#Essay #Writing #Task3
☘️Discuss both views

🔰 Q: Some people think that public health within a country can be improved by government making laws regarding nutritious food. Others, however, think that health is a matter of personal choice and responsibility. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

📄 Answer:

Personal and public health are tightly related to food choices. While some people believe that the government should regulate nutrition to ensure public wellness, others argue that it should be people’s decision whether to pursue a healthy diet or not. This essay will discuss both points of view and explain why the authorities should not control the types of food people can buy.

Legislators could impose laws concerning nutritious food in an effort to have a healthier population, hence decreasing public health costs. Even if this could be considered a good idea, it would be very hard to implement. To achieve this target, the officials could impose a levy on unhealthy foods, or reduce their availability on the market. In Italy, for example, products such as carbonated sugary drinks and chips are heavily taxed. As a result, the sales of these items have decreased. However, if the authorities start to take control of what their citizens can or cannot eat, it may be deemed as curtailing customers’ freedom.

Personal freedom is seen as an extremely important human right. Therefore, many people think that only they should decide what food and drink they consume, and that it is wrong for governments to interfere with their personal choices. Doing so can indeed lead to public discontent. Alternatively, a better approach would be to launch awareness-raising campaigns about a healthy diet so that people would be able to make better-informed dietary decisions themselves.

All in all, authorities can exercise power to limit the selection of foods people have access to, but that would not be without consequences. Instead, governments should invest in education programs to educate people how they can improve their health simply through making wiser decisions about what they eat.

🔰IELTS Reading
Yes, No, Not Given Questions

Yes, No, Not Given questions are common in the IELTS Reading test. There’s a good chance you’ll get one of these or a True/False/Not Given question which is very similar.

It’s important that you understand the difference between the two so here’s a quick explanation.


❗️Yes/No/Not Given vs True/False/Not Given questions
The difference is in the type of information contained in the text.

1⃣ Yes/No/Not Given – the text will contain the opinions, views or beliefs of the writer or other people who are mentioned.

2⃣ True/False/Not Given – the text will contain factual information about a topic.

Explanation

For Yes/No/Not Given questions, you will be given a set of statements and a text. Your task is to decide which of the following applies to the information in each statement:

📍it agrees with the views of the writer – YES (Y)
📍it disagrees with or contradicts what the writer thinks – NO (N)
📍it is impossible to know what the writer’s point of view is – NOT GIVEN (NG)

Top tips for Y/N/NG

1) The answers appear in the same order in the text as the order of the statements.

2) You don’t need to read the whole text. First, you will scan for keywords and then you’ll read in detail the section in which they're located to find the answer.

3) Watch out for distractors. Be aware that the test setters love to use ‘distractors’ to really test you. A prime example is qualifying words such as:
every a few
all always
some often
most occasionally

These single words can completely change the meaning of a sentence.

E.g. Julio often goes to the gym after work.
Julio occasionally goes to the gym after work.

In Y/N/NG questions, the meaning of the statement must be an exact match with the opinion of the writer for the answer to be YES.

4) Also be on the lookout for qualifying words that express possibility or doubt such as:

seem claim
suggest possibly
believe probably

Again, they can totally alter the meaning of a statement.

E.g. He claimed that profits had gone up by 10%.
He knew that profits had gone up by 10%.

5) The view or opinion of the writer may not be immediately clear from the text. You may have to determine this through what they say.

6) The statements will contain synonyms and paraphrasing so be on the lookout for these.

☘️Agree/Disagree

🔰Q:Everyone should stay in school until the age of eighteen. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

📄Answer:

Education is extremely essential for an individual to live a successful and comfortable life. The countries with better literacy rate are usually more economically stable. Having said that, the right to self-determination is a basic fundamental right guaranteed to every citizen by the constitution, therefore, I strongly disagree to apply a blanket uniform law to everyone and force them to stay in the school till they reach the age of majority.

The first reason is, by mandating school we will deprive pupils of free choice. If we make children part of the decision-making process this will enhance their confidence and raise their confidence. These adolescents are the biggest stakeholders and they are the future of any country. Any decision relating to the youth must be done with all interested parties. For example, in countries that mandate compulsory military service for their young population, their armies are not as disciplined as compared to the countries with regular armies. Norway is just an example, where all Norwegian citizens are required to complete military training, after school. Their military power is nowhere near the USA or the UK, where people who have an aptitude for military service apply and go through the recruitment process.

Secondly, there are children who have mental health issues, which are not diagnosed till later age. When parents, force education, on their children because of peer pressure, this usually results in further damage to their self-esteem and mental condition. There is a considerable increase in youth committing suicides for the same reason. For instance, a few months ago a student in Norway jumped off the mountain and ended his life, when investigated, he was under immense pressure by parents to perform better in education, whereas he had no interest in education and wanted to be a musician.

In conclusion, although, education is imperative for children, I sincerely believe, we should never restrict their autonomy, and do not put unnecessary pressure on them to do what they do not want.
