MIXED
Sometimes an IELTS essay combines two or more essay types and for this
type of essays the question parts should be individually answered.
unrealistic ambition distort the person thinking within two extremes either
good or bad. If any person care and love him, he was labilized good
otherwise he will be considered bad. They become so rigid as to give the
benefit of doubt to their love ones. It exploits the ambitious person, if his
demands couldnt be fulfilled, which leads towards, isolation, anxiety,
depression and other psychological disorders. Ambition for fame reveal the
complexes of a person, which could be only cured by that person.
I strongly believed that ambition distort the contact from reality and cause
many biological, psychological and social problems.
Should wealthy nations be required to share their wealth among poorer nations
I E LT S W R I T I N G TA S K 2 W I T H S A M P L E A N S W E R.
Model Answer:
Hundreds of thousands of people are going through pandemic poverty in the developing
countries. Some people opine that wealthy nations should lend their support by sharing
resource, such as food and education. Others, on the other hand, argue that the onus is on the
governments to provide their citizens with fundamental needs. Although this is a very
complicated and controversial issue, I firmly believe that the governments of the developing
nations are the right agent in the case.
For a start, the root cause of why people are deprived of basic needs, like food and education,
is the lack of good governance. And in absence of good governance, the governments
eventually become corrupted. These corruption-ridden governments exploit resources for
their own interest instead of people, and eventually, they fail to provide their citizen with the
basic needs. In the case, affluent nations help does not knock the doors of the deprived
people, if there is lack of good governance. So, it is the governments which only can ensure
the fundamental needs like food and education for their people.
Besides, many empirical evidences shed light on that that wealthy nations are unable to
sustainably develop the poor nations and reveal that if the governments are efficient and good
governance prevails, then the people are able to elevate their living standard by managing
fundamental needs. For example, Nicaragua and Vietnam had been suffered of long period of
conflict and both were helped with foreign aid. But Vietnam is able to conquer poverty
ensuring fundamental needs to its people, whereas Nicaragua still is struggling with the ailing
economy.
From the above discussion, it is obvious that foreign aid is a tool with only a limited ability to
trigger growth without good governance. Therefore, the governments of the poor countries
should practice good governance for ensuring basic needs.
Essay Organisation:
Theme: Should wealthy nations be required to share their wealth among poorer nations or
such poor countries should look after themselves?
Point 1: Development is something largely determined by poorer nations themselves.
Example: By devising domestic reforms, China and India have flourished and poverty has
plunged in the both countries
Point 2: Foreign aid is a tool with only a limited ability to trigger growth.
Example: Despite the foreign aid, Nicaragua has failed to ensure basic need like food security
and education.
Point 3: Every nation has its own unique history, a very different present and will chart its
own version of the future.
Essay Question:
Should wealthy nations be required to share their wealth among poorer nations by providing
such things as food and education? Or is it the responsibility of the governments of poorer
nations to look after their citizens themselves?
Identifying the Task:
Should wealthy nations share their wealth among poorer nations? Or the government of such
poor nations should not rely on help from rich countries and look after themselves?
Essay Type: Argumentative. You need to support either one of these two views.
Main points to support your essay:
Why wealthy nations should share their wealth among poorer nations?
Many poor nations suffer from very basic needs like foods, education,
healthcare and infra-structure and the rich nations can easily help those nations
with their abandoned resources.
Poorer nations often have corruptions and crime and thats why developed
nations should help them to improve their socio-economic conditions.
Poor nations often lack the sufficient research and experience to improve
their education and health care system and thats why rich nations should take
steps to help the poor nations.
The rich nations should monitor the progress as many poor nations have
corrupted government system.
Wealthy nations should share their wealth for the sake of rapid
development in human civilization.
If wealthy nations share the wealth to develop the overall life standard of
the poor nations, they will create a huge market for their industry and can
produce products cheaply due to low labour cost.
International aids often come with various conditions and thats why
government of a poor country should try to improve their condition themselves.
No rich nations will help a poor country forever and its ultimately the
government and citizens of a country who should try to develop themselves.

News editors decide what to broadcast on television and what to print
IELTS WRITING TASK 2 WITH SAMPLE ANSWER.
Essay Question:
News editors decide what to broadcast on television and what to print in
newspapers. What factors do you think influence these decisions? Do we
become used to bad news? Would it be better if more good news was
reported?
Identifying the Task:
What factors influence news editors what to broadcast on television and
what to print in newspapers? Do we become used to bad news? Would it be
better if more good news was reported?
The type of news that would attract more audiences and readers.
Business motivations.
Commercial gains.
Media shapes the way perceive a news and that might affects the way
we received a news.
There are always sources for more good news and the news editors
and media should emphasize on our good side more than the bad side.
People should make their own choice about the type of news they
would pick from a newspaper of from a TV channel.
Model answer:
It is often said that the media is the third pillar of democracy. But the
question is whether they are really worthy of this high appraisal! Selecting
news item is the prerogative of the news editors. They very often decide
which news to present to mass people, which to hide from them and they
determine the news value. There are certain things that they have to
consider. In this respect, readers or viewers are helpless. Unfortunately,
most of the cases, they present only saucy news with the view of
commercial profit. As a result, we are used to bad news. I think that good
news should be published for the sake of the betterment of the society.
Today media houses are being run mostly by the gigantic corporate
organizations. A huge number of employees are working there.
Furthermore, a quite big deal of budget is allocated for those media houses.
Therefore, they are intended to return back their investment as early as
possible. To do so, editors often consider news merely as a trade item and
they are eager to sell it. Consequently, they are being haunted to the cheap
popular news. Moreover, bad events like war, natural calamities and so on
are taking place all around the world and naturally those events are making
bad news headlines. For instance, after Nine/eleven, the war on terror are
running against few countries and particularly, the whole Arab world is
involved in war and people are also very much eager to know about this sort
of news.
Again, media is so frequently used as a tool to manipulate people. Media
houses are trying to build hegemony. Totalitarian dictators use it like
propaganda machine. They blurred the people eyes and keep people in a
hazy state. Even, they produce justification of war. A case in point is Iraq
conflict which shows that how media can be used so shamelessly. Almost
every media, whether it is print or electronic, propagated that Saddam
Hossain had reserved chemical weapons and they showed this as a
justification of war against Iraq. But after the war, no chemical weapon was
found and there was no scope to remedy injustice against Iraqi people.
However, negative news affects the level of peoples optimism and
happiness. That is to say that people who view the more negative news, the
more their optimism level faded away and the more likely they are to feel
despair, afraid and tense. In my case, I always manifest good things in my
life and great moods through looking at good news and not dwelling on the
negative news that are also going on in the world. I feel good every day. For
example, TV news that contest with competitors need to broadcast
dramatic news story and tell the story as quickly as possible. The medium is
good enough at comparing to other media that are giving viewers an
emotional attachment to the characters in those news stories. Emotional
attachment is something which can be as much about making the viewers
happy, making them laughs as it can be about people becoming anxious or
pessimist or depressed. Therefore, if we use the strength of television news
positively, we can build an optimistic ambiance.
In conclusion, I feel that good and authentic news should be presented.
News editors should objectively publish news without manipulating it. But

The idea of having a single career is becoming old fashioned
I E LT S W R I T I N G TA S K 2 W I T H S A M P L E A N S W E R.
Model Answer:
The concept of only one career is fading away day by day. People are now more and more
attracted in different professions or means of earning. Basically, there are two main reasons
lie in this fact. One cause is huge job scopes due to the ever-changing technology and the
other one is socio-economic condition. Consequently, people are eager to learn new things so
that they can acquire new skills to adapt with the new condition.
Science & technology opens new avenues in modern life. It has a ripple effect on every
aspect of human life. It has changed peoples aura and attitude as well. Not only that, it has
revealed manifold job opportunities for human being that was beyond the imagination before.
And also due to the technological advancement, people are now able to do various jobs
simultaneously.
Nowadays, people are in constant race with the changing technology and education and for
the most part they win. The impacts of technological change are enormous. Technology pairs
smartly with labour and capital to generate production. For example, it greatly rockets
productivity of those who uses the latest computers in their work. Many other inventions
have also similar effects. New technologies open new avenues for skilled workers every day.
Not only it creates new job scopes but also make people able to work simultaneously in
different fields. For instance, a web designer can serve for an organization and coming at
home he can also outsource through internet. And in this way he can work at office and home
simultaneously and makes an extra income.
Again, life becomes harder day by day. The overall standard of living and its costs have
increased. Sometimes it is really hard to maintain minimum level of standard from single
source of income. Moreover, people want to obtain a lot more amenities so that they can lead
a cozy life.
The above discussion makes it clear that people have nothing to do but have multiple careers.
To do so, people need various skills. Again, technology creates enormous options, but on the
flip side it is also ominous for unskilled or outmoded workers. So, further education is direly
needed and thus education becomes an indispensable part of human life. In a nutshell, I want
to say that we need the latest and diverse knowledge and skills to cope with the latest
challenges and we should keep ourselves ready to continue further study whenever it is
necessary and accept the opportunity and challenges of having more than one job.
Essay Organisation:
Theme: To have several careers or ways of earning money and further education will be
something that continues throughout life.
Topic 1: Prospect of huge job facilities due to the ever-changing technology.
Example: Online jobs, Part-time job facilities and stay-at-home job facilities have become
common these days.
Example 2: Due to the technological advancement, people are now able to do various jobs
simultaneously.
Topic 2: Complex socio-economic condition will force people to work more and in multiple
jobs to earn more money.
Example: Peoples daily expenses have increased dramatically but their earning has not
increased proportionately. Hence working part-time or remotely enables them to earn more.
Topic 3: Further education is required to adapt new technologies or to gain more experience
and knowledge.
Example: Without further education someone from Science background cant adopt in a
highly competitive business organization. Similarly with our training or further education
someone from Arts or Commerce background cant compete with people from computer
science background.
Essay Question:
The idea of having a single career is becoming an old fashioned one. The new fashion will be

Main points to support your essay:
The advancement in technology allows people to work for home and that
would facilitate having more than single career people had in old days.
Technology and demand of the career requires people to always learn new
things.
Economic needs and high living costs sometimes bound people to do more
than one jobs to earn more.

We are becoming increasingly dependent on computers
I E LT S W R I T I N G TA S K 2 W I T H S A M P L E A N S W E R.
Essay Question:
We are becoming increasingly dependent on computers. They are used in business, hospitals,
crime detection and even to fly planes. What things will they be used in the future? Is this
dependence on computers a good thing or should we be more suspicious of their benefits?
Identifying the Task:
In which sectors and fields the computers will be used in the future? Is this dependence on
computers a good thing or should we be more suspicious of their benefits? Why?
Essay Type: Discussion.
Main points to support your essay:
What things will computers be used in the future?
Computers are pretty fast a reliable. They can process a huge number of
data in a very short time. Data processed by a latest computer in a second could
take hundreds of years by a human.
Computers are better alternatives for manual and tiresome jobs. Thus the
overall productivities of a company can be greatly enhanced by the usages of
computers.
Computers are just machine and a simple bug or improper coding can lead
to a disaster for human.
Too much dependency on computer would lead to a time when people will
no longer rely on own ability.
Computers cant take any decision that are not programmed beforehand.
Thus it can fail in certain situations.
Too much dependency has many detrimental effects on our physical and
psychological well-being.
People would become less social and less human! Because of their
complete dependency on computers and internet.
Model Answer:
Computers today are performed in virtually every aspect of the most individuals lives. In
business, computers are used extensively, such as, to maintain sales record, customer records,
manage inventories, and maintain online stores, controls robots and other machines in
factories. Computers pair neatly human efforts and machine to enhance productivity. In the
war, it is used in accurate target and to reduce maximum casualties.
In the near future, computer will determine our every step. But the question is how computers
will impact on our lives, attitude or mindset and our overall environment. Future computers
will change the uses of electronic devices at workplace and home. Take TV for an example.
Without remote control, your TV will be able to pause the program you are watching just
seeing you are leaving the room. There might other applications consist of a set of software
that will help people control their computers and other connecting devices at workplace or
home with just gesture.
The advancement of computer technology has made our life easier and the overall
productivity has enhanced to a great extent. We should not stay back while we can make the
world a better place with the help of this technology. Everywhere, including home, office,
bank, research centre and business, computer is a must for advancement. So we dont have
any other option rather than embracing the miracle of this tool.
We need to be more cautious than suspicious while using computers. If anything goes wrong
with the computers, that would because of our faults, the technology could not be blamed. So
being suspicious and not welcoming this gift would be an imprudent idea. Rather we should
be more careful to use this technology in sophisticated areas like controlling traffic,
diagnosing a patient or controlling airplane to reduce any disaster.
From what has been discussed above I can draw the conclusion that no one in this life can
avoid computer whether at present or tomorrow. But what we should be aware of is that
computer errors. A single silly mistake might turn into nightmare for us and even can bring
down devastating outgrowth.

Model Answer :
Traffic and pollution are the most pressing issue of city life. Each day, the
problem is going from bad to worse with the growing number of private
vehicles. That is why, some people contend that the price of fuels should be
soared. From my point of view, I do not think it is a sensible idea as it may
bring forth devastating consequence in economy. I would rather want
government to encourage people to use public transports instead of using
private cars.
To commence with, traffic and pollution issues are getting worse and worse.
In many circles, it is argued that government should hike the price of fuels
up in order to grapple with the issue. They claim that when the price shoots
up, people will tend to lessen their use of private vehicles, which in turn will
curb the issue. But, the increase in fuels may impact on economy severely.
If the price of fuels soars, it will eventually affect each and everything that
we use or consume in our daily life. That is to say, the increase in fuel price
will raise the transport cost, the rise in transport cost will increase in the
price of commodities, which in turn will cause inflation. The increase in fuel
price, thus, has dire consequences.
Increasing the price of the fuel would also increase the overall cost to
run private cars on the roads. This trend would control the number of cars
running on the streets.
Many people would use public transportation like bus, train, bicycle
etc. instead of using their own cars for short destinations.
People would use alternative fuels like Natural gases that cause less
pollution to the environment.
The financial burden that the increased petrol price would create will
have a great impact on car owners and they will use their cars as less as
possible.
Disagreement (Increasing the price of petrol is NOT the best way to
solve growing traffic and pollution problems)
On the other hand the increased petrol price would also increase the
daily expenses in many countries and the low and middle class population
would suffer greatly.
Public buses also use the petrol as their primary means of fuel.
Increasing petrol price would also increase the bus rent.
Many small industries and small businesses would find it hard to run
their businesses that rely on such fuel to run their production.
Rich people will continue to use their cars on the roads and that
would continue to harm the environment.
power is the cost of maintaining and reproducing the worker and his
family at a socially accepted living standard. Most of the cases, this
includes only the bare necessity. That means labours are fed only the
amount that he can again sell his labour for the next day.
In addition, capitalism is inherently an expanding system in which
capitalists have to constantly accumulate and extend their capital in
order to preserve it. They are bound to extend their capital otherwise
they would be destroyed by their competitors. In the process, this
expansion eventually takes place on a worldwide basis, because
capitalists have to push their mode of production into every nook and
cranny of the world. Nonetheless, capitalists also have an insatiable
thirst for enjoying the consumption of their capital. Thus, labours are
being exploited to earn surplus value which is again reconverted into
capital; actually it is a gyration. In this gyration, a huge development
takes place all over the world both infrastructure and workforce, but
these are enjoyed by only few claimants of capital. Let us take
situation in the USA for example. The lions share of wealth in U.S is
possessed by 400 rich families, in which the six individual Wal-Mart
heirs owns wealth more than 30% of Americans combined. Thus, few
people make their own heaven and conjure up this as development in
front of us.
From what has been discussed above it can be said that of course
economic development is the prime cause of poverty. That is to say
that economic development is the offspring of capitalism that is a
process by which few people become rich to make the rest poor.
from the agriculture. A revolutionary change has taken place with the
combination of computer and the automated self-regulating machine.
The outcome of this change is a system of almost unlimited
productive capacity which needs progressively less human labour.
Consequently, many job positions are dying out every day in almost
every workplace.
We have already entered the world where computerization causes
jobs to wash away. In many manufacturing factory, a sizeable chunk
of human labour has been digitized by computer. At times, when
labour caries goods to transfer from one place to another in a factory.
But now automated vehicles are being replaced the job of these
workers. The comparative vantage of human labour over
computerized system is drying up before our eyes. For example,
Forbes now uses the algorithms to generate earnings announcements
around a companys stock price, and even can tailor the information
to provide to particular audiences. Consequently, many journalists
have been quitted from Forbes.
Although an ample number of tasks are being done efficiently and
effectively rather than human effort, still there have some limitations.
The automated vehicles are incapable to make ethical decisions in the
same manner as human. For example, how does the automated
vehicle choose comparatively less harm in the event of an accident?
To sum up, I believe that humans are intelligent enough to invent
new trend in business. The more computers extinct jobs, the more
new positions will be created, I think. Human being will have to
prove that nothing can match his superiority.
How true is this statement? How far colour influence people health and capacity to work?
Discuss advantages of both methods and give your own opinion.
Give reasons for your answer and give any relevant example or experience you might have to
support your answer.
Write at least 250 words.
Model Answer:
It goes without saying that everyone has a favorite colour. When it comes to colour
predilection, there are as many opinions as there are hue variations. Whether it is the dresses
we wear, the room we live, or the car we drive, we are all confine to certain colour and take
our preference seriously. So, naturally, psychologists have a long-standing curiosity in colour.
They have discovered there is a correlation between colour and human mood. That is why, we
pay attention to colour schemes gracing places as offices and hospitals in order to create a
conducive ambiance for work and health.
There are several reasons why colours are able to induce how we feel. We react on multiple
levels of association with colours; there are social or cultural levels as well as personal
relationship with particular colour; according to Leslie Harrington, executive director of The
Color Association of The United States, which forecasts colour trends. She also contends that
we also have innate reaction to color. So, choosing one colour than other colours is very
important. This means that a particular colour has a particular role to play. For example,
green puts you in a relaxed or refreshed mood, purple makes you feel powerful or reveal your
creativity, red evokes powerful emotions like passion, fear and anger and blue takes you
down, but not down to depression level rather it conveys tranquility.
However, we should be aware of the impact colour has on employees while decorating
offices. It seems that if the workplace is decorated with too colours, employees may end up
finding it hard to concentrate on their work. Yet, choosing colour depends on the type of
business being conducted in the office. For instance, purple is appropriate for a designer who
wants creativity. Since it stimulates his spirit and ego, and makes him more optimistic. In
contrast, when it is dealt with something physical, then red is the perfect choice, because it
stimulates physically. Similarly, hospitals have long been aware of few colours like mint
greens and light blues are conducive in decreasing patient stress and can impart physical and
mental relaxation.
All in all, I want to say that while a persons personality affects how they determine colour,
colours mold everyone universally. It, thus, is an inevitable fact that colours may somehow
influence how we feel, especially in certain places like office and hospitals. So, keep it in
your mind that which colour is suitable for hospital or office environment when decorating
these places.
The invention of internet has made it easier for tourists and potential
employees to learn about different places and job opportunities. This
ultimately affects their decision to travel or work in a new city.
The city offers better job facilities and thats why more people are
travelling to cities than ever before.
The cheap and convenient air travel facility attracts more and more
people to travel to new places.
The numbers of students who are opting to get a foreign degree are
increasing rapidly. That ultimately increases the number of people
travelling nowadays.
Travelling with family and friends often becomes our sweet memory

Now, more than ever, people are traveling a lot. The development of
aviation and globalization contributes to the phenomenon. However,
people can enrich themselves through these travels, as they gain cultural
experience, and hone their skills required for job fields.
For a start, the development of aviation has made the air fare cheaper than
ever before. As a result, not only can the affluent people afford the travel
cost, but also common people can bear the expense of traveling. In
addition, globalization has expanded the business throughout the globe.
Consequently, people need to travel in order for business purpose. Apart
from that, people now lead a hectic life and want to recharge themselves
through traveling. People, thus, are travelling more than ever before.
However, travelling is useful for people in several ways. First of all, it helps
people escape the racial pigeon hole. For instance, when people tour a
country, they can be acquainted with the host countrys culture, heritage,
and tradition. Consequently, they can understand different perspectives,
which in turn free people from stereotypes and may calm global tensions
between the nations. Secondly, globalization has removed the national
boundaries and has expanded trade and commerce across the world. As a
result, the employers need the employees with knacks such as, selfdependence, networking, bilingualism, and so forth. And people can attain
global experience through touring the nations. Last but not the least, the
increase of travelling can boom the tourism industry. Which by
consequence may create myriad job opportunities and people can get rid of
the poverty curse.
To recapitulate, the improvement of aviation and globalization contributes
to the rise of travelling. It brings forth several benefits, for instance
Model Answer:
Typically, holidays seem to be a relaxing pause between busy routines. But
this conventional notion of holidays is changing day by day. In holidays,
people tend to engage in unusual and adventurous activities rather than
looking for comfort, calm or amenities. Several reasons, like competitive
attitude, dangerous sports, prestige, lie in this current vogue. However, I
think these changes have positive impact.
First of all, the world has become more competitive than it was before.
People are always in race and do not want to tame the spirit even during
their holidays. Accordingly, they have predilection for adventurous sports,

Sample Answer :
It goes without saying that we are learning and developing ourselves
throughout our life. We gain knowledge not only from books but also from
our daily experience. While knowledge from books is important, I believe
knowledge that we gain from our empirical experience is more important.
Following reasons could explain why.
To start with, experience is a stunning tool with which we can judge the
knowledge gained from books is authentic or not. However, books are
wonderful source of knowledge. It provides us with essential knowledge
that is crucial for living a better life. The most significant feature of books is
that they accumulate all the knowledge gained from generation to
generation. We can gain myriad knowledge from books including science,
math, history, physics, literature, philosophy, and so on. We can
understand and justify what the books really mean through our own
experience and practice. For example, once people learnt from books that
our planet is flat, but the scientists found it wrong later through
measurement and observation.
In contrast, I believe that the truth comes from practice and experience.
We can accomplish knowledge from our experience as much as those from
books. For example, a few hundred years ago, people thought that the sun
travels around the earth, but later Nicolaus Copernicus proved that was
wrong through his experience and observation. He concluded that the earth
goes around the sun. Knowledge is being producing incessantly through our
daily experience and practice, and some of the knowledge could never be
found in books. Books have limitations that they only confine to past issues,
but our experience and practice produces cutting-edge knowledge that
leads to further development of mankind.
However, we can gain knowledge mainly from two channels, books and
experience. Each plays different roles for us. In my opinion, I believe that
knowledge from experience is more important than from books. This is
because it not only tailors current demands, but also corrects previous
mistakes.
In pithy, experience helps us discovering new things and assessing the
trustworthiness of a phenomenon. I, therefore, believe that knowledge from
experience is more significant that those from books
Model Answer:
Adolescence is one of the crucial stages in the lifespan of human being. It is
the time when very rapid changes take place both mentally and physically.
Accordingly, it is quite natural that teenagers may encounter several
problems like substance abuse, sexually transmitted diseases, bullying
emotional problems and so forth. In this case, both the family and school
have lot of things to do in aiding the youngsters.
Growing up into adulthood makes one to experience many difficulties in
various sphere of life including personal, social and educational problems.
One of the major problems is substance abuse. Very often teenagers are
susceptible to drug addiction. Reliance on hard drugs and alcohol to cope
with daily stresses reduce their responsible decision making proficiency
that leads to serious adjusting problems including anti-social activities and
depression. In order to avoid these problems, parents and teachers should
come up with proper guidance while at the same time ensuring conductive
atmosphere so that they can cope with their stresses.
Similarly, another noticeable problem they face is sexually transmitted
problem. They are likely engaged in irresponsible sexual behavior which
induces several sexual diseases. In this case, the youngster ought to be
helped by teachers and family in discarding stereotypes about sex which

Peoples dependency on fast food items is the main reason why many
people are overweight nowadays.
People are leading busy lives and they have little time for physical

home-made nutritious foods.
Model Answer :
Almost a third of the world is now fat, and no country has been able to curb
obesity, according to new global analysis. In this essay, I am going to unveil
some contributing factors result in this problem as well as corresponding
remedies which could be taken to cure this issue.
Many studies have shown that lack of access to quality food contributes to
obesity. Take America as an example is here. Two-third of U.S. adults is
now overweight and one-third are obese, making normal-sized people
actual minority. People, in poor neighborhood of America, are confined to
unhealthy food environment. Residents of these areas are surrounded by
junk food heavens like McDonald, KFC, Subway, and so forth. People have
no option but eat rich food. Almost every American is struggling every day
navigating the food system in which everything seems to make them
overweight and obese.
Now, in order to grapple with the obesity issue, government and individuals
should take some measures. The government ought to subsidise fruits and
vegetables and should impose tax on junk foods so that people can afford
healthy foods and are discouraged to eat unhealthy foods. In addition, the
tax money should be spent on raising the awareness of the hazardous
effects of junk foods. Likewise, individuals should change their food habit.
They ought to cook and grill more frequently at home with healthy food
items. For example, many studies show that people are less likely obese
with home-made meals than those who eat junk foods of restaurants. So,
changing the current food habit will curb the obesity and ameliorate the
level of health and fitness.
All in all, I want to say that if we do not consider this as really serious
urgent national priority, we are all of us individually and as nation going to
pay really serious price. What type of nation can live without a workforce
that is healthy? So, what the obese or the obesity is doing to the nation is
crippling the workforce, beyond that crippling the families, crippling the
individual, and the community. Therefore, the government and individuals
should make efforts in tandem so that obesity could be conquered entirely.
television programs. After all, they can take all the advantages of their
familiar environment.
However, there are plenty of benefits staying away from home. First of all,
students can attain many imperative qualities. For example, one can learn
how to deal with a complex situation independently and maturely. In
addition, it also helps them to firm their confidence to encounter the world
full of challenges and obstacles. Secondly, these students can make a big
group in the library or canteen in order to finish next weeks assignment,
when students who stay at home are snoozing on the long bus ride back to
their home. Moreover, it also is a great opportunity to accomplish
interpersonal skills. Last but not least, it imparts the chance to be
acquainted with others cultures, principles, and dogma. It helps them to
smash their stereotypes.
In conclusion, I would like to say that university is just not a place to get a
piece of paper. It is the very place where student would grow academically
and personally. Therefore, students should stay at dormitory of university
so that they can take full advantage of it.
Model Answer:
Foreign workers, in many countries like Malaysia, UAE, Singapore, and
even the USA, contribute to the development to a great extent. While
expatriate labours have certain advantage, they can also turn into burden
for the economy of the country. In this essay, I will focus on both side of the
coin: advantage and disadvantage.
Foreign workers impart many benefits to the host country. First of all, they
meet the scarcity of certain job field. Take Malaysia for example. It is bereft
of skilled worker at building construction. Therefore, expatriate workers are
blessing for Malaysia due to the fact that Malaysian people have not got
high skill of building construction. Secondly, foreign workers are usually
cheap. They are generally satisfied with the wages which are high in
comparison to their home country. Moreover, foreign workers are likely to
do many odd jobs which local people are reluctant to do. Last but not the
least, when a country is lacked of professional worker, government of the
country imports professional workers from another country to work at the
country to share their expertise with local people. For instance, every year
Malaysian government hires professional workers to be employed in
particular sectors like education, medical, construction, and many more. All
these advantages manifest that the economy is benefited in manifold ways.
On the flip side, migrant workers also pull back the economy. One vital
factor is that they send an ample of money home, instead of spending it.
This leads to the loss of foreign exchange for the host country. In addition,
foreign workers not only take jobs away from the local, but also reduce the
wages for some jobs. For example, local people prefer a job with high
salary. In many cases, foreign labours want to do the same job in
comparatively low salaries. Consequently, employers can get workers with
less salary. In this way, expatriate workers contribute to reducing salaries
and lead to unemployment problem. The influx of migrant workers leads to
overpopulation. Overpopulation means pressure on services such as
housing or hospitals and this is an extra burden for the state which has to
pay the cost. These facts can evolve economica crisis for the state.
To wrap up, in my opinion, all that I want to say that there must need some
control over the use of migrant workers so that they cannot cut off the
labour market for locals. The country ought to emphasize on the citizen
before leaning outside for workers.
