Essay # Some people think that zoos are cruel and all zoos should be closed

August 13, 2019 IELTS Research

IELTS Writing Task # Essay

Some people think that zoos are cruel and all zoos should be closed. However, others think that zoos are useful for protecting rare animals. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

SAMPLE ANSWER-

All the wildlife is in a fight for survival. It is a precious gift of God to this planet which needs to be safeguarded from natural and man-made activities. Some people are of the opinion that zoos need to be banned in order to conserve extinct wildlife while others find zoos helpful in preserving rare species. From my personal standpoint, it is an urgent need to ban zoos that ill-treat wildlife for their own profitable purpose.

Zoos can be unsuitable habitats for wild animals therefore, they must be abolished. Some people consider zoos to be a cruel environment where the zoo owners camouflage their cruelty with conversation claims. Wild animals are supposed to remain in their natural habitat as in the zoos they are forced to breed or entertain the crowd, due to which they fall sick. Several wild creatures, who stay at these artificial environments do not behave like their usual counterparts. To give you an idea, polar bears can hardly walk for 5 meters when kept in a cage whereas in their Artic home they roam for hundreds of kilometers.

From another point of view, zoos provide a safe place to rehabilitate potentially lost species. Man-made activities like construction of factories by cutting down forests and hunting make wildlife’s natural habitat not a safe place to live. Many animals in zoos are well treated and live longer than they would in the wild. Like for instance, Project Tiger in India helped to conserve our national animal. Breeding programs are also practiced at zoos in order to save the endangered species.

Taking everything into account, zoos need to treat wildlife with care and stop manhandling them for entertainment purposes. Those wildlife sanctuaries and zoos that are seen mishandling wild animals should be banned immediately.

Dear Sir/Madam,

IELTS GT Letter: Problems with the Apartment, IELTS BAND7 DEHRADUN

Sample Answer

Dear Sir,
I am writing to bring to your notice the problems we are facing in our newly rented apartment. I am Anna White. My family moved to your flat number 131, Pacific Avenue, last month.

Overall, we are pleased with the facilities provided. But, for the last few days, the water supply has become very irregular. Water comes only in the evening from 6 pm to 7 pm. Apart from this, the water heater is not functioning. It is making a lot of noise and only cold water comes from the faucet.

As you know that my wife and I work in overseas firms. Our office timings are from 11:00 am to 8:00 pm. So, no one is at home to store water in the evening. Scarcity of water and non-functioning heater, both problems are causing a lot of inconvenience for us.

I had a word with the utility manager of the apartment. He assured us to resolve the issue. Unfortunately, it has been more than a week since then and no action has been taken to solve the problem. After waiting for many days, I decided to inform you. Please look into this matter as soon as possible.
I look forward to receiving a prompt response.
Yours Sincerely
Anna White

IELTS Essay # Public health responsibility of the government or the individual?

August 9, 2019 IELTS Research

IELTS Writing Essay

Public health responsibility of the government or the individual?

Some people think that public health in a country can be improved by the government making laws regarding nutritious food. Others, however, think that health is a matter of personal choice and responsibility. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

SAMPLE ANSWER-

A healthy nation is a wealthy nation. This essay will discuss whether health care is the duty of the government or the individual himself. According to me, the government can be held responsible for the public health care centers while at a personal level, individuals must take care of their health.

The government can improve the health care facilities of a nation. The state can take adequate measures to ensure decent health care infrastructure. Officials can also promote healthy communities, like for instance, promotion of free eye care or dental checkup organized by the state. Awareness about communicable diseases and their prevention is also the duty of the government. Keeping our environment clean is not the sole duty of the individuals but of the government as well. The distribution of national resources on health care centers scarcely can be problematic for society as a whole.

Under other conditions, health is the ultimate responsibility of the individual. Factors like hereditary conditions and inactive lifestyle of humans do contribute largely. Even if the illness is self- inflicted or not, one must take care of their health without depending upon the government. There are some measures that individuals can implement in order to improve their health. For instance, activities like smoking and intoxication can be avoided by the people themselves in order to enjoy an active lifestyle.

In the final analysis, to contribute for the nation and be responsible citizens, we need to have a certain level of health and well-being. For me personally, well-being is an individual’s responsibility and they must not fail to assume this responsibility. Though the Government needs to provide adequate healthcare facilities, as a basic human right, people must not take advantage of the welfare facilities provided by the nation.

IELTS Essay # Further education or work experience

August 8, 2019 IELTS Research

IELTS Writing task Essay

Further education or work experience.

It is more important to invest in further education rather than to gain work experience after finishing university in order to find a good job.

To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Giver reasons for you answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

Sample Answer

There has always been a quintessential debate about the best form to get a preferable job. Some agree that going for higher studies is beneficial. While some oppose as they consider getting hands on experience more valuable. Overall, I believe that both scenarios of academic qualification and work skills have their own advantages for securing a desirable future.

Many people question the value of a college degree even though it is still one of the only investment that guarantees a return. Education improves our knowledge for the field we choose thereby improving our efficiency. For example, in order to get promotion and deliver lectures, a lecturer needs to get a graduate degree, masters’ degree and a doctorate degree respectively. It is not possible for a university graduate to get a job at a college. Clearly, higher studies equip students with technical skills and theoretical knowledge that can provide a prospective career. It will definitely respond to a broader set of goals and provide both tangible and intangible benefits not only for the person but from their family as well.

On the other hand, there are some occupations that give more importance to skill acquisition and work experience of an individual. Sectors like sales and marketing consider experience as the best kind of knowledge, for instance, an experienced salesperson will be more productive for the company. It is a fact that job experience helps the student to prepare for a wider competition of the world apart from academics. For example, IT (Information Technology) sector will not be productive if the person does not have the knowledge to operate the software.

In my opinion, though higher education can be expensive, especially for students with low financial background, it is an investment that will be fruitful in all ways. The long-term benefits of further education like a better lifestyle and standard of living will outweigh the costs of the degree.
