There are many different types of music in
the world today. Why do we need music? Is the traditional music of a country
more important than the international music that is heard everywhere nowadays?
Introduction
Opening statement
Music is a medicine that refreshes the mind. Music
is a teacher that teaches without giving the impression to us like we
are being taught by it. As the human race has expanded its horizons,
it is quite natural to have a huge variety of expressions in musical
terms. There are hundreds types of music all over the world. Artists are
creating wonders every day. Music is life in itself. Music fellows serve
the world so creatively and joyfully. I would like to explicate it at length in
following paragraphs.
Body para 1
We need music as it charges us, it provides us new
meanings, and it enlightens us if it is based on true and strong
cultural foundations. Music connects us. Music makes us wider and open in
terms of thinking, expression, feelings, knowledge and self-realization.
Music is a great way of connecting to our own selves in a positive and
peaceful way.
Body Para 2
We have a huge range in music because of enormous
diversity in the cultures of human existence all over the world. We have traditional
touch based music along with international ones. Traditional music explains
the minuteness of the culture belonging to a particular area. It is
very imperative to care traditional artists. They are our legacies. They
are preserving our cultures for the future generations.
On the other hand, international music has developed a
lot and it is showing amazing possibilities to traditional artists also.
It is of great value if we establish a productive correlation
between both musical tastes. They both have ideas and ability to touch the
hearts of masses. Both music types have their own pluses and minuses
for each other.
Conclusion
Type 1
After the overall analysis, it can be concluded that International
music is full of limitless touches of creativity and purity but at the
same time, one must bother his traditional and cultural music.
Type 2
It is our urgent responsibility to foster our traditional
folks and encourage them to learn from international rock stars. Music has no
boundary so every artist should be welcomed at every corner of the world.
Solved sample 2
Should wealthy nations be required to share
their wealth among poorer nations by providing such things as food and
education? Or it is the responsibility of the governments of poorer nations to
look after their citizens themselves?
Introduction (general fact + paraphrasing +
thesis statement)
Introduction
If one is rich then it is obviously his duty
to share the secrets of his richness among others. This
situation is also aptly applicable to wealthy nations who have
strengthen themselves over the years and presented themselves to the
rest of the world as the assets for the whole world. As the question of
sharing food and educational resources is concerned, surely / definitely,
wealthy nations should initiate this noble practice. Sharing is a
powerful activity that actually strengthens both parties.
Body para 1
A huge / massive / giant / powerful / rock
solid step towards development of poor nations can be taken by enriching
them in the area of education as Nelson Mandela nicely elaborated
this point when he said that to enhance a person, educate him. With the
help in education, rich nations will open the way of long term and permanent
prosperity for poorer nations.
Body para 2
Food is also a major area where poorer nations need a real
help and by taking strong and purposeful actions, wealthy nations
can truly develop the needy countries in the field of basic /
fundamental food security of their citizens. Both areas are quite important
/ essential / vital / pivotal to focus to elevate / transcend
/ empower the masses / folks / natives of poorer nations.
Body para 3
One should focus beyond the help of wealthy
nations for needy ones; it is also a primary responsibility
of the governments of poorer nations to think deeply about how they
can make themselves strong in basic walks of development. Apart from
taking help in food and education, poorer countries must focus on making
long term growth policies for their citizens with the worthy guidelines
of wealthy nations.
Conclusion
Concept of helping poorer nations in food and education
sectors by wealthy nations is of great importance / of huge value /
worthwhile in all dimensions and creates a win-win platform for
both parties.
Solved sample 3
News editors decide what to broadcast on
television and what to print in newspapers. What factors do you think influence
these decisions? Do we become used to bad news? Would it be better if more good
news was reported?
Introduction
(General fact +
paraphrasing + thesis statement)
It is always better to
monitor news before it goes to public domain. As India is a grand
country with a huge viewers and readers base for media. Somewhere
news presenters have a key responsibility of reflecting the world in a respectful,
clear, meaningful and informative way. The process of collecting news and
presenting it with proper processing to the world is very labor-cum-care
intensive work. Before reaching to any worthwhile conclusion, I will
closely monitor each and every aspect of this matter.
Body para 1
There are several factors that highly
contribute in this regard likewise the popularity of the stuff among
viewers and readers, social relevance of the material, meaningful insight
of the work and effect of the matter after publishing. Nicely this work is
being done by news editors on different platforms in various categories
/ different segments. Of course, it is of huge worth to monitor the
quality of the stuff before allowing it for the common man.
Body para 2
As it goes absolutely well with human nature that
one is very much vulnerable to negative news and somewhere this
psychology is purposefully exploited by the news editors. On T.V. and
print media, it has now become a trend that present negative news and
become popular. This trend is not a good one for a responsible nation and for
an ethical media organization. We need to reconsider the kind of
news that we broadcast in the public. Certainly, it will create
powerful impact on the social psychology and will bring a productive
mindset in the people.
Conclusion
Media should take active participation in sharing
positive, powerful, meaningful and enlightening news more in the public
to maintain its respectful position in the eyes of the people.
Solved sample 4
The ideas of having a single career is
becoming an old fashioned one. The new fashion will be to have several careers
or ways of earning money and further education will be something that contains
throughout life. Discuss both views.
Introduction
The mindset of having more than one career is
certainly a great mindset and it enriches the person with different
types of life experiences. Today, people are getting clearly the trap of
security within a career and now choosing to explore life in an open way
with an ideology of making new experiments with career. In coming
paragraphs, I will clearly discuss all possible views on this matter.
Body para 1
Obviously, with options of
career, one becomes more exploring and creative. Moreover, the
mentality behind the meaning of career has also changed, earlier
people were looking career as a way of earning livelihood but now people
are curious to fill their lives with meanings and continuous learning
along with positive contribution for mankind. People are choosing to serve
mankind with the help of career. They are defining careers as a ladder
to explore their own powers and talents.
Body para 2
Probing further, People
of today are very much excited about challenging careers. They
are highly aimed at things that make them stretch and elevate
themselves. The concept of finding careers that suits and fills the inner
desire of a person is really powerful. History is evident that when
a person starts looking for a career that makes him happy from physical,
spiritual, financial, personal and social aspects, he naturally lives a
fulfilled life.
Body para 3
Yes, it is also meaningful to understand,
the true meaning of education. Earlier people used to think that education is
an outer game and it is all about learning external world but today
mindset of people have completely shifted and they have started connecting
education with exploration of their inner resources on consistent basis.
Conclusion
Quite clearly / therefore / eventually /
meaningfully / as a matter of the fact / the bottom line is the
powerful concept of having more than one career option is commendable
and it enables a person to explore his inner resources beyond the
predictions.
Solved sample 5
“Fatherhood
ought to be emphasized as much as motherhood. The idea that women are solely
responsible for deciding whether or not to have babies leads on to the idea
that they are also responsible for bringing the children up.”
To what extent do you agree or disagree with
the opinion?
Introduction
Father has his unique role while mother has
her own vital role in the meaningful upbringing of a child.
Both parties have responsibility to give their child an exciting perspective
towards life as he grows up. Somewhere, the huge responsibility
is always played by the mother while father is considered the main earning
hand of the family and because of this, he is kept away from the minute
responsibilities of children nurturing. In coming stuff, clearly I will
put light on both views.
Body para 1
There are several factors that decide like whether
the key role will be played by the mother or the father. In a family, its
earning power, educational background, openness to new cultures,
and mutual coordination among each other, family legacy and size of the family
are very much responsible in telling that whether the father will be the
vital or the mother will be the caption.
Body para 2
Males and females both have their perception levels
regarding how life works and how things contribute in life at different
stages and they both are totally capable in giving their child new and
meaningful eyes. Mothers give birth to babies and do all necessary physical
sacrifices for their children just to ensure a smooth arrival of baby in the
world. Mothers do grand contribution in the birth of a child but it
never means that they are solely responsible for all decisions regarding
the future of the child. It will be quite meaningful if mothers and
fathers create a significant balance in the upbringing activity.
Conclusion
It is like mutual cooperation situation as they
both are in the game of family evolution and they both can play amazingly
great if they respect each other’s role with genuine concern. Here, fathers
are required to take the main stage in this whole process so that mothers
can be helped significantly in all this.

“Prevention
is better than cure.”
Out of a country’s health budget, a large
proportion should be diverted from treatment to spending on health education
and preventive measures.
To what extent do you agree or disagree with
the statement?
Introduction
A sound health reveals a well-educated and
worthy portrait of a person. Out of all precious blessings of life,
health is the primary one. One must not overlook his health. When we
call health is important obviously we point / figure out certain
lifestyle ways and eating habits that matters most in maintaining a
strong and active body. In coming paragraphs, with absolute clarity I will
touch the all possible aspects.
Body para 1
Certainly, I agree on the
concept of proactiveness. One should be proactive in his approach.
One should be crystal clear in is mind that he is going to live in such
a manner that gifts him a fitness based and active lifestyle. Like
actors, celebrities, politicians and white-color officials normally live in
their real lives.
Body para 2
One more thing is there
that every disease lies in the way we live our daily routine. Likewise,
what we eat, how we eat, how much we eat, how many times we eat, the quality of
food that we take, the level of work we do, the primary purpose of our
life, the work schedule that we follow and naturally, the self-image
of ours about ourselves, are the responsible factors that affect a
person’s health. When one goes out of shape in his fitness then he
looks like a handicap but when he has a choice to do or not to do
the things that adversely affect him, he must show a proactive
approach.
Conclusion
A country should consciously invest
substantial money on expanding health awareness and elevating
the native’s mindset towards the healthy lifestyle because by
doing so, a country can save billions and those billions can be
productively invested into other meaningful areas for an exponential
growth of that nation.
Solved sample 7
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
the opinion?
Introduction
Every coin has two facets. As
far as proper controlling of crimes is concerned, there are several
factors that matters most. Likewise, the criminal’s background, the
magnitude of crime, social effect of crime, damage to the victim, intentions of
the criminal, impression of law and order of the area are the genuine
factors that contribute a lot. In the coming stanzas, I will explicate
the both sides of the concerned matter.
Body para 1
Certainly, a penalty of capital punishment is must if the
crime really does impact the mindset of masses badly. In that situation,
it becomes urgent to leave an impression for others as well that such
things will not be tolerable in future. Because, law is there to empower
the nation, to strengthen the faith of its citizens in the system and to safely
serve the nation. It must be very clear that if severity of a crime is
at peak then decision like capital punishment is quite justified.
Body para 2
Exactly, the decision of capital punishment is inspired
with the approach of leaving a fear in the minds of people about law and
order. Up to certain extent, it is obviously right to behave like
this for the uneducated and unaware natives of a country to maintain
their safety and security level.
Body para 3
There is another possible approach for controlling
violence in the society and that is sending the criminals in a tough lifestyle
where there mind could be washed and they can be turned up into
meaningful approach however this requires a focused and well planned
action but impacts will be astounding and mass thinking touchable.
Conclusion
A country should go for capital punishment like death
penalty for severe crimes that powerfully contribute in disturbing
the peace of the nation but it also have some alternative approach for
improving the mindset of criminal by giving them a specific lifestyle
for years under close monitoring so that they can be transformed
into worthy citizens.
Solved sample 8
The position of women in society has changed markedly in
the last twenty years. Many of the problems young people now experience, such
as juvenile delinquency; arise from the fact that many married women now work
and not at home to care for their children.
To what extent do you agree or disagree with
the opinion?
Introduction
One cannot deny from the truth
that position of women has transformed totally in the society and it is bringing
certain positives and negatives. When we put light on the negatives
then things like lost childhood of family kids and involvement of family
kids in unproductive and society harmful things, primarily come into the
mind. Somewhere the culture that women empowerment and active
involvement of females has brought a meaningless attitude of family
kids for society.
Body para 1
It is of huge worth to have a
mother at home especially to guide and nurture the kids in a
meaningful way. Somewhere, when kids do not get love and attention from
their own family they start thinking about means of getting attention
and certainly love from outside. Feelings of such kinds do not come in a day, it
takes years to make kids ready to commit such socially harmful stuff and
making them available for youngsters crimes and bad things.
Body para 2
Mainly the thing responsible for such
behavior of adults is lack of unconditional love from
their own family and role of mother in imparting devoted love to her
kids is primary. When a kid gets respect and love from his mother, he
automatically understands the meaning of life. He grows up with such
feelings like I should do something good for others and I should do some
creative things for my country but when these things are absent from his
upbringing, he naturally inclines himself to violence and addictions.
Conclusion
There is a mandatory need of mothers love in the
life of children to make them aware about powerful feelings like respect
for others life, spreading love in the society and respect for others safety
and security. Mothers should also come forward to understand their primary
role towards their children.
Solved sample 9
Popular events like football world cup and other
international sporting occasions are essential in easing international tensions
and releasing patriotic emotions in a safe way.
To what extent do you agree or disagree with this
opinion?
Introduction
It is quite imperative to consider the impact
which international sports events create / generate / produce among
participating countries. Concern / matter / point / aspect of role played by
popular events of sports in reducing / lightening / weakening the
tensions between countries is worth to consider. Both dimensions of
the aspect have solid grounds and I will put light in a clear manner
before reaching to some meaningful conclusion.
Body para 1
(Main idea 1) Closeness between people of
two countries breeds emotional understanding of each other’s true
feelings. Furthermore, once they start interacting or meeting to each other
on such events, naturally, they will tend to realize that there
is nothing in between them which is hostile apart from utter
misunderstandings.
(Supporting idea 1) Certainly,
the atmosphere such events generate, is beyond any national boundaries and
religious limits. Sometimes, it happens that people start appreciating
other countries just because of their sportsmen and their sports spirit.
Even, it is noticed almost in every game that in the winning moments,
everyone watches the game by completely associating themselves with the true
spirit of victory and defeat.
(Supporting idea 2) Because
of their forming histories and political reasons, there are always
tensions going on in between many countries and it becomes essential in such
environment that there should be some platform where people can
interact and know each other. (Supporting idea 3) Because the common man
of any country does not keep any ill feeling for the common man of other
country. It is media and political people who look the situation in
other ways and fill the minds of common man with worry and insecurity.
Within such climate, sports and international events are a panacea to ease
the tensions.
Conclusion
(Main conclusion)
Meaningful and huge importance goes to popular events in lightening the
tensions and heavy emotions that people worldwide carry for other / neighboring
countries. (Restating opinion) Countries should come forward to increase
the frequency of such emotionally-healer kind of events worldwide.
Solved sample 10
When a country develops its technology, the traditional
skills and ways of life die out. It is pointless to try and keep them alive.
To what extent do you agree or disagree with this
opinion?
Introduction (general fact + paraphrasing +
thesis statement)
It is quite obvious that
for the arrival of new old has to go. There is no bad lie in this as
human beings are continuously evolving themselves. To make progress,
one has to redefine the things in non-stop manner. It is certainly true
that when a country plans out to grow in the field of its basic
infrastructure and facilities with the help of technology then simply it
has to empty itself from old ways of doing same things. Coming
paragraphs will be revealing my exact point of views with both grounds.
Body para 1
The main thing is,
whether this evolution costs much or less, it is quite compulsory
to move ahead. As far as, progress is making life effective and complete,
it is totally acceptable and adaptable. With passage of time and
population boom, somewhere, it has become necessary to update our systems
of doing things. People are now looking at fast ways of getting facilities
and they are not in a mood to wait even for routine things of life. To
cope up the needs of people, a huge emergence of newness in
technology requires.
Body para 2
At present times,
systems of providing basic facilities has become so fast and accurate and
somewhere they are serving masses properly as well. Yes, the concept
of dying traditional ways is also of worth because somewhere old ways
give us the ideas for reinventing the things. And also, one must respect
the oldness to celebrate and explore the endless possibilities
that lie in the new.
Conclusion
(Main conclusion) To
keep the old ways alive is completely needless but taking constant
ideas from traditional theories to innovate the system is quite
imperative. (Restating opinion) One should appreciate the old to
reinvent it in order to get the new out of the old constantly.
Solved sample 11
In many countries children are engaged in some kind of
paid work. Some people regard this as completely wrong, while others consider
it as valuable work experience, important for learning and taking
responsibility.
To what extent do you agree or disagree with this
opinion?
Introduction
Very true it is, like when a child works, he
sees the world in a different and responsible way.
Doing work installs certain meaningful human values in children. Matter
of paid working for children has always been a matter of debate and
views are there in favor or against of it. In the coming stanzas,
I will clearly explicate the both grounds before presenting any concrete
final saying.
Body para 1
The first perspective / the first and
foremost point / the fresh opinion on this matter is
about the positives of this situation. Likewise, children become more
open, creative, worthy, dutiful, disciplined, cultured, responsible and
contributing towards the society. They get to know about how to survive
and how to grow in the world. They make themselves self-dependent.
They buy freedom when they work with earning money and earning
experience opportunities. They learn the language of real world. They
learn the power of efforts, the power of consistent growth and
the power of gradual learning in long term evolution.
Body para 2
Somewhere, this culture also inspires children to
become more open and interactive with the outside world in quite young age.
They start thinking in mature manner for the world and for their role
in the world.
Body para 3
(Disagree) Yes, there is also a second road
to this situation / opposite view to the above said situation is also there and
this is about making the children matured people quite early and losing
their childhood joys and colors. Education becomes very rare for a child
if he has deeply immersed in earning atmosphere and later, he might end
up into a low paying job lifetime. Stress is also more in
children who work and study at same time. Natural lifestyle is quite rare
for such children and somewhere it disturbs their progress as a worthy
and asset-like person at later stage.
Conclusion
Situation is having both aspects with solid grounds
still the one with paid work that provides an essential life skill
quite early is more attractive. Children should be fostered to go for
such healthy, productive and incredible work experiences.

Improvements in health, education and trade
are essential for the development of poorer nations. However, the governments
of richer nations should take more responsibility for helping the poorer
nations in such areas. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?
Introduction
To develop any nation, it is quite essential to
strengthen its basic body’s like health, education, technology and trade.
(General fact) Standing firmly in case of a nation requires a lot
effort on basics. If a country is due to any reason is unable to focus
on these fronts then its disaster is guaranteed. Now the question
of help comes, few opine government of wealthy nations should come
forward. (Paraphrasing) I will clearly explicate the whole situation in
coming paragraphs. (Thesis statement)
Body para 1
Certainly, governments of developed nations should come
forward to establish a strong fundamental development model in needy
countries. Of course, there are platforms globally which are making
things better for poorer countries every day. The thing is clear that if
wealthy countries focus more on making needy countries strong then an
atmosphere of peace, mutual respect, global growth and strong sense of one
world can be established.
Body para 2
Policies of developed countries can be
adopted within the close monitoring of their officials to
empower the economy of a poor country. Somewhere, the basic purpose of
globalization is same likewise countries will make each other strong and take
full advantage of each other’s expertise. There are resources available in
poorer countries, those are waiting for people of developed countries to make
them globally useful and expecting to get powerful returns for their
countries.
Conclusion
Sharing is always better and wealthy countries are better
in many ways and surely, they must undertake the responsibility of paving the
way for needy nations and they should do this with integrity, with a
sense of cooperation and with the vision of global growth.

Compare the advantages and disadvantages of
three of the following as media communication information. State the three that
you consider to be the most effective.
Comic’s books
radio television film theatre
Give reasons for your answer and include any
relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.
Introduction
How true it is, communication is important but how
it is conveyed, is far more imperative. As far as media platforms
for communicating information are concerned, there are few important
parameters associated to it. The medium should be of interest to masses, it
should be interactive and it should cover the information in an
interesting manner. I personally favor the films, books and theatre and in
coming paragraphs, I will throw light on these three vital platforms.
Body para 1
Throughout the course of history,
films have been a powerful media. A lot of creativity and technology is amazingly
mixed together that entertains as well as empowers the audience. Films
attract the masses. They emotionally and intellectually convey the
message. Almost every single person is connected to films in some way.
Titanic, avatar, 3 idiots are powerful example of impact of movies on masses.
Body para 2
A second large channel of sharing information
with the crowd is books. Books contain the entire development of human race
within themselves. They fruitfully educate as well as vitally entertain.
Books share culture, ideas, thinking, progress and evolution. Every
single person comes in contact with books either at school level or
throughout out his life due to his interest in lifelong learning.
Body para 3
A very creative and active platform of sharing updates
and developments in the course of human history is through theatre. Theatre
always has been a source of deep motivation as well as a clear
communication. Artists do wonder when they perform and along
with their acting the viewer’s empower themselves.
Conclusion
It is very essential to choose an interactive
communication channel to get updates and motivation about the
world around us. Of course there are several platforms to perform this
task with certain positives and negatives. But the power of films, books and
theatre is eye opening. As they educate us with entertainment and give
no feeling of classroom teaching.

Happiness is considered very important in
life. Why it is difficult to define?
What factors are important in achieving
happiness?
Give reasons for your answer and include any
relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.
Introduction
Happiness in not everything in life but it is
the main thing of life. With happiness, everything looks great
and without it everything looks incomplete. One strange thing about it is
one cannot define happiness in a line or in a specific ways because happiness
is a combination of many things. Again, it depends and varies person to
person that how one interprets the meaning of it. Still I will do my full
endeavor to put light on each aspect of this in coming paragraphs.
Body para 1
Certainly, happiness is a
combination of factors like what a person is chasing in life, how he
is looking at life, how much satisfied he is from his works, what
kind of family relationship he is enjoying, how he is looking at his role in
the world and his personal awareness of his inner power. One more
interesting aspect of happiness is it changes time to time likewise if a
person is establishing himself then somewhere his happiness is associated
with his efforts and his outcome in that endeavor. With age, definition of
happiness alters.
Body para 2
When we talk about the primary principles of getting
happiness, we come to the points like one should have a vision in his
life, one should be socially responsible, one should always learning
about his career, one should be active and polite in his routine
life, one should always willing to help others and one should be always focused
on getting better every day from his own previous records. Happiness
is a way of life. It is hidden in the philosophy of a person’s approach
towards life. Happiness is something which is hard to generalize but
still one can make efforts to define certain things which matters in
getting happiness when we talk about happiness at large.
Conclusion
Happiness is the back bone of a fulfilled life and
it should not only be the goal of life but it should be the living
philosophy of life.

Creative artists should always be given the
freedom to express their own ideas (in words, pictures, music or film) in
whichever way they wish. There should be no government restrictions on what
they do.
To what extent do you agree or disagree with
this opinion?
Introduction
Artists are the living angels on earth. It
is so true, artists communicate feelings of masses with love, creativity and
respectfully. (General fact) Every artist serves his art by actively
pursuing it with passion, dedication, respect and sense of unconditional
devotion. Few say artist should be given full power to express their
originality while some are disagree to this. (Paraphrasing) As far as the
question of giving freedom is concerned, I will analyze the situation with deep
observation in coming set of paragraphs. (Thesis statement)
Body para 1
A free hand for artists is must. As
the artist is part of society, they should be fly like open birds in the sky of
their creative fields. With freedom, creativity explodes. With personal
liberty of expression, an artist put his ultimate art in his work. True
artists are true because they always keep this in mind that they are servers
of their art as well as servers of mankind. They perform to love, to open
the minds, to respect mankind and to salute the great god who has gifted them
with immense talent.
Body para 2
Limitless attitude of government for artists is also
important because artists present a real picture of the society.
They help us in finding where the improvement is required or exactly
where we stand currently. Once artists feel like they are free to express
themselves, they create masterpieces. One more thing is artists contribute
meaningfully in the evolution of mankind.
Body para 3
Yes, it is also necessary to define certain
limits on expression of artists. As far as, the matters of vulgarity,
senseless presentation and emotional disrespect are concerned; creative
artist should be under check for their works. Artists on their own
should feel responsible and strong part of society in establishing a culture
of mutual respect and humility.
Conclusion
Artists are the
creative angels of god and they are must for creative flow of culture and
loving vibrations. (Conclusion) Freedom must be gifted to them to reflect their
inner creative genius out in the world. (Suggestion or future hope)
