1. (2018/05/19): The range of technology available to people is increasing the
gap between the rich and the poor. Others think it has an opposite effect.
Discuss both views and give your own opinion.
The past few decades has witnessed a vast array of technological advances
coming into existence. However, it is still questionable whether these
developments help bridge or further widen the gap between the wealthy and the
needy. This essay will weigh both sides of the argument prior to giving my take on
the matter.

On one side of the argument, there are people insisting that the proliferation of
technology exacerbate income inequality. It allegedly displaces thousands, if not
more, of low-skilled workers, particularly in the technology-related industries. As
a matter of fact, many practices are now performed by machines, and it follows
that less physical labor is in demand. The prevalence of robots in assembly lines,
for example, compromises the livelihood of thousands of blue-collar workers,
who can hardly sustain their life without a stable income.

There is no denying, however, that technology has been a catalyst for narrowing
the gap between people at both ends of the income spectrum. Granted, those
low-income tech workers are put at the risk of job redundancy owing to
automation, but these individuals could, in due course, secure a new job with the
proper assistance from government agencies. At the same time, it is argued that
they, as well as the underprivileged community in general, can now enjoy a decent
living standard, one which was exclusive to only the well-off. Ample evidence of
this can be seen with the ready availability and affordability of washing machines,
water heaters or microwave ovens, labour-saving devices which were not long

ago out of the poor’s budget. With these mod cons comes the better living
standards along with the increasing contentment among the lower income group.


IZONE – IELTS TRAINING ACADEMY

In conclusion, I believe both sides of the argument have merit. On balance,
however, I am inclined to believe that technological achievements have helped
diminish the disparity between the rich and the poor more than it has widened it,
in light of the greater comfort and convenience enjoyed by a wide section of the
population.

2. (2018/05/24): The media should include more stories which report good
news. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
In this age of massive media coverage, the media is believed to exert a profound
impact on people’s perception of current affairs. Given this pivotal role, I am
convinced that it should feature more accounts of positive news.

One of the primary reasons, in my view, is the disproportionate reporting of
disheartening news on various media platforms that can arouse negative emotions in
viewers. The majority of these are naturally drawn to the most shocking and sensational
news, which explains why these news stories tend to be over-reportedby broadcasters for
self-serving purposes. Surrounded by these traumatic events, it is only natural for the
viewership to take a gloomy view of the world around them. Over time, this could
translate into self-doubt, mistrust or anxiety, morbid feelings that can take a heavy toll on
people’s well-being.

More heartening stories, therefore, deserve wider coverage. The main justification is, as
opposed to bad news, good news can evoke positive emotions, and these sentiments,
however subtle, can bring positive changes to people’s lives. It can be as simple as the
story about a firefighter putting his life at stake to rescue a senior citizen trapped in a
blazing building that can trigger a sense of compassion in people. Or it could be
something as inspiring as the story about a Vietnamese athletic shooter, an underdog who
had, against all odds, become an Olympic gold medalist.Since the news took the whole
country by storm, it has inspired thousands of people from various backgrounds to
persevere with their goals. Were more accounts as such to make headlines, they would
prompt more people to create positive changes.


IZONE – IELTS TRAINING ACADEMY

In conclusion, more encouraging news should be incorporated in news broadcast to keep
viewers at bay from negative feelings inherent in bad news. At the same time, this should
also encourage more commendable changes.

3. (2018/06/02): International tourism is the biggest industry in the world.
Unfortunately, international tourism creates tension rather than
understanding between people from different cultures. To what extent do
you agree or disagree?
It is indisputable that international tourism is now one of the leading businesses in the
world. Some people, however, put forward the view that this development
would heighten the existing friction between people from different cultural
backgrounds. I disagree with this view for the following reasons.

The first one is that even though there are culture clashes when people from
different countries come into contact, these clashes can be resolved with ease, and are
therefore likely to have no detrimental impact. Most, if not all, of these incidents result
from cross-cultural misunderstandings, which can be attributed more to a lack of predeparture research about the host country than to deliberate disregard. Even with some
research done, it would still be challenging for tourists to grasp every intrinsic element of
a well-established culture. Their failure to conform to these sorts of cultural norms, as a
result, can be empathized with. It is also sometimes suggested that since tourists come
and go, their stay at the home country is just temporary, which means any offence made
by tourists would then be forgotten and would not be taken too seriously.

Another significant reason is that cross-border tourism is more likely to foster
harmony between people from different cultural roots. First-hand experience with a
culture would render a more holistic and unbiased view towards its people, which may be
far from what are often led to believe by the mass media. For example, upon making a
visit to Vietnam, many American tourists are astonished by the warm hospitality of the
locals, who, to some individuals’ misconception, should be bearing a grudge over their
war enemies in the past. Another illustration is a visit to a mosque would enlighten
foreign tourists about the good cause of Islam, which is sometimes mistaken as


IZONE – IELTS TRAINING ACADEMY

extremism.

To conclude, although conflicts as a result of inter-country tourism do exist, they can be
successfully managed, and more often than not, international tourism is a
contributing factor to an enhanced understanding of people from different cultures.

4. (2018/06/07): Traffic and housing problems could be solved by moving
large companies, factories and their employees to the countryside. To what
extent do you agree or disagree?
Since traffic gridlock and housing shortage in big cities are becoming more pressing
issues than ever, it has been suggested that large firms should be relocated to the rural
areas. I believe this measure would help mitigate the problems to a large extent.

One merit of such a measure is that it would help ease the strain on the traffic
infrastructure in many megacities. An existing issue common among these cities is
the failure to accommodate an every-increasing volume of traffic to and from the
workplace. In response, the geographical redistribution of large companies would
mean a lower need for daily commute to the downtown area and a corresponding
reduction in the usage of not just privately owned vehicles but also public transports. Not
only would traffic congestion along with its associated issues, namely road rage and road
accidents, be relieved, but the currently overloaded public transport system, which is
subject to frequent delays and breakdowns, would be more adequate and reliable.

The problems accompanied by housing can also be addressed. It can be argued that the
incessant flow of migrants to metropolises has made the demand far exceed the supply,
leading to a severe shortage of accommodation and a resulting surge in property prices. If
enterprises move their headquarters and factories to satellite towns, there is a fair
possibility that their staff will choose to settle down in the neighborhood for the
convenience of proximity to their workplace. This will ease the enormous demand for
shelters in urban areas, and in turn the ongoing housing affordability crisis will no longer
be a matter of concern.


IZONE – IELTS TRAINING ACADEMY

In conclusion, my view is that given the expected benefits of relocating large firms to the
countryside, it is highly recommended that the authorities in charge deliberate on this
course of action.

5. (2018/06/23): In many places, people’s lifestyle is changing rapidly and
this affects family relationship. Do you think the advantage of this
development outweigh the disadvantage?
It is true that the speedy change in people’s lifestyle exerts certain impacts on family life.
Most of these impacts, in my view, are negative, prevailing over the positive ones.

On the downside, the bond between family members is being compromised as a result of
the hectic life that many people are leading. With both parents working and children
spending a large part of their day at school, many would settle for a quick meal rather
than a family meal which often involves the time-consuming process of cooking, setting
the table and cleaning. It follows that the chance for these individuals to bond with their
family members is harder to come by. Even when they do have time together, some are
still occupied with checking emails and keeping up with work progress, tasks that are no
longer confined to the conventional office hours. Interaction among family members
diminishes accordingly, which leads to a weakened family bond in many instances.

However, a positive side to this development is that two-income families can usually
generate more wealth than the traditional breadwinner model. The higher income yielded
would in turn go to covering the basic costs of necessities and even some luxuries,
thereby alleviating problems associated with an insufficient income stream, those that
mostly confront lower or middle class families. Since financial difficulty is the cause of
family quarrels in many cases, the absence of it is likely to facilitate a more harmonious
relationship among family members. However, this is not meant to say all the domestic

upheaval would be kept at bay, for if the parents were not able to strike a balance
between work and family, the problem detailed in the first paragraph would overshadow
the aforementioned benefit of a higher flow of income.


IZONE – IELTS TRAINING ACADEMY

In conclusion, the changes in modern lifestyles can be seen to do more harms than goods
to domestic lives.

6. (2018/07/07): Many people say that universities should only offer entry to
young students with highest marks, others think they should accept people
of all ages even if they did not do well. Discuss both views and give your
own opinion.
Many people believe that college admission should be reserved for high-school graduates
with good academic records, whereas others put forward the opinion that every person,
regardless of age and intellectual level, should be eligible for higher education. Although
there are justifications for both sides, I personally think the former is more viable.

On the one hand, there are certain merits of rendering tertiary education available to
everyone. Among these is a more educated and productive workforce that the country can
benefit from. With all the necessary skill sets and expertise acquired at universities,
graduates stand a good chance of enhancing their productivity at work. Another benefit
can be a reduced unemployment rate. This is particularly true in the face of the ongoing
automation that has displaced thousands of workers. These workers would enjoy a better
chance at securing a sustainable job were they to be given access to higher education.
Promising as it may sound, such a proposal, in my opinion, is far from feasible, for it

would entail customizing all the current curriculums and training programs to suit a broad
spectrum of levels, a task that would undoubtedly come at tremendous effort and
expense.

On the other hand, I gravitate towards the view that the privilege of higher education
should be exclusive to young individuals with outstanding academic records. Age is an
important factor since young students would be less burdened with the everyday concerns
that a typical mature student is subject to. It follows that these young individuals can give
their undivided attention to schoolwork, which is likely to yield better results. Another
reason is that since the highly intensive coursework offered by most universities could be
intellectually demanding, only those that have what it takes, proven through a spotless
academic record in high school, should be qualified.


IZONE – IELTS TRAINING ACADEMY

In conclusion, although both arguments have their merits, I am more inclined to believe
that universities should be selective in its recruitment process due to the impracticality of
granting the admission to everyone.

7. (2018/07/19): Education for young people is important in many countries.
However, many people believe the government should spend more money
on education of adult population who cannot read and write. To what
extent do you agree or disagree?
With regards to the issue of education funding, it is generally held that the top priority
goes to education for young generation. Some, however, claim that the government
should allocate a larger part of its budget to literacy education. Since this is a wideranging topic that would involve a thorough deliberation on both sides, this essay would

limit its scope to the economic standpoint, from which both issues should be equally
attended to.

There is no denying that proper investments in the education of the youth can ensure a
more qualified workforce for the future. This helps generate more wealth for society,
which in turn justifies the substantial financial resources dedicated to improving the
quality of formal education. This is evidenced by the fact that the countries with an
advanced education system, those in North America and Western Europe for example,
are often the hubs for productivity and innovation. Given this pivotal role that education
for the young plays, it would make little sense for authorities in charge to overlook such
an area in financial terms.

Of equal importance is the national funding to increasing the literacy rate. A clear benefit
to this investment is the increased employability for the illiterate adults who are currently
living under the poverty line. With the exception of low-paying menial jobs, no employer
would willingly hire an individual without literacy, the very basic indicator of an average
intellectual level. It follows that these illiterates will encounter immense difficulty should
they aspire to secure a job with a livable paycheck, let alone a generous one, and hence
continuing to get trapped in the vicious circle of poverty. Scaling up the investment in the
eradication of illiteracy, on the other hand, readies these individuals for more challenging


IZONE – IELTS TRAINING ACADEMY

and well-paying jobs, which in due course contributes to the economic prosperity of the
country in question.

In conclusion, after weighing up the merits of a more highly educated labor force and a
more literate one, it is safe to say that the two bear equal significance, and thus deserving
equal financial resource allocation.

8. (2018/07/28): Some people say that economic growth is the only way to
end world poverty and hunger. Others say that economic growth is
damaging the environment and should stop. Discuss both views and give
your opinion
In many parts of the world, economic development has been of great importance in
solving famine and raising living standards. While some people believe that the economic
progress itself could eventually put an end to poverty and hunger, others are more wary
of the associated threats posed to the environment. This essay will discuss both sides of
the argument before a conclusion is drawn.

On the one hand, it is true that economic development has a crucial part to play in
eliminating famine and poverty. A strong economy, at its simplest, means a high
employment rate for the people, which provides them with a good income to feed
themselves and their families. In the long run, as the economy thrives, living conditions
can be improved, and people will no longer suffer from the lack of basic necessities. This
can be seen in the case of Viet Nam, an under-developed country in Asia in the early
2000s. After joining the WTO in 2007, the country’s economy was given a strong boost
from trading goods and services with many more developed countries, which lead to the
people’s living standards being greatly raised and millions of people escaping poverty
and hunger successfully. Nevertheless, economic progress is probably not the solely way
to fight poverty as there remain other alternatives such as investing in the education
system or encouraging poor people to fight poverty themselves.

On the other hand, the side effects that an economy developing too rapidly has on the
environment can be tremendous. As more industries and factories are needed to produce
goods, the discharge of industrial wastes of various kinds would soar accordingly. This

could result in the degradation of natural habitats such as rivers, the seas and air. Another
major threat is over-exploitation of natural resources for industrial purposes, which could
lead to irreversible damage on the ecosystem since some species may never recover and


IZONE – IELTS TRAINING ACADEMY

develop. Therefore, it is extremely necessary for the authority to impose stricter laws
regarding industrial activities in order to protect the environment. Economic growth is
undeniably important, but it should not come at the expense of the environment.

My opinion is that there must be harmony between the environment and the proliferation
of the economic activities. Despite the obvious benefits that a strong economy could
bring about in terms of solving the issue of poverty and raising people’s living
conditions, I do not believe that it can make up for the environmental consequences
mentioned above.

9. (2018/08/02): In some cities, there are few controls on the design and
construction of homes and other buildings, and owners can decide on the
styles of their houses. Do the advantages of this outweigh its drawbacks?
In some cities and provinces all over the world, house owners are given a lot of freedom
to design their own houses. I believe that the benefits associated with this trend could far
make up for its drawbacks, as now will be explained.

The most significant disadvantage of letting people choose the style of their own homes
and buildings, according to some people, is probably it can potentially lead to some
dangerous situations in the future. Many owners could lack the knowledge and expertise

necessary to design and execute the erection of their houses, which could result in such
buildings finding it difficult to withstand inclement weathers or failing to function
properly in the long run. This might cause some dangers for people who lives in these
houses and simultaneously threaten the lives of people residing in the same
neighborhood. It would be fatal, for example, if a poorly designed house suddenly
collapse while its owners are inside, or some people are being near the place. Therefore,
it will be better if the local council has some say in this designing and building process,
which will help guarantee the safety and well-being of not only the owners, but also their
neighbors.

However, the potential benefits that this act could bring about are tremendous, which is
why it should be implemented more widely. From an individual perspective, the house
owners could enjoy a greater sense of satisfaction in having some contribution in the
making of their own homes. Many people invest a substantial amount of money in their
buildings, and they will surely feel more satisfied if the design of the house is their idea.
From an economic standpoint, this may result in a boost for the local economy. A city or
province with a lot of uniquely and creatively constructed buildings may attract a huge
number of tourists coming to admire their beauty, and with it come more income for the


IZONE – IELTS TRAINING ACADEMY

locals. A prime example is Rotterdam, the city of Netherlands with some of the most
unique and curious cubic houses, welcoming thousands of tourists on a regular basis.

In conclusion, despite the fact that it would be more safe to consult the authority before
designing a house, letting people choose their own styles could be far more beneficial,
therefore should be implemented in more cities and provinces.

10.(2018/08/18): In the modern world it is possible to shop, work and
communicate with people via Internet and live without any face-to-face
contact with others. Is it a positive or negative development in your
opinion?
The vigorous growth of the Internet in the early 21st century has paved the way for the
prevalence of online shopping, distant working and online communication, all of which
seem to have rendered interpersonal interaction superfluous in many instances. Contrary
to popular belief, this trend has done more harm than good, as will be proven in this
essay.

On the one hand, the rise of the Internet, together with its broad range/array of associated
activities, has done wonders for mankind. Those with an access to the Internet could save
a great deal of time that would be otherwise dedicated to commuting back and forth to
physical stores or their workplace, which in turns brings about an unprecedented level of
comfort and convenience. This lower demand for transportation subsequently helps with
easing traffic congestion (on the road). Better still, being in the comfort of their own
home affords people the time it takes to make an informed purchasing decision. These
shoppers, equipped with a massive pool of information readily available online, could
stack up attributes of each alternative (against one another), before arriving at a sound
decision of what to buy. This is unlikely the case with in-store shopping, where shoppers
are often pressured into buying certain products against their will.

Albeit the good intentions of the Internet, its wide coverage comes with a variety of
pitfalls in reality, presumably overshadowing the said benefits. One of such
shortcomings is the impairment of crucial social skills, which could be attributed to a
severe lack of social interactions. The time many chronic Internet users once spent on
daily exchanges is taken away in favour of online activities, which, if sustained, could
lead to a reluctance to communicate with others. Though it could be said that this

shortage in communication could be made up for with the abundance of online


IZONE – IELTS TRAINING ACADEMY

communication tools and platform, this is a questionable statement per se/in itself.
Research has indicated that eye contact and body gestures, factors inherent in a physical
encounter, have a critical part to play in forging a close bond, without which we humans
are more prone to feel a sense of isolation, and by association, depression.

In conclusion, after a thorough examination of both sides of the issue, it is safe to say that
the benefits the Internet has to offer would be outweighed by the potential dangers it
poses to the netizens.

11.(2018/08/25): For school children, their teachers have more influence on
their intelligence and social development than their parents. To what
extent do you agree or disagree?
Children education has traditionally been a difficult topic. A question that often leave
many stumped is which group, parents or teachers, exerts more of an influence on
children’s intellectual and social development. My view is that although teachers have a
large part to play, the role of parents carries just as much weight.

The role teachers assume on children’s cognitive development should not be taken
lightly. They are professional at conducting their class in a stimulating and insightful
manner, which could be attributed to years of rigorous training and hands-on experience
that afford them the right set of skills, pedagogical skills and the like. Without the same
skill set, parents could find it hard, if not impossible, to perform the job of comparable

quality, and this shortcoming may present a challenge to children’s intellectual
development in the long run. An equally important factor is students’ social awareness,
which is fostered through multiple class activities and interactions. These activities go a
long way in teaching a kid how to forge a bond with his fellow classmates or how to
disagree without being disagreeable, skills that are often absent in homeschooled
children.

The role parents play by no means pales in comparison with that of teachers however.
Research has shown that children’s intelligence could be partly attributed to the genetic
makeup that they inherit from their parents. This is particularly the case with prodigies,
whose talents have attracted a greal deal of interest at various mind sports and
competitions, holding all other factors like schooling and financial background constant.
It is also parents who make the decision of which educational institutions to send their
kids to so as to reap all the benefits of schooling as detailed above. These parents
understand their kids better than anyone else, and would endeavour to promote not just
