IELTS Writing Task-2 Essay

Some people are watching television for long periods of the day. Give reasons why they do this and suggest what should be done to encourage them to have a more active lifestyle.

Sample Answer

It has been observed that people are more inclined towards watching television these days. There are many reasons behind developing this habit among people. It has become a serious problem in society. However, few things can be taken to present the adverse effect of this problem.

Nowadays, stress has become a part of everyone’s life. Not to speak of working professionals, even students are also not untouched by this feeling. To release this stress, everyone needs some activity. Television is the best option they find to get entertained. Secondly, women who do not work outside their homes, for them television is a great source to pass their leisure time. Moreover, higher competition amongst satellite channels has resulted in different categories of programmes that attract all age group of people. These days, there are separate channels for entertainment, news, sports, music and sports. These options keep them glued to the screen.

There are few suggestions to resolve this problem. Firstly, one should try to generate new hobbies so that they can utilize their time in some fruitful activities instead of being inactive. Further, people can set some rules in family, for instance, every member should talk to each other and discuss how they spend their days. This custom will not only help them to share their feelings with other members but also family support is going to strengthen them to cope with day-to-day life stress. Finally, those who spend maximum time at home, they can be the part of any social or cultural group where they can indulge in creative activities like painting, music and arts and crafts.

To conclude, though it is true that people are spending more time in front of television. I assert that by implementing the above mentioned suggestions, people can change their lifestyles from sedentary to more active.

IELTS Writing Task: Organise extra classes for their children

April 18, 2019 IELTS Research

IELTS Writing Task: Extra Classes for Children

Many parents today organise extra classes for their children after school and at the weekends. Do you feel that this is a worthwhile thing to do? Or do you feel children have enough education at school?
Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own experience or knowledge.

Sample Answer

Nowadays, many parents arrange private tuitions for their children outside the school as they consider that this practice will help their kids to cope with immense education pressure. Not to speak of only parents who are keen to provide extra classes after school hours to their kids, even, schools are also transforming into a full-day study centre. In my views, this practice is causing unnecessary burden on kids.

From last many years education sector has emerged a lot, most schools are not just educated children in the science, languages and mathematics. They concentrate on holistic development of children. Every now and then there are seminars, competitions and extra classes as well as special attention to be given to all the students. These extra-curricular activities always provide great help to students. Additionally, there is a cut throat competition among all the schools to hold the number one position in their city, therefore, they do not leave any stone unturned. They do not show any loop hole in their education system.

However, in some schools due to large number of pupils, teachers are unable to concentrate on each and every student and this search end up by getting additional help from outside. What is more, extra tuitions are always beneficial for weaker students who find it hard to grasp everything related to vast subjects with deeper knowledge in schools. In these cases extra help provided to them after school hours work as boon for them.

To conclude, in few cases children can be benefitted by getting this extra help, studying after school hours, should be encouraged among them. However, pressurising students unnecessarily to get into studies all day is not an ideal idea.

IELTS Essay : Do prisons work ?

March 26, 2019 IELTS Research

Writing task 2

You should spend 40 minutes on this task.

Write about the following topic:

In many places, prisons are overcrowded and expensive for governments to maintain. Yet, when offenders are released, they end up back in prison a short while later.

Do prisons work?

Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant example from your own knowledge or experience.

Write at least 250 words.

Sample Answer

Imprisonment is one of the most common forms of punishment in several parts of the world. However, the effectiveness of this system has been in question for a long time! A high percentage of prisoners relapse into crime once they are released into the community. In my view, sentencing criminals to time in prison fails in most cases and in this essay I will explain why.

Firstly, offenders enjoy a comfortable life in prisons. Many of them have access to luxuries such as televisions, mobile phones, free internet and sport facilities etc. In other words, instead of being a place where lawbreakers should learn a life lesson, prisons become holiday camps. If the penal system really expects prisons to act as a deterrent, then I think it should be tougher.

Secondly, separation from society is not the solution of problem for most offenders. Take pickpockets and shoplifters as examples. Keeping these petty criminals in the same cells as rapists, murderers or violent criminals actually worsens the situation. This is because after serving their time in prisons, juvenile and minor offenders often turn into habitual and professional criminals. Sadly, governments and tax payers have to bear the cost of keeping these recidivists (= a criminal who continues to commit crimes even after they have been punished) in jails. I think punishing them through fines, community service or other non-custodial means etc. is a better option.

To conclude, I do understand that criminals who pose a threat to society cannot be allowed to roam freely. For such people, imprisonment is necessary. But, for other offences prison is not the answer. In my view, the severity of the crime committed should be taken into consideration before deciding on the punishment.

Give reasons for your answer, and provide ideas and examples from your own. You should spend about 40 minutes on this task. Write at least 250 words.

Sample Answer

These days, moving out to another place for pursuing higher education has become a common trend. It poses a dilemma before the majority of us. In my opinion the latter is far more favorable as it opens one up to a wide range of prospects. This essay will talk about the reasons to support my agreement.

There are innumerable cases wherein people from rural areas with simple personalities have been molded into dynamic thinkers and problem solvers. There have been many people including various famous personalities who gained sophistication and were transformed after living away from their homes, on their own. This genuinely proves how a student living away from home can or has to transform himself. Keeping in mind situations when no one else is around to offer direct unconditional help as parents do.

In addition to this, when students need to spread their wings to soar in the sky of successes and failures, they need to go out and get their own experiences. They need to understand the world for themselves while managing their limited finances. This first-hand experience teaches them about tackling different situations and grappling with all sorts of challenges with dexterity. This falsifies the apprehensions and hypothetical worries of their parents about them. As a matter of fact, this is possible only if they get an opportunity to live on their own away from the patronizing home atmosphere.

Finally, students living with parents owing to lack of finances may be, or any other reason whatsoever, might not get such an opportunity. But in such cases, they always have other ways to achieve a wholesome personality development. To sum it up, it is highly necessary to stay away from one’s home during the course of higher education, as of course, it is the base to their future, especially, professional life.
