The graph is about the value of companies

The graph presents the values in US dollars of three companies selling farming equipments every five years and their projected value for the year 2015.

It is clear that Greenacres recorded a steady growth from 1960 to 1990. Its initial worth of 2000,000 dollars got doubled to 4000,000 in 30 years. However, it suffered a great loss soon and its value scaled down to its 1960 position in 2000. Anyway, there was quick recovery, and it touched 350,000 dollars mark in 2010. If it keeps this tempo, its value is projected to go above 4000,000 dollars in 2015.

With a starting value of mere 500,000 dollars, Carsons Ltd kept on growing, with slight fluctuations in between, and it is projected to touch 1500,000 dollar mark in 2015, recording a three times growth. 

And, finally, Farm Implements, which started trading only in 1980, had an opening value of 1000,000 dollars. Successive periods witnessed steady growth and it fared almost equally well with Greenacres’ value in 2010; around 3500,000. It stands poised to cross 3500,000 mark in 2015.

When Farm Implements and Carsons Ltd. had a constant growth over the years, Greenacres’ value spiraled down once in between and fared well ahead of all others.

5 Proven Health Benefits of Having a Pet

It's a download from care4you.com

An apple a day may or may not actually keep the doctor away, but what about an animal a day? Now, that’s a different story. In fact, when it comes to pet ownership, there are a number of proven health benefits for people, including physical, mental and emotional improvements, from enhancing social skills to decreasing a person’s risk of heart attack. Keep reading to find out five reasons to open your home to a furry friend, and why doing so might be just what the doctor ordered.

No. 5: Breathe Easier

If the idea of cuddling with a pet to help ward off allergies seems a little backwards to you, the following may come as a surprise: University of Wisconsin-Madison pediatrician James E. Gern has conducted a number of studies that demonstrate having a pet in the home can actually lower a child’s likelihood of developing related allergies by as much as 33 percent. In fact, his research — as published in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology — shows that children exposed early on to animals tend to develop stronger immune systems overall. While this might not mean much for adults who are already struggling with longstanding allergies, it is good news for families in which this isn’t already an established issue, but rather just a concern about what could happen down the road.

No. 4: Meet and Greet

One of the fringe benefits of taking on the responsibility of pet ownership is that animals can be an instant icebreaker, whether they’re with you or you’re just using them as a topic of conversation. Of course, few people would suggest getting a pet solely for this purpose, but it’s hard to overlook the fact that pets provide a great means for improving your socialization skills across the board, especially in terms of meeting and interacting with other pet owners. Though people sometimes may have a hard time getting to know each other, pets can be the common denominator that helps them connect — even among people who don’t seem to be very much alike.

Places to Mix and Mingle with your Pet

There are plenty of ways a pet could help expand your social circle. You just need to know where to go: Training classes: Many instructors offer group classes such as puppy kindergarten, where you’ll find others trying to master the same pet parenting skills. Dog parks: A great opportunity for both you and your dog to play and interact with other dogs and owners alike. Just be sure your dog is properly socialized and up to date on all shots before introducing it into the mix. Outdoor cafes: Many restaurants with outdoor seating options are also pet-friendly, and some even offer dog-specific items on the menu as well.

No. 3: Stay Heart Healthy

Many pet owners would agree that a pet can fill your heart with love. So maybe it’s only fitting that the presence of a pet can help improve the overall health of that organ, too. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the National Institute of Health (NIH) have both conducted heart-related studies on people who have pets. The findings showed that pet owners exhibit decreased blood pressure, cholesterol and triglyceride levels — all of which can ultimately minimize their risk for having a heart attack down the road. For those who have already experienced a heart attack, research also indicates that patients with a dog or a cat tend to have better recovery rates. These benefits are thought to be connected with pets’ tendency to help reduce or at least control their owners’ overall stress levels.

Fun Ways to Stay Fit with Fido:

If you’re a dog owner who needs more of a workout than walking can provide, here are a few ideas:

·                                 Jogging or running

·                                 Biking

·                                 Hiking

·                                 Doga (i.e. Yoga for Dogs)

·                                 Agility training (obstacle course-based dog sport)

No. 2: Get a Move On

Need a little motivation in the exercise department? Dogs can act as the perfect personal trainer, if only because most of them need to be walked several times a day. According to studies like those conducted by the Wellness Institute at Northwest Memorial Hospital, as long as you’re the one holding the leash, you’ll reap the rewards, which can include losing — or at least maintaining — weight. Research conducted by the National Institute of Health also supports this claim — including one study of more than 2,000 adults, which found that dog owners responsible for walking their pups are less likely to be obese than dog owners who pass the duty off to someone else or those who don’t own dogs at all.

No. 1: Keep Your Chin Up

Pets are a great way to beat the blues. Not only are they known to they offer unconditional love, but they may also give their owners a sense of purpose, which can be crucial for those feeling down in the dumps. Pets also combat feelings of loneliness by providing companionship, which can boost your overall mood and even bring you feelings of joy and happiness. This is particularly apparent among groups — including the sick and elderly — who may be on the receiving end of Animal-assisted Therapy (AAT) or Pet-facilitated Therapy (PFT). Many hospitals and nursing homes use these types of programs on a regular basis.

Many newspapers and magazines feature stories about the private lives of famous people. We know what they eat, where they buy their clothes and who they love. We also often see pictures of them in private situations. Is it appropriate for a magazine or newspaper to give this kind of private information about people?Give reasons for your answer. Downloaded

Generally, people read newspapers to find out about world current affairs and they read magazines to be entertained. Therefore, one would expect to find articles that feature the private lives of famous people in magazines rather than newspapers. However, nowadays, more and more newspapers include stories like these which are neither informative nor useful.

In my opinion, this type of gossip about people's private lives should not be in newspapers for several reasons. Firstly, for example, the fact that Princess Diana is going out with a sportsman is not important news. Secondly, if newspapers want to publish articles about famous people they should focus on their public events and achievements. In other words, if there is an article about Princess Diana it should be about her works of charity, which will increase public awareness of important problems. In addition, journalists should make sure that they write about the facts only, not rumours. One should be able to rely on newspapers for the actual truth.

Magazines, on the other hand, focus on social news. But I feel it is more acceptable for them to contain some features about famous personalities. In addition to being popular reading, these stories often benefit the stars by giving free publicity to them, thereby helping their careers. However, I also believe that magazine stories should not mention things that are too embarrassing or untrue just to attract people to buy the magazine. Sensational stories, such as these, cause great unhappiness to the people concerned.

In conclusion, I think newspapers should concentrate on real news but magazines can feature some articles on people's private lives.

As mass communication and transport continue to grow, societies are becoming more and more alike leading to a phenomenon known as globalization. Some people fear that globalization will inevitably lead to the total loss of cultural identity.
To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

Globalization means that in some ways people around the world are becoming more and more similar. We often eat the same food, watch the same TV programmes, listen to the same music and we wear the same clothes. Some of this at least can be blamed on the spread of multinational brands available all over the world.

On the surface, it may appear as if the global diversity of cultural identities is being lost. If, the argument goes, people in Tokyo and London look and dress the same, then that must mean that cultural differences are disappearing. However, I would argue that this is a very narrow definition of culture and that in fact cultural differences are as present as ever.

Cultural Identity is built on far more than just the films we watch or the jeans we wear. The foundation of cultural identity is shared values. When you look in detail at different cultures, you realize that the things that are important to one culture can be very different from the things valued by another culture.

Take my own culture, India, as an example and compare it to a very different culture, Japan. Although I have never visited Japan personally, I believe that it is a culture which places a lot of value on hard work and that people often work very long hours. The Indian people, in contrast, greatly value their leisure time and strive to spend as much lime with their family as they possibly can. Even if we consume the same products, I would argue that there are still some very deep-rooted differences.

To summarize, I do not accept that that total loss of cultural identity is inevitable, despite the influence of large companies and their products around the globe.

Many people say that the only way to guarantee getting a good job is to complete a course of university education. Others claim that it is better to start work after school and gain experience in the world of work.
How far do you agree or disagree with the above views? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience. Downloaded

It is probably true to say that most people believe that a university degree is the only way to get a good job. I think this is true in certain areas, while in other areas, a degree is not as useful.

To begin with, many people have ambitions to become a qualified professional and there is no doubt that becoming a doctor or a lawyer, for example, is only possible with a degree. Another advantage of graduating from university is that it gives you more choices when it comes to choosing a job. Most employers will be more impressed by a candidate who has a degree than they would be by one who only has high school qualifications because it shows a certain level of intelligence and education, as well as the commitment and self-discipline that is needed In order to study a degree course for three or four years.

On the other hand, there might be some benefit to starting your career early, especially if your chosen field is one which does not typically require a university education. This would apply to somebody who wants to be a car mechanic, or a fashion designer, for instance, who would not necessarily gain anything from going to university. The hands-on experience you gain in your job while others are studying for a degree can give you a distinct advantage. I once read about a man who left school at sixteen and went on to become a wealthy and successful investment broker. He claimed that he had learned all he needed to know by working in his chosen field and that he could not have done any better by getting a degree.

So, to conclude, it is possible to get a good job without going to university. Having said that, some professions, such as the law, require you to have a degree and as stated above a University degree could potentially open more doors when looking for a job.(327 words)

Globalization as a matter of fact has been able to make visible changes in the ordinary lives of man. However, human life has become vulnerable to several unhealthy conditions. How are these two faces of globalization getting reflected in your place? You cite examples taken from your surroundings.

An Answer by Jyothi Midhun. (Mrs)

To be processed in the class

For some quite some years, the world has been witnessing immense changes in all fields thanks to globalization. Of course, it has contributed many great things for the world, but the bad effects of globalization outweigh all that great things. In this essay, I am trying to see the good and bad faces of globalization. 55 words

The problem faced by my locality is relation to waste disposal. My home town is a small and it is not a densely populated place either. But the extent of waste is very high. I strongly believe that it is the result of the use and throw culture generated by consumerism, a byproduct of globalization. For example, it is hard to a product without a little waste attached to it, let be degradable or not. With the influence of consumerism, people buy unwanted things and after some days, they discard them in their surroundings. What happens next is the government authorities collect and dump these wastes somewhere and it contribute to many health problems to the local people. In my locality, Vadavathoor is the place where the municipality dumps these wastes. The people in and around this area are suffering a lot from this. This is a byproduct of globalization. 150

In the past, hospitals had a face of service. But nowadays, hospital business is the most profitable business. It is because of globalization. In addition, there is great change in the food habits of people. The number of eateries has risen and, as a result, people get different foods that are not part of their food regime. Naturally, they get affected by many disease conditions. Simultaneously, healthcare facilities too have taken up changes and they offer services which were once available in foreign countries. Simply taking a cursory look around, one may understand how big hospital business is. Above all these, these hospitals dispose of all sorts of medical wastes, putting yet another threat to the society. 115

In short, in this era, human life is not safe because of these practices. So, the only thing we can do is to be wise enough to appreciate the brighter aspects of globalization and manage the ugly aspects it as globalization has both angelic and diabolic dimensions. We cannot help it. 50

How to Write an IELTS Essay

On this page you will find some guidance on how you should write an IELTS essay.

These are some of the types of IELTS essay we will look at:

·                                                                Agree / disagree

·                                                                Discuss two opinions

·                                                                Advantages & disadvantages

·                                                                Causes (reasons) & solutions

·                                                                Causes (reasons) & effects

·                                                                Problems & solutions

·                                                                Compare & contrast

Not every essay will fit one of these patterns, but many do. You may get some of these tasks mixed up. For example, you could be asked to give your opinion on an issue, and then discuss the advantages or disadvantages of it. The golden rule is to ALWAYS read the question very carefully to see exactly what you are being asked to do.

In order to answer this, let’s first look at a sample question:

You should spend about 40 minutes on this task.Present a written argument to an educated reader with no specialist knowledge of the following topic. In the last 20 years there have been significant developments in the field of information technology (IT), for example the World Wide Web and communication by email. However, future developments in IT are likely to have more negative effects than positive. To what extent do you agree with this view? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own experience or knowledge. You should write at least 250 words.

An IELTS essay is structured like any other essay; you just need to make it shorter. There are three key elements:

1.                       Introduction

2.                       Body Paragraphs

3.                       Conclusion

We will look at each of these in turn, using the essay question above as an example.

1) Introduction

You should keep your introduction for the IELTS essay short. Remember you only have 40 minutes to write the essay, and some of this time needs to be spent planning. Therefore, you need to be able to write your introduction fairly quickly so you can start writing your body paragraphs.

You should do just two things:

·                          State the topic of the essay, using some basic facts (that you may be able to take from the question)

·                          Say what you are going to write about

Here is an example introduction for the above essay question about IT:

The last two decades have seen enormous changes in the way people's lives are affected by IT, with many advances in this field. However, while these technological advances have brought many benefits to the world, it can be argued that future IT developments will produce more negative effects than positive ones.

As you can see, the first sentence makes sure it refers to the topic (IT) and uses facts about IT taken from the question. Note that these are paraphrased - you must not copy from the rubric!

The second part then clearly sets out on what the essay will be about and confirms the writer’s opinion (some questions may not ask for your opinion, but this one does).

2) Body Paragraphs

For an IELTS essay, you should have 2 or 3 body paragraphs - no more, and no less.

For your body paragraph, each paragraph should contain one controlling idea, and have sentences to support this.

Let’s look at the first paragraph for the essay about IT. The essay is about the benefits and drawbacks of IT. So these will need to be discussed in separate paragraphs.

Here is the first body paragraph:

To begin, email has made communication, especially abroad, much simpler and faster, resulting in numerous benefits for commerce and business. Furthermore, the World Wide Web means that information on every conceivable subject is now available to us. For example, people can access news, medical advice, online education courses and much more via the internet.  It is evident that these improvements have made life far easier and more convenient for large numbers of people and will continue to do so for decades to come.

The controlling idea in this first paragraph is the 'benefits of IT', and there are two supporting ideas, which are underlined. No drawbacks are discussed as the paragraph would then lose coherence.

Most of the essay will focus on the negative aspects of IT, as the writer says there are more negative effects in the introduction. So the next two paragraphs are about these.

The topic sentence in the next paragraph therefore tells us we are changing the focus to the negative points:

Nevertheless, the effects of this new technology have not all been beneficial. For example, many people feel that the widespread use of email is destroying traditional forms of communication such as letter writing, telephone and face-to-face conversation. This could result in a decline in people's basic ability to socialize and interact with each other on a day-to-day basis.

The final body paragraph gives the last negative effect:

In addition, the large size of the Web has meant that it is nearly impossible to regulate and control. This has led to many concerns regarding children accessing unsuitable websites and viruses. Unfortunately, this kind of problem might even get worse in the future at least until more regulated systems are set up.

3) Conclusion

The conclusion only needs to be one or two sentences, and you can do the following:

·                          Re-state what the essay is about (re-write the last sentence of your introduction in different words)

·                          Give some thoughts about the future

Here is an example:

In conclusion, developments in IT have brought many benefits, yet I believe developments relating to new technology in the future are likely to produce many negative effects that must be addressed if we are to avoid damaging impacts to individuals and society.

Questions

Some people argue that laws that govern cases involving juveniles need to be gender-specific as the number of juvenile cases found among boys is much higher than what it is among girls.

·        How justifiable is this gender-centric approach to juvenile cases?

Instances of crimes reported from among adolescents are found to be much higher these days than it was ever. This is mainly due to modern nuclear family atmosphere and its material pursuits.

 

·        Argue for and against this view.

Many crimes that once were very serious are now being taken so lightly that people seem to be learning to live with such crimes.

·        See why this is the case?

·        What does it imply?

THE IELTS ACADEMIC SPEAKING: How it works

The IELTS Academic Speaking test is the shortest of the components of the IELTS test - only 11 to 14 minutes. In this short time, you have to convince the examiner who will be speaking with you of your level of English.

It is the same for both the Academic and General Training modules. The test is conducted with 1 examiner and 1 candidate. The Speaking Test is divided into 3 sections and test is recorded as it takes place:

Section 1 Section 1 begins with some general introductory questions followed by some questions on personal information similar to the type of questions one would ask when meeting someone for the first time. Finally the examiner asks a series of questions of 2 topics of general interest. (4 - 5 minutes)

Section 2 Section 2 is a monologue (1 person speaking) by the candidate. The examiner will give the candidate a card with a subject and a few guiding questions on it. Something like this:

 

Speak about a skill you wished to learn

• What that was

·        When you wanted to learn

• Why you failed to learn it
• How you take that missed opportunity

The student must talk for 1 to 2 minutes on this subject. The examiner decides on the exact length. The student has an optional 1 minute in order to prepare for his talk and is provided with some paper and a pencil in order to make some brief notes. After the candidate's talk the examiner will ask a few brief questions. ( 4-5 minutes)

Section 3: Here the examiner will ask some more questions generally related to the subject spoken about in section 2. These questions will be more demanding and require some critical analysis on the part of the candidate. (4 - 5 minutes)

·        Do you think students should learn some life skills at school?

·        What are soft skills and how important are they?

·        Why is it easier to pick up a skill when we are young?

·        Is there any shortcut to master a skill?

 

 

Question Types

The types of questions that come in the IELTS Academic Speaking Test are very general in nature and are designed so that anyone around the world, regardless of what background or culture they come from, should be able to answer them. The questions will not be overly personal and will avoid contentious subjects such as politics, sex or religion.

All the questions will be open questions rather than closed questions. An open question asks the candidate to give an extended answer, and so have the opportunity to show how good his English is. A closed question is one that can be answered by a single word or a couple of words. So, you will not get a question like:

Do you like living in your town? Answer to this question is not just ‘yes’ or ‘no’, rather, it is like Yes, I like it because, or no, I don’t like it because……It is a kind of why you like it or why you do not like it.

A student could just answer ‘yes’. Any answer like this will just be followed by the question why? So you have to extend your answer (what you should have done after the "yes" anyway). Anyway, the question is more likely to be:

Why do you like living in your town?

Here the candidate has to give an explanation and therefore the examiner hears plenty of English which will help him or her evaluate you.

Marking - IELTS Academic Speaking Test Marks, Bands and Results

In the IELTS Academic Speaking Test you will be marked in 4 areas. These 4 areas are:

·        Fluency and Coherence,

·        Lexical Resource,

·        Grammatical Range

·        Accuracy and Pronunciation.

For the first 3, you get a mark out of 9. For Pronunciation you get a 2, 4, 6 or 8. Finally an average is taken to give you your final band for the Speaking. Let's look at these areas in more detail.

Fluency and Coherence: The examiner grades your fluency, which is how easy, smooth and flowing your speaking is. To get a good grade here, any gaps in your speaking should be associated with searching for the right idea rather than hesitancy with finding the right word or structure. For the coherence part, the examiner looks at how easy you are to understand. Does your flow of ideas run smoothly, logically and with consistency? Do you communicate well?

Lexical Resource: This mark grades the range of words that you use in your speaking test and whether you use the words in the right way, at the right time and in the right place.
Grammatical Range and Resource: This mark grades your range of grammatical structures, your accuracy at producing them and whether you use the right structure at the right time and in the right place. This is the area that worries the candidates the most as it is the dreaded grammar. Remember it is only 1 part out of 4.

Pronunciation: This mark grades you on how clearly you speak English. How clearly means how comfortable you make the listener while speaking obviously, making your English understandable with an acceptable voice modulation, pronunciation, accent and the like. Unless you are English educated, you cannot speak like the English people speak. So do not imitate a pedantic pronunciation. Rather pick up one of your own which is understandable.

The Three Sections of the IELTS Academic Speaking Test

Here we will look at the three sections in more detail. Remember, the IELTS test always tries to mirror situations that you will encounter as a student or immigrant in an English speaking country. The speaking test is no different and each of the sections has a specific purpose. Like all the different modules of the IELTS, the speaking gets more difficult as it goes on. The questions that are asked in Section 1 are easier than in Section 2 and so on. This does not mean that by Section 3 they are impossible but they are more demanding linguistically.
