  1. One more... Some say that it is more important for employers to consider academic qualifications rather than personal life experience and values when hiring an employee. Do you agree or disagree? What are positive and negative aspects of the issue? There is no doubt in saying that education and other qualifications make the person civilized. Proper education shows people the ideal path to live in a right manner rather than dragging the life. It is difficult to conclude whether employers should consider qualifications or personal experiences and values while hiring an employee, as both has its positives and negatives. These benefits and drawbacks will be analyzed before a reasoned conclusion is drawn. On the one side, it is believed that qualifications can be bought but values cannot. It is widely known that some developing countries have a lot of corruption and even schools or colleges are not apart from this. For instance, small universities or institutions sells graduate or masters degree certificates to earn short cut money. Furthermore, books can teach the person to do math, history or geography but they do not teach the pupils how to tackle difficult situations in working environment. For example, managers need special skills if they have to convince their juniors for overtime but his situation never arises in education institutions. Therefore, schools cannot teach everything. On the other hand, qualifications are the standards that companies set while hiring new employees but personal experiences or values cannot be static. For example, companies can ask for specific degree or certification as a job requirement but real life experiences cannot be treated as standards. Moreover, one cannot describe his/her own life in a short time of interview but proof of qualifications can be shown in a form of certificates. Also, employer cannot evaluate a person on the values he/she has but marks obtained in studies, can give an idea of the person intelligence to employer. In conclusion, following the analysis of both the point of views, it is agreed that qualifications are better to consider while hiring new employees. Assessing person on qualifications is easier than judging anyone on the personal life experiences, which cannot be seen at the time of interview. It is predicted that employers will continue recruit candidates on the qualifications they have.
  2. Many people have to retire at the age 60 or 65. However, some suggest that these people should be allowed to work for as long as they wish. What are the pros and cons of this situation? “Old is gold” is a common phenomena is commonly used for old things. Old people of the family considered as pillars of the family, who holds the responsibilities of the family on their shoulders. The argument whether old people should work beyond normal retirement age is supported and refuted by many. Advantages and disadvantages of this situation will be analyzed before a reasoned conclusion is drawn. To begin with, young brains play an important role in the growth of any country’s economy but they have to struggle a lot to get the job. Unless existing old employees do not leave, companies do not hire new people. For example, if Xyz Company needs 10 employees to accomplish all of their tasks and 2 of them are of age 70 and, if they are not willing to retire, company would not be able to hire young talent. Therefore it is clear from the example that old people should retire willingly at the normal retirement age to leave the place for young talented people. On the other hand, old people are the main assets of any country. Practical experience earned by old people in number of years cannot be replaced by any education in the world. For example, company’s senior positions are always filled by experienced people as these positions require lots of experience. Due to this, companies do not mind keeping old people on these positions. Also, if old people work till later stages of their age, they do not get burden on family or society. Thus government will not have to provide them financial support. After analyzing both the point of views, it is clearly seen that benefits of old age people working for long time are more than its drawbacks. Perhaps, young talent should get more opportunities but throwing old people aside is not a good idea. These old people are foundation of any country. Thus, it is recommended that old people should be allowed to work as long as they want, so that they can serve the country and society.
  3. Hi Mike, Whenever you get a chance, could you check my essay and let me know if you see any improvement in my writing skills. Regards, Some people prefer to live in a house, while others think that there are more advantages living in an apartment. Are there more advantages than disadvantages to living in a house rather than in an apartment? Choosing accommodation between houses or apartments has been a difficult question among people for decades. Both the choices have different pros and cons. The argument of picking one over another will be discussed by showing their benefits and drawbacks. Firstly, living in a house gives ample space to the residents and they can have garage, gardens and terrace space. People who love to stay in peace and calm places, prefers houses over apartments. For instance, there is big gap between two houses in western countries and occupants hardly talk to each other. On the other side, multiple apartments are built up in one building and usually they are adjacent to each other. Due to this closeness, one can hear the voice of other’s footsteps in wooden made apartments. On the contrary, staying in apartments gives enough security which we cannot avail in individual houses. For example, Guards remain alert 24x7 in apartments to save people from thefts and other crimes. This makes people live fearlessly and allow them to sleep peacefully. However, in houses there are no such security guards and people would have to pay more money if they want to hire anyone for the same. Also, apartments allow residents to have interaction with each other so that they can build healthy relationship among themselves. Apart from security and interaction, there are other benefits including electricity backup, clubs and gymnasium etc are provided by apartments. In conclusion, Choosing between these two options is clearly depends on the preferences people have. Although, after discussing both the points of view, one can say that living in apartments having more benefits than staying in individual houses. It is predicted that people will prefer apartments over houses in near future.
  4. Thank you again Mike for all your help. I'll start soon and see how much progress I am having. Please see if you could check letter whenever you get time.
  5. Can you also check my letter writing and let me know how can i improve that one as well? You have decided to leave your current employment. Write a letter to your employer. Include the following in your letter: - Explain why you are writing - Explain why you have decided to leave the company - Tell your employer what you plan to do after leaving your present employment I am writing to inform you that I am leaving this organization effective from 15th August, 2013. I am planning to go abroad for my higher studies so cannot continue with this job. It was very difficult to take this decision as I have spent almost 5 years with this company and made lot of good friends. I have learnt a lot from you and other seniors in my tenure. I was trying to go to Australia for my higher studies and looking to get good marks in my IELTS which I eventually scored last week. Now I will start my Masters in Melbourne, Australia and will look forward to make a career there. I would like to thank you for being so grateful and for all the guidance you provided during the period of my employment. I came all alone but leaving with immense knowledge which I gained in this company. I will look forward to be in touch with you through personal email address and mobile. Yours faithfully, XYZ
  6. Thank you for your thorough feedback. I am feeling much better now. I gave IELTS once but manage to score 6.5 overall having 7 in reading and Listening & 6 in Speaking and Writing so need improvement in these 2 areas. I think I deserve better score in Speaking but may be that was bad day. I have downloaded ample material for IELTS and doing some practice to get better. So what you think, How much time it could take for me to get better and remove bugs in my writing?
  7. Thanks so much for your feedback. I would definitely work on them. So you believe I need to work on structure of the essay and organize that in a better way to get 7 band... I need to apply for Australian Immigration and need 7 each. Thanks again for your help!
  8. Some parents and teachers believe that children’s behaviour should be strictly controlled, while others think that children should be allowed to grow up in their own way. Discuss both views and give your own opinion. It is generally accepted that children’s behavior plays a vital role in their lives. Parents feel proud if their kids show good etiquette in front of their friends and family. Also, Teachers are the one who helps a child to learn different values in their childhood. I tend to believe that children should be raised under the shadow of their parents and shouldn't know allow them much freedom. First of all, Childhood is the learning stage for any human being. If children are not raised with good moral values they can be easily fall into bad company. Parents should be aware where their children are going to play and with whom. For instance, Children use the internet extensively these days but that should be allowed under the shadow of mature person. They may misuse the internet by surfing through porn sites or getting into trouble while chatting. I would like to share another example where kids start boozing in a teenage if they are not controlled by their parents properly. Moreover, few teachers are really watchful and see what children are doing in the classroom or in school. They keep an eye on their students all the time stops them right away if they find them doing any mischief. On the contrary, there are some parents and teachers who believe otherwise. They feel that giving freedom makes their children more responsible and independent. Also, Parents want to give their children a proper space in their lives. They think that having more strictness may make their children more stubborn and they will start hiding things from their parents. Some experts say that parents and teachers should behave like a friend with children so that they feel free to share anything with them. If we look at both sides of the argument, I would say that children should be controlled in a proper balance so that they follow good life ethics in their lives without losing their freedom. As we say, “Try not to become a man of success but a man of value”.
  9. Could someone check my essay and provide me a feedback with IELTS band. Please check for Grammar, Cohesion and Lexical resource and suggest me to improve my writing. Your help will be highly appreciated!
