SAMPLE ANSWER

Tourism is about visiting new places with religious, cultural and historical importance. Travelling helps people know and expand beyond their present and in recent times there has been an increased number of people who love travelling. This allows host country to get rich income. With countries working on tourism, it has become a major source of foreign exchange.

There are several merits of tourism. Firstly, it enhances the value and image of the nation in front of the entire world. There is a flow of foreign investment which leads to improvement of infrastructure facilities. Not only this, there are jobs and careers created for individuals. For example, a country with great tourism, allows people to jump in its business, from hotels to tourist shops and lot more. Even more, travel reduces the difference among diversified sections of society and promotes better understanding, amity among people.

However, there are certain disadvantages associated with tourism. With the increased number of tourist, tourist places have been getting polluted and losing their natural beauty. Even more, often to earn more revenue from a particular place, certain changes are made to the local area, that leads to the area losing its originality. There are even times when tourist and local people have rifts between them, causing worry and tension among people.

Governments should design comprehensive tourism policy to promote tourism. There should be program and shows to publicize a particular place. Even more, tourists should be asked to undergo medical examination and be explained about the social etiquette and values.

In conclusion, tourism has surely become an important revenue source and efforts must be taken to modernize it. It allows for better international relations between countries and a feeling of universal brotherhood. (287 Words)

IELTS Speaking Sample Questions # Idol Worship

There are people in the world you do great things and achieve so much success. These are the people who are thought to be the change makers, the ones who are stars of their fields. Although, they are individuals with extremely successful careers, often people tend to worship them. Some people believe that they are simply successful individuals, while many others tend to worship them.

Who are the most popular singers or groups in your country?

India has some legendary singers to its bucket list. There is Lata Mangeshkar who is thought to be the nightingale of our country. Then, we have A.R Rehman, also Sonu Nigam, Asha Bhosle, Mohit Chauhan are some of the reigning superstars of our country. From the past, we had some great singers like, Mukesh, Kishore, Rafi. These were the singers who are thought to be great at what they do.

What are some crazy examples of fan worship you have heard of?

India being such a vast country, there is so much that you hear, all of that being so unique. There are temples in South India for superstars like Rajnikanth, Amitabh Bachchan and others. Even pundits go to these film stars home to  get prashad for the worshippers. There have been cases when people have modified their appearances to such an extent when they start looking like their film stars. People have even gone out to propose their favorite stars and so much more.

How far is too far when talking about fan worship?

I think when fans start interfering into the personal life of  their superstars, that is when it becomes too far. When they start believing that they own a particular superstar, it becomes irritating. There have been cases when people have gone out of their way too much just for a star. For example, recently in our country Anushka Sharma was shamed a lot because of his connection with Virat Kohli and Virat’s poor performance. People linked the two and caused rift in the pair’s personal relation. This I think was too far.

Is there any particular band that you are huge fan of?

Oh, Yes! I am in love with One Direction. I think they sing superb and the music and the beats it is so great that just listening to their song once is not enough. The videos are good and the meaning of their songs is even more beautiful.

What were some of the groups that you really loved when you were younger?

When I was young, I remember following Pussycat dolls a lot. I really did liked their songs. Some of them like, When I grow up. This was the song that I used to hear a lot and would imagine myself doing all of these things said in the lyrics.

Who do you think promotes superstars?

I think superstars never promote themselves on their own. They have their marketing teams and all of those academicians out there to help them. From the very basics to the things that they like, everything is put out in such a manner as if they are trying to sell the superstar and it does help. The more brand image a superstar carries, more are the chances of them being successful.

Do you think superstars should be given the importance they are being showered with?

Superstars are doing a great job entertaining people, be it in the field of music or films. But, in my opinion, they are given much more importance than they deserve. There are so many others  who do deserve the respect and the fame superstars are given. For example, we have our soldiers who are doing a great job, helping our country and the people live a peaceful life. And then there are so many other sportsmen who are not given the due respect even thought they outshine themselves at the world stage.

Why do you think certain entertainers live such a long life of success while others tend to lose it quickly?

In my opinion, it is more about consistent hard work. There are people who even after gaining success are constantly improving themselves and these are the ones who tend to stay successful for long time. The ones who stop practicing after gaining a short stint at success tend to fall out.

Who is your favorite superstar and why?

My favorite has to be Priyanka Chopra. I admire her more than any one else out there. She has been a great model, great actress, singer and such a philanthropist. All of that on her own. There were times in our country when women were not respected as much in terms of money and the job that they take. But, this girl went out and changed the way things are there. She has worked with some great artists and yet maintained her own identity.

IELTS Essay # Subjects You Love

You should spend 40 minutes on this task.
Some people think that all university students should study whatever they like.
Others believe that they should be only allowed to study subjects that are useful in future, like science and mathematics.
Discuss both views and give your opinions.

The above question has been asked in a latest IELTS academic writing section 2. The most important part of answering is understanding the question. So, first thing first, understand the question. What is it talking about? There are people who believe that we should study subjects that will earn us money while others believe we should study subjects that we like. Now, you are supposed to talk about both the views and then give your opinion.

The best way of answering a question like this would be to figure out the points you will be saying for both the opinions. When that is done, you are set to write your essay and get that perfect band that you want.

Points
  1. Certain courses like, engineering, information technology offer more job opportunities and better salaries than other jobs.
  2. On society level, certain jobs are considered to be more respectable than others.
  3. Focus on technology in higher education leads to new invention, economic growth and greater future prosperity.
  4. Society benefits best when people do what they love.
  5. Certain aspects like creative thinking, knowledge on history, arts helps person for all round development.
Sample Answer

People have different opinions about the choice students should have with regard to the subjects they choose for study at university. While some argue that it would be better if students be forced into certain key subject areas, there are opinions stating a person should be allowed to do what they love the most. I believe, a society can truly succeed when every individual does what they love.

There are various benefits for directing the students towards areas like technology, computers, science, medicines etc as they are likely to be more beneficial than certain art degrees. With so many companies being technology centric, there are more career opportunities and job progression, better salaries and hence improved life style for people who take them. On society level, by forcing people into certain areas, governments can ensure the knowledge and skill gaps be filled in the economy. Even more, it helps in new inventions, economic growth and greater future prosperity.

In spite of these arguments, forcing a student towards a certain area merely because of better economic growth is less likely to bring in the required benefits. In my opinion, a society benefits from people who are passionate about learning. Even more, it is not possible to predict what areas of study will be beneficial for the society in long run. Allowing an individual to follow their passion allows them to do the things in a perfect way and bring about change in the world.

In conclusion, although it seems practical and sensible for universities to give more preference for certain subject, I prefer the freedom to lie within an individual on the choice of subjects. (274 Words)
