Boys are mostly influenced by their fathers while girls tend to get influenced by their mothers.

Do you agree or disagree?

Write at least 250 words.

SAMPLE ANSWER

Parents tend to play a very important role in the lives of their children. Although some people believe that the gender of the parent has an effect on how their children look upon them. For instance, a boy is more likely to look forward to his father as role model and vice versa, while others tend to disagree. In my opinion, it is the personality of parent that plays an important role rather than gender.

A father often is more likely to influence the son and mother to daughter for simple reason that at basic level a father is more like is son and other wise. It is more easier for the daughter to look upon her mother and be like her because she knows that the issues she is facing at present, her mother must have also gone through. Even more, mothers being emotional, often don’t get grasp off their son, which makes it obvious for them to look forward to their father.

Parents

On the other hand, it is more about the personality of the individual that helps them influence others. For instance, a mother who is the CEO of a company or the one who spends more time with her children is likely to influence them more. In addition, a child learns more by what they see rather than what they are told. Therefore, it is the behavior of both their parents that mold the thinking of the child.

Overall, surely too an extent the gender plays its role in influencing the child, however, it is the atmosphere that both parents provide to their child that define the approach of their children.

Natural resources are depleting and there are not enough to sustain the economic growth of the country.

To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Write at least 250 words.

SAMPLE ANSWER

An increase in population world wide has marked a dramatic decrease in the natural resources. Some people are of the opinion that at such rates of depletion, sooner we will have no natural resources for the economic growth of the country. However, others believe that with the advancement in technology, ways to preserve natural resources will pop up.

On one hand, natural resources are surely depleting at faster rates than ever before. Main reason being their increased demands. For instance, with more people have two wheeler vehicles, the consumption of petrol has risen, leading to the fall in its amount. Lesser the petrol, higher will be the prices and more money will get spent on the transportation, dampening the economic growth.

Natural Resources

On the other hand, with the advancement in technology it is possible that we might not even use the natural resources at the rate at which we are presently using. For instance, it is quite possible that within ten years a technology to utilize wind energy more effectively is made. This will surely decrease the use of non-renewable resources, leading to their prevention and increased economic growth (wind is free).

Overall, levels of natural resources are surely going down but it is no doubt that with advancement in technology, the alternative methods will be used more effectively in near future, improving the economic and environmental standards.
