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.

SAMPLE ANSWER

Learning is an ongoing process. The one who stops learning is the one who gets old. Some people believe that to learn it is very important to have a teacher, whereas others are of the opinion that one does not requires a teacher to learn something. In my opinion, teacher plays a very important role in learning during early stage, however with time, one can learn  things on his/her own.

Teachers surely play a crucial role in the process of learning. Firstly, a teacher has adequate knowledge to make subjects easier for the students and also teach them in a more effective way. For instance, a particular student might be weak in some subjects but a teacher makes learning the subject more fun and teaching them according to their mental capacity. Even more, some children can learn better in groups. A class proves beneficial for such students as it provides them with the point of view of many others.

On the other hand, with the coming of technology, many universities provide online courses such that students can learn varied topics on their own. This has proved as a boon for those who are too shy to attend classes because of their age or are not able to pay the tuition fee. Even more, learning things by oneself often provides students with more knowledge as compared to one imparted by teachers.

Overall, in my opinion, teachers role in the younger years of learning can never be taken away, however, self learning is a more effective way of learning in the later years of life.

Some people think that schools should admit students on the basis of their academic abilities, while others are of the opinion that schools must allow students of different cadre to sit together and learn.

Discuss both views and state your opinion.

SAMPLE ANSWER

Schools are the learning place for students, a place where they develop new skills and improve on their already existing skills. However, there are opinions that schools must give admissions to students on the basis of their academic accomplishments while some are of the belief that mixed ability classes are more beneficial for development of children. In my opinion, mixed classes are more beneficial then classified classes.

Admittedly, streaming students is more beneficial to students as well as teachers. For teachers, separating students facilitates effective teaching as all the students sitting are on their toes to learn new topics. Even more, students can learn difficult topics and teachers can go ahead with providing in depth knowledge to students.

However, it is mixed classes that the all round development of a child takes place. It is because a mixed class tend to have the best academic student as well as the best football player. Interaction between these two students will help both of them, to improve on a facet that they are weak in. Even more, a streamed class tends to create the feeling in minds of students that they are less or more than others. This feeling in young minds is not a healthy approach in their upbringing.

Overall, streamed classes are beneficial for students who are interested in merely studies and also help teachers to provide effective teaching. However, in my opinion, it is in mixed classes versatile development of a child takes place, helping him/her in later years of life.

Many children these days spend their time using modern technology instead of reading books. While some people think that it is a positive trend, others believe that it is a problem.

Technology has changed the way the world operates, including even the education system. Gone are the days when students read books and interacted with teachers to clear their doubts. In present times, every information is just a click away. Although some people believe that the use of modern technology deteriorates the education, others believe it is a creative method of improving it.

Technology, especially internet, has had a positive impact on people. With the world class universities, such as Harvard and Stanford providing free online courses, many people have started availing them and benefiting through them. For instance, children living in developing or poor nations who don’t have access to better  education can improve their skills using the online courses. Even more, getting an information has become lot more easier. Instead of scribbling through books, one can get the solution of a problem directly and easily.

Although technology has made our lives easier, it also comes with its own issues. The major problem being that students easily lose their focus when studying from internet. Example- a person who is reading something from internet can very easily open facebook and lose focus. Even more, although gaining information from books is time consuming but often students grasp more knowledge as compared to a solving a mere doubt.

Overall, technology has surely made understanding easier and even  opened new doors of learning. However, reading from books makes grasping knowledge more intimating. In my opinion, it is the middle way between technology and the conventional method of books that will help the students.
