Writing Feedback / IELTS--politicians and scientists, who are more important to the society [3]

Some people say politicians promote the development of society. However others believe that it is scientists who have more influence on the world.
Discuss both views and give your opinion.

If the society can be compared as a piece of artwork, then the politicians are the craftsmen who measure the size of the art and frame it into the best condition to display its delicacy, while the scientists are the artists who draw on the blank and decorate with colors. Technically, it is hard to conclude that whose influence overtakes the other when both of them are so indispensable to the society.

Politicians, who are elected by citizens to represent their wills to manage their countries, devote their energies to enforce the regulations to maintain the social harmony and make decisions that can affect the national ups and downs in the future. Primarily, their interactions with other national leaders in the international affairs can determine the relationship between countries and the global cooperation. Meanwhile, their political proposals of tax and health insurance can influence the national economic development. Moreover, their personal charming in the pubic speeches can inspire millions of people to work the best of them and return to the society.

Although the scientists, whose space is narrowed to laboratories and academic journals by normal people superficially, might not be renowned as public celebrities as politicians, their jobs mark every milestone in human history. Without their endeavor in exploration and experiments, we are still the chimpanzees who use the wood to light a fire and walk with four limbs on the ground. The inventions like computers, televisions and airplanes drive us into better living standards with the technological fuels to accelerate the speed, which can never be achieved by the politicians.

In conclusion, both politicians and scientists are crucial in the development of society; the world can only thrives in both the guidance of politicians and the contributions of scientists.

Writing Feedback / Air travel only benefits the richest people; airplane development - IELTS [2]

Air travel only benefits the richest people, majority people take no advantage from development of airplane.To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Almost as soon as the aircraft was invented, people have never stopped their efforts in air traveling industry. Far less certain, however, is whether the endeavor in the development of airplane is particular served for wealthy minority or the normal majority?

While it is unclear if the progress achieved in the airline industry can actually change the lives of common people, it does decrease their cost of air travel for them. The intense competition between the different airline companies resulted from the advanced airplane manufacturing technology, forces the companies to offer discounts in air fares to stabilize their original market and attract new customers. Therefore the available cheap tickets expand the choices of majorities who focus on economical travel rather than the efficiency. In addition, the convenience of short-time travel provided by airplane is preferred to long-time journey on train when it comes to long-distance. Furthermore, as improvement of the people's living quality, air travel is no longer the privilege of rich people. Even some economical airline companies accentuate their target on ordinary people with advertising of low-cost airline tickets.

Despite the growing popularity of air travel, they still pose a huge budget for majority people. In some underdeveloped areas, it might take several years in saving before people can afford their first-time air tickets. Thus it is unrealistic for them to cheer for the achievement of airline development when it is so disconnected from their lives. It seems only the rich people who have bunch of leisure and spare cheques deserve the chance to enjoy the prosperity of airline.

From my own perspective, it might be exaggerated if we praise the progress on airplane for benefiting majority people, but given the frequency at which people travel through airplane due to the globalization, the air travel will have significant impacts in our lives.
