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.

Importance Of Time # IELTS Speaking

TIME

Time is valuable and if you want to achieve something, you need to take care of it. So, today, let us have a look at some of the possible questions and answers related to importance of time.

Are you good at managing time?

I am not one of those who make a plan and work accordingly, setting the time and all. But for me, I decide the amount of work that needs to be done on particular day, without any particular order, and work accordingly. So, if you say managing time, I am average in it, because something things go here and there, but either ways, I make sure that the last product is good.

How do you manage your time?

Well, I manage my time by not thinking about time. I focus on the amount of work done and more importantly on its quality. For some reasons, the time gets managed accordingly. Focusing on what needs to be done at this point of time, helps a lot. To keep a note of the work, I maintain a diary that is almost next to me when I am on work.

When is it most important for you to manage time?

Always. It is not just about work or family, it is about life. So, one cannot be like give the entire time to work and also the vice versa. One has to juggle between the two and make sure that I am giving enough time to both. Also, there are priorities in both, so for me I need to take into consideration, both aspects of my life.

Travelling is always fun and with trains, the excitement goes a level higher, especially the sleeper coach.

When was the last time you traveled by train?

I remember, travelling to Bangalore for covering the Silicon Valley Of India. We were a team of ten people and going by that train was fantastic. We were in the sleeper class, so we could interact with as many people as we wanted to and we did. Moreover, it was like a complete transition, because we took off the train from Delhi. So, when we started reaching Bangalore,we could actually see the difference. It was really fun.
