SAMPLE ANSWER

Nuclear technology has been one of the most powerful invention of the 20th century but most people are afraid to use it because of the dangers associated with its use.  Though it is true that nuclear weapons pose the greatest threat to life, just like any other invention, it also has its positive side.

Firstly, most of the countries of the world are facing energy crisis and don’t have much gas or electricity to provide to its country people. As a result, they import it from other countries, making it difficult to pay for other developments. Nuclear power can be a great source for energy for these countries and can be a very effective solution for them to improve their life standard and overall economic status.

Secondly, nuclear technology is a much more available and cleaner solution to our possible energy and environmental crisis. At the current level of technology, the discovered nuclear supply will be enough to sustain the earth for more than a century. Its generation, if properly operated, produces nothing other than heat, so it is considered super clean.

However,in the midst of globalization, among the many national frontiers nuclear technology and power pose the greatest threat. Improper use of his powerful technological gizmo, could lead to catastrophic effects.

Overall, just like a knife does not kills people, it is the individual who decides whether he/she wants to use it for killing people or cutting vegetables. Similarly, nuclear power has its own positives and negatives and it is the responsibility of the world powers to make sure it is used positively.

IELTS Speaking Sample Answer # Changes In Future

What changes do you think will come in the education system in future?

Answer A) I think in future, education system will get completely transformed. One can imagine, not having books, but rather mobile phones or tablets using which students will study and or give assignments. It is also quite possible that human interaction between teachers and students will be taken over by robots. Although, I think there won’t be any changes regarding exams and they will continue to exist, I hope that the fear of exams will decrease. Well, as far as my imagination goes, I think students will have the option of attending the class from wherever they want to and attendance could be taken by the number of students who were online.

Answer B) In the next 50 years, I think education system will surely change. It is quite possible that books will get replaced by mobile phones and teachers. Also, may be the concept of going to school will be taken away. It is quite likely possible that there would be a robot teacher who would answer the queries and would explain students the chapters according to the wish of the child. I think it is very likely possible that the entire education system will become digitalized.

IELTS Speaking Sample Answer # Change In Past

How has education changed in the past ten years?

A) With the advancement in technology, education has surely broadened. Gone are the days when students were limited to what they have, with internet, now anyone can learn anything. They are not limited by just 100 pages of a book, but are open to a new possibility of learning more and effectively. Most of the schools, now even have smart classes to teach children. Students are able to learn better because they are able to see the real processes.

B) Although, there have been some major technological advancement, I think the education system is still the same. Obviously, students have now more options, I think apart from some big schools, the same old format of learning through books is followed. Children tend to study what is there in the book, rather than learning beyond it.  It is also not their fault, as most of them don’t realize the power of internet. In my opinion, the seed is sown, but there is a long way to go before we can make some major changes in the education system.

C) I think there have been some changes in education system, since past ten years. However, there are some similarities as well. Like, now more and more schools are using technology to improve the quality of education, but still, replacement a teacher is not found in technology. We have moved towards grade system, because earlier there was marking system till class X, however, the madness of getting into IIT is still the same. I think there have been changes and there will be more in coming times.
