Ielts writing task 2 - Team activities can teach more skills for life than activities which are played alone.

Question:-

Team activities can teach more skills for life than activities which are played alone.

To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?


Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.


Write at least 250 words.



Learning is a life long process from cuddle to grave. In the life span, a person learns from parents, peers, teacher and even from group works or solo works. Many people hold the view that solo works teach more to an individual than team work. But I and many other people contradict this notion and back the opposite view.

Firstly, man is a social animal who has been working in the groups to ensure its survival like hunting animals in jungle to get food for community since the immemorial. Moreover, this venture inculcates a sense of belongingness in the people's mind. It teaches them the value of unity. For instance, India's freedom is not because of a single individuals but because of the efforts of the numerous freedom fighters.

Further, this work teaches sharing, caring and an ability to understand feeling and opinion of others which is next to impossible in an individual's work. A person who works in a team becomes more adaptable and this is the need of the hour as more and more employers are selecting candidates who have mastered this trait and can easily mold themselves in any shape. So this work not only helps them personally but also professionally by giving them employment.

A man who works individually may get the authority to take decisions but he will have less options to select from. Whereas, in team work, many minds work together giving rise to a spectrum of innovative ideas and solutions of a problem. So, the group work not only makes a person creative but also gives the chance to learn from others' experience.

To sum up, the team works are more beneficial for people owing to its myriad advantages. One should always prefer this as together people can stand strong and single stick can be broken easily.

Ielts Letter Writing

Question:- A good friend has just changed school and is having difficulty fitting in and needs tour advice. Write a letter to your friend in your letter:- make suggestions as to how they could make friends- suggest joining club, participating in school activities- give any extra general advice

Dear 


Answer:

Dear Steven

I have read your letter and I am very surprised to read that a garrulous and extrovert person like you is not getting involved in the new environment and not having a single friend even after a week since joining new school.

Steven, you were the star of our school group and you can easily mold yourself in different situations. Your charming personality and positive outlook seems  to be faded as you were not in the favor of this shift. But my friend do not worry, we need to change with the time. You can impress and become friend with people with your these two traits and do not forget your sense of humor. Try to approach people rather than waiting for them to come first.

You can easily find like minded people in the games courts or in the theater. Moreover, you can participate in competitions and cultural activities. There group work will help you to talk with people and learn about their perspectives. 

Further, Steven you need to go slow as people take time to accept new persons. You can help them in their homework, share your knowledge and remember you are a very good cook. Use your culinary skills tactfully.

I hope these suggestions will boost your confidence and your next letter will include many stories of your new friends.

Yours truly

Question: More and more students choose to go to another country for their higher studies. Do you thing the benefit outweigh the problems associated with it?

Answer: Acquiring higher education in another country has become a a trend and some are the days when parents were afraid of sending their kids alone to another nation. Today, people think that developed countries offer more benefits to the learners of higher education should be completed there. Indeed, this has many advantages but a few disadvantages it offer cannot be neglected.
In most first world countries, curriculum is totally based on practical knowledge not solely developed around theoretical information. As in most underdeveloped countries or in developing countries like India and Pakistan, tutors test a pupil's bookish knowledge not the practical experience that is required actually in working sector. Another reason o moving to another country is, job opportunities which are available in some countries and in other, many experienced people do not have jobs.
Choice of country for doing higher education depends upon the economy of the nation as well. Higher economies give a sense of security to a person that's why people dream to get their masters degree from the USA and Canada. Not only it offers professional security but also gives an individual a chance to learn from others. They learn to share, co-operate, mix with people of other race an creed. This gives them a chance to enjoy different festivals like, a Punjabi in Canada celebrates 'Gurupurab' Sikh festival and Halloween , a Christian festival.
In the bright side of a lamp, its dull side cannot be ignored. A person who lives away from his family feels isolated and sometimes becomes a patient of depression and stress. But this problem can be easily resovled by becoming one of the native people, while in Rome, do as Romans do.
At the tip of iceberg, benefits and drawbacks are two facets of a thing. The few problems with higher education in another country cannot devalue its numerous benefits so learners should study in another countries to gain knowledge and to get acquainted with others' life style and culture.

Ielts writing task 2 Few people devote time to their hobbies

Question:- Few people devote time to their hobbies nowadays. Say why you think this is the case and what effects this has on the individuals and the society in general

Answer: In the yesteryear, people had some free time in their day to spend with kith and kin and to pursue their hobbies. But, to are so much engrossed in their work day that they do not have time to relax and involve in their hobbies. This new life style is not only due to this reason but because of numerous other factors that I will elaborate in the upcoming paragraphs along with its effects.

Folks of modern world are over ambitious. They want to have whole nine yards and for this they work at a stretch from dawn to dusk. They have replaced their leisure time with their work and money has become front burner for them. This is not because of workers attitude but also because of company policies as it takes two to tango. Companies want to be successful and to maximize profits, they overburden their employees and pressure them to work for longer hours. Finally, for many parents, education and hobbies cannot go hand in hand. As they think that education secures the future of their children so some restrict their kids from following their hobbies. Sometimes, the excessive homework does not allow pupils to indulge in some creative works.

Changing lifestyle always bring some positive and negative effects so as lack of hobbies has. Absent of hobbies restrict the growth of a person. As playing chess, a hobby, sharpens the mind and outdoor games facilitate the body movement and encourages the holistic development of a person. A society which has less number of hobbies enthusiasts will have monotonous environment, fatigued personalities and less creativity. As free time activities make an individual innovative, energetic an agile.

At the tip of iceberg, hobbies are the essential part of our life as these rejuvenates people. Though folks today are busy but they should not neglect and forget the role of hobbies in their life as hobbies can become profession and has power to make a person "God of cricket Sachin Tendulkar"
