Two-way question

Q: Teenagers have problems at home and school. What difficulties are they facing now? What should parents and schools do to help them?

Answer:

This is a universally acknowledged fact that the upcoming generations are always considered to be as a nation builder. Teenager’s years are the most delicate years of a person’s life. It is believed that they usually face a lot of problems to share their difficulties with others so parents, as well as tutors, can be played a prominent role solve their problems. These points of view will be discussed in the forthcoming paragraphs.

It is certainly true that the person at his teenage is not able to adopt all things which can be easily caught by an adult. They face enormous problems in their academic and other extracurricular activities. For instance, most of the parents compel their pupils to choose a particular stream in which they have no interest. Thus, it puts a negative effect on their studies and future. Additionally, the teacher may be partially deal with some learners so that’s why they cannot understand all techniques in various technical subjects such as mathematics and science. Therefore, they lose their courage and cannot put their best efforts to achieve success in life.

However, the parents should give full freedom to children to select a field in their study. They also should spend enough time with their children so that they can gain knowledge about their traditions, customs and family history. Inclusively, the educational institution can organise sports events at least once a month so teenagers develop their traits like team-work, co-ordination, team-spirit and tolerance. It is crystallized that these measures will really help to boost up the confidence of teenagers.

To conclude, analyzing the above points, it has been proved that it is the responsibility of both parents as well as tutors to help them with every problem. It is undoubtedly true that teenagers are not fully mentally sturdy to take a crucial decision for their foreseeable future.

2022-08-17 19:01:15 Hi everyone! Again me with you

I just wanted to give some advice on how to prepare yourself for IELTS if you don't have heaps of money.

Depending on your country, IELTS can be extremely expensive. On top of that, it isn't just an expensive test - preparing for the test can also cost a fortune.

Here's my top tips for preparing for IELTS on a budget.

. Get free practice reading tests online (just start Googling) and study them yourself. Learning to do the reading test doesn't require any secret knowledge from teachers. Just doing practice tests and following your own common sense should be enough to prepare yourself.

. Get free listening tests online. Youtube has a bunch of listening tests from the Cambridge books. Just listen and practice. Again, there are minor tips you can learn from teachers, but honestly common sense and good English ability are more than enough.

. Practice speaking in full sentences and speak English all the time. Speak to your pet if you don't know anyone. Again, speaking doesn't require tips, it just requires you to speak normally in the style of a native speaker. No fancy tips are needed.

. For writing, first make sure your grammar is very solid at least to an intermediate level. You should know all the basics about verb tenses, conjunctions, punctuation etc. There are heaps of Youtube videos on this. Alternatively, you could try to pick up a grammar book. Intermediate level grammar is all you really need to learn to be able to write IELTS to a high standard.

. Learn how to structure task 1 writing online. There are heaps of free resources online for this.

. Learn how to structure task 2 writing online. Again - heaps of free stuff. Be careful though as not every online teacher knows what they are doing. I'd suggest looking for native speaker teachers who teach in a way that makes sense for you.

. Lastly, you should get some of your writing checked by an expert. There's no way to self-assess your writing, so on this point, it's probably worth spending a little bit of money to at least check where you are.

. If you really have no money and can't afford correction, there are some Facebook groups such as 'IELTS tips and tricks' where you might get some limited feedback from random teachers on your writing. It won't be detailed or consistent, but it's better than nothing.

Of course, if you aren't good at studying at home, and you have time and money, going to an IELTS school is a good idea.

Positive / Negative

Q: Some countries import a large amount of food from other parts of the world.
To what extent is this a postive or negative trend?

Answer:

Nations are increasingly importing food products and relying less on domestic supplies. In my opinion, though this has narrow economic drawbacks, it is a net positive.

The negative aspects of increased imports relate to domestic agriculture. In the United States, for example, there are trade agreements with a variety of countries enabling customers to purchase foreign products that cannot be locally grown, are only available seasonally or are prohibitively expensive. Any local farmers who rely on higher prices for specialised crops or expect a surge in sales when the seasons change, must now account for the global nature of agriculture. If they are not in a position to begin exporting to other countries themselves, there is a strong likelihood they will suffer a serious decline in their living standards and may have to consider the possibility of new employment.

However, the cases above are often mitigated with government subsidies and the benefits of imports for the average shopper are substantial. In the past, customers resigned themselves to a limited range of local produce, restricted by both geography and the seasons. Nowadays, imports make it possible to eat exotic fruits and vegetables that cannot be grown in one’s own country. Aside from the luxuries now available, there are also more utilitarian benefits. Countries with large populations and limited arable land, such as in Sub-Saharan Africa and the Middle East, can make deals that leverage their more abundant natural resources. The tangible result is that previously malnourished residents now have greater access to nutritious foods, which in turn raises both life expectancy and quality of life.

In conclusion, the limited economic collateral of a thriving import and export agricultural market do not outweigh the advantages gained for both affluent and underprivileged segments of a population.

Line Graph

Q: The graph below shows the amounts of waste produced by three companies over a period of 15 years.

Answer:

The line graph compares three companies in terms of their waste output between the years 2000 and 2015.

It is clear that there were significant changes in the amounts of waste produced by all three companies shown on the graph. While companies A and B saw waste output fall over the 15-year period, the amount of waste produced by company C increased considerably.

In 2000, company A produced 12 tonnes of waste, while companies B and C produced around 8 tonnes and 4 tonnes of waste material respectively. Over the following 5 years, the waste output of companies B and C rose by around 2 tonnes, but the figure for company A fell by approximately 1 tonne.

From 2005 to 2015, company A cut waste production by roughly 3 tonnes, and company B reduced its waste by around 7 tonnes. By contrast, company C saw an increase in waste production of approximately 4 tonnes over the same 10-year period. By 2015, company C’s waste output had risen to 10 tonnes, while the respective amounts of waste from companies A and B had dropped to 8 tonnes and only 3 tonnes.

2022-08-11 14:01:25 Hi guys

Let's talk about using passives.

Firstly, we need to know what passives are.

This is a verb structure that shows that the subject receives the action. The opposite of a passive is an active verb structure. In an active structure, the subject does the action.

Here are examples of active and passive sentences.

Active: Steven Spielberg directed Jurassic Park.
Passive: Jurassic park was directed by Steven Spielberg.

As you can see, active voice verbs are just 'normal'. Passive verbs use the structure 'be' + 'past participle'. The 'be' verb will change depending on the tense, so 'am, is, are' for present, 'was, were' for past etc.

It is true that passive voice tends to make things sound a bit more formal and academic. For example, if I said "It is considered rude to wear shoes inside houses in some cultures", this would be slightly more formal than saying "People think it is rude when you wear shoes inside houses in some cultures."

However...

A lot of students take this idea of 'passives are good for academic writing' too far. Using passives can sometimes be awkward, so they should never be forced into your writing.

More importantly, using a passive is not a good way to give your opinion. A lot of students end their essays with 'It is believed that x should happen'. The appropriate way to give your position is 'I believe x should happen.'

In summary, passives are an important structure to understand, but they shouldn't be used excessively or to give your position in introductions or conclusions.

Discuss both views

Q: Some believe that more action should be taken to prevent crime, while others feel that crime is being tackled effectively now.
Discuss both sides and give your own opinion.

Answer:

Though crime rates have fallen to historic lows in most nations, there are many who feel further action is still required. In my opinion, there should always be criminal prevention efforts, however, on level, crime is being opposed adequately.

Those who believe crime requires greater prioritisation identify its effects, particularly in underserved segments of a population. Crime is still pervasive in areas rife with poverty, such as in neglected neighborhoods in inner cities. An illustrative example of this would be the infamous favelas of Brazil. Residents in these communities must remain constantly vigilant for muggings and robberies and there is a high likelihood that in their lifetime they will come into contact with criminal elements. The causes of such crime-ridden slums are complex but the results for millions of individuals in cities around the world deserve meaningful countermeasures.

Nonetheless, criminal activity already receives sufficient funding as evidenced by its decline. Crime is best tackled through a combination of economic, educational, and criminal justice reform and as developing countries become wealthier, there is a concomitant effect on crime. Criminality is therefore being addressed and it would be unrealistic to expect a world without crime given the realities of human nature. Instead of diverting more money towards an area on the mend already, governments can continue to also fund schools, hospitals, state universities, defense, infrastructure and a host of other areas that may themselves indirectly contribute to eradicating crime.

In conclusion, though crime impacts the daily lives of many citizens, it is already being successfully curbed and there are other key areas deserving of budgetary consideration. Governments must nonetheless balance these concerns and remain vigilant towards changes in this promising pattern.

2022-08-08 21:43:56 Hi guys!

Quick tip for your speaking practice.

I often notice that a lot of tier 5-6 students tend to speak in short phrases rather than sentences.

It's very important when you practice speaking that you use full sentences. In other words, make sure you have a subject and a verb each time you try to say something.

Doing this will give you practice on getting your subject/verb agreement right. Over time, you'll be able to combine your simple sentences with connecting words. Once you can speak in multi-clause sentences, you'll start to fulfill the speaking criteria at a much higher level.

Remember, this is for practice. Once you are in the test room, just focus on communicating a clear message and being natural - good sentence structure should be automatic at that point.

Cheers
