Ielts writing task 2: People get information through news and paper but meanwhile are uncertain about the truth of these news

Question: Nowadays, people get information through news and papers but meanwhile are uncertain about the truth of these news. Should we believe the journalist? What qualities should be a good journalist or correspondent have?

Answer:

News help us to remain up-to-date with the world and these are received from various modes a few are television, radio and internet. In this technological era, a piece of information spreads like a wildfire that people have become skeptical, and this human nature is giving rise to a moot question of trusting the journalist or not.

A journalist who is responsible for showing the true picture of the society is not free from the blot. A news reader can be misguided by the false or exaggerated news given by a journalist. Moreover, in this materialistic era, people want the whole nine yards and this greed can be fulfilled only with money. Money which is given in excess to journalist who praise and show only the positive sides of a particular political party. Simply, they become puppets of the parties and try to create a white collar image of them. So, people should not blindly believe on the news but should analyse and understands news from different facets to extract the actual matter as today's journalist are famous for making a mountain out of a mole hill.

Journalism is not everyone's cup of tea. There are many challenges in this field. A person who wants to be a journalist needs to be brave to overcome these obstacles as people bribe them to change their news and to make them speakers of the party. A reporter should be unbiased to portray the actual picture of the person or the situation. People are introduced to different topics by the journalist so a journalist should be well versed with myriad topics and even if he does not know about something then he should have the curiosity to learn different things. Above all, command over language is needed as an orator who can convey properly can touch a millions of heart and make his point crystal clear in the receiver's mind.

Contemplating all the aforementioned points, I would like to say that journalist should work with dignity and be loyal to their profession as their news have a profound effect on people's mind and they are playing an important part in shaping the society we live in.

Tips: Journalism is the fourth pillar of the successful democracy. The other three being the legislature, executive and the judiciary.
A journalist, like the judge, like an umpire must be unbiased and totally impartial to any group.

Ielts general letter writing: Letter to neighbour

Question: Write a letter to your neighbor. In your letter:- Describe the problem - Say how long it has been a problem- Explain what action you want the neighbor to take.

Answer:

Dear Sir

I am writing you to complaint about the nuisance caused by your new paying guest.

Your last tenants were quiet persons but these new ones are notorious and are pranksters. Everyday, they find a new way to disturb the peace of society and this is happening from the day one of their shift. Last day, they crossed every limit and were shouting at night after getting drunk. Not only this, they threw their empty cans in our garden.

Sir, I would request you to look in this matter immediately as it is difficult to overlook their activities everyday. You can change your tenants or give them a strict warning that their next disturbing activity will leave them homeless.

Hope you will take action on it at the drop of the hat.

Your sincerely

Amanpreet

Dear Sir

I am really very pleased with your customer handling service and would like to share one incident when your employee helped a baffled and helpless person at the airport on the 15th of September.

My journey was from Canada to Amritsar with a stay at Dubai. Dubai being the popular with eye pleasing architecture attract millions of travelers. During my short stop there, I could not resist myself and was eager to explore the airport. I got so much mesmerized with the beauty that I forget to carry my handbag with me. My short memory created other trouble as I also forget terminal number and gate number at which I have to report.

This situation made me black and I was about to fade when one of your employee named Zain Ali held me and took me to emergency room. As, I was unable to conversate in Arabic, he found someone, who can speak Hindi and this helped me to describe my problem. Not only this, with his kind help, I was able to find my hand bag which had all the necessary documents that I required to board a plane.

 Sir, I would request you to appreciate and reward Mr. Zain Ali for his commitment towards his work and there by encouraging him to continue this type of work in future. Hope this will uplift the spirit of all your employee and company.

Yours sincerely

Writing task 2- An increase in price of junk food will reduce the number of obese people.

Question: Recent studies have shown that overweight people trend to eat junk food that are high in unhealthy fats. Some people argue that an increase in  price of such foods will serve as a deterrent and thus reduce the number of overweight people. Do you agree and disagree?

Answer:- 

In this modern and cut throat competitive world, people have altered themselves to work, round the clock. This new lifestyle has given rise to a number of health problems and amongst these obesity is considered to be the most fatal one. This is thought to be increasing due to consumption of fast food. So to hold the fist in this problem, rise in price is suggested. But I think, this is not the pragmatic solution due to a lot of reasons.

Firstly, the people who are habitual of eating fast food will not change their taste because old habits die hard. A person who has accustomed himself to a particular eating habit will not be able to resist himself as his body will demand these. Moreover, daily intakers will not care about the price because their taste and satisfaction matter a lot. This can be easily justified by taking an example of fuel price in India. Today,  a liter of petrol costs about Rs 90 but this deep hole in pockets is not bothering people as driving their own private vehicle has become their lifestyle and is considered no more a luxury but a need.

Further, it is scientifically proven that obesity is not because of fast food but can be caused by the genetic problems. As it is often observed that a kid of obese parents often overweight. Finally, these junk food restaurants are supporting millions of families because this industry has given work to myriad waiters, chefs and managers. Expensive food stuff will bring a darker era in this industry and will make many jobless.

At the tip of the iceberg, increase in the price of any commodity of a man is not the right solution. Increased rates of junk food will not stop people from purchasing these, but can create a rage in them against government as for them, it may be a restriction on their freedom right. Authorities need to promote healthy lifestyle in order to make people fit and fine.
