.Some people believe that young people bring more profits to a company. Others say that older people actually bring more profits. Discuss both views and give your opinion
It is widely known that private companies thrive when they are profitable i.e. when their revenues are greater than their expenditure. However, there are predominantly contrasting views where a section of society vociferously deems that youth are capable to bring more profit. While others emphasize that older people, due to their experience, can lead to greater profits than their counterparts.

Apparently, various factors make a section of people advocate that young generation have a positive impact on a company’s bottom line in the profit & loss statement and have many reasons to substantiate this argument. First and foremost is, in 21st century technology is changing dynamicallytechnology has grown by leaps and bounds and it is widely believed that younger people can embrace to these changes better. For example, next generation technology companies like facebook and twitter have a comparatively younger work force that are driving the technology and its changes. Secondly, young people are much more energetic than their older counterparts due to obvious biological reasons. Thirdly, younger generation are much more liberal and have a different world view that is needed in a world changing so quickly.

On the other hand, some believe that old people have an upper edge over young people for myriad reasons. Chiefly, because of the experience old people have an ability to handle important tasks better. To illustrate, Major bigwig companies like TATA, Infosys etc etcetra have people over 50 years of age in the senior management. Additionally, old people are systematic and organized, two significant traits required by corporates which are lacking in young people.

In my opinion, both young and old people bring different skills and traits to the table. Therefore, it is mandatory to have an optimum mix of both in order to reap in more profits. (example needed)

 More complexity
 Connecting words like consequently, subsequently, conspicuously, evidently, henceforth, resultantly, owing to, at the outset.
 Lacks coherence

As only small percentage of people have interest in the arts, government funding for this is a waste of money. Spending this on health and education would be far more beneficial to society. To what extent do you agree?

Sample Answer (Band 9.0)

Art is the finest form of humanistic expression bringing forth different emotions and feelings. In this context, state financing for the same has become a contentious issue as the number of people interested in it is less. Henceforth, A section of society advocates that Executive bodies should employ most of their funds in inevitable public services such as Education, Health as it will play paramount role in acquiring sustainable development. However, I partially agree to the given statement.

Apparently, arts serve many a purpose in building up an ethical and value oriented fraternity as it is the rarest form that upholds humanistic values. Besides, art is a medium by that dissent against existing social set-up is successfully brought out which, in turn, brings in myriad social revolution. Furthermore, arts can instill in a man with the fine attributes of being a man like fellow feeling, compassion, empathy etcetera. Such characteristics make a man uniquely different from animals by elevating human spirits to a glorified and virtuous heights. Lastly, it is a tourism booster which creates enormous job prospects and thereby stabilizes the economy of a country. Louvre museum in paris that showcases more than 0.4 million pieces of art is case in point because it stands as an epitome for successful French tourism.

On the other hand, health and education is considered to be the backbone of a nation. Firstly, education empowers us intellectually to interact with others in our life. It brings maturity and teaches us to live in society with changing environment. It is a way to social development, economic growth and technological development. Secondly, it is a tool which stimulates safety and security against crime. There will be prevention of wars, terrorism and strife. Thirdly, more space exploration, search for extraterrestrial life. The investment in this sector will be in the form of establishing more schools, universities and vocational training centres for the school drop-outs and also providing scholarships for continuing higher education. 

Likewise, It is indispensable that everyone in the society has the means to get the basic health benefits. Authorities can invest in the health sector in numerous ways. The medical practitioners should be taken care by providing them with the sufficient remuneration and advantages so that the important skill migration in the medical field of the country could be avoided. Also, the higher bodies can educate the general public and implement many vaccination programs across the counties to eradicate many diseases such as polio, chicken pox and malaria.

Suffice to say, Art, health and education are the only valuable assets human can achieve. On the one hand, art play an integral part of the society’s cultural and intellectual development and amusement. On the other hand, health and education enable to create fine balance of our body, mind and spirit. So, it is high time that Government should allocate funds in all these fields for the rapid growth of a society.

Sample Answer (Band 9.0)

Owing to the unexpected progress in science and Technology, social media platform is one of those technological innovations that are boundlessly used by people to taking in person. However, there are predominantly two contrasting views where a section of society deems that hypermedia plays indispensable part in making friendships and socializing. While others emphasis that making friends through direct contact is stronger and eternal.



On the one hand, interactive media like ‘Facebook’, ‘Twitter’ provides an insurmountable space for those who want to involve in friendships and find common ground, before even meeting. Online social groups have become fundamental building blocks of modern human societies. Adding further, we can keep in contact with anybody anywhere at any time, since it is geographically independent. Moreover, the feature of uploading and sharing videos not only provides information, but also entertainment. What more, chat rooms enable us to send and receive messages instantly. Video calling on whatsapp boosts the friendships. Hence, it is an awesome tool in finding new companions.

On the other hand, some believe that making friends via multimedia system can lead to isolation, potentially harmful situations in life and have plethora of reasons to substantiate it. To begin with, lots of people creating their duplicate profiles in the cyber space with exactly different information about what they are and making friends. Tender minds become pry in this play and some even spoils all their reasure and trust in others. Secondly, as this interaction is online, parents have no way of monitoring it and protecting their children. Thirdly, online friends can not be with you when you are sick and you need a friend’s touch. Face to face friends are with you in thick and thin and this can never be possible with online friends. Lastly, the worst part of technology is that the distant world is made closer and the near distant. For example, my sister, a technophile obsessed with latest electronic gadgets, always chats with friends on social networking sites but finds little time to interact with me.

In my opinion, Face to face communications lead to the development of trustworthy relationships that last long. Meeting a friend or a dear one over a coffee or in a park is always a memorable experience. Social media friendships lack that warmth. Also, we cannot expect our online friends living in another part of the globe to help us when we are in trouble. Hence virtual friends can never replace the real ones.

My home country is famous for its diverse culture and heritage, It is known as land of festivals and celebrations. People here give importance to religious and historical events. They celebrate them as a mark of remembrance of events. Many festivals are celebrated here like Holi, Baisakhi, Is, Dussehra,Christmas and many more. But the festival which has a paramount significance is Diwali.

Diwali is known to be festival of lights. Hindus celebrate it with great enthusiasm. It comes in the month of October or November, 20 days after Dussehra. People start preparing for this festival in advance. They clean and decorate their houses, buy new clothes, utensils and jewellery. Not Only this, markets and shops are also well decorated for this Gala day. The festival has a connection with the great Epic ‘Ramayana’. As Lord Rama returned on this day after 14 years of exile with his wife sita and younger brother Laxmana, so people of his kingdom celebrated his return with great joy and happiness by lighting earthen lamps and distributing sweets.

I also follow all traditions, customs and rituals to celebrate this festival . I also like it most due to its importance, sanctity and auspiciousness.

one 

thing I dislike about this holy day is that some people indulge themselves in drinking and gambling which is really very bad. The other thing is that just to have fun, people burst crackers of high noise bombs which create noise as well as air pollution.

Animals are imperative part of eco-system. They help to maintain food-chain in nature and without them there will be imbalance in nature . I like to watch and know about Animals but my favourite one is Elephant. It is found in most of the dense forests in my country.

I saw this animal for the first time in zoo during my childhood. Now I can see it in the circus and wildlife sanctuary. Sometimes, in the fair this animal is used for joy ride. The animal has a huge body, two fan like ears, a long trunk, tusks, a small tail and tiny eyes. This is an herbivorous animal. It has thick skin. It’s features make it funny and attractive among people.

People tame this wild animal and use it for different purposes like carrying load and for transportation. In circus it is used for entertainment. This animal is killed for its tusk which has a great export value. The decoration pieces made from tusk are very costly. In my county, in some of the states it is worshipped as it symbolises Lord Ganesha and as the most intelligent animal . I like the animal for its giant body structure and intelligence.

Elephant is now becoming extinct in some parts of my country. So , It is considered as an endangered species. Government is taking many steps to protect this beautiful creature on earth.

It is popular saying that “Health is Wealth ” . However, Technological era has forced people to live a sedentary lifestyle which is responsible for deteriorating health. To keep themselves healthy and happy people go for numerous health activities like strolling, running, jogging , yoga, aerobics, outdoor games. As I am an IT professional, so I also have to spend 8-10 hours in front of computers . That is why to keep myself healthy and active, I take up yoga regularly in the morning for 45 minutes.

For yoga , only a mat and a water bottle is required. Yoga has enormous benefits. It improves blood circulation throughout the body. Along with this, It improves immune system and reduces cholesterol levels in blood which helps me to maintain an appropriate weight and shape of the body. Yoga keeps me stress free and active for whole day. The breathing exercises help our respiratory system to work efficiently. It is due to yoga that I hardly fall sick and it has helped me to get rid of chronic diseases also.

As nature of my job is working while sitting, so yoga keeps me active , energetic, and helps me to work efficiently whole day. It acts as a perfect medicine for a hectic life. So i suggest my friends and other family members to take yoga to keep them healthy, wealthy and wise as it is renowned axiom, “A Healthy Mind Resides in Healthy Body”
