  Some people think governments are responsible for people’s health. Others believe it is an individual’s responsibility. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion. Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience. Write at least 250 words. The government is considered to be responsible for public health. While others think that people are responsible for their own health. In my view, public health is a shared responsibility. Governments are obligated to safeguard citizens’ health. They possess the resources and authority to enforce regulations that promote healthier lifestyles. For example, imposing taxes on sugary drinks, banning smoking in public spaces, and funding vaccination programs have significantly reduced the prevalence of diseases in many countries. Moreover, access to affordable healthcare is a fundamental right, and without state support, vulnerable groups such as the poor or elderly may be left untreated, l...

  International tourism has brought enormous benefits to many places. At the same time, there is concern about its impact on local inhabitants and the environment. Do the disadvantages of international tourism outweigh the advantages? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience. Write at least 250 words. The growth of international tourism has undeniably brought significant benefits to various destinations. However, alongside these advantages, there is a growing concern regarding the potential negative impact on local inhabitants and the environment. In my opinion, international tourism leads to the exploitation of local resources. On the other hand, it helps in economic growth and promoting peace. One major concern is the potential exploitation of local resources. Uncontrolled tourism development may result in overcrowding, degradation of natural landscapes, and depletion of resources such as water and energy. Additionally, ...

Further, more than a third of participants believe that they feel nervous and tired when in stress.  The most highlighting symptom of stress as responded by 40% of participants (both adults and teenagers) is “feeling angry”. Almost equal number of respondents (more than 35%) believe that they feel nervous and tired during a stressful period. Contrary to the lesser number of youngsters (around 32%), a large number of adults (that is more than 40%) are reporting that their stress level increases as a symptom of stress.  Furthermore, approximately one third of teenagers are of the opinion that they want to cry during their stres...

The diagram illustrates the process that is used to manufacture bricks for the building industry. Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features and make comparisons where relevant. Write at least 150 words.  The diagram shows how bricks are made for the building industry.  Overall, brick manufacturing consists of seven consecutive steps. First the raw material, clay, which lies just below the surface of the soil in certain clay-rich areas, has to be dug up by a digger. Then the lumps of clay are placed on a metal grid in order to break up the big chunks of clay into much smaller ones, which fall through the metal grid onto a roller, whose motion further segregates the bits of clay. Sand and water are added to make a homogeneous mixture, which is then either formed in moulds or cut into brick-shaped pieces by means of a wire cutter. These fresh bricks are then kept in a drying oven for at least 24 and a maximum of 48 hours, several dozens if not hundred...

 The diagrams below show the site of a school in 2004 and the plan for changes to the school site in 2024. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant. Write at least 150 words.  The two pictures compare the layout of a school as it was in the year 2004 with a proposed site design for the year 2024. Overall, it is clear that the main change for 2024 involves the addition of a new school building. The school will then be able to accommodate a considerably larger number of students. In 2004, there were 600 pupils attending the school, and the two school buildings were separated by a path running from the main entrance to the sports field. By 2024, it is expected that there will be 1000 pupils, and a third building will have been constructed. Furthermore, the plan is to join the two original buildings together, creating a shorter path that links the buildings only. As the third building and a second car park will be...

  1.The government's investment in arts, music and theatre is a waste of money. Governments should invest these funds in public services instead. To what extent do you agree with this statement?   It is believed that financing activities related to art, music and theatre by governments is misspending and these investments should be rather spent on public services. I strongly disagree with this because these creative activities promote tourism as well as keep the mental well-being of people in a better state. 2. While recruiting a new employee, the employer should pay more attention to their personal qualities, rather than qualifications and experience. To what extent do you agree or disagree?   It is claimed that during the hiring process, more importance should be given to individual attributes of a new recruit, instead of educational and professional background. In my opinion, qualifications and previous work experience are of increased consideration because an em...

  The teaching of Information Technology (computers) has become a standard part of the curriculum in most secondary schools. The same is now happening in primary schools, where children as young as six are learning how to use computers. However, there is a danger that IT skills are being taught at the expense of more basic skills. To what extent do you agree or disagree? It has been observed that technology-related modules are not only being taught in a significant number of high schools, but now they are also a part of the syllabus in educational institutes teaching much younger children. Some people fear that this shift in the course structure is compromising other essential skills. I disagree with this perspective as it has become vital to be able to properly use technology in our daily lives and also the fact that teaching material should be modified based on the challenges anticipated in the future.  During the last decade, computers have become an integral part of our ev...

  Many serial dramas on TV (e.g. ‘soap operas’ or ‘soaps’) play an important social role. Do you agree or disagree? It is believed that television serials have a key role to play in a society. I agree with this belief not only due to the fact that these programs promote positivity but they also highlight issues that exist in a society.  Dramas on television are often found to be promoting happy thoughts among the audience. Since people seek entertainment from such shows, the themes are generally found to be uplifting. In other words, while these programs serve as a tool to bring the family members together, they also lighten up the mood of the ones watching. A good example to further elaborate my point of view would be sitcoms. They prove to be a source of a good laugh after a hectic day at work and as a result they promote a positive vibe among individuals and families.  Another key role being played by such programs is that they are found to be uncovering issues in a so...

  1. Governments should spend more money on providing STEM education in schools than on music and art because employers need more people with a STEM background than music or art. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion? It is being argued that governments should prioritize STEM education on arts subjects when it comes to the budget allocations for schools. I agree with this considering the employability requirements and also the fact that STEM education relates to hard skills which demand proper teaching and trainings.   Budget allocations are usually prioritized based on the benefit anticipated from the spent. Same is the case with the education sector, with employers requiring certain skills from the applicants, it creates a demand for the supply of those particular individuals in the job market. Hence, it becomes a responsibility of the government to ensure that the required talent is present in the labour pool. Therefore, this high spent on in-demand...

  Children who are brought up in families that do not have large amounts of money are better prepared to deal with the problems of adult life than children brought up by wealthy parents. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion? It is often argued that when it comes to facing challenges as grownups, children raised in families with financial constraints out-perform ones with a wealthy background. I agree with this because of the fact that less fortunate children are found to spend wisely, and they also believe in self-reliance. A common issue being faced by many adults is managing the expenditure. In other words, nowadays, spending money is considered as important as earning it. Individuals who come from a lower middle-class background have spent their youth with limited resources and finances, this causes, or rather forces, them to be cautious in spending money. As a result, even after growing up, the habits of smart spending remain embedded in the sub-conscious p...

  In many cities of the world, traffic congestion is a serious problem. What are the causes and what can be done about it? Traffic jams in urban areas are becoming a serious concern for people around the world. This is usually caused by the increase in vehicles on the road and improper traffic management. Some key solutions to this include encouraging the use of public transport, and implementing strict control measures through traffic police.  There are several causes of traffic congestion in cities with the number of vehicles on the road being a major contributing factor. In other words, the more automobiles on the road the more chances of being stuck in traffic. While, automotive sector, in order to boost their sales, launch and promote new car and bike models every year, the roads and infrastructure do not expand accordingly. Hence, this disproportion in the growth of the two interlinked factors result in traffic jams. For example, cities in Pakistan witnessed a significan...

  Some young people like to take a gap year before going on to university. Others prefer to begin their university studies immediately after finishing secondary school. What are the advantages and disadvantages of taking a gap year? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience. Write at least 250 words.  (Taking a gap year means taking a year off between high school and university to travel or work) It is observed that some high school graduates indulge in a year-long break before pursuing higher education. Some key advantages of this include gaining exposure and developing new skills, but on the downside, it can be costly and poses a risk of discontinuation of studies.  Taking a break from studies after finishing secondary education can prove beneficial in quite a few ways. Firstly, by travelling and working part-time jobs, these young individuals get themselves exposed to the actual working environment and gain pra...

  Many businesses in the world today are run by family members. Do the advantages of family-run businesses outweigh the disadvantages? It is observed that a significant number of businesses are actually family run. These type of businesses have certain advantages such as trust among the owners but on the downside, lack of expertise and limited financial resources are some key disadvantages.  The element of trust among the key stakeholders of a business is vital not only in the success of the company but also for it is sustainability. When it comes to a family owned business, trust issues usually do not exist as the board members are related to each other. The confidence generated through this trustful relationship in the company’s leadership team supports in decision making and ensures smooth implementation of new ideas. A good example would be of Tetra Pak, a leading global organization in food and beverages sector is actually owned by the Rausing family of Sweden, and the le...

  Some parents buy their children whatever they ask for, and allow their children to do whatever they want. Is this a good way to raise children? What consequences could this style of parenting have for children as they get older? It is observed that a few families give their children a free hand by providing them whatever they demand and letting them do whatever they wish. This might not be considered a suitable upbringing style as when these children grow up, they are a misfit in the society.  Parenting is a challenging task and suitable techniques are required to do so, as the consequences can affect future generations. Some parents are found to be strict towards their children and some do not seem to care. The key to raising children well is in having a balanced approach. It is a parent’s responsibility to teach their off-springs about what is right and what is wrong. Also, when it comes to fulfilling a child’s wishes, parents must know when to refuse and when to agree. Th...

  In education and employment, some people work harder than others. Why do some people work harder? Is it always a good thing to work hard? It is often found that some people tend to work harder as compared to others in order to succeed in their academic and professional goals. Since every person is unique, and the environment they are in also vary, working hard sometimes becomes an only option. Although, at times, working smart is what is required instead of working hard.  Each of us are different from one another in terms of personal traits and are facing unique types of challenges. This is to say that, when it comes to task achievement either as a student or an employee, some people lack in intelligence, a few might not be well experienced, and others might not have prior knowledge in field. Hence, in order to accomplish their goals, these individuals have to deal with their shortcomings by working harder as compared to others. For example management trainees are observed t...
