Some people think that dangerous sports should be banned While some people believe that extreme sports should be prohibited, others consider that people ought to choose any kind of sport they want. Although, two sides of this approach exist I think that adults deserve to choose type of activity they want participate in regardless of positional threat. In order to advocate first approach is the fact, that teenagers and sometimes adults cannot be fully aware of risks for his or her life in such kind of activities. Human life is precious. Family members would be devastated if their young member die or became disabled due to participation in extreme sport events. In addition to choose, extreme sport may be considered as an autoaggressive behavior, so it indicates that person decided to do dangerous activity is vulnerable, because he or she has physiological traumas. If extreme sport would be banned, more people can save their health or even life. However, I think that mature people can opt for any sport they like. Firstly, there are not strict criteria, what kind of sport can be considered as a dangerous for human life. For example, even during a chess competition there are some risks for human health, because the brain vessels are full or blood in order to handle high thinking activity, hence vessel wall might rupture person might have a stroke. On the other hand, people involved in a dangerous sport can be fully aware of potential danger extreme sport bring and do all measures to support themselves and rescue each other if needed. These people generally good friends, because everyone can rely on each other in any case. Moreover, athletes are reluctant to smoke and drink alcohol, so in benefits individuals and society in terms of health and life expectancy. In conclusion, there are different views about extreme sports; I think that adult person should be free to select any sports he or she like in a condition of applying all safety measures needed.

Traffic issues Increasing payments required for owning a car is one way to coupe with traffic jams in the sites, because it will make a car-owning less affordable, thus fewer people will use a car. However, there are another ways to mitigate the congestion in the sites, such as improving roads quality, make some facilities for bicycles and scooters and to change working schedules for office workers in order to abolish the rush hour. It is obvious, that if the expenses for car owning will increase, less people would drive a car, because it became unaffordable for them. If less amount of city population will drive cars, less congestion will be created. If streets will be spare from traffic, it will reduce not only traffic, but also environmental pollution issue. However, it is not the best solution, because people are not happy with paying more for public services. For example, the problem, which creates a congestion in many countries, is poor and narrow roads. If the roads were wider and better, more vehicles could go through good roads, so less traffic jams would be exist. Another point to consider is making a separate pathway for bicycles and scooters in a city. Many people would prefer this kind of transportation, because it is not only an additional way to commute to work, but also an exercise. In addition, bicycle utilization will reduce an air pollution by fossil fuels, so it will be beneficial both an individual and society. In my opinion, another good measure in order to mitigate heavy traffic is a creation differences in working shifts for non-emergency workers. When not the vast majority of workers have to work from 9 to 5, people would commute to work in a different hours, so city might be got rid of congestion which linked with the rush hour. To sum up, the imposition of higher tax on private vehicles, increasing the capacity of roads and highways, encouraging people to ride a bicycles and to alternate working shifts for some people can be used to tackle the menace of traffic congestion in cities.

The influence of tourism in terms of languages Tourism gradually lead the society to an increase of prominence of English language. Some people consider that English will be the only language, which people going to use globally. This essay is aiming to provide the main benefits and drawbacks of having a single spoken language in the world. The most obvious advantage of having one language as a lingua franca as ease of communication among multiple countries and access their resources. English will become the uniform standard of the education and science. For instance, due to a single language, it would be relatively easy to exchange foreign students and workers, take the best from different educational approaches, and share useful skills. Moreover, in case of single language in mass media, advertising, TV programs, publishing books will be cheaper to make and some precise details of information would not be lost due to translation. Another reason to mention the only spoken language could facilitate personal interactions, international marriages, which are will help to expand the gene pool and people can expect healthier progeny. The main disadvantage of having the single spoken language is the extinction of cultural diversity, customs and traditions. In some nationalities, cultural heritage has thousands of years of history that have been preserved by the ancestors. Furthermore, not only anthem and flag, but also the state language are the symbols of national identity. That is why if people will lose their languages they will be less patriotic. In that case, people can lose a strong desire to represent the country they belong to in the best possible way. So, mankind will lose a competitive environment, which promote a personal and national growth. To sum up, people need to have a lingua franca for establishing intercultural communications, but at the same time to use their local languages and dialects, in order to preserve cultural heritage.

The essay about the impact of technology Some people claim that technology increases the quality of our life, while others consider technological development as a way of manipulating people’s daily routine and even creating an addiction. I think despite the advantages technical development brings to modern world; we should restrict an influence of technology in our way of living. It is undeniable that because of digital achievements our surroundings have become more convenient to live in. For example, we have access to information about weather conditions, traffic jams, other people’s opinions about certain services, etc. It helps to save time and money and be aware of some difficulties, and avoid it. Additionally, the digital world offers us a huge source of up-to-date information and creates opportunity to connect with anybody all over the globe. However, modern technologies can be intrusive and cross people’s boundaries. For example, video cameras and digital navigation everywhere creates an uncomfortable feeling that somebody is constantly watching and suspecting you. In addition, people have private information stored in their mobile phones and internet accounts, so in case of hacking private data can be available. Moreover, nowadays some crime, such as fraud, might be committed electronically. Another point to consider is that some people, especially teenagers, spent a lot of time surfing the internet and using their smartphones. For instance, my friends during a date were texting to each other instead of talking, even though, they were sitting next to each other. It prevents them from being engaged with real life events and it is one of the reasons of generation gap and shifted their values from traditional ones like trustworthiness, respect, and friendship to material possession. To sum up, it is indisputable that technology has become a crucial part of our lives, and it has both negative and positive effects on us. Nevertheless, I believe that the benefits of technology outweigh its drawbacks, but people should be more engaged in a real-life communication.

Some people think that employers should not care about the way their employees dress Some people think that employers should not care about the way their employees dress, because what matters is the quality of their work. To what extent do you agree or disagree? In the modern workplace, dress codes are changing and employers consider more important the quality of work, rather than how empowers look like. While I agree that at the majority jobs settings dress codes are irrelevant, I consider that in some jobs wearing uniform carries practical and safety function. On the one hand, many employers do not require the way how workers should be dressed. In many situations, this approach seems practical and logical. To illustrate this quality of software production or report writing does not correlate with the way employees dress. Moreover, it is unhealthy to wear a suit and jacket in a hot weather and poor climate control in workplaces and that reason is more significant that wearing official clothes in any case. Moreover, big companies such as Google and Facebook are famous for creating relaxed office environment. Their workers are encouraged to follow a casual style, such as T-shirts and jeans and simple dresses. Despite of this freedom I presume, employees of such technological giants are expected to do an excellent job and this attitude allovers Google and Facebook companies to dominate in their job niche. However, I consider that wearing uniform is crucial for some jobs, where a body (skin, airways etc.) protection with special clothes and other wearing devises is a matter of life. For example, fire fighters, cockroaches’ exterminators, workers in a nuclear technology field etc., cannot work without individual protection costumes. Moreover, in some professions such as doctors and nurses, flight attendants people are expected them to wear uniform not only for practical reason, but also to identify the person’s position or role in society. Some people, such as CEO of big companies, lawyers, politicians may prefer to wear formal clothing in order to portray an image of trustworthiness and diligence, even if it not necessary. To sum up, I agree that in many situations a strict dress codes can be neglected, but in others job positions wearing uniform is an essential part of job requirements.

ielts task one The first diagram provides us with information how cement can be manufactured, whilst the second picture depicts details of concrete production. From the given process, five stages of cement production can be distinguished and described. Firstly beginning with putting raw materials into the crusher and ended up with a powder formation. Than this powder is then mixed before, it passes into a rotating heater. Next stage is about mixing a resulting mixture with ground and finally cement can be packed to large bags. From the second diagram, it is clear, that in order to manufacture concrete four ingredients should be put together in a concrete mixer. To be precise, concrete consists of 50% gravel, 25% sand, 15% cement and 10% water mixed up in rotating machine called a concrete mixer.

Nowadays we live in a modern world that has not much in common with our past Nowadays we live in a modern world that has not much in common with our past or past of our grandparents. We live in the epoch of technological development and our world is constantly in a state of flux and our leisure time has changed too. Modern youngsters just find a new way of spending free time in computer and PC games. Playing such games sometimes is the only way for them to distinct from the harsh reality they live in. Adults complain about teenagers who stopped noticing them or their duties such as studying at school or housework. They are afraid of a possible addition. Moreover, constant messages from mass media about teenagers who were playing over 7-10 hours and finally got a heart attack or problems with cerebral circulation has made adults impose strict restrictions on using a computer in their families. They are anxious about their children lifestyle: children prefer gaming to play football outside, they are chatting with friends instead of having a real conversation. However, another point of view exists too. Some of us are sure that computer games contribute to our reaction and our mindset: arcades make us find an unusual solution. Such games can make us puzzled and it is their advantage because brain cracking is necessary at any age! Moreover, now some youngsters play computer games to earn their first money. I personally know people who won international cyber competitions the prize found of which reached a thousand dollars. Thanks to computer gaming not as a hobby but as a professional sport my ex-classmate bought his first car! In conclusion, I would say that such a tendency is a double sward for our generation and computer gaming bare fruits and not harm us if we find the right balance between the virtual and real life.

Observation, Reason, Human Understanding, Courage; These Make the Physician. Apart from in-depth medical knowledge and a desire to help people, observation combined with reason is a crucial aspect of medicine. The physician must be able to note and interpret symptoms accurately and utilize knowledge and reason to make a diagnosis and decide on a correct course of action. I believe that human understanding and empathy are the most important qualities of a medical professional. The doctor who says there are 20 cases of pneumonia and 30 cases of nephritis may have lost sight of the fact that patients are people. In addition, patients have different emotional sensitivities. It's important for the medical professional to be aware that he or she may need to have uncomfortable conversations and ask personal questions and to help the patient understand why it may be necessary for those boundaries to be crossed. Finally, the medical professional should have the courage to take risks, give opinions, deliver bad news, and ask for help when needed. So while I generally agree with this quote, I would add that the four qualities mentioned are necessary but not sufficient for being a good physician.
