IELTS Writing Task 2 Essay: Researching and treating diseases is too costly so it would be better to invest in preventive measures.

Prevention is better than cure. Researching and treating diseases is too costly so it would be better to invest in preventive measures.
To what extent do you agree or disagree?
SAMPLE ANSWER

Prevention and cure are two different concepts that are intertwined. Prevention from diseases is considered better than cure because it saves us from the problems of curing through medicines. Today the cost of research and treatment of many diseases is skyrocketing. Hence, in my opinion, prevention is always better than cure. The concept of cure should always be given less importance than prevention, as the latter is cheaper, better, and more convenient to implement.

This idea teaches us to be careful at all times. This should be followed in order to keep any problems at bay and maintain a healthy body at all times. Research and treatments for ailments might be advancing at a good pace, but they have their own limitations. Without prevention, these ailments can grow bigger and exponentially so. There may come a point where even the best cure has a possibility of failing.

Furthermore, being healthy is any day better than being sick, as it takes a toll on one’s body. Cures may accelerate repair and growth of the body and its functions, but such damages are never fully recoverable. Ailments of any kind may be able to disrupt our lives in different aspects. People now understand cure as a key to a healthy life with room for negligence and rash lifestyle. Prevention requires efforts, and people in today’s world have become lethargic in this context. However, we need to focus more and engage resources on the idea of prevention rather than utilizing multifold resources on a cure.

Writing task 2 Essay: Some people believe teenagers should focus on all subjects equally, while others think that they should concentrate only those subjects that they find interesting.

Writing task 2

Some people believe teenagers should focus on all subjects equally, whereas other people think that they should concentrate only those subjects that they find interesting. Discuss both the views and provide your opinion.

Sample answer

Our education system has evolved in the past few years. Teenagers go to schools to gain knowledge on a variety of subjects. This idea is controversial and people opine differently. Some people say that students should have the freedom to study the subjects of their choice, whereas others say that equal attention to all the subjects is beneficial. In my opinion, teenagers should learn all the subjects and gain knowledge about each and every discipline in their curriculum.

On one hand, high school curriculum is tailored to teach important subjects such as mathematics, science, English, history, and geography. These act as a foundation for future career applications. Not only are they designed to provide knowledge, but also allow the students to select the subjects that they might wish to take up for higher studies and career opportunities. Moreover, teenagers are not capable enough to make the best decision pertaining to one particular subject that they would want to study in the foreseeable future.

On the other hand, if a student wishes to be selective, it might be beneficial as well. This would let him ensure undivided focus on his choice of subjects and help him build a sound foundation during the formative years. This would provide students with more time and resources to spend on comparatively lesser and more interesting subjects, leading to better results.

According to me, the option of studying all the subjects enables the students to keep their options open and possibly widen their range of interests. To conclude, I would say that it is best for them to study all the subjects and figure out a particular stream or subject at a later stage in life, preferably during higher studies.

Sample Answer

We all have a lot of things that we share with others at a certain point in time. Sharing is a very good habit that shows emotion and care for others. It not only helps people but also creates a bond between individuals.

I remember one such incident wherein I shared my motorcycle during my graduation college days. I was in the second year of my college degree, and I had made a very good friend named Smith. He was my neighbor and was pursuing another degree from the same college. I had just purchased a new motorcycle to make my commuting easier as I lived a bit far from the college premises.

One evening when Smith and I were having dinner together, he told me about his issue of early morning classes. It was a problem as there was no public transport in our locality during that time of the morning. I then solved his problem by offering to share my motorcycle with him. He was very happy and thanked me a lot. It was almost for the next six months that we both shared my bike to go for our respective classes, and it was a great experience knowing that I was able to help a friend by sharing something of mine. I understand myself to be a caring person and tend to share my personal belongings with my near and dear ones from time to time.

Water is the basic necessity of life. One cannot imagine life without water and neither can one think of drinking bad water! With all forms of life surviving on water, the body loses it through breathing, sweating, and digestion, which is why it is so important to rehydrate by drinking fluids and eating foods that contain water. The body uses water in all its cells, organs and tissues to help regulate the temperature and maintain the other bodily functions. This time we are looking at some recent questions asked in the IELTS speaking test asked in 2018 in some country.

Q. Do you drink tap water or bottled water?

A. I live in an area that is near to the ocean and so tap water that we get is full of chlorine and has a saline taste as well. Therefore I prefer bottled water or purified water.

Q. Is it affordable? Why?

A. Drinking bottled water is very much affordable in our country because it is available across all the main street corners at a cheap price. Most sellers have water purification machines and such setups installed in their shops and generate the purified water which further is sold through water bottles.

Q. Do you think people should drink from a good bottle of water? Why?

A. Definitely. Water is the basic necessity of life and one cannot deny the importance of it our lives. Drinking water from a good bottle helps an individual not only benefit in health but also in life. Drinking water from a quality bottle helps in avoiding harmful chemicals or other foreign elements.

Q. Have you ever been in a situation where you were thirsty and there was nothing available to drink?

A. So many times, it has happened that I have felt thirst down my spine but did not have anything to drink. Once, I was traveling to Bengaluru and the bus broke down near the mid-way. There were no shops around and I could not find anything to drink or eat. It was only when the bus started and took us to the next place with shops, that I could drink some water.
