Technology andtraditional cultures are incompatible.To what extent do you agree or disagree with this view?Some people believe that technological developments lead to the loss of traditional cultures. Whilethis may be true in the case of some societies, others seem to be unaffected by technology andthe modern world.On the one hand, the advances in technology that have driven industrialisation in developedcountries have certainly contributed to the disappearance of traditional ways of life. For example,in pre-industrial Britain, generations of families grew up in the same small village communities.These communities had a strong sense of identity, due to their shared customs and beliefs.However, developments in transport, communications and manufacturing led to the dispersal offamilies and village communities as people moved to the cities in search of work. Nowadays mostBritish villages are inhabited by commuters, many of whom do not know their closest neighbours.On the other hand, in some parts of the world traditional cultures still thrive. There are tribes in theAmazon Rainforest, for example, that have been completely untouched by the technologicaldevelopments of the developed world. These tribal communities continue to hunt and gather foodfrom the forest, and traditional skills are passed on to children by parents and elders. Othertraditional cultures, such as farming communities in parts of Africa, are embracing communicationstechnologies. Mobile phones give farmers access to information, from weather predictions tomarket prices, which helps them to prosper and therefore supports their culture.In conclusion, many traditional ways of life have been lost as a result of advances in technology,but other traditional communities have survived and even flourished.(260 words, band 9)雅思干货铺有雅思备考所需的各种雅思干货加小编微信：ielts_seven，送你所有的考官 Simon大小作文范文及话题思路合集 本资料由雅思干货君整理，正好一页一篇范文，非常适合打印出来认真研读。Most people have forgotten the meaning behind traditional or religious festivals; duringfestival periods, people nowadays only want to enjoy themselves.To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?Some people argue that we no longer remember the original meaning of festivals, and that most ofus treat them as opportunities to have fun. While I agree that enjoyment seems to be the priorityduring festival times, I do not agree that people have forgotten what these festivals mean.On the one hand, religious and traditional festivals have certainly become times for celebration. Inthe UK, Christmas is a good example of a festival period when people are most concerned withshopping, giving and receiving presents, decorating their homes and enjoying traditional meals withtheir families. Most people look forward to Christmas as a holiday period, rather than a time topractise religion. Similar behaviour can be seen during non-religious festivals, such as Bonfire Night.People associate this occasion with making fires, watching firework displays, and perhaps going tolarge events in local parks; in other words, enjoyment is peoples primary goal.However, I disagree with the idea that the underlying meaning of such festivals has been forgotten.In UK primary schools, children learn in detail about the religious reasons for celebrating Christmas,Easter and a variety of festivals in other religions. For example, in late December, children singChristmas songs which have a religious content, and they may even perform nativity plays tellingthe story of Jesus birth. Families also play a role in passing knowledge of religious festivals deepersignificance on to the next generation. The same is true for festivals that have a historicalbackground, such as Bonfire Night or Halloween, in the sense that people generally learn the storiesbehind these occasions at an early age.In conclusion, although people mainly want to enjoy themselves during festivals, I believe that theyare still aware of the reasons for these celebrations.(296 words, band 9)雅思干货铺有雅思备考所需的各种雅思干货加小编微信：ielts_seven，送你所有的考官 Simon大小作文范文及话题思路合集 本资料由雅思干货君整理，正好一页一篇范文，非常适合打印出来认真研读。We cannot help everyone in the world that needs help, so we should only be concerned withour own communities and countries.To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?Some people believe that we should not help people in other countries as long as there are problemsin our own society. I disagree with this view because I believe that we should try to help as manypeople as possible.On the one hand, I accept that it is important to help our neighbours and fellow citizens. In mostcommunities there are people who are impoverished or disadvantaged in some way. It is possibleto find homeless people, for example, in even the wealthiest of cities, and for those who areconcerned about this problem, there are usually opportunities to volunteer time or give money tosupport these people. In the UK, people can help in a variety of ways, from donating clothing toserving free food in a soup kitchen. As the problems are on our doorstep, and there are obviousways to help, I can understand why some people feel that we should prioritise local charity.At the same time, I believe that we have an obligation to help those who live beyond our nationalborders. In some countries the problems that people face are much more serious than those in ourown communities, and it is often even easier to help. For example, when children are dying fromcurable diseases in African countries, governments and individuals in richer countries can save livessimply by paying for vaccines that already exist. A small donation to an international charity mighthave a much greater impact than helping in our local area.In conclusion, it is true that we cannot help everyone, but in my opinion national boundaries shouldnot stop us from helping those who are in need.(280 words, band 9)雅思干货铺有雅思备考所需的各种雅思干货加小编微信：ielts_seven，送你所有的考官 Simon大小作文范文及话题思路合集 本资料由雅思干货君整理，正好一页一篇范文，非常适合打印出来认真研读。Some people believe that hobbies need to be difficult to be enjoyable.To what extent do you agree or disagree?Some hobbies are relatively easy, while others present more of a challenge. Personally, I believethat both types of hobby can be fun, and I therefore disagree with the statement that hobbies needto be difficult in order to be enjoyable.On the one hand, many people enjoy easy hobbies. One example of an activity that is easy for mostpeople is swimming. This hobby requires very little equipment, it is simple to learn, and it isinexpensive. I remember learning to swim at my local swimming pool when I was a child, and it neverfelt like a demanding or challenging experience. Another hobby that I find easy and fun isphotography. In my opinion, anyone can take interesting pictures without knowing too much aboutthe technicalities of operating a camera. Despite being straightforward, taking photos is a satisfyingactivity.On the other hand, difficult hobbies can sometimes be more exciting. If an activity is morechallenging, we might feel a greater sense of satisfaction when we manage to do it successfully. Forexample, film editing is a hobby that requires a high level of knowledge and expertise. In my case,it took me around two years before I became competent at this activity, but now I enjoy it much morethan I did when I started. I believe that many hobbies give us more pleasure when we reach a higherlevel of performance because the results are better and the feeling of achievement is greater.In conclusion, simple hobbies can be fun and relaxing, but difficult hobbies can be equallypleasurable for different reasons.266 words雅思干货铺有雅思备考所需的各种雅思干货加小编微信：ielts_seven，送你所有的考官 Simon大小作文范文及话题思路合集 本资料由雅思干货君整理，正好一页一篇范文，非常适合打印出来认真研读。Universities should accept equal numbers of male and female students in every subject.To what extent do you agree or disagree?In my opinion, men and women should have the same educational opportunities. However, I do notagree with the idea of accepting equal proportions of each gender in every university subject.Having the same number of men and women on all degree courses is simply unrealistic. Studentnumbers on any course depend on the applications that the institution receives. If a universitydecided to fill courses with equal numbers of males and females, it would need enough applicantsof each gender. In reality, many courses are more popular with one gender than the other, and itwould not be practical to aim for equal proportions. For example, nursing courses tend to attractmore female applicants, and it would be difficult to fill these courses if fifty per cent of the placesneeded to go to males.Apart from the practical concerns expressed above, I also believe that it would be unfair to baseadmission to university courses on gender. Universities should continue to select the bestcandidates for each course according to their qualifications. In this way, both men and women havethe same opportunities, and applicants know that they will be successful if they work hard to achievegood grades at school. If a female student is the best candidate for a place on a course, it is surelywrong to reject her in favour of a male student with lower grades or fewer qualifications.In conclusion, the selection of university students should be based on merit, and it would be bothimpractical and unfair to change to a selection procedure based on gender.(265 words, band 9)雅思干货铺有雅思备考所需的各种雅思干货加小编微信：ielts_seven，送你所有的考官 Simon大小作文范文及话题思路合集 本资料由雅思干货君整理，正好一页一篇范文，非常适合打印出来认真研读。Some people think that instead of preventing climate change, we need to find a way to livewith it.To what extent do you agree or disagree?Climate change represents a major threat to life on Earth, but some people argue that we need toaccept it rather than try to stop it. I completely disagree with this opinion, because I believe that westill have time to tackle this issue and reduce the human impact on the Earths climate.There are various measures that governments and individuals could take to prevent, or at leastmitigate, climate change. Governments could introduce laws to limit the carbon dioxide emissionsthat lead to global warming. They could impose “green taxes” on drivers, airline companies and otherpolluters, and they could invest in renewable energy production from solar, wind or water power. Asindividuals, we should also try to limit our contribution to climate change, by becoming more energyefficient, by flying less, and by using bicycles and public transport. Furthermore, the public can affectthe actions of governments by voting for politicians who propose to tackle climate change, ratherthan for those who would prefer to ignore it.If instead of taking the above measures we simply try to live with climate change, I believe that theconsequences will be disastrous. To give just one example, I am not optimistic that we would beable to cope with even a small rise in sea levels. Millions of people would be displaced by flooding,particularly in countries that do not have the means to safeguard low-lying areas. These peoplewould lose their homes and their jobs, and they would be forced to migrate to nearby cities orperhaps to other countries. The potential for human suffering would be huge, and it is likely that wewould see outbreaks of disease and famine, as well as increased homelessness and poverty.In conclusion, it is clear to me that we must address the problem of climate change, and I disagreewith those who argue that we can find ways to live with it.雅思干货铺有雅思备考所需的各种雅思干货加小编微信：ielts_seven，送你所有的考官 Simon大小作文范文及话题思路合集 本资料由雅思干货君整理，正好一页一篇范文，非常适合打印出来认真研读。323 wordsSome people who have been in prison become good citizens later, and it is often argued thatthese are the best people to talk to teenagers about the dangers of committing a crime.To what extent do you agree or disagree?It is true that ex-prisoners can become normal, productive members of society. I completely agreewith the idea that allowing such people to speak to teenagers about their experiences is the bestway to discourage them from breaking the law.In my opinion, teenagers are more likely to accept advice from someone who can speak fromexperience. Reformed offenders can tell young people about how they became involved in crime,the dangers of a criminal lifestyle, and what life in prison is really like. They can also dispel any ideasthat teenagers may have about criminals leading glamorous lives. While adolescents are oftenindifferent to the guidance given by older people, I imagine that most of them would be extremelykeen to hear the stories of an ex-offender. The vivid and perhaps shocking nature of these storiesis likely to have a powerful impact.The alternatives to using reformed criminals to educate teenagers about crime would be much lesseffective. One option would be for police officers to visit schools and talk to young people. This couldbe useful in terms of informing teens about what happens to lawbreakers when they are caught, butyoung people are often reluctant to take advice from figures of authority. A second option would befor school teachers to speak to their students about crime, but I doubt that students would seeteachers as credible sources of information about this topic. Finally, educational films might beinformative, but there would be no opportunity for young people to interact and ask questions.In conclusion, I fully support the view that people who have turned their lives around after serving aprison sentence could help to deter teenagers from committing crimes.(287 words, band 9)雅思干货铺有雅思备考所需的各种雅思干货加小编微信：ielts_seven，送你所有的考官 Simon大小作文范文及话题思路合集 本资料由雅思干货君整理，正好一页一篇范文，非常适合打印出来认真研读。The older generations tend to have very traditional ideas about how people should live, thinkand behave. However, some people believe that these ideas are not helpful in preparingyounger generations for modern life.To what extent do you agree or disagree with this view?It is true that many older people believe in traditional values that often seem incompatible with theneeds of younger people. While I agree that some traditional ideas are outdated, I believe that othersare still useful and should not be forgotten.On the one hand
