SAMPLE ANSWER

Animals are a part of nature, as humans are. However, in recent times the exploitation of animals has increased, causing animals to extinct. Some people believe that humans have the rights to exploit animals for their own benefit, while others disagree.

There are several reasons for people believing that animals can be used for the benefit of mankind. Firstly, there is a common belief that humans are the highest of the species in hierarchy. This means that if by experimenting on animals we can fight and find cures for diseases, then this takes priority over animal suffering. Secondly, animals are assumed to feel no pain or suffering as humans do, and therefore to kill animals is morally acceptable.

However, some people are of the opinion, that animals are very much the part of nature as we humans are. To prove this fact, several experiments have been done on animals which clearly prove that they feel the same amount of suffering and loss as humans do. Even more, a considerable amount of research on animals are done for cosmetics, rather than diseases, so it must be avoided. Also, it has been proved that humans can get all the vitamins and minerals from green vegetables, which makes eating or exploiting animals avoidable.

Overall,  although some people argue killing animals for research and food is ethical, in my opinion, exploiting animals will extinct them and cause imbalance in nature.

SAMPLE ANSWER

Advertisements have surely become an important part of our lives. The way consumer buys a product, depends mostly on the advertising model of the company. Although, some people are of the opinion that we have become more aware and are able to take better decisions because of advertisements, others are of the opinion, a clutter has been generated because of it.

Looking at the negative impact, advertisements surely have had many. Firstly, it makes consumers buy things that may be they don’t need. For instance, a woman who sees an advertisement of a new product is more likely to buy it, even if not required. This often causes financial tensions in some cases. Secondly, often times people make fake advertisements. Like, an ad in newspaper saying eat this medicine to become slim in ten days. People tend to buy them and face the consequences.

However, ads are also helpful for the consumer. For example, an ad that tells about the effects of smoking and urges people to stop smoking, is more likely to have a broad effect. On seeing visuals, people are more likely to get affected. Secondly, it allows business people to start a business or a product. Such as, a company that opens a new line of product, can easily make people aware of it using advertisements.

Overall, advertisements, like everything, have both sides i.e. negative as well as positive. In my opinion, we need to be more smart to look through if the advertisement is real or fake.

Dieting can change a persons life for better or can ruin their health forever.

Discuss both views and give your opinion.

Write at least 250 words.

SAMPLE ANSWER

With the life style of people becoming more hectic an increasing number of people have either become overweight or obese. There are even some who want to be slim or fit as their favorite stars or modes. In all, dieting has become a notion that most people tend to do, either for short time or long period. Although some believe that dieting causes various health issues, others are of opposite opinion. According to me, it is more about being healthy than being slim.

Dieting surely has some great benefits. Firstly, it increases the life expectancy of an individual. For instance, a person who goes on a diet and eats only healthy foods surely has more years to live as they tend to have a stronger immune system. Secondly, one feels more energy when dieting. Although it might seem opposite, but eating the right foods, helps in storing energy for a longer period of time. Even more, it helps in gaining confidence. If a person’s body is fit he or she is more likely to be confident.

On the other hand, excessive dieting causes serious issues. The major threat being to health. Most people think that dieting means not eating food, rather it is about eating the right ones. So, the people who stop eating food, tend to lose on the calories required by the body to do daily activities.

To sum up, if dieting is done to reduce weight and improve overall health, it surely is advantageous but mindless dieting leads to serious threats.

Some people prefer doing the same things through out their lives and avoid changes. Others believe that change is always a good thing.

SAMPLE ANSWER

Most people struggle with change even if it is for the better. Some people are of the opinion that changes always bring positive impact on our lives while others are of the opinion that changes involve high risk and taking them can even make us fall from the place we are at. In my opinion, not all the changes are successful but we learn from the failures too. It’s a great opportunity for those who would embrace the changes and a tough time for those who don’t.

If embraced rightly, changes are very helpful. Firstly, they make a person more flexible. Changes are an integral part of our lives. Being stubborn or resistant to new things make life more stressful. Changes teach that it is good to be like fluid and go with the flow. The next best thing about change is that it makes us smarter. It is only when things change that we learn new things. For instance, it was after the creation of android phones that people started using phones excessively for playing games or doing internet.

On the other hand, changes are not always good. For instance, if a child good in studies and sports changes himself or herself to be more like a terrorist, it is not the best thing happening. Even more, frequent changes are not acceptable by old. Old people are mostly the ones who have undergone many changes through out their lives and now tend to live a more steady life doing things that they life.

Overall, changes do bring instability in ones life, which might not be good for some. However, changes if taken with positive stride mostly either teach a lesson or push us towards something better.
