Writing Task 2: History Versus Science Subjects Best IELTS Band 7 Coaching in Dehradun

Sample Answer

Primary education has always played a major role in building the foundation of knowledge. Students study various subjects to enhance their understanding about different areas of life. History is one of them, which provides us knowledge about our past. Some people believe that history must be taught in the primary schools, whereas, other think that the priority should be given to the subjects like Science and Technology. I will discuss about both the views in my essay.

On one hand, this subject is essential to learn about the evolution of societies and causes of change. Moreover, we also get to know about different cultures and dynasties prevalent worldwide. History compiles real life stories which further motivate many people. It also educates us about the causes of sufferings we had in the past. This knowledge can help us avoid those mistakes in the future. We generally believe that one must not dwell on the past rather should focus on the present and future. But the roots of the present and future are always linked to the past. Hence, we cannot ignore the importance of knowing about the past to create a better future.

Certainly, history is beneficial to mankind. Nevertheless, the absence of its practical applications in today’s contemporary world has affected its popularity. Cramming dates and years of the past incidents kills the creativity of the learner. Today’s generation is focusing more on technological innovations for future developments. For that reason, subjects like history do not fit into the current education system. In addition, teachers use conventional methodology to teach History. Consequently, the subject becomes boring and less participative.

To conclude, students often question the relevance of having a history class in the schools. But they do not understand the intensity of change this subject can bring to our lives. Every subject has its relevance and contribution in our lives. Even though, in the age of robots, it is essential to study science based subjects, in my opinion, the information about our culture and origin is equally important.

Writing Task 2: Essay on ' Time is Money ' Best IELTS Band 7 Coaching in Dehradun

Sample Answer

I completely agree with the famous phrase written by Benjamin Franklin that ‘Time is Money’. Time is indeed precious and priceless. We require time to earn money but money cannot buy the time which is lost. We all get limited amount of time in our lives. Therefore, it depends on us whether we utilise our time productively or just waste it aimlessly.

This proverb signifies that time outweighs money. As we know, time is moving ahead continuously. Present becomes past with a blink of an eye. It means that we must respect time more than anything else. The actions we take at the right time defines our achievements in life. Opportunities in life must be identified and harnessed timely to experience an event of great grandeur. Understanding the true value of time is essential to taste success in life. Life is uncertain and the amount of time we get in life is predefined and limited. I believe, a moment gone never comes back, it is lost forever. Therefore, we shouldn’t be careless with our time.

Therefore, time management is an indispensable skill to increase efficiency and effectiveness. In order to manage our time, we must have certain goals to attain. Every individual should prepare and follow a schedule of planned activities to accomplish aforesaid target. In this way we can make our actions goal-oriented and less time consuming. The act of time management symbolises the value of time one holds in one’s life.

To conclude, like money, time can neither be earned nor saved for the future use. Time and life are completely inseparable. We have no control on time but we can control our actions. By taking right actions at right time, we can make our life more satisfactory .People who waste their time in wandering aimlessly, tend to suffer. We can either make the best use of the time or just repent afterwards.

Writing Task 2: Which is more important while choosing a company to work - higher salary or good working atmosphere Best IELTS Band 7 Coaching in dehradun

Sample Answer

Nowadays, jobs have become very demanding in terms of performance and involvement. People have to work to earn a living at any cost. However, selecting a job and the workplace entirely depends on an individual’s value systems. Every person aspires to fulfill different needs to achieve satisfaction in life. Some people think that salary is the predominant motivational factor in a job whereas others think that a congenial working environment is more valuable. I will discuss both the views in my essay.

People usually look for a job which offers a high pay scale. So that, they can maintain a luxurious life style. Moreover, they believe that money can buy everything to gain happiness. A job with high remuneration is also an indicator of success and advancement. As a result, employees do not mind devoting extra time to their jobs to gain promotions and increments .A person having high  income not only has more savings but high purchasing power as well. Additionally, higher salary is also required to spend on possessing luxurious things to build a high social status.

On the other side, some people opt for a job providing a better organisational culture and climate. There are employees who can forego monetary benefits but cannot compromise with their peace of mind. They believe in maintaining a healthy work-life balance, so that they can perform better at the workplace along with spending time with their loved ones. For such people, satisfaction in personal and professional lives are equally important to remain happy.

To conclude, in my opinion, a job with a higher salary may increase our wealth, but adversely affects our physical and mental health. People find happiness in materialistic things, ignoring the fact that happiness is actually a state of mind. Possession of money and power does not guarantee a life full of peace and happiness.
