IMPORTANT WRITING ESSAYS WITH ANSWERS FOR IELTS

1.When a country develops its technology,the traditional skills and ways of life die out.It is pointless to try and keep them alive.To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?

SAMPLE ANSWER:

Traditions are the heart and soul of a country's culture.Traditional skills are the building blocks of civilization.These are the skills which are developed automatically to suit the needs of the people.It has been well said that necessity is the mother of invention.The same holds true in the case of traditional skills as well.

When people want to accomplish same task,they develop their own method of doing it and it is this invention that takes the form of a skill.These skills are inherited by people from one generation to the other.Along the way,sometimes due to technological developments or neglect or lack of interest by the young people ,these skills die out.They dry up on the hot sands of time.These skills then no longer attract the people.These craftsmen have to turn from pillar to post for earning their bread and butter.

I,for sure,do not agree with the motion that as technology develops it is pointless to try and keep our traditional skills alive.Traditional skills reflect the glory of our rich culture.They remind us of the lives of the people who followed them with religious devotion.Moreover,the ideas behind the traditional skills can act as stepping stones for future inventions and researches.

For instance,weaving khadi or handspun cotton is a traditional skill of India,many people live below the poverty line.Traditional skills can help them in earning at least one square meal a day.These kills do not need much investment.

Conservation of traditional skills does not mean that we have to shield them unnecessarily.Modern technology has transformed the way we live today.It has made the most distant dreams of man come true.But in spite of all this,we must forget that traditional skills are relevant even today there are countless lovers of these skills and crafts.Whatever heights we may scale,we must not forget our roots;the traditional skills.

2.With the increase in the number of women working nowadays the major problem that is coming up is juvenile delinquency.To what extent do you agree?

SAMPLE ANSWER

There is no doubt in the fact that today's children feel more neglected as compared to the children in earlier times.Earlier it was a custom that man was the bread winner and woman was for home and hearth.She used to give more time to children.Home was the first school and values were the foremost things taught to a child by his mother.

Nowadays,with more and more women working,television has become the first school and values have taken a back seat.Everything like serials,songs,cartoons and violent movies are being viewed by today's children.Moreover,there is none at home to monitor his T.V viewing.

The mind of a child is very delicate,innocent and immature.So many thoughts enter his mind when he watches the dirtiness and criminality shown in newspaper,magazines and television.A working woman is so tired after a day's work that she has no time and energy for her child.Workplace bullying and pressures of global competition are the other factors that consume the mental energy of a woman.When the child knows that his parents are busy in their working schedules he takes the wrong path because that is the easiest path.He feels that rather than working and earning it is better to loot and earn as it involves adventure.A child does not know the consequences of crime.Drugs,drinks,casinos and gun culture are a passion for him.Books,knowledge,career,hard work and success elude him.

The only way out is that till the age of about 16 years a child should not be left all alone.He should have either his parents or grandparents to attend him and supervise him.His energies should be channelised in such a way as to ensure all round personality development.Character,ethics and morals are what he needs to be told again and again.Indoor or outdoor sports and healthy T.V viewing in the presence of a senior member of the family is very essential.

CUE CARDS ABOUT LAWS AND A THING YOU HAVE PLANNED TO BUY

1. DESCRIBE DIFFERENT TYPES OF LAWS IN YOUR COUNTRY

-Which laws people obey?
-How effective they are in maintaining law and order?
-Difference in previous and current laws?

SAMPLE  ANSWER:

There are two major categories of law in my country,criminal law and civil law.Criminal laws protect citizens of my country from violent crimes like murder,terrorism,dowry and so on.Civil laws cover offences pertaining to income tax,sales tax,traffic,company's law, and so on.Laws in country are updated from time to time and the changes are known as amendments in the law.There is a lengthy procedure for amending or creating any law at state or national level.

According to me,laws in my country are reasonably effective in maintaining law and order.I firmly believe that efficiency of law depends upon the clarity provided in its clauses and the awareness prevailing about that law in general public.Here, the support of police and the judicial courts are essential in maintaining a crime free state.Finally, we can also see many new laws are being introduced in the last few years responding to the call of the hour.Some of them are the cyber law and the domestic violence law.The former is being used to protect online privacy and safety of computer users in my country because frauds of hacking email accounts,banking accounts and credit card accounts are increasing every day.Second, the domestic violence law is introduced to protect women,children and other vulnerable members from aggressive and violent members of their own family.

In my country, I have observed that many people obey laws to live as law abiding citizens.However,there are some people who often disobey anti-piracy laws and tax laws.Unfortunately, piracy is a black label on our country.It is slowly gripping the entire music and book publication industries.Our people often 'rush' to buy cheap books and CD's just to save some money, but they do not understand that the money they pay to that pirated book or CD sellers go to the mafias operating the network and not the author or artist who had worked hard behind that book or music album.In addition, we all know that, if we financially strengthen the mafias, how dangerous they can be for our country and society.

2. TALK ABOUT A THING  YOU HAVE PLANNED TO BUY IN THE NEAR FUTURE

-Describe the thing?
-How it looks like?
-Why you want to buy it?
     
                      OR

SAMPLE  ANSWER:

I have always been allured by the fancy, attractive and versatile electronic gadgets.It seemed like the chase for the best electronic device is endless as a new product comes in the market almost every day.I would like to buy a new laptop for me in near future.Actually, I have been using a laptop for the last 3 years and the laptop has been serving me well till the time.However, now I need some advance features that my current laptop does not offer.I am planning to buy a laptop of IBM.I saw some laptops in the sale outlets of some companies before a few days and I short listed this brand.I need a laptop with at least 200 GB memory, 3 GB RAM and at least 4 USB ports.I saw such features in the products offered by these companies.Also, it comes with an in-built web cam, optical drive and 7 in 1 card reader.This is an important device because this enables the laptop to read memory from other sources as well.Moreover, the laptop comes with some Pre-installed software and genuine Window Vista Premium operating system.These features make the laptop even more desirable compared to other products.In spite of having all the required features, the gadget is not heavy to carry and it is very attractive.I need this laptop because I can use it while I am traveling.Many a time I need to give presentations and I also need to surf the internet.Both these functions can be easily carried out with the help of this laptop.I am planning to buy this laptop in the coming festival season because companies come with attractive offers to promote their sales.I would like to take advantage of that and thus, the laptop is on the top of my buying list in this festive season.On top of it, the laptop that I liked had very elegant yet sober color and textured body.These features will certainly distinguish me when I give a presentation in front of my business associates.
