IELTS Writing Task 2 Sample Answers (Updated 2025)
1) Interviews form the basic selecting criteria for most large companies. However, some people think
that the interview is not a reliable method of choosing whom to employ. To what extent do you
agree or disagree?
The interview process plays a pivotal role in identifying the most suitable candidate for a specific position.
While some argue that it may not a reliable technique to select a suitable candidate, others contend that
it is an effective method for assessing a candidate's potential. Both sides of the arguments will be
discussed in the upcoming paragraphs.
On the one hand, job interview are a vital part of selection process. They play an important role in the
assessment of the confidence, behaviour, language and problem solving abilities of the candidate.
Personal interviews gives a brief description of the overall personality of the person. They provide a
genuine idea of how the candidate will perform in the future under the specific circumstances. 
On the other hand, interviews have several limitations. For instance, they can be influenced by personal
biases and candidates may not always perform to their best abilities due to nervousness or other factors.
Additionally, Interviews may not provide a comprehensive picture of a candidate's skills and abilities, as
they are often limited to a short period. Furthermore, Interviews can also be stressful and anxiety-
provoking, which can affect a candidate's performance and may not accurately reflect their abilities.
In conclusion, while job interviews are not a foolproof method for selecting candidates, they can provide
valuable insights into a candidate's personality, communication skills, and problem-solving abilities. To
increase the reliability of interviews, employers should consider using a combination of selection
techniques, including psychometric tests, skills assessments, and reference checks.
NOTE: In IELTS Writing Task 2, always discuss both sides clearly before giving your own opinion. This
shows balance, critical thinking, and organization.
 
2) Access to clean water is a basic human right. Therefore every home should have a water supply
that is provided free of charge. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Clean water is often described as the foundation of life, and there is little doubt that every individual
should be entitled to it. However, the idea of making water entirely free for all households is more
complex than it may first appear. In my view, while governments must guarantee universal access,
providing water at no cost to everyone is neither realistic nor sustainable.
The strongest argument in favour of free water is humanitarian. Families should never face the choice
between paying for water and meeting other basic needs. A guaranteed supply for drinking, cooking, and
hygiene would help protect public health, particularly in communities with limited financial means. Such a
policy would also uphold the principle that human dignity should never be compromised by economic
hardship.
Nevertheless, removing all charges for water could create unintended problems. Purifying, storing, and
transporting water requires infrastructure that is costly to build and maintain. If households receive

unlimited water without paying, governments would have to divert funds from other essential services
such as healthcare or education.
In addition, people tend to value resources less when they are free, which could result in careless
consumption and even shortages. A fairer solution is to provide every household with a basic allowance
free of charge, while applying modest fees for usage beyond essential needs.
In conclusion, I agree that clean water should always be accessible, but a completely free system would
be impractical. A combination of free basic provision and responsible pricing ensures both fairness and
sustainability.​
NOTE: Use specific examples and balanced arguments to score well in Task Response. Examiners
look for logical reasoning rather than extreme answers.
 
3) Some people think that shops should not be allowed to sell food or drinks that are scientifically
proven to be bad for people’s health. Do you agree or disagree?
 
The increasing availability of unhealthy food and drinks has raised questions about whether their sale
should be banned once they are proven harmful. While such a measure could seem beneficial in theory, I
would argue that an outright prohibition is neither practical nor desirable.
There is no doubt that highly processed products, particularly those rich in sugar, salt, and artificial
additives, contribute to serious health conditions such as obesity and heart disease. Removing them from
shop shelves would likely reduce consumption and encourage healthier eating habits. In the long term,
this could ease pressure on public healthcare systems and promote a healthier population. Proponents
also claim that restrictions would protect vulnerable groups, especially children, from exposure to harmful
products.
Nevertheless, banning unhealthy foods raises issues of fairness and feasibility. Personal choice is an
important aspect of modern society, and many would see such restrictions as an unnecessary intrusion
into private life. Moreover, prohibition often fails to achieve its goals: people may seek out alternative
sources, creating unregulated markets that are even harder to control. It is also important to recognise
that not all products are harmful when consumed occasionally; the real problem lies in excessive intake.
A more constructive approach would be to combine public education with regulation, such as clear
labelling, restrictions on advertising, and higher taxes on unhealthy items. These measures encourage
healthier behaviour without eliminating freedom of choice.
In conclusion, while the health risks of certain foods and drinks are undeniable, banning them entirely is
unlikely to succeed. A balanced strategy that informs and guides consumers is a more sustainable way
forward.
NOTE: Avoid one-sided arguments unless you are fully confident. Balanced essays with alternatives
(like taxes, labelling, education) are often rewarded.
 
4) Nowadays, it is easier for young people to have a credit card compared to the past. Do the
advantages of this trend outweigh the disadvantages?
It is quite evident that these days the usage of plastic money is very common among youth rather than
earlier days. Although, the ease by which young generation get credit card is a mixed blessing such as it
provides financial  support and protection from fraud .  The drawbacks of this are risks of debts and
overspending .Therefore, the advantages of aforementioned trend is far more than the disadvantages.
One of the promising advantages of having this payment method is that cash holders can attain the
benefits that are offered by companies such as some discount promotions and easy installments with less
interest rate. To elaborate it, nowadays most of the authorized companies persuade young generation to
replace the mode of cash by using plastic money and they allure them by providing exciting offers to
attract potential customers; for example, bank cooperates with popular restaurants and shopping malls by
providing interesting discounts to those who use their credit cards with 0% interest.
What is more, this form of money is beneficial for youth as by using this kind of payment they can protect
themselves from fraud. To make it more clear, this payment method provides cashless option that allows a
person to use their banks money for their payments in advance. Thus, banks are responsible for not only
their customer payment but also for their money. For instance, when the system alerts that a customer
has just  been charges a considerable amount of money , a bank staff would call them  to confirm whether
they did or not. Consequently, this protects the customers from fraudulent crimes.  
Nevertheless, it cannot be forgotten that in some critical situations many young people misuse the credit
cards, accumulating debt which they cannot repay. As a survey conducted in the US recently found that
individuals aged from 18-25 are the fastest growing group entering long term credit cards debt, often due
GERMANY UTC +01:00 LOGINREGISTERBOOK COUNSELLING
QUICK ENQUIRY
ABOUTINVESTORSVISASCOACHINGELIGIBILITYREALITY TESTEVENTSPARTNER OPPORTUNITIESOTHERS

to impulsive spending and lack of budgeting skills. Hence, easy access to credit card encourages the users
to face the consequences related to debt.
To conclude, although credit card raise certain situations related to unnecessary payments of bill and lack
of financial skills; however it  supports youngsters financially as well as save them from unnecessary
frauds; Therefore, it is important for youth to have a wise approach while using this form of money.
NOTE: To reach Band 7+, combine advantages and disadvantages with real-life examples. Always
link back to the question in your conclusion.
 
5) Intelligent is most important quality for a leader. Do you agree or disagree?
Leaders are expected to possess a myriad of qualities that enable them to lead from the front. Many
individuals view that intelligence is an indispensable element for leaders. I completely agree with the
given statements and the arguments favoring my contention will be enunciated in the impending
paragraphs.
The first and foremost reason of why leaders need to be intelligent because a leader with high intellectual
capacity can make good decisions; for example, many successful leaders in politics and business have
demonstrated sharp analytical skills and the ability to anticipate challenges. Moreover, intelligent leaders
are quick learners, which enable them to adapt to ever-changing circumstances. Without this quality,
leaders might struggle to make sound judgments’ or effectively plan for the future.
What is more, one major quality is the ability to empathize with and motivate others. They should not only
speak but also listen to the team. Without strong communication and mutual understanding, a team can
easily become disorganized and lose direction. Similarly, leaders need to inspire their members when
facing challenges or pursuing shared goals; otherwise, the group may struggle, leading to reduced
productivity for the whole organization
To conclude, an intelligent leader is not only having high intellectual capacity but also have the quality
motivate others. Therefore, a careful approach is needed to support this.
NOTE: Always define the key term in your own words (here, “intelligence”). This shows lexical
resource and ensures clarity.
 
6) Some people think that charity organizations should only offer help to people of their own
country. But others believe that these organizations should give aid to people in great need
wherever they live. Discuss both views and give your opinion.
There has always been a debate on whether charity organizations should help merely the citizens of their
native country or the needy people all over the world. I support the latter view, though both the
viewpoints along with my opinion would be explicated in upcoming paragraphs.
On the one hand, those who believe that charitable trusts must aid locals may have several arguments;
first and foremost is, poverty still prevails in their own nation. To elaborate, not all the inhabitants in any
nation are enjoying privileged life rather there are many underdeveloped regions where dwellers suffer
due to lack of even the basic necessities. Moreover, poor health conditions of people of their place
restrain them from aiding other nations, while they need funds to be incurred in improving medical
facilities in their region. Hence, providing support to the poor section of society in their country becomes
their prime responsibility instead of others.
On the other hand, critics, also I opine that miserable lives need to be prioritized despite of the
geographical boundaries. To be precise, there should be no exception for anyone coming from anywhere
as there are several nations where denizens are even poorer than those from charity organizations’
countries. For instance, in countries like South Sudan a few individuals do not have access to education,
healthcare or food and clothes. Such people should definitely be supported by well-equipped charities of
other nations. This kind of assistance would not only uplift the standard of living of underprivileged, but
would also ensure healthy relations among distinct nations worldwide fostering international
collaboration.
To conclude, although organizations have right to save those in their homeland, yet I still hold the belief
that they should come forward to help other nations which would be a step towards humanity as well as
would strengthen cooperation among nations.
NOTE: When discussing “Discuss both views” essays, use equal space for each side before
presenting your opinion. This shows coherence and balance.

7. Many people consider shopping malls as great places to spend their leisure time and meet others.
People in the past, however, visited shopping malls only when necessary. To what extent do you
think this is a negative trend?
In modern society, a number of individuals are observed spending their free time exploring shopping
complexes, meanwhile meeting other people that was not the case in past times when they visited malls
merely when required. In my perspective, it is largely a negative development and the viewpoints related
to this would be explicated in looming fragments.
To commence with, there are several adversities if people more often spend leisure time in malls; one
major drawback is, wastage of money. To explain, when individuals visit shopping malls in order to kill
their free time they tend to purchase unnecessarily which in turn results into overspending leading to
affect their budget.
In addition, roaming in the complexes without any specific reason resultantly wastes their precious time
as well that they could have utilised being close to nature. For instance, in earlier times youth used to be
healthy as they spent most of their time in open spaces such as parks, fields or beaches where they did
distinct activities to keep them fit, however closed walls of malls are not providing them health benefits.
Are there any merits of visiting shopping malls? Certainly yes. The predominant advantage is, it makes
people feel relaxed. To be more precise, many families gather at a large shopping mall to enjoy their
holidays by shopping, watching movies and having snacks later. Owing to this, they are able to strengthen
their bonds, also it works as a stressbuster.
To conclude, although visits to shopping malls keep individuals stress-free, yet I believe its consequence
in the form of extravagancy proves it to be a negative trend.
NOTE: Use clear topic sentences at the beginning of each paragraph. This helps examiners quickly
see your organization and improves coherence.
 
8) Many aspects of the way people dress today are influenced by global fashion trends. How has
global fashion become such a strong influence on people’s lives?
The widespread impact of global fashion trends has transformed the way people dress, with styles and
aesthetics now crossing cultural and geographical divides. This essay will explore the key factors behind
the pervasive influence of global fashion.
Undoubtedly, global fashion trends have indeed become a powerful force in people's lives, influencing
their attire and self-expression. Several factors contribute to this phenomenon. For one, social media has
revolutionized the fashion industry by allowing influencers and celebrities to showcase the latest trends
on platforms like Instagram and Snapchat, thereby making fashion more accessible and appealing to a
global audience.
Furthermore, the internet has eliminated geographical barriers, enabling individuals to follow and adopt
fashion trends from around the world. Additionally, fast fashion brands have played a pivotal role by
offering trendy clothing at affordable prices and making it widely available. 
Moving further to certain other aspects, celebrity culture significantly impacts fashion choices, as
celebrities and influencers often set trends that their fans worldwide emulate. The globalization of fashion
has also resulted in a fusion of cultural styles, allowing individuals to experiment with diverse looks and
trends. Consequently, fashion has become a means of self-expression and identity, enabling people to
convey their personality, status, and affiliations through their clothing choices.
In conclusion, the influence of global fashion trends on people's lives is complex and driven by multiple
factors, including social media, accessibility, celebrity culture, and cultural exchange. While this influence
can be empowering, it also raises important questions about individuality and the pressure to conform to
trends.
NOTE: Incorporate modern examples like social media, influencers, or fast fashion to make your
essay relevant and engaging.
 
9) Some feel that the best way to ensure a happy home life for children is for parents to take a
parenting course once a year. Others disagree. Discuss both sides and give your own opinion.
The debate over whether parents should take a parenting course annually to ensure a happy home life for
children has generated significant discussion. While some believe such courses are advantageous, others
argue they are unnecessary. In this essay, I will examine both viewpoints and present my own perspective.
On the one hand, parenting courses can provide parents with valuable knowledge and practical skills to
navigate the challenges of raising children. These courses typically cover essential topics such as effective
GERMANY UTC +01:00 LOGINREGISTERBOOK COUNSELLING
QUICK ENQUIRY
ABOUTINVESTORSVISASCOACHINGELIGIBILITYREALITY TESTEVENTSPARTNER OPPORTUNITIESOTHERS

communication, discipline strategies, and emotional support, all of which are vital for creating a
supportive environment. For example, parents can gain insights into managing tantrums, encouraging
positive behavior, and fostering strong relationships with their children. Furthermore, these courses offer a
valuable opportunity for parents to connect with others, share experiences, and receive support, which
can be particularly beneficial for new parents or those facing specific difficulties.
On the other hand, critics argue that parenting courses may not be universally effective. Each family is
unique, and strategies that work for one family may not be suitable for another. Some parents might also
feel that these courses undermine their innate parenting abilities or are overly prescriptive. Moreover, the
effectiveness of these courses can vary significantly depending on the quality of the curriculum and
instruction.
To sum up, while parenting courses can be beneficial, they should not be compulsory as per my point of
view. Instead, parents should have access to a range of resources, including courses, online materials, and
support groups, allowing them to choose the approach that best suits their needs. Ultimately, the
foundation of a happy home life is built on the love, support, and understanding that parents provide to
their children, rather than on formal training.
NOTE: Use phrases like “On the one hand… On the other hand…” to show contrast. Cohesive devices
boost your Coherence and Cohesion score.
 
10) In many workplaces, creativity and imagination are becoming more valued than technical
expertise.
Why is this the case? Is this a positive or negative development?
In today’s fast-paced and innovation-driven world, many employers are increasingly prioritising creativity
and imagination over technical proficiency. This shift is largely a response to rapid technological
advancement and changing market demands. While there are many advantages to this shift, it’s also
important to strike the right balance.
There are several reasons why creativity is gaining precedence over technical skills. Firstly, in the age of
automation and artificial intelligence, many technical tasks that once required human effort can now be
performed more efficiently by machines. For instance, AI tools like ChatGPT or Excel macros can perform
complex functions in seconds that used to require trained professionals. As a result, what makes people
truly valuable at work today is their ability to think differently, come up with new ideas, and solve
problems in creative ways. Another reason is the fast-changing nature of most industries.
Companies are constantly looking for fresh ideas to stay competitive as businesses that rely only on
existing technical expertise risk becoming obsolete if they cannot adapt or reinvent themselves. Creative
employees, on the other hand, are better equipped to anticipate trends, think outside the box, and
navigate uncertainty.
This trend, in many ways, represents a positive development. Encouraging creativity fosters a culture of
innovation, flexibility, and adaptability, the qualities essential for navigating modern challenges. It also
empowers employees, giving them greater ownership of their work and a stronger sense of purpose.
However, this shift should not come at the expense of technical competence.  In fields like medicine, civil
engineering, or aviation, creativity is useful, but deep technical knowledge is absolutely essential. For
example, a surgeon may benefit from creative thinking in unexpected situations, but his success still relies
significantly on years of technical training and experience. Hence, the ideal workforce combines
imaginative thinking with solid technical foundations.
In conclusion, the growing importance of creativity reflects how the modern world of work is changing.
It’s a positive trend that helps drive innovation and adaptability, but it works best when paired with
strong technical foundations.
NOTE: Always give real-world examples (AI, medicine, engineering) to strengthen your arguments.
Examiners reward essays with concrete evidence.
 
11. Some people have decided to reduce the number of times they fly every year or to stop flying
altogether. Do you think the environmental benefits of this development outweigh the
disadvantages for individuals and businesses?
Aviation is widely recognized as a significant contributor to global carbon emissions, with its impact
growing as air travel becomes more popular. In recent years, growing awareness of climate change has led
some individuals to reduce or completely eliminate air travel from their lifestyles.I believe the
environmental benefits do outweigh the disadvantages in the long run.

To embark with, the advantages of air travel reduction. By flying less, individuals can significantly reduce
their carbon footprint. When more people adopt this approach, it sends a strong signal to industries and
governments to invest in more sustainable alternatives, such as high-speed rail or greener aviation
technologies. This cultural shift not only benefits the environment but also supports broader efforts to
combat global warming.
Moreover, reducing flights lowers greenhouse gas emissions and helps to slow global warming. It also
encourages governments and airlines to invest in greener technologies and alternative transportation. On
the other hand, reducing air travel can present inconveniences. For individuals, it may mean giving up
holidays abroad or missing important family events. Businesses that rely on international travel—especially
in sectors like tourism, aviation, and global trade—may face financial losses. However, many of these
impacts can be mitigated. 
In conclusion, while there are undeniable downsides to flying less, especially in terms of convenience and
economic impact, the long-term environmental benefits make it a necessary and responsible change. The
health of the planet must take priority, and adapting to more sustainable habits is a crucial step forward.
NOTE: For “advantages outweigh disadvantages” essays, always state your opinion clearly in the
introduction and conclusion to get a higher Task Response score.
 
IELTS Writing Task 2 Sample Answers
1) Some people say that Ebooks and modern technology will totally replace traditional newspapers
and magazines to what extent do you agree or disagree?
Technology is flourishing by leaps and bounds and providing us with new avenues while keeping us updated with the latest
news and current affairs. Therefore, a fair amount of people believe, a conventional way of newspaper reading will be
disappeared. I do not completely agree with it because a conventional newspaper is the easiest and cheapest way to get news.
To embark on, there are multiple reasons why the traditional ways of getting news are still popular. First of all, reading the
newspaper has become the ardent habit of many people. Everyone whether from the affluent or middle class is seen
desperately waiting for paper in the morning and enjoying it reading with a cup of tea. Moreover, these are the most portable,
cheapest, and easiest ways of knowing about global activities. It can be carried from one place to another in the bag and is
available at an economical price. It is so handy and merely continuing the flip of pages can make you omniscient. Secondly,
electricity and other appliances are not required. Moreover, the other attachments are like icing on the cake. For instance, the
Hindustan Times has multiple attachments like women’s fashion, career guides, culinary art, and so on.
However, undoubtedly, technology has given a radical approach to reading news, for example, videos provide a full and clear
view of reading Besides that we can download, share, and forward them to our relatives and friends. Needless to say,
technophobia will have no place in this ever-advanced modern world.
To conclude, the lives of people are drastically affected by advanced versions of technology yet, in my opinion, it will not be
able to pose a threat to the existence of traditional newspapers and magazines.

2) Some people believe that teenagers should be required to do unpaid community work in their
free time. This can benefit teenagers and the community as well.
To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Children are the backbone of every country. So, there are people who tend to believe that youngsters should be encouraged to
initiate social work as it will result in a flourished society and individualistic growth of youngsters themselves. I, too believe that
this motivation has more benefits than its drawbacks.
GERMANY UTC +01:00 LOGINREGISTERBOOK COUNSELLING
QUICK ENQUIRY
ABOUTINVESTORSVISASCOACHINGELIGIBILITYREALITY TESTEVENTSPARTNER OPPORTUNITIESOTHERS

To begin with,  social work by children can be easily associated with personality development because, during this drive, they
tend to communicate with a variety of people, which leads to polished verbal skills. For example, if they start convincing rural
people to send their children to school they have to have a convincing attitude along with developed verbal skills to deal with
diverse kinds of people there. This improved skill will help them lifelong in every arena. Apart from this, the true values of life
like tolerance, patience, team spirit, and cooperation can be learned. Besides that, young minds serve the country with full
enthusiasm giving the feeling of fulfillment and self-satisfaction. This worthiness for themselves brims them with self-
confidence and patriotic feeling. Moreover, going and experiencing multiple cultures and traditions makes their horizon so
broad that add one more feather to their cap.
However, It is truly said, no rose without thrones. Can the drawbacks of this initiation be ignored? Children go to school,
participate in different curriculum activities, and endure the pressure of peers, parents, and teachers, and in the competitive
world, they should not be expected to serve society without their self-benefits. This kind of pressure might bring resentment in
their mind.
In conclusion, I believe, the notion of a teenager doing unpaid work is indeed good but proper monitoring and care should be
given to avoid untoward consequences.

3) Do children behave better when they are physically punished or rewarded?
Children are the future of the nation and how they should be raised, is a debatable issue. Some people believe that they should
be exposed to physical punishment while others say constant appreciation is required for them. According to me, these
arguments need proper scrutinization before forming an opinion.
To begin with, there are many advantages of conferring rewards to children. First of all, appreciation and verbal praise can have
a magical impact on the behavior of the children because when they are appreciated for good conduct they come to know
about the value of good behavior and try to continue with that. The more they brim with positive comments, the more they are
confident. On the other hand, children who are subjected to artificial physical punishment are seen with a lack of self-
confidence. A survey conducted on the behavior of children revealed that a child exposed to punitive actions by parents is
more aggressive and furious than others of his age. Hence beatings of a child can never be fruitful.
On the contrary, there is no denying the fact that training the notorious and ferocious mind is a hard nut to crack because it is
true that the rod is the only logic for fools. Moreover, some children repeat mistakes even after being warned and punished,
this type of stubbornness forces parents and guardians to give them beatings. Needless to say, over-pampering may have an
adverse effect on children. In this present scenario, parents have one or two children and this pampering distracts them away
from their path.
To conclude, children are tender buds, and nurturing them is really a major responsibility. Therefore, a fair judgment on behavior
is required for a good upbringing.

4) Some people say that the feeling of competition should be encouraged in children others say they
should be taught to become cooperative. What is your opinion?
Children are the tender buds of society and they are required to be taught the true values of life. Therefore, some people tend
to believe that the feeling of competition should be infused in them while others believe that the possession of cooperative
values is required of them. I will discuss the merits and demerits of both aspects before reaching any opinion.
To begin with, there are many reasons why children should have competional values. Firstly, competition motivates youngsters
to accelerate their efforts to attain a higher level in education and in other activities. They start working hard to compete with
GERMANY UTC +01:00 LOGINREGISTERBOOK COUNSELLING
QUICK ENQUIRY
ABOUTINVESTORSVISASCOACHINGELIGIBILITYREALITY TESTEVENTSPARTNER OPPORTUNITIESOTHERS

others and understand the value of hard work. This dedication and hard work help them to stand first everywhere. Secondly,
competional values inculcate self-confidence and self-independence in children. When they participate in activities and
compete with others, they are more likely to have a feeling of self-achievement and fulfillment. They feel worthy and provide
them balanced and peaceful mind. They tend to become self-reliant and that results in the best decision-making ability in them.
Moreover, a sense of completion is the need of the hour. Undoubtedly, in the modern era, people their childhood till adults,
face competition For example- in school, there are dance competitions, race competitions, and poem competitions and when
they become adults, they face competition in taking a job while taking admission in college and even face competitive in an
exam. Thus, a value is highly required.
On the other hand, it is needless to say how important is it to inculcate the value of cooperation. This is the only feeling by
which a child can learn teamwork, team spirit, co-existence, tolerance, and patience. Moreover, if history is seen it becomes
quite evident that the well-known icons of the society are only those who had a helping and sacrificing attitude. A self-
centered human being cannot earn fame in society. Secondly, incessant preaching for competition may result in rivalry
between the peer group and others. These rival feelings take no time in turning in to jealousy and personal grudges. A heart full
of jealousy for others can never hold good for themselves and for others.
To conclude, after gauging both, competitional and cooperative values, I feel that both values have their own importance. Thus,
a child should be brought up by imparting both equally.

5) Some people think that the government is wasting money on the arts and this money could be
better spent elsewhere.
To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Art is the externalization of individual skills and reflects the heritage of a country. At present, art seems to have lost its value
because of less concern by the government, however, I feel that art still requires being given more value than other basic
necessities of any nation.
To begin with, there are many reasons why art should be the priority of any country. First of all, It is the best source of
generating revenue income for the government. Museums, art galleries, and musical concerts are the places, from where a
handsome revenue is taken. Mesmerizing sculptures and beautifully engraved paintings by renowned artists adorn the beauty
of the museums and attract tourists. Undoubtedly, these tourists are the greatest source of revenue income. These tourists
throng in large numbers on these historical places and monuments that help to promote local handicrafts, resulting in providing
income to the small-scale industries.  Secondly, art is the cultural and historical reflection of every country. It is the real asset of
every country that brings uniqueness and pride to every country and if a fund is not allocated by the government then it will be
difficult to keep this alive.
However, some opponents of art say that spending money by a government on art hampers the development of the country in
regards to good infrastructure, road system, efficient transport system, and medical facilities. Moreover, allocating money to
education and medical facilities definitely lessens the literacy rate and increases the being of the nation which helps a country
to grow.
To conclude, art is really an integral part of every country, therefore, the government should fund art museums and promote
artists’ values to keep and maintain the glorify the history of the country otherwise artists and the art will be lost in oblivion.

believe that in this technological world, traditional values are bound to disappear.
To begin with, there are many reasons why these conventional values have no existence in this modern world. First of all, In this
fast-paced world, everyone is assisted with the mobile phone to stay connected with their family and friends. However, in
olden times people used to send letters and stand in long queues on S.T.D and I.S.D just for the maturity of one call.  This
advancement in the modes of communication has proved that traditional skills are worth nothing. Secondly, technology has
transformed the world of fashion. Earlier people used to do knitting, stitching, and designing manually but now machines have
made every task easier and comfortable. To substantiate my view, many fashion designing students were seen portraying
pictures of models themselves for checking the compatibility of colors but at present, this work is done in seconds on
multifarious advanced software. Apart from this, hardly anyone is seen purchasing pitchers for cool water because of the
invention of refrigerators.
To conclude, the evolution of modern technology is an ongoing process, so, the time-consuming traditional methods will not
be able to maintain their pace with these latest trends. hence, it is useless and a waste of time to preserve them.

7) Artists need a certain amount of freedom to develop their creativity. Some people think that
artists should have total freedom to express their thoughts and ideas.
To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Art is the externalization of the skills of an artist. Therefore, there are people who are in favor of imparting full liberty to the
artists; however, others oppose this opinion freely. In my opinion, freedom is necessary up to a greater extent but there should
be proper surveillance on their work to avoid any unpleasant situation.
To begin with, there are many reasons why some people are in favor of giving full freedom to artists. First of all, if they are free
from any suppression that helps them to unveil all the social issues of the society without any fear. They expose the cancerous
spot and request that society uproot that. Any type of confinement will not let them express their thoughts. Secondly, these
creative artists are the nerve of every nation because of their extraordinary skills; if they work freely they, undoubtedly, have
the potential to make a masterpiece that brings recognition to every country on the map of the world.
However, I feel that full autonomy may have an adverse effect on the individual and on society because many times artists are
seen painting an objectionable picture, adding any anti-social dialogue in the films that results in communal riots and hurts the
sentiments of the people. These types of acts cost the lives of the people. For example, once in the popular film, some Hindu
gods are shown begging. This film has not only brought criticism by the Hindu society but also sparked communal riots that
have ended up in the demise of some people. Therefore, they should not be given full freedom.
To sum up, although artists are required to be given full liberty to explore their creativity yet government should ensure that
that very act may not hurt others' feelings.

8) Some people think that art is an essential subject for children at school while others think it is a
waste of time.
Discuss both views and give your opinion.
There has always been a raging debate about whether art is an important subject for children in schools or whether it can be
neglected in the views of other important subjects. I am going to scrutinize both aspects in further paragraphs before forming
an opinion in the last.
To begin with, on the one side of the coin, there are many reasons for supporting other important subjects in children’s school
curriculum; firstly, modern technology like computer literacy has become the need of the hour.  It is one of the most demanded
skills for a job in every sector.  If they spend most of their time in learning art they will not be able to face the cut-throat
competition of this scenario. Moreover, the knowledge of essential subjects like math, and science is highly required in every
field. Secondly, Art despite being highly appreciated, still does not ensure any career growth because most of the fields like
engineering, marketing, IT professionals, and managers are a found graduated and post graduated in these important subjects.
On the other flip side of the coin, art is a creative skill that has wonderful imagination power. It provides the wings to the
fantasy and expresses the feelings without the exchange of words. To illustrate, I have come across a painting in which the

difference between the rich and poor’s plight was depicted through painting only. Moreover, music is also a piece of art and
works as a healing therapy in the hectic world.  Secondly, artists bring laurels for the country across the world and ensure that
the cultural heritage of the country may not be extinct.  For this, they are highly paid and appreciated.  That kind of respect is
no less than a flourished career.  To conclude, in my view, the selection of the subjects should be left to the students in which
they are interested because that very interest helps them to grow in their life.

9) Nowadays the way many people interact with each other has changed because of technology. In
what ways has technology affected the types of relationships people make? Has this become a
positive or negative development?
Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or
experience.
Write at least 250 words.
Technology is flourishing by leaps and bounds in each and every field and communication is not the exception. However, this
tremendous change in the ways of interaction cannot be regarded as fruitful straightforwardly because of its certain drawbacks
which spark debate on its positive and negative effects.
To embark on, with regards to positive development, one of the prominent benefits is that technology has made
communication easier and more comfortable. At present, people are hardly one click away from the near and dear ones
because of modern developments like Skype, video conferencing, WhatsApp, and social networking sites, like Facebook. These
advancements have made everyone social to much extent. Secondly, there are tremendous chances in the way of letters and
telegrams were sent and in making calls. People used to stand in long queues at S.T.D and I.S.D booths but now mobile phones
and advanced gizmos facilitate everyone to interact freely.
On the other hand, certain drawbacks cannot be ignored like today’ people not only spend a long time in using computers but
also do not prefer to meet their friends and relatives face to face leading to a faded relationship. For instance, one of my
childhood friends preferred to meet me personally on different occasions like a festival and on birthdays but nowadays, she
sends messages wishing me and sends greetings on my mail. Even most of the family members are suffering from asphyxia, a
disease that sparks from isolation. This is really a worrisome issue for imitating relationships.
To sum up, despite having numerous drawbacks, no one can afford to turn face from this ever-fast modern technology that has
to facilitate our lives.

10) Some experts believe that it is better for children to begin learning a foreign language at primary
school rather than secondary school. Do the advantages of this outweigh its disadvantages?
It is true that language acquisition is a complex process. Therefore, it is advisable to teach a foreign language at elementary
school rather than secondary. According to me, the merits of this notion outnumbered its demerits.
To embark on, there are numerous benefits of teaching a foreign language to children at an early age. First of all, children have
a receptive mind with good grasping power. This age is the learning stage of life. Whatever is learned in childhood, can
remember longer in life. Besides that, children are less egoistic and are not afraid of committing a mistake in learning. As failures
are the pillars of success while continuous practicing they may attain a reasonable level of language. Undoubtedly, a language
consists of different dialects, grammatical rules, intonations, denotation, functions syntax, and style. By practicing these, a child
can possess unmatchable linguistic skills. Secondly, everyone is in a mad race to fly board in this modern scenario, and
possession of a foreign language equips them to communicate freely for easy survival. Moreover, polished communication skills
have become a need for the hour of the cutthroat competitive world.
However, it is also a fact that going to school, doing homework, and taking part in extra-curricular activities is itself a time-
consuming activity for students. If they are exposed to regular language teaching sessions that will make them pressurized and
psychological illness. This type of burden will hamper their physical, mental, and psychological growth.
To conclude, even though, teaching a foreign language may aggravate their existing burden preparing the young mind for
further survival has become mandatory by imparting linguistic skills.
 
11) Most school offers some type of physical education program to their students. Why is it
important? Should physical education classes be required or optional?

Physical education programs are having paramount importance in a school curriculum, therefore, there have been a number of
opinions, that physical education should be compulsory because of its mental and physical health benefits for a student.
However, some oppose it. I will discuss both types of opinions before a conclusion.
To begin with, undoubtedly, it has been proved that physical activities are part and parcel of healthy life. Students who are
exposed to these types of physical exercises can increase their stamina and resistance power. According to medical science,
the Strong immune system helps to prevent certain diseases like diabetes, obesity, and indigestion. It not only improves the
stamina of the body but also makes one mentally strong. Besides that, A recent study has revealed that indulgence in these
activities does not let the students sneak time for electronic gadgets.
Furthermore, physical programs are very helpful in inculcating the values of team spirit, cooperation, and coexistence.
Therefore, the array of benefits makes it an inevitable part of the school’s curriculum…
On the other hand, there are situations and certain circumstances when a physical program needs to be sacrificed. Students
with certain disabilities and illnesses should not be forced to be part of this. Their impairments prevent them from being active
and physically enthusiastic. Indeed, there is the requirement to have it optional but it is also imperative to understand that they
should be equipped with any other educational aspects like computer numeracy and soft skills.
In conclusion, physical education should not be optional since it provides physical and mental growth to a student but the
circumstances of impaired candidates should be kept in view.
Note: To address each and every question in a statement is highly advisable for the high score.
 
12) What are the main reasons and solutions for re-offend?
Every country has its own laws to combat crime and criminals. However, nowadays, it is quite apparent that many criminals
repeat crimes even after being punished. It has really become a matter of concern because of multiple reasons and according
to me, this kind of problem should be addressed immediately.
To start with, undoubtedly, these criminals are influenced by many reasons like social isolation, unemployment, psychological
disabilities, and lack of education. Unfortunately, they are subjected to humiliation very frequently by society people which
disturbs them mentally and puts them in a constant state of depression. The imbalanced mental condition never lets them get
rid of a criminal record. Moreover, their past criminal background leaves them in the lurch of unemployment. While finding no
way to meet their both ends, they start following the same path of destruction. Lack of knowledge and skills is the other
contributing factor.
It is true that there is no problem without the solution. The government should get up from a long slumber and initiate
rehabilitation programs for them in which they should be given vocational training for self-employment. The other sustainable
approach is psychological nourishment where they can be exposed to regular spiritual and religious lectures. That will help
them to keep them away from criminal activities. Moreover, the individual should do something on the grassroots level by
remaining sympathetic towards them as Gandhi Ji said; Hate the sin, not the sinner.
Indeed, the aforesaid measures are highly required to curb this problem as a stitch on time saves nine.

13) Every year several languages die out. Some people think that this is not important because life
will be easier if there are fewer languages in the world. To what extent do you agree or disagree
with this opinion?
Language is the best way of communication. However, it is seen that many languages have disappeared in this modern era.
There are people who believe that it will be convenient if there are fewer languages across the globe. I also support this
opinion to a greater extent.
To start with, in the justification of my notion, first of all, the fewer the languages, the easier the communication. There will be
no language barrier and exchange of ideas among people which will ultimately help in developing harmonious relationships.
Besides that, it will not only result in a flourished relationship among the masses but also make political relations strong as
there will be more chances of exchanging scientific research and invention.
Moreover, having fewer languages will prove a boon for students and businessmen. Survival in other countries will be
convenient. Hence, the disappearance of certain languages seems to have a more positive impact on the world.
However, to some extent, it is an irrefutable fact that language diversity shows the richness of culture and tradition. Fewer
languages mean less linguistic skills. These languages are the identity of certain communities and tribes because languages are
closely associated with the culture of individuals and the devastation of these vernacular languages will take a toll on diverse
cultures.
To sum up, although, it seems to be necessary to save regional languages the declining barriers of languages will result in good
psychological relationships among people.

14) Some people say that the Government should break down all the historic buildings and replace
them with modern buildings. Do you agree or disagree?
It is an undeniable fact that every country’s monuments and historic sites are their heritage. Surprisingly, there are some who
feel it is less valued and want the government to pull it down. In my opinion, these are the greatest assets of every country and
deserve respectful attitudes by citizens.
To embark on, in the justification of my notion, every country has its own cultural history that exhibits old civilization. These
historic sites are priceless and irreplaceable. This is the only way to appraise the next generation about our ancestors and their
sacrifices. Moreover, visiting these locations will help us to learn from our ancestor’s lapse and provide a better course of
action.
Furthermore, these locations are the best source of revenue income for the government. Tourists visit different places and their
spending helps the government to improve the Infrastructure of the country. Moreover, tourists show their interest in
purchasing handicrafts which results in the growth of a small-scale industry. It increases the flow of foreign money. Above all
questions, it is quite apparent that tourist visits lead to good bonding among people across the world.
In conclusion, I feel that preserving historical sites means saving the history of the country. It has Paramount importance
because of its array of benefits for existing and forthcoming generations.
