<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">To start with, it would be greatly
enjoyable for people who like adventurous travel and novel experiences. They not only take great delight in preparing
physically and psychologically for such demanding expeditions but also
experience a sense of achievement in completing the task. A few examples would be, climbing difficult
terrains like the Himalayan Mountains, expeditions to the Polar Regions or even
the recent space voyages offered for common people.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Again, scientific expeditions to these
regions have also benefitted human society to a great extent in terms of studying
the many unknown facts about the earth and the universe. For example,
scientists to the Polar Regions of the Antarctica and the Arctic have conducted
various experiments on the climate changes and given us information about how
the melting of the polar ice can affect the earth.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">On the other hand, many people have
questioned the huge financial commitments made by governments in conducting
such expeditions, especially for scientific purposes. For instance, many social economists point
out that maintaining space and polar stations would cost enormous amount of
money but the net results usually do not justify the expenditure incurred. Moreover, the risks involved in travelling to
dangerous and distant terrains are enormous and many people have lost their lives
due to extreme cold, difficult landscapes and lack of provisions.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">In conclusion, despite certain
objections, the curiosity and passion for people to travel to distant and
difficult regions of the world have only increased. It clearly reveals man’s innate desire to
conquer the unknown. Although it
involves a certain amount of risks and financial commitment, it has greater benefits
for man.</span><span lang="ML" style="font-family: "Kartika","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ascii-font-family: Verdana; mso-bidi-font-family: Kartika; mso-bidi-language: ML; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-hansi-font-family: Verdana;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Many progressive schools today often try to provide more
innovative learning experiences to children by taking them to local commercial
establishments or public buildings where they would be exposed to a great deal
of practical knowledge. This practice, I think, would be a significant
opportunity for them to acquire skills and information which are not usually
available in a school environment.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">To begin with, classroom learning can sometimes be
tedious and access to ideas and knowledge in nonverbal and practical ways can make
learning creative, fun-filled and more effective. For instance, while
visiting a historical museum children can </span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: ML; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-IN;">see and handle real objects and experience artefacts like
coins, inscriptions and utensils of the ancient times. These experiences
would reinforce their study of history and help them to recall information more
easily.</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

direct interaction with objects of learning, which are not easily available in
schools. For example, a visit to a local fish market can introduce
children to various species of sea and river fishes, learn their names and
identify them.</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b><span style="font-size: 16px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">There is a view that government should provide financial support to talented students who intend to pursue a career in performing arts such as dance, music or theatre. However, many people believe that taxpayers money should not be wasted for this purpose, and students should look for sponsorship from other sources like corporates or their own families. This essay examines both perspectives.</span></b></div>

<b><span style="font-size: 16px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">On the one hand, state funding for students of performing arts is one of the best ways to conserve arts and culture, which is a major responsibility of the government. This is very relevant today as the number of students opting for careers in such disciplines is declining and government’s patronage in this area would encourage an increasing number of students to choose performing arts. For example, the government of Kerala in India provides free training to art aspirants in traditional performing art forms of the state like Kathakali, Mohiniyattam and Thullal, in a prestigious art-school called Kerala Kalamandalam. This initiative from the government has played a major role in generating interest in young Keralites in traditional performing arts of the state.</span></b></div>

<b><span style="font-size: 16px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">On the other hand, critics contend that since it is mostly students themselves who benefit from art education they should seek aid from other sources such as corporate funding and their own parents. For instance, like any other professionals musicians, dancers and actors also earn large sums of money from stage shows and other public performance. They also believe that since enormous amounts of money is required to fund art education, it would become an unnecessary liability for government, as it has more important priorities to deal with.</span></b></div>
<b style="font-family: Verdana; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2;"><br /></b><div dir="ltr" style="font-family: Verdana; line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2;">
<b><span style="font-size: 16px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">A close examination of both views reveal that it is necessary for government to sponsor art education because many parents are not financially capable of shouldering this responsibility and corporate funding is often impractical.</span></b></div>
<b style="font-family: Verdana; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2;"><br /><span style="font-size: 16px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">In conclusion, although it may be a serious financial obligation, government should not hesitate to support art students financially because safeguarding the cultural traditions of a country is one of it’s primary responsibility.</span></b></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Some schools agree that fast food restaurants and supermarkets can promote their products in school and that schools benefit from it. Is it a positive or a negative development?</span></div>
<b id="docs-internal-guid-9b786689-321a-d804-a4d8-877149d6c7ff" style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></b>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Today, a number of schools, especially in the developed countries allow corporate advertisements of fast foods and supermarkets and in this way they try to raise funds for schools activities. This practice, in my view, is disadvantageous for school children.</span></div>
<b style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></b>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">To start with, showing commercials of fast foods, chocolates and similar products or making them available within school premises would reinforce children’s taste for such foods. This can increase problems like obesity and other health issues among children. For example, if hamburgers, fried meats and sweet beverages of brands like Mcdonalds or KFC are available in school cafeterias children would definitely have a tendency to consume them on a regular basis, instead of opting for healthier alternatives. </span></div>
<b style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></b>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Similarly, exposure to constant commercial messages within the academic environment can create a materialistic attitude in children. For instance, if schools promote advertisements of children’s products like toys or computer games from supermarkets through educational materials, billboards or school television, children would think that they have the approval of teachers and school authorities. Consequently, they may force their parents to buy the advertised products, when they visit supermarkets. This is a very obvious example of how commercialisation of schools can promote materialistic attitude in children.</span></div>
<b style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></b>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">On the other hand, some principals do not believe that children are unduly influenced by commercialisation of schools and they consider it advantageous to them, as a way to improve school facilities. To cite an example, some corporates help financially strapped schools to buy library books or improve sports facilities for promoting their products inside the campus.</span></div>
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">In conclusion, despite minor advantages, corporate commercial campaigns within school premises has greater negative influence on children as they would promote unhealthy habits and materialistic attitude in them. </span><br />

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Economic progress is often used to measure a country's success. However, some people believe that other factors are more important. What other factors should also be considered when measuring a country's success? Do you think one factor is more important than others?</span></div>
<b id="docs-internal-guid-56e1c7c7-0a2c-dea0-dcb6-2118206fa262" style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></b>

However, many economists argue that a number of other criteria should also be given importance. Among them, I believe education is the most significant.</span></div>
<b style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></b>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

For example, scientists, engineers and technicians spearhead research and development, and industrial growth in most advanced countries.</span></div>
<b style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></b>

To explain, only a truly progressed nation can ensure efficient universal health care facilities for its citizens. For example, the life expectancy of advanced countries in Europe, America and Asia is the highest, due to the availability of latest medical procedures, health care personnel and medicines.</span></div>
<b style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></b>

This means that in most advanced nations, the highest level of agricultural production is achieved using the latest technology and minimum manpower. For example, mechanised farm implements, high yielding seeds, highly effective fertilisers and other scientific methods practiced in these countries ensure maximum yield from agriculture.</span></div>
<b style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></b>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

The main reason is, only with the help of educated professionals in all fields, including healthcare, agriculture and industries can a country achieve success.</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">In conclusion, there are varied ways to measure the progress of a nation, but education is the most significant aspect, because all the other sectors depend on it.</span></div>

<span style="color: #010101; font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: 13pt;"><b>Some people think that government should invest money to study life on other planets, while others say that it is waste spending money on such things when earth itself has lot of problems. To what extent do you agree or disagree?</b></span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana; line-height: 18px; margin: 0mm 0mm 3.52mm; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; text-indent: 0mm; widows: 2;">
<span style="color: #010101; font-size: 13pt; text-align: -webkit-auto; text-indent: 0mm;">Space agencies in many countries are now taking great efforts to find signs of life on other planets. However, certain people think that it is unreasonable to waste money and efforts on such futile projects, when there are more serious issues left unsolved on our own planet. I support the latter view.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana; line-height: 18px; margin: 0mm 0mm 3.52mm; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; text-indent: 0mm; widows: 2;">
<span style="color: #010101; font-size: 13pt; text-align: -webkit-auto; text-indent: 0mm;">To begin with, it is improbable/unlikely that there is any life on other planets and spending for this purpose would be a very unwise use of taxpayers valuable money, which would be better spent on human welfare. For instance, NASA has been investing billions of dollars over the last couple of decades in space shuttles and telescopes to spot traces of extraterrestial life, with hardly any positive results, whereas the social security system in the US has been severely affected due to such unreasonable spending.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana; line-height: 18px; margin: 0mm 0mm 3.52mm; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; text-indent: 0mm; widows: 2;">
<span style="color: #010101; font-size: 13pt; text-align: -webkit-auto; text-indent: 0mm;">Moreover, looking for evidence of life on other planets would be of little use to human beings, except for experimental purposes. Money used for expensive space expeditions should be deviated/diverted towards human welfare schemes such as education, healthcare, housing and social security. For example, the government of India spent many billions of rupees on the recent Mars project, whereas a major proportion of Indian population is still below poverty line. The success of this mission did enhance the prestige of India, but hardly benefitted the nation in any other ways. Countries like India should not waste money in discovering life on Mars, but spend it for alleviating poverty or improving the basic infrastructure of the nation.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana; line-height: 18px; margin: 0mm 0mm 3.52mm; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; text-indent: 0mm; widows: 2;">
<span style="color: #010101; font-size: 13pt; text-align: -webkit-auto; text-indent: 0mm;">In conclusion, spending on expensive space programmes to search for extraterrestrial life is not worthwhile, while many problems on earth are left unattended.</span></div>

<div style="font-family: Verdana; line-height: 18px; margin: 0mm 0mm 3.52mm; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; text-indent: 0mm; widows: 2;">
<span style="color: #010101; font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: 13pt;"><b>There is a decline in crime rate today as technology helps in preventing and solving crime. How far do you agree or disagree?</b></span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana; line-height: 18px; margin: 0mm 0mm 3.52mm; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; text-indent: 0mm; widows: 2;">
<span style="color: #010101; font-size: 13pt; line-height: 19px; text-indent: 0mm;">Scientific inventions are increasingly used these days by law enforcement agencies to deal with criminal activities. This, in my view, has definitely helped in reducing crime.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana; line-height: 18px; margin: 0mm 0mm 3.52mm; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; text-indent: 0mm; widows: 2;">
<span style="color: #010101; font-size: 13pt; line-height: 19px; text-indent: 0mm;">To start with, many law breakers have been dissuaded from illegal activities as anti-theft electronic gadgets have been installed in most crime prone places. This would either warn the presence of burglars and thieves or help to trace them. For example, security alarms and cameras have brought down burglaries in banks, and x-ray machines and metal detectors in airports have greatly reduced crimes like smuggling and hijacking.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana; line-height: 18px; margin: 0mm 0mm 3.52mm; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; text-indent: 0mm; widows: 2;">
<span style="color: #010101; font-size: 13pt; line-height: 19px; text-indent: 0mm;">Similarly, in the recent times scientific methods and devices have been successfully used in solving crimes more efficiently. An ideal example would be, the use of finger printing, DNA testing and lie detection technology in identifying culprits and bringing them to justice. These technologies have definitely discouraged many criminals from committing offences.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana; line-height: 18px; margin: 0mm 0mm 3.52mm; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; text-indent: 0mm; widows: 2;">
<span style="color: #010101; font-size: 13pt; line-height: 19px; text-indent: 0mm;">On the other hand, criminals have also devised methods to evade anti-crime gadgets and technologies and therefore some people say that technology has not helped in reducing crime. Criminals, for example, now use masks at crime scenes to hide their identification from security cameras, and researchers have discovered that a significant proportion of criminals trick polygraph tests and act innocent. Despite these minor drawbacks, we need to acknowledge that the use of technology has played a very crucial role in tackling crime in various ways.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana; line-height: 18px; margin: 0mm 0mm 3.52mm; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; text-indent: 0mm; widows: 2;">
<span style="color: #010101; font-size: 13pt; line-height: 19px; text-indent: 0mm;">In conclusion, technology today has greatly revolutionised crime prevention and detection, which has resulted in the reduction of illegal activities in many parts of the world.</span></div>

<div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2;">
<b><span style="font-size: medium;">Nowadays on-line shopping becomes more popular than in-store shopping. Is it a positive or a negative development? Give your reasons and examples.</span></b></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2;">Recently, the number of people who purchases various products and services online is increasing more than ever before. This has certainly affected the business of shopping centres to a great extent. However, I consider this development as positive, due to a number of reasons.</span><br />
<div style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2;">To begin with, e-shopping is generally considered to be more convenient for customers than in-store purchasing. Perhaps, this is because many people, nowadays, are unable to find adequate time to go shopping as they are too busy with professional or personal responsibilities. For example, virtual shopping websites such as, E-bay and Amazon provide a wide range of products online, which cater to the needs of individuals from the comfort of their home. Moreover, such shopping sites have considerably reduced major inconveniences associated with shopping, like traveling to far away shops, parking vehicles in crowded cities and spending a considerable amount of time.</span><br />
<div style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2;">Furthermore, online shopping allows people to select from a wide range of products, and the prices and features of products are often compared. This has enabled customers to choose the right products that suit their needs. For instance, popular online shops in India, namely Flipcart and Jabong have not only provided detailed information of their products on sale, but also customers' opinions and reviews on their product experience. Besides, placed orders on these websites can be altered or canceled by customers, and purchased products can also be returned if they do not meet the assured quality.</span><br />
<div style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2;">Shopping, however, is a social experience for certain people and many of them enjoy shopping as leisure or entertainment. But, popular shopping websites often compete with stores with lower prices and discount sales. This has also influenced many people to purchase products online.</span><br />
<div style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2;">In conclusion, online shopping offers greater benefits to customers when compared to in store purchasing. Clearly, while it converts shopping into a hassle free experience, shopping over the internet is increasingly convenient, too. Therefore, I think this is definitely a positive trend, and the popularity of online shopping is likely to continue.</span></div>

<div style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 16px; line-height: 18px; margin: 0mm 0mm 3.52mm; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; text-indent: 0mm; widows: 2;">
<span style="color: #010101; font-family: Verdana;"><b>More and more people are using computers and other forms of gadgets for reading information. Therefore there is no need to print books, magazines and newspapers on paper. Do you agree or disagree?</b></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 16px; line-height: 18px; margin: 0mm 0mm 3.52mm; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; text-indent: 0mm; widows: 2;">
<span style="color: #010101; font-family: Verdana;">An increasing number of people depend on modern electronic gadgets to gather information and the relevance of the printed media is often questioned today. However, I am convinced that printed books, magazines and newspapers will continue to attract people for a number of reasons.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 16px; line-height: 18px; margin: 0mm 0mm 3.52mm; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; text-indent: 0mm; widows: 2;">
<span style="color: #010101; font-family: Verdana;">Firstly, despite many improvements in technology, reading information on electronic gadjets is still physically stessful. Therefore, even people who like the convenience of electronic readers or computers prefer printed books or magazines for serious or long reading. For example, students and researchers </span><span style="color: #010101; font-family: Verdana;">often</span><span style="color: #010101; font-family: Verdana;"> </span><span style="color: #010101; font-family: Verdana;">experience problems like headaches and strain in the eye, when they engaage in prolonged reading on electronic devices. This clearly indicates that printed reading materials will continue to be used by many people in the future.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 16px; line-height: 18px; margin: 0mm 0mm 3.52mm; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; text-indent: 0mm; widows: 2;">
<span style="color: #010101; font-family: Verdana;">Secondly, many popular books and magazines will not be published electronically, because publishers fear that they can be pirated easily. For instance, people download unathorised copies of ebooks through various torrent sites, and it is a huge revenue loss for publishers. The non-availbility of ebook versions of many popular books and magazines would force readers to depend on printed aleternatives.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 16px; line-height: 18px; margin: 0mm 0mm 3.52mm; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; text-indent: 0mm; widows: 2;">
<span style="color: #010101; font-family: Verdana;">Finally, reading a printed material is part of the daily routine of majority of people over a long period of time and it is not easy to break that habit easily. Moreover, even today a large number of young people are also acquiring such behaviours. For example, most men in my home state, Kerala, India have the habit of reading the printed newspaper along with their morning coffee.

<div>
<div style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 16px; orphans: 2; widows: 2;">
<b><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Many customs are traditional behaviours are no longer required in the modern society and therefore they are not worth keeping. To what extent do you agree or disagree?</span></b></div>
<div style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 16px; orphans: 2; widows: 2;">
<b><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 16px; orphans: 2; widows: 2;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">People all over the world try to preserve their traditional practices and ways of life, but sometimes many of them seem irrelevant in the present day social life. Hence, I believe that it is not beneficial to follow them in today’s context.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 16px; orphans: 2; widows: 2;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 16px; orphans: 2; widows: 2;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">To start with, some of the age old practices, especially of certain conservative societies are discriminatory to women and would further distance them from the mainstream of society. For instance, women in India fold their hands as a gesture of greeting when they meet a person, whereas men shake hands. Traditionally, holding a man’s hand was often considered as an audacious act and an immodest behaviour by women. However, in modern workplaces in India women increasingly prefer to shake hands with men as a more warm gesture, which can reduce the distance between them and their male colleagues. This clearly shows the irrelevance of some of the traditional practices in today’s society.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 16px; orphans: 2; widows: 2;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 16px; orphans: 2; widows: 2;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Furthermore, many behavioural patterns of the past do not respect personal freedom and expect individuals to obey the commands of the older member of the family or community. For example, formerly, in many countries father insisted on his son to choose his own profession or an employment of the former’s preference. In modern society, children have a variety of career choices and most people think that it is better to leave such decisions to children themselves. This would ensure that their aptitudes are taken care of and individuality is respected.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 16px; orphans: 2; widows: 2;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 16px; orphans: 2; widows: 2;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">In conclusion, it is not beneficial t continue with many traditional customs and ways of behaviour as they do not help modern ways of living.</span></div>

<span style="line-height: 19.3199996948242px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">IELTS Essay Question in Qutar on 6th Dec.</span></span></div>
</div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; orphans: 2; widows: 2;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"><b>In the past people used to live in one place in their whole life. Nowadays people live in several different places during their life. What are the reasons for this change? Is it a positive or a negative trend?</b></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; orphans: 2; widows: 2;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; orphans: 2; widows: 2;">
<span style="color: #010101; font-family: Verdana;">Unlike in the past, there is an increasing tendency among many people to change their place of residence frequently for various reasons. This, in my opinion, is advantageous to people in many ways.</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; orphans: 2; widows: 2;">
<span style="color: #010101; font-family: Verdana;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; orphans: 2; widows: 2;">
<span style="color: #010101; font-family: Verdana;"><b>One of the major reasons for this shift is</b> the frequent transfers of employees in large business organisations on account of promotions or for other reasons. For example, multinational software companies like Microsoft and Google have development centres in different parts of the world and employees are often asked to relocate to different cities or even countries depending on the requirements in various projects.</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; orphans: 2; widows: 2;">
<span style="color: #010101; font-family: Verdana;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; orphans: 2; widows: 2;">
<span style="color: #010101; font-family: Verdana;"><b>Another important reason for people's periodic movement</b>, is their desire to enjoy better economic prospects. This would mean that they move to different parts of the same country or even other nations for superior salaries or business opportunities. An ideal example would be, the movement of unskilled labourers from the northern Indian states of West Bengal, Orissa and Assam to southern states of Kerala and Karnataka. They often shift from cities to cities for better wages and favourable working conditions. Similarly, many Indian professionals travel to and live in the different Arabian Gulf nations due to higher salaries offered by companies in this region.</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; orphans: 2; widows: 2;">
<span style="color: #010101; font-family: Verdana;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; orphans: 2; widows: 2;">
<span style="color: #010101; font-family: Verdana;">Positively, many people have been greatly benefitted by frequent relocation, in terms of improving their economic status and lifestyle. Moreover, they have been able to enjoy the experience of meeting new people, cultures and opportunities. Finally, it has made individuals more self-reliant, open-minded and bold. However, some feel that those who relocate often, need to deal with problems like unfamiliar languages, unfriendly climate and racism. Nonetheless, the experience of majority of people prove that it generally has a positive impact on the lives of people.</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; orphans: 2; widows: 2;">
<span style="color: #010101; font-family: Verdana;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; orphans: 2; widows: 2;">
<span style="color: #010101; font-family: Verdana;">In summary, many factors have influenced people to live in different places during their lifetime. Despite certain drawbacks, it definitely has been advantageous to majority of them both economically and socially.</span></div>

<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px;">
<b><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Nowadays more and more fathers look after their children at home, while mothers are doing fulltime work. What are the reasons? Is it a positive or negative development?</span></b></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In the recent times, an i<b>ncreasing(growing) </b>number of men <b>stay(remain)</b> at home and <b>care for(look after)</b>their children, <b>whereas(while)</b> women <b>engage(are involved)</b> in fulltime jobs and earn for the families. A number of factors have led to this situation, and, this trend, in my opinion, is greatly <b>desirable(acceptable)</b>.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">One of the major reasons for this <b>shift(change)</b> <b>in gender roles</b> is the unemployment of many men especially due to <b>frequent occurances of conomic recession</b> in many parts of the world. This has resulted in many men <b>staying(remaining)</b> at home and <b>providing for the needs</b> of their children, while women <b>continue to earn</b> for the family. For example, the dot-com industry <b>suffered(experienced)</b> a major <b>meltdown(recession/collapse)</b> in the United States a decade ago and the majority of employees who were <b>laid off</b> were men. It was not easy for them to find an <b>alternative employments</b> and many of them stayed at home and looked after their kids.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The rise in women's earning power, <b>is another factor</b>, that has led to this situation. This would mean that many women <b>draw(earn)</b> bigger salaries than men and it is often more<b> reasonable(logical) </b>for them to<b> save(avoid)</b> the expenses of babysitting than going for a job. For instance, women who work as business executives, doctors and lawyers usually earn <b>huge(enormous) </b>salaries, whereas their husbands may not be well-paid. If they have two or three kids, it is <b>financially more viable</b> for their husbands to look after their children at home than spending on a nanny.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">On the other hand, many people think that men are forced to become homemakers <b>mostly due to economic reasons</b> and therefore their self-esteem can be affected. Nonetheless, it is increasingly being considered as a positive development by majority of people because it has helped to <b>rectify conventional attitudes</b> and raise women's <b>morale(self-esteem)</b>. Moreover, children would be more comfortable being cared by their father than a nanny.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In conclusion, it is mostly economic reasons that has led to the recent increase in the number of male homemakers. It definitely has greater advantages for the society and therefore should be appreciated.</span></div>

<b><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Some people say that the increasing business and cultural contact between countries is positive development, while others think that many countries will lose their national identities as a result. Discuss both views and give your opinion.</span></b></div>
<div style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 16px; orphans: 2; widows: 2;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"><b><br /></b>The growing global business relationships and interaction between various cultures have resulted in greater economic development and better understanding between people across the globe. However, some people believe that such developments have led to the degradation of the individual identities of many countries.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 16px; orphans: 2; widows: 2;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"><br />
On the one hand, the establishment of large international businesses firms has created a great number of jobs for the educated and skilled youth in many underdeveloped countries. For example, the arrival of software and outsourcing companies like Google and Accenture from the United States have created enormous jobs for engineers in India. At the same time, these companies have been able to reduce the cost of their operations by relocating to less expensive locations of the world.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 16px; orphans: 2; widows: 2;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"><br />
Similarly, today people in many countries are able to enjoy music, dance, theatre and other cultural practices of other countries. This has helped them to appreciate other cultures and it has often become a positive impact on their own cultures. For example, western music and movies are very popular in many parts of the world, and in India films and film music have been greatly influenced by the technical advancements of the west. At the same time, Indian spiritual and cultural practices like yoga and meditation have been extensively practiced by many westerners, especially in the recent times.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 16px; orphans: 2; widows: 2;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"><br />
On the other hand, People's food and dressing habits and entertainment options are dominated by international business firms, whereas traditional lifestyles becoming unpopular. This has led to the internationalisation of culture directed by multinational companies. This is evident in the increasing popularity of fast-foods like Pizzas, Burgers and fried meats of multinational chains like KFC, Pizza Hut and MacDonald. In contrast, many traditional dishes are becoming less popular or even extinct all over the world.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 16px; orphans: 2; widows: 2;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"><br />In conclusion, although we need to acknowledge that globalisation has resulted in a certain loss of cultural identities, it has enormous benefits in terms of economic development and cultural evolution of the world. Therefore, from a broader perspective, accepting such changes can only be considered as a positive development.</span></div>

Whereas large cities and industrialised countries offer them lucrative employment opportunities and obviously they would be encouraged to migrate to such places. For example, many young graduates from rural India and small towns have moved to the metropolitan cities of India, like Bangalore and Mumbai, where multinational companies and large industries provide them appropriate jobs. In addition, for changing jobs and inter-organisational transfers people relocate more often these days.</span></span></span></div>

Migration to countries like Canada and Australia, for example often come under this category. Also, people with lower income sometimes shift to less expensive cities, where house rentals and educational expenses are more reasonable.</span></span></span></div>

<b style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2;">Most education systems rely on examinations to encourage children to study, but as a result, children suffer from too much stress and they never learn to be creative. Therefore, exams should be abolished. To what extend do you agree or disagree?</b></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: medium;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2;">As a method of motivating students to take education seriously, examinations do exert a certain amount of stress on them. However, this does not affect their creative development and hence, there is no need to abolish examinations.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: medium;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2;">To start with, unlike common perception, examinations these days are not all about rote learning and memorising, but also encouraging children to research and form their own opinions about various topics. For example, in language and literature examinations children are often asked about their views about a novel or poem. This encourages them to read books more seriously and develop their own perspectives. Similarly, in science practical examinations, students are required to conduct experiments and arrive at new findings. Activities like these clearly show that examinations can enhance the creative abilities of children.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: medium;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2;">Moreover, even if examinations result in a certain level of anxiety or pressure, it should only be considered reasonable as they would inspire students to work harder to have a sense of achievement. In other words, a fair amount of tension helps children to make greater efforts for achieving higher grades or marks. Researches have proved that stress can produce favourable chemicals in the body, like adrenalin to help body to aim higher.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: medium;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2;">On the other hand, examinations do lead to excess stress in certain children, which is mainly due to lack of preparation or pressure from family members or teachers to perform well. Moreover, a certain amount of rote learning is involved in examinations which can reduce the creativity of children to some extent. Nonetheless, proper guidance and counselling can help children to handle their exam related anxieties successfully. Moreover, more innovative ways of conducting tests to reduce the need for memorising can help children to enhance their creative abilities.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: medium;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2;">In conclusion, it unreasonable to ban examinations because they play a very vital role in helping children to approach studies with greater earnestness. It also helps to develop their imaginative expressions rather than suppressing them.</span></div>

<b><span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 13.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Some
people believe that mobile phones should be banned in public, especially in
public transport, restaurants, and cinemas.
Others think that people should be allowed to use mobile phones
anywhere. Discuss both views and give

introduction:</b> The use of mobile phones can sometimes become a nuisance, as
people sometimes talk loudly and disturb others in public places. Nonetheless, I tend to believe that it is unreasonable
to prohibit the use of such a useful communication device in public.)<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 13.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">On
the one hand, important messages need to be communicated to people even when
they are in public places. To explain, when
people are away from home they are often found in places like shopping malls,
cinemas and public transportation systems and cell phones have played a very
significant role in keeping individuals connected with each other. For example, only when people are always
accessible on a mobile device, information about a theft, accident or death can
be conveyed to them immediately, so that required action can be taken by the
people concerned. This would clearly
emphasis the need for people to be accessible to each other electronically at
all times.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

the indiscriminate use of mobile phones has become a serious concern, as people
speak loudly, disturbing the privacy of others. We sometimes witness people
talking loudly on mobile phones in theatres and movie halls and deny the
enjoyment of the people who sit nearby.</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

misuse, I believe that most people are aware of the public behaviour required
for mobile use, and they talk softly or move to an empty corner to carry on
their conversation. Moreover, through educational institutions and the
media, government can give awareness about the proper use of mobile phones,
instead of banning them altogether in public.</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

them in public is unwise as they help people to communicate with each other at
all times and more efficiently.</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b><span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 13.0pt;">In
some countries, governments are encouraging industries and businesses to move
to regional areas outside the big cities.</span></b><b><span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 13.0pt;"> <b><span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif";">Do the advantages of
this trend outweigh the disadvantages?</span></b></span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 13.0pt; font-weight: normal;">The presence of many businesses and factories in large
cities has created enormous problems for urban life.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Although there may be minor inconveniences,
it would be greatly advantageous if governments would encourage the management to
shift or start their establishments in less crowded regions.</span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 13.0pt; font-weight: normal;">An obvious benefit of this strategy is that overcrowding of
cities can be reduced to a great extent.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>It is clear, that increasing number of commercial enterprises has
attracted a large number of professionals and workers to urban areas, which has
resulted in problems like traffic congestion, inefficient waste-management and
pollution.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For instance, during the
morning and evening peak commuting time, the roads in a metropolis like Bangalore
in India are jam-packed and it is one the most polluted cities in India.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The tax incentives offered by the state
government for companies that would establish labour intensive software facilities
in the satellite cities like Mysore and Hosur, attracted many companies.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This initiative has helped the administration
to handle the growing urban problems and distribute the available resources
more efficiently in this fast growing city.</span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 13.0pt; font-weight: normal;">On the other hand, operating businesses and industries in
regional areas would be challenging for companies, in attracting skilled professionals,
servicing clients and dealing with poor infrastructural facilities.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This would mean that many highly skilled engineers
and business professionals would hesitate to relocate to smaller towns or
regional areas, for lack of superior educational facilities and lifestyle opportunities.<b> </b></span></b><span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 13.0pt; font-weight: normal;">The inadequacy of efficient logistic and communication systems would also be a serious problem.</span><b><span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 13.0pt; font-weight: normal;"><br /></span></b><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Overall,
public transport use grew by 17% for all capital cities combined, with
Melbourne experiencing the highest growth (35%).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>While increased use of public transport is
reflected across most capital cities, only Canberra and Hobart experienced a
decline in the proportion of adults using it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>In Canberra, public transport use fell by about 31% between 1996 and
2006. While rates of use fluctuated in Hobart over this period, the 2006 rate was
around 20% lower than that in 1996.<br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">In 2006,
Sydney had the highest level of public transport use, with over one-quarter
(26%) using it, whereas Canberra (8%) recorded the lowest level of public
transport usage. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Other capital cities
that made significant contribution to the public transport use are Melbourne,
Brisbane and Adelaide at 17.7%, 17.5% and 14.4% respectively.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">In
conclusion, most capital cities in Australia experienced a moderate increase in
the use of public transport, but it was only a small proportion compared to
other forms of transport.</span></div>

<b><u><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The
20th century</span></u></b><b><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> witnessed
<u>huge breakthroughs</u> in <u>air travel</u> and <u>communication</u>. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This has brought <u>benefits</u> to many
nations through <u>close contact</u> with <u>foreigners</u> at different levels,
from <u>tourism</u> to <u>business</u>. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Some
people, however, say there were <u>more drawbacks</u> than <u>benefits</u>. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>To what extent do you agree or disagree?</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Countries
have achieved substantial progress in various fields, such as business and
tourism as a result of closer international relations through developments in
airline sector and electronic communication.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>However, we need to examine whether the negative impacts of these
developments have outweighed the benefits.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Firstly, frequent
flights and cheaper airfares are the latest trends in airline sector, which has
boosted tourism in many countries, helping them to reap great economic
benefits.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Besides, even areas like
mountains and jungle regions have become exotic tourist destinations due to
easy accessibility by air. For example, a major income in many African counties
and island nations like Singapore is tourism and the main reason is the
popularity of air-travel.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Similarly,
through developments in internet communication, people now can book their
flights and hotels online, which has made travel more convenient and economical.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Furthermore,
international businesses have grown tremendously, as executives can
conveniently fly to different countries and communicate online to transact
businesses.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Another area that has emerged
due to the development of modern communication systems is business
outsourcing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For example, many Indian
companies like Infosys and Wipro today perform software development and back
office jobs for major US firms, through their employees located in Indian
cities like Bangalore and Hyderabad.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">However, greater
access to people of other countries has also led to certain consequences like
internationalisation of criminal activities like terrorism and degradation of
the cultures of people in underdeveloped countries.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Nonetheless, these negative aspects have very
little significance as individuals and businesses in all countries have greatly
benefitted from development of air travel and communication. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">In summary, despite
certain drawbacks, the growth of air travel and communication systems has definitely
helped the comprehensive development of the economies of many countries.</span></div>

it is <u>easy</u> to <u>apply for</u> and <u>be given</u> a <u>credit card</u>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However, some people <u>experience problems</u>
when they are <u>not able to pay their debts</u> back. In your opinion, do the <u>advantages</u>
of credit cards <u>outweigh</u> the <u>disadvantages</u>?</span></b></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Most banks today have reduced the formalities required for issuing a credit card but the inability to repay credit card debts has driven many into mounting
financial difficulties.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Yet, I believe
that this electronic credit facility is greatly
advantageous to people, if handled with proper caution and prudence.</span></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">In the first
place, credit cards have enabled people to handle their large financial
emergencies without strain and pay back </span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> the money </span></span>later in easy installments.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For example, if an individual has an unforeseen
hospital expense as a result of an accident or illness he can use his card to borrow
money without going to a bank or approaching another person.</span></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Moreover, people
can travel without mental stress or anxiety about any unexpected crisis.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For instance, people who travel abroad
often experience difficulties like, unexpected cancellation, delay of flights
and loss of luggage.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>On such occasions
people can easily make use of credit cards to pay the extra money they need.</span></span><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Nevertheless,
if people are not able to repay their credit card interest on time they could
end up in serious financial troubles.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This
usually occurs when people borrow money beyond their expected weekly or monthly
income or engage in excessive shopping using this facility.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Besides, some people are less conscious about the amount of money they
spend or the date of repayment.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
above points clearly show that credit cards cause financial liabilities when
people use them unwisely or without discretion.</span></span><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">I summary, credit
cards have proven to be extremely beneficial to people in terms of managing
their financial emergencies.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If people
use them with greater care, they can effectively overcome the negative impacts to a large
extent.</span></span></div>
