β Q: Some people think that the best way to increase road safety is to increase the minimum legal age for driving cars or riding motorbikes. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
π‘ Answer:
Some individuals believe raising the minimum legal age for driving cars or riding motorbikes is the most effective method of increasing road safety. While I accept that this policy is good to some extent, I believe it is not the best because there are much better measures to reduce traffic accidents.
It might be a good idea to increase the minimum age required for driving because of some reasons. Firstly, since younger people are usually less mature and less responsible with their manners, they might not be aware of the importance of following the rules. Therefore, it is reasonable to ban them from travelling on the street to prevent them from breaking the law and causing accidents. Secondly, as older people are more experienced, they can know how to react quickly to handle dangerous situations on the road, while younger ones might not be able to. To illustrate, if the brakes of a car suddenly stop working, a young driver might panic, and accidents are more likely to occur.
However, I would argue that there are much better methods of ensuring road safety. The first one is to have stricter punishments for driving offenders. For example, people who break traffic rules should be required to pay huge fines or be banned permanently from commuting on the street. This makes commuters more likely to respect the law, and traffic accidents can be limited. Another solution is to encourage people to use public transport rather than private vehicles. This can be done by reducing the price and increasing the frequency of buses and tubes to make it more convenient for users.
In conclusion, I believe apart from increasing the legal age for driving, there are more effective ways to make sure that travelling on the street is safe for everyone.

After writing your conclusion, you might think that you have completed your essay. Wrong. Before you consider this a finished work, you must pay attention to all the small details.
Check the order of your paragraphs. Your strongest points should be the first and last paragraphs within the body, with the others falling in the middle. Also, make sure that your paragraph order makes sense. If your essay is describing a process, such as how to make a great chocolate cake, make sure that your paragraphs fall in the correct order.
Review the instructions for your essay, and review what you have written. Reread your paper and check to see if it makes sense. Make sure that sentence flow is smooth and add phrases to help connect thoughts or ideas. Check your essay for grammar and spelling mistakes.

You get more time to focus on individual words. When a text is short, you can devote more time to learning how every single word is used and what importance it has in the piece.
You can read a whole story in one sitting. Attention spans are very important for learning, and the ability to finish a story gives you more time to digest it. Short stories are designed to give you maximum information with minimal effort.
It is best for consistency. It is far easier to read one story every day than trying to read a big novel that never seems to end.
You can share them easily in a group. Since short stories can be read in a single setting, they are ideal for book clubs and learning circles. Most of the time these groups do not work because members have no time to read. Short stories are the perfect solution.
You can focus more on ideas and concepts. Language is less about words and more about the meaning behind them. If you spend all your time learning vocabulary and grammar, you will never be able to fluently speak a language because you will have little to talk about. These short stories give you the opportunity to understand big ideas in context.

βοΈ Chart
β Q: The flow chart below shows the procedures to get a driving license in US.
π‘ Answer:
The given diagram details the process of obtaining a driving license in the US.
In general, it can be seen that there are three tests that need to be passed in order to get a driving license, which are, an eyesight test, a written theoretical examination, and a practical driving examination.
The first thing one needs to do to get a driverβs license is to register in a driving license centre, and fill out the appropriate forms. After that, an eyesight test is required. If the applicant passes this test, he will carry on to the second stage.
After paying the required fees, applicants will take a written test and will have two extra chances to retake the test if they fail. Once the written exam is successfully passed, a practical road exam will be carried out. It is obligatory to pass both exams to get the driverβs license. However, if one fails the road examination, they can still get the license by paying the fees again and reattempting both tests.

Some opinion essay questions are written with the wording "Do the benefits outweigh the drawbacks?"
Sometimes in the introduction and conclusion, I see students using 'outweigh' both times to give their position. This is ok, especially if it's only once, but I think it would be good if we knew a few other ways to say x outweighs y.
Here are some options for 'benefits outweigh the drawbacks'
β The advantages are greater than the disadvantages
β It is better to x than y
β x is better than y
β give your position in your own way
Here are some examples in sentences.
People are moving to cities in greater numbers in recent times. Do the benefits outweigh the drawbacks?
In recent years, there has been an increase in the number of people moving from rural areas to cities. Although this change has some concerns, I believe it is better for people to live in cities.
In recent years, there has been an increase in the number of people moving from rural areas to cities. While this change undoubtedly has some positive aspects, I believe this is not a change for the better.
In recent years, there has been an increase in the number of people moving from rural areas to cities. Although this change has some concerns, I believe it is generally better for people to live in cities than in rural ares.
There you go guys, some options to allow you some flexibility to express yourselves. By the way, I would say that using the word 'outweigh' is probably a good option in the conclusion because it helps the examiner know that you definitely answered the question. I just think it is overkill to use this word in both the intro and conclusion.
Also, I just think in general we want to be better writers, so learning other natural ways to express ourselves is always a good thing.
Good luck to everyone doing their test.

β Q: Some people say that too much attention and too many resources are given in the protection of wild animals and birds. Do you agree or disagree about this opinion?
π‘ Answer:
The protection of wildlife has become a frequent subject of debate with strong arguments for and against. Personally, I believe that humans are paying too much attention and allocating too many resources to this issue, as will now be explained.
Firstly, if we allow any species to disappear, this is actually not a disaster. Some people may argue that the biology will be seriously affected if birds and wild animals are on the verge of extinction, but this is an exaggeration. Fossil evidence suggests that the mass disappearance of the dinosaur did not cause any harm to other species on the Earth but merely triggered the emergence of others such as the mammal. Therefore, we should not devote too much attention to the protection of wildlife.
Secondly, public money is limited. This means that the national budget should be allocated to more urgent issues rather than expending too much in the conservation of wild animals and birds. For example, more resources should be diverted to medical research to find out remedies for fatal diseases such as HIV and cancer, which may help to save thousands of lives in society.
Finally, the government can simply protect wildlife by continuing campaigns to raise public awareness of the protection of wildlife habitats, or impose stricter punishments on activities that may harm wild animals. Any individual who hunts wildlife for food or for pleasure should be given a heavy fine, and this may discourage them from threatening the life of wild animals.
In conclusion, while I do not refute the argument for the conservation of wildlife, I believe that it should attract less attention and fewer resources from the public.

So you want to score a band 8 on IELTS Writing?
Many IELTS test-takers spend a lot of time training to write top-notch essays. To achieve a desired score, they stuff their essays with uncommon vocabulary, overuse complicated grammar or write too many words. But are these means really necessary? The answer is NO.
There are a lot of much simpler writings that score 8.0 and higher! This is because you donβt need any special knowledge: the examiner will assess your writing, not your thoughts. Even simple but accurately expressed ideas score better than too complicated ones. To succeed in IELTS Writing, you need to
- be accurate
- write simple things well
Ridiculously, even well trained candidates often lose points on IELTS Writing because of making simple mistakes: from going off topic to writing too many words.
Weβve gathered top 10 IELTS Writing tips that will help you score band 8+ on IELTS Writing:
π’ . Read the question
Understanding what the question asks you to do is crucial for achieving a good score. That's why, always read your question thoroughly and cover all the points you're asked to write about.
π’ . Read what you have written
Go back and read the paragraph you have just written before you start the next one. You may think that this is a waste of time. If so, youβd be wrong. Itβs important to link your paragraphs together β what easier way to do that than just read what you have written?
π’ . Be clear
The practical advice here is to select your best idea and write about that. That means not writing everything you know β leave some ideas out. Donβt worry if it is not your best explanation, worry about whether it is your clearest explanation.

There's a California gold rush story that tells of two brothers who sold all they had and went prospecting for gold. They discovered a vein of the shining ore, staked a claim, and proceeded to get down to the serious business of getting the gold ore of the mine.
All went well at first, but then a strange thing happened. The vein of gold disappeared! They had come to the end of the rainbow, and the pot of gold was no longer there. The brothers continued to pick away, but without success. Finally, they gave up in disgust.

β Q: Some people say that music is a good way of bringing people of different cultures and ages together. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?
π‘ Answer:
It is often said that music has the power to unite and connect people, regardless of their cultural backgrounds or ages. I completely agree with this view, and will give my reasons below.
Music can certainly reach across cultural and national boundaries and bring people together. Perhaps the best example of this would be the Live Aid concerts that took place back in the 1980s, and which were broadcast to a global audience. Two live events were held simultaneously in the UK and the US, and the objective was to raise funds for famine relief in Ethiopia. The concerts were a huge success, both in terms of the number of people around the world who watched them and their impact on international public awareness of the famine. They demonstrated, I believe, that music truly is the planetβs global language.
Just as it transcends cultures, music also has the ability to connect people from different generations. Regardless of age, we can all enjoy a memorable melody, a strong rhythm or a beautiful singing voice, and the best songs seem to have the same magical effect on all of us. This would explain why televised music competitions, such as βThe X Factorβ or βThe Voiceβ, are such popular prime-time shows. These programmes attract incredibly broad audiences because singing and popular songs appeal to children, parents and grandparents alike. I would argue that no other form of entertainment can bring families together in this way.
In conclusion, I believe that music is unique in its capacity to create shared experiences between people, irrespective of culture and age.
