Summer vacation is exclusively for children's multi-faceted development and, therefore, there should not be any academic exercises during this period.
• How far do you agree or disagree with this view?
Of late some parents force their children to do academic activities during summer vacation. This, in my opinion, is really unfair. There are many arguments to prove that summer vacation is not for academics but for students’ holistic development.
Firstly, students who go through ten-month-long academics eagerly wait for their vacation to come by. They have great expectations and there are great many things to be done during this carefree life. Secondly, academics alone cannot make a student successful. All students have personal interests. Summer vacation gives them a chance to pursue such interests. Thirdly, socializing, taking part in physically and intellectually involving sports and games, visiting homes of friends’ and relatives and the like are possible during vacation.
Above all, vacation gives them opportunities to learn life skills like swimming, climbing trees, trekking and the list goes endless. When children have all these things in their agenda during vacation, is it fair to impose any academics, let it be of some future implication too, on them? It is unfair in many more counts. So it is better let them from doing any academic activities.
However, if students themselves are prepared enough to pursue some academic activities so that they could be much confident when then get graduated to a higher level, it is welcome and worth encouraging too. But there should not be any coercion of any kind. Concentration should be more on their many sided development than mere academics.
The above arguments are enough to support the view expressed. But there is room for academics only if children desire so. Here also I think it is better if parents encourage their children to engage themselves in non-academic pursuits.

Every child gets born with a potential that is enough to make him or her succeed in life. Though the fact remains so, great many children fail to make the best out of their life.
• Look at the major causes and effects of this disparity.
Every child is born with a potential or two that is/are enough to make him or her succeed in life. Unfortunately, today, many children fail due to several pressures. Anyway, if there is will, children themselves can pursue their ways themselves and succeed.
Let find out those major cause. The first thing is parental pressure. Today, for many nuclear parents their children are pawns in their hands, and the former has the last say in everything children do. This is the case with affluent parents. Secondly, it is poor socio economic condition that makes many potential children fail. For example, an exceptionally talented child of a poor family has to sacrifice his/her talents because there may be many other pressing things in their life. There are many other causes. Social divides like digital, gender, rural-urban, to mention a few, are reasons enough too.
Needless to say, this dichotomy is bound to have very severe effects. Firstly, it leads to loss of talents. For example, a talented poor child, if not fostered well, will fail to contribute to humanity. Secondly, when potential children fail to fetch what they deserve in life, they get frustrated. This leads to social disharmony. Thirdly, human resource is the greatest of resources which, unfortunately, is a perishable resource unless appropriately made use of in time. Needless to say, failing children are actually failing national assets.
Looking at the causes and effects, it is right to conclude that the need for making every child do well is the need of the hour. This is extremely important both for children and for the nation. A failure in this direction may be a dual tragedy. That is what I feel.

A tree found commonly in your state:
Two minutes’ exercise: Cue card
Well, my state is known for great green cover.
And it has great wealth of tree varieties, too
The one I would like to talk about is the most common coconut tree.
To begin with, this tree is so common in our state.
And our state is named after this tree.
That is, Keralam in Malayalam means the land of Kera trees.
Something, special about this tree, I think, is that it is ubiquitous.
There is no family in the countrysides without at least a coconut tree.
Coming to its other features, it is a tree of great significance.
Primarily, it is a tree of spiritual and cultural significance.
That is, coconut is seen as a sign of wealth and prosperity.
And people use it on all major occasions:
Like marriages, poojas, rituals and ceremonies.
Secondly, all the parts of this tree are useful someway.
Its trunk is so hard and lasting that people use it for furniture.
Its leaves are also useful. Plaited leaves are used for thatching roofs
And coconut kernel and oil products are widely used in Kerala dishes
And finally, its shell and husk are raw materials.
They are used for coir products and many artifacts.
All the other parts, say, its dry bunches,
its pods and leaf bones, to mention a few, are used as firewood.
Well, it would be unfair if I don’t mention about tender coconut.
It is a great health drink, which both the natives and tourists like alike.
Even doctors recommend it. It is a rejuvenating drink for patients.
Those who suffer from dehydration, diarrhoea etc get seedy recovery.
So this tree is socially, medically and spiritually significant.
That is all about it.
Take this as a token answer, and you may select your tree, Mango, jack tree, banyan, palm, rubber, teak, mahagony etc. and develop an answer in accordance with their significance. Please try to apply the frame of the above answer. Words, steps, personal phrases, divisions and conclusion. Good luck.

Since every mistake is taken as an opportunity to do better, some people believe that children should be given enough freedom to commit mistakes, whereas some others say they should be instructed to avoid mistakes as it enables them to be careful and conscious.
Essay 071
• What is your opinion on these two view points?
There are differing views on whether children be given enough freedom to commit mistakes or they should be encouraged to avoid mistakes. But it is a fact that committing mistakes is an opportunity that makes children do well. I think pressing children to avoid mistakes may hamper learning.
Not many would deny the fact that learning is a complex process involving a lot of exercises. One such exercise is doing and learning. For example, when children are given freedom to commit mistakes, while engaged in some learning activity, they are likely to feel at home and do err. When the teacher or the mentor highlights the mistake and rectifies them, the ward happens to get the gravity of the mistake s/he has done. It helps her/him correct it once and for all.
On the contrary, if we insist our children to avoid mistakes, what happens is that it hampers the learning process, because, children are free learners and it is their sense of freedom that makes them at ease. Still, wanting them not to commit mistakes is good to some extent because it makes children conscious of what they are doing. This conscious approach to learning process cuts down on the number of mistakes. However, forcing them to do things right all the time is not encouraging.
Looking at both the arguments, I am of the opinion that it is a good idea to let children commit mistakes. Trial and error method in learning is an excellent concept being promoted world over. Of course, if children could avoid mistakes all by themselves, it is not bad either.

Many people feel that development is likely to erode the cultural values of a place no matter where the development takes place.
Essay 020
• How far do you agree or disagree with this?
• Prove your points with examples taken from your life or surroundings.
Since change is natural and development is but change, the possibility for change in cultural values too is possible in today’s fast paced world. It is true to a great extent that, irrespective of place and time, development changes values.
To begin with, change is quiet human and it is humans’ inherent urge to change from what is today that has made them stand where they are standing now. Obviously, a change is not possible without touching the things around whether it is physical or cultural or even spiritual.
Let me cite an example to prove my point. In the past people attached a lot of sentiments with personal and family visits. People used to complain of if the frequency is far beyond their expectations. But now, thanks to development is communication and fast paced life, people are happy the way they are. No matter they meet face to face or visit each other’s family. It did have some cultural value, we cannot help it though.
However, there a few cultural values that resist change even if the force of development is much stronger. For example, many people are not ready to compromise on their personal values like truthfulness, helping mentality, family characteristics. But their number is negligibly small. Barring such a small lot, everything is influenced by development. Eroding social values is a bit disturbing though.
In short, it is right to conclude that development is bound to change established values greatly today. However, we cannot ignore the fact that human life per se has become much better. At least people have developed such a culture of change and development.

One of my close associates had sent this following topic and answer to me for evaluation: It is evaluated, commented upon, and the corrected version is loaded for readers. Jaypee has no claim over the essay, but the valuation process is his'.
Writing Task 2
You should spend about 40 minutes on this task.
Write about the following topic:
In a recent survey conducted in this country, it was found that up to 20% of twelve year-olds in some schools were showing early signs of nicotine addiction.
In the eighteen to twenty year age bracket the percentage was as high as 70%. A large contributing factor to this high level of addiction is attributed to the uncensored TV advertising of cigarettes. For this reason all cigarette advertising should be banned.
Discuss.
Write at least 250 words.
Task 2 Model Answer
The issue of cigarette advertising is an important one, especially in this country where so many young adolescents smoke. One of the main causes of this problem is peer pressure. Another cause is advertising, especially TV advertising.
(This could have been the second paragraph: in the original these two were together)
Smoking, as we all know, leads to a number of health problems such as cancer and heart disease. Many people think that cigarette advertising should not be banned since this would limit our free choice in this matter. However, there is growing evidence that this serious problem is getting out of control. Let us examine the facts more closely.
The most important reason why cigarette advertising should be banned is that cigarette is bad for our health. Smoking causes lung cancer and heart disease. Many people also suffer from slow and painful death from a disease called emphysema.
Another important reason why cigarette advertising should be banned is that it costs the tax payer money. People who become sick from smoking have to be cared for in expensive hospitals. In addition, their deaths often result in financial problem for their families.
Finally cigarette smoking may lead to another problem namely drug addiction. Although there is not conclusive evidence that this often happens, many experts in this area feel that there is a connection between the two.
Perhaps a solution to this problem is the education of young children concerning the dangers of taking up this habit. Also a heavy tax could be placed on cigarettes so that youngsters would not be able to afford them. In any case, it seems beyond any reasonable doubt that cigarette advertising should be banned.
Comments on evaluation:
1. Very good language which is worth fetching above 7 band.
2. Unusually long introduction running nearly upto 100 words
3. The issue is this: A large contributing factor to this high level of addiction is attributed to the uncensored TV advertising: so there needs banning. Here is a slight failure with regard to task fulfillment in the sense that the writer seems to have ignored the fact that it is all about uncensored TV commercials on cigars.
4. Fair word length of 265 words
5. Excellent cohesion and coherence
6. Brilliant vocabulary
7. The question is cigar ads should be banned on the basis of the findings that these ads add to woes of addition found among youngsters. That part is taken as something like: what are the arguments that make banning necessary. These two are different.
8. However, the language is strong enough to leave a lasting impression till the end of the essay making the examiner generously offer a score above 7, if not still higher.

Surveys reveal that up-to 20% of 12 year olds in some schools are showing signs of nicotine addiction. In the 18-20 year bracket, the percentage is as high as 70. A large contributing factor to this high level of addiction is the uncensored TV advertising of cigarettes. For this reason, all cigarette advertising should be banned. Discuss.
It is a known fact that addition to nicotine is highly rampant among younger age groups. This could be attributed to many factors. Television advertising on cigarettes, in my opinion, is just one of those factors. Therefore, banning such advertising would not have the desired effect. 45
To begin with, advertising as such is a great force to reckon with when it comes to influencing people, especially youngsters. This does not mean that youngsters pick up bad habits like smoking directly from TV advertising. Rather, there are innumerable other agents that are much more powerful than TV advertising: the pressures growing up, temptations from smoking parents and extreme availability of tobacco products, to mention a few. 65
For example, smoking is eulogized in the movies, and the heroes and villains of new age films are powerful enough to make our young children feel that it is something to be “smoking”. The macho impact of smoking gets reinforced more by such instruments of entertainment than by mere advertising. TV adverting is a flashy thing that comes and goes unlike films. So banning it is not going to make any difference. 70
However, it is premature to ignore the fact that uncensored adverting promoting cigarettes does influence children, though the extent of such impacts is much lesser than what other forces are able to make. For example, constant company of smokers, the urge to test and taste something adventurous, the false notion that smoking alleviates tension and the like are real compulsions. 60
In short, the discussion makes me conclude that nicotine addition seen among younger age groups is contributed more by several other external influences than by advertising on cigarettes per se. However, banning TV commercials on cigarettes is not bad either for the general good of humanity. 45

GRAPH ON THE POPULARITY OF MODES OF TRAVEL TO AND FROM WORK
The graph breaks up data on different modes of transport people of a European city used to travel to and from work in three periods, 1960, 1980 and 2000.
To begin with, in 1960, 20% people traveled by bus. This figure went above 25% in 1980. But, when it was 2000, the percentage came close to 15%. When it comes to car users, in 1960, hardly seven percent people used it. In 1980, it showed more than three times increase, 25%, and in 2000 it went past 35%, recording a seven fold rise.
Coming to bike, its popularity declined over the years. When more than 25% people biked to work in 1960, the corresponding figure for 1980 was 20%. The biggest fall was recorded in the year 2000; hardly seven percent. The percentage of those who walked stood at 35% in 1960. In the following two periods, it stood slightly above 15% and below 10% respectively, a decline more than three times.
In short, bus had been very popular in all three periods whereas car’s polarity kept on increasing. But walking and biking turned unpopular over time.

Speak about a skill you wished to learn
• What that was
• When you wanted to learn
• Why you failed to learn it
Well, we all need to horn some skills in our life.
Some are able to master all the skills they wish to learn.
Some others fail in some.
The same, way I too wished to learn a skill.
It was driving.
And I wanted to learn it while I was doing my higher education.
And I had even made arrangements with a driving school.
And as per the arrangement, I was supposed to undergo road training for 30 days, and my master wanted me to be ready in the early morning, at 6.00 every day.
Unfortunately, that was not the right time for me, and the school was not able to give me a suitable time either.
Somehow I attended a few days’ classes.
And after a few days, I turned irregular, and it went on for a long time, and finally, I was forced to quit that effort midway through.
And now, at times, I feel that I had made a big mistake.
Now we have a car, and my brother and father drive it. But sadly enough, my liking for driving is still there, it gets intense whenever I see them drive.
Sadly enough, now I find it more difficult to go for driving class than it was before when I went attending, and later abandoned. 2 mnts.

Sadly enough, now I find it more difficult to go for driving class than it was before when I went attending, and later abandoned. 2 mnts.

GRAPH ON THE POPULARITY OF MODES OF TRAVEL TO AND FROM WORK
The graph breaks up data on different modes of transport people of a European city used to travel to and from work in three periods, 1960, 1980 and 2000.
To begin with, in 1960, 20% people traveled by bus. This figure went above 25% in 1980. But, when it was 2000, the percentage came close to 15%. When it comes to car users, in 1960, hardly seven percent people used it. In 1980, it showed more than three times increase, 25%, and in 2000 it went past 35%, recording a seven fold rise.
Coming to bike, its popularity declined over the years. When more than 25% people biked to work in 1960, the corresponding figure for 1980 was 20%. The biggest fall was recorded in the year 2000; hardly seven percent. The percentage of those who walked stood at 35% in 1960. In the following two periods, it stood slightly above 15% and below 10% respectively, a decline more than three times.
In short, bus had been very popular in all three periods whereas car’s polarity kept on increasing. But walking and biking turned unpopular over time.

Ecological benefit is taken by ecologists as a viable option to maintain green cover. But there is an argument that this will halt growth as the benefits offered may not be at par with the production, if the land is used differently.
Essay 073
• Discuss both the views and say what you feel about the concept.
• Ecological benefit: an allowance paid to those landowners who have some measures of green cover and are ready to keep it in tact for the well-being of the planet.
Speedy carbon recycling is the need of the hour, and ecologists find ecological benefit as a feasible option. But the concern that it would slow down growth is not unfounded. I feel that ecological benefit is to be promoted by all means.
It is the talk of the world that our Planet needs to be protected from the perils of carbon. Since green cover is the only solution, ecologists are of the view that the existing green cover is not enough to meet the challenges. Naturally, there is need for individual participation. This, in turn, needs government support. If governments can meet the expectations of people, who have their own green cover, people would keep it for the well being of the world. So offering decent ecological benefits to individuals would go a long way in making the world a healthier place to be in.
However, mere green cover maintenance wouldn’t meet the needs of the world population. The concern that it would slowdown growth needs to be address by alternatives. Today, humans are much better placed with efficient technologies to be applied in agriculture to augment production, and there are research and development options to meet the rising needs of man and, finally, humans themselves can control population. This will keep his needs controlled, and the Planet may be at ease to keep the population supplied with enough resources.
Looking at both the views, it is right to conclude that future of the Planet lies in the hands of every individual, and uniform participation of individuals alone would make a difference in carbon management. No wonder, ecological benefit sounds great.

Vote share of CPI, CPI-M and INC
The line graph presents data on the share of votes three major political parties, CPI, CPI-M and INC, had in the elections held between 1977 and 2004.
In 1977, CPI had 10.38 votes, but it came down to 6.52 in the following election. It came still down to 6.21 in 1989. In the following elections till 2004 the party’s share of votes stood between 8.12 and 7.89.
If we compare these figures with that of CPI-M, it had nearly two times more votes in 1977, 20.33, but in the following year, it recorded a low, taking it to 19.09. The following elections recorded a higher percentage, elevating it to 22.27 and 22.28 in 1984 and 1989. In the following three elections, the percentages hovered between 20.72 and 21.00. It recorded a huge increase in 1999 and 2004, taking it to 31.51.
When it comes to INC, it had 29.13% votes in 1977. In the following election, it suffered nearly 3% drop. Two elections followed recorded its all time high percentage, 41.71. In the elections of 1991,1996 1998 and 1999, its percentage remained between 38.78 and 39.35. But in 2004 it had a steep fall, from 39.35 to 32.11, the biggest fall ever.
It is obvious that CPI did not have any major increase or decrease over the years, but the other two had remarkable variations in their respective shares.

Since being connected to the rest of the world is much more important today than it was before, many people feel that school children should be permitted to keep mobile phones while they are at school.
Argue for and against this statement.
There is heated discussion on whether children be allowed to carry mobiles when they are at school or not. If we look at this argument from an objective angle, we may be able to find several positive and negative aspects to the same.
Arguing for it, even a cursory look may reveal that sporting a mobile is a good idea because, today, children, the most vulnerable section, need to stay connected with the rest of the world, especially with their near and dear ones. A deeper analysis would again prove that being connected offers children many advantages by way of security, navigating while traveling, gathering information, and being networking. Since we are living in a world of revolutionary changes in the field of communication, it will be unfair of us, if we keep our children aloof.
On the other hand, this idea entails some serious practical difficulties. First of all, mobiles offer children many temptations to get influenced, mostly negatively. Children being credulous and vulnerable, mobiles may take children to wrong ways and the consequence may me very serious. Secondly, classrooms and school atmosphere are meant primarily for learning, and the need for being connected can be set aside. Finally, mobile phones cause some health risks and children, being exposed to the lures of mobiles, may overuse the same. So it is better students stay off their mobiles for a while.
In short, ‘mobile phones at school’ is a controversial issue worth debating. However, if children are disciplined enough to manage it for their good, it is fine. If it is the other way round, we better not allow them to be connected, for school hours, at least.

Some people argue that the business of running a nation needs to be in the hands of emerging young leaders, while others are of opinion that it should be done by senior leaders.
Which argument do you endorse, and state why?
It is generally accepted that running a nation is a serious business, and there is controversy on whether it should be done by young leaders or it is the job of senior leaders. I for one am of opinion that it should be done by the young.
There are points to establish the fact that it is a good idea to give the reins of the nation to the hands of young leaders. The primary argument is that young leaders have great vision and spirit to take the nation forward. Secondly, these leaders will take great pride in their being what they are, and they would do their best to the welfare of the nation. Thirdly, younger leaders are less prone to corruption and similar asocial activities than the old ones whose aim is to be in the seats of power somehow.
On the other hand, if a nation continues to be run by sexagenarian and octogenarian, there is going to be slow and passive functioning and poor participation. As they are too old, an emerging nation may not be able to cope with their conventional style of functioning. Besides these, a good number of old leaders are reported to be corrupt and they hardly understand the need for change. They want to be power dealers, not leaders. This situation can easily be averted if youngsters take up the reins of power.
The above arguments make it clear that, in the present scenario, it is wise idea to let the emerging young leaders take the nation forward, and of course we can make use of the elder leaders’ expertise for many other nation building exercises.

A machine that was developed lately
What it is
When it was developed
How it works and helps man
Well, our times have a seen a lot developments
And I would like to talk about a new medical machine
Developed recently, and it is going to be a great help to man.
The machine is called ultra sound signal chain
Which, the developers say, would help doctors and patients alike.
It’s the latest development in medical care, and
The developers Frost and Sullivan says that this machine
Can be commercially developed within a few months
When produced commercially, this machine will be small
Enough to be made portable, and it is designed to
Fit in ICUs, ambulances and similar mobile triage situations.
When it comes to its medial application
It works much more efficiently than any other ultra sound based
Diagnosing device. It is very simple, and almost sound proof and
It works on a new microchip which functions like a chain does,
Identifying ultrasounds one after the other and ending up with the
Last possible detection; that is even the indecipherable sound beats
This is best suited for people
who are suffering from age related ailments.
I think this chip-supported machine will revolutionize
The way geriatric care works these days
As our century is bound to look after greater number of
Aged people than it was before, this is medical machine
Will give the aged population a little relief.
Yes, this is a great development, that is all about it sir.

A piece of jewelry, your favourite jewelry
• What, and where you got it from
• How it looks like
• And why you like it
Well, I like jewelry, and like any one else,
I have my own favourite jewelry, too.
It is a bangle-cum wristwatch.
Actually it is a gift.
And it was presented to me by my father
On my graduation day.
As I said earlier it is a two in one piece.
It primarily looks like a bangle,
But on closer look one can see a small case
which is oval in shape, and that case carries
a cute sparkling dial in it.
It looks like a human eye, and the inside of which is extremely beautiful with its time indicators, sparkling as they are of stone.
Something interesting about this particular watch is that it makes a beep every hour.
And my reasons for liking are many.
Firstly, it is a present from my father.
Secondly, it reminds me of my graduation day.
And thirdly, it is really precious cost-wise and other wise. Well, what what else is there about it?
Yeah, yes, it can be opended and closed, in the sense that I don’t have to push it in, rather I can open it and close it on my wrist
Yes, that is all about my favourite piece of jewelry.

Your favourite swimming pool
Where it is
How often you go there
Why you like it
Swimming pool? Well, these days it is hard to find swimming pools in our place. It is now mostly found in hotels and tourist or holiday destinations.
However, I happened to enjoy the convenience of a swimming pool some time back. It is part of famous water theme park in our state.
And I visited this place as part of a tour programme.
It happened last year, and we, a group of friends visited this theme park called Vega land. It s some 75 kms off our place, and we were traveling by a mini bus.
Since, it is a water theme park there are many water related activities and adventures. One of such experiences is the swimming experience we had at that location.
Actually, it is big pool with the sparkling water and clean and secure surroundings.
What I like most is its conveniences like security arrangements,
like floats and airbags meant for children, and those who are not good at swimming.
There are seating arrangements, and they provide some umbrellas and sun beds for those who need them for relaxation after a swim.
Apart from all there, there is separate section with support facilities for males and females, like change room, rest room and make up rooms.
And finally, I need to add that water in this swimming pool is periodically purified. It is done at regular intervals and it is an automatic process. So we can be sure of cleanliness and be on guard against water-borne diseases.
That is all about the swimming pool I like most.

An artwork you liked
What
When
Who you liked it
Well, it is really interesting to appreciate artworks.
Recently, I happened to visit an art exhibition
Hosted by a group of local artists in my place.
There were a lot of paintings, drawings, applied art forms and so on
Among them I got hooked to an artwork done by one Mr. Warrior
I do not know much of his whereabouts.
What I liked most is the way he presents his thought
Actually it was a modern art form in which he was trying to
Highlight some social issues like child abuse, female feuticide
Aggression against women and children.
It was oil on canvass, and the work was so attractive in the sense that
Ordinary folk themselves could understand the message
It was an blend of thought, creativity and imagination
And the colour combination he used looked really interesting
That he was selecting hard colours and strong strokes to represent
Ideas that are really hard pressing and that need immediate attention
In the bottom of the canvas, there was a message
Running into only four words.
“The real is not”
what I understood is this,
things we see around us
are not actual, and we do not see now much of
what is happening around.
Frankly, speaking this artwork made me think
I knew that there are so many evils working around us.
And, yes, I liked it very much.

• Do you think the first opinion has got some relevance?
• How far is it right to say that being online is inevitable for children?
The Net is here to stay and not many can do without it. As a matter of fact, the rising internet time found among young children leaves a little room for worry. However, the fact remains that it has become part of their life in more ways than one.
When it comes to the concerns, it is right to say that there are some pitfalls. Children are children and they are prone to influences of all types. Naturally, the Net, being a virtual platform that remains spread across the world, poorly informed and misguided children may fall prey to many unhealthy practices. For example, community cites like Facebook, Tweeter and Blogs are useful only if they are wisely managed. Else, children may get trapped in cyber based snares and their associated criminal, asocial behaviours. There is a little danger, of course.
All the dangers notwithstanding, modern children cannot keep themselves off the possibilities of the Net. Inquisitive and enterprising little kids can reap great benefits out of the borderless possibilities out of the Internet. This is more so when it is juxtaposed to today’s fast changing academic ambience. Here every child is expected to find material and information to meet their specific academic requirements and personal expectations. For example, today’s curriculum is more activity and research oriented than text-based or teacher-centered. Here the Internet can do children great favours.
In short, what I feel is that Internet-based problems and prospects for children are just relative. So it is difficult to say that it is all the way harmful for all children or it is equally useful for all. It depends on how children are guided to the Net. Better parenting needs to make the Internet child-safe.

Six task two questions and their possible introductions: right introduction is the first step to a better score.
1. It is argued that right to employment is a fundamental right and, if a State fails to engage its educated and productive manpower in some worthwhile income generating mode, it may be deemed as a case of violation of human rights.
Essay 001
• Argue for and against this view.
The argument that right to employment is a fundamental right is well founded because the educated are the ones who keep the nation growing. So their employment is the responsibility of the State. However, opinions differ when we take it as a violation of rights if the state fails in it.
2. Promoting and protecting the health of women is of greater importance in terms of social welfare not only for the health of present generation but also for all the generations to come.
Essay 009
• Substantiate this argument with evidence to support it.
• How can we promote and protect the health of women?
Social welfare involves several factors, and most important one among them is the health status of people. In this respect, ensuring women’s health is more important than anything else. This is for today and for tomorrow, too. Of course, there are ways to achieve this goal.
3. While conventional games were physically, socially and intellectually charging, new generation games are found to be the other way round; making participants passive and enervating.
Essay 014
• To what extent do you agree or disagree with this view?
Games of olden times had many dimensions; social, physical and so on. Such games, naturally, fostered many faculties in several different ways. However, what we have today in the name of games, to a greater extent, are not so involving as to make the participants any better.
4. Many people feel that development is likely to erode the cultural values of a place no matter where the development takes place.
Essay 020
• How far do you agree or disagree with this?
• Prove your points with examples taken from your life or surroundings.
Since change is natural and development is but change, the possibility for change in cultural values too is possible in today’s fast paced world. It is true to a great extent that, irrespective of place and time, development changes values.

6. Better teacher-student understanding and student-friendly academic ambience will be able to remove corporal punishment from schools for ever.
Essay 025
• How far do you agree or disagree with this?
There is saying: “spare the rode and spoil the child”. But studies show that sparing the rod may save a child, not spoil one. Since this finding goes exactly in line with the idea that teacher-student-friendly academic milieu will spare the rod for ever, I for one stand for such a student-friendly school.

Since employees of an organization / are of heterogeneous (different) nature / in terms of their backgrounds, attitudes and behaviours, / it is of no use to apply / a defined set of rules and regulations / which, in some people’s opinion, / all the employees may not be able to abide by.
Argue for and against this view.
A general code of conduct is followed in almost all organizations. But, looking at the workforce mix, some people support this uniform set of rules and regulations, and there are opposing views as well. This essay tries to see both.
As a matter of fact, no organization can expect its workers to be obeying alike, behaving alike and having similar attitudes. People are different in more ways than one. In such a diverse employment platform, applying a uniform code of conduct may not be comfortable for all. For example; it is expected of all employees to be sticking to certain common rules and regulations. These conditions may be acceptable for all. But this is not possible all the time, especially when individuals of different nature happen to have trying times in their personal or family life when they may have to forego company rules.
That everyone is different, however, does not make a uniform set of rules and regulations any irrelevant. This is extremely important in the sense that organization is group of people headed by an investor whose aim is to make it run smoothly. This trouble-free running does demand a set of rules and regulations. For example, conditions like reporting in time, being responsible, respecting the hierarchy, reporting absence in advance and the like are very much important. Here there is no room for the idea, “I am different, and I cannot follow all the rules like others do”. There needs a common set of terms and conditions for the common good of all.
In short, both the arguments have their own takers. But, the fact is that an organization is a place where people of diverse nature get together for a common cause. In such a place personal differences, I feel, should take a back seat.

There is a growing tendency among poor nations to allow foreign universities to provide education by establishing the latter’s own academic institutions inside the country. This development is both advantageous and disadvantageous.
• Try to find out whether its advantages can outweigh its disadvantages.
Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) is increasingly being promoted by poor nations. As a result, many foreign universities are allowed to provide education directly to the growing economies. This is both advantageous and disadvantageous.
Let me identify the major advantages. The first thing is that it makes global education infrastructure local. As a result, people of developing economies can access world-class education without much effort. Secondly, the presence of foreign universities may encourage competition and, thereby, national universities will also go higher in quality standards. And thirdly, overseas education service providers in a nation gives a little fillip to overall academic infrastructure. This may ensure better Supply Chain Management (SCM) in education.
Moving on to the seamy side of this development, there are quiet a few things. The primary problem is that these universities are not going to provide education in the grassroots levels. This is followed by another pitfall that these education providers invest hugely and they expect great returns. Naturally, the fee structure will be unaffordable to the majority. Obviously, the democratic nature of education will get undermined.
Besides all these, there is yet another danger of over concentration on specialization in education. This makes the elites of developing nations reap the benefits leading to two types of educated workforce. And finally, to cap it all, there is a danger of manpower loss as well. People with the extra edge of foreign university education may go for greener pastures outside their nations. This is a national loss in many counts.
In short, allowing foreign universities to operate in developing nations is good to some extent. However, the above findings are enough to prove that its advantages in no way outweigh its disadvantages. There is great imbalance.

There is a growing tendency among poor nations to allow foreign universities to provide education by establishing the latter’s own academic institutions inside the country. This development is both advantageous and disadvantageous.
• Try to find out whether its advantages can outweigh its disadvantages.
2.
Foreign universities, that provide education directly to poor nations’ premises, have huge fee structures, and this spiraling cost of education is justified by them claiming that quality education comes for a price.
• How justifiable is such a claim in your opinion?

How far do you agree or disagree with this argument?
Today, making all the employees follow a set of rules and regulations is challenging task indeed. However, as workers are different in nature, I think it is virtually impossible for a company to formulate different set of rules for different types of workers.
My one and only argument against the view expressed is that no company can have a smooth run with a workforce which is not governed by a set of rules. This is one of the basic requirements that make an organization really organized. For example, conditions like reporting in time, meeting deadlines, respecting the hierarchy, reporting absence in advance, safeguarding the interests of the organization and the like are for all the staff. On the other hand, if some of the employees fail to abide by all or any one of these common rules and regulations, it will be impossible to keep the show going smooth.
All the need for a set of rules notwithstanding, there is a little room for the thought that people are different in several different ways. For example, educational qualification, the type of family they belong to, the pressures of life people have, personality traits, attitude behaviour and so goes the list endlessly. As a matter of fact, this difference raises a few simple questions. Is working environment the right place for one to be different? No. Is it not a place where people of different nature get together for a common cause? Yes, it is, in many ways, I would say.
The above inferences make me stand against the view that there is no need for a uniform rules and regulations for all. Employees are different, and any one can very well differ, too, but it should not be at the cost of the organization itself.

Free movement of market, men and material across the world is taken as an opportunity by some people, but some others are of the opinion that it has made the world suffer from countless problems.
Essay 041
• How genuine are these views in your opinion?
Borderless movement is the order of the day and the same is going to stay, too. Naturally, there are differing views on its merits and demerits. What I feel is that it is more an opportunity than a problem. I can prove it, too.
Let me explain what all opportunities such a movement offers people. Firstly, it is market interplay. Nations, both rich are poor, interact and benefit each other by way of employment, tax and market penetration. Secondly, it is the movement of human resources. Human resource is a perishable one, but today there are opportunities across the world to make better use of one’s potentials for the welfare of the whole world. Being able to use one’s intellectual and physical strengths is much better than not using or under-using them. Thirdly, a free world order makes developments faster, so are the socio-economic conditions of the world.
However, all is not well with this all-encompassing world order. There is rich-poor divide getting widened thanks to movement of resources to more productive lands. Secondly, poor nations become unattractive even to their population due to the greener pastures offered by the world outside. Thirdly, there are cultural and traditional values that get deteriorated, and some of them even get extinct too. However, the fact remains that these are just the aftermaths of changes and influences.
In short, since this changed order is bound to be here for long, and there is no scope for any U turn, it is a good idea to identify the possibilities of it and try our best to manage the difficulties. Humans are intelligent enough to do so. 265 words Ajaypeesdoc

Space scientists around the world are exploring the possibilities of space tourism on a large scale as there are many takers for the same.
Essay 068
• Do you think it is a good idea to explore space for tourism?
• What disadvantages does such a move entail?
In this world of innovations and developments, space technology is advancing faster, and people are fascinated by this novel concept and its commercial possibilities in future. Though it is an interesting and trendsetting idea, its negative aspects cannot simply be ruled out.
If a concept like space tourism becomes real, it will be one of the huge achievements for humans. Touring through the space will offer chances to experience adventures appreciate the mystery and see the unseen and it would satisfy man’s long-cherished ambition. So it is clear that there are a lot of takers for this tourism, and it can be one of best platforms to make money from the otherwise useless outer space. And finally, those nations that achieve this technological fiat will surely enjoy international superiority.
Barring these brighter sides of this innovative concept, this has its own darker sides as well. The most prominent one is that this project requires huge investments by way of developing space vehicles, training of personnel; making space stations for stay etc. Another point is that it is very risky because the chances of success are equal to that of failures. Therefore, it will be a life and death proposition. In addition to all these, it may not be an accessible concept for the not-so-well off as it is highly expensive.
Thus, from the above inferences, it can be concluded that space tourism has equally powerful positive and negative aspects, but it does not seem to be bothering the negligibly small minority of the world that awaits it to become real.

Foreign exchange earnings for Egypt
The two charts break up data on foreign exchange earnings of Egypt in 2002, and income from tourism for the years from 1982-2003.
The pie chart reveals that tourism gave Egypt the highest foreign exchange earning in 2002, 26% followed by industry with 21%. When workers’ remittance amounted from 21%, Agriculture brought in ten times less than that with 2%. Finally, Petroleum and Suez Canal managed to garner 14%, 13% each.
The bar chart on revenue from tourism shows an upward spiral from 1982 to 2000. It started off with 0.3 billion US Dollars in 1982 and it kept on increasing, and after 11 years, in 1993, it rose to 1.9 billion. There was a remarkable increase in the 1995-1997 period. It shot up to 2.9 from 2.2 billion. The year 2000 recorded the highest growth, from 2.9 to 4.3 billion. However, the two periods that followed had same figures: 3.8 billion each. But 2003 had the biggest fall; from 3.8 to two billion US Dollars.
It is clear that in the 80s and 90s the growth was slower but steady, but in 2000 onwards the figures were rather stable barring 2003.

At a time when the need for wood as raw material for domestic and industrial purposes is increasing alarmingly, some people feel that promoting plastic as alternative to wood is a feasible idea.
Essay 018
• How good or bad is this idea in your opinion?
The need for wood as a raw material is high. However, the importance trees cannot be overlooked either in these carbon intensive days. In such a scenario, I think, it is a good idea to promote quality plastic, of course with certain conditions.
To begin with, quality plastic is highly durable, recyclable, cost-effective and easily manageable. For example, furnishing and fittings made of plastic last for a life time, and plastic saves a lot of time, energy and money by way of mass manufacturing, easy movement and cheaper price.
Another point is that, if it is accepted world over, industrial felling can be reduced greatly and the Planet will be able to breathe easy by way of greater green cover, carbon recycling and falling mercury levels. For example, green cover loss is caused more by industrial felling than by development. If this could be minimized, planet would be a better place to be in.
However, we need to put forth some conditions if plastic is to replace wood. Firstly, I think, it is mandatory for all nations that intend to promote plastic to have permanent recycling system in place. Secondly, there should not be any compromise on the provision that only durable, recyclable products are made. And, finally, there needs to be stringent laws governing quality standards.
It may be concluded that there is not going to be any fall in man’s need for raw materials. But the need for keeping trees is higher too. In such a state of affairs, plastic, it is proved, can do great service to mankind, if wisely managed.

Though sportspersons do not seem to be doing much to the general well being of the public, they are given enormous benefits and rewards upon achievements.
• How right it is to say that sports icon don’t do much to public?
• How far do you endorse the rewards and honours they receive?
I do not need to think twice to say it is premature to claim that sports persons do not do much to public. They do much more than anyone else, and the rewards and honours they come to experience are what they very much deserve.
Let me prove that sports persons do much to public. A sports successful sports icon is one who works as the ambassador of a nation, torch bearer for the younger generation and, above all, the flag carrier of the nation. As we all know, sports is a huge industry which promotes allied trades and commerce, strengthens international relations and even acts as catalysts that mend long broken diplomatic relations.
Besides all these, it is right to say that sports persons are able to transform people and influence their attitudes to social and national causes. As a result, people look at them with great expectations and they in turn live up-to the expectations of the public. Are they not doing anything to the public? They are.
By the way, how are the public and nation going to reward them for all these services? Sports titles, honourary positions, degrees, entitlements and above all huge monetary rewards are a few tokens that make sportsperson motivated. For example, some governments offer monetary rewards, some universities honour them with doctorates and some institutions appoint sports icons as their ambassadors of social cause and national causes. Needless to say, it is all worth endorsing.
In short, sportspersons are flag carriers of a nation, and they do much to people directly and indirectly. But, for the ordinary public, their service may not be that visible. And the honours and rewards they enjoy, therefore, are much deserving as well. 270 words Ajaypeesdoc

Some people say that it is a good idea to make periodic medical check ups compulsory for all adults so that the health status of a state can be better kept, whereas some others say maintaining health status is more personal than institutional.
• Look at both the views say what you feel about it?
It is a fact that health status involves several factors. Periodic medical check up is one of them. However, coming to compulsory medical check up, what is I is feel that keeping health status is more a personal responsibility than institutional.
Let me prove that compulsory medical check for adults cannot do much to the general health status of a populace. Undergoing medical check ups is one thing and going through a medical regime subsequent to a check is something different. In a national perspective, we cannot expect the whole adult population to be strictly following what ever is medically advised. Social status, per capita income, gender difference, nature of employment, to mention a few, of people may vary and not many can stick to the instructions given after every check up.
On the other hand, if people take it as a point that being healthy is something great and, thereby, able to understand that prevention is better than cure; they will be able to keep their health status all by themselves. For example, informed people will eat right, work out well, stay away from hazardous habits, go for periodic check ups and identify health risks in time, and they will invite medication whenever needed. This will lead to better health status, of course. So health status is more personal than institutional in many more ways than one.
Therefore, looking at both the views, I find it right to conclude that health status of a population is determined more by personal interests than by institutional involvement. Compulsory medical checkup is fine, but it is fine just for the sake of checkups, not for anything else, I tend to say.
