High Level Positions # Essay For IELTS

Most high level positions in companies are filled by men even though the work force in many developed countries is more than 50 percent female. Companies must allocate a certain percentage of these positions to women.
To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Write atleast 250 words.

SAMPLE ANSWER

Every individual is unique and brings with them their own skill sets. However, in recent times, it has been observed, that the work places often have more women than men, but the only a slight number of them handle the high level positions. There are opinions that the number of women in higher positions must be increased. I believe that every individual must be given the opportunity to rise up, however, giving men or women a certain position just because of the gender could be quite unfair in the competitive times that we live in.

Allocating or reserving a certain percentage of high order seats for women could bring with it great benefits. Firstly, the chances of discrimination gets reduced. Secondly, it creates a supportive work environment for other female employees to know that a certain percentage of management is female. Thirdly, women have valuable skills of communication and diplomacy for higher levels of opportunities in the company. Assuring certain seats for them in higher positions, gives women the satisfaction that their skills can be helpful for the place they work. This allows a room for increased efficiency of work force.

On the other hand, if not handled properly, it too has few negative aspects. Firstly, companies cannot be sure that they will receive suitable female applicants to fill a certain percentage of senior positions. Secondly, this forces companies to fulfill percentage even though it may be to their detriment. Thirdly, senior positions must be allocated on the basis of experience, skills and genders.

Overall, in my opinion, it is not just about reserving certain percentage for women, it is about creating an environment that allows equal opportunities for all women. However, allocating few seats for women could be a good way to ensuring such an environment, if done in the right spirit.

Importance Of Schools # Essay For IELTS

Some people think that schools are merely turning children into good citizens and workers, rather than benefiting them as individuals. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Write atleast 250 words.

SAMPLE ANSWER

Schools are the second most important place for a child after house. They have a great impact on what a child becomes into. However, some people believe that in present times, the main focus of schools is to turn their students into excellent civilians or employees of the country rather than nurturing their individualism. Although schools are for learning the various aspects of the society, I believe that it depends on more on the individual, how they can turn the situations around for themselves.

Schools are a very important part of our society and impart knowledge to the students. However, people believe that they have simply turned to a place where a child learns how to fit in the society. Firstly, the schools teach discipline which in turn makes children into effective workers. It is also taught to children what is right and wrong i.e. what is assumed to be right or wrong by the society in general. Even more, schools instill the cultural values that are shared by the society. The methodology adapted by schools brings into minds of the students the different ways by which a person can succeed in the job market.

On the other hand, few people are of the opinion that students learn individualism in schools. A school helps children discover their potential. To illustrate, a school organizes various cultural events like painting,dancing, singing or writing. There are even several sports that are played. A child who participates in different functions get to know that their innermost potential. Secondly, after a certain age, a child is allowed to choose the subjects they like, this in turn helps them be prepared for the future. Thirdly, a child through school gets to know the environment in which they live in.

Overall, a school is just a medium of imparting knowledge. It depends on the individual as well other factors such as the environment of the country or the house, which decides the way a child grabs the different education conveyed.

High Salary # Essay For IELTS


In many countries in the world, some people earn extremely high salaries. There are two opinions regarding it. On one hand, people believe that this is good for the country. Others believe that government must not allow salaries above certain level.
Discuss both views and give your opinion.
Write at least 250 words.

SAMPLE ANSWER

The economy of a country is a representation on its country men. In recent times, it has been observed that few people of the country have extremely high salary while others seem to lie in the mediocrity. There are some of the opinion that this distribution of money is good for the economy of the country, however, few others believe that government must restrict earning after a certain level. In my opinion, each individual is to its own. Restricting someone to earn more might not be the best thing, however,motivating others to earn more, will increase the economy by many folds.

We must acknowledge people earning high salaries. Firstly, not every individual works as hard as some others. Allowing them to earn high salaries will be like rewarding people who are greatly skilled and talented. Secondly, high salary is often a motivating factor for people to earn more and work harder. This in turn is beneficial to the economy of the country. Thirdly, giving high salaries deter skilled or talented people from leaving the country. For instance, a developing county if pays its highly skilled individuals high salary , chances are they will stay in the country and could help in the further development of the country.

However, there are certain down sides to paying high salary as well. Firstly, it can be disheartening for some to earn a low salary while others receive a high salary without much justification. This in turn has led to people asking that government must limit the salaries. It is believed that capping high salaries will prevent the rich from gaining unfair control over certain aspects of society. Even more, limiting high salaries will mean more funding for public services which will benefit all people in society.

Overall, in my opinion, an individual who has worked hard and has in turn made them into skilled workers, must surely be paid high salaries. However, it must be taken care that the entire focus of the government must not shift towards them.

The Social Media Effect # Practice Reading

Over the past 15 years, the world as we know it has been taken by storm through the onset (a beginning or start) of social media (websites and other online means of communication that are used by large groups of people to share information and to develop social and professional contacts). According to Com score (2011) about 90 percent of U.S. Internet users visit a social media site each month. Because we live in such a largely global-society (used to refer to a society that is being built in modern times in which all the people of the world have a good deal in common with one another), creating and maintaining an online presence has become most relevant (bearing upon or connected with the matter in hand) in promoting (to help or encourage to exist or flourish) your brand and expanding (to increase in extent, size, volume, scope, etc) your social network (a network of friends, colleagues, and other personal contacts).

As we know, perception (the act or faculty of perceiving, or apprehending by means of the senses or of the mind; cognition; understanding)is everything; especially in the world of social media. In terms of perception, we all have an ideal self. We all wish to maximize our careers, our profession, and aspire (to long, aim, or seek ambitiously) to be like those who we find most successful (achieving or having achieved success). As the use of social media continues to evolve; the concept of presenting our ideal selves versus our real selves has become more and more prevalent (widespread; of wide extent or occurrence; in general use or acceptance.) on social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Google+, Pinterest, and even LinkedIn.

As research (to search or search for again) suggests (to mention or introduce (an idea, proposition, plan, etc.) for consideration or possible action), your “real self” is what you are – your attributes (to regard as resulting from a specified cause; consider as caused by something indicated (usually followed by to), your characteristics (a distinguishing feature or quality), and your personality (the visible aspect of one’s character as it impresses others). Your “ideal self” is what you feel you should be; much of it due to societal and environmental influences. From a societal (noting or pertaining to large social groups, or to their activities,customs, etc.) standpoint (the point or place at which a person stands to view something), many of us are driven by competition (the act of competing; rivalry for supremacy, a prize, etc), achievement (something accomplished, especially by superior ability, special effort,great courage, etc.; a great or heroic deed), and status; hence, the creation (the act of producing or causing to exist; the act of creating;engendering.) and portrayal (a portrait)of our ideal selves.
