WRITING TASK-2 (ESSAY TOPIC)

Task - 2

Some people say that international sporting events contribute greatly to peace and stability in the world.

To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

Sample Answer ▼

In ancient times, sports used to be considered a juvenile activity which was only confined to parks and indoors. While today sports have pushed the boundaries and have attracted national and international audiences and players. So, there is no denying that sports have the power to unite the world and maintain global peace and I completely agree with this viewpoint.

Undoubtedly, sports at international level play a sterling role in diplomatic relations among different nations. Owing to historical or political reasons, not all the countries are at peace with each other. Admittedly, sports evoke the similar pleasure and satisfaction as a victory in war does but brings nations together. Moreover, global sports events can be icebreaker as competitors from nations create a common platform for global leaders, organizations, and athletes to interact in more convenient and sophisticated way. A good illustration is the Olympic games in which the whole world can be brought together and this has a positive impact on maintaining global harmony.

Furthermore, sports evokes high nationalistic passions towards the country along with providing a platform for patriotic emotions to be released. It is a constructive way to exhibit one's patriotic emotions. Even, International game events such as Commonwealth games bring recognition to small countries. For instance, it is difficult to locate the West Indies and Bermuda on the world map, however, they are well-known countries just because of their cricket teams which always participate in the Cricket World Cup. By and large, the sport is the only activity which delivers a clear message of peace and paves the road to building world harmony.

To reiterate, sports activity is a positive channeling of energy which kills negativity and brings peace and joy to the world.

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 (GT)

READING PASSAGE -1 The Earth A) The Earth is the third planet from the Sun and it is the only planet known to have life on it. The Earth formed around 4.5 billion years ago. It is one of four rocky planets on the inside of the Solar System. The other three are Mercury, Venus, and Mars. B) The large mass of the Sun makes the Earth move around it, just as the mass of the Earth makes the Moon move around it. The Earth also turns round in space, so different parts face the Sun at different times. The Earth goes around the Sun once (one "year") for every 365¼ times it turns all the way around (one "day"). C) The Moon goes around the Earth about every 27⅓ days, and reflects light from the Sun. As the Earth goes round the Sun at the same time, the changing light of the Moon takes about 29½ days to go from dark to bright to dark again. That is where the idea of "month" came from. However, now most months have 30 or 31 days so they fit into ...
