I fully agree that computers are one of the most essential features in modern education. Mathematics can surely be better taught by computers because of various functions like formulas, auto sum and many more.

In

early days calculations were performed manually in which chances of human error are high. Thereafter Logarithmic Tables were introduced. No doubt Log table calculations were relatively faster than manual however chances of human error can’t be ruled out.  After Log Tables, came the slide-rules in the subject of math. After the slide-rules came the electronic calculators.   In slide-rules and calculators the calculations used to be very fast and chances of human error were less. Finally now computers have been introduced in the education. Subject of Mathematics is best taught with the help of computers. However with the help of computers, descriptive subjects like History, Geography, Civics, Social Studies, can also be well taught as it is capable of giving past and history and present developments.

Students come across computers both at home and at school. Governments worldwide have introduced computers and internet connections in classrooms. Most people welcome computers that have improved the ways we work and we play. Technology is advancing at a speed that is far beyond our imagination. Now computers are an essential feature not only in education alone but in our daily lives too.

No doubt use of computers involves initial computer literacy that is not very difficult to pick-up. Also Learning and teaching is a human process involving human touch and communication and in this process, emotions play a vital role in a student’s learning and motivating process and these are absent in a computer. Computer although may be inadequate on emotional aspect but it is the best companion.

In conclusion I fully agree that computers are one of the most essential features in modern education.

Government’s Role - Essay for IELTS and TOEFL

A government’s role is only to provide defense capability and urban infrastructure, such as roads, water and power. All other services as education, health, and social security should be provided by private groups or individuals in the community.

To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

Write at least 250 words.

I don’t agree at all that government’s responsibility ends once it has provided defence capability and infrastructures like roads, water and power. Other services like education, health, social security must be taken care by private parties and individuals in the community.

By definition Government means the governing body of a nation, state or community.  The system by which a nation, state or community is governed. This consists of a group of people that governs a community. Said group is elected by way of elections and voting by the public. It forms policies, laws and rules and ensures the implementation.   Any government is the most powerful group that can do and undo the things in the interest of the nation and its population.

Population by large pays heavy taxes like Income Tax, Sales Tax, Road Tax, Gift Tax, Wealth Tax, House Tax and many more. This generates a huge chunk of money with the government. Also population bestows confidence and trust in this government that it will take full care of them in all the contingencies. Hence it is a moral duty of the government to provide all other services like education, health and social security too. Good governance must provide full help for to the population in the eventualities like force majors like earth quake, tsunami, floods, fire hazards etc. Good governance must as well take care of the victims in the unforeseen eventualities like road accidents, air crashes, vessel capsizing etc for their rehabilitation.

In nutshell I am of the view that government is like “God Father” to the population by large and must take care of the population in totality. Provide rescue and help in the unforeseen unfortunate happenings. Government cannot simply provide a few facilities and leave balance task to private parties and population.

"Form of Treatment versus Mental Attitude" Sample essay for IELTS

In today’s society, both Western medicine and traditional complementary forms of medicines’ are now widely known and used. The effectiveness of these kinds of treatment is determined by the patient’s mental attitude towards it.

To what extent you agree or disagree?

Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your experience.

Write a least 250 words.

------------------------------------------

I strongly agree that effectiveness of any treatment depends upon the mental attitude of the patient. Where there is will there is way. If the patient is willing to become alright, one would cooperate with the doctors, follow the doctor’s orders and take medicines regularly. Hence recovery will be fast and effective. In this essay I shall elaborate on my view point and some forms of medical treatments.

 The Homeopathic deals with administration of small quantities of mild medicines in the form of small white and sweet granules. This type of treatment cures the diseases permanently; however treatment takes little longer while. The patient should have patience to be OK. There are no side effects in this treatment.

Herbal (Ayurvedic): The treatment comprises of powders, tablets, medicated oils etc. prepared from natural herbs, plants and minerals. This is one of the oldest types of treatment and has no side effects. This type of treatment is faster compared to Homeopathic.

In recent past, an Indian Yoga Guru, Baba Ramdeo suggested a herb Giloy (Tinospora cord folia). This prevents and cures more than 25 diseases. This herb gained maximum popularity word over after it worked miracles on “Swine Flu”.  Similarly Aloe-Vera is found to be most useful for skin troubles and healthy skin keep-up and maintenance.

Finally Western Type, known as Allopathic type of treatment is the most popular and widely accepted these days. The medicines are made of different proportions of chemicals and drugs those can be administered orally or injected directly into the muscles, veins and arteries with the help of a suitable syringe. Surgery is also performed wherever needed. The treatment is popular and fast

.

Summarizing, important for recovery is the positive mental attitudes, regardless of the form of treatment.

TOEFL Speaking 19

19. Talk about a difficulty you have overcome in your life. Describe the experience and say why it was difficult to overcome.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

During my schooling I was very weak at Drawing and Mathematics. Because of this I gave up after Matriculation and could not go for Engineering or Medical career. Nevertheless I was keen for Engineering so I passed my Electrician’s and Electrical Supervisor’s certificate courses administered by the Government of Rajasthan and took up the jobs. While I was working, I saw one of my colleagues pursuing for his Part-time Diploma in Electrical Engineering. This motivated me to join this course. I started studying for my Diploma in Electrical Engineering. I was regularly attending evening classes after my day’s job. This was all very tiring; above all the duration was four years. However every semester up to third year I cleared. In the Fourth and Final Year both semesters I studied very hard. I use to solve ten sets of past examinations daily. In a way preparation became so good that I could write the Final Year Examinations easily. I passed the examination with First Class and First Rank. I scored the highest marks in the batch and experienced a success. Although it was very difficult to attend classes daily after the day’s job and also to cope with subjects of Engineering Drawing and Mathematics and pass this course which I overcame with my strong will and hard work.
