    Success is not something easily achieved, as it takes dedication and determination to reach their goal. Usually, success is related easily to individuals when they are wealthy and popular. But there are few characteristics which determine a successful person. This essay will give its opinion on how people relate success with being rich and famous; as well as discuss the qualities required for a successful person.

    To commence with, when thinking about being rich and famous is directly correlated with success. This occurs due to the belief that achieving a higher position will bring popularity and more wealth in one’s life but underestimate the hard-work. For instance, from young age children are taught if a person is wealthy and popular means he/she is successful like Bill Gates. But forget to mention the efforts put forward for achieving their goals. Furthermore, success does get you famous and brings income sometimes but it’s the efforts that matters more for the person.

    On the other hand, an accomplished individual always tends to shine usually because of their behavior towards other people. One may be successful but rude to others will be disrespected by its followers but when polite to people gets the person more popularity. For instance, footballer L. Messi gets easily noticed for his success but mainly because of his personality like being polite, dedicated, professionalism, etc. whereas, successful singer Drake is famous but not liked by many because of his attitude towards his fans. Hence, no matter how successful a person becomes he/she should be aware of its behaviour as that what makes them standout in the crowd.

    In conclusion, success is correlated with wealth and fame but hard-work and dedication matters as well as the qualities determine more about the person than the wealth.

    Travelling is something most enjoy but restricted due to circumstances for few people. Some argue taking a trip to foreign place is necessary to learn about the place whereas, other say, one can learn about abroad through technological devices. This essay will discuss the view and give opinion on, is travelling necessary to learn about foreign places or gaining information through technology is enough.

    To commence with, taking a trip to foreign places has it’s beneficial like the exploring new culture, and diversity, all together a different experience of memories which can’t be found by not travelling. For instance, when family travel to abroad, learn different things like, children pick up the language, mother is keen cuisine and father enjoys the architecture. Hence, the actual encounter of the place gives an adrenaline rush and enriching which is not likely to happen by not taking the trip and once a year a trip should be planned for new experience.

    Secondly, travelling is not easier to say and be done, it takes days of planning. As well as, the accommodations and cost of the trip is not affordable to everyone. Therefore, people tend to learn about abroad through TV and internet. For example, a student needs to write a report on unexplored foreign place which makes it difficult to travel in the last moment, so uses the source of technology to learn about the place. Hence, taking trip to abroad is good for exposure but not affordable so best way to acknowledge about yourself is by learning through devices.

    In conclusion, travelling is an essential part of life as it gives exposure and enriches a person which can’t be gained through devices. One may learn about it but experiencing the journey matters.

    Nowadays, every person seems to be addicted to their mobile phones. Hence, this lead to believe for few people that technology is driving individuals away from socializing. This essay agrees with statement as to some extent technology has its pros as well as cons.

    To commence with, devices like mobile phones are blessing in disguise. They have helped people connect others and strengthened their relationship as their able to communicate with anybody living far away. By this human beings have become more socially active. For example, in the olden times, communication was done through letters or in person but due to innovation the process of interaction is easier by just one click away and a message is sent. Moreover, social application like WhatsApp has enabled sending of videos, pictures, documents, etc. and by this people have become socially interactive with others.

    On the other hand, technological devices have its demerits for excess usage, which make people less social as they tend to have more of virtual relationship than real life relationship. Lately, People having been spending more time on their mobile phones and less time with their family and friends. For instance, earlier people used to gather around spend quality time together by discussing about their life status but now people are more likely to be involved in their phones and interact less. Hence, due to this reason individuals are becoming socially disabled and isolating themselves.

    In conclusion, technology has been of great help but when used excessively it has showed detrimental effects to mankind. Hence, it is up to people how to wisely they utilise technological inventions for socialization.

    August 17, 2021 at 9:09 PM in reply to: Writing Task 2 (Opinion [Positive or Negative? ]

    Lately, many local small retail stores have gone out of business due to the lack of customers as most purchasers buy their commodities at the supermarkets or megamalls these days. Although such a phenomenon has brought some conveniences, I believe, overall, this is a negative development as it has severe impacts on the life of the local community.

    To begin with, people, these days, enjoy all the comfort and convenience of modern shopping in large shopping malls. These huge malls are one-stop shops where customers can purchase everything they require as well as get discounts, reward points and other facilities. For instance, Phoenix Mall is where shoppers go to buy groceries, clothes, electrical goods, gadgets and many other products all under one roof. Places like shopping centres also offers a feeling of security and safety, for example, as children can be left in a supervised play area while parents can shop without worrying and enjoy their time.

    However, despite these facilities, shopping at supermalls has led to devastating consequences. Firstly, it has created unemployment by snatching bread and butter from small shop owners. Various studies were conducted which revealed that unemployment tends to increase with the rise of supermalls. For instance, local shops are hardly visited due to lack of purchasing options. Small shops provide basic necessity but in a limited range whereas, malls are able to provide their customers with a larger number of purchasing options.

    To conclude, it seems reasonable that this trend is ultimately harmful to the community despite some positive aspects. Therefore, we should buy more from local retailers to save them in the long run.

    It is believed by some people that parents should motivate their children in participation of group activities during their free time. on the other hand, few people argue saying children should spend their free time on their own. In my opinion, group learning has more pros than self-learning.

    To begin with, engaging in group activities can strengthen children’s social skills. Socializing with other people in the group can help children to learn team-work capabilities and they end up gaining confidence. For instance, motivating juveniles to enroll in activities like football, friendly competitions that can help them to acquire and gain skills required to cope with the pressure of working in groups and learning competing with others in a healthy manner. Furthermore, group activities are safe because they are always guided by a supervisor of the team. This helps them to be disciplined and it can be beneficial for them in the future.

    On the other hand, when children are asked to keep themselves occupied on their own, they are more likely to spend their time playing video games and browsing the internet. While, this could have serious implications for their health and even in academic. Also, staying in front of the television or computer all day will hurt their social skills by isolating themselves. When children engage in group activities during free time, it shows improvement. However, currently this is not happening these days as kids prefer staying home playing video games and not leave their comfort zone.

    To conclude, spending time in group activities can help children to develop skills of team work. However, if children are told to keep themselves busy on their own, they might just waste time by either playing video games or watching series.

    August 6, 2021 at 11:46 AM in reply to: WRITING TASK 2 agree or disagree (too many choices)

    According to people this modern life provides with wide range of choices in everything like in education, shopping, food, vacation, etc. Personally, I agree with the statement as the coming time period the facilities and choices have not been restricted.

    Firstly, we have been provided with variety of options in the education field than before. For instance, during olden times there wasn’t many demands of education but now people have a large number of opportunities to pick for studying like psychology, history, entrepreneurship, marine studies, business studies, etc. Moreover, not just education but more areas have many choices too like Food. People prefer experimenting with their options with dinning, as they may try to feast on Italian cuisine and the next day of Chinese. Consumers are delighted when presented with different products for comparison so that they can buy the one most adapted to their need or want.

    A further area where an individual has a huge number of choices is while deciding for the holidays, be it for destination countries, hotels, Airbnb and places to visit. Many travel agencies are contacted as they offer different packages, sometimes the same package is proposed at a cheaper price in other agencies. In such a situation people enjoy options to choose the best and the most suited. However, it is true that sometimes having a large number of choices can be time consuming for example looking shoes example, looking at different brands of a particular basic good which probably differ in many ways according to their brand name. However, it is always a smart idea to compare and choose the perfect good.

    In conclusion, I believe that in today’s world, we have many options to choose from such as in the area of education, food and travelling as people enjoy the choice of options and choose what they prefer best for them.

  • In this modern era, a sedentary lifestyle becoming more and more popular among society even after having a large number of gyms available. This essay will discuss associated problems connected with above mentioned situation and propose some possible solutions to avoid them.

    To begin with, there are two main problems are connected with this statement. One of the first problems is constant sitting creates many health issues such as obesity and diabetes. Another problem that needs to be considered; physical inactivity leads to unhappy mood, which can lead to extreme laziness, overeating, frustration, weak, etc. For example, according to the survey said that more than 70% of people are affected with backache in everyday life cause of inactivity. Furthermore, this may cause people to turn to some bad habits such as smoking and drinking alcohol. This will have even more serious negative ramifications for an individual.

    However, above mentioned problems can be overcome. If people are acknowledged about all consequences of a sedentary way of life, they will try avoid them. Firstly, a simple solution would be to promote active lifestyle. In fact, one should try to include a couple of household chores in their day-to-day life. For instance, washing clothes, utensils, gardening, as they require major muscle moments. Moreover, inactive lifestyle is gaining popularity because nowadays a lot of people prefer fast food over homecooked food. More advertisement should be associated with promoting a healthy life style.

    In conclusion, even though this sedentary lifestyle causes a lot of health problems, the most effective solution is to increase the level of fitness among the society by advertising physical activity also show the impact of sedentary lifestyle so people will be more encouraged to have a healthy life.

    July 27, 2021 at 1:12 PM in reply to: IELTS Essay Writing -7 (Outdoor Activities)

    It is often argued that children should spend more time on outdoor activities than on computer games. Not only do I completely agree with this idea, but I also believe that computer games are quite detrimental to a child’s development.

    Outdoor activities are beneficial to children in many ways. Human beings are meant to be a part of nature, and constantly being trapped in unnatural environments limits children’s ability to develop physically, mentally, and emotionally. For example, humans are not designed to sit in a chair for long periods of time, be it in a classroom or in an office, as it has detrimental effects on their bodies. Spending time outdoors helps to remedy this problem by allowing people to move freely by this helps in strengthen overall well-being. Furthermore, few studies have proven that children who spend more time outdoors and in nature are far less stressed and more mentally and emotionally stable than those who spend less time outdoors and more time watching television or playing computer games.

    On the other hand, children can improve their interpersonal skills by joining in outdoor activities. This is to say, instead of playing videogames in front of screens, children have more chances to have face-to-face interactions with their peers when they spend time outdoors. Playing outdoors develops many skills like empathy, teamwork, social skills, and many more which helps in preparing for future workplace environment. For instance, a psychological research shows that children who were exposed to outdoor activities have developed excellent social skills. Therefore, it is important for children to spend enough time engaging with peers at outdoor activities.

    To conclude, outdoor activities have resulted to be more beneficial to children than computer activities. Therefore, children should be encouraged to attend more outdoor activities with friends as it improves children’s physical fitness, but also cultivate their social skills. I highly recommend children to spend time with friends in outdoor activities rather than using computers.

    Social networking sites, for instance Facebook, are thought by few it has a detrimental effect on individual people as well as worldwide. However, I believe that such sites are largely beneficial to an individual, but I agree that these sites have a damaging effect.

    With regards to individuals, the impact of social media has had on each individual person has clearly benefited. Firstly, people from different countries are able to connect easily through such sites as Facebook whereas before the development of technology and social networking sites, people rarely had the chance to meet or communicate with anyone outside of their immediate circle or community. For example, Facebook had such impact worldwide which offer individuals a chance to communicate easily and share common interests.

    On the other hand, the effect that Facebook and other social networking sites have had on society has noticed a negative impact. Rather than people taking part in local activities, they insist on using social media and which is causing a restriction of people gathering. Furthermore, society as a whole is becoming increasingly disjointed and fragmented as people spend more time online with people they have never met rather than communicating with locals.

    To conclude, although social networking sites have brought individuals closer together and has been beneficial but they have caused detrimental effect on the society or local communities. People should do more to try and involve with others in local activities in order to promote the future of healthy life than being constrained.

    July 20, 2021 at 12:02 PM in reply to: WRITING TASK 2- ADVANTAGE DISADVANTAGE ESSAY

    Over the years, English has become one of the prominent languages in the world as people believe that it has become an universal language while other languages gradually tend to disappear. But, even though, it has advantages, there are lots of disadvantages too. This essay will examine the main advantages and drawbacks of having a single universal language.

    The main advantages of having a single language rather than multiple local languages are ease of communication among several countries and which can improve inter-country relationship. Due to having sole language spoken all over the world will make communication convenient. Furthermore, trade and business opportunities between two nations can be efficient. People can communicate from one corner of the world to another corner which will surely help in globalization. Moreover, tourists can be benefitted and comforted to explore more without facing difficulties in communicating.

    On the contrary, the main disadvantage would be countries will lose their uniqueness and language diversity. Although it is possible to make English the primary language of a country, it is really difficult for every country to attain the level of fluency as a native speaker, cause the accent differs from one country to another. For instance, Canada, Australia, and the US have English as their primary language. But they differ in their accent. Furthermore, this leads to an extinction of local language and local culture that have been preserved by the ancestors for a long time which in all makes them loose their true value.

    In conclusion, a single universal language is definitely beneficial for every country and improves the relationship among them, but it is certainly harmful for the local language and damages the local culture in future.
