IELTS writing 2 - 20 dec 2014 Question: Some parents would like to choose a career for their children, what is your opinion about this? Why? Answer: Nowadays, it is a common phenomenon that children are trained and equipped much earlier than before, some parents even prepares a master plan on their future designated job. This approach might sometimes be a blessing or could be a curse. I will examine the possible reasons and my personal view is that children should have their freedom of choice. The fundamental condensation of parents in preparing career path is the future wages. It seems to make perfect sense that typical grown-ups, who are suppose to be mature and sophisticated enough, ought to have the ability to choose the most prospective career path. A good illustration on this is that, after exposing and experiencing in different working environments (which youngsters are usually lack of) adults could analyze which categories would become the future hot spots in job market. Parents care about the remuneration of their kids’ future job the most. Nevertheless, under the perspective of personal development, I could not appreciate with the general parents’ viewpoint. As more important than money is exploring potentials of children; interests and curiosities of them would be deterred by a predetermined plan. Instead of preparing a career path, parents should focus on the strengths and weaknesses of their kids, guiding and advising them to develop distinctive abilities. Thus, our future generation would figure out the most suitable and enjoyable job in the coming future. To conclude, I believe choosing career by parents is not an appropriate way for their children. Despite the fact that adults have the greater edges on choosing profitable job, their over-protection would restrict the possibilities on children. Although money is essential for our life sustaining, it should not always be the highest priority, and room for multiple development is more desired on childhood.

IELTS writing ex: international sporting events Q Some people believe that international sporting events are the ideal opportunity to show the world the qualities of the hosting nation. Other believe that these events are mainly a large unjustifiable expenses. To what extent do you agree or disagree. A Nowadays, there is a phenomenon that that countries are competing on each other to qualify for the global sporting events. For instance, up to some developed areas like London, or down to some developing countries like China, were participating to become the Olympic game hosting nation. There exists some proponents praise the hostage, while some are oppose to it. Personally, I believe the benefits of hosting outweigh the drawbacks. A successful event launched can be an extremely profitable business to the hosting country. It is no doubt that during the event, the hosting nation will become tourism hot spot. Tens of thousands of tourists can be attracted all over the globe. Not only fames could be granted, a lot of substantial financial income would be generated simultaneously. Though, some opposing people may argue that money could be spent on some livelihood matters instead of some extravagant events, or become wastage. It will become wastage, only if the costs and expenditures are not fully planned and organized. A balance profit and loss can be attained by tourists’ spending and accommodation services income. Another critical merit is that launching an international sports event could become the catalyst of city development, it could be categorized into two perspectives-‘before’ and ‘after’. Before the shortlisted city is ready for a gianormous event, couple of infrastructure like networks or transports has to be prepared. Those improvements are upgrading the country itself, especially for the developing nations. Another perspective is the post-event effects. Some claimed that after launching the sports events, different venues or stadiums would be abandoned, and thus, becoming redundancy. Indeed, there are many real life examples, like China, who solves the problem by transforming the big nest venue to be some memorial sites for visiting; likewise, some stadiums can also be utilized to host local sports event later on. By and large, the international event could bring variety of virtues towards a city or country during and after it. To conclude, the international sports events are definitely worth investing; from the financial gain and city development aspects, those events are being fought amo

IELTS Writing 2 practice (2) Space exploration Question: Space exploration requires vast sums of money. Is the amount of money spent on space research justifiable? Could the money be better spent? Answer: Exploring our universe is an inevitable trend among industrialized countries. Given that there exists hundreds of thousands known and mysterious resources which could be explored, it is a huge temptation to implement different costly approaches. However, we are already facing various kinds of disasters and diseases on our earth, so, is it really appropriate to spend huge on the outer space? The money is definitely worth investing, if it is concerning about the long term development for mankind. Under no circumstances could we escape from the extinction of disposable resources; especially fossil fuels like coals or oils; we should genuinely consider as many substitutes as possible. On the contrary, some may claim that adopting renewable energy like solar or wind energy could tackle the energy crisis, instead of making space exploration. Indeed, until now the technology level of those resources is not mature enough to meet the current gianormous demand. Thus, the energy difficulty seemingly may be only relieved by out-space resources in short run. Simultaneously, is that probable and appropriate to spend the whole majority funding on space, instead of our planet earth? Despite the fact that, countries, since roughly around the period of cold war, are participating in space competition to certain extent; it is generally argued that money should be spent on livelihoods, like income gap elimination or global staring alleviation. In my opinion, developed countries like USA or Germany should draft agreements on mutual-development on space resources, thus, a more balance on universe and earth issues could be attained, rather than competing endlessly on their knowledge and capital. To conclude, it is an extremely complex issue cannot be solved in short term. Running out of resource is definitely an urgent event, likewise, so as the environmental and social issues. Space is tend to be infinite, like the greed of human, I yearn for a more balanced accomplishment could be generated and agreed among countries for a more effective development, in order to achieve a better place to live.

IELTS Writing 2 practice Question: In recent years, there has been a considerable rise in crimes committed by young people in cities. What has caused this? What solutions can you suggest? Answer: There has been dramatically increasing number of youth crimes committed over the past few years. The phenomenon is being worsen and the trend seems to rocket in an exponential momentum. In my opinion, the fundamental cause ought to be the widespread of internet and Smartphone. It is evident that sharing, even some criminal offenses, on social media are a modern trendy act. Due to the easier access to different websites; acting, recording and posting the “bravery activities” are regarded as triumph among adolescences. According to some news reports, there were even some young bank robberies who had posted the money they robbed to their facebook page solely for show off. Smartphone and web addiction are undoubtedly a catalyst of the trend. Likewise, the crazy and indecent lifestyles of celebrities are enormously exposed to our teenagers among these decades. The mindset of teens is not fully developed typically, they can be easily affected by the behaviours of idols, especially the idols they adore and fancy with. For instance, Justin Biebier, the famous pop star was claimed to be drug abuse in different occasions; home, parties or nightclubs, his younger fans tend to follow and admit on those inappropriate acts, and finally, mimic their idols they saw on internet. There is a common believe that prevention is better than cure, but the question is, how? I do believe it can be done in two separate ways. First, parents should put more effort and time to guide their children to a right path. More importantly, funding should be granted by government to hire famous stars to be ambassadors of crime prevention, as the effectiveness of an idol is far more higher than normal advertisement, we should promote them to alleviate the worsen youth crime situation.
