“Discuss when, if ever, capital
punishment can be viewed as a valid punishment for crime.”
You should write at least 250 words.
To what extent do you agree or
disagree with the above statement? Present your answer.
Sample answer:
Overall, I agree with the fact that
punishment is the way to avoid the crime to be increased and hence our lives
become more secure. If the wrongdoer wants to be a good man and there is some
financial or personal problem that led him to the wrong way, then it would be
the nice option to forgive him and try to solve the problem he have. Although
by this way, some bad man may become effective part of the society but some do
not bring themselves to the right path because they are very much used to of
it. The person that _ involved in the crime and never try to stop the
law-breaking act should be punished in the extremely serious way. However, it
totally depends on the nature of crime. Some crime led to capital punishment
and some may require small penalty. The law-making institutions are responsible
to bring the bad man to the right level of punishment that he deserves. If
there is weak legislation to properly handle the offender, it may become our
society less secure for the good man. The government should be responsible
authority to provide secure and better state to live. Laws should be
implemented and executed in the most proper way that do not allow the offender
to commit violence act or to break the law in any way or extent. To sum up, it
is the responsibility of the state runner to stop people to involved in crime.
It may be done through solving the problems of the people that led them to
commit violence act or by the punishment accordingly.

“Some people
think that they can learn better by themselves than with a teacher. Others
think that it is always better to have a teacher. Which do you prefer?”
Use
specific reasons to develop your essay.
You
should write at least 250 words.
Sample answer:
It is certainly said that learning is
an ongoing process .Every person learn something new according to their age,
experience knowledge and education. According to my point of view it is always
better to have teacher or guide for study. One teacher has adequate knowledge
to teach their student. He knows all the possible ways to make subject easier
for the students, even he teaches them in effective manner. For example, some
students are weak in some subjects but a teacher always guides them according to
their mental capacity. He teaches them as fun. Some people can learn better in
group by discuss the topics with others. In class people can know the other?s
views, even they know how we can learn effectively. Where the teacher always
give easy direction to learn. In the today’s competitive world, everbody is
busy, some people think that rather to waste their time to go for classes they
can learn better regarding their subject _. They can attend online classes by
using internet at home. They can get relevant information from internet
regarding their topic. There is not specific time, age limit to learn something
new. Some thing new which we always learn only with the experience such as
atequates, knowledge, new habits and so on. In sum up, I would like to say that
it is always better for the people to have teacher because one teacher has good
knowledge, experience and education to teach others. They can take learn easy
from him rather by themselves.

“Directors of large companies often

organizations say that in a global market this is what are your views? ”
You
should use your own ideas, knowledge and experience and support your arguments
with examples and relevant evidence.
You
should write at least 250 words.
Sample answer:
Recently companies started to use new
ways and techniques to compete with others and win the maximum number of
clients, one of those ways is to recruit talented directors, those director
should run the companies and makes essential decisions. Therefore directors
receive higher salaries than others.
I would agree that directors of large
companies receive much bigger salaries than other which increases by time, but
I believe that directors deserve these salaries for a number of reasons.
Perhaps the most important is the fact that the progress of the company rely on
their decisions, the competitions between the companies is vicious and hard,
and so, weak establishment can not survive without good leadership. In
addition, directors work very hard more than some people imagine, they have to
study the market, read and analyze every small detail to make the right
decision.
However, there are many who disagree
with me, arguing that directors receive salaries more than they really deserve.
And companies should cut from these salaries and use that money for creating
new job opportunity, improving or building new facilities, take up new
equipments and so on.

“Even though globalization affects the
world’s economics in a very positive way, its negative side should not be
forgotten.”
You should use your own ideas, knowledge and
experience and support your arguments with examples and relevant evidence.
You should write at least 250 words.
Sample answer:
Everything has two sides and the
globalization is not the exception. Our first thoughts about this topic include
the process of global “McDonaldisation” and, generally speaking, spreading the
one, American, lifestyle across the whole Globe.
Firstly, I would try to concentrate
on the positive aspects of globalisation. As far as economics is concerned,
institiutions like the Global Bank or IMF are always focused on developing the
‘Third World’ and helping poor people to
combat their life obstacles (through loans and donations). Moreover, the world
becomes an area of sharing the thoughts (e.g. philosophical or economical
doctrines), which become popular due to lack of barriers.
However, disadvantages of
globalization are also widely known. Some people maintain that because of this
process, the spirit of countries and nations rapidly disappears. The integrity,
established houndreds years ago is on the verge of collapse. Furthermore,
there’s a strong lobby of communists who reckon, that the globalization
indicates uncontrolled reign of capitalists and slave work of lower
labour-class. We should never forget about detrimental impact of global
investments on environment - green house effect or soar rains are triggered by
globalization.
To sum up, globalization has both
positive and negative influence on our everyday life. I can’t agree with the popular
statement that we should try to avoid being affected by it. However, we must
not forget about our surroundings and local communities. They have invaluable
values which should last forever.

Do you agree or disagree? Use specific reasons and examples to support
your answer.
You

Sample answer:
Evaluation of the importance of
timing is so important, many people they are sticking to past to show their
present’s importance, while many shows that no need to even remember their past
because it would not help them at all. It is very controversial and complicated
matter.
Do not look to past, many people
believe on this statement, for many reasons: Firstly, all of us had committed
many mistakes which we would not like to remember, it will affect their present
because can create some problems with our families as example. Secondly,
instead of remembering those past trials, get the benefit of your present time.
Although of what said in previous
opinion, many people sticking to their past to give them well push in their present.
It can give you a way of learning from your mistakes, and good chance to try to
avoid any thing can lead to past failure.
Moreover, Success will not come
without failure, every body should try his aim, even if failed, and it is a big
success if they try it again and again. In addition, past is our culture and
heritage which we will not forget it at all, it is a matter of value to our
present, future till will die.
To sum up, in my opinion, we can not
live without past, it is our value of life. Beside it can create your
experiences in to solve your problems better in the future.

“Some people say that education system
is the only critical factor to development of a country. To what extent do you
agree or disagree with this statement?”
You
should write at least 250 words.
Sample answer:
Education plays a vital role in the
development of a country. Therefore, some people think education system is the
only important factor for the development of a country and they may be right.
Education is a foundation of well
developed and cultured society. It is rightly said, ‘education is a ladder for
success’. If all the people of any country are educated then they becomes
broadminded, civilized and progressive forward. Educated society improves
standard of life as well.Besides this, education also creates a good employment
opportunity and therefore country do not have to suffer big problem like
unemployment. Educated peoples are more aware of problems such as pollution and
many more. Country becomes technologically advanced because of educated people.
Not only this, but by giving full
importance to education, the nations can get rid of problems like iliteracy,
poverty, unemployment and poppulation growth that retard the progress of
nation. The crime rate can also be kept under check. The standard of living of
the people wil go up. If the nations wants to be progressive it is very important
that the people are more educated and progressive forward. Any country can be
more technologically advanced and developed because of education.However, there
are some more factors also plays important role in development of country. Such
as governments has to encouraged people to do so.
In conclusion, I would like to say that good education
system lead to a developed country.

disagree with this statement?”
You
should write at least 250 words.
Sample answer:
One the one hand good education is a
highly recommended skill in the developed countries, on the other hand the
highest wish of many people in regions of poverty. But what makes education to
the key factor for the development of a country?
We must acknowledge that education is
something that we all need. The differences are just what we learn. Mostly the
educational horizon of poor and less educated people has more to deal with
their personal situation than with problems of bigger effects on a country.
Attending school is sometimes too expensive and it does not feed a family.
Nevertheless there must be a reason
for education. For me it looks like some countries have realized that Education
is the key for the globalization process. If we take India for example we can see that a
change in the educational system had changed the economy of the country. The
country has changed from a poor region to a high potential aria for IT
knowledge.
In regard to this fact it is a must
that the Governments of less developed countries take the power of education
serious and offer it to a wide range of people. Spending money for education is
the key for a nw future effects on the economy and the social life. All in all
I agree with the importance of education for the development of a country. Less
knowledge leads to poverty and not to knowledge that has wide effects. Learning
and Knowledge is Power and an investment in the near future and therefore it
has to be an official task.

You

Sample answer:
Almost 90% of the women today wants a
beautiful figure. That is why we are able to find a diet programme almost
everywhere in the country. Most of the women have tought and gone on a diet
before either to slim dowm or just for health problem.
A proper diet programme will help you
not only to slim down but also to have a healthier eating habit. For instance,
taking more vegetables and fruits than meat, avoid fried food and carbonated
drinks. For a diet programme we shouldn’t cut one self from food and water.
There are some diet programme from the doctors that help you to have a healthy
heart like the “Three day diet” which we can find on the internet. This
programme allows you to eat fruits and also some meat. This way of dieting you
will be able to avoid some of the health problems in the future like diabetes.
However some people do not only go on
a diet but they avoid eating and go hungry for the whole day. All they have is
just either water or juices. Also there a people who buy special diet programme
over the counter like taking pills which are not approved by the health
department and without consulting a doctor first. They do not follow the basic
rules of dieting and this will lead them to some serious health problems like
disfuctional of some body parts or, even worse, death.
In my opinion there is nothing wrong
going on a diet as long as we follow the correct way of eating and for a good

You should use your own ideas, knowledge and

You should write at least 250 words.
Sample answer:
In many countries the discussion
about the rising financial problems of young people has got more into focus.
Tough some people are voting to integrate financial education as a schooling
subject.
The key problem for many young ones
is that they don’t know how to use and spend money in the right way. The “get
what you want mentality” is advertised all over in the public media and it
looks like some people think that living with interest fees is normal. Though
financial problems in young life are very common with the result that it is
difficult to learn how to spend money appropriated. The main idea of teaching a
financial subject must be to explain about a balanced budget and that interest
fees could ruins one future.
But this is just one side that has to
be considered. For me, the main question is why dose parents cannot give the
right advice to their kids? To give such a personal subject in the hands of
government and school is a lack of the key tasks that parents have: to be a
good role model.
Moreover it should be considerate that
the social effects of talking about money and finance in a social diverted
school class can be harmful for some students. In my opinion it is more
important to teach parents about their responsibilities as a role model and
educate private topic in a safe and private environment.
All in all I think the main task of
public institutions should be to educate about common subjects and not to give
such personal advice like the use of money.

“The world is experiencing a dramatic
increase in population; this is causing problems not only for poor, undeveloped
countries, but also for industrialized and developing nations. Describe some of
the problems that overpopulation causes, and suggest at least one possible
solution.”
You should write at least 250 words.
Sample answer:
Nowadays, the population increase
dramatically in most countries around the world. This is true for developed and
developing nations. Overpopulation cause different number of problems. However,
government can solved these problems by many solutions.
There are several problems that raising
number of people in undeveloped countries causes. Firstly, it is very difficult
to provide enough food for all people. Secondly, the government limit the
number of children per family to educate in the school. In addition, in poorest
countries usually have a lot of unemployment as well, and when the population
increase the number of unemployment increase. Finally, when too many people
live on the land, the environment suffers.
There are different problems that
overpopulation causes in rich nations. Firstly, it is very difficult for
governments to provide helpful public services in overcrowded cities. Moreover,
there is generally a great deal more crime such as using drugs, killing people,
steeling, and ect. Which that often because of high rates of unemployment.
However, overpopulation problems in
both nations have two main solution which it deal by governments. Firstly,
government must educate people to limit size of the family. For example, in China
they have a policy call “one cild policy” which it is limit size of the family
to have one or two children but that it is beginning to have an effect in the
world’s most crowded nation.
To sum up, if the population
impulsive increase continues, many more people will die of hunger in poor
countries. Also, in rich nations, the life in the cities will become more and
more difficult.

“The best way to reduce the number of
traffic accidents is to raise age limit for the younger drivers and to lower
age limit for the aged ones. Do you agree?”
You
should write at least 250 words.
Sample answer:
Traffic accidents are on the raise
these days. Most of the accidents caused injuries or either worse death. Research
has found that most of the accidents are cause by inexperienced drivers, for
example young drivers.
Young drivers tend to be more daring
and are unable to avoid a crush when face with an on coming one. They tend to
be more daring after some drinks of alcohol at night and cause them to lose
control of the car. Drink driving will not only cause your own life but may
also cause an innivent life to be lost.
The government should encourage the
driving school to conduct driving lessons to young drivers for a longer period.
This will give them a clear picture about how accidents happen and the safety
of others on the road. Drivers that have meet with an accident after drink
driving should be ban from driving for at least two years and be given driving
lessons again.
However, for the aged drivers, the
government should not only lower the age but also check the capability of the
aged drivers for instance eyesight, hearing and other related health conditions
to save driving. It does not mean that an aged person are not fit to drive and
have a problem with the heart but a young or middle aged man could also have a
change of heart failure these days.
To conclude, I feel that to raise the
age limit of young drivers are not the best solution but to give them more
driving lessons about the problem they will encounter on the road and to ban
them from driving if they have cause an accident due to carelessness. As for
the age drivers, as long as they are capable on the road before a certain age
and no health issues there shouldn’t be a problem.

“Popular events like the football world
cup and other international sporting occasions are essential in easing
international tensions and releasing patriotic emotions in a safe way. To what
extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?”
You
should write at least 250 words.
Sample answer:
The World Cup football match and the
Olympics are held worldwide with great national support and expectations. As a
fan of those competitions, I agree with the idea that sporting events can be
necessary for international relations and national unity. In this essay, I will
think about the effects of these popular sporting events.
First of all, the World Cup, Olympics
and other international games work for easing tensions among different nations.
For example, South and North
Korea have football games regularly which
give two nations a chance to understand each other deeply. In the mid 1990s, a
hundreds of North Korean supporters came to South Korea with the footballers
and they were very excited during the sporting events. Even if it sounds
ridiculous, many South Koreans were quite surprised at that moment when North
Koreans shouted and cried during the match. We all realized that they were very
normal sports fans even though they were occasionally very secretive. Through
the sports, two divided nations could reduce their political and ideological tensions
and could feel the patriotic unity.
On the other hand, some sports
matches can make international relations worse. For instance, football or
baseball games between Korea
and Japan
are always big matches in two countries where full of tensions overflow.
Sometimes, after the matches, the two rivals blame each other and their
patriotic emotions explode in an aggressive way. Even much worse scenario is
that the troubles caused by losing games affect the players directly. As far as
I know, a couple of Korean players in Japan are suffered from invisible
discrimination after the match between two countries.
In conclusion, I think that
international sporting occasions can be one of the good ways to ease tensions
or to release patriotism safely. However, I believe that games can not be the
fundamental ways for the sound patriotism or peaceful international relations.

another?”
To what
extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?
You
should write at least 250 words.
Sample answer:
In today’s world, due to the advancement
of technology new inventions are coming into existence. It is a certainty that?
Necessity is a mother of invention.
Internet is just like a wonder box, which contains every type of
information. Besides it has also proved as a very important tool to connect
people with each other.
In today’s modernized era nobody has
sufficient time to write letters to their loved ones. Moreover it also takes
longer to send or receive any information. But through an internet it is an
easiest way to send massages to our loved ones. Either it can be in the form of
an e- mail or by text messages from internet to cell phones. We can send and
receive messages straight way.
In other hand today’s youth
generation mostly prefer to do chatting on internet. Through this chatting we
can write messages and straight way can get their reply. Moreover, voice
chatting is going to be very popular day-by-day.
As it is a reality that advantages
and disadvantages are like both sides of a coin, which usually runs parallel.
So like other things internet also have some downsides, like people are facing
some health problems for example, poor eye-sight, back ache, migraine. Today’s
teenagers usually prefer to spend their time on internet rather than to
participating in other physical activities, so that’s why they are going to be
weaker in their physical health.
To conclude, I would like to say that
internet is one of the most modernized and most successful tools, not only for
communication, even to get most relevant information regarding every field in a
very short period of time.

“In some countries children have very
strict rules of behavior, in other countries they are allowed to do almost
anything they want. To what extent should children have to follow rules?”
Sample answer:
Freedom plays a mandatory role in everybody’s
life. We can see in today’s modernized era nobody likes to get some
restrictions upon them, whether it would be a child or an adult. Some people
think that there should have some strict rules of behavior for children, but I
disagree with this statement.
Wherever, it is a reality that
sometimes more restrictions can cause more frustration in children, which leads
to many other mental diseases as well. Moreover they can be, behave like a
stubborn. Sometimes they feel themselves under pressure, which can be a main
reason for their poor performance in their field. In some cases children would
be crazier to do these things from where we’ll try to keep them away.
In other words, we have to look for
other aspects as well, like if we usually ignore our children’s bad habits,
then they can’t be good human beings in their future life. Moreover_ if we
never draw attention upon the children’s main activities then they may be
acquiring bad company. They can know regarding the value of respect for their
elders. They can know the importance of relationships. They can know regarding
their cultural values as well.
In a nutshell, I would like to say
that children should be teach regarding the value of their customs, rituals and
respect towards their elders for their future life, but most of the extra
restriction should be being avoided. It would be better to make them good human
beings in their coming future.

“Some
businesses now say that no one can smoke cigarettes in any of their offices.
Some governments have banned smoking in all public places. Do you agree or
disagree?”
You should
write at least 250 words.
Sample answer:
Most of the firms, organization and companies as well as
Government make restrictions to smoke in work places and public amenities
respectively. It has become fashionable in the world today to blame smoking.
However, although I feel that smoking can be harmful, but I don’t think it
should be forbidden completely. I would also argue that people should have the
right whether they smoke or not.
Let me deal with
the three positive sides of smoking. Firstly, smoking certainly helps many
people to relax. For some, it even improves concentration. If someone is upset
owing to debt or they have exam, like to smoke to reduce the pressure or
tension. Most of the people like to smoke when they are relaxing with friends.
Secondly, governments throughout the world make huge profits from taxes on
cigarettes. The income obtained from taxes provide funds which are used for
building school, hospital and public places such as parks, gardens, sports
ground and foot paths. Thirdly, tobacco industry also employs tens of thousands
of people all over the world, particularly in poorer countries like Zimbabwe or India. Without cigarettes, these
people would have no jobs.
Despite these
positive effects there are lots of negative effects of smoking too. Initially,
smoking has been proven to be too dangerous for health. As one cigarette
contain more then 4000 chemical substances, therefore, it causes for many
injurious diseases like heart attacks, asthma, bronchitis, lung cancer and
cough. According to the current report, in Britain about 3,500 people are
killed each year in road accidents and 120,000 are killed by smoking.
Furthermore, smoking costs government millions of dollars because of the large
number of people who need treatment in hospitals for smoking-related problems.
Moreover, there is also concern today about passive smoking. Recent research
shows that non-smokers can suffer health problems if they spend long period of
time among people who do smoke. In UK children whose parents are smoke
are three times as likely to start smoking themselves.
In short, I think
the world would be a better place without cigarettes. However, the decision as
to whether _ smoke or not should be for each individual to make. I suggest
people should not smoke in a room or place
where there are non smokers but surely they should be free to smoke elsewhere.

“Statistics
show that Australians are getting fatter. To prevent this national health
problem from getting worse, the Australian government should put a tax on fatty
fast foods to fund our health care system To what extent do you agree?”
You should use your own ideas, knowledge and
experience and support your arguments with examples and relevant evidence.
You should write at least 250 words.
Sample answer:
Now-a-days, according to statistics,
many Australians are suffered by fatness or obesity. So many people who are
overweight and worrying about fatness insist Australian government should
support our health care system as receiving the duty on fatty fast foods. But I
do not think so. To prevent from fatness is not government’s duty, but our
duty.
It is certainly true that more and
more people are getting fatter; however, we can control what we eat, in other
words, we can’t distinguish what kind of foods are good or bad for our health.
It is up to people to decide whether they eat fatty fast food or not.
Fatty fast food causes so many health
problems some people who are overweight can be died by fatness. I am sure that
many overweight people have been being died from the disease by fatness while
we can not be realized.
Therefore, the government cannot
prevent from getting fatter. Though they can try to prevent about fatness, if
they put a tax on fatty fast food to fund our health care system to prevent
fatness, they pay too much money and it is not fair to all people who live in Australia.
Therefore we should prevent from fatness by ourselves. If we are worried about
fatness, we can reduce our weight by doing exercise. To keep our health is our
duty; it is not government’s duty. We should try to keep health by ourselves
without turning government.

To what extent do you agree with statement? You should
use your own ideas, knowledge and experience and support your arguments with
examples and relevant evidence.
You should write at least 250 words.
Sample answer:
By comparison with even the recent past, the choice of leisure activities
on offer today is vast, so it is Reasonable to find that some of these
activities reflect the trends and fads of the day.
People have far more money and time than before to purse their interests
but the ever-increasing number of activities does not automatically guarantee
continuity. In fact new hobbies come and go. For example, sports such a
roller-balding lose their fascination after a few months. Similarly, although snow
boarding has taken over from traditional skirling it is doubtful whether its
popularity will last. Other thing like electronic games go out of date almost
as soon as you have bought them because the manufactures promote the fact that
only the last version is worth having
, and so ensure continued sales.
On the other hand, not everyone is a victim of faction in this way and
people of all ages and backgrounds may take up hobbies for social reason.
Traditional hobbies rang from participation in active sports like tennis to old
favorites such as chess and stamp |Collecting, |and these continue to be
popular. By joining a club, people can make friends and feel part of a group
with whom they can a here a common interest and leisure time. Where sports are concerned,
most people know what they like and participate out of love of the game, rather
then because it is currently fashionable.
I feel therefore, that while fashion may have an influence, particularly
among them young, the majority of people enjoy here hobbies for their own sake.

“Popular
events like the football World Cup and other international sporting occasions
are essential in easing international tensions and releasing patriotic emotions
in a safe way.”
You should write at least 250 words.
Sample answer:
Every four years, the whole world
stops to watch international sporting events such as the Olympics and the
Football World Cup in which athletes show their best performance to make their
country proud of them. These sporting occasions have proved to be helpful in
easing international tensions in difficult times when powerful leaders were
trying to control the world’s economy and other governments were fighting over
land.
The Olympic Games are one of the best
examples which prove how sporting events can bring nations together, at least
temporarily. From ancient History, when Greeks and Romans would interrupt
battles to participate in the games, to the more recent international disputes,
when athletes from Palestine and Israel
would forget their differences, compete pacifically and even embrace each other
after an event. Moreover, these popular events have called the world’s
attention to the terrible consequences of wars; thus some leaders have tried to
accept agreements to end their dispute and live peacefully.
Similarly, international sporting
events show benefits in some developing countries which live in a daily
internal civil war. For example, Brazil has a high rate of
unemployment, lack of education, hunger, crime, poverty and corruption which
leads to an immense embarrassment of being Brazilian and a low self-esteem.
However, when the Football World Cup starts, the Brazilian squad, which is
considered the best team in the world, provokes an amazing feeling of pride in
their country. Most people seem to forget all their problems and even the
criminal activity decreases. They paint roads with the national colors, use
wear the Brazilian team shirt and buy national flags. Moreover, the competition
brings families and neighbors together and even rival gangs watch the games and
celebrate peacefully.
In conclusion,
popular sporting events play an important role in decreasing international
tensions and liberating patriotic feelings as History has shown.

“Improvements
in health, education and trade are essential for the development of poorer
nations. However, the governments of richer nations should take more
responsibility for helping the poorer nations in such areas.”
You should write at least 250 words.
Sample answer:
Today’s
world has been divided into developing and an industrialized country which the
main difference between them is the amount of money that governments apply in
important sectors such as education, health and commerce. Most of the poorer
nations are buried in debts as a result of their unbalanced finances which are
reflect in a failed health care, an unstructured education system and a weak
international trade. This vicious cycle will continue indefinitely unless
wealthier nations show interest in minimizing the worldwide economic
differences, as well as taking more responsibility for assisting unfortunate
countries.
Most
of the African countries live in sub-human conditions because of the extreme
poverty, upheaval, hunger, disease, unemployment, lack of education and both
inexperienced and corrupt administrations. The devastating consequences of the AIDS
epidemic in those countries could improve if the infected populations receive
free drugs to control the disease, have access to health professionals and get
information on how to prevent its spread. But this can only be achieved through
international help programs in which leaders of the world’s richest countries
donate medicine and also send doctors and nurses to treat and educate those in
need.
Moreover,
most of the poor countries rely on selling agricultural products and raw
material to rich nations and buying industrialized products from them resulting
in a huge financial deficit. Consequently, they borrow a significant amount of
money from the World Bank to try to improve their broken economies, but
sometimes the money disappears with no significant changes and they cannot even
pay the interest to the bank. Regarding this issue, last year the G8, which is
comprised of leaders of the eight richest nations, decided to forgive billions
of dollars worth of debt owed by the world’s poorest nations. In addition, they
developed adequate loan programs to financially assist those countries.
In
conclusion, leaders of the industrialized countries play an indispensable role
in assisting developing nations deal with essential areas such as health,
education and trade. Also, their aid is the key to breaking the vicious cycle,
which results in poverty and death.

“As computers are being used more and
more in education, there will be soon no role for teachers in the classroom.”
You should write at least 250 words.
Sample answer:
There
have been immense advances in technology in most aspects of people’s lives,
especially in the field of education. Nowadays, an increasing number of
students rely on computers for research and to produce a perfect paper for
school purposes. Others have decided to leave the original way of learning and
to get knowledge through online schools. These changes in the learning process
have brought a special concern regarding the possible decrease of importance of
teachers in the classroom.
Some
people believe the role of teachers started to fade because computers have been
helping some students to progress in their studies quicker than when compared
with an original classroom. For example, in the same classroom, students have
different intellectual capacities, thus some would be tied to a slow advance in
their studies because of others? Incapacity of understanding. In this way,
pupils could progress in their acquisition of knowledge at their own pace using
computers instead of learning from teachers.
However,
the presence of a teacher is essential for students because the human contact
influences them in positive ways. Firstly, students realize that they are not
dealing with a machine but with a human being who deserves attention and
respect. They also learn the importance of studying in group and respect other
students, which helps them to improve their social skills.
Moreover,
teachers are required in the learning process because they acknowledge some student’s
deficiencies and help them to solve their problems by repeating the same
explanation, giving extra exercises or even suggesting a private tutor. Hence,
students can have a bigger chance not to fail in a subject.
In
conclusion, the role for teachers in the learning process is still very
important and it will continue to be in the future because no machine can
replace the human interaction and its consequences.
