The given pie charts compare the consumer spending on 7 different categories in 1966 IELTS BAND7 Best Coaching

Sample Answer:
The presented pie charts depict how much proportion of money U.S.A natives had spent on seven distinct categories in two specific years 1966 and 1996.

Looking from an overall perspective, it is readily apparent that food sector was leading in the beginning of the period, whilst cars segment overtook the position after 30 years of time span.

Looking at the details, in 1966, food was the most popular category amid Americans, constituting more than two-fifths of their spending (44%). Almost half of this percentage, customers allocated on cars, making it the second highest on list. In contrast, the lowest expenditure U.S residents made was on computers, accounting at just 1%. Expenses by them on furniture and petrol were nearly one-tenth each. Books and restaurants spending stood at 6% and 7% respectively.

Moving further, after 3 decades, food sector experienced/ underwent a steep decline and amounted to 14%, whereas expenditure on cars rose substantially from 23% to 45%. Interestingly, budget for books dropped to only 1%, while the computer segment had risen dramatically to 10%. Notably, restaurants spending percentage doubled from 7% to 14%. Lastly, the figure for furniture and petrol fell down to 8%. (194 Words)

IELTS Essay: Computers will be more intelligent than human beings

October 30, 2024 IELTS Research

WRITING TASK 2 Computers will be more intelligent than human beings

You should spend 40 minutes on this task.

Write about the following topic:

Some scientists believe that very soon computers will be more intelligent than human beings. Some people think that this will be a positive development, while others worry it will have negative effects.

What are your opinions on this?

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

Write at least 250 words.

Sample Answer:

Human civilization has developed at a staggering pace in the last century. We went from not having sliced bread to being on the path to having supercomputers more powerful than we can comprehend. There is indeed a common presumptuous notion out there; that one-day computers might become ‘more intelligent than human beings’.

The amount of ignorance this specific thought conveys leaves me quite inarticulate. Firstly, computers are digital, brains are analogue. There is no conceivable way to compare these two. Computers are highly logical machines designed to perform tasks; humans are essentially a tangled mass of neurons behaving in an unpredictable manner, which births thoughts, emotions and ideas. Their core functions are polar opposites.

The issue that must be addressed is the highly misdirecting role of movies and entertainment media in presenting Artificial Intelligence as ‘self-sufficient’ and ‘intelligent’ in the manner of independent thought processing. One cannot press this enough; but machines will never aim for world domination. They have been created for one purpose and one purpose only, to aid humanity.

The world’s fastest computer averages out at 200 petaflops, the human brain has been estimated to run at one exaflop. The difference between them is akin to the earth and sky. Nonetheless, I do not doubt the gap will be closed within the next decade. However, this will just mean that supercomputers will be more efficient at the analysis tasks they perform, this will not mean that they will spontaneously decide to sprout a conscience and destroy the world in the blink of an eye. This idea is so ridiculous it has passed the point of comedic hilarity into plain oblivion and beyond even idiosyncrasy.

I refuse to even acknowledge such a possibility. Computers becoming more efficient than human processing power would be a leap in the fields of data analysis, weather prediction, space calculation, molecular modeling, natural resource exploration, etc. There is absolutely no cause for worry, fear or panic. Only further awareness on the true nature of computers and the fictionality of popular media tropes.

In conclusion, it is inevitable that computers will become more efficient. There are very little drawbacks to this save for initial job losses, the positives outweigh the negatives in all formulate-able aspects.

Comprehend	to understand something completely

Notion	a belief or idea

Misdirecting	to use something in a way that is not right or legal
Petaflops	a unit of computing speed equal to one thousand million million (10¹⁵) floating-point operations per second.
Exaflop	a billion billion calculations per second (10¹⁸)
Comedic	relating to or involving comedy
Hilarity	a situation in which people laugh very loudly and think something is very funny
Oblivion	the state of being completely forgotten
Idiosyncrasy	a strange or unusual habit, way of behaving, or feature that someone or something has
Media tropes	something such as an idea, phrase, or image that is often used by the media

IELTS Essay # Increasing no. of fast-food outlets-Causes and effects

April 29, 2024 IELTS Research

IELTS Essay of Increasing no. of fast-food outlets-Causes and effects

Nowadays, there are a large number of coffee shops and fast-food vendors on high streets and in town centres. Why are there so many of these outlets?

Sample Answer

Cafe and food stalls are the new normal in high streets and town centers, becoming the cheaper alternatives to high-end restaurants and bistros. This essay explores the reasons behind this trend and its impact on society.

One of the reasons for the increasing popularity of café and fast-food outlets is their ability to cater at quicker speeds in comparison with restaurants. This is well received by students and people from the working class who have strict schedules and short break durations. Another reason for this trend is the lower operational costs of cafés and food stalls. Majorly due to their small-scale venture, the expenses on staff salary, regular running costs, and ingredients are far less than those of restaurants.

Turning to the impacts of this phenomenon, so far it has had a positive impact on society. First and foremost, it has given people a platform to follow their passion for entrepreneurship. A case in point is that of food truck owners who do not have huge sums of money or the experience to manage a restaurant, however, they tend to become successful fast food sellers. Another important factor is that small-scale cafés and food joints support the local economy. Further, these outlets provide a wider range of food items, sometimes the same as the ones in restaurants, but at a cheaper price – an obvious benefit for consumers.

Overall, I believe that the increasing presence of small food ventures is a massive boost for their local area and their general population. It can provide newer culinary options as well as serve society through other means as well. (267 Words)

IELTS Essay #Advantages and disadvantages of space tourism

April 18, 2024 IELTS Research

IELTS Essay advantages and disadvantages of space tourism

As technology advances, travelling to space is likely to become an option for holidaymakers in the future.

What do you think are the advantages and disadvantages of space tourism?

Sample Answer

With all the technological advancements, Space Tourism can be a reality that might enhance the tourism industry worldwide and make more progress in the field of astronomy. The essay will dwell on the merits and the possible drawbacks of this development.

Beginning with the positives, the idea of space tourism might attract interest towards an already growing space sector. Since future tourists will have an opportunity to explore planets, they will be developing knowledge and creating future generation scientists that will provide more in-depth research into our cosmos. Another positive outcome can be the creation of new Job opportunities. Space pilots manoeuvre space crafts, travel guides, medical professionals and trained engineers might be some professions in the coming years, this will help combat the problems of unemployment in the very long run.

However, space tourism is an expensive endeavour and expenditure on these excursions might bankrupt some nations, especially those who are still trying to recover from the impact of colonialism, coups, and civil wars. Instead that money can be put to use for solving the pressing problems of famine, illiteracy, poverty, and poor public healthcare infrastructure. Another monumental challenge will be pollution control as rockets emit large quantities of black carbon that pollutes the air and is harmful for all the living beings as well as the environment.

To conclude, while the prospect of space travel sounds fascinating, the progress towards it should not be considered shortly, as other problems need our attention more urgently than achieving the dream of space tourism.(253 Words)
