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.
-----------------------------
I opine, it is always better to learn by a teacher than learning by own self. Learning in isolation may not be as accurate as taught by a highly qualified teacher or professor of that subject. Not to forget, a concept wrongly perceived and applied shall be disastrous.
No doubt technology has extensively advanced in almost all aspects of our lives including education. Now many students rely more on computers for research project and dissertations. The students now opt for online way of learning. Said change in the learning process has become a cause of concern about the decline in importance of teachers.
However, the presence of a teacher is essential for students because the human contact and personal touch are very essential in effective communicating and receiving. This has a positive impact on students. Mainly students realize that they are not dealing with some nonliving object rather they are dealing with a human being an emotional creature who gives love and respect and vice versa. They also learn the importance of studying in group and thus improve on human relation skills and social skills.
Some feel that the role of teachers has faded because of introduction of computers. Computers help students to learn fast and progress in their studies as compared to classroom. Not to forget, computer operation is also taught by teachers. A teacher very well knows the strengths and weaknesses of the students and guides them to overcome their weaknesses and strengthen the strengths. This optimizes the chances of success of students.
In conclusion, teachers are important in learning process and no machine can replace them. Last but not least “A good teacher is like a candle - it consumes itself to light the way for others”. Author Unknown.

Kanpur is a town where law and order situation is bad. It is bad named for loot, vandalism, rape, murder, suicide, homicide child abuse and many more crimes. People there live under enormous amount of tension and with a fear of insecurity. Residents of Kanpur don’t move out of their houses after six in the evening because of said fears.

“Kind of Worker to Hire”
If you were an employer, which kind of worker would you prefer to hire: an inexperienced worker at a lower salary or an experienced worker at a higher salary? Use specific reasons and details to support your answer.
------------------------------------------
Employing a person would largely depend upon two major factors. Primarily the nature of job and secondly time span. If I want to employ a worker to run my production plant with ultra modern machinery and infrastructures, I would opt for an experienced person with high salary. But if I want people to run my production plant over the years to come, I may employ young fresher at low salary as trainee apprentices. I train them suitably and on completion of training successfully, absorb them as independent Production Operators and build a powerful team and workforce.
When a young and inexperienced worker is recruited it is most important that training begins immediately. These workers should be trained on the specific job function they will perform including how to safely perform the job. New workers should be given training for personal protection, proper lifting, working with or around electricity, and slips, trips, and falls. Employees must be trained to use “Personal Protective Equipment” that protects them from bodily injuries.
Management and the new inexperienced worker are like partners in a workplace. Management expects the worker to be efficient and productive. At the same time the company has full responsibility to ensure these employees are receiving proper training and work under qualified supervisors who understand the transition between inexperienced and experienced workers. Young and inexperienced workers present a major challenge to managers and supervisors. Supervisors must ensure that fresher don’t end up on the injury right from the day one.
In conclusion a young and energetic trained worker is more likely to give higher production as compared to an experienced aged worker. Younger generation is the national asset and the nation builder.
