[IELTS] Do you think laws are needed to make people recycle more of their waste? As global warming and weather changing become more and more seriously, thought of garbage recycling has been risen up by people and governments in the few decades. Punishment to people who resist the laws related to environment and recycling has been taken for governments in lots of countries, and I believe it is still the most efficient way to keep encouraging people recycle more of their waste. For instance, people who don’t follow recycling instruction from governments correctly would be fine in Taiwan, and this kind of laws have been considered as an efficient way among governments and people to increase recycling. Some of my friends and elder in my family have started to do recycling to prevent from being punished. On the other hand, I think the way to increase recycling is not only making it legal, I would highly recommend that though of recycling needs to be taught since childhood. It is always prevention better than punishment. In Taiwan, children would start to learn the way to do recycling in first grade in elementary school which is one of responsibility to teacher. For example, they would be told rubbish could be separated into paper, plastic, canned and general waste based on the rules from governments. To sum up, punishment to people who don’t obey the laws would be the most efficient way generally. But also, education of recycling is also important to build up sense of environmental moral, and it needs to be taught since they are children.

[IELTS] Are traveling or working the only reason to learn foreign language? Learning foreign language has been essential due to globalization. Some people may think traveling and working are still the main reason for learning other language, but I think language learning could be considered as a way to boarder social networking. Foreign language learning has become one of major educational program in almost every country in the world. Language is a key access to reach more opportunities like pursuing a job in other country, higher education and so on. Or people may begin to learn foreign language just for traveling. It’s same reason for my mother to learn English, she has participated an online course about chatting with foreign people in 20 minutes per day to keep practicing oral skill. On the other hand, I think the reason for learning language is not only for business or travel but also just for casual reason like social networking or playing game. In my experience, I’ve started to play online game with players from other countries for several years because of the development of Internet. Co-working and communication skill were required in some occasion that made me speak with my teammates from United States, Canada in English. That was a way to learn foreign language in more casual way also remain entertained. To sum up, it has been necessary for people to learn foreign language to engage with the world, to expand your horizons. People may view language skill as a tool to seek opportunities in work or travel mostly, but there are still some different usages probably just for a casual reason.
