SAMPLE ANSWER

In present times, television has found its place in our lives. One cannot imagine a house without a television, especially the one connected to satellite. From times when it offered two channels, we are now in an era where we are caught in the stampede of different channels.. Although television has had an impact on all, it leaves a great impression on the minds of children.

Let us begin by looking at the advantages of television on the lives of children. One of the main positives of watching television is that the horizons of a child get expanded. For instance, a ten or below year child watching discovery channel or history channel or for that case any of the knowledgeable channels, gains more knowledge than his/her peers reading books.

Secondly, even though a child often prefers cartoons, there are many cartoons where one learns great things and even more the imagination of the child is improved. Take doraemon for example. Every episode of this show teaches either moral or scientific things. When the character of the show gets beaten up for lying, the child understands that he/she must not lie.

Turning to the other side of the argument, uncontrolled television is a major problem. In a study it was seen that a child watching more than one hour of television daily tends to be more aggressive than the one who watches less of TV. Even more a child seeing the fights or other aggressive shows, could try to imitate them and get himself/herself hurt.

Another issue is that, more than often a child gets attracted to the lives of television stars that they end up watching it for hours. This not only has negative impact on their health but also distracts them from their studies.

To sum up, television is like a weapon. One can either use it to protect or harm oneself. Personally, I believe television is watched under the strict guidance can prove to be a boon for the child.

Career Change # Essay For IELTS

You should spend 40 minutes on this task.

Write about the following topic:

These days, people work in more than one job, and often change career several times during their life.

 What are the advantages and disadvantages of this?

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

Write at least 250 words.

 

SAMPLE ANSWER

Nowadays, it is becoming more and more common to have two or more jobs. Even more, people tend to change their career at some point of their lives. Like the two sides of the coin, it has both benefits as well as drawbacks. In this essay, I will look at both sides and try to draw some conclusions.

One of the main positives of reassessing the career choice is that it opens the window of new possibilities. For most people, the career choice is made during their twenties. However, with time, gained knowledge and changed priorities, they develop skills that could help them lead a better life. A career change them becomes an obvious and reasonable choice.

Freelancing has found its way in our lives. So, for instance, the manager of a big firm could possibly also be the photographer of a fashion week. Having two or more jobs, provides the work life balance to them who cannot pursue their passion as a full time career. It brings home the feeling of satisfaction with security.

Turning to the other side of the argument, a frequent career change could become a major issue. Often a career takes time to build and even more the perseverance to survive through rough times. Fluctuating between careers more than often, could bring a sense of insecurity in the minds of the individual.

Another issue is that it can be difficult to start a new life from scratch. In other words, when you start a new career, it has its own skill sets required and moreover, you are fresher in it. You need to make your network and find your space. This process takes time and can be challenging if you are doing it for simply money.

All things considered, starting a new career or fluctuating between more than one is never easy. You need to weigh up the pros of new lifestyle, busy schedules and so on, and the cons of insecurity, financial issues. Personally, I believe the benefits in terms of personal growth eventually outweigh any negatives.

Famous People # Band 9

We have been talking about the famous people in your country. Let us talk about them in more general.

What kind of people become famous in your country?

In random, definitely the politicians and also some actors and actresses are very famous among random people.

What about the past? Is it the same in the past, were politicians and actors and actress famous?

Yes, definitely the past, if you are talking about the 50s and 60s. Movies were the number one communication between villagers and town.. So, people knew actors and actresses better than the politicians. Compared to now, when you have access to television and internet, where people follow politician’s personal life more than actors and actress.

What do you think about the future, will this continue?

Yes. I think definitely in the future. Because the world is becoming globalised. Random will have tendency to be exposed to more international celebrities compared to local. So, we would follow international politics, may be British or American.

Often famous people are used in advertisement. Can you give me some examples?

Yes, famous people are used in advertisement, especially sports celebrities like tiger woods promoting sports equipment or sport clothes. Other than that I think there are more models and actors/actress, who sponsor things like perfumes etc.

Is that always true, that whatever profession they are involved in that is the kind of product they tend to promote?

I don’t think that is true. Because a lot of celebrities support clothes and perfumes where it should be models that do it.

Do you think celebrities bring negative effect in our youth?

As you can see, in lifestyles and health, celebrities and models are becoming thinner. When opening magazine, young girls will be exposed to them. Although it is normal for the model to be thin, it might cause the young girl to get into anorexia or bulimia or unhealthy practices because they think being thin is a norm whereas being healthy and being normal bodied is the normal.

What about young boys?

I think, most definitely… I think young boys could be influenced materialistically, like they would want the cars and the cool gadgets that they use. It could make boys realise that materialistic things are the only way to happiness.

How can celebrities can be used to influence public opinion?

Celebrities are used like you can see PETA, the organisation for protection of endangered species. They use celebrities to get public attention. Like there is this promotion where they get celebrities to get naked to show that animals are stripped like foxes and seals for their fur and it strikes a chord because it is a celebrity.

Study/Work Abroad # Essay For IELTS

You should spend about 40 minutes on this task.

Write about the following topic :

These days, more and more people are going to other countries for significant periods of time, either to study/work abroad. There are clearly many benefits to doing this, but people who live abroad can also face some difficulties.

Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of living and working in foreign.

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

Write at least 250 words.

SAMPLE ANSWER

We are living in a globalised world where the boundaries have become blur and mixture of cultures has led way to new way of thinking. With this, more and more people tend to move abroad for either study or work purposes. This has brought a new sense of connection between the different countries of the world. However, it has also led to the fading of the originality of a place.

Living or studying abroad, brings with it, its own advantages. Firstly, a person becomes more acquainted with the world picture. For instance, a student who pursues his studies in abroad, gets to meet people from various cultures. This brings at home great knowledge which will stick with him or her throughout his or life. Secondly, the feeling of unity gets reignited. No matter, how many boundaries have been made, humans are very much similar. This shuffling, if done with harmony, can create an environment where people with different approaches can live together and may be create something unique.

On the other hand, this movement has often lead to some serious issues as well. Like, USA has been regarded as the technology hub of the world, and due to this reason mostly talented people flock to it, leaving behind a country which needs them. Even more, often times this creates a feeling of congestion in a country. Studying abroad brings with it various new things. But if done incorrectly, it could turn out to be a disaster for the student. For example- the scholarship may turn out false, the course may be tough for the student or the climatic situation creates irritation.

Overall, in my opinion, although there is no issue in shifting to a new country, but if done just because others are doing, it could turn out to be nightmare.  Also, sticking to the roots and doing something for one’s own country always brings more sense of pride.
