Agree/Disagree essay
Write the Introduction paragraph for each of the following essay questions ( IELTS Writing Task 2 – Academic & General Test)
1. It is sometimes thought that people who travel outside of their own country are more tolerant and understanding of others.
To what extent do you agree?
keywords : travel , foreign countries, understanding, tolerant to other ideas.
In recent times, a clash of contradictory ideas has increased dramatically. People who are born into an isolated community or a classless society are often at odds with people born into a society with different values. To overcome this conflict, people should explore other people’s cultures , and that can only be accomplished by travelling. I completely agree that to cultivate a cosmopolitan outlook sympathetic to other people’s views , the essential thing to do is to travel to those places and meet inhabitants of those unknown lands.
2. Some people say that women are more peaceful than men as their characters are naturally more nurturing than aggressive.
To what extent do you agree with this?
keywords : women peaceful , characters, nurturing, aggressive
We human beings have a natural impulse to be peaceful and amicable in our relations with fellow human beings. Yet, sympathy and compassion are mostly regarded as feminine traits, while men are considered to be less capable of showing compassion for others. Although this argument has a modicum of truth, I completely disagree with it. Scientific evidence as well as the effect of social environment on a person’s behavior will show this.
3. It is common nowadays for each member of the family to have their own piece of modern technology. some people think that this will lead to a breakdown in family relationships and communication.
To what extent do you agree?
Globalization and revolution in technology has made it customary for each member of the family to possess an electronic gadget. Faster means of communication has reduced the world to a small village, as a person living in a distant country is just a few clicks or phone call away. Yet, having better means of communication has made a negative impact on family relationships and communication between members of a family. I agree with this statement. Analyzing the rise in the cases of depression and increased cases of divorce will show this.
4. Some people think that poverty is the reason behind most crimes. Do you agree or disagree?
keywords : poverty, crime, the reason for it
There are many social as well as economic ( not economical ) causes behind increased crime rates. Out of these, poverty has been widely regarded as the fertile ground for criminal activities. I completely agree that underprivileged people are more prone to resort to criminal activities. ( or I completely agree that dire circumstances induce people to resort to criminal activities)
5. Nowadays children watch a lot of TV and play video games. However, some people think that these activities are not good for a child’s mental health.
To what extent do you agree or disagree?
keywords : children, TV and video games, mental health
Video games and television are popular means of entertainment among children during their leisure time. But research has shown that gaming takes precedence over other interests and daily activities which ultimately leads to deteriorating effects on a child’s psychological health. In my opinion, a developing brain of a child is adversely affected by video games and television.
