IELTS Essay Sample Answer # Modern Technology

You should spend 40 minutes on this task.

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.

Discuss both sides and give your opinion.

Write at least 250 words.

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.

IELTS Writing Sample Answer # Obesity

You should spend 40 minutes on this task.

The number of people at risk of serious health problem due to overweight is increasing. 

What is the reason for the growth in overweight people in society?

What can be done to solve the issue?

Write at least 250 words.

Obesity has become a major issue in countries world wide. This has led to the increase in serious health problems among people. Although there is no one reason for the dramatic change, several factors have played their role.

One of the chief causes is diet. People these days eat more and more  high-carbohydrate, high-fat burgers and pizza in fast-food restaurants. These instead of being good for health in turn are responsible for deteriorating it. A possible solution to this could be awareness, among both people and the sellers. Steps need to be taken to tell people about the effects of excessive eating of fast food. Even more, the sellers must be given workshops to improve the quality of the food.

The second major reason for obesity is lifestyle. People now work harder and and have sedentary jobs. Moreover, they don’t exercise regularly. This worsens the situation because the body that does not works physically tends to get weaker and adapt more diseases. A way out of this issue is by bringing to notice the importance of exercise. Even more, individuals must take steps to ensure that they are doing physical work to maintain a balance lifestyle.

Overall, obesity or even being overweight has serious effects on the individual and the society. Although the problem is not out of hand and if proper steps are taken it can be reversed, it is time that both individuals and society starts working towards solving the issue.
