IELTS Essay Sample Answer # Effects Of Social Media

You should spend 40 minutes on this task.

Many people believe that effect of social media on both individuals and society has been negative. To what extent do you agree or disagree.

Effects-Of-Social-Media


Sample Answer:
Over a period of a decade, we have seen an advancement in the field of science and technology like never before. With the coming of the internet, several sub-branches came into existence. One of them being the social networking sites. Some people believe that websites like Instagram and facebook have had detrimental effects on the individuals as well as society. In my opinion, however, with every change, there do come the good and the bad.

In terms of individual impact, social media sites proved to be both beneficial and boon. The world has shrunk to a point where we can interact with a larger audience. For instance, a person can interact with someone living in Afghanistan over a project on facebook or skype. Even more, we have become more knowledgeable! One cannot deny the importance of youtube in our lives as an immense help in making us learn new things. However, just like anything over done do have negative impacts, people who browse facebook for simply wiling away time surely loose out on many things.

With respect to society, things surely have changed. Comparing them to the past scenario not only limits us it also allows us not to have a better approach towards changes. With the coming of social media, on one hand where people are becoming defragmented there are examples where people have joined hands towards making society a better place.

Overall, in my opinion, with every new change, there do come loopholes. As an individual, it must be our responsibility to make the best of everything present.

IELTS Essay #global language

IELTS Writing Essay

Do the advantages of having English as a global language outweigh the disadvantages?

Sample Answer:

Due to the colonization done by the British, more than half of the world started speaking English language and it has surely helped in uniting the world on a global platform. I would say the advantages of English as a global language outranks its disadvantages as a global language.

In today’s world, when people are traveling around the world for leisure, studies, work and medical treatment, understanding English language comes to an aid. It is the world’s only language which is widely spoken and understood. Standardization of the process, be it documents, maps, road signs, food menu, public transport etc. was required for the convenience of the people, this is where a universally spoken language comes handy…. ergo English. Speaking a common language in a foreign country helps you in easily adapting in a new environment, as you can relatively easily make friends, learn about the culture, find job, visit places. For a two way communication to happen successfully both the parties need to be able to understand each other and respond accordingly and this is where the language plays its crucial part of building a communication bridge.

If you are moving abroad to a new country for higher studies, you always tend to look for an English speaking country, less you are equally fluent in reading, writing, and speaking the other language like German, Cantonese, French or Russian. World’s major countries like United States of America, Russia, United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, and New Zealand are all English speaking countries, ergo moving to these countries for the purpose of work or relocating is relatively easier for a person who comes from an English moving country.
There are hardly any disadvantages that I can think of, considering English as a global language, barring just one that you get so engrossed in learning and communicating in English language that you lose touch with your own language and roots. Language is an integral part of the culture and it is what links you to it and it is what you pass on to your future generation.

I would like to conclude with the statement that English has truly become a global language which is playing a vital role in uniting the world and its advantages surely outweigh the disadvantages. (372 Words)

IELTS Writing #Professions because of their gender

Writing task 2

You should spend 40 minutes on this task.
Write about the following topic:
Men and women are commonly seen as having different strengths and weaknesses.

 

Is it right to exclude males or females from certain professions because of their gender?

 

IELTS Band7 Writing Task Professions because of their gender

Sample Answer:

It is a common notion in our society that men and women have different abilities and it is fair to exclude males or females from certain professions, simply on the basis of their gender.

I as an individual totally disagree with this viewpoint. In today’s world, everyone is capable of doing everyone’s job. Women are mastering or exceling in the so called men’s zone of expertise and vice versa. We have women winning gold medals for their countries in sporting events like wrestling, archery, marathon, gymnastics, weightlifting, body building and shooting etc. We have women astronauts of the Indian origin, late Kalpana Chawala and Sunita Williams are great examples. In the field of medicine we have Dr. S Padmavati, India’s first woman cardiologist and a national award recipient and Dr T. S. Kanaka India’s first neuro surgeon are in their late 90’s and 80’s. They not only did break the glass ceiling, these doctors also proved their mettle by having several firsts to their credit.
If we talk about armed forces, we have women fighter pilots as well in the naval and ground services. If we look into the world of corporate, we have women like Indra Nooyi Chairperson and Chief Executive Officer of PEPSICO, world’s second largest manufacturer of carbonated beverages. Ms. Bachendri Pal was India’s first female to climb the Mt. Everest.

Males like Gordon Ramsay, Rick Baker and Javed Habib have excelled in their respective fields of culinary arts and make-up artistry and hair styling, the trades which were largely dominated by females. These examples clearly prove that gender discrimination has no significance in today’s world.

To sum up, whenever designating work to someone, an individual’s skill sets should be taken into consideration and not their gender. From the experience of my own and from the knowledge I have gathered, with all due respect towards our achievers, the women of world, I say it’s totally unjustifiable and inappropriate to typecast men and women, when it comes to professional competency.

IELTS Essay Sample Questions # Foreign Language

You should spend 40 minutes on this task.

In some countries, schools have added a foreign language in the curriculum of primary schools. Do the advantage outweigh the disadvantages?

You should write at least 250 words.

SAMPLE ANSWER

We are living in a globalised world where a person sitting in India could be having a business conversation wit someone in New York or may be in China. The world has shrunk to 0s and 1s. Most schools therefore have now started offering a foreign language as a subject in primary schools.

Learning a language always helps an individual to grow faster and sharper. According to a survey, a person who knows more than one knowledge is better at taking decisions and doing multi-tasking. A foreign language in primary school syllabus will surely help students to develop their minds better and grow into smart individuals.

Even more, we often speak a language with a flair if we converse in it or have heard it over a period of time. Teaching a certain language right from the primary school can help students get a good grasp of it in the later years of life.

However, we are living in a dynamic world and what seems important now may become obsolete later on. Therefore, deciding on the language to be taught can be a tough choice. For instance, if a child learns Mandarin when young only to realise that Hindi has now become the most important language could lead to shift of attitude towards learning a language.  However, one cannot deny that a person who can learns a foreign language can learn another faster.

Overall, being able to communicate orally and in written in a foreign language is troublesome for a child in primary school. However, no matter how slower a learner is, an additional language always gives the person an added advantage in later years of life.
