The pie charts describe how local government managed public budget in 2010 and 2015.
Overall, the local government expenditure on education, healthcare, and pensions, the biggest spending sectors, remained virtually the same after five years whereas noticeable spending increases were seen in welfare and interest in borrowing.
As for the government spending figures in 2010, the percentage of expenditure on pensions and defense were almost the same, with each standing at 19% and 17% respectively. The amount of spending on healthcare was little over four times as much as public spending on borrowing, which made up a tiny 5%. Similarly, three times as much public money was allotted to education as it was to welfare. In that year, transportation, culture and leisure, and other sectors all accounted for 6% of the total spending.
Focusing on the latter year, almost no changes were witnessed with respect to government spending on pensions and healthcare. In contrast, the figures for public expenditure on defense and education were shrunk by 3% each. With transport and interest borrowing, one the other hand, the government outlays had been increased by 5%. Finally, the remaining spending categories received twice as little funding as they did in 2010.

Intelligence is the most important quality that a leader needs to have. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
It is argued that intelligence is the most crucial personality trait for effective leadership. While there might be some truth in this statement, I am of the view that there are other equally important characteristics to it.
There are some instances when intelligence can be viewed as key part of leadership. One is linked with conflict resolution. It is no wonder that workplace is full of disagreements and arguments among co-workers, so knowing when to use the right approach to settle those differences is central to leadership in these cases. Not only while resolving conflicts, but also in making important decisions for the company, intelligence does play a vital part. Leaders are the ones who set long-term objectives, develop strategies, and keep their organization running. Conversely, a company might be on the verge of bankruptcy if it were not for intelligent leaders.
Despite the reasons stated above, I believe that other leadership qualities are as essential as intelligence. Firstly, if a leader is not dedicated to their job, it sets a poor example to subordinates. This is because if a company manager or a CEO comes to work late, does not work to their full potential, and are not motivated to go the extra mile, employees are also likely to hold a reluctant attitude to work. Dedication of leaders is what keeps the whole team focused on the task, willing to work overtime if needed, and enjoy pay rises as a consequence. Besides being dedicated, leaders also must possess strong social skills. If it were not for interpersonal skills, a company would face high turnover and employee dissatisfaction. From my personal experience, my boss, who has good interpersonal skills, has persuaded me to handle my colleague’s workload recently during his ill-health though I have been reluctant.
In conclusion, although the role of intelligence is significant in resolving conflicts and taking strategic decisions that will impact the company in the long run, I disagree that dedication and social skills of leaders are less important than intelligence.

A band 8.0 essay I wrote with my students at the beginning of the year I think. I shared it before, but some of my new students might not have seen it. The feedback was provided by a niner (Beyden James), with an 8.5 in writing.
I hope this gives you an idea of how a band 8.0 report looks, and how difficult it is to achieve higher than 7.0 in TA and CC.
If you are scoring a 7.0, you should be happy.

Social media has replaced the traditional methods of communicating and people use more and more social media in communicating and to follow news and events.
Do the advantages outweigh the disadvantages?
The recent pandemic made the power of social media felt more than ever, not just as a platform for socializing, but also as an instant means of communicating and sharing news. While I think the role of social media platforms in facilitating easier communication is praiseworthy, I must assert that its presence in news distribution should not be viewed as a positive development.
It is true that social media has gone a long way towards improving our lives with its versatility. Having overserved its original purpose, which was allowing users keep social online, today it can be used to do a whole spectrum of tasks, all the way from text messaging to broadcasting live videos to the whole world. In this sense, it can be said that it has practically made the need for other modes of communication obsolete. Also, instant and broad access to events happening worldwide has been made possible; one can obtain local and international news live or few minutes after it happens from sometimes as many as a dozen outlets. This is as though the entire world is on one’s doorstep.
However, as much as I intend not to sound pessimistic, I believe that social media can be a victim of its own meteoric rise. Since its inception, social media has often been met with public criticism for being addictive and rendering personal communication and most of the desirable qualities it comes with redundant. It is known that with social media it is rather tempting to look at suggested posts or to check one’s account feed while using it for communication purposes. As for the experience, one generally is not required to be sociable and good with people when typing behind the screen. Strange enough, it sometimes feels surreal to be interacting with people, or should I say their moving images, which makes one wonder if it is all real.
In conclusion, although I agree that the whole concept of communication and news distribution has been by and large changed for the better with social media, I resort to saying that it should not be viewed as a paradigm for our communication needs.

I decided to rewrite the second body paragraph after I realized that there were few things I could change to improve TR and CC there. I will be soon making another post to explain the reasons why.

Furthermore, the possibility of broadcasting news on social media has allowed people to share and consume more news than their brains can process. Even worse, the quality and reliability of news on social media are often affected by the urge to share everything happening in our lives and the people who seek to use it in malicious ways.
