You should spend 40 minutes on this task.

Write about the following topic:

An increasing number of professionals, such as doctors and teachers, are leaving their own poorer countries to work in developed countries. What are the reasons behind this trend? What solutions can you suggest to deal with this situation?

Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant example from your own knowledge.
Write at least 250 words.

Sample Answer:

Many developing countries in the world today are facing the issue of professionals migrating to other developed countries in search of better employment opportunities. This essay will help reflect on the causes of the situation and suggest possible ways to deal with this problem.

There are many reasons that have led to this scenario. The first and foremost one is the lack of professional opportunity in poor countries. increasing number of new graduates places pressure on the job market, which makes job-searching a very major task. Another factor behind this problem is salary. The income is not at par with the dedication and effort one puts in a job. Further, the working environment does not cater to the needs of the intellectuals. For these reasons, competent individuals prefer to leave their motherland and shift outside the country.

Taking into consideration all the causes, measures to stop brain draining can be constructively structured. The labor market needs to be expanded to create more job opportunities. Furthermore, extra pay or promotions can also help retain the talent. Lastly, it is important to construct a professional working environment which can help the skilful employees to develop their own capability.

Hence, it is pretty clear that there are obvious reasons encouraging the brain capital flight in developing countries. However, I understand that if proper steps are implemented, we will be able to tackle the problem and help solve it for a better future.

IELTS ESSAY: Are E-Books Good?

Writing task 2 : IELTS Essay: Are E-Books Good ?

 

You should spend 40 minutes on this task.

 

Write about the following topic:

With the rise of e-books comes the decline in paper books. Some people see this as a good step forward while others do not. What are the advantages and disadvantages of this trend?

 

Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant example from your own knowledge or experience.
Write at least 250 words.

Sample Answer:

The advancement in technology in the recent years has witnessed a serious decline in paper book sales. More and more readers today have switched on to the digital platform to pursue their reading habits. Slowly the old trend of people seen holding books is quickly replaced by the lazy heads sticking to their LED screens. This transformation has its own benefits and drawbacks. I will look at both the sides of the tale in this essay.

Firstly, with the rise of e-books it has been comparatively easier for the reader to find and use books at a more comfortable pace. This also facilitates choosing of the books as per the needs of the reader according to the genre, author, language, etc. The leisure reading becomes favourable like never before when we could read our desired books whenever and wherever we want with any preferred gadget. It is also financially feasible as sometimes people cannot afford buying so many books regularly, which is now solved with the discovery of e-books because all of the data stored on the internet is free of charge. On the whole, e-books serve majorly to inculcate reading culture around the world.

However there are various drawbacks to the above discussed space. To start with, the availability of free books on the internet doesn’t account for the value it has received from people. Adding to that, it is worth mentioning that e-books seriously damage eyesight and also cause other possible visual defects. Further, e-books also affect the printing industry massively.

As per the above arguments, I conclude that e-books has both pros and cons. However, it is my firm belief that it is an inevitable trend given development of the reading industry.

 

IELTS Speaking Sample Questions # Accommodation


The place that we live in is the most important thing in our life. The people we surround ourselves with talk about our lives and make an impact on us. This time we are looking at IELTS speaking questions where we talk about the accommodation a person is living in.

Tell me about the accommodation you live in.

I live in a one BHK flat on shared basis. The house has two rooms along with a kitchen, and a garden. The house also has two elderly people living along with a family living upstairs. We share a nice comarade with all the people living in our home and it is really beautiful. The office that I live in is a walk away from the house and save a lot of commute time.

How long have you lived there?

It has been more than a year since I shifted to the new place that I currently live in. Before that, I had been living in a two bhk flat.

What do you like about living there?

The best part about living here is that I get to live with a lesser number of people. I can do almost everything that I wish for and do it on my own terms. Being a 23-year-old girl, I believe to be able to know what is the best for me has been the best decision I have made. I get to decide what comes in my house and what stays, also what is no longer required. Living in the house has given a lot of independence to me which I cherish.

What sort of accommodation would you most like to live in?

I would have loved living in a penthouse. There could nothing be more beautiful than living in one but there are even moments, I feel as if living with my family members at my home, even though it is small would also make sense to me.

IELTS Speaking Sample Questions # Hometown

Hometown is the one word that brings sparkles into the minds of people. If you are living far off from your parents the mere name of the place brings so much joy to you. But, what is a hometown? For most people, it is the place they grew up in, for some it is the place they like themselves to be associated with, for some it was their current location, while for some it was nothing. This time in our IELTS Speaking section we are looking at the common question about hometown.

Let us talk about your hometown or village.

What kind of place is it?

My hometown is Dehradun, which is a small city yet the capital of Uttrakhand, a state in the northern part of our country. It is both traditional and modern because of the several festivals that are celebrated by the locals and modern with the new infrastructure being developed by the government. With it being the center for most of the tourist coming it has become the tourist capital of Uttrakhand. With increasing number of infrastructure and establishment, it is becoming on par with the modern cities of our country.

What is the most interesting part of your town or village?

There are many things that I love about my hometown, but the most interesting thing is that the entire city is in circles. You can never get lost in the city, maybe because it is small. There is a different kind of stalls all around the city, one can go and find the most elite of the things as well as cherish the local foods. I think what makes my hometown special is is the fact that you can find a mixed bag of people. With it having a lot of educational institutes, students from across the country come over to study and their innocence and different backgrounds, make it worthwhile.

What kind of jobs do the people in your town or village do?

Most people in my town are either into education industry or bankers. Being the education hub, one can find the elite schools of our country, like Doon, Welhems in the city. There are various other government schools as well and people mostly work in there. However, there are some people who do freelancing and others who have found their calling in the travel industry.

Would you say it is a good place to live in? Why?

If someone is looking for a well-settled life with less of juggling and more of peace, I would suggest my town to the person. With places like Mussoorie near to Dehradun, one can find easy escapades from the place. Even more, there is less of commute required in the place and that saves a lot of time. The weather is beautiful with a lot of rains and sometimes snow. One can find the basic necessities along with a comfortable life.
