MODEL OF SCHOOL # ESSAY FOR IELTS


August 5, 2015 Chief Editor Leave a comment

Some people think that it is better to educate boys and girls in


separate schools. However , others believe that boys and girls
benefit more by attending mixed schools.
Discuss both sides and give your opinion.
Write at least 250 words.

In most countries, single sex and mixed schools exist and it is up to the
parents or the children to decide which model is better for them. There are
opinions that it is effective to teach boys and girls in separate schools while
some others believe that teaching the pupils together is a better way.
However, I believe that both the models have their own benefits and
drawbacks and it is up to the individual whether they are able to change the
drawbacks into benefits.
Single sex schools offer great benefits. Firstly, there are no gender biases in
the schools. For instance, a boy need not to feel awkward while choosing a
cookery class and a girl might not feel weird to be part of the boxing club.
This helps the individuals to grow and learn things that they love irrespective
of other peoples opinion. Secondly, during the growing years a child
experiences hormonal changes. Studying in a single sex school allows them
to concentrate more on their studies.
On the other hand, many educationalist believe that mixed schools prepare
children for their future lives. They help in growing a child emotionally and
saves them from the awkwardness they might face in later years when have
to work with the other gender. Even more, children learn a lot from each

other in mixed schools and develop skills that could be beneficial for them in
later years.
Personally, I have been to a mixed school and it has helped me in interacting
in a better way with the opposite sex. However when I hear the stories of my
friends who had been to single sex school, I even realize they had fun in a
completely different way.
Overall, in my opinion, both the schools offer great learning and in the end it
completely depends on the individual on how well they are able to grasp
from the environment.

Children As Member Of Society # Essay For IELTS Dehradun

A child education is not about learning few basic skills, it is about


understanding the things around and learning the art of living harmoniously
in a society. There are believers who assume that it is the responsibility of
parents to teach children the etiquettes to live in a society. However, there
are even individuals who think that teaching a child is the work that must be
done in the school. I, although stand by the fact that responsibility of making
the next generation better members of society has to be shared by both
parents and teachers.
Parents are the first teachers of a child and it is in the growing years of a
child that he/she forms his/her personality. It is not only what you say to the
kid during those years, but also what he or she observes, defines the person
he/she will be. It is therefore the responsibility of the parents to make sure
that the child lives in a healthy environment and sees the good things about
the world. Even more we live in a society where what seems right to one
might not be to others. For instance, coming late at home is acceptable for
some while may not be for others. Hence, it is the task of the parents to
teach their kids how to be respectable to others and yet maintain their
individuality.

However, there come a stage when the child moves out of the comfort zone
and enters the school. This is the time when he/she becomes part of a wider
community and his/her peers and teachers have the same influence. It then
comes upon the teacher to make sure that the child is getting the right value
education. It is there that a child must be taught how to co-operate with
each other and contribute to the society.
Overall, in my opinion, learning goes on for the entire life and the task of
teaching cannot be shed to a single person. It is the shared responsibility of
every member of the society.

TALENT OR HARD WORK # ESSAY FOR IELTS


August 3, 2015 Chief Editor Leave a comment

It is often believed that some people are born with talents, for
example in sport or music. However, it is sometimes claimed that
anyone could be taught to become a good sportsman or musician.
Discuss both views and give your opinions.

Hard work wins if talent does not works hard. The importance of talent and
hard work has been put into debate several times before. Although some
people believe that anyone can be taught anything with continued practice,
there are even opposing views, which believe that it is very important to
have some innate capabilities before you can nurture on them. I believe that
although anyone can acquire a skill, but if the natural talent of an individual
is worked on, they reach a higher level of success.
A child is like a clay, the way you mould it ,the shape it takes. If the child
from the beginning is taught a particular sport, for example, basketball,
chances are high that the time, he/she reaches youth, he/she will be
excellent in the game. The best example of such a practice is our education
system, wherein all students are taught sports, music, academics etc.

However, as is often seen, in a class of ten who are taught a particular sport
or music, there is someone who does it extremely well, although he or she
practices the same. They need not to learn the basic rules to apply them,
somehow they know it before hand. For example, in my bharatnatyam class,
there were many who did the steps technically correct, but there were even
some, who need not to learn all the techniques to do them correctly. If such
an individual learns all the techniques, he/she will do it far better. Even more,
you can teach how to sing, but you rarely can change the voice.
Overall, I am of the view that anyone can be taught anything but to reach
the highest level of excellence in fields like sport or music, it is important to
have some innate talent. However, if an individual does not works on their
talents, the person working hard on it will surely succeed.

JOB SATISFACTION # ESSAY FOR IELTS


August 2, 2015 Chief Editor Leave a comment

You should spend about 40 minutes on this task.


Write about the following topic:
Some people argue that it is important to have an enjoyable job
than to earn a lot of money. Others disagree and think that a good
salary leads to a better life.
Discuss both these views and give your opinion.
Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your
own knowledge and experience.
Write at least 250 words.
Most people do a particular job to earn money and lead a luxurious life while there are
even some who follow the untraded path and define success on their own terms. I
believe that since work takes a lot of time of our lives, we must make sure that we love
it. However, not everyone is fortunate enough to follow their own heart. In this essay, I
will discuss both views and present my
opinion.
Doing what makes sense to us, although requires lot of courage, brings great
benefits along with it. Firstly, achieving success is never tough. When you do
what you love, you do it more often. Most importantly, you pour your heart
out on it and this leads to success. Secondly, loving your job allows you to
lead a more meaningful life. For example-: Steve jobs loved computers and it
was only because he loved it, he was able to revolutionize the field of
computers. Thirdly, you may not earn money, but you surely earn yourself. A
person who enjoys his/her work, tends to live a more happy life and is often
seen to respect oneself more.
However, earning less money and doing an enjoyable job may not make
sense to many. Most people have tough financial conditions, which makes it
difficult for them to choose satisfactory job above money. For instance-: a
person who is the sole bread earner of a family will surely choose a high
earning job to ensure a good life to their family. Secondly, most people dont

understand the importance of job satisfaction. They believe that happiness


can always be bought from the market and for that you need money. This is
often seen in people who come from a poor background because they have
seen a life of starvation.
I believe that no matter how bad the situation is you must always strive to
follow your heart. Doing something only for money, not only lowers down
your self-esteem but also deprives you of the real fun in life that comes from
doing the work you love.

IMPORTANCE OF FASHION # ESSAY FOR IELTS


July 31, 2015 Chief Editor Leave a comment

Some argue that fashion items cost too much money. Others say
that is acceptable because fashion is an important part of life.
Discuss both views and give your opinion.
Write at least 250 words.

Fashion is an art of living. Although some people are of the opinion that living
fashionably is very costly, others support it by arguing that the high cost is
acceptable owing to the fact, that, fashion is an essential part of our lives.
Although fashion brings with it high cost, I believe looking at the broader
sense of it makes one realize the importance of fashion.
Some people believe that fashion has a high price to pay. For example-: the
bags of Prada, a fashion house, although are excellent but too expensive. In
scenarios like these, trying to live up to date could turn out to be nightmare
for some. Secondly, most of the fashionable clothes or shoes are very
expensive. Buying such clothes can lead to a hole in the pocket.Some
people, often consider fashion with brands and as a result spend lot of
money on them. This has even caused debt in many cases. For example-: In
many countries buying an apple phone is termed with living in tech space
and often gets associated with an individuals identity. People often to show
off buy such phones in loan.

However, others argue that living in fashion makes life more beautiful.
Firstly, fashion allows us to look presentable. Often, while working or during
interviews, looking presentable is very important.
Even more while meeting new people, if you look presentable chances are
they will hear you with an extra ear. Secondly, fashion is an art. For
example-: if a person decorates his/her house with candles, the house surely
looks good and this is part of fashion. Even more, some countries like Paris
has beautifully decorated roads and walls. It makes walking on them more
peaceful and exciting. All of this, often ignored but is part of fashion.
To sum up, fashion is not buying branded clothes and shoes, it is an art which
surely could even be practiced with less of money. Although fashion could be
quite expensive but we need to get out of the illusion of taking expensive
things as fashion and understand the real meaning of fashion.

BOTH PARENTS WORKING # ESSAY FOR IELTS


July 30, 2015 Chief Editor Leave a comment

In todays competitive world, many families find it necessary for


both the parents to go out to work. While some say the children in
these families benefit from the additional income, others feel they
lack support because of their parents absence. Discuss both views
and give your opinion.
Write 250 words.
The world has encountered great revolutions, inventions and wars in the past
few centuries. This has led to the change in the way the world and its people
function. Gone are the days when women had to do purdah or they were
denied voting powers. This is the era when women empowerment is being
demanded by men. We are living in times when there is more of equality and
moreover the competitive levels have significantly increased. We all want to
live a luxurious life and this has led to a trend of both parents working.

There are people of the opinion that it is important for both the parents to
work in such competitive times, if they want to survive. Working parents do
bring in great advantages along with. Firstly, they are able to provide better
facilities and standard of living to their children. Secondly, if both parents
work, it ensures that they both are making good use of the education that
they have taken. Even more, working makes a person more independent.
On the other hand, few believe that if both parents work, it deprives the child
of the care and the nurture he/she deserves. This happens when the child is
in his/her growing years. Parents are the best teachers and their absence
surely creates a void which no tuition teacher can fill. Even more, if children
dont see their parents often in their growing years, they tend to lose contact
with them, causing troubles in later years.
Overall, a balanced life can always be the way out. Leaving job might make
several talented individuals dependent on their better halves and keeping it
might be unfair to their children. I believe that both the parents should do a
job if they can give their undue attention to the child and his/her life before
they go out to work.

TEENAGE CONFLICT # ESSAY FOR IELTS


July 28, 2015 Chief Editor Leave a comment

Some people view teenage conflict with their parents as a necessary


part of growing up, whilst others see it as something negative which
should be avoided. Discuss both views and give your opinion.
Write at least 250 words.
The most vulnerable years of a persons life are the teenage years, the years
when a child gets rational, observes things around us with his/her own
perspective and forms an image that lives with them for a long period of
time. Apart from the external changes, a teenage even undergoes hormonal
changes and they discover a new aspect of their body. All of these changes,
internal and external, account for questions and confusions amongst them,
often leading to conflicts.

Although some people are of the opinion that the conflicts must be avoided, I
believe such frays are natural and must be handled with more wisdom than
simple avoidance.
Everyone sees the world with their own unique lenses. As a result parents
and children often have different points of view. For example-: A child on
observing things around forms an opinion that God does not exist. Trying to
suppress such thoughts and naming him/her as atheist, will only worsen the
situation, as is often seen teenagers tend to feel lonely. Allowing such
opinions to exist in their children, parents make them more independent and
teach them that they need to stand by their own decisions and opinions and
it is perfectly fine to be different. Suppressing them would make them more
submissive in the later years of their lives.
Although, recently it has been observed that crimes committed by teenagers
have increased in the past decade. The figures surely make parents
concerned about their children. At this point suppressing conflicts is a better
way to approach, but it must be made sure that you take your children into
confidence first. Usually children are so scared of their parents that they
dont tell them the problems they are facing, often leading them to a
whirlpool end.
To sum up, it can be said that, a teenage is like the growing bud, we need to
make sure they get the right environment to grow in, so that they can think
independently and yet learn the difference between right and wrong.

PRIVATE INSTITUTIONS SHOULD BE BANNED


# ESSAY
July 26, 2015 Chief Editor Leave a comment

Do you think that private institutions should be banned ? Discuss


your opinions in 250 words.

A country runs on education. The better education it provides to the younger


generation, the higher economic success it will gain in later years. Keeping
this in mind, a country usually has both private as well as government
institutions. When establishing the institutions it is hoped that they would
stand by their words, and will provide excellent education. Although with
time, it has been observed that government run institutions lose their focus
and indulge in activities that have no concern with education. I, although,
still believe that private institutions should be banned.
Banning private institutions will surely come with great advantages. Firstly,
the quality of education in government schools and colleges will find hope of
improvement. It has been observed that until and unless people have no
other choice they dont raise their voice for reform. Secondly, the rise of
private institutions has led to a satisfaction with mediocrity. In no ways, it
means that private institutions instigate mediocrity, the point to be noted is
that with the rise of private institutions people have become more of show
off. For example-: Since the past decade the number of students doing
Bachelors In Technology has increased many folds. The reason being the
course is easily available in private institutions. As a result, people dont
introspect themselves more often and live a life under the pressure of
society.
On the other hand, absence of private institutions might be a reason of
upsurge amongst middle and high income people as the ban may be
misunderstood as a loss in their freedom of choice. Even more children with
special abilities are often cared more in private institutions and banning
them would be a major setback to them.
In nutshell, I would like to assert the importance of improving the quality of
government institutions. Private institutions do cater to every individuals
demands, but they often lead to either mediocrity or high level of
competition. So, according to me, private institutions should be banned.

ESSAY # DISCUSS BOTH SIDES EXPERIENCE / EDUCATION


July 25, 2015 Chief Editor Leave a comment

There are people of the opinion that to secure a good job it is important to
attend a university while others believe that it is better if you develop soft
skills and have an experience.
Discuss both sides.
Write the answer in at least 250 words.

SAMPLE ANSWER
Education is a relative term. On one hand, the most successful
entrepreneurs, politicians and other personalities are the ones who have
graduated from the worlds best universities; there is no dearth of people
who made it big, even though they didnt had any flashy certificates. The
world has divided itself on this issue. There are people of the opinion that a
degree of a well renowned university is essential for securing a good job,
others believe that it is the real life education that makes the difference.
Safety, is the first reason to support a university degree. If you have
completed your graduation from university, they provide you a 99%
assurance of good job. It could be either a campus placement or a offcampus one. Secondly, people often trust you more. A degree gives people
the reason to trust you. For example-: if a Harvard graduate asks for loan to
open his/her company, nor would it be easier to get the loan but also people
will be ready to support the project. Thirdly, you are saved from the everyday
battle. If you have a degree, you need not to fight with everyone for a
particular job. The competition reduces, making it all the more easier.
However, people who focus on their soft skills and experience, enjoy a
different way of living life. The way that is quite different from others. The
foremost advantage being that they experience life first hand. There is no
theory in their case, it is all practical. No rules that need to be followed, it is
all common sense and past experience that paves their way. For example-:
Jack ma, the founder of ali baba and the richest person in china was rejected

from Harvard ten times but it was his soft skills and the persistence to battle
that helped him open the e-commerce site.
Overall, it doesnt matters much whether you have a degree from a college
or experience of life. What matters is whether you have the vision to
monetize all what you have got and a deep desire to succeed in life.

TEACHING FOREIGN LANGUAGE # ESSAY FOR
IELTS
August 5, 2015 Chief Editor Leave a comment

Some people believe that it is better for individuals to learn a


foreign language in their primary schools rather than secondary
schools.
Do the advantages outweigh the disadvantages?
Give your answer and include any relevant example from your own
experience.
Write at least 250 words.

In recent times, more schools have started teaching foreign language in


secondary schools but some people argue that it must be taught in primary
schools. Teaching a foreign language in primary schools brings with it both
positive and negative impacts. In this essay, I will discuss both the
advantages and disadvantages of it.
On the brighter side of the coin, beginning a foreign language in the primary
schools has great benefits. Firstly, it is very easy for a child to pick up a
language. Therefore, learning a language in early years is very easy for them
and also very effective. Secondly, kids have short period of classes included
with games. Learning a new language in such a play centric environment will
be natural for them. Thirdly, it allows the children the exposure of a new
culture right from the beginning. It also helps them to learn a new language
in later years of life.
However, there are some disadvantages as well. Firstly , the teachers of
primary schools are generalist. It might be possible that they themselves
dont have a good command over the language. Secondly, bringing in

specialist might harm the flexibility that is very important for a child. Thirdly,
every individual learns at its own pace and own level. So there are chances
that when a student enters the secondary level, some have great knowledge
of the language while others dont. This could make it tough for the teachers
of secondary school.
Overall, I believe that anything that supports learning a new language must
be cherished. Although there are some disadvantages, they can be
overcome. Even more learning a new language proves to be beneficial for
the society culturally and economically, and therefore attempts to make
learning better must be made.

Nowadays, most parents are sending their kids abroad to acquire


good education. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of this
trend. Give your opinion.
Write at least 250 words.

With the coming of globalization, the world has become a global village. With
more and more people learning about the opportunities around the world,
there is a growing drift of sending kids abroad. Most people believe that
sending their children abroad, will allow their kids access to better education
and will help them in future. Although this trend has brought in great
advantages for children, it does not guarantees a bright future as some
negative impacts have also been seen. This essay presents the benefits and
the drawbacks of sending children to abroad.
There has been a huge positive impact of abroad study on students. Firstly,
an abroad education not only teaches students their subjects in an exciting
way, it also teaches the art of adjustment. Students studying in different

country learn practically that everyone is different and you need to respect
the differences. Secondly, an individual becomes more independent because
they very well know that if there is a problem then, it is only they who can
solve it. Thirdly, kids build contacts which will stay throughout their lives.
These contacts not only help in personal but also professional life. Even
more, an individual learns about new cultures and people who are different
from what he/she is used to.
On the negative side, abroad study could be a nightmare for those who take
it without any prior planning. For example-: if a student chooses a college or
a course randomly, chances are high that they may find it extremely difficult.
This not only increases pressure but sometimes leads them to the wrong
paths. Secondly, there are cases when racial issues have been filed. To
combat these a student must be aware of the laws of the country. Thirdly, a
course in abroad is often expensive.
Overall, I believe that the focus must always be good education. There have
been people who were successful without any abroad education, while there
have been some who did study abroad, and owe their success to the
education they got from there rather than running blindly towards abroad, a
plan must be charted out or else you may even fail.

YEAR GAP # ESSAY FOR IELTS

In some countries, individuals are allowed to do a job for an year,

decide to leave a year and do job.

Do what you love, love what you do. This quote by Steve Jobs, has in many
ways shaped the way young minds take decisions in 21st century. Keeping
this in mind, many individuals drop a year after completing their high schools
and indulge themselves into work force, before taking admissions in
university. This essay presents the benefits and drawbacks of taking break
from your studies.
Looking at the positive side of the coin, an year break brings with it many
benefits. Firstly, it gives a person time for introspection. There are many
people who realize their innermost passions very early in life, and some live
without knowing what they could have been. An year break serves as a
perfect boon to dig yourself deeper and find out the real you. Secondly, it
helps individuals to chart out their own definite and unique plan. Once they
are aware of their own strength and weaknesses, they can better decide on
what courses they must take. Thirdly, a year break can help in, to learn new
skills. For example-:a person can take up dancing or singing or any other
activity. These activities help in enhancing the individuals personality.
On the darker side of the coin, an year gap can be quite disastrous for those
who have no plan about the year. Firstly, there are high chances that they
get into the wrong path and indulge themselves into alcohol or drugs.
Secondly, the importance of university education can get lost in the fight of

survival. Often, people forget that the year is a time to find themselves and
not earn more.
Overall, I believe that giving an individual time to figure out about
themselves, is great initiative and must be taken by other governments as
well. however, it must be made certain that in that vulnerable year, youth
becomes what they are meant to be and not
a mirror of their circumstances.

Internet came in 21st century and swept the world with it. After the advent of
internet, a whole new market has been created. Whether it is facebook,
which allows us to be connected or Google which helps us whenever we need
any information or online shopping sites which have changed the way world
shops. Gone are the days when people used to beat the heat to buy things
for themselves, the time has come when they just order it online! Buying
things online has had its share of support and criticism.
On the positive side, the most important benefit that online shopping provide
is that they save time. Living in this globalised world people dont have time
and online shopping serves them good. secondly, shopping in INTERNET
makes choosing things lot more easier. With a click of a button, you can set
filters and then the items displayed will be the one you require. This is unlike
the traditional shopping where one has to look at all the things before
deciding what to buy. The third big advantage that has come along is that

buying things online is cheaper. The websites always offer some discount,
making it more profitable for the customers.
Looking towards the darker side, online shopping has surely made people
more lethargic. Most of the people avoid walking anymore and this has led to
lot of health issues. Secondly, sometimes online shopping causes delay in
delivery. This could be quite frustrating for those who want things
immediately.
Overall, online shopping has surely been a help to the people who really
dont have much time and has even been cheaper allowing them to buy
things at a better price. Although it surely does have some disadvantages
but they can be ignored as online shopping has just begun and there is a
long road to be traveled.

Write the advantages and disadvantages of CCTV cameras.


Write at least 250 words.

Technology is a double edged sword. While innovation and upgrades can


make our lives easier, they can be even used to cause trouble. Although
most of us reap the benefits of technology, some with the vested interest are
able to cause trouble to the rest of us. Security camera is one such modern
technology which has proved to be a boon for 90% of the population by
combating crimes. However, just like every other technology, it comes with
its own disadvantages.
The biggest advantage with CCTV cameras is that they provide a sense of
security to people. Even more the mischief makers try to be their best,
because they can see an eye watching them and they are aware that they
might be caught red-handed. In addition, CCTV cameras enable us to tab any

suspicious activity that helps in stopping the crime before happening. The
other great benefit of using CCTV cameras is that they create a room for
gathering evidences. For example-: You have a witness for a particular crime,
but it so happens that they them self missed out on some details. A CCTV
camera ensure you dont miss on anything.
On the negative side of the coin, CCTV cameras pose a great threat to the
privacy of an individual. Even more it creates a sense of suspect in the minds
of people. For example-: an employee may feel as if his/her employer does
not trust him/her enough to let him/her work independently off the camera.
Moreover, a camera is a costly thing to install. Apart from installing, they
require proper time to time maintenance. Another issue with CCTV cameras
is that they are quite vulnerable. For example-: a tech savvy thief with
knowledge about the camera might close it when required or in worse cases
the camera may be hacked.
To sum up, just like a knife can be used to cut a vegetable or do a murder,
CCTV cameras have both advantages and disadvantages. It is upon us as to
how we use it.

Children have more and more tests and exams to do at school,


sometimes starting from the age of 5 or 6 right to the age of 18.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of making children


take exams?
Write your answer in at least 250 words.

Examinations are the bug-bear of many students. They turn out to be ghost
like creatures for some of the students, which brings out the worst in them.
But there are even students who take exams very cool-headedly. Although
some may say that exams are the worst part of education system, it must
not be ignored that exams can prove to be really beneficial if taken in the
right spirit. Like, you cannot blame the gun for murder, you cant either
blame the exams for pressure.
Exams certainly pose some good advantages to a student life. Firstly, if taken
in right spirit, exams do help in finding the true skills of an individual. For
example-: if a student works hard for the entire year, and gets 90 in math
and 60 in English, he/she can easily know that their true skills lie in math and
they can take it as their career. Exams even allows children to give their
best, they in a certain way surely allow the students to push the envelope.
Secondly, exams if taken with healthy competition allow an individual to
grow. The fire to be the best can be easily ignited by the exams. Thirdly,
exams help in making friends. For example-: students who study together
often tend to become better friends than those who play together.
Although when social status is attached to exams, they prove to be quite
disadvantageous. Firstly, exams bring in pressure, if taken in wrong way. For
example-: if a parent beats a child for coming second in class instead of
appreciating him/her, it can create feelings of loneliness and worthless
pressure in them. Secondly, exams can even cause feelings of inferiority
complex amongst students, if they are judged based on their marks in
exams. For example-: if a student getting 50% marks is stereotyped as
dumb, it could be quite damaging for that kid.

Overall, it can be said, that the advantages and disadvantages of exams


depends on how an individual perceives it. If we want our kids to be fearless
of exams, we need to change the way we look at exams.

include high pressure, big responsibilities, getting completely passionate
over one thing which may not be every ones cup of tea. Saying this, it does
not mean you cant fulfill your dreams, the point is many a times, people
have personal responsibilities that need to be taken care of. Even more,
getting a good team is a hard task. So, although you are talented enough, if
you dont have a strong team, there is no point of opening a business. Risk
is the right word to state this inclination. Those who know how to play it, win
the game, the others come crashing down.
Turning to the other side of the argument, it gives the individuals the power
to make decisions, and with it a room for creativity. Instead of following the
employers decision you are now free to follow your heart, achieve things
that you have decided for yourself. The most important thing is it makes the
individuals responsible for their own actions. So, for example, if the company
goes into a loss, the owners will be blamed for and if it earns profits, it surely
has to do something with their vision. Even more, if the company is able to
manage a constant rate of profits for some time, they may end up earning

more per month, than they might have earned in their entire life.
To sum up, there is no doubt that risks are associated with it, but I believe
the benefits outweigh the drawbacks. Either ways, everyone has their own
idea of a good life and it might be possible that what one person thinks as a
great life is meaningless to others.

CAPITAL PUNISHMENT , YOU AGREE OR DISAGREE # IELTS ESSAY


August 9, 2015 admin Leave a comment

Topic

Without capital punishment (the death penalty) our lives are less secure and
crimes of violence increase. Capital punishment is essential to control
violence in society.
To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?

Answer

Crime and violence have existed and sustained in our world since centuries.
In earlier times, all crimes were designated as one and there was no
differentiation between heinous and petty crimes. Death penalty was
awarded to all who committed crimes, irrespective of their seriousness but
now it is awarded for those crimes which are heinous.
Capital punishment for certain crimes is essential as it deters the culprit to
commit the offence again. It instils fear in the person to commit atrocious
and brutal offences. If there was no death penalty for such crimes, criminals
would walk around free without any fear and repeat such criminal acts of
violence. It is only when a criminal or offender fears for ones own life, does it
dissuade him to commit offences. We have had a number of cases in India
whereby the death penalty has been awarded. For instance, Kasab, the
terrorist who was involved in the terrorist attack in which many people were
killed in cold blood at the Hotel Taj in Mumbai, was awarded the sentence
and was hanged till death last year. Apart from this, the victims and their
families also feel a sense of justice and security which in turn makes them
live peacefully.
Yet capital punishment does not always lead to less crime in society. If the
crime statistics are given attention, it will be seen that crime has increased
manifold over the years, despite the death penalty being awarded in many
cases. This can be supported by the recent rape case which occurred in
Delhi, whereby two criminals were given the death penalty but the incidence
of rapes have not decreased. In fact, the numbers are growing gradually and
each year it surpasses the previous year.

It can be concluded that capital punishment does not necessarily control


crime in a society and only has a deterrent effect but it is required in those
cases where heinous and despicable crimes have been committed.

WIDENING OF ROADS # ESSAY FOR IELTS
August 2, 2015 Chief Editor Leave a comment

You should spend about 40 minutes on this task.


Write on the following topic:
Nowadays, traffic jams are becoming a big problem in most cities
and bigger towns. Some people believe that widening of roads is a
solution to this problem.
Do you agree or disagree?
Give your opinion and suggest a solution to this problem.
You should write at least 250 words.

The advent of automobiles marked the 20th century. With the rise of middle class in
21st century, the use of automobiles has dramatically increased. Although this
increase has given people the freedom of travel, it has posed a serious concern in
big towns and cities, the issue of traffic jams. To solve the problem, some people
advised that the roads must be widened, but I believe that until and unless there is
awareness amongst individuals, the problem may not be solved.

Widening of roads may be one solution, but it might not be the most
practical. We are living in such times, when we are facing environmental
issues. The road widening project may involve cutting down more trees,

which will not only affect the environment but also the animals living in the
forests. This will disturb our food chain further and also pose grave issues to
our existence. Even more, there is no guarantee that once we have broader
roads, there wont be any traffic jams. The population of the world has
increased in the past 5 decades sharply and continues to grow. It will only
lead to growing number of automobiles.
However, if individuals are made aware of the consequences, chances are we
might solve the problem without any further construction. People must be
motivated to use public transport or share their transport as much as
possible. Even more, the use of cycle must be promoted. For example-: China
has made it compulsory for individuals to go to work on cycle. In this way,
they have killed two birds with an arrow. The pollution levels have decreased
and people have become healthier.
Overall, I believe that the best way to reduce traffic is to use less
automobiles. Awareness about it must be made in schools, colleges and
workplaces. Extra awards or incentives could be provided to individuals who
in some way are contributing towards the solution. Also, the companies or
schools or colleges who work towards making it possible to reduce traffic
jams, must be awarded.

BANNING DANGEROUS SPORTS # ESSAY FOR IELTS
August 2, 2015 Chief Editor Leave a comment

You should spend about 40 minutes on this task.


Write on the following topic:
Some people believe that dangerous sports should be banned.

To what extent do you agree or disagree?


You should write at least 250 words.

Life is liven on the edge, those who never take risk die more often than they live.
There are many who love adventures and enjoy taking risk more frequently.
However, it has been seen that often people die or injure themselves for life while
doing an adventure sport or a stunt. It is because of these incidences that some
people believe that sports involving risk of life must be abolished. However, I
believe that death is fatal, banning a sport wont save anyones life. Although,
proper care must be taken to avoid such incidences.

Dangerous sports such as river rafting, bungee jumping, sky diving etc come
with their own risk and fun. It depends on individual whether the risk and the
fun involved if adventure for them or not. Therefore banning such sports
might not be the best thing to do. Firstly, it is not compulsory for everyone to
play such sports. The decision is always of an individual, banning such
games would deprive a person of his/her decision. Secondly, there is always
a proper training, only after which do people go out to play such games. For
instance, a person requires a sky diving license before he/she can do it which
involves rigorous training. Thirdly, a little amount of risk is involved in every
game, be it cricket or football or any other. For example-: Philips Hughes of
died recently while playing a ball during a cricket match. This surely does not
means that one must ban cricket.
However, proper training and equipment must be carried while playing such
vulnerable games. For example-: if a person without knowing how to ride a
bike, tries doing a stunt, chances are high that he/she may get
himself/herself into trouble. Even more, it is preferred to have some kind of
health insurance if you are involved with such sports.
Overall, I believe, the biggest risk in life is to not take any risk at all. Banning
vulnerable games would in some way take away the freedom of an

individual. Although, it must be made sure that everything is technically


sound before you perform the sport.

GLOBALIZATION # ESSAY FOR IELTS
August 1, 2015 Chief Editor Leave a comment

As mass communication and transport continue to grow, societies


are becoming more and more alike leading to a phenomenon known
as globalization. Some people fear that globalization will inevitably
lead to the loss of cultural identity. To what extent do you agree or
disagree?
Write at least 250 words.

With coming of globalization the world is surely becoming a global village.


With the growth of mass communication and the increased interest of
individuals in travelling, people are experiencing different cultures first hand.
With this, the borders are getting blurred and individuals are becoming more
alike. Although many cherish this phenomenon, there are even fears that
people will forget their own identities. However, I believe that it is upon
individual to cherish their own identities and no external factor can take it
away without your own consent.
With more and more people going abroad for education or jobs, there is no
denying that the societies are merging into one. But it must not be forgotten
that travel has always led to formation of new societies and this is not a new
concept. Even in ancient times, people traveled and settled, taking their own
culture with them and forming new cultures. Even more such movement,

makes it possible for an individual to become a global citizen, wherein they


consider the issues of the world and try to solve them.
However, people rarely do forget their cultural identities. For example-: even
though many Indians have settled in Britain after Freedom, they are still
recognized as British but whose ancestors are from India. In some cases
people they even celebrate their own festivals.
Although people fear globalization, I believe it is positive. With more and
more people travelling or settling in different countries, chances are that we
all will become united, living as a one whole planet, rather than separated by
borders. Even more this cross-cultural interaction can even create new
cultures or identities as has happened in the past.
Overall, one never forgets his/her own identity but with globalization people
become more tolerant of other people cultures and learn to respect the
differences.

ATTENTION GIVEN TO CELEBRITIES # ESSAY FOR IELTS
August 1, 2015 Chief Editor Leave a comment

The media pays too much attention to the lives and relationships of
celebrities such as actors, singers or footballers. They should spend
more time reporting the lives of ordinary people instead. To what
extend to you agree or disagree?

Celebrities have been a important part of so many people for time


immemorial. There are many of them who admire celebrities, want to know
how they live, rather want to become like them. With the times after media
gaining power, the lives of celebrities have often been scrutinized in the
name of building a bridge between their fans and them. There have even

some celebrities who themselves came forward to share their lives. Although
few people enjoy knowing about their stars lives, there are many who prefer
knowing about lives of common man.
Media surely helps in bridging the gap between a star and a common man.
The stories of their stars can prove to be inspiring for the common person.
For example-: Recently Deepika Padukone came out and told the world about
how she fought back depression. This became a source of inspiration for
many who found themselves in similar position. Showing lives of their stars
also proves to be motivating for many people. There have been cases when
people truly worked hard to become like their favorite celebrities. Even more
it breaks the illusion that celebrities were just lucky enough to be successful.
The real problem begins when media tries to over show the lives of
celebrities. For example-: talking about their relationships or the places they
go doesnt makes any sense. Even more it irritates the celebrities at personal
level. Also, it so happens that sometimes media forgets about the common
man! For example-: if a common person achieves something and the media
still talks about the lives of celebrities instead of showing the common mans
struggle, it come as quite disheartening to them.
Overall, I believe it is good to show the lives of celebrities but only to an
extent where it could be motivating for the common man. Also the common
man must be given the undue importance in times of great achievements or
great misery.

REPORT BAD NEWS # ESSAY FOR IELTS
July 31, 2015 Chief Editor Leave a comment

The media should limit on how much bad news they report because
it discourages people from doing activities which usually involve
very little risk. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Write at least 250 words.

We become what we think, and mostly we think what we see. Media surely
has a very important role in our lives. The general decisions about our lives
are almost dependent on the news given by media. More importantly, with
the globalization we all get to know about things happening around the
world. There are so many achievements, inventions and also crimes taking
place at every moment around the world. The more the media gives
attention to a particular topic, more are its chances of getting attention by
the common person.
Media surely can change the outlook of individuals from negative to positive
or vice versa. For example-: if media constantly flashes the news of rape or
murders, it is obvious that people will stop their girls or women to step out of
the house or take extra care about things around. Constant bad news often
causes a level of mistrust among people. Even more there are people who
going through a rocky phase in their lives, listening to bad news constantly
can cause more negativity in them.
However, it cannot be denied that people have the right to know about the
things happening around. For example-: if there is a terrorist attack, it is the
right of an individual to know about it. Denying people news like this would
let them live in an illusion. Even more media could also be quite helpful in
the rough times. for example-: when Nepal was hit by earthquake, media
coverage made it possible for people to know the condition the people in
Nepal are left to live in. This initiated many donations and other helps.
Overall, everything works on balance. Although showing only good would
make people live in illusion, reporting only bad may make them negative. It
must be prioritized by media to show both the aspects of livelihood.

ESSAY # LATEST TECHNOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENTS
July 26, 2015 Chief Editor Leave a comment

The younger generation is mainly responsible for the latest


technological developments. How far do you agree?

The world has become a global village and the barriers have blurred out. A
considerable shift in the approach of doing things, can be observed easily.
Gone are the days when people were satisfied with a 9 to 5 job; this is the
era of entrepreneurship, the era where people are on their edges to show
their creativity. New things are being developed every day and the hunger
for achieving greater heights has paved its way into human minds. At this
point, considering only younger generation while talking about the great
advancement would be unfair to the older ones.
You can never create a house if you dont have the ground. Although most of
the latest advancements are credited to younger generation, but the basis of
these developments are provided by the earlier generation. For example-:
facebook, Google, dell or apple might not have been possible if Charles
Babbage had not developed the computers. Even more the mother of all
languages C was developed by Dennis Ritchie who was in his late 40s
when he developed it. There might not have been any facebook or twitter or
android, had Dennis Ritchie not created C.
Having said that, the younger generation is surely developing new, exciting
technologies. It could rather be said that they are effectively utilizing the
base that already has been given to them. A ground is useless if you are not

ESSAY # FIRST IMPRESSION IS THE LAST IMPRESSION
July 24, 2015 Chief Editor Leave a comment

First impression is the last impression. Some people believe that if you give a good
interview, chances are high that you may get selected for the job. To what extent do you
agree or disagree?
SAMPLE ANSWER
This is the computer era. Everything from the clock to the books; cars to the airplanes;
relationships to businesses have become digital. We are not concern about the results
anymore, all we are bothered is whether the result was on time or not. And this time, the
time has changed from being analog to digital. Seconds, even milliseconds do matter.
Running in this maddening race, first impressions certainly matter. No one has the time
neither the chances to waste. Even more it has so happened that the people applying
for a particular job are quite high than the number of vacancies. This has increased the
competition by many folds resulting into a decision based on the first impression. For
example-: A person taking the interview has got merely 20 or 30 minutes to decide
whether to take you or leave you. So, it is quite obvious that the interviewers decision
depends entirely on what you project in those minutes.
However, when a sphere of society changes it does not means that the shift is in the
entire society. First impressions do matter, but they are usually looked upon in short
term goals. For example-: Oprah Winfrey was rejected from a news channel stating she
is unfit for television. She went on to become the most famous television personalities of
all times.Her first impression was surely not the last. Even more there have been cases
when people were rejected from a particular company or school, but later have been
appreciated by the same company or school.

To sum up, first impressions do matter but it must be noted that the quicker the
impression formed, the shorter it is lived. So, even if your first impression turns out to be
a disaster, it can always be changed if you are determined to do so.

MODEL OF SCHOOL # ESSAY FOR IELTS


August 5, 2015 Chief Editor Leave a comment

Some people think that it is better to educate boys and girls in


separate schools. However , others believe that boys and girls
benefit more by attending mixed schools.
Discuss both sides and give your opinion.
Write at least 250 words.

In most countries, single sex and mixed schools exist and it is up to the parents or
the children to decide which model is better for them. There are opinions that it is
effective to teach boys and girls in separate schools while some others believe that
teaching the pupils together is a better way. However, I believe that both the
models have their own benefits and drawbacks and it is up to the individual whether
they are able to change the drawbacks into benefits.
Single sex schools offer great benefits. Firstly, there are no gender biases in the
schools. For instance, a boy need not to feel awkward while choosing a cookery
class and a girl might not feel weird to be part of the boxing club. This helps the
individuals to grow and learn things that they love irrespective of other peoples
opinion. Secondly, during the growing years a child experiences hormonal changes.
Studying in a single sex school allows them to concentrate more on their studies.
On the other hand, many educationalist believe that mixed schools prepare children
for their future lives. They help in growing a child emotionally and saves them from
the awkwardness they might face in later years when have to work with the other
gender. Even more, children learn a lot from each other in mixed schools and
develop skills that could be beneficial for them in later years.
Personally, I have been to a mixed school and it has helped me in interacting in a
better way with the opposite sex. However when I hear the stories of my friends
who had been to single sex school, I even realize they had fun in a completely
different way.
Overall, in my opinion, both the schools offer great learning and in the end it
completely depends on the individual on how well they are able to grasp from the
environment.

Children As Member Of Society # Essay For IELTS Dehradun

A child education is not about learning few basic skills, it is about


understanding the things around and learning the art of living harmoniously
in a society. There are believers who assume that it is the responsibility of
parents to teach children the etiquettes to live in a society. However, there
are even individuals who think that teaching a child is the work that must be

done in the school. I, although stand by the fact that responsibility of making
the next generation better members of society has to be shared by both
parents and teachers.
Parents are the first teachers of a child and it is in the growing years of a
child that he/she forms his/her personality. It is not only what you say to the
kid during those years, but also what he or she observes, defines the person
he/she will be. It is therefore the responsibility of the parents to make sure
that the child lives in a healthy environment and sees the good things about
the world. Even more we live in a society where what seems right to one
might not be to others. For instance, coming late at home is acceptable for
some while may not be for others. Hence, it is the task of the parents to
teach their kids how to be respectable to others and yet maintain their
individuality.
However, there come a stage when the child moves out of the comfort zone
and enters the school. This is the time when he/she becomes part of a wider
community and his/her peers and teachers have the same influence. It then
comes upon the teacher to make sure that the child is getting the right value
education. It is there that a child must be taught how to co-operate with
each other and contribute to the society.
Overall, in my opinion, learning goes on for the entire life and the task of
teaching cannot be shed to a single person. It is the shared responsibility of
every member of the society.

TALENT OR HARD WORK # ESSAY FOR IELTS
August 3, 2015 Chief Editor Leave a comment

It is often believed that some people are born with talents, for
example in sport or music. However, it is sometimes claimed that

anyone could be taught to become a good sportsman or musician.


Discuss both views and give your opinions.

Hard work wins if talent does not works hard. The importance of talent and
hard work has been put into debate several times before. Although some
people believe that anyone can be taught anything with continued practice,
there are even opposing views, which believe that it is very important to
have some innate capabilities before you can nurture on them. I believe that
although anyone can acquire a skill, but if the natural talent of an individual
is worked on, they reach a higher level of success.
A child is like a clay, the way you mould it ,the shape it takes. If the child
from the beginning is taught a particular sport, for example, basketball,
chances are high that the time, he/she reaches youth, he/she will be
excellent in the game. The best example of such a practice is our education
system, wherein all students are taught sports, music, academics etc.
However, as is often seen, in a class of ten who are taught a particular sport
or music, there is someone who does it extremely well, although he or she
practices the same. They need not to learn the basic rules to apply them,
somehow they know it before hand. For example, in my bharatnatyam class,
there were many who did the steps technically correct, but there were even
some, who need not to learn all the techniques to do them correctly. If such
an individual learns all the techniques, he/she will do it far better. Even more,
you can teach how to sing, but you rarely can change the voice.
Overall, I am of the view that anyone can be taught anything but to reach
the highest level of excellence in fields like sport or music, it is important to
have some innate talent. However, if an individual does not works on their
talents, the person working hard on it will surely succeed.

JOB SATISFACTION # ESSAY FOR IELTS

Some people argue that it is important to have an enjoyable job
than to earn a lot of money. Others disagree and think that a good
salary leads to a better life.
Discuss both these views and give your opinion.
Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your

Most people do a particular job to earn money and lead a luxurious life while there
are even some who follow the untraded path and define success on their own terms.
I believe that since work takes a lot of time of our lives, we must make sure that we
love it. However, not everyone is fortunate enough to follow their own heart. In this
essay, I will discuss both views and present my
opinion.

Doing what makes sense to us, although requires lot of courage, brings great
benefits along with it. Firstly, achieving success is never tough. When you do
what you love, you do it more often. Most importantly, you pour your heart
out on it and this leads to success. Secondly, loving your job allows you to
lead a more meaningful life. For example-: Steve jobs loved computers and it
was only because he loved it, he was able to revolutionize the field of
computers. Thirdly, you may not earn money, but you surely earn yourself. A
person who enjoys his/her work, tends to live a more happy life and is often
seen to respect oneself more.
However, earning less money and doing an enjoyable job may not make
sense to many. Most people have tough financial conditions, which makes it
difficult for them to choose satisfactory job above money. For instance-: a
person who is the sole bread earner of a family will surely choose a high
earning job to ensure a good life to their family. Secondly, most people dont
understand the importance of job satisfaction. They believe that happiness
can always be bought from the market and for that you need money. This is
often seen in people who come from a poor background because they have
seen a life of starvation.
I believe that no matter how bad the situation is you must always strive to
follow your heart. Doing something only for money, not only lowers down
your self-esteem but also deprives you of the real fun in life that comes from
doing the work you love.

IMPORTANCE OF FASHION # ESSAY FOR IELTS

Some argue that fashion items cost too much money. Others say
that is acceptable because fashion is an important part of life.
Discuss both views and give your opinion.
Write at least 250 words.

Fashion is an art of living. Although some people are of the opinion that living
fashionably is very costly, others support it by arguing that the high cost is
acceptable owing to the fact, that, fashion is an essential part of our lives.
Although fashion brings with it high cost, I believe looking at the broader
sense of it makes one realize the importance of fashion.
Some people believe that fashion has a high price to pay. For example-: the
bags of Prada, a fashion house, although are excellent but too expensive. In
scenarios like these, trying to live up to date could turn out to be nightmare
for some. Secondly, most of the fashionable clothes or shoes are very
expensive. Buying such clothes can lead to a hole in the pocket.Some
people, often consider fashion with brands and as a result spend lot of
money on them. This has even caused debt in many cases. For example-: In
many countries buying an apple phone is termed with living in tech space
and often gets associated with an individuals identity. People often to show
off buy such phones in loan.
However, others argue that living in fashion makes life more beautiful.
Firstly, fashion allows us to look presentable. Often, while working or during
interviews, looking presentable is very important.
Even more while meeting new people, if you look presentable chances are
they will hear you with an extra ear. Secondly, fashion is an art. For
example-: if a person decorates his/her house with candles, the house surely
looks good and this is part of fashion. Even more, some countries like Paris

has beautifully decorated roads and walls. It makes walking on them more
peaceful and exciting. All of this, often ignored but is part of fashion.
To sum up, fashion is not buying branded clothes and shoes, it is an art which
surely could even be practiced with less of money. Although fashion could be
quite expensive but we need to get out of the illusion of taking expensive
things as fashion and understand the real meaning of fashion.

The world has encountered great revolutions, inventions and wars in the past few

Gone are the days when women had to do purdah or they were denied voting
powers. This is the era when women empowerment is being demanded by men.
We are living in times when there is more of equality and moreover the competitive
levels have significantly increased. We all want to live a luxurious life and this has
led to a trend of both parents working.
There are people of the opinion that it is important for both the parents to work in
such competitive times, if they want to survive. Working parents do bring in great
advantages along with. Firstly, they are able to provide better facilities and standard

of living to their children. Secondly, if both parents work, it ensures that they both
are making good use of the education that they have taken. Even more, working
makes a person more independent.
On the other hand, few believe that if both parents work, it deprives the child of the
care and the nurture he/she deserves. This happens when the child is in his/her
growing years. Parents are the best teachers and their absence surely creates a
void which no tuition teacher can fill. Even more, if children dont see their parents
often in their growing years, they tend to lose contact with them, causing troubles
in later years.
Overall, a balanced life can always be the way out. Leaving job might make several
talented individuals dependent on their better halves and keeping it might be unfair
to their children. I believe that both the parents should do a job if they can give
their undue attention to the child and his/her life before they go out to work.

TEENAGE CONFLICT # ESSAY FOR IELTS
July 28, 2015 Chief Editor Leave a comment

Some people view teenage conflict with their parents as a necessary


part of growing up, whilst others see it as something negative which
should be avoided. Discuss both views and give your opinion.
Write at least 250 words.

The most vulnerable years of a persons life are the teenage years, the years when
a child gets rational, observes things around us with his/her own perspective and
forms an image that lives with them for a long period of time. Apart from the
external changes, a teenage even undergoes hormonal changes and they discover a
new aspect of their body. All of these changes, internal and external, account for
questions and confusions amongst them, often leading to conflicts.

Although some people are of the opinion that the conflicts must be avoided, I
believe such frays are natural and must be handled with more wisdom than simple
avoidance.

Everyone sees the world with their own unique lenses. As a result parents
and children often have different points of view. For example-: A child on
observing things around forms an opinion that God does not exist. Trying to
suppress such thoughts and naming him/her as atheist, will only worsen the
situation, as is often seen teenagers tend to feel lonely. Allowing such
opinions to exist in their children, parents make them more independent and
teach them that they need to stand by their own decisions and opinions and
it is perfectly fine to be different. Suppressing them would make them more
submissive in the later years of their lives.
Although, recently it has been observed that crimes committed by teenagers
have increased in the past decade. The figures surely make parents
concerned about their children. At this point suppressing conflicts is a better
way to approach, but it must be made sure that you take your children into
confidence first. Usually children are so scared of their parents that they
dont tell them the problems they are facing, often leading them to a
whirlpool end.
To sum up, it can be said that, a teenage is like the growing bud, we need to
make sure they get the right environment to grow in, so that they can think
independently and yet learn the difference between right and wrong.

generation, the higher economic success it will gain in later years. Keeping this in
mind, a country usually has both private as well as government institutions. When
establishing the institutions it is hoped that they would stand by their words, and
will provide excellent education. Although with time, it has been observed that
government run institutions lose their focus and indulge in activities that have no
concern with education. I, although, still believe that private institutions should be
banned.

Banning private institutions will surely come with great advantages. Firstly,
the quality of education in government schools and colleges will find hope of
improvement. It has been observed that until and unless people have no
other choice they dont raise their voice for reform. Secondly, the rise of
private institutions has led to a satisfaction with mediocrity. In no ways, it
means that private institutions instigate mediocrity, the point to be noted is
that with the rise of private institutions people have become more of show
off. For example-: Since the past decade the number of students doing
Bachelors In Technology has increased many folds. The reason being the
course is easily available in private institutions. As a result, people dont
introspect themselves more often and live a life under the pressure of
society.
On the other hand, absence of private institutions might be a reason of
upsurge amongst middle and high income people as the ban may be
misunderstood as a loss in their freedom of choice. Even more children with
special abilities are often cared more in private institutions and banning
them would be a major setback to them.
In nutshell, I would like to assert the importance of improving the quality of
government institutions. Private institutions do cater to every individuals

demands, but they often lead to either mediocrity or high level of


competition. So, according to me, private institutions should be banned.

ESSAY # DISCUSS BOTH SIDES EXPERIENCE / EDUCATION
July 25, 2015 Chief Editor Leave a comment

There are people of the opinion that to secure a good job it is important to
attend a university while others believe that it is better if you develop soft
skills and have an experience.
Discuss both sides.
Write the answer in at least 250 words.

SAMPLE ANSWER
Education is a relative term. On one hand, the most successful
entrepreneurs, politicians and other personalities are the ones who have
graduated from the worlds best universities; there is no dearth of people
who made it big, even though they didnt had any flashy certificates. The
world has divided itself on this issue. There are people of the opinion that a
degree of a well renowned university is essential for securing a good job,
others believe that it is the real life education that makes the difference.
Safety, is the first reason to support a university degree. If you have
completed your graduation from university, they provide you a 99%
assurance of good job. It could be either a campus placement or a offcampus one. Secondly, people often trust you more. A degree gives people
the reason to trust you. For example-: if a Harvard graduate asks for loan to
open his/her company, nor would it be easier to get the loan but also people
will be ready to support the project. Thirdly, you are saved from the everyday
battle. If you have a degree, you need not to fight with everyone for a
particular job. The competition reduces, making it all the more easier.
However, people who focus on their soft skills and experience, enjoy a
different way of living life. The way that is quite different from others. The

foremost advantage being that they experience life first hand. There is no
theory in their case, it is all practical. No rules that need to be followed, it is
all common sense and past experience that paves their way. For example-:
Jack ma, the founder of ali baba and the richest person in china was rejected
from Harvard ten times but it was his soft skills and the persistence to battle
that helped him open the e-commerce site.
Overall, it doesnt matters much whether you have a degree from a college
or experience of life. What matters is whether you have the vision to
monetize all what you have got and a deep desire to succeed in life.
