IELTS Essay Sample Answer # Scientific Research

You should spend 40 minutes on this task.

Governments should be responsible for funding and controlling scientific research rather than private organizations.

To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Write at least 250 words.


The only way an individual can progress is by having a strong and effective scientific research. But in recent times, some people believe that it must be done by private, while others believe that it is the sole responsibility of government. In my opinion, a better research is possible only if government and private institutions join hands together.

The government organisations are driven by the need to make advances in knowledge in order to improve people’s lives. So, the funding for a research would be only made if it is for the better of the individual. However, private institutions are driven by profit. So, they are more likely to invest in a project that will give more benefits.

Even more, if the funding for research comes from one organisation we are more likely to get biased results. For instance, government will release a particular drug only after testing it well, this often takes more time than necessary.  The companies have large amounts of money invested in such research and the need for positive results is paramount. It is difficult for a scientist to remain impartial in these circumstances.

Overall, in my opinion, side lining one kind of funding might not be the best possible thing to do. This would result in an upheaval, the best way would be to utilize the benefits of government funding for poor and those of private to make some profits.

IELTS Essay Sample Answer # Animal Rights

You should spend 40 minutes on this task.

A growing number of people feel that animal should not be exploited by people as animal rights are same rights as humans, while others argue that humans must employ animals to satisfy their various needs, including uses for food and research.

Discuss both views and give your opinion.

Write at least 250 words.


SAMPLE ANSWER

Animals are a part of nature, as humans are. However, in recent times the exploitation of animals has increased, causing animals to extinct. Some people believe that humans have the rights to exploit animals for their own benefit, while others disagree.

There are several reasons for people believing that animals can be used for the benefit of mankind. Firstly, there is a common belief that humans are the highest of the species in hierarchy. This means that if by experimenting on animals we can fight and find cures for diseases, then this takes priority over animal suffering. Secondly, animals are assumed to feel no pain or suffering as humans do, and therefore to kill animals is morally acceptable.

However, some people are of the opinion, that animals are very much the part of nature as we humans are. To prove this fact, several experiments have been done on animals which clearly prove that they feel the same amount of suffering and loss as humans do. Even more, a considerable amount of research on animals are done for cosmetics, rather than diseases, so it must be avoided. Also, it has been proved that humans can get all the vitamins and minerals from green vegetables, which makes eating or exploiting animals avoidable.

Overall,  although some people argue killing animals for research and food is ethical, in my opinion, exploiting animals will extinct them and cause imbalance in nature.

IELTS Essay Sample Answer # Human Cloning

You should spend 40 minutes on this task.

As people live longer and longer, the idea of cloning human beings in order to provide spare parts is becoming a reality. The idea horrifies most people, yet it is no longer mere science fiction.

To what extent do you agree with it?


SAMPLE ANSWER

The cloning of animals has been occurring for years now, however, in recent times, with advancement in science and technology, cloning of humans has also become possible. Although some people believe that it is the best thing that has happened to human kind, others disagree. In my opinion, although it is a great thing, but excessive usage of it, might not be the right idea.

Cloning of humans certainly  opens up doors for many. For instance, people who lose their body parts or are born with some deficiency, can very well lead a normal life, which allows them to do all the activities. Even more, it is a great news for those who lose their loved ones, with human cloning, they might be able to at least live with someone look alike of their beloved.

However, cloning brings in the dilemma of creating another human. It might even give rise to crimes where individuals are killed. With human cloning, one will never be able to find out the criminal, as in few days one can have a look alike of the dead person. Even more it could take away rights from many individuals. For instance, a suppose a person has his/her clone, it is very possible that they mess with their work or the relationships they have.

Overall, in my opinion, cloning is vast subject. Although it will be very beneficial, I suppose the negative effects are more than the positive and it is better if we avoid it for further development.

IELTS Essay Sample Answer # Advertisment

You should spend 40 minutes on this task.

Advertising has become an inevitable part of our lives. Some people believe that it is a positive aspect of our lives while others are of opposite belief.

Discuss both views and give your opinion.

Write at least 250 words.


SAMPLE ANSWER

Advertisements have surely become an important part of our lives. The way consumer buys a product, depends mostly on the advertising model of the company. Although, some people are of the opinion that we have become more aware and are able to take better decisions because of advertisements, others are of the opinion, a clutter has been generated because of it.

Looking at the negative impact, advertisements surely have had many. Firstly, it makes consumers buy things that may be they don’t need. For instance, a woman who sees an advertisement of a new product is more likely to buy it, even if not required. This often causes financial tensions in some cases. Secondly, often times people make fake advertisements. Like, an ad in newspaper saying eat this medicine to become slim in ten days. People tend to buy them and face the consequences.

However, ads are also helpful for the consumer. For example, an ad that tells about the effects of smoking and urges people to stop smoking, is more likely to have a broad effect. On seeing visuals, people are more likely to get affected. Secondly, it allows business people to start a business or a product. Such as, a company that opens a new line of product, can easily make people aware of it using advertisements.

Overall, advertisements, like everything, have both sides i.e. negative as well as positive. In my opinion, we need to be more smart to look through if the advertisement is real or fake.
