Writing Feedback / IELTS;Some people think parents should read or tell stories [8]

Q: Some people think parents should read or tell stories to children, while others think parents need not do that, as children can read books, watch TV or movies by themselves. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

The attitude of children towards society is majorly based on the knowledge acquired from books or through electronic media such as TV and movies. Some believe that parents have the responsibility of reading stories for their children while others oppose it with that children have the capability in reading or understanding things on media, so parents have any role in such matters. Here are some of the pros and cons to these beliefs.

Parents are considered as the first teachers to their kids and they can easily influence and shape children's thought process due to their intimate bonding with them . Importantly, they can convey the right information from the vast knowledge of books and media in a precise way. In addition, parents can get a chance to broaden their children's views by discussing various elements while telling stories. Furthermore, they can teach about communication skills such as usage of vocabulary, reading methods and even listening abilities. On the contrary, children may develop dependent attitude if parents help in such activities and they will acquire parents' attitude and behavior because of not getting an opportunity to think in a different direction.

Children will accomplish their unique individuality by making their self decisions and judgements if they are allowed to read and watch on their own. Moreover, it will help them to improve their concentration and dedication which in turn bring major changes in their academic progress. In addition, the creativity and imaginations will be moulded according to the their own experiences and perceptions. On the other hand, they will develop their own opinions without knowing about the positive and negative elements which will impact their personality development.

To summarize, I can say that both approaches have their own advantages and disadvantages but parents have the major impact on the development of positive attitude in children as they guide them in each element. However, parents should act in such a way that the learning abilities and independent characters of children should not be compromised.

Likewise, females do receptionist jobs efficiently due to their kind and polite mannerisms which is the crucial factor in such jobs. In physically demanded jobs like mechanical works or in agricultural fields, it is better not to give opportunities for females due to their feminine characteristics.

Writing Feedback / IELTS;Some people think parents should read or tell stories [8]

Q: In order to learn a language well, we should also learn about the country as well as the cultures and lifestyles of the people who speak this language. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?

Language plays an important role as it is the only way of communicating channel among people. There is a belief that people have to learn about the nation's values and the characteristics of native speakers when learning a foreign language. I completely agree with them and here are some of the supporting views.

The rich history has been transferring from generations to generations in the form of books and it is being preserved by people in the form of their traditional script. So, the past events and the values of a nation are being exemplified through its language. Indians do not work on 2nd of October during every year in order to show the respect towards Their Father of Nation, Mahatma Gandhi Ji. If learners make fun of that day without knowing its significance, it may lead into patriotic feeling between nations. Likewise, there are many religious festivals in India which should be experienced by foreigners before learning the local languages because it will eliminate the chances of misinterpretation and misunderstandings between them and locals.

Furthermore, learners can get a chance to use language accurately and appropriately if they know the lifestyles of locals. Tourists cannot wish Indian ladies by shaking hands because it is not accepted in their customs.Likewise, foreigners' major foods contain pork and beef but these animals have religious values in Indian custom. Moreover, native speakers' accent varies because of having different dialects and nuances for them which will be understand be having a deep insight into their way of lifestyles. Lastly, non-native speakers language skills also depends on the climatic conditions of the local area because it has some effect on tongue twist.

To summarize, I can say that country history and the lifestyles are crucial factors in learning a language because they direct the learner in a precise way so that they can learn it in an organised way.

please correct it.
Thanks.

Writing Feedback / GRE Analytical: 'fields of study'; everybody has the right to decide for himself [6]

Introduction: Education can be contemplated as the process of learning new information and skills theoretically or practically. There is a belief that academic institutions have the right to discontinue the curricular programme for incapable students. Here are some of my views.

Body:
Institutions should check for the real cause of their less performance--teaching methods or personality problems
teaching methods-a) while teaching, consider the level of all students but not only brilliant
b) engage dull students in discussions with their co-students who are good at problem solving tasks -can get a chance to broaden their knowledge
c) create a sense of competitive spirit in such students by motivational programs
personality problems- a) eliminate their fear and inferiority complex by continuous exposure to seminars or debates, even if they do not perform well
b) if they are not developing interest, try to stimulate them by giving rewards
c) give awareness about the consequences of illiterate people in this modern world.
d) if they are not capable to memorize the things, try to implement web-based teaching facilities to make them more comfortable

Conclusion: To summarize, I can say that school management have the responsibility in taking care of all the students regardless of their capabilities because they are considered as the foundation for a good society. Teachers can easily shape student' thinking process and make them more productive because students treat them as their role models.

Firstly,in 1868-1883, a place of a nearly pear shaped white portion was under development which is towards the West end of Cherlywood Park and Golf Course. In the following 1883-1922 period, Chorleywood Station was constructed which was in horizontal lines area at the west end of Park and it extended towards south region. In a similar way, the place around Chorleywood Station which is in black shade was improved during 1922-1970.
