Writing Feedback / ( IELTS essay) Drop sports classes from school? [5]

Most of the schools are planning to replace sports and exercise classes with more academic sessions. What i s your opinion on this change? How is this change will affect children's life in your view?

Childrens' curriculum are becoming fat day by day. So many people would like remove sports from schools in order to help children to concentrate more on studies. However, being aware of the adverse impacts in children's present and future lives by dropping sports from the school curriculum, I am completely disagreeing with this idea.

Sports and exercises are indispensable part in schools. Children today are not even getting enough time to enjoy outdoor games because of lack of enough time after school, home works and tuition. Sport classes fulfill this need and they can maintain a healthy life style. Moreover, children can refresh their minds and relieves the stress and tensions of monotonous academic studies. By participating in sports, they learn about the rules in the sports and it help them to watch the live and telecast sports events.

Additionally, sports and games can help students to impart the valuable lessons, essential for the day-to-day and future lives. By participating in these, they can boost their communication skills, self-confidence, sportsman spirit, positive attitude, co-operation, ability to work as a team, co-ordination of mind and body and so on. These are very important in their future lives. These all qualities will enrich their personality and physical and mental health.

Dropping sports, classes may give students little bit more time to study the essential subjects. The sedentary life and lack of exercises lead to obesity and associated issues. Lack of interest in their studies may jeopardize the wish of elders, who want to see the students to concur heights in the future.

To conclude, although some people believe that removing sport classes may help the students to allocate more time for studies, the adverse impacts are drastic. Hence, it is better to maintain sports in schools to grow up students with good physical and mental health.

Writing Feedback / ( IELTS essay) Economical developments degrade Social values? [4]

Most countries develop their economies to improve the living standards. Some people afraid that, it will cause degradation of important social values. Do you think the advantages overweigh the disadvantages.

The developmental programs of a society bring with increase in living standards along with decreased social values. In this essay, I will explain why I feel the disadvantages of these changes overweigh the advantages.

Social values are important for a community as it provides equality and fairness. Most of the countries encourage immigration of skilled labors from different countries. It help the country in its economical developments. Lack of unity and co-operation between people in a cosmopolitan society, cause conflicts and creates problems in the host country. When the rights of the minorities are constantly neglected, it may leads to voice strikes and disturb the peace of the society.

Apparently, people are more attracted towards the success of people and their high standard of life. Nowadays, both parents are started working outside to raise the finance of the escalating expense of living. The workaholic life style may give tremendous support to the economical developments. However, the number of broken families, old age homes, unattended children and elder people are shooting up, neighbor relations and helping mentality trim down, the gap between haves and have-nots are ever widening.

Additionally, so many countries invite multinational companies, their products and services, and allow them to invest in their own countries, to improve the living status of their citizens. These companies bring with their own culture of consumption of fast foods, fast way of life, consumption of more unnecessary items, and promotion of international products. If it is uncontrolled, it may result in the monopoly of these firms and the distraction of the local culture and market. Craze for costly international products especially among youngsters may guide them to antisocial activities to meet the finance of these costly items.

To conclude, it is clear from the above discussion that, running after uncontrolled developments in different sectors, may cause drastic changes in the social values. Hence, I believe that the disadvantages overweigh the advantages.

Writing Feedback / ( IELTS essay) Child-care courses, best way to up date childcare? [6]

These days Parents are more concerned with their children's' up-bringing than before. Taking care of the children seems necessary. Child-care training course for parents can be the best way to update them with this matter. To what extent, do you agree or disagree with it? Give your opinion and where necessary give examples to support it

Today's children are tomorrow's citizens. It is the responsibility of the parents to bring them up as productive members as they are considered as the first teachers of a child. Some people believe that childcare training courses best way to teach the parents, how to handle these young minds, but, others oppose. However, I completely agree with the given notion.

To begin with, usually parents are grown up people with their own perceptions of life. Most of them leading leaving separately from their parents and don't know how to handle the children. These courses give them an opportunity to learn the details of childcare. This may enriches their mind with proper knowledge and these are very much beneficial for both parents and children. For instance, the right way of massaging an infant is unfamiliar to most of the parents. Through attending, these courses which highlight this and its right practice are make both parents and children happier.

Secondly, due to the popularity of nuclear families these parents hardly get a chance in their early life, how to look after a child. By following the instructions of the course, parents can overcome this. For example, the types of food given to a child during different stages of the child's growth can be learned through these classes and parents can provide nutritious healthy food to their children in a proper way and time duration.

Finally, there is an influence of generation gap in the way of caring the child. Previously, people are used to depend on the natural ways of is child caring by giving the warmth of the mother and the shade of the siblings. Young children learn skills, manners and discipline from their brothers or sisters, with are disappeared now. So parent should each them all these. Moreover, professional companies are taken over the natural food and ways of childcare. Therefore, it is increasingly pivotal to update young parents. To illustrate, the importance of breast milk is neglecting young mothers and these courses are helpful for them to come back to the natural ways.

To conclude, in my opinion, the right knowledge at right time will be beneficial for both parents and children. Hence, I strongly believe that this courses are the best way to update the child care knowledge in young parents.

Writing Feedback / ( IELTS essay) Advertisements promotes Quality or Quantity? [6]

Advertisement encourages consumers to buy in bulk, whereas it should promote high quality of the products sold. Do you agree or disagree?

Advertisements are pivotal in promoting the sales and services of goods. These sometimes motivate people to buy more than needed. However, I believe the companies should give more importance in the quality of their products than inspiring the people to buy more.

Undeniably, the ultimate aim of any company is to make maximum profits from minimum expense. In order to compensate the money spent on advertisements, they may trim down the quality of the products. It is more clearly visible in food items and cola beverages. Admittedly, the clever advertisements stimulate to consume more. It is more evident in festival occasions. During that period, the advertisements will be in plenty. Prize reduction offers are announced, if purchasing in full boxes. People are interested in saving in saving money and fall praying for these advertisements. They took the full box for a penny of servings. Nevertheless, in reality they are wasting their money, as the large quantities of products are not finishing until expiry date. Therefore, considering quantity only is not always good.

Undoubtedly, it is not only the prize, but also the quality matters while selecting a product. Although people may sometimes attracted towards the savings when buying in bulk, it is not a constant trend. People those who are realizing the quality of a product will continue to buy the good quality items. Through this way, they can indulge people to use an item. The sales of branded items are continuing the same level, hold the testimony for this statement. We should consider our real need, after sale services, credibility of a company before choosing a product.

To conclude, in my opinion, people may run after the cheap products and marginal benefits while taking in plenty. But, truly they are not beneficial always. Therefore, we should be careful in our selections. Companies should not forget that the aim of the firms and the advertisements are should be service to the society.

Writing Feedback / IELTS; Museums are meant for educating people or entertaining them? [3]

Some people think that museums should be enjoyable places to entertain people, while others believe that the purpose of the museum is to educate. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

Museums are places where old things related to history, culture, science and many other aspects of a country are preserving. People have different views in the function and role of museums. However, I believe museums could be both educational and entertaining.

Museums the old treasure houses of knowledge and wisdom are argued that, they are functioning mainly for educative purposes. The traditional coins, crafts, paintings and so on, are excellent sources of education especially for students and those who want to research on it. These things broaden our outlook and gives first hand information about the certain period. Foreign tourist visiting these spots, as a part of their tour to a country helps to collect more knowledge about the country's old ways of life. By seeing the old traditional items and reminders of primitive life will be a different experience for the students and more interesting than learning from the books.

On the other hand, museums should be entertaining also. People are interested to visit a museum not only to acquire wisdom but also to pass their leisure time. Since museums are entertaining, they can attract more people and increase their income. Imparting knowledge through museums will be far beneficial through entertaining, as it is more enjoyable and memorable, especially for children. The role of the museums in teaching visitors that they do not know previously is pivotal. Considerable amount of enthusiasm and entertainment can make by the various exhibits in the museum by attractive ways of explaining. The use of technologies to describe each in detail such as projectors, CDs and so on are favorable for visitors. For instance, a giant skeleton of skeleton of dinosaur with moving the mouth and light in the eyes and roaring sound is more interesting than a simple skeleton.

To conclude, it seems to me that, a good museum should be able to offer an interesting, enjoyable and educational experience, so that people can have fun to learn something at the same time.

Writing Feedback / ( IELTS essay) Doing jobs for a long spell ; Good or bad..? [3]

Some people work only a few months a year and take the rest of the time off to do whatever they like. To what extent the advantages of this arrangement over weigh the disadvantage.

The trends in the way of doing jobs are continuously undergoing changes nowadays. Some people prefer to work short period and taking rest in the remaining time. However, the advantages of this trend depend up on the type of the job and the perception of the people who choose it, as it has both benefits and drawbacks.

To begin with, working for a short period of time and taking off has a great favor of flexibility in some conditions. It gives minimum risk of exposure to the adverse conditions of the workplace while offering job security. For instance, if somebody is working in Antarctica, fighting with extreme cold, the choice of short period of work is a blessing for him. He can perform his job with perfection in the assigned period and the remaining period, he can move on to other places with better climatic conditions and enjoy life with his dear and near ones. Another point is that, if he is doing a very high salary job with extended hours, away from the family, this option will be favorable for them. They can limit their sufferings for a limited period; they can earn the livelihood, which is sufficient for the remaining months of the year together with constant job after a long gap. This will keep them relaxed and can maintain a healthy life style with high living standards.

On the other hand, the down side of it should not be neglected. People may become lazy as they took long gap. Since, many changes are taking place in each field, they may feel difficult to adapt with the new atmosphere and trim down their efficiency. Besides, if they find some other interesting jobs, or the company of friends, they may think it is better to stop the job. Most importantly, if they face financial problems, their living standards may reduce. The firm also suffers as the employee lost his proficiency in his task. It affects the productivity and profits of companies.

In short, a job with long gap has its own advantages and disadvantages. Since changes are inevitable in every field, let the people to make their own choice according to their perception, salary and so on, which decides the overweigh of advantages and disadvantages.

Writing Feedback / advantages & disadvantages of high rise apartments - (IELTS essay) [5]

Some say that people living in high-rise apartments are lonely and unhappy, while others say that it's advantageous to stay in high-rise apartments. Discuss advantages and disadvantages. Give your opinion.

Due to the increased demand of high rises and decreased availability of space, high rises are now mushrooming especially in cities. there are numerous advantages in living in a flat, the down side of this trend should not be neglected.

Undeniably, high rises satisfy the drastic demand of rentals in cities to an extent, they are excellent places for short stay. The prices of the flat are less compared to an individual house in the cities. Most importantly, it diminishes the demand of daily commuting and its associated stress and tensions. These places are blessings for people who are supposed to live and work away from their home. They can enjoy the facilities and high living standards, which are often offered by the urban life such as good hospitals, recreational facilities and so on. it relieves the stress of living away from their family members as they can enable to accommodate their family, dear and near ones with them. For instance, flats helps people to stay with their children and trim down the time of journey, fuel consumption, traffic block and all other related issues.

On the other hand, flats are place of congestion and insecurity, if not constricted and maintained in a good manner especially low rate flats. As these houses are following the same design, it is difficult to demolish or arrange according to the personal needs. Moreover, for anything and everything we have to depend on others and pay for it. For instance, the payment for water, removing garbage and transporting heavy things to and from the rooms payment is mandatory. As it is a high building it is away from the nature, and people may feel isolated. The neighborhood relations may vanish. Lack of proper parking facilities and relaxation facilities or loans may make their life more stressful. The disturbance from neighboring people may be resulted in lack of solitude and distraction in studies. For instance, if the neighbor is fond of playing T.V. louder, it may disturb the activities of all family members.

To conclude, it is undeniably true that, the high rises have both pros and cones. As far as I am concerned, I prefer to stay in flats for a short period, if it is unavoidable. Otherwise, I would like to live in individual houses.

Writing Feedback / IELTS-Elder people should be looked after by family members or professionals? [7]

In some countries people are not taking care of their elderly relatives - instead trained professionals are used to care for the elderly. Do you see this as a positive or a negative development?

Old age is an unavoidable condition and incurable disease. Nowadays young generation is interested to shift their elder relatives to old age homes where the service of the professionals is available. However, I feel that, it is a negative trend.

Life is not a bed of roses. Elder people in their young life faced a lot of hardships to bring up their children. They are the one who let us walk, speak and face the world. For young people caring their old relatives in their later lives is an excellent opportunity to show their gratitude for giving them a chance to see this wonderful world in very good manner.

Secondly, it is the moral duty of the young people to look after their older parents or relatives. Their attitude towards elder people is an example for the small children of the family and society. Through the behavior of their parents towards their grandparents indulge them the good qualities of how to behave with an old person, how to look after them and so on. it in turn favorable for the young generation as they become old, these small children will look after them in a better way, as they know how their parents interacted with their grandparents.

Lastly, in the evenings of life, these senior citizens deserve fondness and consideration from their own family members. Since they are more attached to their home and its surroundings, it will be a mental trauma for them to live in an old age home. The elder people like to see their children and children and spend time with them. It keeps them relaxed and provide fulfillment.

To conclude, in this materialistic world, people are becoming more selfish and run to achieve more. Still, we should understand the importance of the elder people and the hardships they overcome for us. Therefore, I feel, it is better to give the affection and attention of the family members and not the presence of professionals in the old age home.

Writing Feedback / ( IELTS essay) Both man and women should share domestic works..? [3]

Men and women employed in full-time jobs have to share evenly household chores and caring for children at home. Do you agree or disagree with this statement?

To adapt with the increased life expenses, nowadays, women and men are involved in fulltime works. It raises a question, whether they both are supposed to share their responsibilities inside the home or not. However, I totally agree with the given notion and explore it in detail.

To begin with, since women are putting their effort and time in increasing the financial status of the family, men are obliged to share her jobs inside the home. This sharing and caring helps to boost their relationship and both can perform domestic and professional tasks in a better way. This sharing pave way to wonderful memorable moments and this became sweet memories.

Additionally, the care and protection of both the parents are pivotal in the total developments of children. Although, women are experts in caring the children men can help her in cleaning, dish washing or even teaching the children. If all these works are assigned only to women, she can't do it perfectly and unable to maintain the right balance between the work and family. For a healthy life style, it is important. For instance, the works related to a party may led woman working late night and may disturbs her career next day. Sharing duties can make a difference.

Furthermore, distributing duties provide them with more free time and relaxation. They will not consider household work or profession as a burden and can enjoy both at the same time. The free time they can spend for some other purposes, such as playing with children, outing or shopping together, and so on. To illustrate, while woman is cutting and cleaning the fish, man can cut the ingredients for a fish curry and the extra time can be used for outing. Consequently, their total lives will be enjoyable and the children will be happy there. They will realize how to led a happy life and adjust family and profession in a right way.

To conclude, though the duties of both men and women are different inside the home, both should take the responsibility of fulfilling it with proper sharing and understanding. This will be a wonderful experience, and model for their children. Therefore, I feel, the duties inside the home should be evenly shared between both partners.

Writing Feedback / ( IELTS essay) Globalization:Negative sides should not be forgotten. [5]

Even though globalization affects the world's economies in a positive way, its negative side should not be forgotten. Discuss.

Globalization is changing all aspects of people around the globe considerably. While I am accepting its numerous positive impacts, its disadvantages are not totally negligible.

Undeniably, globalization brings nations together. Internet and e- commerce have made the end of time and space. Presently, anybody can exchange his or her culture and ideas with anybody at anytime anywhere, if within the circle of internet. Multinational companies offers more job opportunities, better products and services and boost the performance of local companies through competition. Due to business outsourcing a large number of skilled professionals especially, in IT field are enjoying high salary staying in their own countries. People can study, settle anywhere, they desire by following the rules of that country. Culture and language became similar and the world is shrinked in to a global village. For instance, we can see our youngsters are wearing Nike T-shirts and Addidas shoes, listening hip-hop music in their ipods and eat at K.F.C.

Nevertheless, we cannot keep a blind eye on its negative impacts on population. Due to business outsourcing local unemployment flourishes, this is recently happened in America. Multi-national companies destroyed the local market. Since the world became uniform in culture and language small languages and local cultures are diminished. Furthermore, the internet and social networking services like facebook and twitter, trim down the face-to-face communication. Developmental processes bring pollution, wastage and environmental damage with them. People, particularly, young generation is more attached to Western culture, fast foods and neglect their own culture and traditions. Besides, too much information from the internet make people more confused.

To conclude, though globalization is gaining ground all around the world, it is like a double-edged knife, which is having both pros and cons. We should be wise to choose the best out of it.

Is it better to discuss the both sides, pros and cons or discuss the given statement, ie, negative only, as it is not clearly mentioned to discuss both sides. THANKS IN ADVANCE.
