Recent Writing Exam Question - Essay Writing (May 2017)
1. Recent exam question for the writing task- 2 ( Essay Writing)
Worker Often have to retire at the age of 60 or 65. However, some people say that they should be allowed to Continue working for as long as they want. What is your opinion about this??
One important reason, why I believe, that a person should call it a day at this age, is to give chance to the younger task force. The younger people have the modern ideas and know about the latest technology but they can put their ideas into practice only when they get opportunity to work. This is possible only when the older people retire and younger ones take their place. In addition, if the seniors continue to work, unemployment results. For instance, a research carried out by the Employment department revealed, that many vacancies could be created if it is made mandatory for the people to retire at the age of 60 or 65.
Not only that, there are other arguments also which support retirement at a certain age. The people, who have passed their prime, face many health related issues. This affects the productivity of the work. For example the graying workers take more sick leaves as compared to their younger counterparts. Hence this also bring home the idea of compulsory retirement at a certain age.
In conclusion, I would like to reiterate that a person should cease to work at a particular age as it is good for him as well as for the society. The society gets infused with new ideas and the individual also gets the much needed rest after having worked for the better part of his life.
2. Recent Exam Question- Writing Task 2
Every day, millions of tons of food are wasted all over the world. Why do you think this is happening? And how can we solve this problem?
Sample Model Answer
One of the major problems that the world is facing today is the wastage of food. The reasons for this are multifarious; let us delve deep and single out the causes and find solutions to prevent this happening.
Firstly, money is no longer considered something that has to be saved. The earning potential of individuals has increased multi-fold. In good old days, every morsel of food would find its way to be recycled or stored for later use. But now with people becoming moneyed than before, they no longer value storage of food. Rather they tend to throw the unconsumed food. Secondly, food is sold quite competitively with the mushrooming of small joints and roadside shanties. This means that all the classes of people believe in discarding unused food rather than stowing it away.
Moreover, food choices, marketing strategies and advertisements showcase a plethora of food products that are available over the counter. This also opens up avenues for people wanting to try newer variety of food all the time. Why then will they preserve the food? They will definitely try to throw it away rather than eating it later.
Nevertheless, this is not a problem sans a solution. The simplest vista is to create awareness via campaigns which will alter the mindset of the public to food wastage. There are hotels which levy fines on people who waste food. There is a community fridge in a town in Kerala, which allows you to bring in your waste food, so that it is sorted out and given to the lesser privileged. These and more can be highlighted to people, so that they realize that food cannot be taken for granted.
I would like to conclude by saying that food waste is definitely not in good taste.

It is considered by many people a good thing for every child to master a musical instrument. I partially agree with this statement. This essay will discuss, the advantages of learning a musical instrument, and how learning it is a choice and not a duty.
In the first place, playing a musical instrument has been proven to have great effects on the persons mentality and academic skills. To put it simply, mastering a instrument makes the person smarter. For example, children who can play a instrument tend to have better grades than those who do not. Moreover, it helps relieve stress and can be a big advantage on college application. This can be seen in number of students who can play a musical instrument, and who have gotten accepted to top universities around the world. Hence, it is recomended for children to master at least one musical instrument.
In the meantime, whether learning it or not depends on the interests and hobbies of the child. In other words, it is not a mandatory thing that every single child must learn. For instance, some children like music, therefore, they pick up a music instrument. Meanwhile, the others like sports or martial arts, in this case, it would be wrong to make the child learn a instrument. As you can see, before deciding things for the children we must ask about their hobbies and interests.
To summarize, it is true that learning a musical instrument has numerous advantages, such as good grades and admissions into top universities. Neverthless, some children like doing other things like sports and martial arts. Due to this reason, people must not force every child to learn a instrument.

Hi, I'm trying to register but when it gets to how best would you describe yourself e.g. student..... I click my choice and press enter but it won't upload and keeps asking me to choose one. I look forward to your response.
Big thank you to this website. Today I sat for my IELTS test after preparing with you. I wish whoever works on updating this website would read my comment. This site has the best design and it mimics the real IELTS test accurately yet I want to make few notes hoping that you would improve the website for future users:
1. There are many spelling and punctuation mistakes in the texts, they need to be revised.
2. There are some spelling mistakes in the KEY ANSWER!
3. Most keys do not have all the possible answers for example 2 m = 2 metres = two metres
4. Some keys do not follow the question instructions like (only three words) yet the key will contain numbers
5. Most Listening recordings are unrealistic, accents are forced and they sound funny. Nothing like real IELTS.
6. Listening tests now do not include an example at the beginning
I volunteer to help, if possible. Please send me an e-mail if you accepted my offer. Thank you.
