On the other hand, consumers should avert heavy package items. They
should look for recycled packing material for the household goods. Moreover,
consumer refuse, then the sale of the product would reduce the heavy
package material. In addition, it would reduce the cost of the product if they
buy thin packaging material products as the heavily package material cost
10% to 50% of the total cost of the product.
To sum up, by analyzing both the views it is clear that both manufacturers,
supermarkets and customers should prevent or forefend the heavy package
material. So it would reduce the package waste and protect our environment
in great danger.
Ans2b. Materialistic attitudes of modern societies is leading to excessive
consumerism in this jet age of 21st century. Presently, packaging material of
goods turns to rubbish that further cause environmental problems. Some
proportion of people assert that it is necessary for manufacturers to curtail
usage of packaged material. By contrast, others claim that masses need to
limit their shopping of heavily packed consumer durables. Here, I would like to
account for both sides with my perception.
There are multifarious points to shore up former view. First and foremost,
supermarkets and manufacturers use none-biodegradable material such as
plastic, pollythene, wrappers for packaging of goods. As a result, such
material is thrown to landfill sites in the form of trash where it leads to
production of perilous chemicals and gases. Consequently, ecological system
is becoming worse nowadays. Therefore, diminishing usage of such stuff is
supposed to be advisable for corporate world for safety of environment.
On the contrary, people, being more educated and health conscious, require
to decline habit of using pollythenes instead should use clothing bags or other
alternatives. Thus, environment will be more prosperous than ever before. In
addition, promoting three R's as a watchward could be fruitful to maintain
healthy lifestyle. For instance, three R's featuring reduce use, reuse and
recycling can be reliable to address this worrying concern.
From my notion, both ideas have their singnificance. As far as environment
problems are concerned, these are too big to managed by an individual group
or person. Hence, both products developers and folks must share joint
responsibility to 'nip this evil in the bud'.
To recapitulate, it is well acknowledged that '' prevention is better than cure".
Proactive steps ought to be taken to encounter this problem as soon as
possible.

Celebrities are usually famous for glamour and wealth rather
than their achievements.Some say taking them as an example
can be dangerous for young people.To what extent you agree
or disagree.
Celebrities like sports icons and film stars has become the role
models of our younger generation inspite of political leaders
and warriors who conquered the minds of our older
generation.In this context,whether this inspiration of youth is
for good or bad remains a million dollar question.However,this
essay will discuss about it and reach a prudent conclusion.
On the one hand,some people are of the opinion that
celebrities are leading a simple life with no hardwork,while
their beauty and wealth only made them to conquer this
world.Moreover,because of this reason only younger
generation aspire these people in life,as they have an intense
desire to imitate these celebrities. In addition,by doing this
young generation also depends badly on gyms and beauty
shops,thereby they wastes their valuable time in searching
ways to film industry or sports team.
On the other hand ,other majority are of the opinion that
celebrities got their fame and high level pay because of their
skill and their dedication to their career,which is quite evident
by their works which extents to overnight.Therefore,young
people should aspire such people in their skills and dedication
towards their goal.Furthermore,it is better to tell that the
proverb 'where there is a will there is a way' is well evident
from this attitude.For an instance international icons like
Sachin Tendulkar and Amitabh Bachchan possess the great
level of stardom because of their lifetime
achievement,experience and hardwork. Finally,younger
generation should look on these aspects of famous people in
imitating them.
To conclude,in my opinion,there is no danger in aspiring the
values and hardships of famous people rather than just looking
only on to their beauty and wealth.
Q. The claim that animals have rights has been the subject of much
debate since the 1970s.Are zoos helping or hurting our animals?Should
zoos be banned? Do you agree or disagree?
Ans1. t is an undeniable fact that every living creature has the right to live
with respect and dignity in this world and they should be given an opportunity
to experience their fundamental rights like food, clothes and shelter.
Therefore, zoos are the place where all the necessary amenities are met for
the animals. So, it is definitely not a good idea to ban zoos. I do not accord
with the given statement.
To begin with, zoos are the safest place for the poor creatures as they are
taken care well and their holistic needs are met at the time of necessity. For
example, animals can be treated well in case of medical needs and they will
enjoy not only freedom of life but also quality of life by experiencing all the
facilities. In this way , zoos have always provided enough protection to the
wonderful creatures.
Furthermore, emphasizing my point of view, I believe there are a lot of species
on the verge of extinction and they need to be preserved at any cost. So, zoos
are the prime place to protect such a beautiful natures creation. For instance,
the number of tigers is being decreased gigantically day by day in the world
and if they are not prevented from extinction, there will be hardly any tigers
left in near future.
In conclusion, I believe zoos play an ample role to provide proper basic needs
to the animals along with respect and dignity. Therefore, zoos need to be
established in every corner of the earth and people should be made aware of
animals right.
Ans2. Since last half century Veganism and animal rights is making
headlines. With the advancement of technology many shocking videos have
been coming out on animal cruelty and many are becoming aware of animal
rights. In this essay we will advocate for banning of zoos as there are
alternate ways to see the animals.Firstly its been taught is schools thats Man
is an evolution of and originated from monkeys, so why cage our ancestors?
The Zoos are mostly commercialized and rob animals from their right of living
in natural habitat. Many are have to spend their entire life in a cage just
because some more powerful species like humans can watch them and
experiment on them. Secondly there are alternate ways to see them in their
natural habitat. For example, African safaris take have safe vehicles which go
into jungles and forests and get to see these animals and sometimes feed
them as well. In this way humans get to travel as well as watch them without
hurting them. On the contrary some may argue that everyone cannot afford to
travel and pay for safaris. However in my opinion for our convenience those
animals have to pay the price of their freedom and a lifetime in artificial caged
environment.So conclude, we should live in harmony with nature and other
living entities. Just because we have more intelligence and have ability to
capture and control them does not make us superior.
Q. Team sports are generally promoted as a great way to keep fit and
build character. However, sporting events such as soccer matches are
often accompanied by violence between rival supporters and other
forms of antisocial behavior. If sporting events can lead to antisocial
behavior, can team sports really be good for us?
Ans. It is often debatable question for mass media what is the impact of
sporting events on societies. Some people are in the opinion that sports for
individuals can make healthier and build character whereas others think that
these sports event could lead to rival activities. Although some people could
make anti-social atmosphere, this is the time for the enjoyment and feel like
patriotism.
To begin with, sports occasions may not always lead to anti-social activities.
When any team got defeat in the match and as a consequence people can do
disgusting activities. This can lead because of some tempt nature groups of
people. For example, sometimes referee could give wrong discussion in the
football match so some asocial people may try to opposite of the games.
On the other hand, there are several reasons to support that team sports are
really good for us. During matches, people may enjoy the games with different
countries people and wear their own countries t-shirt and cheers for their team
spirit. Furthermore, we can foster patriotism environment through sporting
events. In this time, they can interact with various cultures people and see
different regions of the world. They can see matches without worries of stress,
tension of life and just enjoy and feel relax through games.
In conclusion, I am of the opinion that only some people can do rival activities
and most of others people comes for enjoyment and relaxation. I agree that
these types sporting games through people can interact and learn their
cultures and languages.

18. In the past 100 years, there have been many inventions such as
antibiotics, airplanes and computers. What do you think is the most important
of them? Why? Greatest invention in the last 100 years, medicine, sciene or
technology?
Science and Technology has advanced many fold in the last 100 years.
It has progressed human lives in all spheres. Among all the inventions,
the most revolutionary one is the advent of computers. In fact,
Computer have become indispensible for communication, education,
banking, travelling, health care, aviation industry, and any other industry
one can think of.
Today, a student cannot think of carrying on the studies without access
to computers. Internet - has made the world a much smaller place to
live in by providing information on any possible thing, just at a click of a
button. Students use it for their projects and enhance their knowledge in
the subject.
Communication with the help of World Wide Web has become a part
and parcel of daily life. Now, family and friends can have video chat
between any parts of the planet. This has opened a wide frontier for
people to travel, work and live even thousands of miles apart, by
maintaining a close contact with their dispersed dear ones. Perhaps,
computers have become an essential tool for further innovation, across
all industries. The effective antibiotics could not have been invented at
this pace had computers not assisted the scientists. Similarly, aviation
industry would not have flourished with its application. In spite of its
darker side, computers are expected to do wonder even further, in the
coming days to mankind.
In summary, there are many inventions in the last 100 years that have
changed the world and have made it a better place but among them the
computer technology is the best as it has changes the way we live our
lives, how we communicate each other and made our life easier and
more convenient.
19. Information revolution has changed the way of mass communications and
The first and foremost reason that the world is not big as
much before. There are a lot of books that is written
foreign language. Children would need much information
chilhood and adolescence. That is wyh when children start
school, the children have to begin learning a foreign
language. The children are very open learning new
information in chilhood. They could easily adapt this
situation.
Second important reason that f the children know a
foreign language, they could make a friends from other
country. They could become very social person in this way.
The children take a opportunity a foreign language. For
instance, they could go to abroad in order to study. They
could gain experience very important.
Some experts believe that it is better for children to begin learning
a foreign language at primary school rather than secondary

Q 32. (ptea official guide topic) Tobacco, mainly in the form of cigarettes
is one of the most widely used drugs in the world. Over a billion adults
legally smoke tobacco every day. The long term health costs are high for the smokers themselves, and for the wider community in terms of
health care costs and lost productivity.
Do Governments have a legitimate role to protect citizens from the
harmful effects of their own decisions to smoke, or are such decisions
up to an individual?
Ans: Most firms, organizations and companies as well as government impose
restrictions on smoking in public places and work places. Some people
believe smoking should not be banned because it helps people to relax from
their stressful lives. However, it is argued smoking should be banned as it is
harmful to smokers and non-smokers as well.
Smoking is injurious to health. One cigarette contains more than 6000
chemical substances. So, when a person smokes all the chemical substances
get into his body thus leads to harmful diseases like asthma and lungs cancer.
Moreover, Smoking costs government millions of dollars because of the cost
of treatment for smoking related problems. According to the recent report in
india, 20% of people are killed each year in road accidents and 10% of people
die of smoking.
Furthermore, it reduces the lifespan of people, especially, of chain-smokers.
Recent research shows even non-smokers can suffer from health problems if
they spend longs hours with people who smoke. qIn addition, smokers inhale
only 25% and exhale 75% of chemical substances which affects nonsmokers.
Nevertheless, Smoking also helps people to relax from their mental pressure
and strains. It also increases concentration.
To put it in a nutshell, the world would be better without cigarette. However,
the decision of whether to smoke or not is an individuals choice. People
should not smoke in the public places. However, they should use smoking
area for smoking.
1. Extreme sports, sky-diving, bungee-jumping, risky pursuits, the real
dangers of various high-risk pursuits, turning extreme sports into a multi-billion
dollar global industry, parachuting, numerous fatal accidents, daredevils,
scuba-diving, marathon running, Over the past decade, extreme sports have
become extremely popular. And so have extreme injuries. Between 2000 and
2011, more than four million injuries were attributed to extreme sports. and
some kids try to emulate his tricks
Extreme sports bring excitement and thrill. The daring participants say
extreme sports are all about the thrill and the sense of accomplishment they
get. They're climbing higher, jumping farther and moving faster, all in the
name of personal glory. Still, when things go wrong, they pay a heavy price.

2.Packaging ensures that people can buy and use products when they want
them, in good condition and with little wastage. However, many people think
some goods have too much packaging. Snacks intended to be eaten on the
move are an example of products where the consumer could easily assemble
the components him/herself without the need for packaging.
The packaged goods industry is highly competitive, and packaging
manufacturers, packaged goods producers and retailers are all under
pressure to come up with new and better packaging solutions. No business
wants to spend more on packaging than it has to and the fewer resources the
packaging needs, the lower its cost.
Also, companies see to have gone overboard on packaging they put food in
trays, inside a box, inside a plastic container with with cardboard wrap around
to explain what it is. For instance, MacDonalds is the first to over-package
their food and encourage people to eat while walking hence they throw it on
the street.
3.Hometown
Success in any area of life never happens in a complete vacuum. Often it is
just as much dependent on an individuals will-power and intelligence as it is
on their environment and outside circumstances.
To find happiness and success, you therefore need to pay attention and take
some control over the type of environments you are surrounding yourself in on
a daily basis; even the strongest and brightest of minds will find it difficult to
achieve their goals if they are in a completely wrong environment for them.
This is because every aspect of your external life has some influence over
your internal thoughts and behaviors, especially the people you surround
yourself with on a daily basis, and the type of places where you spend most of
your time.
The first main aspect of our environment that influences our success is the
people we surround ourselves with on a daily basis.For example, surrounding
yourself with friends who are more self-disciplined can also help you become
more self-disciplined. This is just one of many examples of how our social
network can have an influence over our own behavior and goal-seeking.It fits
well with other research that shows if you hang around people who are obese
and unhealthy, its more likely you will become obese and unhealthy. And if
you hang around with people who are lazy and dont study for class, its likely
youll end up with similar grades as them too.
The second main aspect of our environment that influences our success is the
places we spend most of our time at.For example, one important factor that
has shown to increase productivity and happiness is giving people some
freedom to design their own workplace.Taking ownership over where you
spend your time allows you to choose an environment that motivates and
inspires you. A good environment for success should keep your senses
stimulated and awake while you work on your goals, while not being too
distracting.
At the end of the day, you cant meet your full potential for success unless you
find an environment that brings out the very best in you.
4.Climate Change/Global Warming
But what really is the proper role for individuals and institutions in addressing
climate change? An immediate and natural response may be that everyone
should do their part
Decisions affecting carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, for example, are made
primarily by companies and consumers. This includes decisions by
companies about how to produce electricity, as well as thousands of other
goods and services; and decisions by consumers regarding what to buy, how
to transport themselves, and how to keep their homes warm, cool, and light.
In order to effectively address global warming, we must significantly reduce

unnecessary rate. This need for manufactured items also leads to the air and
water pollution emitted from factories, which in many countries are highly
unregulated.
Loss of Biodiversity-Each species has a role in our planet, and when one dies
out, it can have catastrophic effects on the rest of us. Currently, many other
animals are in danger of becoming extinct, either from being forced out of
their habitats by man or by climate change.
6. Written assessment
Writing is an essential skill that allows people to participate fully in today's
society and to contribute to the economy. It is a complex process that is
essential for extending learning, thinking and communicating with others
The assessment of writing is central to the process of effective teaching and
learning of writing This, in turn, can enable greater understanding of the
requirements needed to support their learning.
It allows students to effectively convey thoughts and ideas through text is
classroom-based writing assessment. Such formative assessments allow
teachers to gauge the effectiveness of their instructional practices, modify
instruction as needed, and provide students with feedback on writing
strengths and areas in need of further development.
7.Shopping mall
Mall culture has become big business, as shopping malls have evolved into
multi-storied structures housing a large number of stores that sell diverse
products and services. Shopping malls house a collection of retail stores and
restaurants
Parking is one of the major hassles for people who go into the city to shop.
Shopping at malls eliminates this problem, because parking is provided either
free of charge or for a nominal fee. This makes it advantageous for people to
choose to shop at a mall rather than a single store. Families who choose to
visit a mall on the weekend or holiday for a family outing find it to be a more
convenient option mainly because parking is provided
Visiting a mall is advantageous because of the numerous stores housed in
one complex. Groceries, clothes, shoes, reading material, food courts,
cinemas and entertainment arcades are available in one place. Malls make
great meeting places for friends to catch up over coffee at a caf or a meal at
the food court.
One of the major disadvantages - These include excessive crowding,
especially on weekends and holidays. Crowded aisles and stores make
shopping very difficult; people often end up forgetting items they needed to
buy. Parking can also be a problem when the mall is very crowded.
The temptation to browse is always present, and browsing often leads to
buying things that are not needed. Keeping to a monthly budget becomes
increasingly difficult every time you visit the mall. With all the sales and
special offers intended to tempt buyers, saying "no" becomes very
hard.-----------------------8. Work-Life Balance
If people don't have time to relax and recharge, their ability to do their job
decreases and their performance level suffers.
Work-life balance is about creating and maintaining supportive and healthy
work environments, which will enable employees to have balance between
work and personal responsibilities and thus strengthen employee loyalty and
productivity.
Todays workers have many competing responsibilities such as work, children,
housework, volunteering, spouse and elderly parent care and this places
stress on individuals, families and the communities in which they reside.
Work-life conflict is a serious problem that impacts workers, their employers
and communities.
Long work hours and highly stressful jobs not only hamper employees ability
to harmonize work and family life but also are associated with health risks,
such as increased smoking and alcohol consumption, weight gain and
depression. Work life conflict has been associated with numerous physical
and mental health implications.
Work-life conflict has negative implications on family life. Their work
responsibilities interfere with their ability to fulfill their responsibilities at home.
A growing number of employers have implemented wellness programs or pay
for their employees gym membership as part of a benefits package. Some
companies invite fitness trainers or yoga instructors into the office to hold
lunchtime sessions.
Companies that have implemented work-life balance programs recognize that
employee welfare affects the bottom line of the business. Finally, selfmanagement is important; people need to control their own behaviour and
expectations regarding work-life balance.
4. Nowadays, the mass media including TV, radio and newspaper have
become the essential part of our lives. What is your opinion?
5. The mass media including TV, Radio and newspaper influence our
society and shape our opinions and characters. What is your opinion?
Newspapers, radio, television, and the Internetincluding e-mail and blogs
are significantly influential on our society, especially in affirming attitudes and
opinions that are already established. The news media focus the publics
attention on certain personalities and issues, leading many people to form
opinions about them.
Mass media sets the news agenda, which shapes the public's views on what
is newsworthy and important.
It is a system used by advertisement agencies and media outlets, such as
television channels and radio stations to "convince" their audiences to do or
act in a certain way. It appeals to the vulnerability of the desired target .
For instance, a famous person or persons Who are recognized and admired
by whole communities. These individuals have the "Power" to convince their
followers or fans into taking any kind of action or decision. Therefore, these
famous people usually are linked or work for some media outlet and are used,
to influence the community accordingly./////////////
The media has changed significantly in the past years. Because of the
availability of television and radio all populations and classes have been
exposed to various types of media. The Internet has provided an even newer
media resource. The majority of people live in a very fast paced society. They
have very little time for reading and exploring the truth of information. The
producers of media publication are aware of this and use the media to
influence public choice and opinion. The problem lies in that many people are
gullible and society as a whole is easily influenced by the media
representations. The media also responds to public demand and provides the
information that the public craves.
A positive aspect of the medias bias has been that it has facilitated change in
peoples perception of races in a positive manner, exposed people to other
cultures, made people aware of environmental needs, and the needs of
people far away. While there can also be negative implications the media
also has to reflect the publics point of view. With the growing representation
of Hispanics, African Americans, and other minority groups, the media is
under pressure to present them in a more positive light.

shelves. You dont even have to rewrite a whole paper because you did a
mistake or you have to add more information to the written form. You can
have as many files as you can in your computer and organize them the way
you like it without having to use any extra material or space.
Finally, computers are used in almost all fields for any purpose such as
entertainment, education, and any type of job. For example, you can use
computers to play videogames, watch movies, listen to music or chat on the
internet for entertainment. In education or any job you can use them for
videoconferences, PowerPoint presentations or just using their basic features
discussed in the first point.
Therefore computers are the greatest invention of all time because they
reduce your time consumption on your activities, you can save your
information and edit it anytime, and they let you do almost everything you
need. Computers have become the most powerful tool ever created.

communications and had some negative and positive effects on
individual lives as well as on society. To what extent do you agree or
disagree?
23. Communication has changed significantly in the last 10 yers.
Disucss pros and cons impacts.
IT has not only brought the world closer together. Therefore, we can not only
share information quickly and efficiently, but we can also bring down barriers
of linguistic and geographic boundaries. The world has developed into a
global village due to the help of information technology allowing to shares
ideas and information with each other.
Communication has also become cheaper, quicker, and more efficient. We
can now communicate with anyone around the globe by simply text
messaging them or sending them an email for an almost instantaneous
response. The internet has also opened up face to face direct communication
from different parts of the world thanks to the helps of video conferencing.
Bridging the cultural gap - Information technology has helped to bridge the
cultural gap by helping people from different cultures to communicate with one
another, and allow for the exchange of views and ideas, thus increasing
awareness and reducing prejudice.
However, While information technology may have streamlined the business
process it has also crated job redundancies, downsizing and outsourcing. This
means that a lot of lower and middle level jobs have been done away with
causing more people to become unemployed.
Privacy - Though information technology may have made communication
quicker, easier and more convenient, it has also bought along privacy issues.
Due to website and email hacking, people are now worried about their once
private information becoming public knowledge.
Lack of job security - Industry experts believe that the internet has made job
security a big issue as since technology keeps on changing with each day.
This means that one has to be in a constant learning mode, if he or she
wishes for their job to be secure.
Dominant culture - While information technology may have made the world a
global village, it has also contributed to one culture dominating another
weaker one. For example it is now argued that US influences how most young
teenagers all over the world now act, dress and behave. Languages too have
become overshadowed, with English becoming the primary mode of
communication for business and everything else.
23. The only thing that interfere with my leaning is my educationEinstein. What does he mean by that? And do you think he is correct?
Formal education tends to limit the thinking you can do about a subject. For
instance, you know and accept that the Law of Gravity is valid. You've been
taught that in school. Therefore, you are not going to waste your time trying to
get around it.
Most engineers today are taught that something must be done THIS way. By
the time they get their degrees, they can't see simple solutions to complex
problems. That's when you need someone with no degree and not a lot of
knowledge about engineering that you can bounce the problem off of. In
explaining it to them and dealing with their offhand suggestions, you often get
the simple solution you couldn't see.
Einstein recognized that education also limits the mind and felt he learned
more by doing research without the confines of the degree.
Einstein was a genius, which back in the old days many never really
understood what a genius really was! So for him to say, the only thing that
interferes with my learning is my education! He was actually saying, he was a
lot smarter then any education that could be taught to him back in them days!
So he had to more or less, self educate on his own to be able to be smarter
then he already was! Many people saw him as off the wall, sort of speak!
Because of the fact he was a lot more smarter then anyone really knew! So
instead of him being looked up to because of being so smart, he was more
like an out cast to most! Mostly because of his odd behavior, and weirdness
and very much misunderstood! He plainly just didn't fit in!
I guess you could say, very few people tried to get to know him at his level
and partly no one could possibly even think at his level! So he to many was
just a strange person! But the fact was he was a genius and he was
misunderstood back in them days! Geniuses today are honored and almost
worshiped and there is today, way higher education levels in place now for
people that are geniuses!
Could you imagine if education would have been so high level to teach
Einstein to the levels he was urning for! He would have really accomplished
way more then what he did!
And may have changed the world for a lot better then what it is today! Maybe
that's why education is such a high priority in todays world, so that everyone
has a chance to be the next great Einstein, or even greater! If education
hadn't changed from the old days, man would have never made it to the
moon!
Education has to always change for the better, may be at times not fast
enough, but if it didn't life will never get better! If education was still the same
as back in Einstein days, Medical wouldn't be where it is today and millions
would have all died every year! Medical is the biggest resource for longer life
and more quality of life! Without it, people would be dieing at younger ages
and from many diseases that wouldn't be cureable without all the medical
education we all have today!
Einstein would have actually fit in better in todays world then he did back in
the old days, you could say he was born in the wrong Century, so it would be
like taking a well educated person today and put them back into Einstein days
of life! The person would feel completely out of place and most likely wouldn't
be able to even cope in that kind of life!
So what Einstein was saying is, he was being taught 6 th grade education
when he was actually like the highest college degree grad in are time of life!
And he wanted higher education then the highest college education! But back
in his days 6 th grade education is all they had as highest education to offer!
The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and
write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn.
Ans. 2. Older workers are generally just as capable as the young. Since age
is not necessarily an indication of lower ability, treating a person less
favourably on the basis of their age alone is just as unreasonable and unfair
as doing so on the basis of his or her sex, race or religion. It would also be
inconsistent with the principles of equal treatment and non-discrimination,
which are at the heart of the notion of individual rights which most modern
decomracies espouse.
If a specific older worker truly has, say, less concentration or manual strength
than a younger worker, and this objectively makes that candidate less
qualified for the particular job, then employers could come to a determination
regarding the employment decision n the cae, based on relative lack of
suitability for the job rather than merely on age. Age by itself should never
be a determinant.
There is nothing to indicate that older workers are not as productive and
essential to the work place as younger workers. Indeed the contrary may be
the case. The benefits of having a mixed-age work force, which is, better
reflects the wider society may bring a crucial competitive advantage to the
employing organisation. Older workers could take on mentoring role for
younger workers who may not have as wide a range of life skills and
experiences as older workers. Conversely, older workers may be able to
benefit from the technical skills of younger workers who are more aware of
cutting edge technologies.
Ultimately any decision should be based on general principles concerning the
rights of individuals to achieve their true potential, the needs of companies to
meet the economic challenges ahead and the need for laws governing the
rights of individuals to be consistent across all spheres of public life.
Therefore, in my view, discrimination against older workers should definitely
be made illegal.
q. use of television as a channel for education.
Q. Education is a critical element to the prosperity of any nation. The
more educated the people in a country are, the more successful their
nation becomes. Discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree
with this statement. Support your point of view with reasons and/or
examples from your own experience or observations.
Ans. It is a universal fact that education plays a pivotal role to uplift the
lifestyle of an individual by providing wisdom, knowledge and skills.
Consequently, a nation will be developed and there will be prosperity and
happiness everywhere in a particular country. Therefore, I completely accord
with the given notion.
Obviously, education is a key to lead a country to the summit of success. It is
seen that most of the developed nations hold the brilliant leaders in cabinet
and they always have plan for the betterment of the citizens. For instance, the
president of the U.S.A., Mr Obama, who has achieved degree in Political
science and he has a great power of handling diplomatic issues effectively.
Thus, education brings not only knowledge but also skills, which are vital to
put forward nation to the peak.
Further, emphasizing my point of view, multifarious developments are
inevitable to be the most successful nation in the cosmos. And educating
people is the only plausible way to invite such development in a nation.
Therefore, educated people always plan with due consideration and act wisely
to consolidate the nation and make the country more successful. In the same
way, a nations socio-economic development is only possible if the countrys
dwellers are educated enough.
In conclusion, education is definitely a prime factor that contributes a nation to
gain affluence and educated personnel always plays a crucial role to lead a
nation on the way to success. Therefore, the more educated persons are in a
country the more success will be achieved.
