 Some countries invest in specialized sports facilities for top athletes but not for the average people. Is this a positive or negative development?

Indubitably, sports elites have paramount significance in building reputation of a country. It is often argued that numerous nations channelise staggering amount of money for sportspersons as compared to ordinary folks. However, it is a constructive as well as destructive trend.

Apparently, government providing luxury treatment for sports elites only hold wide range of constructive benefits. First and foremost, not only specialized sports facilities with advanced technological sources provide platform for practice which increases their chance of participating in Olympic Games ,but also these splendiferous facilities make sure about the quality of sources in order to create safe environment for sportspersons. For instance, plethora of athletics facilities have well furnished swimming pools, fitness centres and government spend big chunks of money for the maintenance of these facilities. Secondly, unlike ordinary folks, sportspersons brings a glory to country while representing country worldwide which creates a constructive ripples in the minds of younglings. Seemingly, on the broader spectrum sports elites symbolizes the fitness which brings paradigm shift in the society.

On the other hand, supreme bodies initialising funds on professional athletes ignoring amateurs have myriad detrimental consequences. Chiefly, if regime do not provide the same facilities to the ordinary people, it will beget harrowing upshots on society as they pay their taxes and great contributor to revenue of the country. To corroborate, BBC did a recent survey that common people paid almost 20% taxes every year from which government benefitted considerably. Hence, they should have equal rights for social amenities. Furthermore, despite the fact that international competitions and reputation of a country is indispensable, allocating funds in professional needs only does not pay off in the long run because the construction and maintenance of sports halls are expensive. On top of that, society has other fundamental issues, which are in need of funds, such as the health care system, city infrastructures and environmental issues. 

To recapitulate, although renowned players sets the standard of country so high on worldwide also encourage the youngster towards prosperity yet country can only survive on the shoulders of common man. Needless to say that they deserve equality in terms of facilities.

Some think that politicians should always be honest while others feel that there are times when they must lie. Discuss both sides and give your own opinion. IELTS | IELTS WRITING TASK-2

 Some think that politicians should always be honest while others feel that there are times when they must lie. Discuss both sides and give your own opinion.

The age of renaissance have brought in the ideas for a nation like secular, sovereign, socialist, republic which in turn became the foundation stone of the democracy and politics. Like every other governing bodies, democratic body is made up of peoples representative commonly known as politician who are expected to be morally and ethically strong. However, there are predominantly two contrasting views where a section of society vehemently believes that the politicians should be honest in every decision and information they  share with the public while others emphasize that there is a need  for limited transparency for greater good of the nation. 

Apparently, various factors make a section of people advocate that the politicians should completely be transparent with the public and have many reasons to substantiate it. First and foremost, an honest politician not only shares the truth with the public ,but also make them aware of their rights, and help them take a stand on the decisions taken by the government and oppose if needed. To vindicate, India have recently passed the farm bill which was said to be in the interest of businessperson, in such a scenario it was the political leaders who educated the public on the existence and after effect of the governments decision which lead to protest and the decision to pass the bill was taken back. Secondly, unlike secrecy, transparency also increases peoples trust on the government especially in the nation where majority of the public is below the desired literacy rate. 

Nevertheless, some believe that the politician should practice limited transparency for myriad reasons. Chiefly, decisions on international affairs and economy does not directly relate to the common public and require complete opacity until the objective is accomplished. To vindicate, India is one of the biggest defense buyer in the world and decisions based on the defense purchase should not be disclosed as the neighboring countries can approach to UN and interfere in the deal. Furthermore, cross border defense operations can only be conducted by the decision of government. Hence, any information breech can create the chaos in and among nation. According to BBC report, all the defense operations conducted across the globe were successful only if these were conducted under complete secrecy and the logistics were performed under cover at night. Additionally, does politician help the nation in its development by lying or producing false information in front of the public? Certainly yes, in India its quite common to have heated argument on the basis of cast, or religion even inside the parliament. Under such circumstances, if the news is released to the public there may be a wide spread chaos in the society which may lead to civil war like situations. 

In my profound opinion, politician should not lie and maintain complete transparency with the general public, but at times it becomes necessary to hide the information if helps the society in maintaining peace and harmony.

Many governments think that economic progress is their most important goal. Some people, however, think that other types of progress are equally important for a country. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion. IELTS | IELTS WRITING TASK-2

 Many governments think that economic progress is their most important goal. Some people, however, think that other types of progress are equally important for a country. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.

A multitude of meanings is attached to the idea of development; the term is complex, contested, ambiguous, and elusive. Nonetheless, in the simplest terms, development can be defined as bringing about social change that allows people to achieve their human potential. However, there are predominantly two contrasting views where a section of society vehemently believes that the economic development is substantial goal for the nation’s development, while other emphasize that other factors like education, health, agriculture are also equally indispensable for any nation. 

Apparently, various factors make a section of people advocate that economic progress is of paramount significance for a country and have many reasons to substantiate it. First and foremost, economic development is taken not only a tool to rank the nations ,but also is a host of ostensible factor for a nation to make a global presence. To vindicate, according  to Economic Times, India is ranked as the fastest growing economy across the globe which opens huge opportunities for international trade relations with other countries. Secondly, unlike the bygone days, in the modern era, many technology giants often look for fast developing economies to enter and establish their infrastructure at an unprecedented scale. Recently, Tesla and Apple took this opportunity to enter the Indian market and establish their production line. On top of that, economic progress creates the image of more reliable nation among other countries and global financial organizations. 

Nevertheless, some believe that other types of development are fundamental  for myriad reasons. Chiefly, food is the basic necessity of any society hence, agriculture is a key influencing factor. As published in the UNICEF report, there are many economies which are progressing fine but have very poor hunger index as majority of the nation does not have adequate and quality food. Furthermore, when trade and technology transfer is influenced by the economic development, it need a well educated and literate human resource to support it. According to the BBC, India is most preferred option for technology sector as majority of the educated people are engineers. Additionally, does modern equipment’s and well educated doctors who are capable to adapt with technology play a cardinal role in developing a nation in medical sector ? Certainly yes, advanced and affordable medicine such as in India, also promote medical tourism from developed economies. 

In my profound opinion, although education, medicine and many other factors are important for any nation however, they all originate as a byproduct of the economic development of a country.

It is commonly believed that nowadays main factors that affect a child's development are media, pop culture and friends. A different point of view is that family plays the most significant role. Discuss both views and give your opinion. IELTS | IELTS WRITING TASK-2

It is commonly believed that nowadays main factors that affect a child's development are media, pop culture and friends. A different point of view is that family plays the most significant role. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

In the modern era, a child’s upbringing has paramount significance for their holistic development. However, there are predominantly two contrasting views where a section of society vehemently deems that media, pop culture and peer group are fundamental for child’s  development while other emphasises that family being the biggest institution is a contributing factor. 

Apparently, various factors make a section of people advocate that the key factors influencing child’s  growth are media, pop culture  and companions and have many reasons to substantiate it. First and foremost, not only Cartoon such as, Shin Chan which is an anime and originally created purely for elderly people is often dubbed in vernacular languages for youngsters in their tender age which they try to imitate and  is  Inappropriate in social gathering ,but also pop culture which is known as hippy culture like baggy and tattered jeans, loose clothes, body tattoos and piercing drifts which is common for a child to come under the influence of this pop culture to use slangs and curse words in almost every conversation. To vindicate, according to BBC research it is revealed that a child may get involved with alcohol and drugs as shown in pop song videos or posters. Secondly, unlike family, a youngster under the influence of peer group take extremes steps which has dismal consequences on their gradual evolvement. 

Nevertheless, some believe that parents are the true heroes for their children for myriad reasons. Chiefly, if a child is purely based on the upbringing by the family,  he/she will be morally scrupulous. To corroborate, according to Forbes Magazine, youngsters who were inculcated with moral and cultural values have no criminal record. Furthermore, are parents torchbearer for their offspring’s? Certainly yes, since they are aware of their strengths and weakness, they help them to choose right career. 

In my profound opinion, although families are the only institution in this society which either introduces any culture to their child or can give them controlled access to other culture and media platform which have greater significance on the childs development yet media update then with latest trends.

In today’s world private companies rather than government pay for and conduct most scientific research. Do you think the advantages outweigh its disadvantages? IELTS | IELTS WRITING TASK-2

 In today’s world private companies rather than government pay for and conduct most scientific research. Do you think the advantages outweigh its disadvantages? 

Indubitably, science has a substantial contribution in the growth of a nation's economy. It is often argued that in the contemporary era, research work should be executed by private companies instead of government institutes. However, even though this practice brings about a mixed bag of both boon and bane, demerits outshine merits.

Apparently, conducting scientific work via private industries holds myriad detrimental ramifications. First and foremost, it not only hires employees from other nations ,but also offers them high salaries and other benefits. This could lead to an exponential rise in the unemployment rate of the host country. To vindicate, according to BBC research, In 2015, a prolific increase in unemployed inhabitants has been witnessed in America when they handed-over their research work to a private organization. Secondly, unlike confidentiality maintained inside local government companies, information could be leaked easily in these private multinational companies and personal data can be compromised at an unprecedented scale. Thirdly, if non-governmental bodies run the whole scientific research, benefits will be derived by them directly which is not a positive sign for the economy of the host country.

Nevertheless, it holds constructive benefits. A paramount significance is that research work gets easily accomplished, when skilled people from any part of the world, who are working in private companies, can participate and share their inputs towards the task they are trying to achieve. To corroborate, per Forbes magazine, private companies deliver research work at a much faster pace in comparison to local research centres. Furthermore, is it easy to get a job in such private companies? Certainly yes, since these companies give preference to talent and skilled people can reap the benefits from it, whereas working in a government organization requires high qualifications and multiple years of experience.

To recapitulate, although there are numerous constructive ripples of using a private company for research work, it has distinct disadvantages for the host nation such as disclosure of data. Needless to state, cons massively tide over pros.

The key to solving environmental problems is for the present generation to sacrifice their convenient life. To what extent do you agree or disagree? IELTS | IELTS WRITING TASK-2

 The key to solving environmental problems is for the present generation to sacrifice their convenient life. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Indubitably, mother nature has paramount significance in life of mankind basically it gives existence to humanity but at present it is under imminent threat. It is often argued that if people adapt a precautionary lifestyle can bring constructive ripples in the current situation of environment. However, I partially agree with this given notion.

Apparently, the simple and stable lifestyle of folks has definite advantages. First and foremost, not only people spend whopping amount of money to get luxurious life, but also they add those sources in their life which begets harrowing upshot on mother nature. For instance, modern society can not live without air conditions, electric gadgets and plastic bags which are catastrophic elements to environment because the excessive use of air condition and refrigerator produce CFC which are deteriorating the ozone layer. Seemingly, paper bags should be used instead of plastic bags as they are non biodegradable and  aquatic animals die only because of plastic which disturb the whole cycle of nature. Secondly, unlike the bygone days, in the contemporary era, people do not prefer to walk even for shorter distance they use only cars, even everyone in the family has a car as a result excessive use of Cars produce more air pollution which brings environmental destruction at an unprecedented scale. Unequivocally, car pool and bike riding are the only curative measures to this menace.

Nevertheless, government should intervene to solve potential problem for myriad reasons. Chiefly, if regime support to implement some rules and restrictions regularity, it will be chance of improvement because we can not leave everything in public hands ,it is wrong perspective so it is need of the hour to play a part by government. There should not only be the rules and regulations but regime should make sure to implement those rules . To corroborate,  BBC recently published a survey illustrating million of dollars invested by government to implement the protocols and regulations to eradicate the mammoth rise in destruction like they increase the tax for industries which are major destructors, and also build the special lanes on road to encourage the car sharing and providing funding to technologies to bring new electric vehicle to mitigate the usage of oil and raised the hydro bills. Furthermore,  can education be a contributing factor to cure this jeopardy? Certainly, yes, education is one of the tool which would bring paradigm shift in society by educating children and people it can become possible to make them understand this alarming effect due to overuse of natural resources which can only be achieved with financial support of government.

To recapitulate,  prudence will prevail if both public and regime work hand in hand to safeguard a mother nature and also with prescribed change in lifestyle which would bring prosperity for the future generation
