IELTS Essay III

There are more cars on the roads these days and more accidents. As a result, some politicians have suggested that people should take regular driving tests throughout lives, rather than one single test. What do you think are the advantages of repeating driving tests? Do these outweigh the disadvantages ?

There is no doubt that a driving test plays an important role to minimalize accidents on the roads. Some people hold a position that one single test is needed. However, having periodic driving tests throughout lives is a must and stands very a different good way which I am in a total agreement of that statement indeed. This essay will sketch out why having periodic driving test is a necessity.
Driving tests and licenses tend to be a necessity supposed to be had by people who drive car or even motorcycle. To drive vehicles, everyone has to pass the driving test until they finally get the driving licenses. However, even people have got the driving licenses cannot avoid them from any accidents. As far as I’m concerned, bad driving which had by incompetent driver influences the high number of accidents. Due to the bad drivers, they cause many lethal accidents and huge traffic jam. According to the data took by the polices during 2010, there were a lot of victim died in Semarang. Those accidents will decrease if people have to take periodic driving tests during the whole lifetime. The driving tests are needed to evaluate each person’s physical and mental health. The physical health can be measured by the endurance and agility periodically while the mental illness cannot be had by each person whose ages meet the license’s criteria. The periodic times here mean approximately every three, five or ten years, depend on the regulation will be made by the government. And for the cost, people only have to pay 20 per cent of the first driving test fee.
Nevertheless, there is a little evidence to support the view that periodic driving tests can be brought into people’s lives. It will cost a lot of money than one single test because some people assume that periodic tests will not only waste your money but also times. But, it seems to me that one single driving test cannot evaluate physical and mental health periodically. Because in my opinion, even people have had driving license, they might get mental disorders or physical disturbances at any times.
In conclusion, taking driving tests frequently throughout lives can decrease the high number of accidents than one single test. When people assume that one single test only waste less money and fewer times, while in my point of view, periodic driving tests only have to be paid 20 per cent of the first payment and make you competent enough tested regularly. It will give some benefits to people because the physical and mental health can be measured to save not only you but people suffered from lethal accidents indirectly. In short, your driving capability will be improved more and shunned away from creating high accidents rates.

IELTS Essay II

These days Internet-based courses have become a popular alternative to university-based courses. Some students prefer this type of learning because they do not need to attend the lecture. Others argue that it is important to study at the university. Discuss both these views and give your opinion. Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge and experience.

There have been immense advances in technology especially in the field of education. On the subject of Internet-based courses have happened to be well-liked alternative than university-based courses nowadays, I personally believe that it is essential to study at the university. In this essay, I will outline how attending the lecture is needed.
For I tend to think that role of lecturer will fade away because internet help some students not to face the original classroom. The presence of a lecturer is necessary in order to make students more understand about some materials which is needed to be explained further. It is proven that students have different learning capability each other. Because they used to be given some exercises and have more chances to interact with the teacher, they will have less probability to be failed in a subject. By the presence at the university also means that students will have more times improving their social skills such as how to communicate with other people you barely know, how to give some respects to older or even younger people, how to work in a group of people having different mindset and so on.
However, some people find it hard to accept that students should be present at the classroom. They think that people have their own business that cannot be bothered. It cannot be disputable that people have their own right to choose whether they want to attend or not at the university. Some other said that studying at university will cost a lot money. For those who have to work surviving their needs will assume that Internet-based courses are more efficient in time and spend less money because you just have to pay the internet bill. But, as far as I’m concerned that people with lower intellectual capability will have many difficulties. If they cannot understand the materials they will have no one capable enough to explain more about the materials. And also they cannot gather with other people and have fewer social skills than students at the university.
In my summary, the presence of a teacher can help the students in learning process while Internet-based courses will give you few interactions with teachers and can grant you fail in the subjects. In short, the presence at the university will also give the students a bigger chance not to fail in a subject and give more intellectual capabilities and social skills.
