IELTS Writing Task 2 - Some people think that teenagers years are happiest time of most people's life

Some people think that teenagers years are happiest time of most people's life. Others think that adult life brings more happiness, in spite of great responsibilities. Discuss both the views and give your opinion.

Life is divided into three phases namely childhood, young age and old age./ Life is a long and beautiful journey from cradle to grave. Each and every phase of life has its own share of joys and sorrows. For one section of society, teenage is golden period of life but for others, the same applies to adult age. In this essay, I will shed light on both opinions along with my view.

Rolling the ball with the reasons behind teenagers' happiness. In teen years, children are free from the work responsibilities as for them only completing homework is a duty. Moreover, after school and homework, they have time to pursue their hobbies. Hobbies make a person happy by relaxing their mind. Further, child may not earn a single penny but his all desires are fulfilled in blink of an eye by his parents. So, in short, kids are prince and princess of their house  whose words are commands.

Moving to adult age, although in this age, people are working round the clock but their this work and hard core earned salary, make them independent to take decisions. The right to take decisions in life silently falls in their court  and this independence gives them joy, now they can decide their company, friends and partner. In adult age, a person settles and gets a spouse, his happiness doubles as it is known that happiness doubles when sharing and sorrows lessen. Above all, the new events like getting first salary, meeting life partner, becoming parent take them to cloud nine and give joy that cannot be expressed in words. 

Finally, I would like to draw the curtain with my views. Simply, for a person, it would be difficult to choose between arm and leg as both are imperative and has their own significance. Similarly, both the stages have unique place in a person's life. Deciding between this would be difficult,qs both are beautiful in their own ways.  Spring of life teaches many things while adult age gives chance to try those things. So, people should enjoy life to fullest life is like an ice cream, enjoy it before it melts.

IELTS Writing Task 1 Letter - You are unhappy about a plan to make your local airport bigger and increase number of flights

You are unhappy about a plan to make your local airport bigger and increase number of flights. You live near the airport. Write a letter to local newspaper. In your letter explain

- where do you live

- describe the problem

- give reasons why you do not want this development

Answer

Dear sir

I am writing this epistle in regards to the 'airport expansion' article published in your newspaper on May the 25th. The proposal to expand the airport and increase the flight will have adverse effect on people living in its vicinity.

My house is five minutes drive from the airport and this proximity will turn into bane after the proposal. Firstly, most flights means more noise. As take off and landing create a lot of annoying noise, it is difficult for a person to work peacefully and have a sound sleep at night. Moreover, many people living near the airport are already suffering from insomnia due to the low flying airplanes at night. 

Further, to expand it, more area is needed that directly points to the cutting of trees in the surrounding areas of the airport. This will decrease the area of children's park, it is also used by mature people for exercising and walking.

I strongly oppose this plan. I would appreciate if you could possibly write an article about this problem. It would be very much in public interest if the ministry of Aviation and tourism be made aware of public grievance that would be bound to face.

Yours sincerely

IELTS Writing Task 2 - Sports help to build peace in the world. Agree or disagree

Some people assert that sports help to a great extent to build peace in the world. Do you agree or disagree?

In the world, where hatred, terrorism and war have become rife, sports have emerged as a peacemaker as it spread the message of sportsmanship and brotherhood.

Sports are known to unite the world. In sports competition, people of distant race, caste, creed, beliefs and nationalities participate compete with each other, give rise to equality. This is commonly seen in the “ Olympics”, there people of various countries participate and face each other but in a friendly manner. Moreover, sportsmanship teaches them to live in harmony as they get to know about other people's behavior, language and culture. Prejudiced view for a section of society changes after knowing folks as it is better to meet people and then judge their opinion rather than simply drawing a conclusion.

To illustrate aforementioned view, an example of India and Pakistan is sufficient. World know they are die heart enemies of each other. But in cricket field, different picture is witnessed every time, a Pakistani was singing India's national anthem. Further, hatred doesn't prevail in the hearts of common man, it is all due to the politicians, who deceive others for their benefits. When, the sports lover visit other country for watching competition, they get to know about real picture of the country. Their illusion fades away and fill them with love for others.

All in all, sports inculcate the good qualities in the person and make them ambassador of peace who believes in humanity, unity, equality and brotherhood. Most healthy competitions should be organised to Foster these qualities in the world.

IELTS Writing Task 2 - Working from home benefit only the employee not the employers. Agree or Disagree

Many people work from home using modern technology. Some people think that only the workers benefits from this and not the employers. Do you agree or disagree?

Telecommuting is becoming popular these days mostly because of the modern gizmos. These gadgets find the new technology how made the earth a global village giving rise to easy communication and business deals. Today, many employees prefer to work from home and a section of society opine that this is beneficial for workers not the employers. But, this is benefiting both along with few drawbacks.

Rolling the ball with benefits to employees. An employee generally spend an hour or more in travelling to the office 9 to 10 hours in office. In this hustle, they somewhere overlook their personal life. Work from home gives them an opportunity to balance their personal and professional life. As the travelling time can be spent with family or in other social activities. Moreover, children get time of their busy and professional parents. This time brings a family close making them a close knitted family. Further, worker gets flexible working hours giving rise to stress free life. This leads to more productivity and healthy life. As an employee is working from home and conversating mostly with emails and calls, get confidence to talk with people face to face with lessen but this is not an acute problem. Regular in personal meetings in office help to cut this dis disadvantage.

Moving onto the advantages to employers. Pleasant working environment has become a demand of each worker. This means a hefty amount of money is to be spent on infrastructure. But, this work from home saves the expenditure of employers as they only need to provide equipments to employees not other facilities. In addition to this, employers can hire experienced professionals from around the globe experience would definitely bear fruitful results as different minds have different ideas to maximize production and increase profit. This policy can also give rise to miscommunication but for a strong and expert management, handling a large and diverse team is a cakewalk.

Contemplating the aforementioned views, I would like to say that telecommuting is advantageous for an employee and an employer. win-win situation give freedom and productivity to both as they get bit of both world, professional and personal.
