The bar graph gives an information about various type of games played by children in PACANS for the period of 15 years from 1990 to 2005.The x-axis indicates the years and y-axis shows the numbers of children with interval of 500.
The most noticeable trend is cricket was the most popular game and fewer children played football during these years. In the 1990 and 1995, almost same number of children played cricket, that was 2000. Then in the following years, it can be seen that, it dramatically changed to almost 4000 in 2005.Meanwhile, only 1000 students played football in1990but its rate was raised throughout the years and reached to 2000in2005.Where as, hockey was played by 1000 students in 1995 and in the next 10 years it rose up to 3500 in 2000 but in the next 5 years its popularity declined to 2500 in 2000.
To sum up, overall view of the graph shows that children’s interest in cricket and football increased but there was decreased number of children played hockey.

Some social scientists are of the view that it is time for the world to see climate change through a moral prism as there are solid evidences to show that it is real and carbon is the culprit.
Discuss this view and see how right the social scientists are.
Climate change has been a refrain for decades, and there were skeptics who did not accept the carbon-and-climate-change equation. However, now it is on the face of the world and, some say there is a moral issue in it. Let me see it through such an angle.
The whole world over the years had been willfully ignorant of the carbon-begotten climate change. There had been discussions and arguments in circles as big as Global Summits on how carbon has been harming global climate. Simultaneously, nations of all makes went on producing carbon callously. In between, no nation has ever asked a question; “is this mounting carbon footprint going to harm the world in any way?” They were blind to the truth that the world is circle and no one could live in isolation. This blindness has been a moral breach, of course.
Now, studies have made it clear that carbon is going sabotage the world climate sooner than later. That is, things have come to such a pass that, unless all of us are able to ask ourselves a simple moral question whenever we happen do something to better our lives. The question is, is it going to put in anything harmful to the already-pressed global climate? If it is in the affirmative, there is a moral issue involved. No doubt, the scientists warn, the world must realize that when one part of the world is immoral in their actions, the other part cannot be free from its effects.
The thing with social scientists is that climate change as such may have countless implications and dimensions, but the world can no longer be ignorant of the moral side of carbon menace. It is immoral to be carbon-producing, the social scientists seem to sound so.

The question – a holiday competition letter
You won a competition and received a vacation for two as a prize. Write a letter to ask them to go on holiday with you. In the letter, you should:
• tell him/her about the competition you won,
• state what kind of vacation it is,
• explain why you would like him/her to go on holiday with you
My model answer
Dear Pablo,
I’ve got some really exciting news to share with you. Guess what? I’ve won a holiday for two people in a competition. I do hope that you can come with me.
All I had to do to win the competition was write a slogan for a local travel agency. My winning submission was “Fly LTC and see the world”. As I said, my prize is a holiday and it is a cruise around the Mediterranean for a fortnight. The ship is the latest luxury liner and has all sorts ofentertainment facilities including a swimming pool, a cinema complex and onboard tennis courts. It sounds as if it should be great fun.
I really hope that you are available sometime this summer. I’d love it if you could come with me, as it sounds just your cup of tea and you could always act as an interpreter for me when we get to Spain!
I need to book the cruise quite soon, so just drop me a line if you are free.
All the best
Angela
You should understand from this question that you need to make the letter informal as you are writing to a friend and that the key vocabulary you need relates to holidays.

Model letter for task one GT ielts
The question
You have just bought a new mobile phone from a website on the internet. When it was delivered, the phone was faulty.
Write a letter to the website. In the letter:
• introduce yourself
• explain the situation
• state what action you want to be taken
•
Read the letter of complaint
Dear Sirs,
I am writing to you to complain about the mobile I bought from your online store on 23rd November. I have been a loyal customer of yours for the last 4 years and have successfully made many purchases in course of time. Unfortunately, however, this time I am dissatisfied with the service you have provided.
The mobile telephone I ordered was the latest smart phone, the Samsung Android SA23. My reason for choosing this model was that you advertised it on your website as having the new Swipe texting system and complete social network support. Unfortunately, neither of these functions works properly. When I try to write a text message, the system either crashes or switches into Chinese and does not recognize the words. Likewise, the telephone does not have the advertised complete social network support, and I am unable to upload photographs to Twitter and Face book.
For these reasons, I would ask you either to refund the purchase price in full or send me a replacement handset. I look forward to your immediate response.
Yours faithfully

Climate change and moral issue on carbon ielts essay

Some social scientists are of the view that it is time for the world to see climate change through a moral prism as there are solid evidences to show that it is real and carbon is the culprit.
Discuss this view and see how right the social scientists are.
introduction
Climate change has been a refrain for decades, and there were skeptics who did not accept the carbon-and-climate-change equation. However, now it is on the face of the world and, some say there is a moral issue in it. Let me see it through such an angle.

The whole world over the years had been willfully ignorant of the carbon-begotten climate change. There had been discussions and arguments in circles as big as Global Summits on how carbon has been harming global climate. Simultaneously, nations of all makes went on producing carbon callously. In between, no nation has ever asked a question; “is this mounting carbon footprint going to harm the world in any way?” They were blind to the truth that the world is circle and no one could live in isolation. This blindness has been a moral breach, of course.

Now, studies have made it clear that carbon is going sabotage the world climate sooner than later. That is, things have come to such a pass that, unless all of us are able to ask ourselves a simple moral question whenever we happen do something to better our lives. The question is, is it going to put in anything harmful to the already-pressed global climate? If it is in the affirmative, there is a moral issue involved. No doubt, the scientists warn, the world must realize that when one part of the world is immoral in their actions, the other part cannot be free from its effects.
Conclusion
The thing with social scientists is that climate change as such may have countless implications and dimensions, but the world can no longer be ignorant of the moral side of carbon menace. It is immoral to be carbon-producing, the social scientists seem to sound so.

Hunger and epidemics are twins

IELTS task II on Child offenders and legal immuinity
Jaypeestask2161114003
Many legal systems find it extremely hard to deal with children who happen to commit offences that are normally done by adults. Some say such cases need to be dealt with as adult crimes while others say the judiciary needs to be considerate with such children.
• Which view do you support and state why oppose the other?
The legal hassle, minors against the law of the land, has always put jurists in fixes, and there are differing views on how to handle them. I find it, however, right to go with the idea of taking such children in a more humane manner than giving them an adult-shade. Obviously, there are alternative ways. Introduction ends
At the outset, we all must admit the fact that children do not have any vile intentions per se. This fact notwithstanding, many are found to be against the law. But the most unfortunate thing is that this sensitive and vulnerable population segment, most of the time, is prone to temptations. In India, to exemplify, huge number of under-age offenders end up in courtrooms. But, most of their trial records have something in common; unintentional crime. Here what is clear is children hardly recognize the magnitude of the crimes they commit, and they do it when they are driven to the wall.first para ends
The story is different with adults who resort to crimes in a premeditated manner most of the time. An intentional offence is a threat to any society. It does not mean that the offences children commit are threat-free. That is not reason enough to treat such cases as adult cases because all civilized societies treat children considerately and their actions are not equated with those done by adults. Naturally, they should be immune to the proceedings of adult crimes. Children cannot be legally punished.second para ends
Conclusion begins
The inference is that minors against law must get a different court of justice, and no legal system can augur well of itself if ever a child offence is treated like an adult-done one, however grave that crime is.

Talent pool shortage and poor status of naitons
Some say talent pool shortage is the reason for the prolonged poor status of poor nations. But this views is opposed by others saying that it is the unwise management of the talent that does the job.
• Discuss both the views and say what you feel of talent management in poor nations.
It has been quite long since the world started hearing about poor nations. In this respect, the view that talent shortage is the reason for their prolonged poor status short of substance and the second view sounds really well founded. 40 words
The school of talent pool deficit may be based on the assumption that the poor are poor in all respects. But it is not so. There are innumerable instances to prove that the talent pool of the poor is so rich. Firstly, the statistics on human capital export from poor nations is reason enough to prove that. Besides this, multinational companies from the richer parts of the world are outsourcing great number of jobs to poor nations, especially to Asia. In entertainment, sports, business, literature, administration R and D and the like are brimming with talent. 95 words
Actually, in these poor geographies talent is callously managed. It happens like this. Corruption, poor political will, money and favoritism are the elements that dictate things. Asian countries are notorious for this. Naturally, their talent pool neither rightly acknowledged nor very well assessed or wisely assigned. The result is talents go either unemployed or underemployed or unidentified. For example, delayed employment, running for facilities and, finally, throwing up the towel and flying off the country are very common. The available talent is not put to right use. 85 words
The discussion, in short, reveals that the first view on talent does not hold any water, but the second is the other way round. Analyzing both, what I feel is that, in poor many poor nations, diverse exceptional talents are not allowed to work for the uplift of these countries; to the ranks of the rich. 55 words

It has been quite long since the world started hearing about poor nations. In this respect, the view that talent shortage is the reason for their prolonged poor status short of substance and the second view sounds really well founded. 40 words (The writer disagrees with the first and goes well with the second)
The school of talent pool deficit may be based on the assumption (an observation) that the poor are poor in all respects. But it is not so. There are innumerable instances to prove that the talent pool of the poor is so rich. (Trying to make his stance clear) Firstly, the statistics on human capital export from poor nations is reason enough to prove that. Besides this, multinational companies from the richer parts of the world are outsourcing great number of jobs to poor nations, especially to Asia. (Proved again that there is talent pool). Talents from entertainment, sports, literature, administration, R and D and the like are making great business strides all over the world. (wound up by touching a few others) 95 words
Actually, in these poor geographies talent is callously managed. (Mede the stance clear) It happens like this. Corruption, poor political will, money and favoritism are the elements that dictate things. Asian countries are notorious for this. (Substantiated with examples) Naturally, their talent pool neither rightly acknowledged nor very well assessed or wisely assigned. (derived a conclusion) The result is talents go either unemployed or underemployed or unidentified. For example, delayed employment, running for facilities and, finally, throwing up the towel and flying off the country are very common. The available talent is not put to right use. (Sealed without any room for confusion that talent is spoilt) 85 words
The discussion, in short, reveals that the first view on talent does not hold any water, (restated the position in the intro in other words) but the second is the other way round (proved that right). Analyzing both, what I feel is that, (that part is answered) in many poor nations, diverse exceptional talents are not allowed to work for the uplift of these countries; to the ranks of the rich. 55 words

The eco.imbalance by urban and rural lands
All the efforts being taken by ordinary people around the world towards environmental well being are spoiled by the fast urbanization exercises that are being carried out in several pockets like metros the world over.
• Discuss.
Environmental health is a concern for the whole world and the common folks are doing great things towards it. But the sad thing is that their inputs are imbalance by the urban expansion exercises. This, obviously, is a relevant topic of discussion.
First of all, we must see how ordinary people around the world are doing their share not to harm the environment any further. Basically, the waste they generate is not huge or harmful, the comforts and convenience they enjoy are limited leaving much little room for any harm to the ecology. For example, ordinary people in the countryside burn much less power than the people elsewhere and so is the case with the fuels and similar essentials. This positive attitude to the environment is much deeper in then as evidenced by the extent of green cover they keep. Obviously, their respective geographies are able to breathe easier too.
However, the world must not forget the fact that the urban landscapes are getting expanded much faster than ever, and the damages they generates are many times higher and the efforts the rest of the world is taking are being upset ruthlessly. For example, the carbon footprint felt in urban landscapes is hundred times higher than what is read in semi-urban or rural areas. The result is the breather achieved by the less developed areas towards ecological health is being hijacked by urban development explosions. This is a sad state of affairs indeed.
It is clear that there is great concern in the way the urban landscapes handle the environment, and the efforts of the much less harming human lives elsewhere are sabotaged by the urbanites. The world must discuss it in the upcoming Climate Summits.
