In conclusion, there are plus points to speak one language globally regarding
better understanding, trade facilitation, and decreasing discrimination. However, the
downside would emerge consequently in terms of the loss of cultural diversity, the lack
of motivation to explore the world, and a minus point for language intelligence.
Type 2: Sample
It is clear that to communicate in one global language would bring about many
advantages for the whole society from each individual to the government. One
evident strength for each person is that it would reduce the language barrier, thereby
encouraging people's confidence in interacting with others from different areas of the
world. Many people, especially the elderly, may no longer be afraid of foreign languages
and can freely travel everywhere. In addition, governments can easily enhance
diplomatic activities and discussions with better understanding. This would lead to
numerous subsequent outcomes, such as saving national budget from reducing
enormous translation and interpretation costs of international meetings and
conferences.
Task
Space travel has been possible for some time and some people believe that space
tourism could be developed in the future.
Write at least 250 words. Use the outline below to help you.
Idea 1: Operating spaceships requires a lot of energy (from fossil fuels) and releases a
large amount of emissions deplete the natural resources and cause global warming
environmental degradation.

Some people believe the aim of university education is to help graduates get better
jobs. Others believe there are much wider benefits of university education for both
individuals and society.
However, there are other benefits for individuals and society. Firstly, the
independence of living away from home is a benefit because it helps the students
develop better social skills and improve as a person. A case in point is that many
students will have to leave their families, live in halls of residence and meet new
friends. As a result, their maturity and confidence will grow to enable them to live more
fulfilling lives. Secondly, society will gain from the contribution that the graduates can
make to the economy. We are living in a very competitive world, so countries need
educated people in order to compete and prosper.
Some people believe that studying at university or college is the best route to a
successful career, while others believe that it is better to get a job straight after
school.
On the one hand, the option to start work straight after school is attractive for
several reasons. Many young people want to start earning money as soon as possible. In
this way, they can become independent, and they will be able to afford their own house
or start a family. In terms of their career, young people who decide to find work, rather
than continue their studies, may progress more quickly. They will have the chance to
gain real experience and learn practical skills related to their chosen profession. This
may lead to promotions and a successful career.
On the other hand, I believe that it is more beneficial for students to continue
their studies. Firstly, academic qualifications are required in many professions. For
example, it is impossible to become a doctor, teacher or lawyer without having a
relevant degree. As a result, university graduates have access to more and better job
opportunities, and they tend to earn higher salaries than those with fewer
qualifications. Secondly, the job market is becoming increasingly competitive, and
sometimes there are hundreds of applicants for one position in a company. Young
people who do not have qualifications from a university or college will not be able to
compete.
In some countries an increasing number of people are suffering from health problems
as a result of eating too much fast food. It is therefore necessary for governments to
impose a higher tax on this kind of food.
It is argued that governments should levy a tariff on junk food because the
number of health risks associated with consuming this kind of food is on the rise. I
completely agree that a higher rate of tax should be paid by fast food companies.
Higher excise on liqueur and cigarettes has proven to be successful at curbing the
harm caused by these substances. This revenue has been used to treat health problems
associated with these products and has proven useful in advertising campaigns warning
people about the dangers of alcohol and tobacco abuse. Tax from fast food could be
used in the same way. The United Kingdom is a prime example, where money from
smokers is used to treat lung cancer and heart disease.
Increasing taxes would raise prices and lower consumption. Fast food companies
would pass on these taxes to consumers in the form of higher prices and this would lead
to people not being able to afford junk food because it is too expensive. Junk food
would soon become a luxury item and it would only be consumed occasionally, which
would be less harmful to the general public’s health. For instance, the cost of organic
food has proven prohibitively expensive for most people and that is why only a small
percentage of the population buy it regularly.
In conclusion, junk food should be taxed at a higher rate because of the good
precedent set by alcohol and tobacco and the fact that the increased cost should reduce
the amount of fast food people buy.
Universities should accept equal numbers of male and female students in every
subject.
In my opinion, men and women should have the same educational opportunities.
However, I do not agree with the idea of accepting equal proportions of each gender in
every university subject.
The first reason for this is because having the same number of men and women
on all degree courses is simply unrealistic. Student numbers on any course depend on
the applications that the institution receives. If a university decided to fill courses with
equal numbers of males and females, it would need enough applicants of each gender.
In reality, many courses are more popular with one gender than the other, and it would
not be practical to aim for equal proportions. For example, nursing courses tend to
attract more female applicants, and it would be difficult to fill these courses if fifty per
cent of the places needed to go to males.
In addition to the concern above, I also believe that it would be unfair to base
admission to university courses on gender. Universities should continue to select the
best candidates for each course according to their qualifications. In this way, both men
and women have the same opportunities, and applicants know that they will be
successful if they work hard to achieve good grades at school. If a female student is the
best candidate for a place on a course, it would be wrong to reject her in favour of a
male student with lower grades or fewer qualifications.
Families who send their children to private schools should not be required to pay
taxes that support the state education system.
Some people believe that parents of children who attend private schools should
not need to contribute to state schools through taxes. Personally, I completely disagree
with this view.
For a variety of reasons, it would be wrong to reduce taxes for families who pay
for private education. Firstly, it would be difficult to calculate the correct amount of tax
reduction for these families, and the staff would be required to manage this complex
process. Secondly, we all pay a certain amount of tax for public services that we may
not use. For example, most people are fortunate enough not to have to call the police or
fire brigade at any time in their lives, but they would not expect a tax reduction for
this. Finally, if wealthy families were given a tax discount for sending their children to
private schools, we might have a situation where poorer people pay higher taxes than
the rich.
Foreign visitors should pay more than local visitors for cultural and historical
attractions.
It is sometimes argued that tourists from overseas should be charged more than
local residents to visit important sites and monuments. I completely disagree with this
idea.
If travellers realised that they would have to pay more to visit historical and
cultural attractions in a particular nation, they would perhaps decide not to go to that
country on holiday. To take the UK as an example, the tourism industry and many
related jobs rely on visitors coming to the country to see places like Windsor Castle or
Saint Paul’s Cathedral. These two sites charge the same price regardless of nationality,
and this helps to promote the nation’s cultural heritage. If overseas tourists stopped
coming due to higher prices, there would be a risk of insufficient funding for the
maintenance of these important buildings.
