IELTS Writing Task # Essay

The older generations tend to have very traditional ideas about how people should live, think and behave. However, some people believe that these ideas are not helpful in preparing younger generations for modern life.

To what extent do you agree or disagree with this view?

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

SAMPLE ANSWER-

The generation gap is widening at a startling rate. The younger generation taking advantage of modernization and fast moving world are neglecting the traditional values given by their ancestors. They are inclining more towards modern ideas and beliefs offered by the contemporary world. I moderately believe that traditional ideas are useful but considering them entirely impractical cannot be agreed upon.

On one hand, some beliefs of our forefathers are becoming less applicable in modern lives. In the past, people were given jobs as their birth right but in the present times, jobs are offered keeping in mind the caliber of an individual. Further to this argument, caste and gender system that was valid in the traditional times is replaced by equality rights for everyone irrespective of their caste and gender in my country. In fact, many practices like Sati system and dowry system which were considered traditional in earlier days are removed from the society for good.

On the other side, our ancestors believed in humanity and it is our duty to take forward good values and beliefs we learned from them. There are some ideas and beliefs that are even applicable in the contemporary society. Values such as honesty, hard work, helping the needy are lessons taught to us by our forefathers and they need to be carried on.

In the end, I believe that people will lead a life full of solace and peace if they follow both contemporary and conventional ideas in their day to day activities. The traditional ideas cannot be completely irrelevant as they hold some importance even today.

Essay # Some people believe that if people are allowed to work after the age of 60, it could cause problems

IELTS Writing Task # Essay

Some people believe that if people are allowed to work after the age of 60, it could cause problems. Do you agree or disagree?

SAMPLE ANSWER-

Most countries have a law that allows people to work till the age of 60. Though some people are not affected by this practice, others oppose it. As after a certain age limit, a person’s body does not allow them to work and be an efficient performer like their earlier days. I partially agree with the statement that provided that a person should be allowed to work after the age of 60 or not.

Most importantly, when a person is habitual of working, retirement can affect the mental and physical health of a person. The person feels more isolated and socially inactive due to which they lose a sense of purpose in life. Furthermore, living in today’s world is extremely costly and elderly people might not find their savings enough substantial to live a relaxed retired life. In fact, the people of Japan consider age 60 as an early age to retire.

On the other hand, some are of the opinion that people should not work after the age of 60 especially when they have worked a majority of their life. Increased workload can deteriorate the overall health after a certain age. From the economy’s point of view, if people retire at a later age it would affect the job prospects of the younger generation.

In a nutshell, people should not be forced to retire at the age of 60. They can be provided with a better option like part-time job or decreased workload if they wish to work. According to me, the quality of life is more significant than the age as there are many people in their 80s who are physically and mentally fit and are willing to work and be productive.

Essay # Many museums and historical sites are mainly visited by tourists but not local people.

IELTS Writing Task # Essay

Many museums and historical sites are mainly visited by tourists but not local people. Why this is the case and what can be done to attract more local people to visit these places?

Sample answer-

Museums and historical places around the world hold significance as they have valuable artifacts that are not available elsewhere. Though museums attract a lot of tourists, the locals do not consider local museums and historical places entertaining.

There are several reasons why local residents do not find museums interesting. First and foremost, the local habitants have been brought up in those areas and have seen the historical places of their area hence these historical places might not arouse their interests anymore. The locals prefer visiting faraway lands and exploring other historical places in comparison to the local places. The hefty entrance fee that historical museums charge may not seem feasible to the locals.

There are several actions that can be taken with the intention to appeal to the local population to visit the local museums. Primarily, community activities being organized by the museum like exhibitions and cultural events will help gain its popularity as most of these historical places are non-profit organizations. The media can also use used as a source to commercialize and promote museums at a local level. A subsidized amount of fee charged from the natives will also attract a large number of local history enthusiast to pay a visit to these historical sights.

To conclude, museums and historical landmark play a crucial role in understanding the culture and the historical background of a particular area. If the locals pay more attention to local museums, it will make them more popular on a larger scale therefore, attract more tourists. The government can also provide attractive offers to natives to visit the historical sights.

Essay # In today’s job market it is far more important to have practical skills than theoretical knowledge.

August 22, 2019 IELTS Research

IELTS Writing Task 2 # Essay

In today’s job market it is far more important to have practical skills than theoretical knowledge. In the future, job applicants may not need any formal qualifications.

To what extend do you agree or disagree?

Sample answer-

Practical skills and theoretical knowledge are two completely far-off approaches to learning. While theoretical education will help one to get a clear understanding of the fundamental concepts and how a particular mechanism works. But without practical knowledge one cannot put their efficiency into practical usage. In my opinion, in today’s job market theoretical knowledge’s importance cannot be entirely overlooked.

Formal qualifications help a person learn why and how skills are used and implemented. It is more preferable in today’s job market as without theoretical knowledge tasks cannot be performed in a job. The theory is important from a job’s point of view because it gives a deeper insight into a context. In fact, professionals like teachers, lawyers, doctors cannot execute work without formal qualifications and a degree.

On the other side, some people disagree as they think practical skills are far more important for a person’s functioning at a professional place. Certain things can only be learned through experience and performance. For instance, for a designer or an artist practical skills like creativity and innovative ideas that they gain with training is more beneficial that theory. Similarly, there are many people who were college drop-outs but presently they are doing wonders in their lives.

In the end, theoretical knowledge and practical skills are interconnected as they complement each other. Therefore, though practical skills are given more weightage in the job market these days, formal qualifications should not be denied as it helps make an individual’s future career more prosperous.
