Writing Feedback / What sort of knowledge and skills that universities should provide? [3]

Some people think that universities should provide graduates with the knowledge and skills needed in the workplace.Others think that the true function of a university should be to give access to knowledge for its own sake,regardless of whether the course is useful to an employer.

What,in your opinion,should be the main function of a university?

In all over the world, universities have a great importance of preparing students to future work life.Therefore, higher educational institutions must ensure students with valuable and necessary knowledge and skills.However,there are some people who don't agree with this idea and argue that universities have to provide knowledge for its own favour and the efficiency and benefits of these knowledges for students' future job are not in liability of universities.

In todays' world,the employers looking for much qualified and skilled workers.Because,it is more efficient in terms of diminishing training course expenditures of new employers.In my opinion,whether the universities prepare students for future and plays an instrumental role in finding better and suitable job,then they must provide students with certain knowledges.Meanwhile, they have to supply student with practical and experimental activities on their course rather than unnecessary knowledges for their next job life.If universities don't have a suitable material and technical basis for implementing these activities,then they may sign an agreement with appropriate private and public organizations for training students on their course.Alternatively,all of the students have to look forward to doing a practice regardless of universities policy.From this point of view,they may find practical and sometimes unpaid jobs on their course while they study.By this way,they can improve their working abilities and gain practice chance of theorical subjects.

On the other hand,some people support the idea that universities must teach only in frame of their own benefits regardless of students future.This policy includes some addition subjects and knowledges which are not directly useful for their course or future job.They believe that the university is not the place of education which solely gives a specific knowledges but also provides other subjects for enhancing overall outlook of student.

In conclusion,in today's world,all of the higher education institutions must give a top priority to prepare skilled workers for future.Because,the modern labour market needs much more qualified skilled and experienced workers.

Writing Feedback / IELTS-Fixed Punishment for each type of crime?or Consider circumstances & motivation? [5]

Some people believe that there should be fixed punishments for each type of crime.Others,however,argue that the circumstances of an individual crime,and the motivation for commiting it,should always be taken into account when deciding on the punishment.

Throughout the history ,crime and punishment always has been a controversial matter.In this regard,some group of people always argue that there must be constant and firm penalties for each type of offence .While others think that all of the crimes have to be investigated exactly as well as circumstances and motivation should be considered for judging and punishing them fairly.

Some people believe that penalties have to be determined beforehand for every type of offences.They claim that it simplifies judging criminals and by this way similar crimes can be gathered under same codes.It is believed that an identical penalty for an individual crime may stop a criminal person to commit a crime by reconsidering the consequences of its behaviour.Moreover,they support this idea that to take into account motivation for commiting crimes and circumstances create stalemate situation and redundant delay in judicial process.

On the other hand,some people including me,believe that all types of crimes must be investigated with great care and all of the internal and external factors should be considered.Let's take two murderer for an example who has killed someone.One of them,have commited it for the aim of self-defence,while other has done it because of robbery,torture,aggression or maybe merely for enjoyment as maniac.In my opinion, taking into account both of these murders as a same type of crime and penalizing them in the same way would be injustice.Therefore,it is very essential explore situation of crime and whole of the causes which have bring about to these bad consequences.I believe that just decisions can be made only after well-organized investigations by considering all of the influencing factors.

In conclusion,crime and punishment have always existed and the main thing is not to punish but to penalize fairly.

Writing Feedback / IELTS; CHANGE or ROUTINE LIFESTYLE? Which one is better? [5]

IELTS TASK: Some people prefer to spend their lives doing the same things and avoiding changes. Others, however think that change is always a good thing

In today's world,the change is an inevitable part of everyday life.The social environment in which we live changes daily,so that some people try to keep pace with these changes.Other group of people choose to live more quietly and they almost spend their lives doing the same things.

First of all,a humanbeing differs from each other in terms of character.So that,there are a lot of people in the world that don't like to change their routine life and feel themselves anxious when life controlling goes out of their hands.Perhaps they feel that routine gives them opportunity to simplify and manage their life.Therefore,they are not fond of surprises or don't like to face new challenges.Usually,such people set their times for performing certain functions and do things in the same way all the time.They fear the uncertainty of the unknown and may associate change with negative outcomes.

On the other hand,people who are in favour of change may dislike the monotony of routine,seek adventure and like to explore new situations.They have an optimistic outlook to life and view change as a good thing.Change is always associated with forward thinking,technology,innovation,a modern lifestyle,youth etc.Meanwhile,change often means leaving traditional,simpler,purer ways of living behind and some people wishing to return to a time when things were supposedly better.Besides,people prefer change and try to be optimistic as a way out of problems that they experience in life.

In my opinion,change is unavoidable and necessary if someone wants to keep up with the fast pace of modern life.However, to become addicted to changes maybe partly bad,because it makes people whimsy and estrange them from realistic and valuable traditions.
