OVERCOME ANXIETY WHILE SPEAKING

If English is a second language to you, you may feel anxious, especially when the person you are talking to is a native speaker. How to remove this anxiety speaking? But what is anxiety? The feelings that you get when your heart starts beating faster or you start to shake. You may feel nervous. This is anxiety. So, what should you do to get rid of this? Well, you can always follow the tips given below, but remember; just knowing what you should do is not enough. You need to actually inculcate them in your daily life to fight anxiety.

1.Breathe-:Take a deep breath whenever you feel anxious. There are times when you are surrounded by people and you won’t like to do it. But, even in those times, try taking deep breathe; just make sure they don’t see you doing this. The heart that is beating fast calms down when you breathe. So, breathe when you feel anxious.
2.Walk-: Whenever you feel anxious, may be before a presentation or a meeting, take small walk. May be around your room. It can actually calm you down. By walking I don’t mean that you need to take hours of walk just to improve your speaking.

3.Automate language-: You must have heard the old adage,” practice makes perfect”. Automate language means exactly that. When you practice something again and again, your brain starts doing it automatically for you. So, practice English. Practice the expressions, practice more till you start doing it automatically.

4.You need not to be perfect-: When you hear a native speaker, some of you may say wow, they speak so well. But the fact is they make a lot of mistakes. Mistakes in terms of grammar or vocabulary. No one is there to judge you harshly. It is okay to make mistakes as long as you are ready to rectify them or learn from them. Remember, you cannot be perfect on day 1.
5.Mantras-: Mantras are the words you say to yourself. For example, you could have a mantra like;” I am a good speaker”. So whenever you make mistake, say it to yourself. Repeat it again. Language is a powerful tool. You become what you say to yourself, because after all that is what you think. Speak positive to you, even in the times of negativity. Speak positive. Keep the flame of hope burning.
Anxiety is just a problem, and like all other problems it also has a solution. Solve it and live your dream.

IELTS Essay # Homeless People

You should spend 40 minutes on this task.
There has been an increase in the number of homeless people all around the world.
What are the causes of it?
You should write at least 250 words.

SAMPLE ANSWER

Home is the one place everyone wants to go after a long tired journey, be the journey of everyday office or of something as exciting as going on a world tour. But, there are so many people all around the world that are deprived of a beautiful comfortable home. There are people who need to live in sheds across the the roads and even worse some don’t even have that.

Many people across the world have left their homes in search of jobs in different parts of the country or world. While it is easy to leave the house, it is not very easy to get a job, leaving people homeless and jobless. There are even some children who shed away their responsibility of parents and send them to home shelters. These people are not only deprived of the love and care they deserve when they get old but also of the home they have built in their lives.

HOMELESS PEOPLE

Even more, there has been an increase in the crime rate all over the world. With the number of children being kidnapped all over the world, they are being forced into beggary or prostitution, taking away their home and beautiful life. In addition, with wars happening around the world, there are so many people who lose their accommodation and have to live in the refugee camps before any country accepts them. Sometimes this wait is only for some years while other times it extends to life time. Other factors such as natural calamities also play a role in taking away the homes.

Overall, surely there has been an increase in the number of people losing their accommodation. It not only causes them physical pain but as well mental agony. In my opinion, the government should surely take initiatives to ensure that more and more people have stable homes to live in. (312 Words)

Hints: Reasons for Homeless People

  1. There are people who are not able to afford a good home because of their limited income. As a result they are not able to access affordable housing and heath support.
  2. There are people in the world that are facing discrimination. As a result, even though they have the money, people are not ready to give them home, leaving them homeless.
  3. There has been an increase in the population over the past decade. Although the population has increased, the land remains the same. As a result, not much land is available to build houses, leaving people homeless.
  4. Other factors that are responsible for leaving people homeless could be – natural disasters, loss of job, family issues.

IELTS Essay Sample Answer # Basis Of Salary

You should spend 40 minutes on this task.

Salary should be given on the basis of skill set not experience.
Do you agree or disagree with the statement?

Write at least 250 words.

SAMPLE ANSWER – AGREE

Money is one of the most important factor that comes into foreplay when people decide the job that they will take. Some people believe that it is the experience that counts more than the skill sets and person should be given salary on the basis of it. While others are of the opinion that experience surely is important however skill set is what should be the basis of salary. In my view point, the importance of experience cannot be denied but the basis of salary should be the skill sets.

It might be possible that a person has been working for the pst few years on a particular technology but often it has been seen that merely sitting and working does not gives the in depth knowledge of the concepts. People who work do get to know ho work is done but the basic concepts often get deprived. Hence, it cannot be said that just because a person was working for n number of years on it, they are likely to know more from someone who has the in-depth theoretical knowledge of the subject.

Even more, a person who has the right skill set for a particular job can always do the same task in a better way. For example, a labour has an experience of building houses for years but he can never replace the architect, because an architect is more skilled than a labour. An experienced person knows how to do things they way they are told, but a person with right skill set knows how to do things the right way.

Overall, in my opinion, experience surely is important but it cannot outweigh the person who has the perfect skill set.

SAMPLE ANSWER – DISAGREE

Money is one of the most important factor that comes into foreplay when people decide the job that they will take. Some people believe that it is the experience that counts more than the skill sets and person should be given salary on the basis of it. While others are of the opinion that experience surely is important however skill set is what should be the basis of salary. In my view point, skill set is necessary to do things correctly but it is always experience that allows an individual to take correct decision.

A person who has worked on real life scenarios knows how to solve a problem practically rather than theoretically. For example, someone who has studied from the best law school is likely to know less about law than a person who has an experience of dealing with situation in the court. A person with experience moves ahead of the stringent rules written in the book and knows how to make things work.

Even more, often what gets written in the books is way to back of what is actually being done in the production. So, a person who knows the work is more likely to solve the issues than merely someone who has got the skills to do the work.

Overall, in my opinion, skills surely are important to do things because they teach how to do things in a different manner. However, it is experience that teaches how to make things happen beyond the stringent rules written in books.

IELTS Essay Sample Answer # Salary Difference

You should spend 40 minutes on this task.

 

 

There are certain jobs that pay more while others that pay less even though the amount of effort remains the same.

 

Discuss.

 

 

You should write at least 250 words.

SAMPLE ANSWER

Money is one factor that plays a very important role when choosing a job. But, there are even some who choose a job because of the passion they have for doing it. However, one cannot change the way a person chooses a job, there have been voices raised that certain set of jobs are given more priority than others, even though the amount of effort is done is equal.

The money a person gets in exchange for the work that they do, in present times depends on how much it impacts the economy of a country. So, for example, a businessman is more likely to earn more than for instance a superstar. Because a company that is succeeding is likely to help the government in solving issues.

Likewise, a housewife is not paid at all whereas someone who is working 12 hours in an IT industry is more likely to get more than 4 lacs per annum. In my opinion, there are certain issues that need to be taken care of because the government believes that they are doing more for the economy of the country.

However, in my opinion, people with better skill sets should be given more salary it should be taken care that the others who are doing work, maybe not directly affecting an economy, should get satisfactory income.

Overall, salary is surely directly proportional to kind of skill sets an individual has and the kind of work he or she does. But, it should be made sure that everyone gets at least a minimum satisfactory income.

REASONS

  1. Someone who has more knowledge can achieve more in the same time or even more with the same effort than someone who is not very skilled.
  2. Certain jobs like business and sports especially cricket are very famous and do give more money. With sports ,it should be made sure that every sportsman gets equal treatment in the country, but for jobs like the business and acting there cannot be very much of comparison because the former surely requires more responsibility.
  3. Salary an individual gets is dependent on the kind of money the work he or she does gives back to the government. If the share is more they are more likely to earn more.
  4. Often money earned is taken as the only factor when deciding the salary. However, jobs like teachers that may not directly impact the economy make sure that the economy rises in future. If the country does not have good teachers it is more likely to fall down.
  5. Even more, jobs like housewife are not considered much as they should be. Because it is only when a woman decides to be a housewife that a man is able to go out and work properly and the children are able to get the best of education.
  6. Salary is dependent on the popularity of work that a person does, so it is more like fame. Like, Virat Kohli is more likely to earn better off than many of the national award winners because of the kind of sport that he plays.
