In the world of the internet, people write product reviews of products and services.
Do you think this is a positive or negative development?
When shopping online or using the services of a business, consumers today can comment on many different aspects of the products and services they receive. I believe this trend should be perceived as both positive and negative developments.
To begin with the positive aspects of this trend, the first and most obvious one is that customer reviews inform people on the quality of a particular product. While in the past people could only find out about the quality of a product after testing it personally, today it is possible to learn a lot about an item simply by reading the reviews left by people who often have no ulterior motive of promoting the product. Another way this trend can be viewed as a positive one can be seen in the service industry. Customer feedback in this industry can be employed to improve services rendered to customers by measuring worker performance to indicate how well they are doing their jobs. When I was employed in the restaurant business, I learnt that work shifts can be allocated among servers depending on how many positive comments they receive on the social media pages of the business.
However, one should also acknowledge the negative changes that online commenting can have on businesses. It, in some cases, can be used to drive down the sales of a particular product with the intention of driving a competitor out of business. One recent example of such a case was when some people commented online that the beverage manufacturer Coca-Cola uses ingredients disapproved of in some cultures. Those comments, which eventually spread out all over the Internet, cost the company north of 4 billion dollars in sales. Aside from hurting sales, corporate groups might conspire into creating echo chambers where scathing comments are made about a business and its services and products in an attempt to blemish its reputation, especially in the service industry.
In conclusion, while being informative on products’ quality and improvements in services explain why online consumer feedback might be good, its power to affect businesses and their reputation can be cited as negative effects of this phenomenon.

Some scientists think that there are intelligent life forms on other planets and messages should be sent to contact them. Other scientists think it is a bad idea and would be dangerous. Discuss and GYO.
There are hypotheses that extra-terrestrial forms of life exist. While some researchers of the cosmos believe that humans should contact them, I support others who argue against it.
On the one hand, sending messages to other galaxies can be an answer to many questions that humans are struggling to find. No one, for example, knows exactly how the universe was created, or about the origin of species. The only pieces of information are theories that need to be backed up by facts. If technology allows us to send signals to outer space with the intention of communicating with other intelligent creatures like ourselves, we will perhaps be able to establish grounds for the existing assumptions, know about the lives of those aliens and possibly predict the destiny of our planet.
However, I would argue that this contact is insensible and can even be detrimental. Firstly, a huge amount of money spent on this purpose may not justify itself as, so far, we have not received any replies to high-frequency signals transmitted to all known planets to human beings. These efforts might also go in vain because we do not even know for sure about the existence of other life forms; even if we do, their way of communication might completely differ from ours. Ultimately, to what extent are we ready to accept reply signals from aliens? What would happen if we did receive one? These are ethical questions and can cause fear and concern since we would be unaware of their intentions.
In conclusion, although the existence of aliens can help us address our long-standing questions, I side with the opponents of extra-terrestrial communication for social, financial and ethical reasons.

Many people prefer to watch foreign films rather than locally produced films.
Why could this be?
Should governments give more financial support to local film industries?
Most people often show more preference for films produced overseas than for the ones made locally. To my mind, this can be explained by two main reasons, and I believe that more public funds should be spent to stimulate local movie industry.
To begin with, two principal arguments can be put forward to explain why many people prefer foreign films over the local ones. The first reason is our curiosity to visually experience other cultures through movies. It is a well-known fact that movies feature some characteristics of countries where they were shot. For instance, Bollywood movies show us that Indians on the whole enjoy dancing and it appears to be the most important aspect of their weddings whereas in Hollywood movies drinking is often included as a significant part of their celebrations. The second one is most arguably the fact that foreign countries like the USA and China excel in movie-making more than most other countries in the world, so it is not uncommon to see better quality movies be produced there than locally.
Whether governments should spend more on improving their local movie industries depends mostly on whether they can see the benefits of doing so. From a cultural standpoint, it might be wise to spend more of the public budget to improve local movie industries as it is a way to capture local culture in such a comprehensive way that appeals to all senses. Another justification is closely related to how subsidizing local film industries help grow the economy in the long run. Not only would more revenue from ticket sales be generated, but also more service businesses such as snack shops and small restaurants around the movie industry could thrive.
In conclusion, human curiosity to experience new things and the superior quality of foreign movies can be cited as the main reasons for why people watch foreign movies more often. Personally, governments should be financially supporting local movie industries for cultural and economic reasons.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of having young parents?
Having young parents has both the pros and cons, which this essay will discuss thoroughly.
Focusing on the positives of having young parents first, a crucial one is that it minimizes the generation gap between parent-child. This, as a result, can mean better relationships, understanding, and possibly fewer conflicts among parents and children. Conversely, if there is a huge difference in the age of parents and children, misunderstandings and arguments may be more common. Secondly, a minimal age gap with children provides parents with security. This means that parents do not have to work at their old age since their children would be mature enough to look after them. Not only does it benefit parents, but children will also benefit from this as losing their guardians before reaching maturity is generally avoided. In this sense, it is a win-win situation.
The trend of having young parents, nevertheless, is not free from drawbacks. When couples intend to have a baby in their early twenties or even before that in some instances, they may not allocate enough time for their children. This is because they would be taking their first steps in life trying hard to study, gain qualifications, move up the career ladder, and lack of parental affection and love to children are often the consequences. Besides time, money can also be a serious concern for young parents nurturing a child or children. It is rare to see people who are rich when they are 18 or 20 unless they have wealthy parents or inherited a fortune. In these cases, we might see a young couple struggle with making their ends meet or trying to finance their children’s schooling or extra-curricular activities later on.
In conclusion, although having young parents can be beneficial for reducing the generation gap between parents and children and guaranteeing a more secure life, the issues of lack of finances and time devoted to children should also be taken into account.

Forwarded from Diyorbek's IELTS (Diyorbek)
Someone recently asked if there was any point in appealing Listening and Reading scores. My answer was that there is no way these scores can be changed because there is not any subjectivity that comes with checking Listening and Reading answer sheets. As far as I know, trained people are responsible for checking Listening and Reading answer sheets, and two people check the same paper, leaving no room for a possible mistake.
To my utter astonishment, these organizations can screw up big time. A candidate who took the test with British Council in 2018 got a 7.0 for his Listening when he was convinced that he didn’t make a single mistake. Convinced that this cannot be possible, he applied for EOR for all four sections. And after some time, he got his EOR results came back. Guess what. His Listening score was changed from a 7.0 to a 9.0. This goes to show how messed up the checking process can be.

In many developing countries, there is a problem with declining quality of air and water from both industry and construction.
What are the effects of this problem?
What measures could be taken to prevent this?
Poor air and water quality caused by industry and construction is a major problem in some countries of the world. I believe this issue can lead to further problems if governments and local communities there do not take an active part in addressing this problem.
To begin with, a fall in air and water quality can trigger two interconnected problems. The first one is most likely to be a decline in the quality of people’s lives. People breathing polluted air and consuming contaminated water are bound to experience health problems at some point in their lives, which in turn, will eventually have a negative effect on their wellbeing. The second effect, stemming mainly from the first one, is excess spending from the government to provide healthcare to those who will suffer from health conditions due to diminishing air and water quality. Once people are exposed to contaminated air and water, it is just a matter of time before they report such health issues as respiratory disorders and organ failure to seek financial support from the government. If there are many people turning to governmental aid, it might create a burden on public budget.
In response to the problem and its effects, governments and individuals should be equally involved. The governments of the countries suffering the problem of bad air and water quality could implement laws limiting industrial and construction practices that can be detrimental to the environment, especially to water tables and air quality. This proposition could be further reinforced by imposing heavier taxes on heavy polluters like factories that burn fossil fuel and discard industrial waste into rivers. On an individual level, local communities can also play their part by boycotting the products and services of those industries that pollute the environment. This solution has proved itself quite effective as it can be seen in the more developed countries of the world where environmentally-conscious individuals make more responsible purchasing choices as a way to express their concern towards the environment.
In conclusion, while falling living quality and financial burden on public budget are the main consequences of declining air and water quality, I believe that imposing stricter laws and more environmentally-friendly habits on individuals’ part can be cited as possible solutions.
