Sample Answer

Nowadays, people express their feelings and emotions by giving presents to their loved ones. Some people think that giving gifts to someone is a sweet gesture of care and love, whereas, some people believe in other ways of showing their concern. There are different opinions in both the views, which I will be discussing further.

In today’s busy and self-absorbed life, we do not get enough time to spend with our family and friends. People forget to make others realise how important their presence is. Communication gap between family members makes relationships strained. In a way, gifts are not only important to start a relationship but also to maintain it. In addition, the simple act of gifting can surprise our loved ones and make them respond with the same warmth. This helps in building a healthy bond between two individuals. What is more, some people are not able to speak what they feel for others. So, they find gifts as the best way of expressing their feelings.

Looking at the other side, love and care can also be shown by a simple smile and a warm hug. A smile is the cheapest and simplest effort to show care. A lot of people need someone to listen to their problems and empathise with them. So, if we give our time to someone, it becomes more valuable than any present. People with limited income cannot afford to give presents. They shower their love and concern with encouraging words and valuable advice. Furthermore, by cooking delicious food and going out together, we can showcase our love and affection for someone.

In my opinion, we do not always need money to buy gifts to exhibit our emotions. There are many alternatives to express our love and care. Giving gifts to someone should be unconditional and we must not expect the same in return. A relationship should not be compared and evaluated on the basis of such offerings.

Writing Task 2: Essay- ‘Appearance isn’t everything’

Writing task 2

You should spend 40 minutes on this task.

Write about the following topic:

‘Appearance isn’t everything’. Discuss.

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

Write at least 250 words.

Sample Answer

It’s a human tendency to judge others by their outer appearance, but is it fair? A good physical appearance is the only parameter to decide the status and worth of a person. I think it’s unfair to draw conclusions and opinions about others without actually knowing them. Some people try to demean others by making a negative impressions, in order to derive a false sense of superiority and gratification.

Generally, people tend to make perceptions about others by outer appearance like their looks, complexion, dress etc. They hold such preconceived notions about others in order to accept or reject them. Stereotyping makes people judge others with a closed mind-set, thereby, hampers correct judgement. We must not follow general rules to judge others rather should develop our own set of standards. This way we can stop making wrong assumptions by rejecting negative influences around us.

Only external appearance cannot decide the personality of an individual. We also need to look at his inherent inner qualities which are sometimes latent. In order to manifest the true nature and qualities of someone, time is required. A person with an ordinary appearance can be a great person. Abdul Kalam Azad, a renowned scientist and former President of India, is a perfect example of this. He was an extra-ordinary man with ordinary looks. All people are born equal regardless of our outer appearance. Having a beautiful heart is more important than having beautiful looks.

Personally, I believe in the saying that ‘All that glitters is not gold’. Irrespective of the physical differences, we must respect each other as human beings and should stop being censorious.  A positive attitude with no prejudice can help individuals to overcome this problem of judging people by their looks.

Sample Answer

With the world in such economic chaos, many of us face difficult choices in managing our money. Personally, I prefer savings to high spending and I will give my reasons in the following paragraphs.
Firstly, saving money is a sensible precaution in a world where the future is uncertain. It is possible that a person might meet unemployment, serious health issues or other financial crises at some point in life. Therefore, it is essential to have some money put aside for these situations. Certainly, saving is the only way most people can achieve this. Furthermore, I believe that saving is itself a useful discipline for one to develop, as it builds the skills of planning and reaching targets. We can see that in this way disciplined people build up quite large sums through small monthly contributions. In many cases this money meets important objectives in their lives, including large purchases such as cars or property.
Finally, when there is an imbalance between savings and spending of the people, the whole world is indirectly affected. The economic downturn of 2008 was a result of this negligence. The crisis was caused by over spending and not enough savings. Individuals, Multi National corporations and even governments too are to be blamed for this financial turmoil. I feel that an emphasis on sensible saving should be a universal strategy to avoid the recurrence of such events in the near future.
I do appreciate the fact that some people think differently, saying that it is better to live for the moment and spend accordingly. While some daily spending is essential, of course, I feel this is a potentially unwise viewpoint, especially considering recent global events.
To conclude, I believe that saving is the wiser choice, not just for financial but also for personal and political reasons. Sensible saving is an invaluable skill and a help against uncertainty.(311)

IELTS LETTER #DESCRIBE THE BOOK, IELTSBAND7, DEHRADUN

Sample Answer

Dear Jay,
Hope you are well and I am really sorry that I was not able to visit you when I recently came back to the hometown.
Last week, I came across this book titled “Life is beautiful” when I was at the book store by the train station in Dehradun. The initial pages made me feel like that this is similar to all those books that give you life advice, however only when I started reading about the author’s struggles, it blew my mind away and made me very thankful for what I have. The book changed my perspective about life and made me realise that we need to be thankful for what we have.
I know the recent trouble and family issues you have been through and I’d highly recommend you to read this book. It has received many accolades and international honours. It is available at the book store by the train station and if you can’t find it there then it should be easily available online. Just in case you are too busy to go online leave me a text and, I will courier you my book.
There is a gig coming up next weekend so why don’t you plan to visit me and we can spend some quality time together.
Take care
Eminem
