Scientists say that junk food is harmful to people's health.Some say the way to ask people to eat less fast food is to educate them, while others say education does not work. Discuss both sides and give your own opinion

It is irrefutable that junk food is harmful to people’s health. It contains a lot of fats and salts which are detrimental to health. Therefore, some people say that people should be educated and made aware of its harmful effects. However, others opine that education does not help in making people eat less junk food. In the following paragraphs I intend to discuss both issues and finally give my opinion.

Some opine that educating people about the harmful effects of junk food can help in reducing its use. The fact is that people don’t actually know what goes in the making of fast food. Fast foods are high in calories and low in nutrition. These foods are rich in harmful substances such as fat, salt, and sugar. Preservatives are also added in junk food. All these things can cause heart diseases, cancer, diabetes, and obesity. Obesity is one of the major problems in the world today. It is very important to reduce eating Junk foods for the healthy life. So, if people are warned about their bad effects, they would eat less of it. This can be done with the help of media such as TV, which is ubiquitous nowadays.

On the other hand some believe that educating people won’t help because junk food is very cheap, tasty and readily available. After a hectic days work no one is in a mood to spend time in the kitchen and so junk food is very convenient. It is also not very expensive and children love it. What is more, fast food outlets spend a lot to lure people with their ads. What people don’t realize is that the celebs they use in these ads hardly ever eat such food themselves and if they do, then they also spend hours working out in the gym every day.

After considering the convenience of fast foods, I believe that educating people would not help. It
would be better if these fast food outlets were educated about making fast food healthier. Strict rules should be laid down against using trans-fatty acids and saturated fats. Whole wheat breads could be used instead of white breads. Use of preservatives should be lessened and juices should be served along with such foods instead of carbonated drinks.

To summarise, fast food is harmful but still people eat it. Therefore, educating people would not help. Measures should be taken to improve the fast food. After all, all fast food is not bad.

                          IELTS 8 BAND ESSAY FROM                            LATEST IELTS TEST 2019 

A tendency that the news reported in the media focuses on problems and emergencies rather than the positive developments is harmful to both the individual and the society. Do you agree or disagree with this statement?

Today, we belong to a highly competitive era and in a bid to be at the top, the various sources of media are focusing on sensational news, which fetch more viewers and readers. Some individuals opine that this attitude is harmful for the people and the society. However, I disagree with this, as I believe that as long as the negative news reports are unbiased, the general public will not be harmed and there will be no detrimental effects on individuals and society.

My first argument is that it is the duty of the media to keep the people abreast of what is happening all around. If negative things are happening, people should know all that because then they can be prepared if anything is likely to affect them. Secondly, if the media reports such news, then more and more people can volunteer to help. For example, two years ago when Tsunami hit Japan, the news was spread like wildfire through all sources of media and people from all over the world sent relief in whatever way they could.

Undoubtedly, it is the onus of the media to report positive developments also. The media is a link between the government and the people. Very few people get to meet any politician in real life. But we can reach our voice to the authorities through the media. Then, the media also helps to get justice at times. In the Nirbhay rape case in December, 2012, it was through the efforts of the media that the culprits got a speedy punishment and Nirbhay’s family got justice. How can all these reportings be considered bad for the individuals and the society?

Proponents of the given statement say that such news makes people immune to negative things happening in society and so too much of such news should not be reported. They also believe that when media reports details of crime, then many people learn crime, which is definitely bad for the people and societies. I still believe that the media should apprise people with whatever they need to know, whether it is good or bad.

To sum up, it is imperative that media reports both positive and negative news without any bias and exaggeration. It is people’s responsibility to take all the news with a pinch of salt and analyze it with their critical thinking skills. Therefore, reporting more news on problems and emergencies is definitely not bad for the societies and individuals.

Ielts reading tips 2019

ielts reading tips 2019

 IELTS tips for the Reading Test.

Read the instructions carefully.  In particular, I suggest that you underline (or circle) the instructions regarding the number of words you are required to use in your answer.  Questions with a word limit do not always ask for the same number of words.

Do this all through the test as the instructions usually change throughout the exam.

Before you start, quickly glance at all 3 sections of the test.  We all know that the Reading Test increases in difficulty as you progress.  Although section 1 is known to be the easiest section, you may notice that the section 3 text is about a topic you know really well and you might decide to start with section 3.  I have found that a lot of my students really don’t like the ‘true, false, not given’ task type  and therefore decide to leave the section containing that task type until last.  In any case, it’s always a good idea to seize control of the test and give yourself the option of doing the section you ‘like the look of’ first.

A common lament I hear from students is about running out of time in the Reading Test.  Time management is crucial in the IELTS Reading Test.  You must complete 3 sections in one hour.  As a result, I strongly suggest you spend no more than 20 minutes on each section.

When you are ready to start, don’t read every word of the passage.  Read through quickly (about 5 minutes) and write the topic (main idea) of each paragraph in the margin, you should also underline the key words used for this topic.  Doing this will help keep you focussed when you’re answering the questions.

Following on from the last point, the General Training Reading Test and the Academic Reading Test are quite different.  In the General Training Reading Test, you might have shorter texts to read but there are often more of them.  This impacts on your time management and you need to ensure that you spend about 5 minutes of actual reading time for each section of the test.

Another point about time management is the question of transferring answers to the answer sheet.  As soon as you are satisfied with your answers to each group of questions, transfer them directly to the answer sheet (don’t forget you are NOT given time at the end to do this).

When reading the questions, underline or circle the key words and look for words and phrases in the passage that have a similar meaning.  Think carefully about the type of answer the question requires (e.g.  is it a number, a place, an animal).  Equally important is to think about the grammar of the answer; will it be a noun, an adjectival phrase etc.  This is particularly important in gap-fills where the answer needs to be factually correct and to fit grammatically.

I have found that for certain task types (that my students always complain about!) e.g. matching paragraph headings, yes/no/not given (true/false/not given), summarising, it often helps to read the questions and underline (or circle) key words before you read the text.   This will keep you focussed when you read the text.  As  you are reading  the passage, you can put a tick next to a paragraph or sentence that seems to relate to the questions.

For multiple choice and matching paragraph heading question task types, sometimes you immediately identify an answer as wrong.  If this is the case, put a line through it; there are two reasons for this 1) it is very satisfying (!) and 2) it makes you spend your time focussing on the other options.

It often happens in the matching paragraph heading question task type that you can’t decide between 2 possible answers.  I usually suggest that my students write both answers on their question sheet.  As you progress through the questions, it often becomes clear which is the correct answer.  At the end of the set of questions, if you are satisfied with your answers, but still have two possible answers for one question, then take an educated guess.  Do NOT write two answers on your answer sheet where only one is required.  You will not score a point for your answer if you write both.

In gap-fills and sentence completion task types, you are often required to copy a word or short phrase from the passage.  Make sure you copy the spelling correctly.  This sounds obvious but I am astounded by the number of students who make this mistake either through nerves or carelessness.

50 ways to improve your vocabulary for ielts 2019

                          50 ways to improve your vocabulary 

 

*1. Read, read, read—and listen!*

Reading literary works, newspapers and novels will expose you to words you would not encounter in everyday conversations. In a similar way, listening to news, and even audio books can greatly improve your vocabulary.

*2. Track your vocabulary learning progress with your phone, or book*

Keeping track of the vocabulary you have learned is an excellent way of ensuring that you are making progress. This will also keep you motivated to keep learning new words.

*3. Have a word of the day*

There are calendars, apps, and even websites that will give you a new vocabulary word every day to keep your vocabulary list growing over time.

*4. Have a vocabulary list on the wall (at home or office)*

Keeping a list of vocabulary around you wherever you are will ensure that you remember new words.

*5. Play games!*

Word games can be fun, and at the same time quite educational. So, play puzzles, word jumbles, Scrabble, and anagrams to learn new words in a fun way.

*6. Have a dictionary and thesaurus around you*

When you can find out the meaning of new words with ease with a dictionary or thesaurus, you can learn to use the new words you hear or see.

*7. Practice!*

Once you have heard or read a new vocabulary word, do not stop at knowing what it means; try using it in a sentence, preferably in a conversation.

*8. Start a blog*

Starting a blog has never been easier, and having a reason to write something every day by having a blog will inevitably result in growth in your vocabulary over time.

*9. Translate words into your own language*

When you try to translate vocabulary words into your own language, they are committed to your mind much faster. You will learn to use them better as well.

*10. Learn about English (and American) culture*

Taking an interest in the cultures of English-speaking countries, rather than the language alone, can greatly enhance your interest in the language and help you master English vocabulary faster.

*11. Try vocabulary quizzes*

When you test yourself, you will know whether you are making any progress or not. That is why vocabulary quizzes can be so helpful when learning English vocabulary.

*12. Use English news broadcasts and other resources to hear new words in context*

When you listen to people who are good in English using the language, you will master how the vocabulary is used much faster.

*13. Correspond with an English pen friend*

Having an English friend you exchange correspondence with can greatly improve your English skills and vocabulary based on the language he/she uses.

*14. Write down new words*

Whenever you hear or read new vocabulary, write it down. This makes it easier to remember in the future. This is also a great way to improve your English vocabulary.

*15. Use pictures*

Pictures can greatly enhance how fast you learn and memorize new words. So, try to learn vocabulary words and images associated with them.

*16. Learn with other people*

There are other people who are interested in learning new English vocabulary like you. You can join them and learn these words faster, and expose yourself to vocabulary you would not have found on your own.

*17. Don’t be scared*

Big words can be scary, but you should be excited to learn them and make an effort to use them if you are to broaden your English proficiency.

*18. Associate a new word you learn with people and events*

This technique will ensure that you remember the word and how to use it better in related contexts.

*19. Use the new words in other sentences*

When you learn a bunch of new words, try making sentences with them so that they stick. This will also improve your confidence when you are using them in the future.

*20. Learn the roots of words*

Many English words have Latin, Greek, or Germanic origins, and learning how they were created can greatly enhance how well you understand and use them in the future.

*21. Study word formation charts*

Using a word formation chart is a great way to keep the motivation to learn new words going.

*22. Repeat the word at least 7 times to remember it*

Repetition commits things to long-term memory. So to avoid forgetting the new vocabulary you have just learned, make sure that you repeat words at least 7 times for greater memorability.

*23. Create vocabulary themes*

Try coming up with vocabulary around a certain theme. This will increase the memorability of such words considerably.

*24. Know the parts of words*

Understanding the different parts of a word can help you figure out vocabulary words and their meanings more intuitively, which will improve how well you understand and use them in conversations.

*25. Learn new vocabulary through English stories, songs, and films*

This is an interesting way to improve your English vocabulary. By taking an interest in English songs, films, and stories, you can learn a lot of new vocabulary in a fun and engaging way.

*26. Create antonym and synonym word lists*

When you come across a word that you would like to learn more about, make a list of synonyms and antonyms for it. This will lead you to discover new vocabulary and ensure that you learn the new vocabulary better.

*27. Learn prefixes and suffixes*

Prefixes come before words, and suffixes after the words. A lot of words are created by adding these word parts. So learning more about them can go a long way in making the process of learning vocabulary easier.

*28. Use flash cards*

Flash cards can be great at helping you learn new words, as they are fun to use.

*29. Give yourself weekly words to use*

Every week, have a list of new vocabulary words you intend to use. This will conveniently grow your vocabulary over time.

*30. Use dictionary websites*

Dictionary websites are great in that in addition to telling you the meaning of words, you will often find many examples on how the words are used so that you can master their context much better.

*31. Write an explanation of the word in English*

Without knowing its meaning, you cannot use the new word properly. So, ensure that you write down the meaning of each word you learn so that you can actually use it properly when the occasion arises.

*32. When watching English videos, turn on subtitles*

When you watch a video with subtitles, you will focus more on the language being used, which will make you learn the new words and their context better.

*33. Enjoy yourself with the words you learn*

Don’t let learning new words become a chore. Try to make the process fun in your own ways for better results.

*34. Learn the vocabulary you need to study*

Sometimes you need to study a particular subject. You can always begin by learning the vocabulary related to that subject as a way to boost your vocabulary.

*35. Use visual dictionaries*

When language is mixed with graphics, learning is enhanced. Therefore, find visual English language dictionaries to learn words faster.

*36. Make your own vocabulary tests*

Sometimes the best way to know where your vocabulary needs improvement is to create tests for yourself. For instance, you can try to find how extensive your business vocabulary is, and fix any issues that come up.

*37. Find a writing partner*

Having someone you write with can make you more motivated to improve your vocabulary as you see how well or easily the other person uses words that might be a challenge for you.

*38. Learn collocations*

Knowing how words should be used with other words or phrases can greatly enhance your vocabulary. So, use collocations to enhance your vocabulary learning.

*39. Use word clouds*

Word clouds make learning new vocabulary fun by adding an artistic side to it. So, learn to use word clouds to enhance your learning of new words.

*40. Be creative and imaginative when learning vocabulary*

Learning a new word can seem tedious when your focus is simply saying it enough times to remember it.

So, try to be creative and employ imaginative ways of making the process of learning such words faster and exciting

*41. Avoid making random word lists*

Random word lists will not make mastering new vocabulary much easier. That is why it helps to learn vocabulary around one certain subject matter at a time.

*42. Use the vocabulary you learn in your own way*

Everyone uses certain words in a certain way. So, to improve your English vocabulary, you should try to use these words in your own way to master them faster.

*43. Assign different colors to different words*

Try to associate words with colors. This improves your ability to remember them in the future as it makes learning them more engaging.

*44. Learn groups of words*

Sometimes learning a bunch of new words together can make them easier to remember, especially when you can use a couple of them in a single sentence.

*45. Describe the world around you*

You can master the vocabulary and learn more of it by trying to describe the world around you. So, try to do this once in a while, and as your vocabulary grows, you will find your descriptions growing more succinct.

*46. Read more attentively*

When reading, pay closer attention to the words to ensure you learn new vocabulary. So, don’t let the hard words pass you by; instead, take time to learn what they mean.

*47. Listen to English music and follow the lyrics*

Songs can teach you a lot about a language. So, you can always listen to great English music and follow the lyrics to learn a few more words in an exciting way. Videos with the lyrics on the screen are especially helpful.

*48. Create special vocabulary lists*

Trying to form vocabulary lists can show you how far you have come, and how much further you can go in your pursuit of a broader vocabulary.

*49. Apply the new words you have learned in daily conversations*

After learning a new word and what it means, put the new knowledge to use by using the word in regular conversations. This will make you understand its context better.

*50. Set a goal of finding and remembering new words every day*

Every day should be an opportunity to learn new words. So, try to have a list of words you intend to learn every day.

Task 1 – 20 minutes

Task 2 – 40 minutes

Remember that Task 2 is worth two-thirds of the total marks in the Writing Test  so don’t do what some people have done in the past; spend so long on Task 1 that you have insufficient time for Task 2.

•    There is no rule about which task you do first (as long as they are clearly marked Before the exam think about which task you would prefer to do first; I have had many students who have started with Task 2.  Just make sure you mark your answers clearly on your answer sheet.

•    In Task 2, make sure you organise your time well; this means planning, writing and checking and editing.   Read the article The best IELTS essay writing procedure to look at my suggested timing for each stage.

Planning – 5-10 minutes

Writing – 20-30minutes

Checking and editing – 5-10 minutes

•    In Task 2, before you start planning your essay, always circle the key words in the question.  This will ensure that you stay focussed on the topic.  If you look at the Task 2 Band descriptors in the links section on this site, you will see that one of the criteria the Examiner marks your work on is ‘Task Response’.  Part of getting a good score in ‘Task Response’ is giving a relevant answer.

•    In Task 1, make sure you organise your time well; this means planning, writing and checking and editing.   Read the article The best IELTS essay writing procedure to look at my suggested timing for each stage.

Planning – 3-5 minutes

Writing – 10-15 minutes

Checking and editing – 3-5 minutes

•    When answering Academic Writing Task 1, circle the significant data on the graph. Then choose the order you are going to write about this data. Write the numbers 1, 2, 3 etc. on the graph to help you write the information logically in your answer.

•    When answering General Training Writing Task 1, circle the key words in the question to keep your answer focussed. Make sure you include all of the information requested in the bullet points. Finally, as a general rule, each bullet point will be a separate paragraph in your letter.
