IELTS Essay, topic: Computers in our life
Computers are a relatively new invention. The first computers were built fifty years ago and it is only in the last thirty or so years that their influence has affected our everyday life. Personal computers were introduced as recently as the early eighties. In this short time they have made a tremendous impact on our lives. We are now so dependent on computers that it is hard to imagine what things would be like today without them. You have only got to go into a bank when their main computer is broken to appreciate the chaos that would occur if computers were suddenly removed world-wide.
In the future computers will be used to create bigger and even more sophisticated computers. The prospects for this are quite alarming. They will be so complex that no individual could hope to understand how they work. They will bring a lot of benefits but they will also increase the potential for unimaginable chaos. They will, for example, be able to fly planes and they will be able to co ordinate the movements of several planes in the vicinity of an airport. Providing all the computers are working correctly nothing can go wrong. If one small program fails disaster.
There is a certain inevitability that technology will progress and become increasingly complex. We should, however, ensure that we are still in a position where we are able to control technology. It will be all too easy to suddenly discover that technology is controlling us. By then it might be too late I believe that it is very important to be suspicious of the benefits that computers will bring and to make sure that we never become totally dependent on a completely technological world.
n the following sentences. Primary, people do not use their body so hard. In the old time, almost all of the people were working in agriculture. They did not use any machines. The working would be incredibly heavy. Nowadays, machines are introduced in every jobworkplaces. They People do not have to work heavily. In stead of that, they get to use their brain. They control machines by watching a monitor. Therefore, the burden of their body lightens. In addition, the medical technology has been progressing. Many diseases which could not be cured are no longer fearful. The causes have been manifested, and new medicines are invented. In the old time, when people got a slightly heavy sick, it was difficult to be cured. They prayed God to recover because they believed that it was the best way to cure the disease. However, it was not scientific. Many patients would pass away. Moreover, people can take in much more nutrition. As the progress of agriculture, people can obtain various crops. They no longer starve. In Japan, few people are hungry from the lack of food. Rather, people eat so much that they get fatgain weight. Considering the circumstances around us, we can not imagine that people starve in Japan. They can easily eat whenever they want, and get enough nutrition to live. Overall, the surroundings of people have been changing. They do not use their body so much. Medical technology and agriculture have been developing. Therefore, people are living longer now. Some people believe that the Earth is being harmed (damaged) by human activity. Others feel that human activity makes the Earth a better place to live. What is your opinion? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer. Answer Human activity makes the state of the Earth worse. Some phenomena are said to be caused by human activity. People are afraid what happens in one hundred years later. They think that humans may not live safely. Three reasons, the environment, energy, atomic war, are described in this essay. The primary reason is the environment. It is said that the warmth of the Earth is caused by human activity. Gases making the Earth warmer are CO2, CH4. People cut trees which absorb CO2. CO2 unabsorbed by trees covers the Earth. It prevents the heat from going out of the Earth. Also, people produce a large amount of gases a year. They have increased every year. Almost of the countries talked to try to reduce the gas level until that of 1990. However, the country producing the most gases, the United States, disagreed it. The warmth of the Earth will be worse. Also, the energy problem is significant. The energy humans use has increased. These days, the industry of developing countries progresses. They use more energy than they did ten years ago. For example, the industry of China is stronger now. It has a billion people. The energy it uses has been increasing. To avoid this problem, humans should invent the substitute. Usually, humans use gases to get energy to drive cars and to get electricity. However, they produces CO2 very much. Another resource People use now is Atomic power. It is clean but dangerous to use. Many countries give up using it. We need to ponder a new clean and safe energy. Another fear is atomic war. War itself does not influence to the Earth so much. However, atomic war is different. If a country attacks another country by an atomic bomb, the attacked country will attack by an atomic bomb automatically. Both countries will attack each other many times by atomic bombs The problem is that an atomic bomb has radiation. Once it is used, the surface of the Earth will be exposed by radiation. It does not disappear for thousands years. People can not remove the radiation if they use it once. In conclusion, human activity damages the Earth. Humans should consider the Earth more. The damage of the Earth influences human beings. It is a confound problem for both humans and the Earth. It has recently been announced that a new high school may be built in your community. Do you support or oppose this plan? Why? Use specific reasons and details in your answer. Answer Our community does not need a new high school anymore. There is no meaning to build it. Nobody believes the lack of high schools; it has practically enough high schools now. Two reasons are described in the following sentences. To begin with, the number of high school students has been decreasing. The reason is that the birth rate has been decreasing. Even now, our community has enough capacity for high school students. That the number decreases means some high schools will be closed in the near future. Nowadays, some extra schools change to another facility. For example, they switch to the facility for the elderly. Japan has the problem of the elderly. Although the number of children decreases, that of the elderly increases. The places for the elderly are not enough now. Our community should offer a new place for the elderly not for new high school students. It is a good idea when we consider the problem. Another reason is that our community should use the money to the schools existing now. They can make up for their weak points by getting the money. It is better for students than building a new school. Needless to say, it is estimated that building a new high school takes a lot of money. That is because it needs a new ground and new buildings. The cost might be more than 100 million yens. Our community does not have to pay that amount of money. It can distribute it to other schools. When they obtain the money, they can increase the number of teachers, and repair old buildings. These schools can offer better education to students. Quality is better than quantity for education. In summary, our community does not need a new high school. It has enough schools now. Some high schools will be unnecessary because the number of students will decrease. Our community should use the money to high schools existing now. A new high school will prove that it is waste of money. Some people think that they can learn better by themselves than with a teacher. Others think that it is always better to have a teacher. Which do you prefer? Use specific reasons to develop your essay. Answer Some brainy people can study by themselves. It is better than studying with a teacher for them. However, I prefer to study with a teacher. It is always more effective for me. I want to study as much effectively as possible. I will mention three reasons why I can study effectively with a teacher. First, a teacher knows the best way to solve a problem. He/she has already taught teached it to many students repeatedly. Therefore, he/she knows the most effective way to solve it. On the other hand, I solve the problem for the fist time. I have to find the best way. It takes a lot of time to know what the most effective way is. I have to test many ways again and again. Second, a teacher knows what is important and what is not. I can memorize from the most important issues to less ones. I do not want to use much time for studying. I want to spend the time on other activities. If I have unlimited time, I can memorize everything, but it is impossible. A teacher knows how important what issues are important. To know that is helpful to memorize them. Third, a teacher keeps the plan of study. I study by following that. It is very effective. Of course, I can plan by myself, but I always get tired. I want to keep the pace constantly. In this case, studying with a teacher is helpful. He/she leads me what I should do by planning my study. I only obey it. Therefore, I can concentrate on studying more. Consequently, I prefer to study with a teacher. I can study very effectively. I should use him/her as much as possible. It is the shortest way for my success. I will understand much faster with a teacher than by studying by myself. "When people succeed, it is because of hard work. Luck has nothing to do with success." Do you agree or disagree with the question above? Use specific reasons and examples to explain your position. Answer Generally, hard work is one of the elements to succeed. But we must not turn away one more significant element, luck. Luck is important for successful business people. Without luck, they could not win in the business world. I am going to mention three reasons why luck is important for success. The primary reason, which is the most important, is that business people have to catch quite a few business chances. Not all of the hard workers get a successful business chance. People who find a chance are lucky. After getting chance, they need to broaden their business by working hard. Only chance is not enough in (at) this stage. How they use their brain and work hard lead them to a success. The second reason is that a business people need to find excellent colleagues. People can not work alone. Usually, they work in a group. The group members should also be celebrities. They collaborate for the same aim in the same business. To find brainy members is difficult. Only luck relates to this element. The third reason is that not all of the successful business people work hard. Some do not work even if they succeed in business. For example, some people are succeeded to land from their father. They get money only by using the land to construct buildings (in the land). They can earn money from (the) rent fees (of offices or apartments). In this example, people do not work hard, but succeeded (to their father's) land. Actually, we will estimate that they are lucky because they could succeed (have) land from their father. If they do not succeed (obtain the) land, they might work in a company for small salary. As a result, only hard work is not enough to succeed in the business world. People need to get luck. The reason why not all of the hard working people succeed is that they do not have luck. We must not ignore luck is necessary for our success.
