Sample Answer

Cybercrime is an ever-growing problem today, as so many people use various forms of technology to store and transmit sensitive data. These crimes present a number of problems and people are getting more concerned about them. In this essay, I will discuss the issues and discuss the measures as to how we can tackle them.
Firstly, cyber crimes are mostly money oriented. They have huge financial impacts on banks and insurance companies. An individual whose bank account details have been compromised is due a full refund for the amount affected according to the monetary laws of U.S section 181. Furthermore, the money stolen could be used for funding other crimes like terrorism and drug trafficking. The stress caused by these crimes could be gruesome. Individuals who are affected will need to cope up with various issues and fill in loads of paperwork to get their money back. Moreover, it may take weeks or even months before the funds are allocated back to them
To speak of solutions, the most important thing is to improve security. This can be done by educating people of the causes of cyber crime and providing appropriate measures such as using strong passwords and checking for website’s authentication before filling in your bank details. Stringent laws should be put in place and a universal governing body for the same should be set up as to put everybody under the same set of laws. Most of the crimes committed online are traced to different parts of the world. With more strict policies, criminals will be worrisome of their actions and won’t be able to hide behind the barrier of international borders.
In the end, cyber crime is growing at an alarming rate and the problems caused by it are both financial and social. Governments, individuals and corporations should co-ordinate with each other to prevent any further damages. (310 Words)

IELTS Essay # Is saving more important than spending ?

It is better to save money than to spend it.
How far do you agree with this statement?
Is saving more important than spending in today’s world?
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

With the world in such economic chaos, many of us face difficult choices in managing our money. Personally, I prefer savings to high spending and I will give my reasons in the following paragraphs.
Firstly, saving money is a sensible precaution in a world where the future is uncertain. It is possible that a person might meet unemployment, serious health issues or other financial crises at some point in life. Therefore, it is essential to have some money put aside for these situations. Certainly, saving is the only way most people can achieve this. Furthermore, I believe that saving is itself a useful discipline for one to develop, as it builds the skills of planning and reaching targets. We can see that in this way disciplined people build up quite large sums through small monthly contributions. In many cases this money meets important objectives in their lives, including large purchases such as cars or property.
Finally, when there is an imbalance between savings and spending of the people, the whole world is indirectly affected. The economic downturn of 2008 was a result of this negligence. The crisis was caused by over spending and not enough savings. Individuals, Multi National corporations and even governments too are to be blamed for this financial turmoil. I feel that an emphasis on sensible saving should be a universal strategy to avoid the recurrence of such events in the near future.
I do appreciate the fact that some people think differently, saying that it is better to live for the moment and spend accordingly. While some daily spending is essential, of course, I feel this is a potentially unwise viewpoint, especially considering recent global events.
To conclude, I believe that saving is the wiser choice, not just for financial but also for personal and political reasons. Sensible saving is an invaluable skill and a help against uncertainty.(311)

IELTS Essay #Financial support to creative artists

You should spend about 40 minutes on this task. Write at least 250 words.
Some people think that governments should give financial support to creative artists such as painters and musicians. Others believe that creative artists should be funded by alternative sources. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

IELTS ESSAY #FINANCIAL SUPPORT TO CREATIVE ARTISTS, IELTSBAND7 DEHRADUN

Sample Answer

Artists are considered to be a national treasure as they help countries preserve and promote local culture. They also help in putting countries on the global map. Their source of funding is often argued on and some people think that creative artists should be financially backed by the government while others believe they should be funded by different medians. In the following paragraphs, I will discuss both sides and put forth my viewpoints.
Firstly, artists take time to develop their creations and they should be given time and money to nurture their skills. In this way they will be able to create their best piece of art. Moreover, they will not deviate from their field due to financial constraints and will be given ample amount of time to come up with their best work. Secondly, if the artists become successful, governments are able to generate huge revenues from their prized arts. Their work can be exhibited in national museums or their music can be copyrighted and sold via different music streaming websites. There are many clear examples of governments supporting artist and musicians. In my country, M.F Hussain produced his first well known painting at the age of 57. Had he not been supported till then, the world will never have known of his artworks.
On the other hand, artwork cannot fulfil the basic needs of people. Governments should be able to provide basic necessities of life to all its citizens before sponsoring art and culture. In many developing parts of the world, providing food and housing are still considered to be the primary objectives of the governments. Moreover, already having secured a funding, an artist might lose his zeal to succeed in life and may never be able to create his/her best form of art. Some of the best works of art are inspired by tough times.
To sum up, there are valid opinions on both sides. However, I feel that artists are those who can produce a work that not only transcends the mundane but also uplifts the viewer. There are clear differences between an artist and an ordinary person. Therefore, supporting artists is paramount in today’s time. (360 Words)

IELTS Essay # Health and fitness is decreasing

You should spend about 40 minutes on this task. Write at least 250 words. Write on the following topic:

In some countries the average weight of people is increasing and their level of health and fitness is decreasing. What do you think are the causes of these problems and what measures could be taken to solve them?

IELTS-ESSAY-#-HEALTH-AND-FITNESS-IS-DECREASING,-IELTSBAND7,-DEHRADUN

Sample Answer

All countries across the globe are witnessing a substantial increase in the weight of their citizens. Declining health and fitness levels are becoming a matter of concern. In this essay, I will discuss the reasons behind this problem and discuss a few measures that can be taken to address this issue.
In earlier days, people used to carry out their daily tasks themselves therefore, had better fitness levels. The current generation, on the other hand, follows an inactive and sedentary lifestyle. In my view, this change in the lifestyle is the major cause of the problem. In addition, people these days prefer to use different forms of transportation, rather than walking as it is more convenient and is less time consuming.
Furthermore, physical activities such as running, cycling etc have become less common and more of a hobby. Another major reason is the change in the eating habits. Today’s generation prefers to have unhealthy and fatty fast food over a proper nutritious meal. The rapid rise in the popularity of fast food joints such as Mc Donalds, KFC, Burger king etc is a telling example of how people ignore their health and well being just to satisfy their taste buds.
To recommend a few ways, the government should advertise the harmful effects of junk food and impose heavy taxes on the sale of fast food. Bicycle stands and separate cycle lanes should be constructed in different parts of every city across the globe to promote cycling. The governing bodies and local councils should encourage people to use bicycles as it is less harmful and it has health benefits too .Research has shown that such initiatives are very successful. Amsterdam is an ideal example of such a city that has integrated cycling as a major mode of transport for its inhabitants. Due to these measures less than 10 percent of its population is obese.
To sum up, the sedentary and inactive lifestyle of today’s youth and poor diet are the major reasons as to why, people are not as fit as they used to be. The need of the hour is to run advertisements about fitness and make people aware about the ill effects of obesity. (365 Words)
