1. Some people say that shopping festivals and similar promotional activities should be banned as they do great harm the society and environment. Some others say shopping festivals bring in a lot of benefits to the society.

· How do shopping festivals harm the society?
· Do you think they bring in some benefits? If yes, what are they?


Promotional arrangements like shopping festivals are very common now and they have many implications for the society. Banning it on the basis of its harms leads to problems as they are very much part of the economy and they bring in great benefits, too. On the other hand, the social impacts of such activities are so severe as well that we need to take them in a need based manner. 55 words.

2. Manufacturers, who produce products that generate non-degradable waste, should be asked to pay waste management tax.
· How far do you agree or disagree with this idea?


Waster management is a huge social issue and waste accumulation rising alarmingly due to consumerism. Since people have no other way out, they buy packaged things, and all these packages,both degradable and not, go to the open in the form of waste. We can solve this problem to some extent if manufactures are asked to pay waste management tax, and same could be used to establish infrastructure for wastemanagemen. This will discourage them from packing products in unfriendly materials. 55 words

I am going to tell you what (ever) I know about it.
Please try to get an acceptable or reasonable pronunciation; that is the listener has to understand you.
Do not try to imitate pronunciation. You may have your own pronunciation, a consistent one of course.
When you are asked to speak for two minutes, manage your answer and speak for two minutes. You can even over-speak if you want to. The examiner will control your time. Use personal phrases like: I think, I feel, I am under the impression that. My opinion on this is that…In my opinion, personally, yes, it is true, I too feel so.. I have felt it many times….There are occasions in my life too. Many people think so, but I think…..these phase can help you take you answer to cross 2 minutes.

Change is made more on people's attitude towards change than on othe factors like law and order, legal system.....an IELTS essay

Change in any society is decided more by the people’s attitude towards change than by any other agencies like law and order, justice system and administration.
How far do you agree or disagree with this statement? Jaypee.11/12/08

Change in general terms means a shift from one system or order to the other. It is mainly effected by the people involved in the process of change. However, mere participation in the process of change may not be enough to carry out certain changes. Still, change as such is decided more by the people’s attitude towards change than by anything else. 50 words

This can be proved by looking at the following example. The system called state, including its law and order machinery, justice system and administration, may expect its citizens to abstain from accepting dowry or discouraging child labour as they are social evils. The government can enact rules and regulations to effect this change. But, unfortunately, such rules and regulations cannot bring about any change unless the individuals decide that it is their responsibility not to take dowry or promote child labour. Therefore, it is right to say that any change is possible only if the people take it seriously. 100 words

If we look at it from a different angle, we can understand that in a society, rules, regulations, regular administration etc. are as important as people’s attitude. For example, giving security to the life and property of the citizens. Every country needs a system in place to safeguard the citizens’ liberties and rights. No matter whether the people cooperate or not, that system needs to be enforced. Here the state stands supreme with its power, and no individual is given any freedom to forgo the rules. So it is partly agreeable that law and order, justice system and administration too are needed to make changes in the society. 100 words

The above arguments make it clear that change is effected more by the people’s attitude towards change than by other factors. But this situation does not make the other agencies irrelevant either. Change as such is the result of collective initiative primarily of the people and secondly by other agencies. 50 words

Seurity. whose responsibility. state's or individuals'. IELTS essay

There is a general argument that the The state is supposed to provide security to the life and property of its citizens. But there is another view that citizens too have the responsibility to look after his life and property.

How do you look at these two view points? Jaypee. 10/12/08

Everybody has a general impression that the state is the sole authority to provide security to people’s life and property. This belief is based on the fact that it is the people who constitute the state. However, security is a huge responsibility and individuals may be able to do many things substantially to the state with regard to security. 55 words

In general terms, the state is liable to provide security. But maintaining security requires a lot many things. Firstly, there needs to be rules and regulations, law and order machinery, defense and their implementation. This may demand people’s participation and cooperation. Here too the individual has to contribute his share of responsibility. Secondly, personal care is something personal and every individual can do many things to protect him and his property on the basis of the faith that the state is there to safeguard his rights. 85 words

But on the other hand, it is right to say there is no the state without people, and there is no populace without the state. They go hand in hand. Here we find the interplay of the state and its populace coexist contributing each other, not so equally though. Since every individual is weak and vulnerable when taken in isolation, the state has to have a say in his security. The same way, the individual has no power unless the state provides him the same. There is no security without the state. It is a common arrangement reached between the state and its population. 95 words

Therefore, it is right to say that security to life and property is a collective responsibility shared by the individual and the state. This is true because, there are certain things that the state must do its citizens. And there are certain things that the individuals should do to the state. 50 words. Totals words. 280.

AN IELTS ESSAY frame ON: Seurity of life and property: whose job, state's or individuals'

There is a general argument that State is supposed to provide security to the life and property of its citizens. But there is another view that citizens too have the responsibility to look after his life and property.

How do you look at these two view points? Jaypee. 10/12/08

· Providing security is huge responsibility
· Security is a feeling that gets generated by many factors.
· It includes the protection of life and property of the people.
· Since it’s a common system, the job needs to be shared.
· Citizens cannot sit assured that the state will provide him

Supposed is to provide.

In general terms, it is true, because:
Firstly, laws, rules, their implementation need a system
Secondly, the security of nation is in the hand of the defense.
Thirdly, every individual is weak when taken individually.
His concerns need to be taken care of by the state, especially when his personal freedom and safety is threatened.
This is more so in a democracy with huge population. He has a duty too.

Citizens have to share it.
One the other hand, every citizen is supposed to protect himself.
Primarily, personal care is personal and state has limitations.
Since population is huge, state may not be able to do
Secondly, everyone needs to cooperate with the state..when in need
Thirdly, there are so many things citizens themselves can do.
State is constituted by the people. State is people.
Concl:
· Freedom is responsibility. One has to show a sense responsibility
· State is collective identity constituted by the people.
· People cannot get themselves isolated from the state
· State is people. People have to have a share in everything, including security to the life and property.

Right schooling key to succeess. an essay by my student.

Right schooling is corner stone of success in everyone’s life.

· How far is this true in your point of view?
· Do you think there are some other factors that help one succeed? If yes, what are they?

It is right to argue that right schooling is corner stone of success in everybody’s life. Education is the most powerful weapon to achieve success in this modern world. However, education alone cannot make a man succeed in life. If success is the ladder, education is the first step, but there are many other steps such as personal attitude, the environment society etc. 60 words

Proper education is the key because, it helps the person to identify and develop his/her academic skills. A person will be able to get appropriate qualifications which will make him fit in his profession. Secondly, good schooling provides provision to explore his extra-curricular skills. Arts and sports activities will help the student to recognize his talents. Besides, exams and competitions make a person strong enough to face failures and shortcomings and to improve accordingly. Thirdly, children will learn how to behave in a society. Interaction with the peer group enhances the communication and social skills. 90 words

However, it is hard to say that a person will succeed in his life only with his school education and qualifications. There are many other contributing factors like living environment, social and familial. For example, a student can become a nurse after completing three or four years’ nursing education. But that nursing certificate alone will not make one successful. To be successful, he or she should have some soft skills such as empathy, patience, mercy, presence of mind, willingness etc... One picks up these skills from his personal experience, family and society. 90 words

In conclusion, it is right to say that right schooling is the corner shot of success. However, there are other factors that contribute to one’s success; such as personal attitude, living environment, family and friends. Success is a collective process, and education is the key to that success. 45. Words.

Helping others. a 9/9 ielts essay by jaypee.

Helping others is very much part of all cultures around the world, but these days there is a growing tendency among people to neither offer help nor receive it.

· Why is this change of attitude?
· Do you think it as a sign of progress?

Ever since man started living community life, he has been depending on his fellow beings for one thing or the other. As a result helping others have been part of all human societies. But people’s dependence on others has reduced over the years, and now some people do not help others or be helped by others. It has many reasons, and don’t think it is not a sign of progress. 55 words

The major reasons are: firstly, people have achieved financial and material independence due to developments. For example people these days make a lot of money and they live their life independently. Secondly, the material conveniences make them selfish, and so naturally they spare no time for helping others too. Every one is trying to make differences in their life. And thirdly, some people feel that it is unfair to receive help from others. This is because of their false pride. Any way this is not a good sign. 90 words

Primarily, human society is a mixture of people of different statuses and needs. So everyone cannot be independent. One has to take some help from others at some part of their life, because life is really unpredictable. Secondly, a great part of human happiness comes from helping others and being helped by others. This is very important for the harmonious and peaceful coexistence of the society. Of course, it is good to be independent, but it is not good to be denying helping or declining to help others. It is not human. 90 words.

Looking at the above points, it is right to conclude that helping others and be helped by others are social gestures which need to be promoted by all means. No man is an island, and everyone is likely to depend on and be depended by others. Ignoring help is no good. 50 words. 285 words

We need to impose waste tax by jaypeescopies@yhoo.co.in

We need to impose waste-tax
It is not civic to let any organization: Local, national, or multi-national, to come up and operate their businesses anywhere and go scot-free when it comes to the after-effects of their products' wastes. Waste-tax is the need of the hour..
CJ> Vaatupura A Jayaprakash 30 Jun 2008 Views:6662

WE NEED to impose a new tax on manufacturers who pack their products in non-degradable materials. It has become impossible these days to buy something without a little waste attached with it. Even a rupee’s sachet of shampoo comes with a strip of plastic and the same is enough to create waster-related problems. Therefore, I feel it is a good idea to impose some waste management tax on manufacturers.

Our life has come to a new phase, where waste has become a by-product of our comforts, and since there seems to be no U-turn from this state of affairs, we need to find ways and means to recycle or manage the wastes that get generated on a daily basis. Moving and managing waste has become a severe headache to the corporations, municipalities and local self government organs all over the country.
Also, there are innumerable instances of fund and infrastructure shortage to manage the waste. Coupled with these is the outbreak of contagions. All thanks to our modern consumer culture.

Who is to be held responsible for this? The consumer or the manufacturer? I think it is the duty of the manufacturer to chip in a share of his profit to raise a national fund on waste management. It is not civic to let any organisation: Local, national, or multi-national, to come up and operate their businesses anywhere and go scot-free when it comes to the after-effects of their products’ wastes.

There needs to be a new tax regime to earmark a sizeable share from the turnovers of all manufacturers, and allocate those funds for the wise management of wastes. This is primarily for the general well-being of the public. Secondly, it is to maintain a healthy environment, and thirdly it would help development and sustain a responsible business culture. Waste-tax is the need of the hour.

WLB, or what the social scientists call Work Life Balance, or is what is needed to maintain a healthy life in these days of stress and strain.

· How far is this true in your opinion?
· Do you think there certain other factors that help people lead a stress-free life?

Healthy life involves mainly four things: health, entertainment/recreation, job satisfaction/security and social/family life. It all involves time.
They have to be managed to have a balanced life. So Work Life Balance is much more needed in today’s life than ever before.

True to a great extent.

· Demands of life make imbalances:
· Personal life suffers
· Health and relations weaken
