This question is understandable as English is not the primary language of many of my students. People in Kazakhstan speak Russian primarily, and Kazakh as their secondary language.</p><p>My tips has been to read a lot and practice a lot. In my view, you can improve the general understanding of any language by reading a lot in that language. So, the knowledge of English can be improved by reading a lot in English. You can start reading first with simple short texts and go on reading complex thematic books, such as books on arts, literature, science, fiction and non-fiction.</p><p>Reading a lot of English text will help you to improve your English language skill, and will eventually help you in getting good IELTS Score (band) in your IELTS test</p><p style="background-color: #c0a154; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.524px;"><span style="background-color: #cccccc; font-family: georgia;">******</span></p><p style="background-color: #c0a154; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.524px;"><span style="background-color: #cccccc; font-family: georgia;">To help expats in Kazakhstan, I regularly post on two sites: expat.com (<a href="https://www.expat.com/en/blog/asia/kazakhstan/astana/astana-almaty.blogspot.com" style="color: #cc3300; text-decoration-line: none;">https://www.expat.com/en/blog/asia/kazakhstan/astana/astana-almaty.blogspot.com</a>).

There are very good private universities, and general standard of school education has also improved. English language is spoken by many people now, and the young generation is quite keen to learn and speak English. The university in Almaty - KIMEP and Nazarbayev University in Astana (Nursultan) teach students almost all the courses in English. With internationally educated professors, and international faculty, English has been the only medium of instructions in Nazarbayev University. This I can vouch from my own experience.</p><p>Also, the English Education Landscape has changed a lot when it comes to Secondary or English Education. The Schools like NIS (Nazarbayev Intellectual Schools) has contributed a lot in this.</p><p><br /></p><p style="background-color: #c0a154; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.524px;"><span style="background-color: #cccccc; font-family: georgia;">******</span></p><p style="background-color: #c0a154; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.524px;"><span style="background-color: #cccccc; font-family: georgia;">To help expats in Kazakhstan, I regularly post on two sites: expat.com (<a href="https://www.expat.com/en/blog/asia/kazakhstan/astana/astana-almaty.blogspot.com" style="color: #cc3300; text-decoration-line: none;">https://www.expat.com/en/blog/asia/kazakhstan/astana/astana-almaty.blogspot.com</a>).

I flew to Istanbul, Turkey and thereafter, I was supposed to go to Uzbekistan but Uzbekistan COVID-19 rules did not allow to enter me there or transit via them. That's why I had to change the flight to Almaty from Istanbul. It was a very difficult, expensive affair. Ultimately, I landed in Almaty and then, headed to Astana by Air Astana. I hope this situation would not have to face by anyone ever.</p><p style="color: #333333;">2. My residence permit in Kazakhstan got expired as I had lived more than 181 days outside Kazakhstan. The official process of Residence Card cancellation was undertaken after going to Migration Police Office located in Amangeldi Street. I had taken C-2 (Family Reunion Visa) from Delhi, India before flying to Kazakhstan and there was no issue about Visa.</p><p style="color: #333333;"><span style="background-color: #cccccc; font-family: georgia;">******</span></p><p style="color: #333333;"><span style="background-color: #cccccc; font-family: georgia;">To help expats in Kazakhstan, I regularly post on two sites: expat.com (<a href="https://www.expat.com/en/blog/asia/kazakhstan/astana/astana-almaty.blogspot.com" style="color: #cc3300; text-decoration-line: none;">https://www.expat.com/en/blog/asia/kazakhstan/astana/astana-almaty.blogspot.com</a>).

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I have seen that many people face difficulties while answering questions in IELTS Speaking Test in Astana, Kazakhstan. In IELTS, speaking is generally the same for both Academic IELTS and General IELTS takers. So, the nature of questions and the expectations of answers from you is the same irrespective of the fact that you are appearing for General or Academic IELTS.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In Astana, Kazakhstan, an attempt has been made by the Government to introduce English as the third language after Russian and Kazakh. So, there is a rise of English speakers especially in the big towns such as in Astana and in Almaty, but, still, there is much to be desired.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Many young people who manage to speak English suffer from being unable to maintain fluency, lack of words & vocabulary and above all, lack of practice. Many people who speak English resort to translation of words from Russian language (their first language) and their speech suffers. You can see it on sentence construction, words placement and order, choice of words etc.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In this background, it's always a challenge to Kazakhstani students to get a good band especially in the Speaking section of IELTS. They simply fumble during the test, making all kinds of mistakes. But, that does not mean they don't try, or should not try. I appreciate their efforts and this blogpost is to help them.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In this post, I have taken few sample Speaking Questions from Past Papers of IELTS Test published as Cambridge IELTS 6 with Answers published by University of Cambridge ESOL Examinations. If you search on Google as Cambridge Practice Set 6 Speaking Questions, you should find plenty of them.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So, let us look at Test 1, Speaking Part - I.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1. Do you enjoy Dancing? (Why?/Why not?)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It's an easy question. Anyone can answer it. If you like dancing, you should say, "Yes, I like it" and if you don't, then, No. But, IELTS speaking test is not a test only about saying yes or no. There is where the tricks lie. I mean you are expected to show your speaking ability. This is where I would help you.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So, what should be the ideal good answer? Any answer which uses a lot of English words on the topic of liking or disliking dancing. That's it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Look at the Sample answer below.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><b><br /></b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><i><b> <<Maybe you should try first, I will come back with an ideal (and one of such examples) answer on this one in my next post>></b></i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Until then, keep on practicing to enhance your ilets speaking practice.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div>

In fact, Welcome back to myself. This has been after 3.5 (three and half) years I decided to be back in this blog. I hope my information and materials in this blog will be helpful for visitors in Kazakhstan and others who are looking for many different materials on the web. A bit about myself:</p><p>I left Kazakhstan in March, 2019 and these days, I am in Nepal. I am bit distanced from teaching at the moment. But, if it may be that I will be back in Astana (Nur-sultan) around 2022 or 2023 AD. I was there in Nursultan, Kazakhstan in August-September, 2021 and things looked preety cool even post COVID-19 Pandemic.

With vaccines being rolled out in many people around the world, the world is opening, is trying to be normal, is trying to get back to business as usual. The borders are opening, and many countries have started, albeit slowly, to open their arms to welcome international students.</p><p>For any foreign (international) students, the popular destinations are Australia, Canada, America, and many European countries. I think people would answer me that they are keen to fly to the Australia or America if asked about their higher education. And, to be in all your dream destinations, IELTS Score is one of such important criteria.</p><p>I saw a recent Post from a popular educational consultancy, and they had informed that classes with in-person attendance is going to start soon<i style="font-weight: bold;">. </i>This advertisement was mainly directed to prospective IELTS Students.</p><p>My message to all prospective IELTS Candidates is that you need to have good skills in English to have a great score in IELTS Test.

<span style="text-align: left;">I am not a Professional Photographer. I am just like any other ordinary person who likes to click anything interesting that comes on the way. While walking on the river side (on the river bank of ISIL/ESHIM River in Astana on the right bank), I clicked above photos by using my very old iPhone 4. All the photos were clicked on a single day, I guess in the month of July, 2017. <b>And, I am yet to figure out how to correctly pronounce/write the name of the River. Is it an ESHIL River, or is it ESHIM River?</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So far as I remember now, the day must have been warm, not very hot and Sunny, with mild pleasing breeze.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1. The first photo shows three top buildings of Astana which are collectively called "Grand Alatau". They look cool from a far distance. From close distance, I did not like them in terms of modernity, they are little old now.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I usually go around these buildings as it houses a bicycle shop (but not very helpful one as it refused to refill my tyres with its airpump and in another occassions, it overcharged me for some bicycle oil. Therefter, I stopped going there.), the famous O'hara Irish Pub (Where I have never been to), many cafes and restaurants including Rumi-Plov Center (Rumi is highly overrated Plov Center. I have been to there many different branches and they have not been able to impress me.). The area around it is good for walking, bicycling though bicycling on the river bank is not allowed anymore.</div>

Pedestrian Zone on the right bank of River ISHIL/ESHIM - it's truly a pedestrian area. You can see many people during the summer freely walking here. Many mothers with young children and with their trollies/prams/buggies are easily spotted. You could ride bicycle here until 2015 but from 2016 Summer, it has been off-limit for the bicycle users. During the Summer, you will see few traffic police here to manage the crowds and especially to warn and stop bicycle users.</div>

get an excellent employment mostly after completing their university and
college and looks for such job which can provide financial security and
happiness in life. Therefore, job satisfaction, which can be derived based on
person’s likeness and earnings, is an important element of any work.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="background: white; color: #141823; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">First of all, if a person is to like any work,
the job needs to have several characteristics such as good salary and bonuses,
sufficient hours for rest, healthy workplace and environment, job security and
involvement of light physical activities. Ideally, the job should have a scope
of work where an employee is given freedom of execution. Importantly, such jobs
should also commensurate the monthly payouts to give satisfaction to its
holders.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

to all employees, it is unlikely that everyone becomes happy with the work he
gets. It is important to note that we don’t live and work in an ideal work. The
unemployment rate is so high around the world that a well qualified person may
have to engage in a work which cannot provide any real satisfaction. However,
given the situation, the person may not have any other possibility except to
accept such employment. For example, many mine workers are unlikely to enjoy
their work in deep, dark and dusty quarry but circumstances are such that they
end up working there all their lives. Similar would be the case of many
international students working in a café or in a bar to cover their tuition
fees. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

any work to support their families despite the lack of job satisfaction. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"><b><u>Sample Answer:</u></b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;">Across the world, there is no dearth of people who consider that teaching history at educational institution is unproductive and is a waste of resources. The people who advocate such ideas are of the opinion that schools and colleges should impart education on such subjects which have more practical use. Nevertheless, my opinion on the subject is that we must teach history to our children. Therefore, we cannot do away with this subject.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;">First of all, history helps us to find our roots and connects us with our past which will be very helpful to young learners to shape their views of the modern world. If history is not taught in our schools and universities, people will not get any opportunity to view the contemporary world with the help of past events. In some cases, not teaching history can actually lead to a situation where students fail to fully comprehend the happenings around them. For example, why a country needs a strong army could possibly be best explained on the basis of historical facts and figures. Therefore, study of historical events is very significant from the viewpoint of understanding modern world.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;">In addition to it, if history subject is replaced with another course, students may be burdened with unnecessary knowledge in another subject. The likely consequences of it could range from lack of interests among students to defective education systems. When students who have not studied history go to work in international forums, they may face several challenges. For example, without learning world history, no one can be expected to be able to work smoothly in the UN.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;">To sum up, modern schools should not think of removing history subject from their curriculum. Any such move is likely to have unintended consequences such as lack of interests among students in their course of study.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Many
people seem to have a common opinion when it comes to use of technology by
young people. There are arguments in support of it and against it as there are
equally overwhelming number of people on either side of the argument. In my
opinion, children should be allowed to make use of technology on daily life as
it helps them to be creative in a long run.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">First
of all, many parents are worried that children are not focusing on their study
but are busy in browsing internet or in games on mobiles and tablets. It cannot
be denied that excessive use of technology can affect their studies. For
example, a child who plays a lot on his mobile or on tablet is likely to miss
deadline for his homework and assignments. If such situations continue, it is a
matter to worry as it can have negative consequences. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">On
the other hand, there are many guardians who give their children the liberty to
make use of modern technology. Such parents encourage children to utilize technology
not only for play and fun but also in studies. Sometimes, parents take their
time out and assist their sons and daughters to find out new educational programs
and websites. Such parents hold the view that the technology is very important
to succeed in the future and their children need to have necessary skill and
experience for their prosperous future. My parents, for example, always allow
and encourage my brother to search for new mobile applications, which help him
to write better English composition.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">To
sum up, though there are parents with different approach to technological
advances, it is my view that technology is going to be an integral part of our
life and of future generation. Therefore, it is recommended that parents guide
their children to make effective use of modern technologies in their daily
activities.<br clear="all" style="mso-special-character: line-break; page-break-before: always;" />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Our
cities are overcrowded with people from different backgrounds and provide an
opportunity for people with all intentions. One of the impacts of high
population in cities can be seen in the rates of crimes. In my view, we can
safely state that the high costs of living and the lack of proper law and order
in the cities are the main causes of crimes in the big towns.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">First
of all, villages are small and very few people live there these days. The daily
requirement of material things in the countryside is also very low. The costs
of living such as rent, costs of transportation are much less in village than
in cities. I think this explains why fewer crimes are committed in the
villages.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">On
the other hand, people settle down in cities with a lot of hopes and ambitions.
They have to struggle daily to meet the basic needs of their families. This
means that there will be high financial burden on the people. To meet such
challenges, people resort to financial crimes, for instance, corruption,
bribery, theft, and robbery in villages. To solve such problems, government
needs to enhance the police administration, install cameras on the streets and
with the offices. Such measures are likely to help to reduce these crimes to
certain extent.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Another
reason of people mainly youth committing crime is lack of moral principle due
to the reason that they are far from their parents and families. Many youths
come to city and live alone. They are likely to meet some anti-social elements
such as drug dealers, and smugglers. Young minds are likely to be attracted to
such crimes to quickly be rich and powerful. This problem can be solved by
constant moral counseling. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"><br /></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">To
sum up, the pressure of cost of living, and tendency to be affluent in short
time induces people to commit crimes in cities and the solutions to tackle them

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;">There are many government initiatives across the world to control the environmental pollution and one of such initiatives is promotion of public transportation. In my opinion, such efforts do not have many advantages and in fact, its shortcomings are much more than few benefits that we may have.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;">First of all, the advantages of encouraging the use of public transportation are less consumption of fossil fuels and congestion on the road. However, these positives consequences are negligible if a comparison is made between merits and demerits of public transportation. If people stop using their cars and taxis, then, there will be enormous pressure on the government to provide public transportations such as buses, metros and trams. This will certainly put a financial pressure on the government. There is a possibility that the government may be compelled to allocate fewer budgets on health and education, and more on transportation segment. Such scenario will have serious and deleterious consequences.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;">Another serious outcome of not using cars is that workers have to get up early, and leave home much early in the morning to catch the suitable means of transport to reach the office on time. This will disturb the normal day of every human resources. Since public vehicles will stop at multiple locations before reaching one’s destination, a lot of man hours are wasted while commuting from home and from work. Similar would be the case when an employee returns from work in the evening. Since the travelling with many large crowds creates fatigue, the quality of works also gets affected due to it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;">In my conclusion, I would like to state that any benefit that may accrue from the use of public transportation is likely to be insignificant as the disadvantages are too many to neglect. </span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">We
cannot deny the fact that many school going children these days eat unhygienic food.
In my opinion, the problem is caused mainly by lack of attendance at home and
in school. Therefore, I agree that the family as well as the school
administration should share the blame and do to improve the situation.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">First
of all, it is the responsibility of our family to teach the importance of
healthy and hygienic food to their sons and daughters from their childhood.
Every child should be made aware of the positive and negative consequences of
eating good and bad food. In addition to it, parents should find time to
prepare and provide nutritious food to their kin and kith. At present, the
parents do not have enough time to spend with their children. Because of the
heavy workload or being out of the home most of the time, parents are unable to
cook and feed healthy dishes to their children. This has created havoc in the
health of child.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">On
the other hand, school administration should step in such situations to avoid
the problem. Since many young boys and girls spend a lot of time at school,
health education should be made part of their curriculum. The teachers can
closely observe the students and will be able to identify the children at risks
due to unhealthy eating habits. Schools, for instance, can create a concept of
mid-day meals, and provide healthy and nutritious diet to their students. In my
opinion, by doing so, schools will help to resolve the problem to certain
extent.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

sum up, I would like to restate my opinion by emphasizing the fact that both family
and learning centers should play its part to mitigate the damage caused by unhealthy
food consumption. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b>Tips for the Writing test - Task 2 - General & Academic Writing Task - 2-IELTS Writing</b><br />
<br />
In Task 2 you will be asked to write an essay in response to a point of view, argument or problem. You can use a fairly personal (informal) style. The question may ask you to say why you agree or disagree with the statement in the question or ask you to outline the advantages or disadvantages to a general statement.<br />
<br />
It’s best to approach this task with a method to ensure you answer the question correctly, structure it appropriately and have enough time to write well.<br />
<br />
Here are some tips to approach the task:<br />
<br />
<b>Planning and Organising</b><br />
<br />
Read the question carefully and underline the key words<br />
<br />
Decide what structure to use. Most Task 2 questions will ask you to discuss or analyse an issue in terms of advantages/disadvantages and/or take a position by agreeing or disagreeing. This means you can almost always use a four paragraph structure, for example:<br />
<br />
<b>Advantages/disadvantages question </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
- Introduction: paraphrase the question and give a general answer<br />
that will summarise your opinion<br />
- Main paragraph 1: what are the advantages<br />
- Main paragraph 2: what are the disadvantages<br />
- Conclusion: paraphrase your argument and highlight or restate your personal opinion or position on the issue.<br />
<br />
<b>Agree / disagree question</b><br />
<br />
- Introduction: paraphrase the question and give a general answer<br />
that will summarise your opinion<br />
- Main paragraph 1: I agree/disagree because … + supporting reasons<br />
- Main paragraph 2: Another reason I agree / disagree is …<br />
- Conclusion: paraphrase your argument and sum up.<br />
<br />
Make sure you note down examples and supporting details for each paragraph. Your arguments should also clearly link back to the position you stated in the introduction.<br />
<br />
Spend some time thinking of good vocabulary related to your topic. Note it down.<br />
Writing<br />
<br />
Start each paragraph with a topic sentence i.e. the general topic of the paragraph.<br />
<br />
Develop your ideas in each paragraph by giving reasons for your answer and include examples from your own knowledge or experience.<br />
<br />
Keep your examples fairly short. Don’t go into too much detail; make sure you stay on topic.<br />
<br />
Try using linking words like ‘firstly, secondly, finally’ to connect your ideas within each of your main paragraphs. This will help your writing to flow.<br />

expressions are used. However, we use a more formal style when we’re writing
for professional reasons or to people we don’t know. We use an informal style
with people we know well, for example, family members, relatives, friends or
colleagues.</span></li>
<li>·<span style="font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal;">
</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; text-indent: -18pt;">There are a number of differences between formal and
informal English. For example, sentences are generally longer and more complex
in formal writing. Language is often more impersonal, sometimes using passive
voice. Vocabulary is often different too, with more words of Latin or French
origin and fewer phrasal verbs. We don’t use contractions in formal writing,
whereas in informal writing, we use them all the time.</span></li>

<b>A friend has written to you asking for advice about a problem at work. You have had a similar problem in the past. Write a reply to your friend. In your letter: tell your friend you understand the problem, explain what happened to you in the past, suggest possible solutions to the problem. Write at least 150 words.</b><br /><br />Dear R,<br /><br />I fully appreciate the challenges of working in a corporate world. Unfortunately, hard work and discipline do not always help to get a promotion. Instead, one should be really smart in building and expanding internal and external networks.<br /><br />Few years ago, I had the same issue with self-promotion and visibility. In other words, irrespective of the hard labour and efforts to meet work deadline, my contributions remained unnoticed. On the contrary, colleagues and employees who were more vocal, visible and well-connected scored excellent performance ratings and received the laurels. Clearly, I had to change my behaviour and working style in order to promote my contributions in the firm. I had a few coaching sessions with senior leadership team member who shared some tips to succeed in workplace. A couple of months later, my natural modesty were replaced by assertive and confident behaviour.<br /><br />So, let me give you some advice.<br /><br />First of all, you should not shy away from sending an email to your supervisor and leadership team stating your achievements in a particular task or project. Secondly, it is likely that people notice you easily when you start writing articles in internal and external journals. Finally, I would suggest you not to miss any opportunity to make presentations at town-hall and meetings.<br /><br />I hope you will find these suggestions helpful and wish all the very best in your life.<br /><br />Regards,<br />A</div>

<br />
I have encountered a website called "Write & Improve - a language improvement tool" developed by Cambridge University Press. I was directed to the website when I was looking for some information on resources for learning English few days ago. I found it to be quite useful even though I that that there are areas for improvement on this website. I would like to review the main features and attributes of this website in my article. Additionally, I would also provide some feedback and recommendations for future improvement.<br />
<br />To begin with, it is easy to navigate within the site. I could locate the resources easily. Since the website is designed by reputed University center, the materials provided were of exceptionally high quality. Without much hassle, I was able to submit my article. As per the instructions, I was told that “submit button” needs to be clicked after writing the article and I meticulously followed the instructions. On submission of my article, I was promptly taken to the next page where I could see the result and feedback on my essay. Overall, I had the pleasant experience. The website did the checking of language, grammar and spelling swiftly.<br />
<br />Despite being easy to make use of the resources in the website, it also suffers from some avoidable drawbacks. First of all, the feedback were system generated, without intervention of human beings, which sometimes, make them unreliable and unbelievable. Unless the student has high speed internet, it slows down the generation of reviews. The designers need to look at it at the earliest. </div>

<b>Should computers and tablets completely replace books in schools and universities?<br /><br />Write an essay giving your opinion.</b><br />Computers, tablets and other modern advanced devices can be used in addition to textbooks in schools and universities as I do not believe that these modern tools can completely replace the traditional means of teaching.<br /><br />First of all, tablets and computers may be ubiquitous but still are very expensive. Not all the students can afford it especially if they are from poor families. On the other hand, printed copy of text books, and references materials are much cheaper in comparison to computers and accessories.<br /><br />Another drawback of having gadgets is that students may not be able to focus on a single task. There might be a temptation to play games online, or to watch videos instead of doing homework or revising lessons. Frequent shifting of tasks does not help in learning.<br /><br />To conclude, the purpose of learning is not met unless the students have a good internet connection to make effective use of these gadgets. Unfortunately, high speed internet is beyond reach of many families in remote villages and in developing countries. Hence, instructions in a classroom should be based on printed books and articles.<br />
<br /><br /><b>How do you feel about birthdays? Do you think they are important? How would you choose to celebrate your birthday if you could do anything you wanted?<br /><br />Write your autobiographical essay.</b><br /><br />Birthdays are important milestone in our life as it reminds us an important day and event. Since a baby is born after a painful labor and a lot of care and love of a mother goes into it, I feel it is naturally significant day not only in a person's life whose birthday we celebrate but also in lives of close relatives. The birth of someone in a family is a moment of joy and happiness and it makes it even more significant to celebrate it.<br /><br />I am no different than many others who would consider birthday as an important event. Since I have been brought in that environment where birthdays are regarded as sacred day, I think I am conditioned to think in this way.<br /><br />For a minute, I would like to detach myself from the society and would like to give a serious thought on the necessity of celebration of birthday. On one hand, it is a customary practice to mark this day with dinner with close family and relatives. On the other, we sometimes need to question its purpose.<br /><br />As I am not a natural extrovert, I feel that I would spend this day quietly and away from hustle and bustle of city life if were able to decide myself. Additionally, I would go on a long trip somewhere near to seashore and would love to feel the serene life in order to recharge my batteries. Such moments also provide ample opportunities to re-energize ourselves. I hate spending money on liquor and parties.<br />

<b>Model Answer:</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">The graph chart shows the consumption quantity of potatoes, pasta and rice in a European state during the period of 30 years from 1976 to 2006. Overall, it is seen that the proportion of potatoes in a weekly diet has greatly reduced in the span of 30 years whereas intake of pasta has substantially increased during the same time period.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">In 1976, the consumption of potatoes stood at the highest among the three food items. More than 400 grams of potatoes were consumed by a person in a week. Pasta was the least eaten product in that year (About 270 grams per person per week).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Initially until around 1986, potatoes were the most sought after food products. However, this trend got reversed and people started eating less amounts of potatoes thereafter. Especially after 1991, there was a steep decline of quantity of potatoes forming part of diet and in 2006; it was at the bottom position (little more than 100 grams per person per week).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">In contrast to this trend, people started consuming more quantity of pasta and its quantity on weekly meals continued to increase until 1996 (reaching 500 grams per human per week) and thereafter, it has stabilised.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">It can also be seen that the consumption of rice was declining until 2000 and thereafter it slightly peaked up. However, its consumption in 2006 (around 200 grams per person per week) was much less than in 1976 (little more than 300 grams per person per week).</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-IN;">It is a worldwide phenomenon that many people travel
to different countries for the purpose of higher education. This was not
possible and less occurring in the past mainly due to lack of knowledge about
foreign countries, and expensive travel and cost of studies. However, the
globalisation and the revolution in information technology has made it possible
today that many people are benefitting from the quality education from
universities.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-IN;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-IN;">Arguments can be made in favour of study in foreign
countries. However, we need to be mindful that there are many critics to such
patterns. First of all, opportunity to receive quality education is one of the
most important benefits of going to foreign university. This is so true in case
of students from poor and developing nations where there is hardly any infrastructure
and investment in good universities, colleges, and research centres. Secondly, when
students enrol in the foreign universities, they can use their time in understanding
cultures, customs and traditions of another country and of other students. It
augurs well when young students learn to respect other cultures and languages.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-IN;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-IN;">As said before, there are plenty of negative
consequences of joining foreign universities. A country which is already poor
loses a lot of foreign currency reserves when a student travels to another
country. Prospective graduate and undergraduate candidate has to spend a lot of
money for his college admission, for hostel, for books in another country and
this could be detrimental to poor country’s economy. The second disadvantage of
studying in international universities for anyone is that he or she is not able
to gain the required amount of knowledge of his home country and there could be
some difficulty to work in his or her country when they return.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-IN;"><br /></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-IN;">Therefore, in my conclusion, I would like to state
that education in foreign country is not without demerits and each individual
should make his own assessment with regard to what is best for him. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b><br /></b>
<b>Sample Answer:</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
The bar charts provide the information about number of men and women in tertiary education in Britain in three different periods from 1970/71 to 1990/91 and also show the data pertaining to full time and part time enrolment for further study. Overall, it can be observed that the number of men and women opting for full time study gradually increased in the given period whereas the choice of women in part time education was seen gradually increasing in contrast to the choice of men which did not follow any particular discernible pattern.<br />
<br />
During the period 1970/71, men outnumbered women in part-time education (1,000,000 men versus about 700,000 women). By the time of 1990/91, this trend was reversed. In 1990/91, the number of women participating in part-time study was significantly higher than men (1,100,000 women versus 900,000 men). The selection of part-time education by women went up steadily in all the periods, i.e. in 1970/71, in 1980/81, and in 1990/91 (700,000, more than 850,000, and 1,100,000 consecutively).<br />
<br />
With respect to full-time education among males, marginal increment in numbers could be seen after each decade. In case of female students, the rate of rise in number of full-time students was much more striking in 1980/81, and 1990/91 in comparison to 1970/71.<br />
