IELTS Writing Sample Answer # International Communications

You should spend 40 minutes on this task.

Some people think that being able to communicate online is breaking geographical barriers and enabling people, who would never have the chance to meet, communicate online.

What are the advantages of international communications?

Are there any disadvantage too?

Write at least 250 words.

The world is a global village and with the coming of internet the communication has gone online. In present times, most people tend to prefer communicating online as compared to offline. This has allowed to bridge gap between people living at far off places and allowing people to interact with friends and family living at any corner of the world.

Interacting behind the screen has brought about great benefits. One of the major advantage of online interaction is that people can keep in touch with their loved ones at any moment. For instance, a person who works in Australia need not to wait for days to interact with his or her family living overseas, but can chat any moment either in social media or use any of the applications available.

Secondly, it allows faster communication among people. Example, if a business men wants to share an information or want to get an information from other individual, he or she can get is faster than before. Even more, it allows for greater communication between people from different countries allowing cross cultural interaction.

On the other hand, international communications have opened up door for some drawbacks as well. Firstly, people are now more likely to get lost in the world of online interaction losing a touch with people who are near to them. Secondly, often people waste their time and energy talking with people they will never see in their life and miss out on building relationships in real life.

Overall, international communications have brought about people closer and made interacting easier. However, completely immersing oneself into the cyber space often leads to random wandering of people, leading them nowhere.

IELTS Writing Sample Answer # Technology For Communication

More and more businesses as well as individuals are choosing to communicate either professionally or socially using technology rather than face to face interaction.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of using technology for communication?

Technology has brought about a considerable shift in the way communication between individuals and companies take place; a shift from the traditional face to face interaction towards online communication. However, the central question is whether the change is positive, or whether there are more drawbacks than advantages?

One of the major plus points of online interaction is there are less chances of fraud. No one can deny that they have said a particular thing as there is record of everything. For instance, if a company promises to offer its employee a bonus of 1000 and the information is sent via mail, the organisation cannot deny having send it. If it does, it has to prove that the mail was malicious.

Technology

Secondly, online interaction seems to fit in the busy world we live in. Most people don’t have time to travel, but they still can interact with people they want to in just a click. Even more, it bridges the gap between people living far away. Example- friends who don’t meet regularly can stay in touch using any of the social media sites.

On the other hand it can be very easy to get distracted if you are constantly chatting online. Like, in a recent survey it was found out that people who used social media tend to be lesser effective at work than those who avoided there use during work. Another major disadvantage of online interaction is the security issue. Since the entire communication is online, it is quite possible that someone might drop in the conversation and steal the important passwords or information.

To conclude, there are both positives and negatives to the use of technology for communication. In spite of the fact that it brings people together and eases communication, some people don’t find it reliable in case of secret information. Personally, I believe that although technology makes life easier one must not entirely depend on it for everything.

IELTS Writing Sample Answer # Lack Of Water

You should spend 40 minutes on this task.

A serious problem affecting people right across the globe is lack of water for drinking, washing and other household purpose.

Why do many countries face water shortage, and what could be done to solve the issue?

SAMPLE ANSWER

Water, in present times, has come up as a great issue, with most of the countries across world facing shortage of water. Although in present times, most people do have water, the day when one will have to fight for water are not far.

One of the major reason for the water shortage is, people often tend to waste water. For instance, it is a common sight to see people leaving the tap open while brushing teeth or cleaning face. Even more, some people tend to wash their clothes in river water leaving the water dirty and of little use in later. To solve this problem, the government could bring more awareness among people regarding the importance of water. Even more, the people in their daily routine, must take steps to save water.

Another reason for the scarcity of water is the unequal distribution of water. It has been seen that, the water supply to the minister and other celebrities is more regulated than to the common person. As a result, the poor is often left with no water or very little water for day to day use. The problem could be addressed by supplying more water to the poor, equalising the amount of water among all.

To sum up, although it is clear the world is facing an acute problem, it is undoubtedly possible to start to tackle these issues, and improve the quality of life. Governments and local councils must take the lead in dealing with the issue, otherwise life will only get worse in the future.
