Schools should not force children to learn a foreign language. (15/01/2025)
To what extent do you agree or disagree?
There is a view that students should not be compelled to learn a foreign language at school. From my own perspective, although this notion bears some weight, I firmly disagree with it.
However, it is prudent to acknowledge some drawbacks of the obligatory foreign language learning. Naturally, students, when forced to grasp an overseas language, are likely to develop resistance to it, which strips the joy away from the process of language acquisition, thereby rendering the learning unengaging and tedious. This, by extension, could possibly not appeal to young minds, ultimately reducing academic attainment and involvement.
This argument notwithstanding, the benefits of knowing more than one language are more considerable, often more so at school. First, understanding the nuance and intricacies of a language fosters cultural appreciation and tolerance, both of which are fundamental pillars of a cohesive society. In Uzbekistan, for instance, a cultural diversity also features mutual compassion between various nations and communities united both geographically and linguistically.
The other merit is the competitive advantage on the job market. When viewed from a career standpoint, cultural sensitivity leads to smoother work dynamics, since relationships between workers are very likely to be thriving. This aspect highlights a school student’s edge over others if they are to widen their linguistic skill set, given that current interconnectedness of the world is rising – more than ever – and therefore compelling one, whether a student or a job applicant, to expand their horizons to foreign languages.
In the long run, multilingualism can also boost tourism. With an entire generation having excelled in foreign languages from school years, the nation is bound to welcome a higher influx of tourists, as the learned lingua franca bridges cultural gaps, contributing to smooth communication between different nations. If this touristic activity is to persist, local businesses will thrive and so too will the economic well-being of the country.
In summary, while mandating learning a foreign language at school might reduce engagement of students in language classes, I contend that, to a large extent, this trend has several compelling knock-on effects: improved social cohesion, more promising career prospects and, in the long term, economic gains on a national level.

Omg...That is grammatical prowess, I have to admit!
1) Should is used in its 'conditional' context, which is often a formal or hypothetical one 🧨
Example: Should this region hits a trough, local municipalities are to enact harsher social policies.
2) It also features an inverted conditional construction(that helps with widening grammatical flexibility) 💯
Example: Should this caters to more various needs of the public, there will be less consequential by-products.

The two charts provide information on how students, categorized by gender and mode of study, at universities of the UK were distributed over four academic years: 1996/1997, 2000/2001, 2005/2006 and 2009/2010.
During these years, the number of male postgraduates enrolling in universities showed a steady increase, rising from 75,370 to 151,275 for full-time students and from 113,961 to 117,105 for part-time; the figure for the latter study mode also experienced fluctuations, whereas that for the former grew more rapidly, and particularly so in the last two academic years.
Similarly, enrollment levels of female postgraduate students rose in both study modes. From 62,344 and 108,702 to 146,980 and 163,340 respectively, the number of full-time and part-time postgraduate females saw notable rises, despite a decline in part-time study enrollment at the end. Notably, the growth rate was faster from 2000 to 2006 in the rate of part-time female postgraduates, and from 2000 on in that of full-time.
Overall, regardless of gender, part-time postgraduates outnumbered their full-time counterparts, with the gap between the two narrowing by the end. The gender difference, meanwhile, had become much larger between part-time postgraduate students by the final year, while the figure for females increased to a larger extent.

It is sometimes worthwhile to be hell-bent....
I don't recall one particular habit or activity that would have lead me to unimaginable progress—or would have put a halt on anything stymying that; I rather find self-glamorization putting a crimp in any work I happen to have begun.
Yet, life is such a disgrace when viewed through a logical lens—you are not to reel from a spate of coercion or heavy power, most of the time. But rather it is soft power—family agenda, cultural resistance, depression— that hobbles your keen desires.
It is then, for the sake of sanity, for you to tolerate calamities. On a battlefield, you unleash your military prowess, a trait of a determined—and talented—soldier; in the mental arena, you are what who you have been bred for, however.
This, with no mercy, translates into constant mental wars in the IELTS reality, often so among newly-introduced teachers :
-should I be grasping this very sustainable practice to craft a better script?
-should I be the very teacher as many refer to me?
- should I be the one who is to consistently 'outimprove' big-name rivals?

So, I'm not willing to enrich your English, or IELTS, journey with pinky motivation, resent materials and whatnot—I'm here to show you the beauty of the language which you can see, feel, absorb and express.

Another 'reduced participle clause'📌
Paired with a comparative clause (as it would...), the participle clause (unaffected...) makes the writing more concise.
Example:
⚡️ The men's figure, recorded at a record high of 250 in 2003 as it was a year earlier, fell to a low of 130 in 2005.
P.SWith this in use, your Task 1 grammar range is just bound to blow up.

Some companies sponsor sports as a way to advertise themselves. Some people think it is good, while others think there are disadvantages to this.
Discuss both views and give your opinion.
Gaining popularity has been a controversial issue for many enterprises, with some of them promoting themselves via investments into the sports industry. Some agree with the efficiency of such approach, but others point to the disadvantages of it. I believe that this policy could be adopted by many companies as part of their marketing moves, though, admittedly, it fragments potential audiences, narrowing the targeted niche.
Advertising in the sports sector does have a valuable contribution to the standing of a company. Once product lines or range of services are broadcast via sports TV channels, posters and billboards near a stadium and social media networks, the awareness of the followers about the promoted is bound to rise, which results in higher recognition and therefore stimulates revenues. Pepsi, a sugary drink manufacturer, and Lay’s, a prominent brand of chips, are examples of such advertising, because of which millions of football-lovers recall these companies and became a fraction of their consumer base.
This marketing method, if relied on heavily, can also result in a limited consumer base, however; when the attention of only sports fans is garnered, the rest markets—art-lovers, musicians, writers and other groups alike—are not as drawn, a form of neglect which could confine income streams of the company to a single source – the sports industry. Not only is this concerning l, but so is the intrusion of non-sports ads. Having gathered at a stadium, or comfortably sat in front of a screen, sports fans look forward to being amazed by professional prowess of sports figures, but not to being bombarded with multiple commercials that have nothing to do with neither the sport nor the athletes. This engenders feelings of dissatisfaction and, to a lesser extent, bitterness of the advertised products, with Lay’s and Pepsi being pertinent cases in point. I, therefore, contend that if businesses are to balance their reliance on this form of marketing strategy, they will most probably reap the mentioned above tangible benefits with fewer losses.
In summary, it has been a matter of contention as to whether companies should direct some funds into sports to elevate their reputation, with some opposing this view in light of its drawbacks. I, however, assert that although this policy does attract sport enthusiasts, when hugely dependent on, it still narrows the niche of the enterprises; so, if this approach is integrated into marketing policies and implemented in a balanced manner, it can be have fewer detrimental effects.

The graphic compares means of transport used by travelers visiting New Zealand from five different nations.
Car trips were the most common among four out of five categories of visitors. 60% of the British visited the country driving a car, as did roughly one in two German and Korean, followed closely by 45% of Australian travelers.
Traveling by air and ferry was next on the list, with just below half of the German tourists in New Zealand opting for the former and about 55% of the Japanese for the latter. Meanwhile, the rest of visitors did not show as much preference to such transport types.
Coaches, however, were the least popular choice for three out of five traveler types. This little prevalence was most marked among Australian tourists, less than 10% of whom preferred this means - almost half the figure for the British and German.
In summary, the preferences for transport types varied widely across travelers, with most of them going for flights. While the other transport categories were not as popular, coaches were the least so.
P.S.That is an exceptionally nasty graph 🤬

For sure, these tiny phrases are what a normal reader does not lingeringly think through 🙅
1️⃣ 'If done' (conditional phrase)
Task 2 essays would dive the examiner deep into the 8th or 9th level of contentment with such a grammatical unit placed properly in the script 💯
Example:
These regulations, if imposed nationwide, would probably address most grave issues.
2️⃣ 'bar' (meaning 'except')
Though formal, this expression bear much of what we refer to as a proficient grasp 👨💻
These regulations, if imposed nationwide, would probably address the most grave issues, bar a rebellious wave.

It has been a matter of contention as to whether government-controlled policies should encompass the media we consume, so that immoral, sexually explicit, and potentially harmful content can be banned. This is certainly a rational idea as it safeguards vulnerable groups from such sources, but I also believe that authorities should protect our freedom and rights in accessing information freely.
Governmental censorship, nevertheless, would probably protect more impressionable groups, most notably children and the young, from prospective dangers of the prohibited content. Once propaganda, misinformation and disturbing images and videos are abolished, or at least legally restricted, from free access, parents and caregivers are to be relieved, though in part, from the burden of overseeing the internet usage of those in their care. This is much as in Uzbekistan where such an initiative is imposed nationwide and yielded tangible results ever since.
However compelling this view may be, some argue that this decision is dictatorial. Were the public to have a say in the verdict, a more well-rounded approach could possibly be achieved, since it allows all the parties involved to reach a compromise. This practice is prevalent in Western Europe, where voters express their consent as well as disagreement with policies that affect hugely their day-to-day lives. I, furthermore, contend that, if a delicate balance is maintained, an outright ban will not be viewed as critically, yet I admit the question of who would evaluate the validity, harmlessness and integrity of those websites remains moot.
In conclusion, though controversial, the issue of the total restriction of harmful online sources seems prudent as far as cognitive security is concerned; there is, however, a trade-off involved – undermined freedom to choose the content to consume. Therefore, I assert that it is essential to turn to a balanced solution, which would be mutually beneficial for everyone concerned.

The graphs compare average rainfall levels on a monthly basis in two Brazilian cities: Brasilia and Salvador, in 2016.
Rainfall rates in Brasilia were comparably lower from September to November, declining by the mid-year to about 25 mm, an eight-fold drop from January, when an all-time high was recorded. This trend, however, did not sustain, as the figure then rebounded to the January levels.
A completely different pattern was observed in the other city, with its rainfall figures doubling by mid-spring to as much as 300 mm. From that month onwards, precipitation halved, further increasing by a slight margin. Notably, precipitation rates in this area trailed behind those of Brasilia only at the outset and the end of the timeframe.
Overall, in 10 out of 12 months, Salvador—where rainfall peaked in April and further plummeted—was the city with heavier rainfall, with that in Brasilia dipping in the mid-period and recovering afterwards.
- how diverse grammatical structures are there and why exactly are they used
- are standard phrases
- how flexible is the lexis ? Any new terms that would explain 20 words in 4 or 5
