IELTS Essay # Most school offers some type of physical education program to their students

September 7, 2019 IELTS Research

IELTS Writing Task # Essay

Most school offers some type of physical education program to their students. Why is it important? Should physical education classes be required or optional?

SAMPLE ANSWER-

Physical education has long been a compulsory subject within the school curriculum. Though some people regard it crucial for developing the habit of exercising among students, others oppose this view as they think that forcing students to do something is not an efficient way of generating their interests. In this essay, I will discuss why this subject should be obligatory for physically abled students.

In today’s hi-tech society, a sedentary lifestyle is led by most of the youngsters. For holistic schooling, physical education must be mandatory since it helps students to get a break from academic pressure. Diseases like obesity and other illness can be avoided when a child actively participates in outdoor activities. In fact, the quest for national athletes begins at schools and the students also develop a sense of teamwork and brotherhood when they are involved in outdoor activities.

On the contrary, a handful of people consider sports to be a waste of school and student’s time and resources. Furthermore, students who are physically disabled are forced to cope with the brutality and criticism of others on the field and can become vulnerable to bullies on the sports field. Students can be taught about healthy living and fitness in classrooms without the need for dragging them into physical exertion.

I concur that unlike the bygone era in which children were forced to participate in certain activities, nowadays physical education should be a voluntary subject instead of a mandatory one. As students have the right to choose the subjects depending upon their interests, outdoor activities like sports and exercising should also be optional.

IELTS Essay # Prison sentences should not be used to deal with criminals

September 7, 2019 IELTS Research

IELTS Writing Task # Essay

Some people think that prison sentences should not be used to deal with criminals. Education and skills training should be used instead. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

SAMPLE ANSWER-

The use of imprisonment is a common form of punishment followed by the law. But a majority of people hold the opinion that education and training skills can be a major factor in crime reduction. I partially agree that prison sentence is not the only solution to criminal activities as educating the prisoners can help them too.

Some people think that imprisonment of the criminals is mandatory for reformation of the person and the society as a whole. As recidivists is a common reason because of which people are put behind the bars, there is a fear among the culprits that unlawful conduct has serious consequences. However, without the possibility of punishment many individuals would break the law. Without serious punishments like imprisonment, people would seek vengeance against each other which would result into endless conflicts.

Education helps an individual differentiate between the right and wrong. The idea that prison should offer education to inmates is gaining popularity. In a recent survey conducted, it has been proven that majority of the criminals belonged to a lower social group and were illiterate. If the government start educating or giving skillful training to them, it may improve their employment prospects which would result into crime reduction.

To sum up, the traditional punishment of imprisonment should not be considered the only way to deal with criminals. It is important to provide education and other skills so that they can become transformed individuals. Therefore, instead of sitting idle in jail and thinking about vengeance, they will be preoccupied with more productive activities.

Essay # Some people think that e-books are the death of paper books.

September 5, 2019 IELTS Research

IELTS Writing Task # Essay

Some people think that e-books are the death of paper books while others think that paper books will never disappear.

Discuss both sides and give your opinion.

SAMPLE ANSWER-

In the era of cyberspace, e-books are gaining popularity. Though some people anticipate that with the evolution of e-books, traditional paper books have lost their popularity. While others opine that digital books cannot replace reading printed books. This essay will discuss the views.

With the progress in science, e-books are a boon for budding writers and readers. Factors like technological convenience and environment can be kept into consideration. As everything is available with one click online, readers can have access to a vast variety of books in an online library. Moreover, with deforestation at its peak, cutting down more trees for publishing books can be harmful to the environment. Therefore, e-books are pocket-friendly, eco-friendly and convenient to use.

At the same time, some oppose that e-books do not deliver the same physicality and tangibility as a real book. In addition, the feeling of owning a book is quite different from surfing the online library. The concentration level of the reader and better understanding of the characters is part f reading a printed book. There are millions of books available in the market and some of the ancient manuscripts cannot be translated into digital forms. Therefore, though e-books are vivid and colorful, they cannot provide the same impact as physical books to the bookworms.

To conclude, I believe that both traditional books and digital books have their own readers. Since the present generation is more technology savvy, youngsters tend to use digital books. Even though e-books have a flourishing future, physical paper books will never disappear completely.

Essay # Having more money and less free time is better than earning less money and having more free time.

September 3, 2019 IELTS Research

IELTS Writing Task Essay

Having more money and less free time is better than earning less money and having more free time.

Discuss both views and state your opinion.

SAMPLE ANSWER-

In this rapidly changing world, individuals often go through the dilemma of paying more attention to their bank accounts or having more free time for themselves. For this reason, some people compromise with higher income while some bargain with leisure time. I concur with the view that people should not negotiate with the quality of life for money.

There are a majority of people who think having abundant money is the best way to live a life. With better financial stability, they can provide a more luxurious and comfortable lifestyle to their loved ones with the cost of sacrificing their hobbies. The monetary benefits bring happiness and contentment to some people because of which they can provide quality education and health facilities to their families. Thus they prioritize it in place of dedicating that time for leisure activities.

At the same time, some believe that spending long hours on work and having no time to actually enjoy is not the right approach to life. They consider time to be a great equalizer and time spend at work cannot be purchased with money as it leads to stress and other health related problems. Living a healthier life and spending quality time with loved ones is more essential for people and many of them regret it later on in their life. Indeed, many billionaires on their death bed remarked that they wished to have more time with their families.

In my perspective, people should maintain a balanced life by giving equal time to work and personal time. They will lead a more fulfilling lifestyle if they prioritize both factors equally. Focusing just on financial stability will make one dull whereas not being productive has its own drawbacks.
