IELTS 7 BAND EASSY 2019

This essay was written on a topic from " TARGET 7 BANDS " book (page 54, reprinted with permission).

You should spend about 40 minutes on this task

Education in financial management should be a mandatory component of the school program. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?

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

Write at least 250 words

More and more young adults in our country are heavily indebted. Thus, it is considered by some that it should be mandatory to educate school children in the administration of money. In my opinion, people should not leave school without a sound knowledge of financial management.

To begin with, a country’s development is strongly depended upon the purchasing capacity of its inhabitants. That is to say, people who are in debt or financially vulnerable, would not be able to spend freely or invest, for example, in a new house, thus hindering the economic growth of the country. As a consequence, the rate of inflation would rise and people would be able to afford even less, which could ultimately result in the collapse of the entire economy. A good example of this vicious circle can be seen in countries such as Argentina, where people have to buy household items in the black market, because they cannot afford to buy them in regular stores due to skyrocketing prices. Therefore, it is of utmost importance to teach children early in money management.

Another point to consider is the low standard of living that people have when they mismanage their finances. Individuals who are constantly short of money could eventually end up being socially isolated and unhappy, because they couldn’t afford to participate in leisure activities, such as going to the cinema with a friend, resulting in their withdrawal from social life. However, this could be avoided with ease by offering courses in money management.

In conclusion, I strongly believe that school children should be taught how to manage their finances to prevent social isolation later in their life as well as to maintain the economic force of their country.

The writer’s position is clear throughout the essay. Paragraphing is used effectively to organise ideas and information, however the paragraphs could have been balanced better in terms of the amount of content. The advanced vocabulary the writer uses creates a good impression of mature and fluent writer. Overall, the control of grammar and punctuation is fine, and the number of errors is small. The essay could achieve Band 8 in IELTS.

                                      IELTS 2019             

There few things everyone need to consider before ielts exam in 2019.Which we will discuss, but first all you have to know about the ielts. Actually Ielts is English language test, which helps you to fulfill your dream for study in abroad.

And before going to talk about 2019 ielts tests,

lets talk about something 2018 ielts tests ,
In this year (2018) ielts achieved greats heights. In simple words 2018 was the peak year of ielts till now. Even one cannot imagine the real figures of ielts candidates because its beyond our imagination. You can estimates ielts candidate's strength by seeing the increasing number  of ielts tests centers in this year.

but now lets start and talk about 2019.

2019 may be the most crucial year for ielts as well as ielts' candidates, because in this you can make your self and most importantly can achieve yours dreams.But for that there number of things everyone need to consider. that is

 1. Test date.

 2. Test centres.

 3. Performance.

 4. Evaluation. 

 5. Self confidence 

 1. Test Date :-

I know no one love to discuss about this and most of the academic students  think that when they fill there test with general test then they more band score as compare to only academic test dates, but this is all in mind. Choose test date according to your preference and when you thing now your are able to perform good in your test.
And first three months of every year plays pivotal role in ielts , because in first three months  rush of candidates are always very less because of some reasons.
So, if you are ready then first three months are for you.


 2. Test centres :-

Although your performance is in your hands,but sometimes test centres also play very key role in your ielts test. Like if you get good atmosphere and assistance then chances of your success would increase. So always go for those centres which are providing good test environment.


3.  Your performance:-

Thing,which is most important that is your performance. Without good performance you never get what you want. So performance is must in every field and same in ielts you have to perform even its good or bad but you need to perform especially in your test.
Try to write all answers because in ielts you are judged by your performance.


4. Evaluation scheme :-

Evaluating your self and performance is must in ielts because judging your performance you never get chance to know about your actual performance. Good tutor and evaluator is the first need of ielts so before doing anything first choose your evaluator,who can guide you and tell you about your mistakes.
   

5. Self confidence:-

Self confidence is also part of ielts. Without self confidence no one can achieve anything in ielts even in his life. If we talk about speaking then first thing,which examiners wants from candidates that us confidence. So everyone need to be confident during his/her exam.
