Despite continuous efforts to establish a work-life balance, most people fail to achieve it. While this may incur health risks and weaken relationships, there are a number of measures to be taken.

One implication of an unstable work-life balance has to do with health. As long working hours and forced presenteeism have become normal parts of today’s corporate life, many people falter in taking care of their health; this, by extension, results in fatigue and low energy levels and even chronic sleep deprivation later in life. To counter-act such a problem, nation-wide flexible working hours should be established, with a classic case being Germany: this country has legislated laws to regulate working hours to ease burdens on its citizens.

Another equally alarming result of imbalance between work and personal life is weakened interpersonal relationships. When people fail to spend quality time with their family and friends, this takes a toll on interpersonal bonds, given the importance of continuous connections. For example, people living in developing countries often suffer from misunderstandings because of a lack of communication which is the result of improper work-life balance. Some of those countries, however, are allocating extra days off during national holidays to resolve this issue, demonstrating the importance of actions taken towards improved social cohesion.

In conclusion, health and relationship issues are the direct results of the fact that a proper work-life balance is elusive to attain. Though thorny at a glance, establishing flexible working hours, as seen in Germany, and allocating extra days off can help tackle the implications of such a growing issue, which can be seen in some developing nations.

The values we gain from our parents and family have more influence over our future success than any skills or knowledge learned in school.
To what extent do you agree or disagree?

There is a view that future success is attained with the help of the values gained from family and parents instead of skills and education learned at school. I disagree with this view insofar as success is usually achieved with the combination of both family values and academic excellence.

A key reason for the family’s instrumental role has to do with social environment. Long before academic subjects take hold, children emulate their parents’ actions, which affects them morally, psychologically and emotionally. Parents often teach instill values, such as perseverance, integrity, and empathy that are rarely taught through textbooks. A compelling example is Japanese families, where a child is raised to respect hard work and responsibility, the very traits that play a pivotal role in achieving success.

Notwithstanding, the role of education cannot be overstated. It equips students with literacy, critical thinking, and specialized knowledge that are crucial in almost every profession, especially in today’s competitive job market. Without education, a young compassionate and honest person may falter in moving up the corporate ladder. However, this is not to undermine the role of family; it is rather a call for a balanced combination. Both—family values and education—make up a recipe for success because today’s job market not only requires credible qualifications but also traits that are passed down by family.

In conclusion, I advocate against the proposal that family exerts more influence on children in their way to success in the future. Since school is equally important, I believe that the synergistic combination of both can lay a strong foundation for prosperity.

Here is his score breakdown 🔥

Task 1: 8/8/8/8
Task 2 7/7/7/7

🔥 For him, task 1 was easy because he has cognitive abilities he needed to understand what charts ask him to do.

✅ Besides, we learned all grammar structures and words he needed, which is why, he, I believe, found task 1 quite an easy thing to do.

It is good for senior managers to have much higher salaries than workers in other companies or organisations.

To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Some argue that higher compensation for senior managers compared to other employees is totally justified. I agree with this view insofar as the extent of responsibility that managers take is higher.

Lower-level employees receive lower salaries because they are responsible only for the tasks given to them. By contrast, management and supervision of multiple departments usually fall within the scope of senior managers, whose actions dictate the future of the organization. A classic case in point is CEOs, who shoulder the sheer responsibility of a company’s success in the long run. While an employee may finish their shift and can go back home, chief executives tend to stay longer at the workplace to streamline efficiency and make executive plans for the long-term, taking the holistic development of various departments into account.

Some may raise the argument of income disparity to counter-argue. If the pay gap is notable, employees in lower positions may feel reluctant to work, which affects the progress of a company significantly. Though sensible at a glance, this argument fails to acknowledge a motivating effect of pay gaps. Should employees find out about the amount of money senior managers receive as a compensation for their work, they can feel inclined to work more to move up the corporate ladder; this may drive them to work diligently, which accelerates career development. Not only does this affect employees individually, but it also paves the way for growth at a corporate level.

In conclusion, I advocate for the view that considerable pay gaps between senior executives and other employees are reasonable, given its motivating nature and the degree of responsibility managers shoulder.
