WRITING TASK-2 (ESSAY TOPIC)

Task - 2

Governments spend a lot of money on public celebrations such as national holidays and public festivals. Some people say that the government spends too much on this and that they should use this money on other useful things.
Do you agree or disagree?

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

Sample Answer ▼

Commemoration of important national events is a part of a nation's pride and a way to show respects to its tradition and history. Such events are instrumental in motivating the new generation to be patriots and bestow tribute to people whose contributions are unforgettable. Thus the amount spent on such celebrations is justified.

To begin with, public ceremonies are important in terms of spreading nationality, giving mass people a reason to forget their differences and improving public relations. The amount spent on such events are often disputed by many and they suggest that the government should designate this budget for more urgent needs. Reasonable their arguments might seem, but it is no way practical and the importance of observing national events is unparalleled. These celebrations, for example, teach us who we really are, how much our ancestors sacrificed to give us a better country and how we are all the same as a nation. In my early childhood, I did not show an acute interest in the history of our country until I noticed the way people observe the day and how the whole nation remembers the sacrifices of martyrs. If we want a future generation who would adhere to our nationality, we need to commemorate our significant national days.

Now getting back to using the fund on more important things - a government already has a plan in place for disaster recovery and using funds for an emergency. Each important sector in a country already gets a lion share of the national budget and we need to focus more on prudently using the fund for the true development, not switching fund from one sector to another. Finally, festivals are people's fundamental rights and a government should always support such public festivals including religious and national galas to prove that the authority works for the public, not against them.

To conclude, public celebrations and a government's role to organise it and using the national fund to support it has a great influence in fostering nationality, showing a government's support to the people and this is why the amount spent for such events are essential.

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...
