huge financial strain on the government. When parents are eligible for such monetary benefits, they forget
their responsibilities and become lazy. In other words, they become bad at money management because of the
flow of easy money and in the process they set a bad example to their children. For example, when a recent
investigation in Norway found out that parents who were given monthly support from the government fell prey
to bad habits. Thus, government instead of paying the money to the parents of any household should rather
invest in child care programs were the parents can learn better ways to rear their children.

To conclude, I strongly believe that government need not pay money to the parents for following their basic
duties which involves the upbringing of good children and also catering to the needs of the family which in turn
benefits the society as a whole.

34. Today more and more young children have mobile phones. Critics say that this is a negative
development. Do you agree or disagree? What is your own opinion?

It is argued by some that the usage of mobile among young ones leads to negative development. I completely
agree with this opinion because using mobile phones right from a young age hampers the overall growth of the
children.

First of all, I believe that modern day mobile phones cause damage to the young and the old alike. To begin
with, children are the most affected as they tend to get attracted to the phones thus falling prey to the harmful
radiation emitted by the cell phones; moreover, companies do not follow certain safety norms in designing
their devices,. For instance, a research by Times magazine stated that using smart phones more than hour as
the same effect of radiation on our body as being exposed to harmful ultra-violet rays of the sun. In addition to
this, constant exposure to the mobile screen increases the chances of affecting the eyes of the young ones lead
to myopia(also called as nearsightedness). That is why it is more important to avoid using mobile phone evenin
in the vicinity of the young children.

Adding further, with the increasing usage of mobile phones, communication gap has widened and children have
become less productive. Everyone in the family has a phone and particularly young children are always glued to
the phone screen. By being constantly engaged on phones, one remains aloof from the family members and in
the course of time this kind of isolation results in poor communication and this also affects their thinking levels.
For example, my cousin who is always playing games on mobile has shown poor performance in studies and
was treated by a psychiatrist for his addiction with less chances of recovering. Thus the long term negative
effects of mobile phone on young children can be irreparable.

In conclusion, I strongly believe that mobile phones do have a negative impact and it is always necessary for the
parents to discourage their usage among children which in turn can be fruitful for their own development.

35. Some people believe that children are given too much free time. They feel that this time should be used
to do more school work. To what extent do you agree to that?

How do you think children should spend their free time?

It is believed by some that children have a lot of free time and they should utilize the same by getting involved
in doing school work. I completely agree with this statement and think that by doing constructive work related
to their studies keep them focused on their career.

First of all, I believe that children in their free time should be more innovative. Although schools just focus on
the theoretical knowledge which is confined to the text books, children should look ways to inculcate practical
knowledge right from the young age as thinking in this way will affect their brain in a positive way manner.
Especially during summer vacations, children should focus on building science projects from the knowledge
gained at school which contributes towards environment in an effective way. For instance, my cousins who
aspires to be a scientist, won the yearly science fair conducted by Google for the best project on the ways of
recycling plastic bottles.. Therefore it is more important not to waste time and keep working on our academics
which improves our overall knowledge in many ways.

Adding further, schools giving frequent holidays and long vacations to children is way of helping them to
prepare mentally for the next upcoming grades. Most of the children misconstrue vacation as means of wasting
time, instead they should start preparing for the competition exams. With the knowledge acquired from school
subjects and with outside exposure they should try to ace these kind of exams as the winner is eligible for some
great financial rewards. Furthermore, computers are ruling the roost and most of the schools are cashing on the
same by imparting this valuable knowledge to their students who are showing great interest in knowing about
these devices. For instance, high school students in India, during their free time are more inclined towards
learning to design a website trying to implement the concepts learned during their computer classes. Thus the
advantage of utilizing the free time by doing work related to school is more important in the long term
perspective.

To conclude, I strongly believe that being productive during after school hours and vacations is especially
beneficial for children because it makes them acquire knowledge and also calls for a bright career.

36. Many parents give jobs to their children to do around the house in order to develop their characters and
self-sufficiency. Discuss this idea and give your opinion.

It is considered that assigning household tasks to the children develops their characters and teach them to be
self sufficient. I completely agree with this statement and think that by performing such duties children tend to
become responsible citizens of the society.

First of all, children running the chores around the house make them to understand the importance of work.
Young ones during their idle time tend to get lazy and delinquent and become if not properly molded at a tender
age. Parents who assign tasks to children must also make sure the children complete tem and this inculcates in
them the habit of meeting the deadlines which can be helpful during their professional career when meeting
deadlines. For example, Times magazine surveyed that, children who are helpful for their parents at home
make great social activists thus earning a great name in the society. They develop a strong and resilient
character thus making them model citizens.

Adding further, children learn to be self sufficient by managing things at home. Parents should give them
household tasks with a set time limit

37. Some say that secondary school should spend less time on traditional subjects such as history and
should spend more time on communication skill and business courses.

To what extent do you agree or disagree with it?

It is argued that schools are dedicating less time in teaching business courses and communication skills and
more importance to teaching traditional subjects such as history and arts. I completely agree with this opinion
and think that more time and efforts should be allocated to teaching the business subjects and communication
skills are the cornerstones of the society.

First of all, I believe that we encounter a lot of business related transactions in our daily life and to have solid
understanding of the same it is necessary to have a strong foundation on such courses. Pursuing business
related studies makes one gain an understanding of managing one's finances and to keep a track of the same it
is always important to have a better understanding of accounting which is itself a branch of business. Another
key point, for example, in the present millennium startups are on the rise and to hire people company
personnel need to have an effective knowledge of human resource management tools. Therefore it is more
important for schools to spend majority of their teaching time on subjects that help the students to survive in
the real world.

Secondly, communication is regarded as an essential life skill and is the main necessity for career and personal
growth. In other words schools spending more time stressing on the importance of communication make
children effective speakers . These skills are useful when migrating abroad for better career opportunities and
also one can easily converse with people from different background without any inferior feeling or guilt. In
addition to this, most of the companies such as Apple and Google prefer hiring candidates with better
communication even though they are their academic performance is not up to certain standards. Thus, spending
more time teaching communication skills calls for a bright future for the children.

To conclude, I strongly believe that business and communication related courses should be taught more time
because a strong knowledge of both helps one to be establish a successful career.

38. Some people think that strict punishments for driving offences are the key to reducing traffic
accidents. Others, however, believe that other measures would be more effective in improving road
safety.

Discuss both these views and give your own opinion

With more people getting behind the wheels, there is a rise in the number of accidents when compared
to the previous times. Some people believe that traffic accidents can be reduced by implementing
stringent punishments, whereas others are of the opinion that safety on the roads can be improved by
considering factors. In my opinion, I believe that by road accidents can be reduced by enforcing strict
rules. In this essay, I shall explain my point of view by analyzing both sides of the argument.

On the one hand, by following a few safety measures an overall improvement in the road safety can be
witnessed. To begin with, people can serve as volunteers by managing the vehicular traffic on the roads
and by doing so they eventually come to understand the importance of road safety. Cars need to be
fixed with sensors where speed is automatically reduced in the areas such as schools. Special classes
are to be conducted over the weekend for people with a drinking problem and also safety precautions
should be taken by the nightclubs. For instance, drunk customers need to be dropped home by
assigning them a driver. However I believe that, such restrictions might be less successful as most of the
indivudals tend to forget the rules in the long run.

On the other hand, enforcing harsh punishments makes people realize to be careful on the roads. To
begin with, imposing heavy monetary fines makes one follow safe driving standards on the road. The
law should come down hard on frequent offenders. For example, in Germany a person who is caught
twice driving under the influence in the same year has the license revoked. Police need to make the use
of speed detectors at the school zones so that any speed violations are immediately reported with fines
being sent directly to mobile phones. For the minors driving without a license and who consider road to
be racing track, their parents should be heavily fined and should be made attend to classes along with
children about the benefits of safe driving. I believe, this method to be preferable as it forces the people
to follow the rules.

In conclusion, although enlightening people about road rules might temporarily keep them away from
road offences, it does not treat the actual problem, that is why it is more important to enforce stringent
punishments so that accidents can be avoided to a great extent.

39. Some people think that managers alone should make decisions in the company, while others
think that employees should be involved in the decision-making process too.

Discuss both views and give your opinion.

Taking the right decisions is crucial for the success of the company. Some people believe that the
manager should take the final decision about a company, while others say that employers should also
be involved during decision making. Although manager is the one who runs the company on a day to day
basis, I believe the employees should be made part of the decisions as they are more aware of the
intricate details of a company.

On the one hand, managers take decisions at a high level as they do not have access to the finer details
of the company. Firstly, managers do not mix freely or meet with all their employees daily ; all they are
concerned is how to generate revenue for the company making sure that the company is heading in the
right direction and is leading among its competitors. Mostly they make decisions based on the historical
data presented to them which involves key facts and figures and as a result steer the company in the
right direction. For instance, Steve Jobs, the then founder and manager of Apple company, was solely
responsible for taking the final call on the decisions as he trusted his own intuition. However, I believe
that managers sometimes falter during the decision making process as they are not always aware of the
company's requirements at a deeper level.

On the other hand, employees involved in decisions along with the managers can help the company
grow by leaps and bounds. Employees are the one who are aware of the ups and down involved in their
daily work and they know what needs to be done to make their job a success, which in turn helps the
company to progress. Employees interacting with their colleagues on a day to day basis helps them to
know the nuances of the company. For instance, the employees of Ford suggested their management to
get involved in the production of electric vehicles which proved to be the best decision in the present
era. Therefore, I believe that involving employees in company related decisions benefits either parties..

In conclusion, although management can make successful decisions, by considering the big picture, it
might not always come up the best ones during difficult times, that is why it is more important to
involve employees during decision making as they can give their opinion based on their daily
experience.

40. Some say that young and energetic employees are the most valuable for the company, others
argue that older employees have more experience and knowledge

Discuss both views and give your opinion.

Employees are the valuable asset for any company. Some people consider that employees who are
young exude energy and can be an important part of the company, while others say that older
employees in the company are experienced and knowledgeable. While young people are willing to put
in the required efforts to help a company progress, I believe that experienced older people can
contribute towards the company's growth with their inputs gained from their work experience over
the years.

On the one hand, young people hired by the company are proactive looking for ways to prove
themselves. In other words, especially, when a company is at its initial stages the management
always looks to hire young college graduates and most of them are enthusiastic and ready to put in
the required hard work. These young employees usually come in early and stay up late and by doing
so the company progresses and finally gets into the list of top contenders. In case of any hurdles the
company faces , these employees with their budding sharp minds and due diligence can solve the
issues. For instance, in India some top level university graduates designed an electric bike and their
invention was bought by a well established automobile industry. However, I believe that

COMPUTER AND HUMAN LIFE CORRELATED WITH COMMUNICATION

The changes in social communication are of particular significance. Computer can bring people closer together
and facilitate contacts between them using Email, Chatting, Videoconferencing, Mobile Phones and Social
Medias. It saves time, efforts and money compared with letters used, before making influence of computers in
human life.These days, we seldom use hand written letters, put in the envelopes and transport over long
distances because most of us have computer and education to make use of it.

Out of all the plethora of communication opportunities that the Internet has opened up, I would highlight the
emergence of social media and the way they have intricately melded into our daily lives.

The Internet and Education

The Internet has clearly impacted all levels of education by providing unbounded possibilities for
learning.People can use the Internet to create and share knowledge and develop new ways of teaching and
learning that captivate and stimulate students’ imagination at any time, anywhere, using any device. By
connecting and empowering students and educators, we can speed up economic growth and enhance the well-
being of society throughout the world. We should work together, over a network, to build the global learning
society

Today, you can use the Internet to access libraries, encyclopedias, art galleries, news archives, and other
information sources from anywhere in the world: I believe this is a key advantage in the education field. The
web is a formidable resource for enhancing the process of building knowledge.

conclusion:

Just about everything in the world of the Internet still lies ahead of us. Creating more opportunities, providing
new benefits to individuals, bringing more individual and collective well-being.

41. Fast food is becoming a part of our daily life. Some people argue that fast food has negative effects on
our lifestyle and diet. Do you agree or disagree.

Key words: fast food, daily life, lifestyle, diet

Qualifying words: becoming part of, has negative effects

instruction words: agree or disagree.

The present era demands of a busy lifestyle where people have little or no time to eat healthy with a majority of
them depending on fast food for survival .This has now become the staple diet which in the process is
deteriorating the health of the people. I completely agree with this statement because a fast food diet affects
our overall well being and has negative consequences in the long run.

Firstly, we humans tend to think about the benefits and the risks associated with the junk food over the short
term rather than considering the impact of our choices in the long term. For example, as Australian study
suggests that in people with asthma, the intake of fast food meals with high saturated fat content would
increase the inflammation of the lungs potentially making an asthma attack more likely. Even in small quantities
such types of food are highly saturated in dangerous fats which is eventually linked to obesity and other heart
diseases. One should show moderation when eating junk food and always bear in mind that every meal
positively impacts our health.

Secondly, being on a diet which comprises of high fat content and forbidden foods might have an adverse
impact on the mental wellbeing of an individual. For instance, most of the teenagers in USA are addicted to junk
foods leading to high obesity rates among their age groups. This type of diet is making them lethargic leading to
a sedentary life and as a result of lack of an active lifestyles their thinking ability is also being impaired. Likewise
adults indulging in fast foods on a daily basis might reduce their overall body metabolism to great extent leaving
them weak and susceptible to diseases by the time they hit threshold of the old age. Therefore, there is no such
thing as a healthy junk food and even having them in small quantities might affect a person negatively.

In conclusion, fast food is the one which lacks all the essential nutrients required to maintain a healthy life. Also
I would suggest that one needs to avoid the so called junk foods and stick to foods that only tend to enhance
their life span.

43. Older people often say the life was better in the past than it's now. Do you think it is right or wrong?
Give your reasons and provide relevant examples.

Keywords: older people, life,past

Qualifying words:often say, was better,than its now

When compared to the modern era, the life of people was more at ease in the previous times. Elderly people are
of the opinion that they led a comfortable life in the past. I agree with this statement because those people lived
in a pollution free environment and also people spent more time with each other.

In the past, there a balanced ecosystem. To start with, people were less prone to diseases because the nature
was filled with greenery continuously recycled the pollutants and there was easy access to clean drinking water.
For example, many people in India ate only organic food acquired directly from the trees which were grown
without any pesticides. In contrast to the present times, people had a long life span as they maintained a
healthy lifestyle; moreover drugs induced medicines were sparingly used and this resulted in no side effects or
life threatening complications. Therefore, older people preferred living in the past which was mostly a diseased
free life.

I would acknowledge that the previous generation had more family time. With the technology not being so
advanced, there were no trace of electronic gadgets and there was no option but to members of a family
getting together more often during the day. For instance, a recent study by an Australian magazine suggested
face to face interaction was high in 1990 when compared to 2019 where people conversed with each other
through hand held devices. To add to this, the radiation from such devices was completely negligible which had
zero effect on people's mental health. Thus, life in the erstwhile era was more about bonding and also being
sharp intellectually.

In conclusion, older people survived in nature that is pollution free and lived a life away from the gadgets which
only increased the distance between persons.

44. Nowadays it is possible to use computers and mobile phones for automatic language translation, and
there is no need for human translators and interpreters. Do you agree or disagree with this statement?

Keywords: computer, mobile phones, human translators, interpreters.

Qualifying words: it is possible, automatic language translation, no need

In the contemporary world, technology is replacing the human efforts. Electronic gadgets such as computers
and smart phones are being widely used as language translators. I completely disagree with this statement
because these devices might not be able to interpret complex sentence structures and also they lack in
conveying the exact human emotions.

The world is comprised of many different languages and they are made up of different sentence and
grammatical structures. For example, many of the automatic language translators have failed in interpreting
Arabic language as this comprises mostly of symbols with different phonetics. Designing a translator even with
all the latest technology would be a daunting task as one sentence if wrongly interpreted would change the
meaning of the entire text. Unlike, most of the translators which have their base software designed in English,
translating to a foreign language would not exactly give the same meaning. Thus, an undesirable trait of auto
translators is their inability to recognize complex literature.

I agree that electronic gadgets such as computers and smart phones lack the human emotion when trying to
translate the exact meaning. For instance, most of the criminal courts using computers have failed to
communicate the lack of human regret and repentance as it was a plain word to word translation. With the
technology spike in the latest era, although many companies have come up their own version of automated
language translator programs the ability to recognize human features and emotions is still a ongoing research
with no end in sight. Therefore, whatever maybe the giant strides in discovering the latest electronic gadgets for
language translations, they always fail to recognize the basic human touch.

In conclusion, automatic translators such as computer and mobile phones may have advanced in technology but
they still lack the dynamism and emotional intelligence to replace the human interpreter.

45. 101. Films can have influence on children's education and teach them many things. Do you think it
is always a positive influence?
Keywords: films, children, education

qualifying words: have influence, teach them, many things

instruction words: do you think it is positive

The present generation are being exposed to films at an early age. Some people believe that, children can learn
a lot of things by watching films which be useful in their daily studies. I completely disagree with the statement
because a film promotes explicit content and also it showcases bad habits where there are high chance of a
children emulating the characters.

There is no doubt that a movie comprises of several scenes filled with violent acts such as inflicting wounds and
scenes not suitable for children. For example, a recent survey by Forbes magazine revealed that gun violence in
American primary schools increased in the recent years because of the recent trend in super hero films. Films
ranging from animated series to feature films depict the antagonist to a master in gun welding techniques.In
addition to this, most of the movies try to reap profits by showcasing explicit sexual content which adversely
impacts the young mind. Despite the films being rated according to age restrictions, most of the children fall
prey to such content and therefore there is least one can learn from watching movies.

On the other hand, it is worth pointing out that movie characters encourage the use of drugs and alcohol. This
influence can be particularly scene in the minors of Amsterdam who are undergoing intensive treatment at
rehabilitation centers for the treatment of the drinking problems and to overcome substance abuse.Films ought
to influence the young one on a path to success, in contrast are getting them accustomed to bad habits.The
scenes are illustrated in such a way that the characters consuming alcohol or drugs look cool and the children
take this to be true to try the same. Therefore, education is the least that is imparted and bad habits stay with
the young children watching films.

In conclusion, in view with the arguments above, I disagree to the fact that films positively influence children as
beacuse of their importance being given to bad content and promotion of badly addictive substances.

46. Nowadays people like to use new electronic equipment. Do you think this is a positive or a negative
development

Due to the giant strides in technology new electronic gadgets are now being part of the people's life.
Increasingly more number of people are now inclined in using the latest electronic equipment. I completely
think that this is more of a positive development because people need to be abreast with the latest technology
and also it opens the doors for their career.

It is obvious that with the advent of latest gadgets every now and then it is important for people to know about
the latest inventions in the world of technology. For example, Apple company releases a new model of their
phones every year by incorporating all the latest micro processors. It is mandatory for people to update to the
new products at least once every two years as some of the applications keep updating in tandem to the latest
technology. In addition to this, people technology gain a sense of respect among their peers, where they are
looked upon for any issues relating to the usage of the products. Therefore, because of the developments
various fields of technology one has to be in tune with the same.
I certainly agree knowing about the latest developments in the field of technology would open the doors for
career opportunities. For example, Google provides updates for its software applications once every three
months and mandates the public to know the inside working. People who keep updating about the latest
technologies, have a good working knowledge about the gadgets and can also suggest possible solutions incase
of any issues. As a result, companies can give them work opportunities where they can prove their talent which
in turn leads to a better career. Thus, this makes it clear that by the usage of new electronic gadgets then also
provides for a better life career wise.

In conclusion, people inclined towards using latest gadgets provides them with the latest happenings in
technological world and helps in career advancement.

47. Some people say that all secondary and higher secondary school students should be taught how to
manage money as it is an important life skill. DO you agree or disagree with this argument?

Keywords: people, secondary school, higher secondary school, money, life skill

Qualifying words: say that, taught, manage

Money management is a form of art where only few people are adept at it. Some people believe that, it is
important to teach young children on how to manage their finances while they are still pursuing their education
at school. I completely agree with this statement because it helps them to understand the value of money and
also teaches them various savings methods.

The knowledge of understanding one's own financial assets helps to plan for a bright future. For instance, a
survey by financial magazine Bloomberg revealed that, children who had the habit of saving money went on to
become millionaires by the time they reached the age of 30.Schools should conduct seminars on financial
management which must educate students to earn money through honest means. through Parents should
inculcate in their kids the value of money so that they spend frugally with more focus on savings. In addition to
this, they have to set for their young ones monthly or weekly financial goals and reward them with suitable
treats once they achieve their targets. Thus, taking the necessary action right from child would help them to be
better at their finances.

Certainly, I would acknowledge that child ought to be aware of the various savings schemes so that the
investment made during early age. For instance, Warren Buffet who is a billionaire attributes his success by
investing in the right stocks. Schools should conduct educational tours to various financial institutions such as
banks and other brokerage firms where children gain an understanding of how money can grow by investing in
various plans. Parents should encourage children to take up a part time work so that the money earned can be
useful for their school fees which would only make them realise the value of money and make them more
responsible. Therefore , one should inculcate the habit of saving money in a child right from an early age.

I agree that financial education should be imparted right at school level where children should have the practical
knowledge in money management and saving techniques.

48. Some people think that schools do not do enough to teach young people about how to look after their
health.

To what extent do you agree or disagree.

Keywords: people, schools, young people, health

Qualifying words: do not do enough, to teach, look afer\

Health is wealth is a popular saying and especially in the contemporary world people have developed
awareness on health. Some people believe that schools are not taking enough efforts on making children health
conscious. I completely agree with this statement because schools of the present era tend to focus more on
academics and also on financial gains.

A student's knowledge is measured by their scores in traditional science based subjects with little or no focus
on health matters. For example, students in India are made to study 18 hours a day leaving them with no time
for any kind physical activity. Schools may churn out better ranks for their students but at the same time these
children exhibit high stress levels during the process, which hampers their mental ability. Educational
institutions must make strict amendments to their daily curriculum by including classes on healthy eating, in
contrast, they are making the students to toil to perform better at studies. Therefore, schools need to
enlighten students on health benefits along with imparting valuable subject knowledge.

I would acknowledge that the subject of health is highly neglected in schools. For instance, in the present era
the success of the school depends on the number students enrolled for the academic year. In other words,
schools attract parents by displaying their academic success and the later need to more aware of their child's
health and join their kids in schools which works towards their overall well being. Schools are building state of
the art infrastructure such as classrooms and libraries but not playgrounds, with most of them being confined to
tall rise vertical building leaving no space for playing area. Thus, gaining students spells success for a educational
institutions but with zero focus on a child's overall mental and physical well being.

174. Do you agree or that improvements in technology reduce the role of Olympic Games?

Technological advancements have playing a vital role in sports competitions and athletic performances. It is
being believed that developments in technology minimized the role of Olympic games. I completely disagree
with this statement because technology has driven the sports to new heights with every Olympics and it also has
changed our viewing experience by getting us closer to real time entertainment.

Technology and science companies from all over the world battle to give the athletes the most telling edge. For
example, during the swimming competitions underwater cameras are being placed to monitor the physiological
performance and bio-degradable swim suits are introduced to increase the speed of the swimmers and minimize
the risk of injuries. Today's technology is used to gather the data for intensive analysis but also helps the
athletes to understand the risk of injury by tracking their physical movements. Therefore modern technology
can be used not only for the development of better safety equipment but also for enhancing athletic
performance.

I agree that technology has expanded the sports horizon by providing a number of broadcasting options. For
instance, one can watch the live telecast of Olympics ranging from the television screen to the mobile phone and
also on social media channels. This connects the sports fans around the world where they have the option to
stream their favorite game at home or at any place convenient. Furthermore, this level of accessibility leads to
growing viewership which means more revenue generation for the Olympic games through sponsors. Thus
,technology is being used to enliven the watching experience by reaching to every viewer possible.

In conclusion, increasingly, technological advancements has changed the Olympics for the better and also
enriched the viewing experience. I disagree that Olympic games are less famous because of technology.

Some people do not mind to spend their leisure time with their colleagues while some people prefer to keep their
private life separate from their work life.

Discuss both views and give your opinion.

keywords: people, leisure time, colleagues, private life, work life

qualifying words: do not mind, spend, prefer, to keep, separate

It is argued that some people like to spend their free time with their colleagues, while others prefer not mixing
their private and professional lives together. While living an isolated professional life one can earn the dignity
and respect, I believe that it is always by spending time with colleagues one can achieve better results and meet
the goals on time.

On the one hand, there people, who prefer their co workers to be confined to their work environment. For
example, managers in corporate industries isolate their employees under the impression of yielding better
results. Some people remain aloof with their partners at office because, being frequently acquainted with
people at work leads to an invasion of privacy which some do not prefer. Moreover spending free time with
colleagues may lead to a situation in knowing the weaknesses of the other person , where they can take this to
their advantages in the office. However, I believe that working in such a controlled environment might leade to
boredom and the employees can display signs of mental lethargy.

On the other hand, colleagues spending time with each other strengthens the professional bonding which
eventually leads to better results. To illustrate this, according marketing survey by Nielsen, more and more
software industry employees having lasting friendship with their office mates with whom they have successfully
implemented the projects. People who work in 9 to 5 shifts spend more time with their colleagues rather than
with family members and therefore it is important to develop a strong personal bonding. The reason for this is,
it leads to a understanding help where one can substitute other person's work in their absence especially during
critical times I believe this method to be preferable this eventually results in better company productivity.

In conclusion, although isolating professional and private life gets one to be authoritative and gets the work
done, it is always better to spend free time with colleagues which strengthens the personal bonding leading to
overall success of the company.

Music should not be taught in schools. Instead other subjects like computer and science should be taught. Do you
agree or disagree with this statement?

Keywords: music, schools, computer, science

Qualifying words: should not taught, instead, should be taught

Schools are engaging the children in a wide variety of subjects ranging from music to science and computer
based subjects. More preference should be given to science related subjects over music lessons. I completely
agree with this statement because analyzing the importance of science which is infused in our everyday lives
and also to provide better career opportunities in the long run.

Firstly, children need to have a strong understanding and sound practical knowledge of how science aids in
their daily routine. For example, physics is that branch of science which explains about the mechanism of our
movements relative to various objects and also biological sciences demonstrates the life process in the
environment . If students are not exposed to such subjects right from an early age, it would impair their critical
thinking and they would be incapable having a definite view of their own. Thus, this makes it clear that children
studying science related subjects helps to have a better outlook of the world surrounding them.

Secondly, I admit that more job opportunities are present in the fields related to computer sciences. To illustrate
this, software giant Google conducts yearly science exhibitions all around the world to select students who
demonstrate exceptional computer programs. With the present technology demanding a strong knowledge in
computers children who graduate in computers as their major are given much importance in all technological
areas which in turn provides for enhanced career growth. Moreover computers are the basis for all the research
and teaching right from an young age would make one foundation strong and also invoke their interest in the
use of these gadgets. Therefore, lessons computers should be taught more in the school.

In summary, giving importance to science and computer subjects over music and other traditional subjects help
to understand our environment in a practical way and also helps one to settle career wise.

Do you agree or disagree?

Keywords: people, schools, students,

Qualifying words: think, effective, allowed, participate, running

The success of an education institutions vests in the hand of its management. Some people that students need to
be given the reins to manage the school. I completely disagree with this statement because, they do not have
the required knowledge and experience and also they are always engaged with their studies.

Firstly, for effectively running the school children seems a complete misfit as they find it challenging to meet the
requirements. For instance, according to a survey by a psychological magazine , children need to be constantly
monitored until they reach late teens or until they would be able to take successful decisions on their own.
Entrusting a educational institution to children is a huge responsibility on the young minds where one should
have the knowledge in managing the financial resources along human personnel which. Furthermore, there
might arise some serious conflicts and to resolve the same one needs to provide a solution based on their ownn
intuition and previous experience, as any misjudgment might lead to making thing worse. Thus, this makes clear
that vesting the responsibilities of a school in the hands of a child would be a complete mismatch .

Secondly, I admit to the fact that children are always burdened with their studies and have their hands full
almost throughout the academic year. Take the example of the high school children in India, who are experience
high stress levels so as to reach the expectations of the society. On the one hand they regularly need to attend to
the class work and on the other they ought to complete their home work and assignments on time which
eventually counts towards their grades. Coupled with this, are the exams which they need to excel at any cost in
order to move ahead in their career. Moreover, during these process it is equally important to maintain their
health and spend an hour or so dedicated to their fitness so that they do not fall sick in the process. Therefore
expecting a child to effectively run the school during his career growth would only lead to failure.

In summary, children would not ideally fit to manage the school responsibilities as they lack the required though
process and also they to focus on doing better at their academics.

Some people think that illegal Internet downloads are having a negative effect on the music industry. Others feel
that they have little or no impact on artists. Discuss both sides and give your own opinion.

In the present era, music industry is as the most flourishing and popular among it contemporaries. Some people
believe that downloading music from the internet is incurring loss to the industry, whereas others are of the
opinion that this has a minimal effect on the artists. While free distribution does not seem to affect the
musicians, I believe that because of music piracy artists are not being recognized for their talent.

On the one hand, artists seems to be least perturbed by the sharing of music. For example, a survey by the
music magazine Billboard revealed that in the previous decade i.e. 2007-2017, more than 70,000 songs were
downloaded illegally. Although some music experts condemn such type of act, it is turning a boon to many of
the musicians whose talent is now being recognized in the public. Moreover, almost all of the artists are tied up
with established record label companies, where they are paid huge compensation for releasing their music
through these labels. However, I believe that this process of acquiring music through illegal means affects the
artists in the long run as costs involved are never recovered.

On the other hand, music piracy is affecting the artists as it fails to bring them the necessary recognition for their
efforts. Take the example of Michael Jackson, a popular singer of the 90's era whose music people shared and
downloaded illegally. Initially, this seemed to be a remarkable trait but in the long run it was setback for the
artist as the revenue generated from his songs stooped to low numbers. Furthermore, people were not
concerned about the physical efforts that went into producing one hit number. Despite the huge financial costs
involved in promoting the music and also restricting the songs to only paid websites, somehow the music finds
its way into the hands of music pirates. As a result, I believe that music industry is at loss because the cost
invested are never recovered and the main people affected are the artists.

In conclusion, although leaking music through internet might make the artist famous, it only further deteriorates
and causes a huge dent in the profits and also all the hard work goes in vain.

Some people think that exams are a good way of assessing a student’s level. Other people believe that they put
unnecessary pressure on young learners and tell us very little about their actual ability.

Examinations are the integral part of the course curriculum. It is argued that exams are a means of measuring a
student's talent, while others say that exams are only mount pressure on students and not an exact means of
assessing a student's ability. While exams may not fully assess a student's abilities, I believe that it is the only
criteria to move further in one's career.

On the one hand, schools may not follow certain standards for examinations to assess the students. For
instance, students in India are assessed every three months for their knowledge on different classroom
subjects when compared to American schools who conduct exams on a yearly basis. Most of the school
exams are confined to only text books the students base their opinion on the theoretical knowledge
from the books leaving no room for practical exposure. To add to this, students who perform poorly are
constantly compared to their talented counter parts which deteriorates the minds of the young ones
making them slip into depression. However, I believe that exams are conducted to know the loopholes
of a child and to constantly improve so as to make them better and prepare them for a bright career
ahead.

On the other hand, it is thought that exams are the best form of assessment for student For instance, software
companies hire candidates based on the percentage of marks scored in the academic subjects rather
than skills. Although most of the education experts condemn the present day exam pattern, it is the
only criteria where a student can display his fine knowledge and expertise. To add to this, examination
is the assessing media to segregate the intellectual students from the dull one where the former are
given more attention to be achieve something great in their later life. Moreover a person is recognized
in the society by the amount of degrees he possesses and examination is the only doorway for such
great feats. Therefore, I believe examinations are best way to assess a student's ability as it and also
measures the knowledge gained from a particular subject.

In conclusion, although exams are always not the right way in deciding a student's true potential, it can be the
only way in shaping their career.

Successful sportsmen can earn a great deal more than people in other important professions. Some people think
this is fully justified while others think it is unfair. Discuss both sides and give your own opinion.

Athletes receive huge pay checks for the services they render to a team. It is argued that the wages of sports
professionals are way too high when compared to the people involved in other professions. Although paying
huge compensation to sportsmen who are vital for a team's success is justified, I believe that it is more
important to encourage other professionals such a scientists, doctors and engineers by offering them huge
financial rewards.

On the one hand, a nation's pride rests in the success of its sports team. For instance, during the Olympics,
teams compete against each other and to stay on top of the medals list. This means, sports persons, men or
women are paid well than their peers as they go through a lot of sacrifices and put in the required hard work
throughout the season so that they can make their team win championships. This in turn can put their country
on the global map which eventually leads to surge in tourism and also instant recognition for that sport.
Athletes have a positive impact on their community as they are looked upon as role models especially by the
young ones who emulate them in their daily life. However, I believe that sportsmen does not have wider reach
when it comes to creating an impact on the society.

On the other hand, paying giving more financial to other professions is key in shaping the growth of the people.
For example, teaching the young ones at school and exposing them to science related subjects would mould
them into scientists , engineers and doctors. People in such different professions help in the growth of a nation
where they can build great infrastructure, research and discover medicines to treat deadly diseases. In addition
to this, the government should fund such professions as these people can reach to remote areas and create
awareness among the uneducated. Moreover, children need to be children to take up such professions as they
can have a rewarding career. Therefore, I believe these professionals need to be paid huge salaries so that the
their services they offer would makes world a better place to live.

In conclusion, although sportsmen who are offered huge contracts are limited to only certain nations and
section, non sports professional have a huge positive impact far and wide.

The quality of life in many large cities is currently becoming worse. Why is this? What measures can be
introduced to tackle this issue?

The lifestyle of the people living in big cities is getting deteriorated day by day. The primary cause of this
phenomenon are the lucrative opportunities the cities provide and the most viable solution is by developing the
city outskirts.

Highly developed countries such as United States and the U.K are known for their humongous cities where most
of the individual growth is concentrated. This is to say that it a melting pot for people who are looking to make
it big in their life with the cities offering successful university programs and also lucrative jobs. For example, a
recent survey by Forbes revealed that people preferred studies in the cities as the institutions had better
infrastructure when compared to those in the rural areas.This results in more number of people migrating to the
cities, which means plethora of personal vehicles which leads to rising pollution levels eventually taking a toll
on one's health.

A long term solution to this predicament is to encourage the industries to do the business in the city outskirts
and the sub urban areas. The business owners could be made aware of how cities could account for unhealthy
lifestyle when most of the companies are crammed beside one another. What is more important is, government
should impose restrictions and make the industries follow certain norms so as not to pollute the city areas by
disposing of their industrial waste .In addition to this, they should allocate unused lands so that companies
could setup their business in these areas. Eventually there is also high probability of many residential areas
being centered around that particular industries leading to job opportunities. For example, Detroit in the United
States is known as motor city as many of the household depends on the automobile industries in that area.

To recapitulate, with more number of people migrating to cities for better opportunities and to lead a
comfortable life is only degrading the quality of life , however it can be addressed by shifting the companies and
industries to the city limits and keeping the main city areas limited to residential purposes.

In the contemporary world, people are not aware of their surrounding neighbors. The primary cause of this
phenomenon is busy the lifestyle of the individuals and the most viable solution is frequent community
meetings so that the bonding between the humans is strengthened.
