WRITING TASK-2 (ESSAY TOPIC)

Task - 2

Should education and healthcare be free of charge and funded by the government, or should it be the responsibility of the people to pay for these services?

Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

Sample Answer ▼

It is irrefutable that a country's growth depends on how educated its inhabitants are and how healthy they are. The burgeoning population of the nation makes it quite harder for the ruling authority to bear the expenses of their needs. I believe that an effective solution would be to divide the expenditures between the government and the individuals. I will support this view with arguments in the following paragraphs.

Education, nowadays, plays a vital role in the development of a society. Not only it creates job opportunities, but also help in making people more aware of the socio-economic issues of the country. Making education free till the age of 18 would encourage the pupils to clear their secondary education at least. For instance, the percentage of students enrolled in grade 10 in 2011 has increased by 19% as compared to 2009, when the government exempted fee of students in class 10.<br /><br />Moreover, healthcare system can also be improved by providing either health insurance or schemes that covers more than 50% of the cost of the misfortune. It will not only reduce the fear of facing difficulties but will also contribute to the mitigation of crimes committed by people in difficult times. Furthermore, a healthier society can help the nation to achieve greater heights and make it proud. Consequently, the economic growth will get bolstered.

To conclude, with the implementation of the said measures there would be no burden on either the government or individuals. Both the government and individuals can go hand in hand to cope with this and build an enlightened and healthy nation.

WRITING TASK-2 (ESSAY TOPIC)

Task - 2 Some people say that economic growth is the only way to end hunger and poverty, while others say that economic growth is damaging the environment so it must be stopped.  Discuss both views and give your opinion. Sample Answer ▼ It is true that some people contend that economic growth is the only solution to the global problems of hunger and poverty. Others, however, argue for an end to economic growth in order to conserve our environment. I agree completely with this second view. Those who see economic growth alone as the sole cure for the tragedy of world hunger and poverty propose one major argument. Only the growth of the economies of the developing countries will provide the poor with the wealth to afford the basic necessities of life. The profits made by corporations who are responsible for this economic growth will trickle down in the form of financial benefits to be enjoyed by the starving and needy. This view has justified the age of imperialis...

Reading (AR)

READING PASSAGE -1 The Great Australian Fence A war has been going on for almost a hundred years between the sheep farmers of Australia and the dingo, Australia’s wild dog. To protect their livelihood, the farmers built a wire fence, 3,307 miles of continuous wire mesh, reaching from the coast of South Australia all the way to the cotton fields of eastern Queensland, just short of the Pacific Ocean. The Fence is Australia’s version of the Great Wall of China, but even longer, erected to keep out hostile invaders, in this case hordes of yellow dogs. The empire it preserves is that of the woolgrowers, sovereigns of the world’s second largest sheep flock, after China’s - some 123 million head - and keepers of a wool export business worth four billion dollars. Never mind that more and more people - conservationists, politicians, taxpayers and animal lovers - say that such a barrier would never be allowed today on ecological grounds. With sections of it almost a hu...
