I've had this question at least twice, if not more, in my official exams:
Some people believe that women should play an equal role as men in a country's police force or military force, while others think that women are not suitable for these kinds of jobs.
Discuss both these views and give your opinion.

Health care should not be provided for free regardless of a person’s income. The health of a person is in their own hands and they should, therefore, be held accountable for that.

I’d like to end the day with a few of words of caution:
The more I see different IELTS content on Instagram, the more I believe that the so-called “techniques” suggested by some self-proclaimed experts should be taken with a grain of salt.
Let’s see if you can translate it into Uzbek.

The next episode of BM TALKS will premiere exactly at 6PM! This episode is special for several reasons:
1. It features Eldor’s first-ever public appearance! You’re in for a treat, as he is one of the key reasons I achieved a writing score of 8.5 and an overall score of 9.0.
2. 90% of the talk is in English.
3. The format is mostly conversational, unlike the interview format used in other episodes.

Day 17: MD or WebMD?
Sure, the ubiquity of Internet access in modern society has changed the way Americans seek out information, in general. But in the case of healthcare, the widespread online availability of medical information is both helpful and troubling.
#WritingQuestions
Nowadays, many people use the Internet to get medical advice instead of going to see a doctor. Why is this? Do you think it is a positive or negative development?

Let’s learn about MAID, or also known as, euthanasia.
Watch this YouTube video by Vox and we will be exploring this topic further with a well-crafted article as usual.
In 2016, a Supreme Court case in Canada removed the criminal penalties for doctors providing a patient with a medically assisted death. Since then, the country has been embroiled in a legal and ethical debate about where to draw the line on who qualifies for one.

Day 19: Merits of Meritocracy
In practice, of course, it is not that simple. Money hovers over the front door as well as the back. Measures of merit are hard to disentangle from economic advantage. Standardized tests such as the SAT purport to measure merit. In practice, however, SAT scores closely track family income. The richer a student’s family, the higher the score he or she is likely to receive.

To what extend do you agree or disagree with this view?

CEFR level: C1 (Advanced)
Definition: a further difficulty or annoyance, typically minor in itself, but coming on top of a series of difficulties, that makes the situation unbearable.
CALD definition: the last in a series of unpleasant events that finally makes you feel that you cannot continue to accept a bad situation
Example: “I was already working late every day this week, but having to come in on the weekend was _ _ _ ; I’m going to look for a new job.”
P.S. this idiom is part of a longer phrase
